DOMESTIC PIETY-If there be one curse more
bitter than another to man, it is to be the OIL
spring of an irregular home of home where
the voice of praise and prayer ascend not to God,
and where the ties of human affection are not
purified and elevated by the refining influence OF
religious feeling; Of home to which,i the cares
or sorrows of life shall bring religion to the heart
in after days, that heart cannot turn without
bitterness of feeling, without anguish and vexa-
tion of spirit. If there be a curse to any coun-
try where the truths of religion are known, the
deepest and bitterest curse which can be inf1ict-
ed on it is multitude Of homes like the one
which | have supposed. Such homes sent forth
their sons unchecked in evil thought, t,nnhallowed
in their habits, and untaught in the love OF God {:
the name and cross of Jesus Christ stamped on
their foreheads, but not written in their hearts.
and they send them forth to prey upon the land,
and to become its curse and destruction. But on
the other hand there is a blessing to the relig
ious home, which no tongue can describe. The
home where in early years the heart is trained
to o love of God, and to take pleasure in hia
worship and service interviewer with the exist
ence of many holy affections whicl; die not with
the circumstances that gave them hirtli-whIcl!
last long, though they may be for season tor
rotten and neglected, and which shall exercise
at least some check upon the evil of the human
heart and often, nay, commonly, recall it to
hear again the word Of God, and turn to the
paths of holiness and peace. How great, how
unspeakal]e, is the happiness of land whose
homes like this are common.

A FAST MAH-One of the New York dailies
II. Huntington the last Wall street forger and
tnancier
"The career of Huntington has been like o
display of fire works-brilant, but evsnescent.
For little while he spent money like water
He had six or eight horsest two pairs of carriages
for himself and wife, and several fast trotters.-
His sideboard was brilliant with massive plate.
fIe was q great man at Saratoga, Niagara, and
Rockaway, where his wife had more trunks and
diamonds than any one else; and in town he
kept up two matrimonial establishments, ops
regular and the other irregular-one Christian
home. the other Mohammedan seraglio-one
according to the laws of New York, and the
other according to the customs OF the Morlnons
within few doors of each other. He was q
prince for an hour People ate at his dinners,
drove his horses, drank his wine. borrowed his
money, and wondered low he got it all. But
the crash came at last and what are all his form
er splend0rs compared with his present position
He bought his Injuries at tremendously high
prices.
The first trace that we can find of Mr.. Hunt
ngton's connection with financial matters, dates
back only so far as 1862, when he and two or
three other individuals fell into the hands Of the
police of New York city, for the share which
they had in getting up fraudulent sbinplaster
concern under the title of the "Anacostia Bank
of Washington, D. c." Indictments were found
against him and his accomplices on that occs-
sion, but they were never brought to trial on
account Gas appears from some endorsement on
the billy of some intorrnality or incompleteness
of the proof"

POETRY.
The Family Altar.

The Family Altar.
Come to the place ofprayerl
Parents and children come and kneel before
Your God, and with united hearts adore
Him whose alone your life and being are.
Come to the place prayer!
Ye band of loving hearts o come and raise
With one consent, the grateful song of praise,
To hum who blessed you with lot so fair!
Come in the morning hour
Who hath raised you from the dream of nights
Whose hand hath poured around the cheering light:
Come adore that kind and heavenly power!
Come ut the close of day.
Ere wearied nature sinks in gentle rest
Come. and let your sins be here confessed;
Come, and for his protecting mercy pray.
Has sorrows whitening blight
Your dearest hopes in desoation laid
And the once cheerful home in gloom arrayed?
Yet pray, for He can turn the gloom to light.
Has sickness entered in
Your peaceful mansion? then let prayer ascend
On wings of faith, 10 that all gracious Friend,
Who came to heal the bitter pains Of sin.
Come to the place of prayer
A. morn, at nIght-in gadness or In grief
Surround the throne of grac.; there seek relief,
Or nay your free and grateful homage there.
So in the world above
Parents and children all may meet ut last,
When this your weary pilgrimage is past,
To mingls there their joyful notes of love.

