THE
MASON 1 & UliiLli ORGAN CO.
WINNERS,:'OF THE
PARIS EXPOSITION MEDAL,
Who have uniformly been awarded
HIGHEST HONORS
At Industrial Exhibitions
IN THIS COUNTRY,
So that their work is the acknowledged standard
of excellence iu its department, respectfully an
nounce that, with extended aud perfected facili
ties, and by the exclusive use of recent improve
ments, they are now producing yet more perfect
Organs than ever before, iu great variety as to
style and price, adapted to all public aud private
uses: for Drawing Rooms, Libraries, Music
Rooms, Concert Hails, Lodges. Churches.Schools,
&c , in plain aud elegant cases, all of which they
are enabled by their unequalled facilities for man
ufacture to sell at prices of inferior work.
The recent improvements in these Organs have
so increased their usefulness and popularity that
they are unquestionably the most desirable in
struments obtainable for family use, as well as
Churches, Schools, &c., while the prices at which
they can be afforded ($50 to $1,000) adapt them
to the means and requirements of all classes.—
They are equally adapted to secular and sacred
music, are elegant as furniture, occupy little space,
are not liable to get out of order, (not requiring
tuning once where a pianoforte is tuned twenty
times) are very durable, and easy to learn to play
upon.
The M. A H. Organ Co. are now selling FOUR
OCTAVE ORGANS for $50 each; FIVE OC
TAVE ORGANS, FIVE STOPS, with two sets
of VIBRATORS for $125, and other styles at
proportionate rates.
For testimony to the superiority of their Organs,
the Mason A Hamlin Organ Co respectfully ’re
fer to the musical profession generally ; a majori
ty of the most prominent musicians in the coun
try, with many of eminence iu Europe, having
given public testimony that the Mason & Hamlin
Organs excel all others.
A circular containing this testimony in full will
be sent free to any one desiring it, also a descrip
tive circular, containing full particulars respect
ing these instruments, with correct drawings of
the different styles and the lowest prices, which
are fixed and invariable. Address

"10E SOCTUEii.Y FARM & HOME.
W E PROPOSE to issue on the 15th of No
vember, and on the 15th of every month
thereafter a paper of 32 pages, to be devoted ex
clusively to Agriculture, Horticulture und mutters
relating to the Field and Fireside.
While we do not desire to disparage any of the
agricultural publications which are now receiving
public patronage, we do not believe that any of
them exactly covers the ground which we propose
to occupy.
We intend to issue a first-class paper, both as to
matter and execution. We shall employ the best
taleut which the country affords in every depart
ment. and we intend to spare no pains to make
the paper a reliable authority to all seeking infor
mation on everything relating to
The Farm und the Household.
Eminent practical agriculturists will contribute
articles concerning the Preparation and Culture
of the Soil.
Skilled Horticulturists and truit growers will
keep our readers posted in regard to the Garden
and Orchard.
Persons of acknowledged experience and skill
in the raising and care of stock will devote tlnir
attention to this important subject.
The Domestic Department of the Household.
The kitchen, the larder, the store-room, and tlie
fowl yard—with approved recipes iu all branches
of housewifery, shall be attended to carefully.
We have made arrangements to illustrate the
text with appropriate wood eugraviugs, and while
tlie greater portion of the jiaper will be devoted to
the instruction and benefit of the heads of the
house, the amusement of the young people shall
not be neglected.
The covers and a few pages at the end of each
number of the Southern Farm aud Home will he

valuable medium for business men to communi

As we propose to issue a large edition of the

would invite our friends and patrons to make ear

YUBA DAM.
A Wedding in Civilized Life. •
I lately had the pleasure of attend
ing a wedding which reminded me of
the good old ante-bellum days, piior to
the discovery of petroleum—when the
secrets ot the domestic circle were held
sacred, and before the underclothing
aid oilier paraphernalia of ladies were
considered fit subjects for newspaper
gossip.
Our ancient and very seldom friend,
Mr. Good C. Sense, and lhal truly fas
cinating but obsolete young lady, Miss
Prudence M. OJesiy, were the parlies
married. A few of the intimate friends
of each were present, but, as the mob
of gossips and curiosity-mongers were
peimilted to stay at home, tlie wed
ding was truly a pleasant and rational
afiiiir. The services were solemn and
impressive and conducted by one eler
gymrm, who seemed"to find no difficul
ty in performing his pleasant duty
without the aid ol “assistance,” so nec
essary when such occasions are cele
brated by the Fifth Avenoodles.
Tlie bride was neatly and becom
ingly dressed in very good clothes but
no spangles. As she was dressed ail
over she had no occasion tor blushing,
but received the congratulations of her
friends with becoming composure and
a charming absence of giggle, which
your grandmother will tell you was
once considered eminently sweet and
womanly. No rooms furnished with
ot ientalmagnificence were thrown open
for admiring interjections, and no dry
goods were thrown out for display. As
the happv couple were able to pur
chase articles for housekeeping, they
did not commence their married life as'
connubial mendicants. Consequently
no table, by way ofa contribiition box,
was set cut for the reception ot bridal
presents.
I dare say the bride has a sufficient
quantity of underwear, but being a la
dy, she fell a lady’s repugnance to
having such articles inventoried by
Jenkins, and she did not furnish me
with a fist thereof. Consequently I am
unable to give you the number of each
article, and cannot say how many are
ruffled and how many are plain.
The bridegroom having a true af
fection fot his wife, declined to subject
her to being pulverized or roasted alive
on a railroad, and—escaping the per
ils of travel—to certain dyspepsia by
taking her around through our fashion
able hotels. They are quietly settled
down at there home, and as they rep
resent a class of persons nearly extinct,
they will have the good wishes of all
who remember the. quiet unostenta
tious and truly aristocratic bearing of
the ladies aud gentlemen who were
once the leaders and ornaments of
American society. They are rapidly
passing away, giving piace to shoddy.
The tinsel and glitter and glare ofa
wedding of “the period” resembles
nothing so much as the spectacular
dramas we have borrowed from the
French, and a “brilliant wedding,” or
‘wedding ki high life,” ol the present
day needs only a full orchestra, OfFcu-
bach’s music and the Can-Can to make
the illusion perfect. YUBA DAM.

