The Stkameu Northern Light which through unskilful management, appeared likely to prove a failure is now cutting through the ice between Prince Edward Island and Pioton, this is the steamer which was built expressly for this traffic. The Empebor or Brazil, who is a present travelling in Egypt, met with a dUagreebla adveature the other day in Cairo. His Mfyesty is very fond of donkey riding, and one morning, having descended into the street in a jacket and small cap, with a light switch under one arm, mount ed one of those little animals and trotted off on an expedition through a labyrinth of back streets. On returning from his ride, not wishing to alight from the donkey in front of bis hotel, he pnlled it up a few hundred yards from the building, and not having any " small change " in his pocket, gave the donkey driver a guinea instead of a piastre. The donkey driver, however, bad never before seen a coin of this nature, and looking firat at the guinea, and then at the Emperor, camo to the oonolusion that the guinea was merely a worthless counter, and that an attempt was being made to “ chisel" him. The row ho mode was terrifio ; rushing after the Emperor, who had walked off at a rapid pace toward the hotel, where his suite was anxiously awaiting him, tb« doakey driver assailed His Majuty with all' the most horrible oaths in the Arab vocabulary. The Em peror, who does not understand a single word of Arabic, but saw that the man was laboring under a misapprehension, endea vored in vain to explain to him that the coin was gold and not c.'pper. In the meantime other donkey drivers hurried to the spot, and taking the part of their mate, followed tU ’’emperor with a storm of im- procationv. Thue surrounded by a mob of donkeys and their drivers, the hapless Dom Pedro at last reached his hotel, whore the whole affair was explained, and the donkey drivers, discovering the true stale of the case, miraculously disappeared in the twinkling of an eye.

All attempts to get the Porto to assent to the dictates of the powers, whose representatives assembled at Con stantinople for that purpose, having proved unvailing, and we cannot but admire the pluck displayed by Turkey with, we may say, the whole of Europe roomily, if not actually arrayed against her in refusing to bo dictated to.

We are by no means satisfied that the designs of some of them are limited merely to seeing these reforms carried out or that there is not a something else lurking behind the scene*. We must confess that it would in no way astonish u* to find that one or more of the powers represented at the conference wore playing a double game aud making a •al's paw of the other powers merely to ascertain what amount of support they •ould obtain or what amount of reristancs they would have to meet in case of op«n rupture, and if this ba thsir gam* w« must admit they have been eminently successful in establishing on* fact, at least, that Great Britain will not spend another penny on th* integrity of th* Tnrkish Empire either in Europe or Asia.

The fol lowing i* * verbatim report of the remarks made by Dr. May, of Toronto, with reference to the Centennial banquet when addressing th* Dominion Board of Trade Dr. May said :—Mr. President and Gentlemen,—I am deputed to call upon you this morning with reference to the banquet to be held in this oity. A* many of you ar*aware, tho exhibitors at Philadelphia, at ameeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the further celebration of thevictory they have obtained in taking so many prizes, decided to have a banquet inthis city. Wo have received more award* in proportion to our population than any country in tho world. A preliminary committee was appointed, of which Hon. Mr. Christie, the tipoaker of the Senate is Pre sident. The Committee, considering thefoot that you, as a body, would meet hero on the 19th, have taken no definite action yet. They look upon yon ns the supremebody in matter* commercial in the Domin ion. They look upon it that it would be wrong for us to proceed without invitingyon, as ths most influential commercial body in tho country, to participate in thatbanquet. The object is of eours*. to add a* largely as possible to the importance of this banquet. You are no doubt aware that Canada exhibited three hundred articles inthe manufacturers* department, and most of these have been awarded prizes. In1851 we firat demonstrated to the worldthat w* bad large national resources, and it was admitted then that no exhibit compar ed with Canada’s show of minerals. Weexport every year a large amount m' nun-nfactured goods, but wo import nearly double as much. It remains to be seen if w* cannot get more manufactures established in Canada, and keep that money in tho Dominiou. It will increase our popu lation, bring capitalists among us, and let the world know this is not the few acres ofsnow they thinklt is. In a public meeting held in Leeds lately, it was stated that Ca nada consisted of a frontier line, forty-fivemiles m length, and if it were not for thetrees we would not have any animal life here. Mr. Talmage, who lectured here nfew weeks ago, thought those were state buddings and that Toronto and Montreal formed the principal part of Canada. Wowish to dispel such notions. Wo wjsh toinvito stranger* among us, and especially tho Ceatennial Commissioners. Every Canadian who went to Philadelphia musthave been impressed ’with tho kindness of those gentlenjcu. Wo wish to show that we appreohta that kiudneis that wo fociblood u thicker than water, and that we are the same race os themselves. We want to show them that we can supply oven the United States with our manufactures. lu1876 wo imported into tho Dominion of Canada 195,090 worth of philosophical in struments. During one week since tho exhibition, one firm in this country received an order from the United States for $6,000 worth of such instruments, showing thatwo can compete with thim in their own ruerket. We urge upon yon to assist us incompeting with them. We want you toco-operate with us individually. The Ot tawa Board of Trade fully endorses this scheme; and so does 11 is Toronto Board ofTrade. It is for tho advancement of this country we are working—to assist in get ting amongst us moro population, an] toincrease our manufactures and exports. moment Turkey i* master of the situation, ■he i* aa it srere raiaed on * high piaacl* defying tb* whole of Europe, ber ery is Calves.

