Home Influences.

The relation Of brother and sister
in its Kindly influences upon the human
heart, is scarcely exceeded by those other
sacred relations Of husband and wife,
or parent and child. What more pleas
ing spectacle can be presented 10 con-
templatiye mind than that of united
aad aUectiouate circle Of brothers and
sisters, assisting in each others success,
and sympaihyzing in each others mis-
fortunes
The influence OF an ailectionate and
gentle sister has saved many young
man from career of folly. perhaps
crime; for when temptations present
themselves stronger than he alone can
bear. the image OF sister, gentle and
conidlng. comes up before his mind. and
The idea of what she would suffer in
case of his downfall overcomes the
temptation "like a summer cloud"
The declaration of young man who
was the pride Of an humble home. and
one OF large circle OF brothers and sis
tiers, is we'll worthy of recording.

I came TO the home of my childhood's love;
In its Silcut halls stood,
Where of played with heart gay
AS the wild birds of the wood.

And old familiar things
Were around me, and the past came back
Stirring my hearts deep springs.
] was again where in hours of hope
| had loamed, a happy child,
And traced 20 lis dark and hidden source,
The mountain streamct wild.

OF brighter, happier years,
Which roamcd with q heart untouched by grief,
And cheek nnbianched by tears
Beneath the bough Of the waving trees
That shade my fathers door
lay me down on the sunny grass
My toll and journey DER,
To gaze ON each beloved scene,
As in my youths sweet hours;
For all was fair and beautiful
As oriental bowers.
There was the greenwood stretching FAR
The sweety rpl.lng stream;
My own bright flowers, and mountain high
Bathed in the suns broad beam
All, all were there, unchanged by time,
Just as in by-gone days!
Tut I, alas! was net The anne;
For all hopes promised rays,
Were darkened by the gloom of years,
BY sorrow, care and pain
SiCil was IIlc HedTt Illdl brought Dack,
To my early home again.
And il clouded with its sombre hue,
The bright things round Inc there;
And home and all lcved objects wore
The livery Of despar
Aye! there il was! my sunny home
In all its loycliucss,

Its we1nown threshold press.
But where was Ill the thrilling Joy
That | had thought to know,
When after years, long years OF pain
And toll AID change, and woe,
sought n y fathers peaceful hail.
To rest me as of yore?
Aias nor rest nor peace viii e'er
Bless my worn spirit more;
For am chaagel--my heart no more
With wanted raptIre ylows!
And often er my vanished dreams,
The tear Of sorrow flows.
Home, fare thee well last last fare well,
And hope and joy, adiea!
Ye are but phantoins OF the brain,
False, lovely ald untrue. VIRGINIA.
