But at laatdhe day they chased fe bear to the topdf* mountain, fiyjn-which they got their first viewofShe ▼tHXgee and homesteads, and ipen tiU the soil. So they determined to explore the new land which lay before them, and to make «c----quintance with the way* of civilized men. The first man they met strongly recommended them to go buck to their forest home, but they paid no attention to him. The next passer-by was a pilgrim, who sang, ah be went, ado leful shag, the burden of which was: I roamed all over Russia, groans the moujik sad From hunger he moans, from huqg«; > From Sbldjbe grpaqp, from ookl. 4 £ . Hearing this, the brothers took counsel together and resolved. to separate for a time and travel in different directions, and then Vo come together again and oontpare their accounts, so as to find out where men llvs most comfortably. •One of them, Iran, went northward- Coming to a village he was surprised to find the peasants hard at work beneath a blazing sun, while a landed proprietor was look-, ing lazily on. Venturing 6n an expostulation, all that he guinea was a flagging, whereby-“he at length understood that laws mean this, that the rich man may bully tge poor, and the poor man must pat up wills everything and always bold his peace, -and grovel, moreover, as 'the other’s feet.” A little latex he was told by an pld man, with whom he drank, all about the peasants; how they were serfs until they were freed by the Czar, *and how arbiters were appointed from among the gentry, who gave only bad land to the peasants, ana called in soldiers ’to shoot them if they complained. Musing on all this, Ivan went further. “ Many villages and towns did he visit; everywhere was life bitter to the peasant ana the workman." At last he witnessed a case of such oppression on the part of a village elder that the peasants mutinied. The police came, and seized Ivan es a ringleader, and he was sent to Siberia. Meanwhile the second brother, Stepan, had gone south. There one day he found an official arbiter attempting to force some villagers to accept the worthless land he wished to allot to them as their share. As ■they refused to agree, the arbiter called in soldiers, who attacked the people. In the tight which ensued a young soldier killed hi? father. Horror-stnick at the sight of the old man’s blood;-the soldier turned and slew the arbiter whose orders had brought about she ’ parricidal deed! The other soldiers were then beaten off by ithe villagers, whom Stepan proceeded to lharangue, saying that the sdldiers ought to make common cause with the people, and all Russia ought to rise in simultaneous rebellion, and not go trusting to the Czar. “It seems to pad * shame that so many millions of men should be able to ■do nothing else for themselves, but should go on trusting in some one'else.” But the peasants merely replied: 11 We’ll hand vjou over to the authorities foreuch apeeches.” And at last they dideo, and Stepan was sentto Siberia as a rebel. The third brother, Dernian, had visited the cities of Eastern Russia, and there worked hard. But, however much he toiled, he never could do more than barely support ••existence. Money he could fey no means acquire, for the employers of labor .kept it all for themselves. One day he was present when some villagers refused to pay their faxes, saying they were too poor to do so.” A priest was sent for, who urged them to obey the authorities, whereupon .Dernian argued the point with him, and the result Was that he also was sent to Si-; beria. Thither also; about the sameftime, was the' fourth brother sent He had, besu »p delighted by the sightof a tnGnasS, with-its White walls, and green roofs, glided domes, rising amid trees on a ; .cliff above i river, and so struck by the interior in whfefe pilgrim? knsltjknd monks sang, and taper* hnrned, :aud iaceifse Wiofed, that hduaked leave ito fivelndt as a servaflt,- thinking it a kind •of sacred paradise.

Fees to Watters.

Onb of the pustoius which got wjdsy extended through the inflation period, ssmnraiii&iMs of feeing waiters ttAg&faer pihg” the'S&iltth Say. This is a European habltVana'ls'a relic of the days of universal serfdom, when the servant was held incapable of making a contract, but was-given What the gentry pleased to toss'him. It i* ' preserved in England and On the Continent as a mark of of inferior caste between the menial class and those ahoVft mem. - In this country, it has been introdfrold to Suit the factions of the gilded youth whose chief recreation Is to “ sling money” idiotically, and who have no scruples against monopolizing all the public conveniences, When it can be done by a judicious distribution of greenbacks.