There is an increase in the charges for Civil Government and education over 137G and a decrease in legislation, administra tion of justice, immigration, grant* to hos pital and charities, and in misc*lianoous expenditure.

The week had been uneventful, from a political standpoint, until yesterday when Senator Withers mule the day memorable by bis arraigumont of the President for his past and threatened usurpations, and by Mr. Luttrell, <rf California, who, in half a dozen sentence.*, completely demolished the Repub lican leader in the House. . SENATOR WITHERS, OF VIROINI*, called up, as per previous notice, the message of the president in relation to th* occupancy of Petersburg by tioop* on election day, and offered a resolution requesting in quiry in regard to the construction of the law by the President and his Attorney-General in their instructions to United State* Marshal, last September : Mr. Withers followed this resolution by the ablest and most convincing speech that has been heard on the subject. He was especially eloquent and admonitory on the dangers which threaten the country from acelerated stride* cf executive usurp*, lion. Senator Wither* has in » very short time (thia is his second year in the Senate) at tained enviable distinction as a statesman and an orator. It is not often that he n heard in the senate, but no senator examine* mere closely and critically the great political questions of the day, and when he doc* speak, it is with a weight and a conviction that give* proof of thorough study *nd profound earnest- Deadly AmbrII *r * Lonton lh*p Keeper, A deadly assault and robbery occurred on Friday night in London East which has bad few dAral!els hereabouts for brutalferocity. Th* vic tins was a small store keeper named Wm. Dymond. He wasabout to close bis plaoe of business for thenight between ten and eleven o'clock, and was entirely alone. The street* ware nearly all deserted, aud but few people up in tb* village. A stranger of stout build and his face almost covered with a muffler,entered and looked around cautiously, Dymond raid “Good evening," but the other replied “I've a spite against you,"and dashed nt him with a wooden, club which he plied over his head in rapid, andheavy blow*. A desperate struggle ensued,but the ruffian being much th* more powerful man soon overcame Dymond, andafter belaboring him into a state of semi sensibility, produced a gag which he had brought already prepared and tried to putit into his mouth. Dymond roused him self for further resistance, but from the blows upon bis head and the Joss of bloodfrom the wounds which Lad laid open hir skull, was too weak to help hirnself. The gag was placed on him and his limbs weretied when the ruffian t v-k the num of 557 from his person and left the shop. The row attracted no one's attention andafter Dymond recovered his senses andiUems of his legs, lie ran out to s*:tre help. Th* gag was on sc firmly that I ecould not disongajo it rr cry ont, so he knocked nt the ne ghb rs’ d’e-’i It.-reatelv until he at Inst found assistance. Several demanded “ Who’s there from the inside ; but because he could not >p nk and saywhat h* wanted they would not open their door*. Dymond presented a shocking spectacle, being covered with blood. Thestore where tho struggle took place was also found to be clotted orer with the blo< d which had flowed from him. A* roon nspossible Dr. Tnfford was snmmoned and pronounced Dymond’s condition to bo ex tremely critical. His h*ad was coveredwith ghastly wounds. There is not the slightest cluo to th* ruffian’s identity. Several perrons suspected of having S.spit* against Dymond were found to have been in their own beds at the time of th* occurrence. Som* p*r*ons were hbout inthe neighborhood at the time, and reporthaving hoard Dymond's cries at the outsat, but nil becoming still again, they thought nothing of it. The outrage is one of themost fiendish that has ever oceured there, aud there is much excitement over the event. GEO. LALXO. S-,. lana tigtu-pvt family, atiry and *r*a WEEKLY GLOBE, BOSTON, MASS.

