trod the courts ofheaven.- How wildly the
scene comes up before US. The hour Of
twilight-the lighted fire on the wide, clean.
swept hearth, throwing its cheerful light
and warmth far into the centre of the room
and keeping at bay the gathering darkness
without, which stood grimly at the windows
or skulked in the farther corners, shroudinr
the old clock in its gloomy folds. Then
gathered the family circle around the ruddv
olaze-those, who, during the day, had been
separated by their various duties, meeting
here In best communion. Upon our low
stool we sat in the wide chimney corner or
frolicked with Jumper upon the mat
ever and anon pausing to listen to the days
experiences of those who had been ont to
battle with the world. And as the fam.
hickered upon the hearth, now shooting nm
IN aspiring columns, and again falling to the 4
fore STICK" we watched the play of the
advancing and retreating light and shadow q
upon the faces of the loved ones around. and
fancied with each change a new beautv v.,
revealed. And then, strange contrast What
distorted Visages stared out upon us from
the polished surface of the tall brass and.

they stood the heat that made us retreat to +,
the outer verge of the hearth-how sacredlv
they were guarded from pin scratch or care.

How delicious We're the roasted apnle,
that grew red upon the hearth: and th.

How we startled the timid girls, when, with
sly handful of gunpowder, we fought the
grand battle of Bunker Hill, by sprinklinp
it upon the hot ashes! at =
Then, again, at the evenings close, when
the candle had burnt low, and the book or {
the knitting had been laid aside and the

the upper caverns of the wide old chimney

corner. Then came the careful raking up
of the ashes-and bed. saI "a
All this we saw in the Fire on the Hearth.
That fire has gone out-thot hearth is DESC
late. The dear ones that surrounded it ara
scattered abroad-some are fighting thu
battle of life under other skies-some have
gained the victory, and are sleeping in their
graves. Never more shall we all pather,
around the Fire on the Hearth. But the
hres lighted at that hearth upon the affairs
OF the heart are burning still-and, shall
ever burn. For there lessons of virtue were
taught, affections formed, and principles in
culcated, that make up our all of life. Bless-
ings on thee, thou ruddy, joyous Fire on the
Hearth that hast given US this vision of the
past. sr

| Dickens, in the last nun ber of Household
Words, gives the following judicious hints
to travellers: Start with as little luggage
as possible. A carpet-bag, with coat
case at bottom, is enough for any man, and
small tin case to hold q uniform, which ia
an absolute necessity to man setting out
on the grand tour. For the rest, q plain
black morning coat, with grey or brown
trousers and waistcoat, makes the best
travelling dress. A black coat, some light
dress waistcoat, and one pair of dress trous-
ers, is an ample quantity of outer garments;
six shirts, the same number of pairs Of
socks, two neck and six pocket handker-
chiefs, and rolling Gussian leather dres-
sing case one pair of boots on and one off,
elastic kid dress boots pack best,) and
pair of slippers; Murray's Guide Book,
case of Mordan's pencils, and sketch
book; an India rubber bath, a sponge, and
seme soap, with a strong purse is the most
complete kit necessary. All the rest Is :
more bother than it is worth. A traveller
can get his washing done at any Of the
great hotels in Europe during the night and
while he is asleep as his things get shah
by, all the railways on the continent lug
gage is charged for almost by the ounce,
and a new coat may be bought for half the
cost of carrying an old one about fol, q
week. A good cloak is best for travelling In
winter an oil-skin cape may be useful in
summer, but do not carry either about IL
you do not want them. In Belgium and
Prussia you may send small portmanteau
or carpet-bag cheapest through the post
Office, aud it is sure to arrive safely, which
is not the case if sent by rail or diligence, d
or even if taken with you, and the luxury n,
of being altogether free from baggage In . 2,

Dr.. NJ. CAMrDELL-We are pleased to find in
the Fairmont True virginian, the following cor
liberation of the few words of commentator we
used the other day in reference to this gentleman:
1--WE believe we but express the sentiment uni
versally prevailing in this community, when we
give utterance to our regret at the removal of DR..
Campbell from our midst. But, for the profession
which he has pracliced so successfully and skill
fully, his energy and industry requires larger
field of operation. We have no doubt of his sue
cess in the growing and enteTprising city Of Wheel
ing. His benevolent and gentlemanly bearing rs
IMAM will gain him access to the heart of every
acquaintance, while his skill aud industry as a
phy7cian will commend him to the patronage of
his friends and neighbors.
