Yesterday.

Early Sunday morning several houses
were entered in the Fifth and Sixth ward.
The residence OF Julius Shubert, in alley
Z, near the Belmont coal bank, was entered
by thieves whose entrance was gained by
cutting out a window in the rear of the
house. The noise awakened Mr.. Shubert,
who quietly got up and got his shooting
iron ready and opened tire ON them, bat
without effect He claims that there were
only two men at his house, one OF whom
was q very tall man. After a tn )rough eS-
animation yesterday it was discovered that
the thieves had not taken away anything.
vt the next place entered the thieves
had better luck, as they got away with
large piece Of mutton and other eatables
and a keg Of ale. This was Mr.. Pierce's
residence, corner of EoT and Twcnty-third
streets.
Mr.. Samuel Dally's house, which sdjOinS
this, was enteredat the same time, butyery
few things were taken. The burglars were
undoubtedly q cool set, as the remnants OF
their feast were left on the pOrtico OF

out Of Piercc's dwelling they eat and drank
what was perishable. No clothing or any

The Gray Head by the Hearth.

A private letter from lady who is
spending the year among the peasants
of the Tyrol, says: 1.-The morning after
our arrival we were wakened by the
sound of a violin and flutes under the
window, and, hurrying down, found the
little house adorned as for feast; gar
lands over the door and wreathing
high chair which was set in state.
1.-The table was already covered with
gifts, brought by the young people
whose music we had heard. The whole
neighborhood were kinsfolk, and these
gifts came from uncles and cousins in
every far-off degree; they were simple,
for the donors were poor: knitted gloves,
a shawl, baskets of flowers, jars of fruit,
loaves of bread; but upon all some
little message of love was pinned.
"'Is there a bride in the houseP /
asked of my landlord.
Zach, neinr he said I'VE do not
make such a bother about our young
people. 1t is the grandmother's birth
day
THE grandmother, in her spectacles,
white apron and high velvet cap, was a
heroine all day, sitting in state to re-
ceive visits and dealing out slices from
a sweet loaf to all who came. could
not but remember certain grandmothers
at home, Just as much loved as she,
probably, but whose dull, sad lives were
never frightened by any such gust of
pleasure as this; and thought we could
learn much from these poor noun
tameers."
We remember certain American
house of the higher class, in which the
venerable mother of the owner had her
own boudoir filled with everything
which could recall her long checkered
| life pleasantly to her in its tranquil old
age. That room was the center of the
| great mansion; no guest entered the
house without desiring to pay his re.
spects to her, although only the most
favored were admitted. The effect upon
the young people who came to the house
of this marked genuine reverence for
age was incalculable for good. The
new generation is always apt TO be in
tolerant of those who are leaving the
stage; apt, too, to slight their expert
ence and opinions. III they do not find
their parents honoring age, where will
they learn to honor them?
Americans are usually affectionate &c
the aged members of the family; but
they lack the tenderness, Difference and
care which the French show to them,
and by which they bring heat and light
into their colorlesS lives. 1t is moi
enough to give neglected seat in the
chimney-corner to the gray-haired moth
er or father; use such devices and limo
cent wilos as will make them feel thai
they have not lost their place among
men; that the work which they hav,
done is appreciated; and above all, tha
! they still have work for others to do.
