MEANS OF LIVING. The following excel
lent hints for the times we 6nd in the Boston
Courier:
Corn is cheaper and more nutritious than
wheat, and with proper care in the cooking
may be made as palatable, even for perma-
nent article Of food. Yet it is fact that it
is more used by the wealthy than by those
who need to economic. There are other
expenditures, such as tea, coffee, and tobacco,
which cost many poor families more than
their flour and meat. But those articles are
regarded as necessary luxuries. It's easy,
if the secret were known, and cheap, too, to
keep these bodies of ours alive, and in health

No HoME.-To those who dwell in the
sunny atmosphere of pleasant home, no
two words in the language are so full of
sorrowful meaning as these. Their casual
mention sends an icy chill through the
frame, and oppresses the spirit with a
strange overpowering sense of loneliness
and desolation.
Il have no home What host of
mournful thoughts that brief sentence
awakens No roof to shelter the weary
one when he seeks refuge from the storm
of misfortune; no freside where he can bask
in the genial glow of sweet influences; no
household band to welcome him cordially,
when other friends prove false, or hover
around his pillow, when his frame is racked
wish pain, and his brain thronged with de-
lirious fancies.
Oh, sad indeed is this, and from the
depths of our soul we sympathise with those
on whom such lot has fallen. But most
of all, we pity the young who have no
home. They gather their courage about
them as garment and go forth in the
cold pitiless world. To many such, life is
warfare; they are forced to struggle
against wind and tide; tosurmount obstacles
thousand fold more formidable than the
Hill of Difficulty. which frowned on Bun
yan's wayworn pilgrim to turn deaf eal
to syren voices, which would lure then
into the snares of error. Often they grow
faint by the way and sink down in despair
but Hope, that gentlest astrologer,' mur
murs such bright prophecies that the,
once more move on.
To those, who are thus situated, W
| would fain offer few words of encourage
: ment. Do not despond, however gloom
your prospects may be; remember tina
i good old proverb, 1t is always darkest jus
t before day Have faith that light will "

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE

DEAR AGE: How wond nrful are the
changes of a few short years! But recently on
the ground where the little town of San Ma
reas. Texas, now stands. was the place where
the savages would stop and leave the wo-
men, children and old men of their tribe to
remain till the warriors would return from
their deeds of destruction, inflicted upon
the settlements below; and when they
would assemble once on the banks of the
San Mareas, they would halt and rest ir Sc
curity, before taking their fight to their al
most impenetrable home. among the noun
tains. But the spirit of Americans is not to be
checked and held in submission; for after the
annexation ofTexas, the above named place
became station for the Rangers. Then
could be seen the proud flag of Uncle Sam
waving over the brave sons Of the frontier.
The red man could no longer rest in safety
in this region, but his place of repose was
moved far into the mountains. The cabin
of the white man was then placed in the
place of the wigwam, and now the rude
cabin is supplanted by the more stately
mansions that rear their proSld fronts.
But more, Mr.. Editor few years ago
in the the East, as ine IS as.s~d isstas-se luminary 81
Heaven seems to do, and advancing slowly
onward, till at length its benign influence
has reached our far-of western cline; and
expelled much of moral night. This Star
first appeared in the shape Of the Order
of the Sons of Temperance this Order
has done much good in the land when
however it first came among US, many
of the moralists did not believe that it was
right, many thought that it was taking the
liberty that our fathers fought for-indeed
members of the Church were opposed to its
principles. But there were some that wrote
on for charters and at length the cause of
humanity prevailed. This Order has pre-
pared the minds of the people for the
mighty conflict that is soon to take place in
Texas-the great struggle for Prohibition
against the license system. This is indeed
a progressive work for if a man had got
up in our midst and proposed to prohibit
the sale of spirituous liquor few years ago
he would have been put to death Such il
the changes of public opinion, and happy
changes they are. Tenn perance Lecturer
are now canvassing the State proclaimine
the benefits of prohibition, and we all hop
next August to elect Temperance men t
, represent us in Legislative halls of thi
, State. Yours in L. P. &F.