Sometimes tha hoge are fad solely on th* whey, and sometimes bran, meal and ship-etuft ar* added. Again, when factories are owned and run by individijele^ and th* whey is made a perquiwfe of tl)e proprietor of the factory the same plan of feeding the whey is adept' •d; but in this css* th* proprietor fnrniah. es the hogs and fits them for market on his own account. Calves are sometimeBraised op whey and other fooden the same plan, and where extra care and good pas turage were an accompaniment, good ani- mala have been thus produced. Th* raising of calves at factories has been advoeaVd by some as more profitable than to feed the whey to swine. In many instances when th* owners or proprietors of lactone* have fed bogs with whey on their own account, and have used br*u and meal liberally in connection with the whey, good, hoary porkers bar* been made at a considerable profit. The only objection to using whey at the factories, in the manner described, is tho danger of contaminating ths air about the factory premises with filthy odors; and when this plau is resorted to— whether the hogs ba owned by patrons or factory managers—attention should bo paid to locating the pens and yards so far away from the factory that thors can bo no possibility of foal odors reaching the pre- ' raises. Tho second plan—and it is quite common in some sections—is wher* the whey is taken away from tho factory by patrons. In such cases tho milk-cans are commonly employe^ for tho purpose, and where pro per caro is taken to clean them carefully and thoroughly, no bad results follow to the milk. Where tho milk-caus aro nsed for carting whey from the factory to tbo farm, stringent rules should be made by the factory manager in regard to tho ckaus- ing of the cans with boiling water. Many persons intrusted with the the washing and cleansing of dairy utensils do not appreciate the advantage of using water tint is boiling hot, since there is no certainty of killiuc the germs of ferment by a lower tempera- ture. Thi* fact should be explained to patrons and those having charge of die dairy utensib, especially during hot weather, and this requirement should bo rigidly enforced. Improperly cleansed cans—whether whey has been carried in them or not—will cause trouble to the milk during hot weather. Wo may remark, however, in this connection, that taints in milk oftrfn occur from causes other than milk-cane, and among tbo most fruitful are the fast driving of cows just before milking —bad water that cows drink—a slovenly manner of milking, etc., etc. When patrons bring bad milk to the factory, tho manager should, of course, exclude it from tho vats, Lui ho should at tho same time inquire into all the circumstances of its production and endcavoHo set tbo patron on tho right track as to tho cause. In most of the factories of Now York, milk is taken to the factory twice a day; but where necessary appliances and caro aro had for keeping milk sound at the farm, the “over a.-day plan" can bo adopted with success. In Now York tho dairies ate often quite large, ranging say from 40 to 70 cows, and sometimes more. In such dairies tbo patrons generally prefer fo cart the milk twice a day. The manufacturer is often employed to make side of tho cheese. Tfhe plan that gives best satisfaction is to sdcct the best salesman to sell. If Ute manuf.icthror has good capacity in this direction, it is well to entrust the business Co his hands. It is an important matter tu have a competent salesman—one who keeps well posted as to the market* ; a man of good judgment who can calculate pretty accurately whouit is bast to sell and when best to hold goods. Those qualifications, with strict integrity, will give satiefaction. A* a rule, wo think the manufacturer is not employed os sales man, though ho frequently acts in that capacity. Tho man who known how to make tbo best sale* will generally give the mart satisfaction. In regard to th* responsibility of tho proprietor to pstrnns for qu Jity of cbocso produced, that, of course depends, in a groat measure, on a variety of circum stances. If patrons deliver poor bad milk the manufacturer ought not to bo expected to. make good eheese, or else retire and let some Other person occupy bis place. If a manufacturer contracts to make good cheese and fails to do so, of coarse ho is held responsible for damaged goods un less bocaa show he is notat fault. When patrons are careless and are deliv ering bad or imperfect milk, it is a good plan for a factory manager to appoint a day of meeting and to call all bis patrons to- gather. Then lot him state the.case plain ly and kindly, show the impossibility of making a first-class product from bad ma- I tonal, state the loss tkat is being sustained, and urge a reformation.

