Music IN THE FAMmY.-An excellent clergy
man possessing much knowledge of human ma
ture, instructed his large family of daughters in
the ordinary practice OF music. They were all
observed to be amiabe and happy. A friend en-
quired if there was any secret in his mode of
education. He replied, when anything disturbs
their tempers, say to them sing and if hear
them speaking against any person, call them
to sing to me, and they sing away all causes o.
discomfort, and every disposition to scandal
Such use of this accomplishment might seen
to fit family for the company of angels, young
voices around the domestic altar, breathing sa
cred music, at the hour of morning and evening
devotion, are sweet and touching accompani
ment-MrS. SigOurney

the arts and sciences which improve and embel-

Congress would have lost the opportunity of dis
honoring themselves by voting supplies to carry
on war which they have acknowledged to be
unrig hteous, cruel and unnecessary, He would
then have proved himself true and legitimate
Hero, and the wise andvirtuous of all nations and
ages would have combined to do him reverence
ay, and when the portals of immortality should
be opened to receive his disembodied spirit, NAV

the shout, TIE HERO COMES.

What so sweet
So beautiful on EARTH and oh so rare
AS kindred love and family repose.
The busy world,
With all the tumult and the stir of life,
Pursues its wonted course on pleasure some,
And some on commerce, or ambition bent,
And all on happiness; while each one loves
One little spot i'll which his heart unfolds
With natures hottest feelings; one sweet spot,
And calls it Home If sorrow is felt there,
It runs through many bosoms, and smile
Lights up in eyes around a kindred smile;
And If disease intrudes, the sufferer finds
Rest on the breast beloved.