The total cost of the furs imported this year
into the country was 81 ,92s 000-more by some
s4oO, 900 than last year. Many of these furs
are the skins of American animals, killed here,
sent to Germany and sold at the immense an.
nual sales held at Frankfort. They are thus dis.
tributed through France, Prussia, Germany and
England where they are dressed, and returned
to this country-but in such n shape that their
original owners certainly would not know them,
were they alive. The furs receive, in addition,
very fanciful names during their sojourn in Eu'
rope Thus the common gray fox becomes "Sll'
yer Fox" The hide of tortoise shell grimal,
kin becomes transformed into Golden Coney.'
Prairie wolf gets transformed into Siberian
Bear" Mink becomes real Russian Martin,
&c, &c. The tricks in the fur trade are perhaps
as extensive as in any other for example, ai,
most any lady purchasing Lynx mutf would
have nothing but natural colored black one;
she would not want it dyed at all; now, when
it is considered that a 'black" lynx is perhaps
greater curiosity than "a white crow" it would
strike one at once that the dealer must be "sell-
ing" the customer as well as the merchandise
when he is disposing Of Natural Black Lynx
Mufs."

During January, 1850, while stopping at the
Sutter House, in Sacramento friend OF ours
(says the Spirit of the Times) overheard con-
versation between two gentlemen, one OF whom
was from New York City. and had been in the
country nearly year, and the other had just
arrived. The new conner was lamenting, his con,
dltion and his folly, in leaving an abundance al
home, and especially two beautiful daughters
who were Just budding into wolnanhood, when
lie asked the New Yorker if he had family
"Yes, sir; have wife and six children IN New
York. and never saw one Of them" After this
reply the couple sat few moments In silence
then the interrogation again commenced: was
YOU ever blind, sirl' mo, sir" Did you
marry a widow, sirs" "No, sir" Another lapse
Of silence. did understand you to say, SIR
that Won had wife and six children living III
New York, and had never seen one of them q
Yes. sir. so stated it." Another and longer
pau,e of silence. Then the interrogation AGAIN
inouired: How can it be, sir, that you never
saw one of themf" Why was the responS,e,
"one of them was born after left" "Oh! ah !!
and general laugh followed; and after that th'
New Yorker was especially distinguished as TIT
nIsn WHO ''had six children and never saw one
Of theln."

THE LAWYERS SAINT--Evona, lawyer or
Brittainny, went to Rome to entreat the Pope
to give the lawyers patron saint. The rope
replied that he knew no saint not already dis
posed of to some other profession. His Holiness
however proposed that he should 60 round !, TO
the Church of Gioyannia di Laterano bllndtoid-
ed, and, after saying number of Ave Marlas,
the first saint that he laid hold Of should be ms
patron. This the good old lawyer undertook;
and at the altar of ST. Michael, where ne laid
hold Of, not the saint, but unfortunately, the
devil under the saints feet, crying out: This Is
our saint let him be our patron"

INAUGURATION IN VERMoNT-The following
Green Mountain anecdote is too rich to he lost
"A big, strappag negro STOPPED, last week, at
the Pearl street House, in Burlington, W., in
company with very interesting white woman,
whom he claimed as his wife. She was accord
ingly shown to her chamber, while Ebony was Civ
ing orders relative to his baggage, &c. At length
hs enQuired of the landlord, who had but that
moment come in, for his wife. After consldera-
ble search and inquiry, he told his darkness that
no such woman was to be found, below or above,
that there was but one lady stranger in the
house, and she was a fine looking lady Of the
pure Ango-Saxon stock.
"Well," says the negro, ''that's my wife,
The landlord, on recovering from this stag
gering announcement, went straightway TO the
lady's room to make inquiry as to the truth OF
the negros story. He informed her that "a big,
fat, greasy niger" was below, and claiming her
to be his wife.
every we'll, said she, ~ am his wife, BE
is my husbsndl"
II the assertion of the negro was staggering,
that of the lady was a perfect knock down,
which the lady Observing said, with roeuish
twinkle of the eye
"Why, that's nothing, compared with what
my sister did"
'"Then, for Gods sake" said he, 'do pray tell
me what your sister did
