We HAVE NO HO ME-.

We have no home;
The cottage gray is ours no more,
And by its hearth-stone strangers dwell;
darkness hangs about the door
Which scarce the sunshine can dispel
There youthful joys, affections ties,
Gave foretaste of paradise,
And sweet the day of toll or rest
4 mothers presence always blest.
We have no home;
4 thousand thoughts unbidden start
4 thousand fears portentous rise
To freight the soul and shake the heart,
Like clouds athwart the summer skies
No home alar let me be cast,
Since here the strangers foot hath passed
The bargue which braves mid-ocean's roar,
Nav wreck upon her native shore.
We have no home;
And yet, my sister, yet with thee
An humble cot hope to gain
For dear unto our heart would be
The lowest roof that wards the rain,
Where winter storms JOY would yield,
And pleasures fill each summer field,
Where natures music, groves and flowers,
Portray the home that first was ours

ZiitO, The SOreerer.

Very strange things are related Of Iii
to, j sorcerer, at the court Of Wenresiaus,
King of Bohemia, and afterwards Emperor
Of Germany, in the latter part of the four
teenth century. This is. perhaps, all things
considered, the most wonderfu! specimen of
magical power any where TO be found. 1t
is recorded by Dubravious, bishop of Oh
NUT, in his history Of Bohemia. 1t was
publicly exhibited on occasion of the mar
rage Of Wencesaus with Sophia, daugh,
ter Of the Eiecior paIalIne Of Bavaria, be.
fore a vast assembled multitude.
The falher-in-law Of the king, well
aware of the bridegroom's known predi-
lection Tor theatrical exhibitions, aud magi-
cdi Illusions, brought with him TO Prague,
the capital of Wenceslaus, a whole wagon
load Of moTrice. dancers aud jugglers, who
made their appearance among the royal
reiIuue. meanwhile Zlilo, the favorite
magician Of the Kiug, took his place oh
securely among the ordinary spectators.
he, however, Immediately arrested the
attention of the strangers, beipg remarked

mouth that stretched completely from ear

in quietly observing the tricks and sleights
that we're exhibited. At length, while the
chief magician Of the Elector Paatine was

Bohemian, indignant at what appeared to

The two professors presently fell into warm
debate. Zlito, provoked at the insolenCe
of his rival, made no more ado, bat swal-
lowed him whole before the multitude,
attred as he was, all but his shoes, which
ne objected to, because they were dirty.
He then retired for short time TO q closet,
and presently returned, leading the magi-
clan along with him.
Having thus disposed of his rival, Zlito
proceeded TO exhibit the wonders OF his
art. lie showed himself fist in his pro-

with the Kings chariot, in car drawn by
barn door fowls-He also amused the
kings guests as they sat at table. by caus-

out al the window TO see some sight that
was going by, they could by no means dra W
them back again; while he, in the mean
time, feased on the savory cakes that had
been spread before them, at his leisure.
Al one time, he pretended to be in want
OF money, and 10 ask his wits 10 devise the
means to procure it. On such an occa.
sion, he took up handful of grains Of corn,
and presently gave them the form and
appearance of thirty hogs, well iatted for
the market. He drove these hogs to the
residence Of Michael, itch dealer, but " ho
was remarkable for being penurIous and
thrifty in his bargains. He offered them
TO Michael at whatever price he should
Judge reasonable. The bargain was pre-.
sently struck, Zilto, al the sans time, warn.
ing the purchaser that he should oD no ac-
count drive them TO the river to drink
Michael, however, paid no attention to this
advice, and the hogs no sooner arrived al
the riVer, than they turned into grains of
corn as before. The dealer greatly enrag.
ed at this trick, sought high and low for
the seller, that he NIGH. be revenged on
him. AT length, he found him in a vrnt
nef's shop, seemingly in gloomy and alb.
sent state of mind, reposing himself. with
his legs stretched out on form The
dealer called out to him, but he seemed not
to hear. Finally, he seized Ziito by one
foot, PIucking at il with all his might. The
foot cane away with the leg and thigh
and Zllto screamed out, apparently in great
agony. lie seized Michael by the nape
of the neck, and dragged him before
judge. Here the two set up theE separate
complaints, Michael and Ziito. for the ir.
reParable injury he had suffered in his
person. From this adventure came the
proverb frequently used in the days of the
historian, speaking Of person who had
made az lmprovldent bargain" He has
made just such purchase as Michael did
with tie hogs"

There is no greater defect in educating
children ttan neglecting TO accustom them
to work. 1t is an evil that attaches most
suffer from ii. The parent considers
whether the chiId's work is necessary to
him, and does not consider whether the
work is necessary or not 10 the child.
Nothing Is more certain than that their
future independence and comforts much
depend on being accustomed to provide
toI the thousand constantly recurring wants
that nature entails on us. If this were
not SO, still il preserves them from bad
habits; it secures their health-it strength
ems both mind and body-it enables them
better to bear the confinement of the
school room, and il tends more than any
thing else to give them just views of life.
Ii is too often the case that children, pro.
vided they spend half dozen hours of the
day at school, are permitted to spend the
rest as they please. They thus grow up
in The world without a knowledge Of its
tolls and its cares. They view il through
false medium. They cannot appreciate
the favors you bestow, as they do not know
the tolls they cost. Their bodies and
minds are enervaled, and they are con,
stanlY exposed TO whatever vicious asso.
Citations are within their reach. The
daughter probably becomes that pitiable,
helpless object. noyelreading girl The
500, if he surmount the consequences of
your neglect, does il probably after his
plans and station for life are fixed, and
when knowledge, for one of lis important
objects, comes too late.
No man or woman is fully educated if
not accustomed to manual labor. What
ever accomplishments they possess-what-
ever their mental training, deduction
must be made for their ignorance of that
important chapter in the worlds great
book.
