r. tho Voter. Of the seventh District
Commencement Concerts.

repeated SO often in our city since Ine
establishment of our female Schools
and have been witnessed SO frequently
by our citizens, that they begin to think
they are gotten up for their special
and delectation and, II the
music is not of the.kind to suit them,
they vote the concert a bore, and 60
home growing because, forsooth, the mu-
sic was not up to the standard OF the
finest professional musicians, and every
young girl was not Parepa Rosa
Now we protest against this kind OF
carping criticism it is not just to our
selves, nor to the young ladies. 1t
should not be expected, and it is not in
tended, that these concerts should be
given for any other purpose than that
of exhibiting the progress, from year to
year, which the pupils have made, under
the care and instruction of their teach
ers. We should remember the weary
hours of lingering, of practicing, OF
running the scales, and all the daily
drudgery for months, that a girl goes
through with before she can make her
appearance before an audience in the
most simple piece and this is none the
less so if she be the brightest musical
genius that has ever triumphed before
the most cultivated audiences of the
world. 1t requires hours, days, weeks,
months, and years to make proficient
performer or a cultivated singer, and
yet it is expected that these young girls
shall, after session or two at one of our
female schools, come forth prepared to
sing and play in a manner which pro-
fessionals alone, after years of arduous
labor, can attain to.
Now, we are no musician, either nat
urally or by cultivation, yet it is always
pleasure, kind of subdued pleasure
it is true, to US to attend these annual
soirees, and see the bright young faces
of the girls beaming with pride and
joy, and yet with modest hesitation,
as they advance to play their first Com
mencement piece, or sing their first
Commencement song. It is the acme
of the hopes and aspirations of many
weary months of labor, and we sympa-
thize with them in their tasks and re-
joice with them in their elimination
1t is not for us to criticise their failings
or comment on their shortcomings
They are, doubtless, as fully, if not more
fully, aware of them than we are. If
we do not enjoy the concerts to which
we are freely invited, we are not de-
prived of the liberty of remaining at
home,
We have been led into these refiec-
tions by hearing people, after attending
these concerts, berating them for being
boring, and complaining that the sing
ing was miserable, and the instrument
tai music of too operate q character to
be interesting to them. That may all
be very true, but at the same time the
entertainment was free one, and was
given to exhibit not the talent, but the
improvement, of the pupils, and we
cannot think any one have right to
complain of being bored, when they have
the liberty left them of leaving when
they choose, or, in the first instance,
of not going at all.

Although the great State of Texas is supposed to have more cattle in it than any other State, and we think it has; yet there is more assessed cattle in the State of New York, than in any other State.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

To KEEP PLANTS BEARING.- The production of seed is an ex- haustive process and, as a rule, its completion is signalized either ky the death of the plant, if an annual or by temporary suspension of the P ocess of growth, if biennial or tricnnial. The immediate end for which nature has sustained it has been attained. live are culii- rating it for seed, our object is the same, and we should not interfere with natures processes, but if, as in the case of the okra, the cucumber. and the summer squash. we make use of the immature fruit and desire to increase and prolong its produc- tion, we must carefully cut off, be- fore maturity, all that is produced, whether We can make use of them or not so as to encourage an abnor- mal production. If seed are desir. ed, certain plants should be set apart for their production and the earliest and best fruit be allowed 10 ripen. The same rule applies in the flower garden. If we desire continued bloom, the plants must not be allowed to mature seeds.
 RoBBISG THE SoIL.-Rotation n in crops is demonstrated as being not only best but demanded. The continual growing and gathering from the same field a harvest of the same or kindred product will, in due time deprive the soil in that field of the ability 10 produce that cs- pecial article, as it has taken from the soil all that is necessary for the successful production of that crop, and either fertilizers must be sup piled or thc field become wholly worthless, save for some other and entirely different kind of product. When crops fail of themselves, the failure can, as rule, be traced to the neglect of man, and not to the defect of nature or mistake of the Creator.-Factory and Farm.

 CURRANr IcE.-Boil down three pints of water and pound and q half of sugar to one quart-skim, add two tea-cups of currant juice, and, when partly frozen, add the whites of five eggs.
 REPoTTIYG.-The best time for repotting plants is from the latter part of July until the middle of September, according to the kind of plants some require earlier potting than others. They do not need changing oftncr than twice a year. ] CENTENNIAL MEAD.-Mix one quart of boiling water, two and a quarter pounds of brown sugar, { two ounces of tartaric acid, and one half pint of molasses. When cool add one half ounce of any favoring extract. Two fingers of ,his syrup in a glass of ice water makes a re- freshing Summer drink. Serve each glass with one quarter teaspoonful of bi-carbonatc of soda.