How is the whey generally c^apoeed 2. Has once or twice a day been found tho best for drawing milk ? 8. When the. proprietor takes the lead in th® manufacturing of the cheese, is it usual for him to he salesman ? or would bls being so generally give satisfaction ? 4. How far is the proprietor responsible to tho patroiu for the quality of the cheese T 5. What means are taken to secure a good class of milk, especially from careless patrons t The question on Whoy is what is agitst- ing the patrons at present. My arrangement with my patrons has been to charge IJc. V lb for tasking and curing the cheese ready for boxing, the patrons delivering the milk, boxing,Uauliuc to tbo station, selling tho cheese, and re- osiviog and dividing the money, and, until thia year, taking home tho whoy iu the xnUk cans, which was found vory’ conve- Dient, exerpt^be big loads of, say,.20 cans, when a load each way, tho roads not being good, was thought hard on the horse*. But the pa*t summer, as early a*^ tho middle of May, the cheese acted badly, showing the preserce of tainted milk'; and . thinking that whey in the milk caws would Meet it, for tbo last three months whey was completely banished from the cans, Leing sent home in separata vessels, and Ly rejecting milk with a Strong odor, we bad very good cheese and obtained the ^^^M nrig^in this section. Still, as tho and I know, just as good -jUMJ^^^Baade for the five years pre- whey drawn ia tho cans ; patrons all want the tahey It^^Bnd on the big loads they cannot car- ry j^phla cans, and keeping hogs round a tsetory is difficult as the ground is very flat; I would, therefore, be glad to know what is the usual practice with yoh, and if the smell qf the whey in cans would not be apt to .deoeivo on* by covering the amell of taint on the milk, or I* there any Utter test for taint than small f Tho other questions will, I think, explain themselves.

CHAPTER II, ^^^gfaE^llTH the night, passed the storm which had rendered ***° fbkomy, and the fair1 TtCftF* cold day shone upon a world shrouded in icy cerements ; a hushed windless world, as full of glittering rimo- rnnes as tta frozen fields of Jotuuhcim. Each tree and shrub seemod a springingfountain, ftuddeuly clirystallixed iu mid-air,usd not all tho medieval marvel* of Mar- tta pastor bravely oast aratmd the absent woman the broad soft ermine of his tender charity.* Haanah, if yoar inrimiattone point to the lady who called taro tesi night, I caneasily explain the msniaioas fact of the handkerchief, which eortAinlv belongs to visitor having raised ibut window and loan ed out for frosh air, doubties* dropped her tand'terchiaf, without observing the loss.*___________________________________ 'Dj the initials ’GO’ reproient her row equalled in tta'fairy fragile’trarary "rf J »*»» ?’ “hod Mrs. Lindsay, whosa adroit- ftno-spnn glassy web, and film and fringe J iy propounded interrogatories tbs previousevening hod elicited not eatisfactory in formation. ’ Do not ladies generally stamp ttatrown monograms when marking articles that compose their wardrobes ?’ He pat the unlucky piece of cambric in his pockut.and pertinacious Hannah suddenly stooped and dealt Bioru a blow, which aotonisbed the spectators even more than ths yelpingrecipient, who dropped something at her feet and crawled behind his master. ' You horrid greedy pest I Are you inleague with the*thieves, that you must needs try ta devour the signs and tell-tales they dropped iu the track of their dirtywork ? It is only a glove this lime, sir. and it was all crnmpled, just so, where I first saw it, when I ran out to Lunt footprints.It was hanging on Die end of a row-bush, yonder near the snowball, and you see it was rather too far from the window here tohave fallen down with the handkerchief. Look. Miss Rlise—j nur hands are small— bnt this would pinch even yoar fingers?She triumptantly lifted e lady's kid 1 glove, brown it) color and garnished with three small oval silver bullous ; the exact 'mate of one which Mr. Hargrove had noticed the previous evening, when the visitor held up the ring for his inspection. Exulting in the unanswerable logic of thislatest fact, Hannah anile unintentionally :gave the glove a tcornful toss, which reused it to fall into the fi eplace, and d. wo be- i tween two oak logs, wnere it shrivelled instantaneously. Uufor niantly, science i« ' not cbivalric, and divulges the uusiui iVlo 1 and ungraceful troth, that perverted f mule natures from even tta lower beastly types are more implacably vindictive, moresubtly malicious, more ingenious'y crua’ than the «trouger sex ; snd when a woman essays to track, to capture, er to punish— vcb victit.