There are four parties Interested in this offense, one of them cheating, all the others cheated. First, there is the party who bestows the fee. He asks especial favors of another man's hireling, whose business it is to serve the whole public with equal fidelity. Then there is the menial who gets the fee—he is the first one who is chested. It is no kindness to him to bestow fees habitually upon him. When any position becomes valuable to the occnpant on account of the fees which accrue to him, his wages fall in like proportion, or he has to pay such sums for the appointment as greatly to reduce the profits. A ho-tel-waiter’s wages, for instance, range very low, if he is in a position to get feed; knd Sheriff O’Brien, who took thousands of dollars in legal fees, protested that it cost bin oil of his revenues to keep himself in office and pay his political assessments. The poareet-paid waiters in the civiljzed world are those on the Continent, who are paid entirely by fees. Third and fourth, the employer of the labor and the public who do not pay fees are alike deprived of services which belong to them, when feeing is so irregular as not to be the universally-observed custom. ** The subject has lately been much discussed in the public column of the London Telegraph, where these facts are illustrated, A “retired writer’’ complains tnat he received only twelve shillings a' week wages, but fails to see that it is the very practice of “tipping” that keeps his wages so low. A hair dresser Objects to it from the employer's point of view and hat of tne non-feeing public. It is an unAmerican custom which has got too strong a foottiold in this country. There is no knowing how,soon it will creep in‘o the domestic service, when visitors in families will foe expected to remember the house-servadts with “ trinkgeld,” as is the odious custom in Germany.— Springfield (Mast.) Republican.

Early and Clean Culture Makes the Corn Crop.

To nnnwm a good crop, com must have a good start. As our farms get older and the soil loses its friability by producing a succession of cereal crops, it becomes the more necessary that the corn, especially, shoikld have early and constant cultivation until it arriyes at such maturity as to secure its own protection from wfeeds by shading the ground. Land pot continually renewed by the production of the grasses or by the, application of an abundance of manure, leaves the crop an easy prey to insects and to all the adverse circumstances of too much rain to drown it, or tong continued Beason* of drought to parch the ground and cut short the yield of com. Underdrainage seems to be one of the great needs of the country, as is demonstrated at some portion of almost every year, but as this cannot be dope in a day the farmer must leave it for some future convenience, and must bestow more labor in the cultivation of his crops to secure,' tbe-best results, than would be required to: ptem the-^water level” at the desired' distance beneath the surface of event acre j of his farm, iu the proper use of tile. 1 Much rain has fallen in many lections of the com latitude, which will leave the ground in various degrees of cdmpactnees, and unless fanners use considerable judgment and perseverance in the management of the soil, it will, before they are aware of it, obtain that “baked” condition, from which it is no easy matter to reduce it to that condition which shall promote the best growth of the crop. It does not pay to wait until the corn is •large enough to plow, but by the time it aeaches that Bize, at which our “ fathers ” began the process of cultivation, the soil should be so clean, pulverized and packed, that the process oi securing the best poesi•ble yield will be more than naif performed, j The rudest and most simply constructed implements, improvised by a skillful farmer, will do more rapid and effectual work than tho best finished and most expensive machinery, very many times, iand it stands the farmer in hand, when the work has been delayed for anj reason, to use a little judgment in the. construction of such implements. If a roller is not at hand, some other kind of a “clod-crusher” may be easily constructed, for clods are a great hindrance, and should not be tolerated on any farm. Where jhe ground gets so firm as not to be sufficiently disturbed by the use of a harrow or properly-constructed brash, iij as important that the cultivator is run! astride the rows, before the corn comes j up, which leaves the land in a ridged' state. It should be left in this condition j until the corn is about to make its appear- 1 ance, when, if thesoil is sufficiently mel- j low,a brush may be used across the: .ridges. If cloddy,.a heavy slab or fiat ; log drawn in line .with the rows will perhaps do better execution. Hitch underneath the front e4ge of'the “crusher,” that it may override.the clod. If .4 brush is used, contract it by using a pole of proper thickness, about twelve feet.in length. Bose inch and one-half hole*, sixteen inches .Rpart, and insert crab,apple bushes large enough so that when the tops are crowded together they will form a compact mass. With a stiff plank placed the whole length for the driver ito stand upon, and a span of horses attached to each end of ithe pole, with the heads of the-inside oneeamited by a hitch strab of proper length, thd “ machine" is ready far rapid and effectual work. It is impdltwri that the work he done rapidly, for jt the sweather is wans ithe. corn will not wfeßT If the rowjl are distinctly seen in a few days after tne operation, it will be but “ boy’s play” to cultivate a crop of cogs. Where the soil Is sufficiently mellow, the hirnfw will efffecttiaHy subdue (he ioxmg weeds and leave the corn in good condition. If the roller has been amply used, a good square harrow may be used to excellent advantage until the corn is large enough to plow. Don’t be alarmed about tearing out the corn, if muck damage is being done to the weeds just startnig. la fact, it tickles the ground in such a manner that it will laugh with a largely increased and abundant harvest.

