Mr.. Edward Bates, one of the most promn.
ent lawyers and wsest statesmen of the West
thus wrote few days since to committee of
the Missouri Legislature who invited him to
become candidate for the United States
Senate:
"My habits are retired and domestic, and all
my sources OF happiness are at home"
Well indeed was it for him that it was so,
and well indeed for others! Mark the difference
between the home. made character and that
which is made out of DOORS History, with its
coarse pen, dwells, it is true, almost exclusive
ly on the latter class, but in that great book
in which the incidents of all real life are writ-
ten, how predominant will be the former! The
example of gentle tenderness at the fire side
or manly and yet delicate adherence to truth
of severe honesty in private business--when
coupled with such eminent success as that Of
Mr.. Bates, tells on the community far more
efiectually than the dashing exploits of the
general or the brilliant oratory of the senator.
Viewed either in personal or a public light,
the history Of the homemade man stands in
bold relief.
Il have watched two races Of politicians to
the grave" said late eminent jndge, "and have
seen nothing but vanity and wretchedness" 1t
is the fashion, it is true, to sneer at the sslow"
dullnesss of merely home life. But it is by
thefre-side that practical genius-that genius
which helps itself while helping others-takes
its origin. Watt was watching the pot boil in
the chimney when the action of the steam on
the lid brought home gradually to him the
great discovery which immortalized his name.
And this, indeed, may be taken as an apt illus
tration of that wonderful influence which
radates from the centre table where the chill
dren are gathered together under the light of
the astral lamp, and which leads to these sig
nal discoveries by the young philosopher--how
self conquest is the greatest Of all conquests
--how loving others is the best way of loving
self--and how the home made heart which, by
being Independent of the world, makes the
world both it's servant and its beneficiary
And then while home becomes thus the best
representation of heaven on earth, it becomes
the best preparation on earth for heaven.
The worldly man has no points--we speak
with reverence--at which divine grace can
reach him. Take away the object Of his ambi-
tion, and he is soured; add to it and he becomes
intoxicated. Send him sickness, and he only
writhes like the wounded snake. But the un-
sealing Of the home-heart by cutting off its
earthly objects of love, turns the foundation
of that love direct to heaven. The bereaved
soul looks its cherished and Heavenly parent
in the face all the more clearly because Of his
chastisement. Sacred indeed then is that
hearth fire whose presence gives happiness on
earth, and even whose extingushment serves
to open the vision to the eternal glory Of hea>
ven.

Ladies, Dresses.

The ladies' dresses are ballooning out to-
such an enormous size, that we are Informed
that the following colloquy took place in the
gardens Of the Tuileries, where It is the cus-
tom to charge sou for everg chair that is used:
u characterization has made mistake,
she has paid me only one sou.
Lody-Yes, my good woman, have only
occupied one chair.
Chairscomds-That Is true; but there were
two other chairs, one on each side Of Madame,
for the accommodation Of Madames' dress, and
that makes three sous.
Lody-Three soha! But it's scandalous!
Choirpoman--Far from that; can assure
Madame that lady only yesterday paid five
sous for the use of five chairs, and her dress,
am sure, was BY no means as fashionable a.
Madame's.
IThe three sous are paid contently, and
Madame rises, displaying as she retires the ut
most breadth Of her dress, which may be des-
crihed, without any exaggefation, as being
quite a. broad as it is long. .l-Punch.

The Car issued an order of day, thanking
the garrison of Sebastopol for the bravery they
displayed defending that stronghold to the
last, and declares he is convinced that all the
troops and officers are ready to follow their
example, sacrificing everything for the sake Of
