THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home! how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall;
Aud from the lattice for it CLEANS, ..
To love, and rest and comfort call.
When wearied with the tolls Of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our names
Around the light at home.
- When through the dark and stormy night,
The .wayward wanderer homeward .hies:
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies.
1t is the light at home; he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The Joy and love that Danish care
Around the light at home.
The light at home! when ere at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm;
He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fled,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss,
But the sad tears which then she shed
viii now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around the light at home.
The light ut home! how still and sweet
-- 1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls Of day are Ger.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And lightens up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.

THE TOILET AND ITS DEvoTEEs


"Smilingly fronting the mirror she stands,
Her white fingers loosening the prisoned brown
bands
To wonder at willard they kiss, as they 60,
Her brow and her cheek, and her shoulders of
snow,
Her violet eyes, with their soft changing light,
Growing darker when sad, and when merry more
bright,
Look in at the image, till the lips Of the twain
Smile at seeing how each gives the smile back
again."
DEAN Swift proposed to tax female beauty,
and to leave every lady to rate her own
charms. He said the tax would be cheer
fully paid, and very productive.
The intimate relations between woman's
beauty and her toilet glass, render it impos'
sible for the fair possessor to be unconscious
of her endowment, and consequently it
would be always at a premium. We remem,
Der young surgeon once professed he would
any day prefer good dissection to good
dinner; we question his taste, and if the
dinner challenge were presented to US, in
behalf of beauty, we would greatly prefer to
accept it. A good dinner, it is true, makes
its appeal to the hungry, but a vision of
beauty is delectation to the eye, if less sub
stantial, far more refining.
Beauty is flexible. 1t appears to US a
dream when we contemplate the works of
the great artists; it is lowering, floating
and glittering shadow, whose outline eludes
the grasp of definition. Mendelson, the
philosopher, grandfather Of the composer,
and others, tried to catch beauty as butter
fly, and pin it down for inspection. They
have succeeded in the same way as they are
likely to succeed with butterfly. The poor
animal trembles and struggles, and its
brightest colors are gone; or, if you catch
it without spelling the colors, you have at
least stiff and awkward corse. But corse
is not an entire animal; it wants what is es-
sential to all things, namely, life-spirit,
which sheds beauty on everything.
Lord Bacon observed Justly, that the best
part of beauty is that which picture can
not express.
Beauty is indescribable and inexplicable; :;
it fascinates, dazzles, and bewilders us with
its mystic power. Woman has been defined
something midway between a flower and an
angel, as the sunny half of the earth. 1t
has been well said that woman's beauty does

TELL YOUR WIFE.

eS, Ilc ouIy way lSJ W lcil youi Mile
just how you stand. Show heryour balance
sheet Let her look over the items. You
think it will hurt her feelings. No, it will
not any such thing. She has been taught
to believe that money was with you, just as
little boys think it is with their fathers-ter-
ribly hard to be reached, yet incxhaustiblc.
She has had her suspicious already. She
has guessed you were not so prosperous as
you talked. But you have so befogged your
money affairs that she, poor thing! knows
nothing about them. Tell it right to her,
that you are living outside of your income
Take her into partnership, and I'll warrant
you'll never regret it. There may be a
slight shower at first, but that's natural.
Let her see your estimate when you come
home again she will show you that you have
put her bills too high. True she had rather
costly bonnet last winter, but it is Just as
good as ever; few shillings will provide it
with new strings and reft it little-the
shape, she says, is almost exactly as they
wear them now And you will be surpri-
sed to see how much less expensive she can
make your wardrobe. She will surpise you
with new vest-not exactly familiar, some
how, looking as if in another shape you had
seen it before-yct new as vest, and
scarcely costing dollar where you had al
lowed FIVE. Old cravats will experience q
renovation in her hands, coming out so re-
juvinated, that nobody but those who are
let into to the secret would suspect that
they arc old friends in new shapes. The
dressing gown that you were going to buy
out of what forgotten chest she has gathered
the material you cannot imagine-but there
it is comfortable and warm, and just the
thing you wanted for the long winter even
ings that are coming on as fast as the altman
ac will let them.
You will find wonderful change in her
tastes and appetite. Whereas, she always
faneied what was little out of seasons, or
just coming into market-now if beef is
dear, she thinks boiled mutton is delightful
as tender as chicken. If lambs rise, and
fish are plenty, she thinks striped bass, or
a friend sole good occasionally.
Before you have thought much about it,
you find yourself spending most Of your
evenings too, so full of domestic enjoyment
and frcside pleasures, that you will look
with wonder on the record of last years ex-
penses, and marvel that you found time or
relish for the costly entertainments that Sc
riously taxed your pocket. If, too like
many, your outgoes threaten to exceed your
incomes, be sure and tell your wife of it.
Not in tone or manner that will lead her
to think you don't want her to buy what is
really necessary for winter, but just as if
you wanted counsellor in the day of your
trouble. And if she does not come up,
heart and soul, and most successfully, to
your relief put me down for no prophet.

