13 THE SOUTHERN WORLD, AUGUST 1,1882. The Uray Head by (he Hearth. A private letter from a lady who is spend ing the year among the peasants of the Ty rol, says: ‘'The morning after our arrival we were wakened by the sound of a violin and flutes under the window, and, hurry ing down, found the little house adorned as for a feast; garlands over the door and wreathing a high chair which was set in state. "The tables 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 otT degree; they were simple, for the donors were poor, knit ted 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 house?” I asked •the landlord. "Ah, nein ! ” he said, “We do not make such a bother about young people. It is grandmother’s birthday." “The grandmother, "in her spectacles, white apron and high velvet cap, was a her- orine all day, sitting in state to receive visits and dealing out slices from a sweet loaf to all who came. I could not but remember certain grandmothers at home, just as much loved as she, probably, but whose dull, sad lives were never brightened by any such gust of pleasure as this; aud I thought we could learn much from these poor moun taineers.” We remember a 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 •tranquill old age. That room was the cen tre of the great mansion ; no guests 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 marked, with genuine reverence for age was incalcuable for good. The new generation is apt to be intolerant of those who are leaving the stage; apt, too, to slight their experience and opin ions. If they do not And their parents hon oring age, whore will they learn to honor them ? How Hints r.cnrn to .Sing. A wren built her nest in a box on a New Jersey farm. The occupants of the farm house saw the mother teaching her young to sing. She sat in front of them and sang her whole song very distinctly. One of the young attempted to im'tate her. After pro ceeding through a few notes its voice broke and it lost the tune. The mother recom menced where the young one had failed, and went very distinctly through with the remainder. The young bird made a second attempt, commencing where it had ceased before, and continuing the song as long as it was able and when the notes were again lost the mother began again where it had stopped and completed it. Then the young one resumed the tune and finished it. This done, the mother sang over the whole series of notes the second time with great precis ion, and again the young one attempted to follow her. Tho wren pursued the same course with this one as with the first and so with the third and fourth. This was repeated day after day, and several times a day, until each of the birds became a perfect songster. —Holden's Bird Magazine. Otm YOUNW FOLKS’ LKTTEIMIOX. Nbab Fayette, Miss. Dear Aunt Fanny—Will you welcome me to your heart and column? If su, I ahull esteem It as an honor, and you will ever be remembered kindly tor dopig so. 'My father was killed In Louisiana by a hidden po litical foe, In November, 1870. After his death,we came to live with our kind grandparents; mamma and wo live children, live with grandpa, on a large plantation, situated six miles from Fayette, Missis sippi. Our dear grandmother has been dead more than two years, and we still miss her sadly. You see uiy young life has nut been without sorrow. I was 13 on the 31st day of last October, but did not cele brate my birthday. I have never been to school away from home, but Aunt Laura teaches us regu larly at home. Our music and studies occupy six hours dally, and we are fond of studying. The names of my studies are-readlngs In Nature’s Book, De- Wolf's Speller with dictation exercises. Scholar's Companion, Sainton's Complete Course of Geogra- phy, History of France, lluackenbos’ Grammar, Fa miliar Science, Higher Lessons In English, and Da vies’University Arithmetic. I have been through my grammar and composition and am reviewing both; I am ciphering In Arithmetical Progression, and can work the examples without assistance; arithmetic Is my favorite study, and mathematics Is said to be my forte. I sing and play eight songs upon the piano, and play a great many Instrumental pieces. Aunt Laura and I play a number of duetts, some of which are fourteen pages long; SilveirJVaves. Tramway Galop, When the Day with llosy Light, and new arrange ment of Hunter’s Chorus andO Dolce Concento, are the names of our lougest duetts - Aunt Lura plays prlmoand I play seconds in the most difficult ones; in my songs I sing soprano and Aunt Laura sings alto. I practice In the Musical Curriculum by Boot, and thhik It Is a good Instruction book. Our June peoebes are all gone, but we have some nice tigs, and the July peachesarebeginning to ripen. We had a good rain to-day for the first time In six weeks; the drought has been quite detrimental to crops, and the farmers are feeling quite discouraged ; I trust the ruin Is not too late for their corn, (It cer tainly Is not too late for their cotton,) and that a Wise Father will send more ruin and grant an abundant harvest. Bister Susie and Cousin Anne wish to write to you ; w|ll you publish tbelr letters? Bister Susie Is Just fifteen mouths younger than I, and Is In some of my classes; she writes a great deal and her hobby Is to bo competent to write for publication ; several of her productions have been already published also sev eral of mine, and rne of Cousin Anne’s; Anne Uvea here and goes to school with us. With a heart full of good wishes, I remain, your unknown niece. Lauka Darden West.