fectness.” Perfectness of manhood was
tlie grand aim in view; but perfectness
of manhood did not come in the lump.
The great object could be gradually’
obtained, the Lord Jesus Christ being
the model. There must be a perfec
tion in ail the parts; perfectness ot
manhood required a development of a
full and healthy Condition of the body,
because one part could not be separat
ed from the other. It required a reg
ulated use and discipline of the pas
sions, because they were the enginery
of life. The physical and spiritual con
dition of man must harmonize for the
more thorough development of the per
fectness required, while the clear light
of reason must lie thrown over all, like
the windows in a dwelling house.
Moreover, the understanding must like
wise he developed, for it with the oth
ers constituted the one organic man
hood which religion sought. It was for
that the Church was established, to
educate men to that perfectness of
manhood. Christ did not corne into
the world to establish a Church ; He
came to establish a spiritual manhood
and develop truth ; An make men larg
er and show them how they could be
possessed of every a'tribute that God
in his original designs intended for hu
manity. It was that which the Church
sought, and it was also the foundation
stone of the New Testament. Con
trast that with the current partialisms
of life. There were a great many men
who thought that religion was the foun
dation whereon to be saved, and that
all they had to do was to avoid sin and
keep rid of it. Certainly the beginning
ofa religious life was the forsaking of
evil. But that was not the whole of it;
for if the farmer spent all his time
weeding and keeping the ground clear
of weeds there would he no corn or
other necessary productions from the
soil.
The reverend gentleman then referred
at some length to the question of what
he termed negative piety.- A man
might be a Christian and sin ten times
as much as another man who had not
a single element of Christianity. There
Always do what your conscience tells
is your duly, and leave the consequence
to God.” ,
A Two Hundred Mile Race.—A
novel race occurred over the Bay view
Park Course, San Francisco, on the
31st of October. It was a contest of
endurance in the saddle between two
young men, named Neil N'owrv and
W illiam Walsh. The stake was $1,000
a side and a gold medal. The dis
tance to be run was l\v,i hundred miles.
Each man was allowed twenty horses,
with no reserve. The contest began
about nine o'clock a. m., and was fin
ished in nine hours. Up to the one
hundred and tent ft mile the chances
favored Walsh, and the score stood :
Walsh, 110; Nowrv, 107£. After that,
several of Walsh’s horses shied and
broke, and the severe exercise ot mount
ing and dismounting wiih sufficient ra
pidity, began to «lelj upon him, and
No wry gained until the one hundred
and twentieth mile, when the score
stood even, and tie completed his two
hundred miles in eight hours and fifty-
eight minutes. His rival accomplished
the same in nine hours and fifteen sec
onds. The horses were of varied stock.
Sporting men regard the race, under
all the circumstances, as the greatest
ever run on this continent.
Pointed Advice.—The Rev. Ed
ward N. Kirk, D. D., who has been
pastor of the Mount Vernon Calvinistic
Congregational Church, Boston, Mass.,
for many years, is one of the finest
looking men in the Christian ministry.
Straight as an arrow, active in his mo
tions, with a piercing eye, and a clear,
musical voice, he is as popular and as
efficient to-day as he was twenty years
ago, before he became what he now
is—an*inveterate old bachelor. Sever
al years ago, in the light of his early
popularity, a wealthy lady of Boston
sent him a note in which she offered
him “her heart, her hand and her for
tune.” The doctor, who is as sharp
and as prompt in his replies as he is in
his actions, gave her the following ad
vice, byway of answer; “Give your
heart to God, keep your hand for the
man who asks you for it, and bestow
your fortune upon the poor and the
needy.”

