HOME.
by MONTGOMERY.

There is land, of ev'ry land, the pride,
BELOVED by Heav'n DER all the world beside,
Where brighter suns dispense serener light,
And milder moons cmparadise the night;
A land Of beauty, virtue, vaor, TRUTH
Time-tutord age and love exalted youth;
The wand ring mariner whose eye explores
The weaIthest isles, the most enchanting shores,
Views not a realm so beautiful and fair,
Nor breathes the spirit Of purer air;
In evry cline the magnet of his soul,
Touchd by remembrance, trenbles to that pole
For in this land of Heav'ns peculiar grace,
The heritage of natures nobest race,
There is spot of earth Supremacy blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest;
Where man, creations tyrant, lays aside
His sword and sceptre, pageantry and pride;
While in his soften'd looks henignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband father, friend.
Here woman reigns-the mother daughter, " lie,
Strew with fresh flowers the narrow way of life
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye
An angel guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
Where shall that land, that spot of land be found
Art thou man "a patriot !-look around
0, thou shalt find, however thy footsteps roam,
That land thy country, and that spot thy HOME!

LADIES' EMBELLISHMENTS.

The perfumes of the Babylonian chemists
were celebrated all over the world. The
men dressed with great splendor; but the
women especially the favorites Of royalty.
mere arrayed with exceeding magnifcence
The queens had certain districts set apart
for maintaining their toilets and wardrobes
One furnished veil, another grdle. and
these districts were named according y
one being called the queens mantle, anoth-
er the queens girde, SC.
The Greeks, even in the heroic ages, in
which the actions of gods and men are so
strangely blended, INDUCED in snowy cos
tunes and ornaments, and the ladies painted
their faces to heghten the charms of Nature
Still, with all these loads Of finery, the an
clients were strangers to many of the elegan-
cies and conveniences of modern dress. In
stead Of shoes and stockings, they went with
the legs bare and sandals on their feet; and
they were without Innings, shirts, drawers,
pins, buckles, buttons, or pockets.
But when we come 10 the refinement OF
Athenian civilization, we find the ladies
spending the whole morning at the toilet,
washing, painting, arranging their elaborate
Nedu-uIGSStSa CuilliiB tiiCtI Ildll III SlCto
with hot irons, and dressing themselves III
robes of so light and fine texture, as to re-
veal the outlines of their forms, and every
motion of their bodies. Female beauty was
never displayed with more art or elegance
The Roman ladies added to the refine
men,s Of the Greeks. In the morning they
went to the bath; then came the grand op-
erations of the toilet, which required several
hours, and many assistants. One dressing
maid was exclusively employed in comblng
curling and dressing the hair; another al
tended to the perfumes; third disposed oil
the Jewels, selecting and arranging the suit
to be worn for each day fourth was EN-
ployed entirely in the preparation and lay
ing on of various cosmetics and paints
while several others had their particular de-
partments, all acting under the direction Of
one general superintendent, whose taste di
rected the formation Of the tout ensemble
while madame herself Sat before the mirror
studying her smiles, glances and attitudes
and, if we may credit Juvenal, sometime:
punished the blunders of her attendants with
the most unfeeling severity.
Among the ornaments OF the Roman la
dies, were hair-combs of ivory, gold ant
silver pins with heads Of pearl, chains ant
rings Of gold and purple and white rib
bons, and precious stones. Entire artf
cial head-dresses, with all these ornaments
could be bought at the shops, and fals
tresses and ringlets were as common two
thousand years ago as at the present day
AS red or golden hair was the fashionable
color, dark hair was dyed light, and gol'
dust was mingled with the head-dress, a
was powder, at much later period. Th

BEWARE OF EyIL.-Let no man say,
when he thinks Of the drunkard, broken in
health and spoiled in intellect, 81 can never
so fall" He thought as little of falling in
his earliest years. The promise Of his youth
was as bright as yours and even after be
began his downward course he was as I'M
suspicious as the frmest around him, and
would have repealed as Indignantly, the ad.
monitor to beware of intemperance. The
danger of this vice lies in its almost imper.
ceplible approach. Few who perish by i
know it by its first accesses. Youth doe:
not suspect drunkenness in the sparkling
beverage, which quickens all its susceplibi
lities OF Joy. The invalid does not see it ir
the cordial which gives new tone to his de.
bilitated organs. The man of thought ant
genius detects no palsyiug poison, in the
draught which seems a spring of lnspira-
tions to intellect and Imagination. The
lover of social pleasure little dreams that the
glass that animates conversation will ever
be drunk in solitude, and will sink him toe
i low for the intercourse in which he now
delights. Intemperance comes with noise
less step and binds its first cords with a
touch too light to be felt. This truth Of
mournful experience should be treasured up
bv all. and should influence the arrange
men,s and habits Of social and domestic life
in every class of the communicable
Charming.

