Is IL Home 2

In travelling over the State, have you evs
er found house with hog pen in front Of it,
an unseemy worm fence round a door yard
covered with chips, and spout protruding
through the side of the house, to carry dish
water to the road, forming pool for tho
refreshment Of travellers? If you have not,
you have not seen the whole world by long
shot, neither have you seen the whole State
of Ohio; for even in this enlightened day,
with the full effulgence Of the intellectual
sun beaming on us, there are dark corners
where such things exist If the hog pen is
not directly in front of the house, it is so
near that its odors neutralize all offensive
smells from the dwelling, and its inmates are
the first to welcome every visitor, by their
hoggish grunt. Not gate, nor even a pair
Of bars but the tenants and visitors nave to
practice gymnastics by leaping rickcty fence
at the risk of their clothes, saying nothing of
their lives; a door-yard full Of chips, if moth
ing else with pool Of dish-water in close
proximity, filed with potatoe skins, cabbage
leaves, and other refuse Of the kitchen,--
these offer the only charms that makes h0aaes
delightful
Now what are the effects, the consequences
Of such honest Associations for the mind
and the man. Children brought up in such
a place have no taste for the beautiful but
their minds, habituated to loathsomeness, be-
come themselves loathsome, their habits filthy
and their manners disgusting.
How different from those whose breath was
drawn in the fragrance Of the rose and the
honey-suckle that climb around the windows
Of the paternal home, and whose first vision
was cast on the lawn stretching around tho
house, Here every sense is RECALLED and cul-
tyated, the sight with lawn and flowers, the
smell with their fragrance, the hearing with
the chirp of the robbin and the hum of the
humming Bird as they reycl in the howery
paradise, and the feeling and taste with the
surroundings Of the beautiful Home has n
charm for them found nowhere else Tho
harsh asperities of nature are softened, and
the heart is moulded by the associations

OyE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARs.-Gali-

following;
BY the orders of the Bishop of Meaux
the lead coffin, recently discovered contain
ing the mortal remains of Bossuct, was open
ed on the l4th inst The head was found
covered with four fold of linen, which was
soon cut away with pair Of scissors, and
the features were then seen They were
much less changed than might have been ex-
pected, considering that the body has been
buried one century and a half The head
was leaning little to the right, like to that
of person asleep, and Il left part of the
face was exceedingly well preserved, and at
once reminded the lockers on of Rigaud's
portrait of the deceased The mouth was
open, the eyes shut, the nose somewhat fallen
in, the lair white The skull had been sawed
across, so as to allow the brain to be taken
away, in order to let aromatic substance be
placed in its stead. An artist, who was
present, took a sketch of the face as it ap-
peared when the coffin was opened.

Rev. Dr. CRoLY on NEWSPAPERS The
newspaper, the most influential of all human
works, is the creation of printing 1t has,
Ike all the works of man, occasional imper-
fectons, and perhups the most prominet are
its too minute details of offences against pub
lie purity. But there is scarcely newspa-
per of the present age which would not have
been regarded as a triumph of ability in the
last. In fact, the newspaper is the great
practical teacher of the people It's constant
and universal teaching alone accounts for the
superior intelligence Of our population. =
Schools, lecture-rooms, and universities, i'm
portant as they all are, altogether fall behind
it in public effect, or find that to retain their
influence, they must follow its steps. Those
steps may now and then turn from the right
road but their native tendency is forward and
upward This intellectual giant always adj
vances, and carries the country with him to a
height which no other country, ancient or
modern, ever obtained, or perhaps ever hoped
to attain. If in an age of foreign conyu-
son England has undergone no catastrophe; !;
if in the fall Of monarchies she has pseseryed
her hereditary throne-if in the mingled in
fidelity and superstition of the continent
(Which, like the mingled frenzy and fetters of
lunat;c hospital, have in our day exhibited
the lowest humiliation in nature) she has pre-
served her freedom and religion-I attribute
all, under God, to the yigor and intelligence
of public investigation, the incessant urgency
of appeal to the public mind, the living or
