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.

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.