WHAT A GENTLEMAN MAY DO, AND WHAT
He MAY NOT DO He may carry brace OF
par,ridges, hut not a leg of mutton. He
may be seen in the omnibus box at the ope-
ra, but not on the box Of an omnibus. He
NAV be seen in stall outside theatre, but
not at stall outside one. He may dust
another PERSONS jacket but must not brush
his own He may kill man in duel, bus
he mustn't eat peas with his knife. He may
thrash a coal-heaver, but he musn', ask
twice for soup. He may pay his debts Of
honor, but he need not trouble himself about
his lradesmen's bills. He may drive stage
coach, but he mustn't take or carry coppers.
He may ride a horse as Jockey, but he
mustn't exert himself in the least 10 get his
living. He must never forget what he owes
to himself as a gentleman, but he need not
mind what he owes as gentleman to his
tailor. He may do anything, or be anybody
in fact, within the range of gentleman-go
through the lnsolvent Debtors Court, or
turn billiard marker; but he mus, never on
any account carry brown paper parcel, or
appear in the streets witout pair Of gloves.

How DO YOU SPEND YOUR EVENINGS >

How DO YOU SPEND YOUR EVENINGS p
Young man-young woman-in what way
are your long evenings spent? In idle Cos
sip, in fashionable frivolity, genteel folly, or
in acquiring useful knowledge? Remember
that studious habits are among the great
presentations of public virtue and pri, ate
happiness. A love of useful knowledge can
be gratiied at far less expense, than love
ofempty accomplishments it gives strength
to the moral principle within; imparts a
relish for domestic tranquility, and fits us
for our duties. Throw not away these col.
den hours and blessed opportunities,

4. There is fatally false belief entertain

4. There is a falally false belief entertain
ed by some, with regard to the nature and
consequences of this vice, which is calcula-
ted to heget federation for it. 1t is sup
posed by some, that its evils reach no far
Their than the body; that it commits no ra-
wage upon the spiritual nature; that it can
be shed with this mortal coil, and leave the
soul unsulIied and untarnished Such, !
have reason to believe, is the faith of the
individual in this instance
5. Another item in the explanation of this
phenomenon, is a species of modern litera-
ture, now become fashionable. 1t is the
fruitful parent of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 1t does
not disgust you with its grossness. It's vul-
sari'y is not SO shocking as that of Fielding
or Smollet, or many parts of Shakespeare
1t distills its poison more insidiously. 1t is
a great error to suppose vice disarmed, be-
cause deprived Of its grossncss. 1t in fact
becomes more dangerous. 1t attracts minds
that would revolt from vulgar vice. 1t COW
ers righteousness with beautiful but de-
.ceplive haze Of poetry and sentiment, and
the victim breathe It's poisoned atmosphere,
unconscious of his danger. The healthy
and vigorous instincts Of virtue are weaken
ed and perverted. The essential distinc-
tons between vice and virtue are lost I'M
til the widest departures from right are I'M
observed
6. There is a dangerous species of inf:
deity which naturally assists this result
1t is the modern form of infdeity, and is
the more dangerous that it attracts the hon.
age of noble and generous natures. It's
characteristic consists in teaching that vice
and virtue are not essentially different nor
opposed; that they are but degrees Of the
same thing; that vice is nothing but imper-
lection. Virtuous and charitable minds, out
OF the very goodness Of their natures, fur
nIsh its fatal excuse for the depravilies
which they know not how to account for.
otherwise: they overlook the fact that sin
is enmity to God, and not imperfect virtue.
it is something positive and substantial, and
not merely comparative.
These are the causes which have produc-
ed the phenomenon, to which have allu-
ded. 1t becomes you to consider them
the remedy lies with you, as citizens of the
State, as fathers, brothers, mothers and

