TO PART WITH 4 HOME.

How often IS it the case, when we are
all compelled 20 say farewell mother. |
am going on journey, bat il afn bless
ed with health and prosperity, | will re-
turn to the home of nay childhood. We
then clasp the withered hand that has toll
ed hard for Us, and say fareweif my motif
er. We then see the tears coming to the
eyes ,het has watched over US, from the
cradle up, and trinkling down the care
worn check, that has withered from the
toiisome days spent over Us, and then hoar
has come when we can experience the
pang that it gives our hearts to say fare
well my mother.
We bid farewell to our home and all
around and star, on our journey. We look
with watering eyes as long as we can dis
cover anything that is familiar-soon ali
has passed from our view; all that is dear
on earth TO us is left behind. We pause
for a moment and ask ourselves the gues-
ton, why we leave our mother, and rela-
tons, and plant our destiny in a different
land and among strangers? 4 low faint
whispers steals out and says, seeking some
place where we can make money and live
happy,-seemingly destitute OF the knowl-
! edge that the farther we go the more mis-
cradle we become. We imag gine at times
we can see our old homestead-it looks
more beautiful than any around US; others
may be much finer, but they are nothing
in our estimation when compared with the
one left behind.
! We soon arrive q. the spot we started
! fort is not the place we expected to fin,
tive see 10 familiar faces that we 5.
often met with at home. We become al
most disguised with our move-all aroun'
us are SO difiert from what we have beel
used to that i. renders us almost miserable
! We visit places of enjoyment; but 6nt
nothing that can make US feel as thougl
we were surrounded by those we left be
Lind-nothing that can makes us feel th
slightest sensation of happiness. Ever
thing becomes shrouded with gloom an
darkness, and even the cheerful peals G
laughter seem to us as though they wer
drawn from sorrows urn. Our loved oil
home presents itself. We can see th
beautiful green fields. and the lofty oaks
that surround the only spot that seems ther
dear to US, and everything else looks darl
and gloomy.
| We remain in this strange land an
await a change, which will certainly al
pear. Gloom after gloom disappear, frien
after friend appear, and soon you will in
anime that your last found home is super
OF to any other. o. o.

RuiIdine With yet Brick.

We notice III an exchange paper a par
agra ph upon this subject, which We think
OF considerable importance TO builders
Il Is stated. on what is considered good
authority, that of experience, that wall
twelve inches thick. built of good mortar
with bricks well soaked, is stronger, in ev-
cry respect, than one sixteen inches thick
butt dry. The reason of this is, that If
the bricks are saturated with water, they
will not abstract from the mortar the niois-
ture which is necessar ry 10 its erystalization
but, on the contrary, they will chemically
unite with the mortar and become as solid
as "a rock, On the other hand, If the bricks
are ptd up dry, they Immediately take all
the moisture from the mortar leaving it
too dry to harden, and the consequence is.
that when a building Of this description is
taken or tumbles down OF It's own ac-
cord, the mortar from i is like SO much
sand.
There is, no doubt much truth in this
assertion. The great absorbent power Oh
banked clay naturally accraes injuriously
on mortar, and the consequence is insecure
and dangerous walls. In our opinion NJ
building should De erected in the city. the
walls Of which would not stand firmly i
deprived Of the support of the joist; ant
what wall Will do this If the adhesive
properly Of the mortar is destroyed by the
absorption OF moisture from ii by the bricl
before it has time to harden? Our build
ers would do well to give this subject thei