Varnishing. —Before any article is varnished, it should be thoroughly cleansed from all grease spots with plenty of not water, soap and soda, which must bf. well washed off. It is also essential that the article to be operated upon should be perfectly dry. • TrvjSweeping Carpets. Tea leaves, moistened, are often used for sweeping and cleansing carpets; but bits of newspaper, nicely wetted and thrown over the floor, are equally effective, and generally more easily to be had when desired. They keep down dust and are cleansing. The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says: In sowing dower seeds great difficulty is often experienced in getting them to come up well, especially is this i the case if it continues dry after they are sown. The seeds are so small that they must not be covered deeply, and if the weather is dry the surface soil quickly dries and the seeds fail to germinate. The difficulty may be easily remedied by spreading newspapers over the beds as soon as the seeds are sown, and allowing them to remain till the young plants begin to break through the ground. The paper keeps the ground moist and warm, by preventing the evaporation of moisture, and the plants come up much sooner than they would in the mostfavorable weather when uncovered. Seeds sown in freshly-spaded earth and covered in this manner will readily germinate in the driest weather. Strawberry Jam Allow three-fourths of a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Braise the berries slightly, and put them into a preserving kettle to cook. Stir frequently to prevent burning and let boil for half an hour. Add the sugar and boil for twenty minutes or half an hour. Skim thoroughly and put, while boiling hot, into jars—self-sealing, if you have them, or if not, put branched papers on the top of the jam; dip soft paper into the white of egg, and with it cover the tops of the jars, pressing It down thoroughly, so that the air cturnot penetrate. If the jars are glass, set them in a cool, dark place, or wrap two or three thicknesses of paper around them to exclude the light, as the action of it affects fruit, especially strawberries, causing them to ferment and lose color. The addition of a little red-currant juice to the jam improves the flavor. Roil it with the berries before addiag the su gar.—Exchange.

Keep the Plow Going.

AMONGt fee many valuable lessons which the late severe urougbt tu California b*s probably taught the farmers of that State, none will prove more useful than -that of the importance of deep and thorough culture. We read of one instance where a man has Host his entire crop of wlieat, with the bare exception of ten acres, which were plowed twice before sowing, while the others were plowed only once. Now, we have long claimed that if the soil is worked deep enough and finely pulverised, it will lake a very severe drought to prevent it from maturing a crop. The yield may be lessened by a drought, but a total failure would be something very unusual on soil that had been stirred by a plow sixteen to twenty inehesdeep. To woik soil to such death is certainly an expensive operation; but what at this, so long as a proportionate return is obtained. To make “ two blades of grass grow whore one grew before” is the aim, or should be, of eveiy good farmer; and if ten .acres can be made, through deep culture, to yield as much as twenty by themsiial systems of shallow plowing, there must be again equal to the cost of the extra ten acres. When we hear accounts of ctops of strawberries of (from 800 to 400 bushels per acre, we may rest assured that no four-inch plowing of the land was considered satisfactory, or even practiced, 'lhe largest cpflP we ever saw of. this fruit was u)>om a rather stiff loath,which had been worked over to the depth of two feet, and manured liberally throughout Dry weather In summer had little" dr no effect' fi))dn this land, for it was a gigantic sponge, holding a certain amount of moisture, and ho more. *

Home farmers seem to be averse, Dot .only to plowing deep, but often. If the ground is wet, tfeev.at once tell you that it is not good to wook over land when,it is in this condition; when it is vety dry, they are always afraid of making it dryer by stirring, and between these two conditions there are fear opportunities of plowing land.when it is just right. Perhaps this is one reason why some only, >plpw Oat or cultivate sod hoe their com and potatoes once, while a few fanners never put a hoe into the. held, considering that to run through the young plants with a cultivator, or double-mola board plow, is quite sufficient It is no wonder that the average yield of corn in some States noted foi their rich soils does not reach twenty bushels per acre, while .those fanners who practice thorough and deep culture obtain seventy-five to one hundned bushels, with no better foundation to build upon than those Who' seldom get store thun ten to fifteen. The season toy. cultivating crops is at hand, and we sag, Keep the plow and cultivator going among the rows, and do not be afraja of letting 4a the air, or allowing the moisture to esca'pe through frequent stirring. > - if ir ' , Another objection to working among com and potatoes after the plants have reached a good size is, that there is danger of cutting off, pr at least disturbing,, the large lateral roots; but the injnry, if any should be done, which is not at all probable where a cultivator or horse-hoe is used, will be more than made good by the beneficial effect of stirring the soil. It is m> edßy to test the effect of frequent culture ot growing crops, that it is somewhat singular that more experiments are not made, in that direction. We once had a neighbor who never failed v 6 raise an excellent crop of beets and cabbages, and who attributed his success to transplanting the first and hoeing the latter twice a weefc for the first month after the plants were set out. Of course, where frequent and thorough culture d practiced, no weeds get large enough to beooqae troublesome; and this alone will fully compensate for the extra labor of going over the field a greater number of times. Let those who have been troubled with noxious weeds heretofore, try beginning early, and then going through their, corn, potatoes and similar crops often; then see if it does hot prove to be the best and moat economical system of culture^—JT.

