Success With Small Fruits.

The value of the series of articles by
Mr.. E. P. Roe, now appearing in Serb
ner's Monthly on the above subject, Is
not only appreciated by thousands of
people who are trying. as amateurs, to
cultivate fruits of different kinds, but
is bringing words of high praise from
experienced horticulturists. Nothing OF
the kind has been attempted for years,
and the advances that have been made
in the science of horticulture since any
standard book has been written on the
subject make these articles unrivaled.
The editor of the Rural NeO- Yorker
writes to Mr.. Roe as follows: " have
often said AID written that small fruits
should be cultivated by everybody
that owns or hires plot of ground,
even If no larger than an ordinary
grass-plot for drying clothes. If the
benevolent institutions of our cities
would encourage it among the poorer
classes with which their good work
brings them in contact, believe that a
more substantial benefit would result
than from any of the methods at pres
ent pursued for their betterment.
Horticulture is captivating occu-
patton in any of its branches, and in
none more so than in the cultivation of
small fruits. There is nothing but =
lack of knowledge on the subject that
deprives the poorest people in the land
of a bountiful supply during the entire
season. It seems to me that your
strawberry articles in the Scribaer-in
so far as they may be judged by the first
two numbers--are we'll calculated to pro-
mote just such q popular appreciation
of the strawberry at least; and l hope
you will not stop until you have dealt
with the raspberry, blackberry, cur
rant, gooseberrY, and grape in the
same familiar, inspiriting, and COM
prehensive way"
Mr.. Peter Henderson, the veteran
scotsman, writes: "The time is ripe
for your articles, as vast improvements
have been made since Fuller wrote,
not only in culture but in varieties.
X Your instructions have the
true practical ring that. no writer on
such subjects can attain without actual
experience" Mr.. w. II. Coleman,
one of the best horticultural writers in
the country, speaks in high praise of
the papers, aud adds, "Your artists are
doing things before unequaled on such
subjects. The first article taught me
good deal about strawberry history that
1 didn't know before"
January Scribner contains the third
paper in the series, devoted to" Straw
berries for Home and Market, the IL
lustrations for which are probably the
finest of the kind ever produced in this
country.

In the Haunts of Vice.

The Rev. Talmage in the course of a
sermon delivered at the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle, described what he saw during
a visit to the so called palaces of sin of
Gotham. Said the reverend divine:
"But 1 have to report that saw
some things that amazed me more than
1 can tell. do not want to tell it for
it will take pain to hearts far away, but
I must. l saw young men with the
ruddy health of country life stamped
upon their checks They had gathered
in the harvest grain beneath Gods blue
sky with the honest strong hands God
had given them. What were they do
ing here They had heard how gayly
a boat dances on the edge OF mael-
str0m, and they were venturing. I
saw that young man when lie first con-
suited evil. I saw that it was his first
night. A look of defiance was in his
face, saying, I am more powerful than
SIM Then I saw the shade of pain
full reflection passing across his face.
l think soft voice came out of that
tawdry, gaudy furniture. whispering to
him above the discordant music. But
sin triumphed and he turned to the
tempter. 1 don't feel so keenly sorrow
full for young men brought up in the
city and accustomed to city life when
see them thus, but l pity the young
man from the country.
"Oh! young man from the far hills,
whit have your parents done that you
should treat them SO? When you were
gathering the harvest apples down
r th. oornar nf tho Int ~ Thora tha
little brook murmurs by, did yon think
you would come to this ? Do you pre-
fer this brazen. painted, grinning thing
to that old, wrinkled face which smiles
in sympathy with every one of your
smiles. and weeps when you are unhap-
py? Look at those distorted fingers.
What made them so? Working for you.
sir, working for you. Write home to
your poor, old, gray haired mother,
cursing her; curse her white locks;
curse the cradle you were rocked in.
What? You won't? But you are
doing worse. The news of your prodl
gacy will kill her. Some old gossip
will fnd the way to your mothers cot
tage on an afternoon when the sun is
shining bright and all the beautiful
country is smiling for joy. She will
enter when your mother IS sitting by
the window, and presently she will say,
do you know your son drinks
"Then your mother will ask to have
the door opened; she feels faint. And
still into her ear will be poured the
story of your life here. She will go out
and sit down ON the old, worn step
where you used to play and cry. BY
and by the doctors gig will come up
through the quiet, sha iy lane and he'll
stop. He'll come again and again, but
she II get worse instead of better. Then
the village bell will toll, and the farm
ers will drive up i'll their old wagons
and hitch their hcrses there under the
maple trees. And they'll ask -
{" What did she die Of?
"One of the village doctors will say,
malaria and another intermittent
fever Young man, she died of brok-
Ell heart"