Old, or new, the following anecdote is
quite too good to be lost:
A pumpkin once dining with the Cover
nor of Rhode Island, where part of the en-
,ertainment consisted of champagne and
preserved olives, was asked, at the conclu-
sion, by the host, how he liked his dinner,
replied
"WalI, Gov'ner, your elders very good,

HOW YANKEES MAKE A LIVING,

~ HOW YANKEES MAKE A LIVING,
A writer in the Boston Recorder, who
has lately travelled through Connecticut,
thus describes the way in which the people
gain livelihood
Beginning in the northwestern part of
the State-where by the way some of ma
,ure's true noblemen dwell, we fnG many
furnaces smelling down iron ore of the best
quality, from their own mines, making each
from two to three tons Of pig iron per diem
and each consuming at single blast OF
eleven months million bushels of charcoal.
There is a shop manufacturing some Of
the best cutlery and another making huge
anchors and chain cables for our navy, from
iron wrought, at their pudding furnance.
Fifteen miles eastward, lies a village OF
! 1900 people situated at the outlet of splen-
did sheet of water, which in its descent of
$50 feet, carries all needed machinery
Here the business is scythe-making. An
other town is famous for its brass kettles, an
article made nowhere else i'll the nation, and
the trade of making which, it is said, was
from England. Hard by, are two con'igu-
Gus towns, made densely populous, even
on the rugged hill side, and independently
rich by the manufacture Of brass clocks
These articles of the extraordinary kind,
costing from nine shi'lings TO two dollars.
are sold over the world, at an advance OF
500 or 1000 per cent.
Coming farther eastward into Hartford
county, you find gang of hands digging
copper ore from the bowels Of mother earth
Then you enter town of 1000 people sup
ported entirely by making axes. Following
the Pennington river and passing many es-
Establishments, you alght at town of 1900
inhabitants, rgh, IN the gorge, where the
river in its dashing freaks, like lover with
out eyes instead Of making its way easily
and honestly down to New Haven, breaks
its way through the Talcolt mountain fol
the purpose of making union with the
Connecticut. These people are Scotchmen
making carpets. But this is only part Of
the establishment the remainder is located
10 or Is miles northeast, where is found &
community of 1900, from the same country
and engaged in like business. Observe here
in these two towns, are three very old fash
Toned Presbyterian churches. Passing by {
community Of Shake who supply the lane
with garden seeds and brooms and Haz
ards we'll known powder mills, where lht
"vilIainous sal,pe,re'' is made into an abomi
nation to cast missiles at the Mexicans ant
also some distilleries, too de,estable to bio

are made paper, cloth of dilferen, kinds, iror
ware, and card teeth s.; the last set to order
and in quantities sufficient TO straighten al
the fibre which ever grew on Sleeps back

A YANKEE SPECULATION.

"a AAN iAAIiI LCC1LA lON.
The other day, being in the vicinity of
the old Cradle of Liberty, we passed to wi
ness the operations of cute Yankee at a
refreshment stall.
The object Of our attention was stall
wart, red checked youth, with fox-sk in cap,
blanket coat and wooden mil,ens, and might
have come down from Vermont with load
of venson and poultry. 1t was evident from
his manner that he had got through with his
business, whatever it was, and was now /.
man OF leisure, The chapman displayed his
most tempting edibles, for he saw before
him customer amply able to extend lib
eral patronage. The Yankee looked over
his whole stock in trade, and priced nearly
every article he had

he would say.

And he fixed upon plate of these deli
cIous Yankeeisms his avid and devouring
eyes. Here he siood' on safe ground -
some of the other .fxins' were beyond
his comprehension-but he knew dough-
nuts as well as he "knew beanes.o

"Doughnuis has riz." replied The ven,Ier
with an air of profound i'm portance and in
,elligence.

he added, raising his arm or,orically and
transforming himself into human teapot,

lowering his arm and tone.
'Mought a fellow take his pick" incurred
the customer, hesilating with his cent in his

The Yankee deposited The specie, and
seized on doughnut which he had before

".Any,hing else - inquired the vender, as
he swept the coin into his drawer, and noted
the sale on his slate.

CLEAN of satisfaction, and he withdrew with
his prize We were curious enough to fol-
low him-we watched him as he set his teeth
into the immense mass. Alas for the vani-
ty of human hopes. That Doughnut was
an imposi,ion-a sham-a mere batter bub
bic blown into the semblance of solidity.
Loud were the impreca,ions of the Yam