The Immense preesure of 188 (triage (which has heretofore been concent rated upon one end of Urn sounding-board, greatly obstructing Its vibration ai.d causing the board to settle) la, by the nse of the linear bridge, equally distributed oVer tee entire length of the sounding-board, greatly Increasing the quality of power aud tone, and also tee strength and durability of the piano. It Ie confidently bettered and remarked by the beet judges, who have carefully observed the balancing pressure of the strings, both upon tho Iron frame and (ouuillng-hoard, teat these pianos. Instead of being old at eight years, will lasts lifetime, and keep In tune at one-quarter the expense of any other piano. My the use of the linear bridge, the cotti|>any obtained over one foot more In length of bridge In the coiibrl ihaMi found In tea fnll-sue pianos with the old scab s. It funs (he whole length of the sounding-board, crossing tiro grain of tee wood-fYlibh Is Indispensable to a uniform tone) and gives equal disirlbullon of the strings with much greater spaee to each string upon the bridge, also equal premure on the soundingbuard through lta entire length. Imparting to It the greatest possible capacity or vibration—producing at once the moat anioulshlug power, richness and depth or tone, wlib an Inspiring singing quality that cannot be equalled by any other scale. The iron frame la entirely new and novel, moat substantial In lta construction, pith three cross bars, rendering It Impregnable to shy pressure ever brought Iu bear upuu it. t The frame extends with Increased thickness of plate otw the wrcst-plsnk. Into tkiaextension are drilled the holes lo receive the bushing for the tunlng plns. These bushings are a patent, held and vied only by this company, and are made (by machine In Its factory) of hard maple plank (selected with great Cere for its souudness! ana are then forced into lta holes drilled to receive them. They are teen ready to receive the tuning-pins, which, when once pi seed, are literally held lu a grasp or iron, and tbefe la now SO chance tor the action of the atmosphere to lengthen or com tract the strings (as In the case when the pins are inserted In the wood frame i and yet they have all tbg advantage ofayrood bearing, and the pin la firmly held to the very point at which the string takes bold. This la one of the reasons why those pianos require bat one-fourth of the tnnlng necessary tor others. There Is a greater length of strings through all tee treble and middle notes of the Mathushek piano than any othcr.glvtng greater volume of tone, In proportion to the length of strings, while the Into chord with tell Increase of tone in other puts by the use of the linear bridge. The bridge for Urn boss notes on the SqnaUrtng scale has a spsce on the sounding-board remote l._jm the treble bridge; while all tee strings throughout the entire scale are to distributed teat each note has the beet possible arrangement tor uninterrupted vibration. A little knowledge of tee philosophy of the subject .hows this to be a very Important arrangement A distinguished Professor defines music*] tone to be the result of uninterrupted vibration, and the noise tile result of Interrupted vibration. . Now, if the bass strings of the plsuu vibrate lflO In aseoond. while the treble string* vibrate SUO times In a second, these strings caneea oufrespondlhg vibration of the sounding board at the point where they cross the bridge; and If they take plsce.close together, as by the curved bridges, the result Is an Interrupted vibration, both tones running Into one, as the. circles wheaeeveral pebbles are-thrown Into stHl water. A comparison or the two systems will show the advantage derived from the nse of tee linear bridge, and the subject is worthy of carefal attention. Never before has any piano been subjected to soch dose criticism and severe teste by friends and foes. The scales, being radically different front any other, so ingenious In the construction and producing such wondeiful power and parity of tone, has attracted the attention and admiration of mechanics, philosophers and musical critics, and it haateerefore been looked upon as an innovation by manufacturers and dealers in other pianos, who, being unable to Bid ta It any weak points for assault, have endeavored to storm It by unjtmt 'assertions.