Do aurpr s >« gravitate Into groups, or are certain facie binary ?Sometimes for a quarter of a century the sluggish stream of life oases by, bearing nohint of d • l«, or faces, that perchance shodglory, or perhaps tent gtoom to the far post—a past wall-nigh forgotten and innm- s I iu ths «a h -ring gray of time—and suddenly, v it .out permonition, tho slow monotouem currant ripples and swells into waves that bear to onr feet fateful counten- 1ances, unwelcome aa grave-ghouls—and the 1World grows garruhui of incidents that 1 once m Jie galvanize the shrouded By-gone. 1For four ye ire the minister bad received no tidings of th «e whom he ba 1 so reluotan:- ly joined in ihe bond < of wedlock, and not jeven a reminiscence of that singular bridal < party bad floated into his quiet parsonage J study; but within twenty-four hours heseemed destined to garner a plentiful har vest of disagree »ble data for future speculation. Ho had not yet reached his lawyer'soffice, when bearing his name pronounced vociferously, Dr. Hargrove looked around : and saw the postmaster standing in hisdoor, and sail on him to cuter. * Pardon rue, my dear sir, for chortling after you, so unceremoniously, but I sawyou were not coming in, and know it would promote your interest to pay mo a visit.Fine day at last, after all the rain endmurky weather.

How much will you give for a tetter that has travelled ba’farou id tl.a w rid, and had as many adven tures at Robinson Crutoe or Madame Pf iffer?’He tcok from a drawer a dingy and much-defaced envelope, whose address was rather indistinct from having encountereda bath on its journey? ‘ Are you sure that it is for me 7’ asked the minister, trying to decipher the uncertain characters. ‘Arethere two ot your name?

