A DRUNKARD'S HOME.

The following description of a drunkard's home,
is copied from the Buffalo Spectator. 1t presents
melancholy, but we fear too accurate picture.
Intemperance rifles ''sweet homo" fits pleasant
Joys A few weeks ago addressed the people in
Slmsbury, Conn, on intemperance. Sabbath after
noon visited IA drunkards home. There was
but single room in the house and that looked as
if it had not for long time known the operation
of cleansing. 1t was covered with dirt Sticks
crumbs OF bread and walnut Shells were scattered
over the floor. On chest sat Jeremiah Hamer-
son, the luther. Lie was common drunliard.
For fifteen years he could Justly be styled the
"King of Drunkards." He had from day to day
drank himself drunk, in spite of every thing. He
was mechanic. He had been man of strong
mind and extensive reading and intelligence and
was said to have remarkably tenacious memory
sunk him lower and lower Some of the bitter
fruits OF his transgressions, were blasphemy, inf
dety, abuse OF his wife, poverty disease and debt.
Hemerson sat on the chest, resting his elbow on
o. 70" which were few dishes, broken and
nome men from the house oI
cleansed the room, and removed the pieces Of fur
niture and the bed out Of doors. This was hardly
bringing the ghaslly and shened corpse oil lienior-
sons wife, which had been found III the neighbor-
ing woods HENDERSON had often savagey beaten
this miserable woman Her cries sometimes, on {
Sabbath morning, had been heard at the distance of
halla mile. At last her spirit sunk; it seemed as If
the grave the only outlet for her accumulated
sorrows. A few days before this, HENDERSON had
beaten her severely; in despair, she fled into the
woods, and persisted alone, in the darkness and
storm and midnight. This was drunkard's home.
Would that every female, about to unite her in
terest with that of one who tastes the intoxicating
cup could look upon this home Verify they would

groom, she is led back to her chamber where
she is unveiled by her future husband. A table
is then spread, and the cup of alliance is drunk
together by the young couple Some fortunate
matron, the mother of many children, then en-,
!ets ana Pronounces benediction, as well as 60
ing through the form of laying the nupia bed.
Meanwhile the party of friends in the hall make
merry, and when the bridegroom joins them
they either ply him with wine, or not, according
to the character and grade of the company
When the hour of retirement al rives, they escort
him to the door of the chamber in body, and
then dispense.
On the following day the new couple come
forth to the great hall, where they adore the
household gods, and pay their respects to their
parents and nearest relations. They then return
to their chamber, where they receive the visits
OF their young friends and the whole of the first
month is devoted in like manner to leisure and
amusement. On the third day after the wedding,
visit her PARENTS and at length, wninlu sedan TO
is expired, the BRIDES friends send her particu
lar head-d dress, an entertainment is paraken of
by the relations ofboth parties, and the marriage
ceremonies are thereby concluded.

DAUGHTERS. Let no man impatiently long
for sons He may please himself with ideas of
boldness and masculine energy, and moral or
mental achievement; but ten to one he will meet
with little else than trowardness, reckessness,
imperiousness and ingratitude. "Father give me
the portion that falleth to me-" was the imperl.
GUS demand of the prodigate prodigal, who had
been INDUCED from his childhood. This case is
the representation of thousands The painter
then drew the portrait painted for all poserity.-
But the daughter-she clings like The rose leaf
around the stem to the parent homo and paren-
tai heart; she watches the approving smile, and
detects the slightest shade on the brow; she
wanders not on forbidden pleasure grounds
Wrlngs not the hearts at home with her doubtful
midnight absence, wrecks not the hopes to which
early promise has given birth, nor paralyses the
soul that doats on this, its chosen object. Wher-
ever the son may wander in search of fortune
or pleasure, there is the daughter within the sac
red temple OF home, the vestal virgin of its in
nermost sanctuary, keeping alive the flame of
domestic affection, and blessing that existence of
which she herself is part.

extract from Miss Martineau's "Society in Amer

highly compimentary-and many will pro-
nounce them just =
"The instruction furnished is not good enough
for such a country; but it must he remembered
that the same kind and degree ofinstruction goes
much farther in democracy than elsewhere

merely, and to young citizens who are aware
that they have their share of the work of self
government TO achieve--the early republican
consciousness, and the fact of the more impor-
tant place which children occupy in society,
whose numbers are small in proportion to its re-
sources, are the two circumstances which occa-

very few instances found in the country,
where the sons Of rich men have moi
diminished the inheritance received from
their parents, aud the examples are still
more rare in which the second generation
have not succeeded in scattering the de-

ing the individual in the face.
But the most sufficient reason why a.
will succeed while j, will probably fail, is
found in the fact that money invested in
farming is undoubtedly for better than mo,
ney at 7 per cent. This we think will be
questioned by few who have been in the
habit Of observing what passes around
them, or examining the reports made Of
particular farms which have from time to
time appeared in the farming journals of
the day. In all such reports it is evident,
that after dcducling the expense of work
in1, certain per cent for wear and tear,
and the necessary repairs, aud the interest
Of he capIal employed, the remainder will
be clear profits. The amount Of this
profit will depend on circumstances. The
expense of working a grain farm will be
greater than on grazing farm, but the
capital employed III stocking is less, and
the profits usually much higher the re-
turns for labor are quicker, and The pro-
cecjs accumulate in compound ratio.
Mr. S. II. Vary Of Klndcrhook made a
report Of his farm for the Cultivator, in
which he estimates the proceeds from l45
acres Of land at g 285. Deduct one
third of this and there is left 1854, which
is the interest of S2l,772; Mr.. Vary did
not state his capital or the value Of his
land, bu, the profits would pay tho interest
on Ids acres at $3.50 an acrc--probably
more than double its actual price,
Mr.. Carter, Of Champion, Jefferson
county, has furnished Judge Buel farm
report which makes tota from 100 acres
of $3.50 Among the items is one not
usually found on farms, viz, mulberry trees,
and which to Mr.. c. are quite source Of
profit. This amount, less one third as ex.
pcnses, &c, would leave SlO93 as profit,
or the interest on a capital Of $4,000,
which would fix Mr.. Cariers 100 acres at
: Sc an ac'c-a price which would make
the good farmers Of Jefferson county open

much the fashion in some ofthe extremely
neutral Wing papers, to speak lightly of
Mr. Wise; on the ground that he has not
squared his speech and conduct by the most
rigid rules of parliamentary dccorum. In
talent as speaker we consider Mr.. Wise