LAST ISLAND SUFFERERS.

Extract from letter written by lady re-
siding near Last Island, Louisiana. "People
are recovering in measure from the effects
of the storm. There never was seen in the
world a more awful calamity. You.would
hardly credit what could tell you concern
ing it. One of the rescued dined with US
the other day-a Mr. R., who had been CIV
en- up as lost irrecoverably A reward was
offered for his body, and friends mourning
for him, when by the strangcst chance he
was discovered. He had hoated upon a bill
lizard table and landed upon the marshes,
which, on this coast, are as uninhabitable as
the sea itself. There for ten days he subsist-
ed on snails and one dead rat, which came
swimming along too. There, in the blazing
August sun-not tree for miles and miles,
not shrub-nothing but the impossible
and impenetrable cane brake, he survived
every horror, and lived on lice
In the providence of his unsearchable Ma
ker, he was sought out by one solitary fish
ing boat and re-cued by its humane master,
who doubtless, m the generosity within
him, had been cruising about in the hope Of
doing some chance good. The scene which
occurred upon his unexpected arrival home,
was truly affecting. The news reached
home few moments before his own landing,
when every negro rushed from the planta-
tion, some jumped into the bayou and,sw
to meetthe boat. They shouted, nay, laugh
ed, danced, and seized their master by the
feet, legs, arms, neck and hands, kissed him
wherever they could touch him, he kissing
them in return. Atlast the overjoyed crea-
lures, elevating him upon their shoulders,
carried him off in triumph to the house. 1

Beecher, his sister and all his relatives, do

MWHAT is WOMAN 2n

We have never seen the question bette
than in the subjoined verses b,
''NIax," of the Spartanburg Express:
What is woman? Not n bauble,
Lightly to be toyed and played with;
But q partner of mans bosom,
Whom he goes through light and shade with
What is woman not the creature
OF day or joyous hour;
But Sun beam brightly cleaning,
When the darkest tempsstiower.
What is woman? Not the being
OF to-day or of tomorrow,
But through life the patient sharer
Of mans sunshine, Of maus sorrow.
What is woman? A fair flower
Whom our gracious God hath planted
In this bcau.cous Earthly garden,
Till in his own palace wanted.
What is woman? Eark the angels
Come their choral anthem singing,
While the golden bells of heaven,
Loud their joyous chimes are ringing!
Thus they're singing: She's an angel,
Sent to man from God above him
From the shining courts of glory,
And her mission is to lore him.

BE KIND TO YOUR WIFE.

Be kind to your wife. Think how in the
first blush of maiden beauty she turned aside
from the haunts of pleasure, and the caresses
of fond parents and brothers and sisters, to
follow your fortunes through the world
Think with what blended hope and agony
you followed her from place to place, watch
ing her every look, and pondering the mean
ing of her most careless tones, until, won by
your importantly, she placed her hand all
trustfully in yours and said, 81 am all your