If yon my dear sir* are a Alber (and I hope you are), paternal sympathywill enable you to realise proximately the grief, indignation, almost despairing rage into which I was plunged. Having Informed myself, through a special agent sent to the University, of the utter unwonbineasand disreputable character of the connect ion forced upon me, I telegraphed to Cuth bert, alleging rm e extraneous cause forrequiring bis presence. Three days after his arrival at homi I extorted a fall confession from him—aud we were soon upon the Atlantic. For a tints I feared that inebriation had seriously impaired his intellect, but, thank God I temperate habits and a good constitution finally prevailed, andwhen a year after we loft America, Cuth bert realized all that ho had hazarded dur ing his temporary insanity, ho was so overwhelmed with mortification and horror tuat ho threatened to destroy himself.Satisfied that he was mure ’sinned against than sinuing? I yet endeavored to deal justly with the unprincipled authors of thoetaiu upon my family, and employed a discreet agent to negotiate with them,and to try to affect some compromise. Ttaold woman wont out to California, the yoang one refused all overtures, end for a lima dissappeared, bnt as I am reliably informed, is now living in New York, sup ported no one knows—exactly—by whom. Recently she made an imperious demau'ifor the recognition of a child, who. she de clares, stall one day inherit tho Laurence estate, but I have ceitain facta in my p s-sessiou which invalidate ihuclaim, aud if necessary can produce a certificate to prove tnat the birth of tho cluld occurred o ilyseven months after tho data of tUe cere mony which site contends made her Cuth bert's wife. She rejects the abuudaut pecuniary provision which has been repeated ly offered,and inherksamperumentanlin- sancly abusive commuuication, threatens asuit to force the acknowledgement of the marriage, and of (he child ; —stating that you ,«ir, hold the certificate or rather tholicense warranting the marriage, aud ttat you will espouse and aid in prosecuting heriniquitous claims. My sdn is new a reform ed and comparatively happy man, but should this dsgrading and bitterly repented epivipe bo thrust before tho public, and allowed to blacken tho fair escutcheon we are so jealously anxious to protect, I dreadlite consequences. Only horror ol a notor ious scandal prevented mo long ago from applying for a divorce which couldvery easily have been obtained, but wo shriek from the publicity, and moreover tho case docs not seem to dam*ud compliance with even tho ordinary forms oflaw. Belejving that you, my dear air, would not avow yourseifparlicept criminiein so uijiia aud vile a c.n a io against th' peace and honor of my family, were you acquainted with the facte, I have taken the liberty of writing you this brief and incomplete returns of tta outrage* perpttrated upon me aud mine, aud must re er you for disgraceful details to my agent, Mr. PolegPeterson, of Whitefield, —— Co., —.

On the steps of the altar wen a number of china pots containing rose and applegeraniums io full bloom, and one luxuriant Grand Duka jasmine all starred withcreamy flowcra, so flooded the plans with fragrance, that it seemed as if the vast la- boratery of floral aromas had bean suddenly unsealed. Upon the stone pavement immediately4nfront of the altar sat a little figure sol Mo tionless, that a easaal glance would pro bably have inclnded It among the oonsecrat-ed and permanent Images of the silent sanotairytta figure of a child whose agecould not have bgsn accurately co tn pu tod from the inspeatioa of the countenance, which indexed a degree of grave suatnr* wislom wholly incompatible with t’ • heig ftof the body and the aise of the limbs. If devotional promptings had broughther to the Nun’s Chapel, her crisons had been concluded for she bad turned her back upon the altar, and sat gazing sorrowfully.down at tar Igp wh»re lay iu paihetio pott a white rabbit and a snowy pigoou—both dead—quite stark and cold—laid out instate upon tho spotless linen apron, around which a fluted ruffle ran orisp and smooth. One tiny waxen baud held a broken lily,and the other was vainly pressed upon the lids of the rabbit’s eyes, trying to close lov ingly the pink orbs that now stared so distressingly through glazing film. The first passionate burst of grief had spent its forcein the tears that left the velvety cheeks andchin as dewy m rain-washed root leaves, white not a trace of moisture dimmed thelargo eyes that wore a proud, defiant, and muoh injured look, as though resentment were straugling sorrow.Unto whom or what shall I liken this fair, tender childish free, which had in ttanarrow space of ten years gathered suob perfection of outline, such unearthly purity of colour, snob winsome grace, such oom>plex expressions? Probably amid ths fig and olive groves of Toscany, Fra Bartolo meo found just such an incarnation of theaugelio ideal, which • he afterward placed, for the admiration of sueoMding generations in the winged heads that glorify the Ifa-donna delltt Mitericordia. Tho stipple of time dots so lightly, so slowly that nt tlio age of ten, a human countenance shouldpresent a mere fleshy tabula rata, but now and then we aro startled by meeting a child as unlike tho round, rosy, pulpy,dimpling, unwritten faces of ordinary life, as the cherubs of Raphael, to the rigid forms of Byzantine mosaics, or tho stoneportraiture of Copan. Aa she sat there, in the golden radiance of ths summer noon, she presented an almost faulllsM specimen of a type of btautythat is rarely found now-a-day, that has al ways been peculiar, and bide fair to become extinct. A complexion of dazzling white-new and transpsransy, rendered more in- t»n«*lv pure by contrast with luxuriant silky hair of deepest black—and larps■>>n-Tblv shaped eyes of clear, dark steelblue, almost violet in bus— with delicately arohe 1 brows and very long bshos of that unrplisb black tint which only the trite andoft-borrowed plumes of ravens adequately illustrate. The forehead was not ramark- able for height, but was peculiarly broadand full, with unusual width between the eyes; and if Strato were oorreot in'1 his speculations with reference to Psyche’sthrone, then, verily, my little girl did not oromp her soul in its fl ishy palace. Daint ily moulded in figure and face, every feature instinct with a certain delicate p itri- einnistn, that testified to genuine ‘blue blood,* there was withtl a malting tender-new about the ported lips that so'toned the regal contour of one who, amid tta un ^r- sal catalogue of feminine unines, couldnwer have appropriately called other than Begins. Over in the n*w chap,! acraxs the court,where tho sacristan had opt-n d two of ita crimson and green win lows that m w light ed tho gilt altar as with sacrificial fire, andnow drenched it with o wl bsryl tints that extinguished the flames—-a low murmur becatno audible, swslling and rising uponth» air, until the thunder-throated organfilled all the dnisterld recedes with re sponsive echoes of Roiuiini. Some master ly hand played the Btaitalivo of ‘Eia Mater,’ bringing oat tho bau with power ful emphasis, and concluding with the fullstrains of tho shorn*then the organ tones sank into solemn minor chords indescribably plaintive, and after a while aquartette of clrar voices sang tho ba canid do it no good, and I thought I would try our Blessed I>ady over hero, be- eausa ths Nun’s Chaps! seems bolter thanours, but it is so uss.