Mr.. Seymour Haden. in his new work
on etching, tells an odd story of Mer
yon. that eccentric and insane genius.
He went to visit Meryon and found him
III clean, but plain little room. high up
on Montmartre. He was at work and
did not resist Haden's visit ;" but with
. courtesy quite natural, offered me,
aud apologized for, the single chair,
and at once began t, discuss the re-
sources and charms of etching. He
was also good enough to allow me TO
take away with me a few impressions
of his work, for which, while his back
was turned, was scrupulous to leave
upon the table what l was Hure was
more than the dealers would have given
for them and so we parted, the best of
friends. But what follower showed
how, even then, his mini was unhinged.
l had walked fully two miles in the di-
rection of Paris, and was entering
shop in the Rue de Richelieu, when l
became aware that Meryon, much agi
tated, was following me. He said he
must have back the proofs had bought
of him ; that they were of nature to
compromise him, and that from what
he knew of the etched work which
l called my own,' he was determined l
should not take them to England with
me ], of course, gave them back to
him and he went his way and 1t was
not till after his death that l became
aware that about this time he had writ
ten to the editor of the Gozette des
Beau.c A,ts to caution him against being
taken in by me, and to impart to him
the conviction that the plates which l
pretended to have done we're not done
by me at all, or even in that century !;
but that, doubtless, had discovered
and bought them, and signed, and
adopted them as my own"

Burmese Customs.

Marriage Is purely ClSll 11tc.
When young people understand each
other" the mother or eldest female rel
ative of the girl sounds the girls moth
er, and if she offers no objection, some
of the suitor's elderly kinsfolk propose
the marriage formally to the parents OF
the bride elect, and arrange whatever
settlement can be made. Their consent
being given, the bridegroom provides
the trousseau according to the capacity
of his purse. A feast is prepared; the
affianced pair eat ont Of the same dish
in the presence of the assembled guests,
AMI then the husband presents his wife
with some ala-pet, or picked tea; she
does the same by him, and the ceremo-
ny is completed. This preserved or
picked tea is made up from some gln-
tinous substance into small balls or
cakes, and is chiefly imported from the
countries bordering on China. 1t IS
much used on ceremonial occasions, by
the Burmese, who dress it with seasum
oil and garlic, and look upon it as q
great delicacy.
Rice, as in most other Asiatic coun-
tries. forms the staple food, and is usu-
ally accompanied by stewed meat and
vegetables. Cucumber salad is very
popular dish, and chutneys of different
favors also abound, the most indispen-
sable one to Burmese repast being a
very strong compound of prawns and
the roes of various fish, seasoned with
chillies, garlic and other spicy condi-
ments. Bird's-nest soup is as highly
priced as it is in China.
The meals are served up in circular
red trays of graduated sizes, fitting,
one after another. into conical appar-
atus called an "oak." The largest tray
holds the rice and is placed at the bot
tom; and the others contain cups and
plates of meat, fish, etc. The assem-
| bled company sit round the rice, and
help themselves to it by handfuls,
which they season with the contents of
the smaller dishes, passing them from
one to another. They are all water
drinkers, as become devout Buddhists.
Their religion forbids them to kill
any animal, but they have no scruple
in eating what has been killed by other
people. Their appetites are remarka
bly, robust, and they do not hesitate to
eat creatures that have died q natural
death, and are not at all inclined to de-
spise the flesh of rats, snakes and liz
ards, while some of the tribes highly
appreciate roast, and even raw monkey.
