" Homes a Fool to this Place.


" Homes a fool to this place" was heard
to go from the lips of one to another of set
of young "sports,' as they sat around the
gaming table, rcvelling in all the luxurics of

Homes fool to this place, eXclams the
young blood, when he walks up to the bar
and calls for glass of "redcyc.' Homes
fool to this place. says the professional
loaicr, as he throws himself back upon his
oars, seemingly unconscious that he is ii dronc
IN society, that subsists upon the charity and
hospitality of his bcttcrS. When | hear a
fellow talking in this way, | am made to
think that he is lost to every sense of a no
Die quality, and near the verge of ruin
Home | cannot forget that sacred name
homc will never forget that hallowcd SPOT.

mains as fresh and vigorous as it was at
ilrSt. Orators have been inspired by it, and
have poured out streams of eloqucnce on the
subject OF home, and yet it is not exhausted.
1t Is word around which are associated
! every emotion of tCndcrncss-cyery scnti-
mcnt OF loyc-every impulse of a noble
character, and every rcminisccncc of friend

and pure innocent cnjoymcnts-a word that
is never forgotten by any one possessing one
single good quality. The man who forgcts

his BOSOM and is therefore fit subject for
The commission of the most atrocious acts
OF crlmnality No, dear home, can nev-
or forget thee, nor those beloved objects con-
centratcd around thy iireside. A mother is
there to whom am indebted for my being,
and for every carly impression of truth and
virtue. Sweet little Kitty is there, and FL
len, and Parmela, and Jasper, and Willie,
and Old Iom-cat gently seated near the fire
screen, and the old cricket merrilv chirping
away in the jam are there. All the objects
OF endearmcnt and affection, whose shadows
are this moment cast before me, and | would
fain be one in their midst. Miserable must
be the one who has forgotten home and
more miserable indeed must be the one who
has no place he can call home
II any one has straycd so far as to have
forgotten home, let him pause fora moment
and think of the days Of his childhood. and
the old family mansion and its inmates he
will be none the worse for having thought
seriously on the subject. Mount. lIcssenger.

thus behold lovely girl, in the tender
ness OF her years, forSake the house of her
childhood and the implicit confidence and
the seli-abandonment, which belongs to wo-
men, giving up all the world for the man of
their choice ; when hear, in the good old

poorer, in sickness and in health, to love,
honor, and obey, till death us do part" it
