THE CHARM OF CLEANLINESS
A white yellow cravat or shirt on a
man speaks at once the character of
his wife and be you assured that she
will not take with your dress pains
which she has never taken with her
own. Then the manner of putting on
the dress is no bad foundation for
judging-if it be carelessly, slovenly-
if it do not properly fit. No matter
for its mean quality mean as it may
be, it may be neatly and trinity put
on ; and if it be not, take care of your
self, for, as you will p find to your
cost, sloven in one t1lBg is sloven
in all things. The country people
Judge from the State of the covering of
the ankles and if it be not clean and
tight, they conclued!out Of sight is not
as it ought to be. Looe at the shoes !;
if they be trodden on one side, loose on
the foot, or run down at the heel, it is
very bad sign and as to slip-shod,
though at coming down in the moring,
and even before daylight. make up
your mind to a rope, rather than live
with a slip-shod wife. Oh! how
much do woman lose by inattention to
these matters! Men, in general, say
nothing about it to their wives; but they
think about it they envy their luckier
neighbours; and, in numerous cases,
consequences the most serious arise
from this apparently trihing cause.
Beauty is valuable; it is one Of thu
ties, and strong tie too; that, how
ever, cannot last to an old age but
the charm of cleanliness never ends
but with life itself.

Lines on the following sentiment expressed in a
sermon, on Thanksgiving day: "Piety often
fourisbes most in soil watered with tears; and
succeeds, where harvests OF temporal good have
ceased to grow"
Hopes soft petals loves the beam
That cheer'd them into birth;
Pleasure seeks the glittering stream
That oozes from the earth;
knowledge yields her lofty fruit
To those who climb with toll;
But Heavens pure plant strikes deepest root,
Where tears have dew'd the soil
Hope, her flowrets gives the blast
When wrecking winds arise;
Pleasures garlands wither fast
Before incement skies;
knowledge often mocks pursuit.
Involved in may shades
But PIETY sheds richer fruit
When other harvests fade

Grand Haven, March A, 1852.

A sparrow was remarked tofly several times
with food in her mouth, into q hole in an old
wall. The curiosity of a person observing it,
was excited to ascertain the cause; and, ascend
ing to the place with ladder, he found there a
fuI-grown bird of the summers brood, which
had been accidentally entangled, by one leg in
such manner as not to be able to escape
Thus fettered, the old birds had continued to
feed and support it in its confinement, even for
some months after all the other individuals of
the same brood, had taken their flight. Do thou
likewise.

the cause of humanity, will extend and increase,
till the final consumation of all things,-and
the name of Elihu Burritt will be pronounced
with veneraton and pleasure, by millions yet
unborn. Great and astonishing as are the re-
suits of selfculturc in his case, what young
man can say, that he can not, by similar course,
effect something equally as great and benef-
cia! No man knows what he can do, till he
has made trial of his powers. Judge Pratt,
of the Supreme Court of this State, is emphat-
ically self-made man. He was raised in n
new section of the State of New York, and
was almost wholly deprived of the privilege of
attending school; but after he reached the Pc
Rod of manhood, he applied himself to self
culture at odd times and evenings, while enga-
ged in manual laborand teachinga distant school,
and for seven years pored over Blackstone,
Gritty and other legal authorities, when he was
admitted to the Bar, with much credit to himself
and the profession of Law! First rustic
youth, and then one of the first Judges of Mich
igan, speaks well for the man, and volumes for
selfcuture. Young man, have you desire to
be useful? do you love your country? Then
initiate the examples Of the distinguished per-
sons have mentioned, in practicng this bens-
fetal duty, and you will gain the approval of
en-, and the honor and esteem of your country
men. I'll.

On the first of January next commences a
New Series of this copious, comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper, which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing

complete, we think we may safely venture to say,

at the fountain head of novelty incident, litera-
ture. and foreign news the Home Journal is prin-
ed and published. Its editors, Geo. p Norris &
N. T. Willis,) devote their entire time, skill and
experience, TO the task of giving each week, every
thing worth knowing. They particularly keep an
eve on all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time, and careful portraits of the distinguished
public characters. In addition to this, the utmost
pains taken, by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour-
mails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris as will
eXceedinglingly instruct and amuse. We present
TO readers, the facts and outlines of all news
In our literary department, we aim at sketches and
and readable criticisms, and in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world Of England. we aim to avoid the tiresomc,
and the local and transfer TO our columns the pick
of English information and brilliancy while we en-
deavor TO select with n true sense of pure morals

above, we propose TO give, in the course OF the com
ing volume, one entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz
A Series of Returned Love Letters. This being
species Of composition that interests all readers,
we trust TO make the numbers of the Home Jour
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever. We have also new correspon-