In no other way can n person get back so largo a profit for u very little money, as to expend it in learning what to do, when to do it, and how to do it—in other words, to have his brains help his han Is. Hero is one way to do this : Tho small saving or extra production of less than half a cent a day, or 3 cents a week, will now procure a largo cheap Journal, for all of 1377, splendidly illustrated, with over C03 fine original Engravings, and over a thous and columns of tho very best, plain, prac tical, trustworthy information about the overy.day in-door and oat-door work and comfort of every home, in country. Tillage, and city. This information is not prepar ed by mere acribblon, but by a large force of intelligent min and womm, who know what they write about, and they are as sisted by many others, who furnish infor mation from their own prartiee and obser vation. Such* Journal is tbs American Agricuturitt, so named because started about 85 year* ago as * rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and improved tosuit the daily want* of everyman woman, or child, in City, Country, and Village— for tho Former and Gardener, the Merchant and Mechanic, the Professional Man, —indeed, all clrosee. It is packed full of useful information that every one ought tohave. Many single hints and suggestions will repay more than a whole year's costof the paper. Its original engraved plansfor buildings and improvements, with de tails of cost, etc., and common sense dir ectiona, are worth far mor* than a majorityot the costly works on architecture. Great care is excercised to have every line in thepaper reliable.

The following ha* been my experience. A friend of mine gave me abird that had not snug for over a year. Itreated it a* follow*: Canary birds, fie well as all other kindsof " Unman birds," must have a variety in their food. I put in one seed cup oat meal, in another, seed mixed as follow* Onopound canary, and one-half pound rape seeds, putting on tha top of this seed cup about one dozen hemp seeds daily, andpart of the time leaving out the hemp andgiving a little good fresh lettuce seed, say 20 or 40 Meds daily, not too much, or itwill make the bird drunk and dampish. Hang also in tbe cage a nice piece of salt pork as welt ns n good cuttle bone. Aftertreating tho bird in this way, for three or four weeks, I procured another canary, a fine free songster, and hung it in the hear-lug font out of sight of my bird, and in a very short time I had as good a singer as I could wish. He has sung ever since, through molting and all. Most people areafraid of getting their birds in too good condition, bnt remember that you must not get them fat on beiun seed for that seedis their candy and cake. C. H.