It has been contended by some of
our ablest thinkers, that the greatest
amount of.good done in tlie world has
been done by bachelors. Whether
this be true or not, we often wonder
that many men, famous for their kind
ness of heart and generosity of disposi-
tion, should remain single through life.
There is n§ more remarkable case of
this 3ort, than of the late George Pea
body. It is said that in his history
there is a romance that perhaps has
never been made public.
A number of years ago, when Sir.
Peabody was just entering upon his ca
reer of success as a business man, in
Baltimore, he met by chance, in the
street, a poor girl, who was but a child,
but whose pleasing face and gentle
manner attracted his notice. Question
ing her as to her parentage and sur
roundings, he found her in every way
worthy his regard, and a fit subject for
his benefaction. He at once adopted
her as his ward, and gave her an edu
cation. As she advanced in age, her
charms of person as well as the bright
ness of her intellect, won the affections
of her benefactor. Through this rela
tionship he had ample opportunity ol
watching her progress, and day by day
her hold upon his affections grew
stronger. At length, as the ward
bloomed into womanhood,thoqgh much
her senior in years, Mr. Peabody ol-
fered her his hand and fortune. Grate
fully appreciating his generosity, and
acknowledging her attachment for
him as almost a father, she with great
feeling confessed that honor compelled
her to decline the acceptance ol this
his greatest act of generosity, inform
ing her suitor that her affections had
been given to another, a clerk iu the
employ of her benefactor.
Though disappointed and grievously
shocked, the philanthropist sent for his
clerk, and learning from him that the
engagement had been of long xluration,
Mr. Peaboclv at once established his
successful rival in business, and soon
after gave his benediction upon the
marriage of his ward. This, it is said,
was the first blow his heart received,
it is possible that from this episode
came the inspiration that made the lu-
lureof Mr. Peabody so universally dis
tinguished, and has rendered his name

merely.established as an educating a-
cademy where men learned how to be
saved, but the church of itself could
not save a man. After alluding to
what he considered the fallacy of some
men in believing that by belonging to
a church they were on the sure path
to salvation, he showed that true man

England, says an eastern paper lived
Deacon Brown, a very staid, dignified
sort of Christain, a perfect model of

age of forty had found himself with a
family of four small children, without
a mistress to his farm house. As he
could not immediately take another
wife a:ul avoid exciting scandal, and
could not get along without some one
to take charge of the kitchen and nurse
ry, he had recourse to employing a
young woman as house maid.

A Pithy Sermon.—Many a sermon
has been spun out to an hour’s length
that did not contain a tithe of the sound
moral instruction and counsel to be
found in the following brief and pithy
sermon from the pen of that good man
and racy wriier, Rev. John Todd:
“You are architects of your own for
tunes. Rely upon your own strength
of body and soul. Take ffir your mot
to, self-reliance, honesty and industry:
for your star, faith, perseverance and
pluck; and inscribe on your banner,
“Be just and fear not.” Don’t take
too much advice ; stay at the helm and
steer your own ship. Strikeout. Think
well of yourselves. Fire above the
mark you intend to bit. Assume your
position. Don’t practice excessive hu
mility. You can’t gel above your lev
el—water don’t run up hill. Put po
tatoes in a cart over a rough road, and
the small ones will go to the bottom.
Energy, invincible determination, with
the right motion, are the lexers that
move the world. Civility costs noth
ing and buys everything. Don’t drink;
don’t smoke ; don’t swear ; don’t gam
ble; don’t lie ; don’t deceive or steal ;
don’t lalile. Be polite; be generous;
be self-reliant. Read good books. Love
your fellow-man as well as you love
God. Love your counity ami obey
the laws. Love truth. Love honor.
(sobs and tears)and that Nancy Stearns
has been keeping house for me. Aim
you know that I have a little child not
ja year old. Well, sometimes that
child would cry in the night, and it
would be a long time before I could
quiet it; and last Tuesday night—God
forgive me !—the child cried so hard
that. Nancy arose and came into the
room, and leaned over the bed, to
hush the child—and brothers and sis
ters, her leaning over me there made
me forget Christ.”
“What did you do ?” demanded the
minister, sternly.
“I—I—ki—ssed her!” stammered
out the Deacon, between his sobs,”
but I’ve been very sorry about it and
prayed to be forgiven, a id I want you
to forgive and pray tor me, brothers
aud sisters ”
As tlie Deacon bowed himself upon
his seat like the mighty oak before the
tornado, Deacon Good fellow arose and
asioaished the audience slid more, by
saying:
“Brothers and sisters, you have
heard what brother Brown has said :
now he wants our forgivness, For
my part I believe brother Brown is
truly penitent, and I am willing to for
give him with my whole heart. And,
brothers and sisters, I will add still
further that if I had no wile, and a
pretty gir! like Nancy Stearns should
come into my room and lean over my bed
and lean over me, I’d kiss her, siu or no
sin!”
