The Homestead.

How sacred the rccollections thai
cluster around the spot whore we wcrc
born the spot where first We learned
to look upon the beauties of naturc-the
green sward = the waving corn - the
stately tEee-and the little, clear bub
bling =pring at its root. from which, du-
ring the long, long days of summer
school, we slaked our thirst, or sought O
short relief from the tiresome, straight
backed school house bench; the rippling
brook, with its grassy bank, and speck
led trout, and little falls that turned the
tiny wheel. .-''.".- --'..- i-5aaj ...
The place where We first chased the
gay butterfly and timid "elipmunc;'
where first we tangled the gr;ss of the
mower by searching for the delicious
straw berry, and where first we pluckcd
the bright tempting cherry, the lucious
peach, the dainty pear, and the always
enduring and ever grateful apple.
Where, with brothers and sisters, and
little visiting friends, we had our play
house--our ovens of sand-our acorn
cups and saucers, and plates of broken
china, and made the miniature stately
calls and formal tea parties; and with
what stately stride we initiated the walk
of our elders in doing it; where we play
ed "keep school and preach" and an
on with hard back blossoms or cocker
els feather in our caps, We strutted
forth, the embryo defenders of our coun-
try's rights, the gallant volunteers.
The place where first we learned to
listen to the rapturous notes Of the free
happy orchard melodist-thc robin and
her associates to the chattering swallow,
and the plaintivc whippoorwill.
The place whore first We learned to
lisp the names of father and mother; and
to utter the first pure sentiments of fra
ternal love for brother, and for ''sister
dear
But above all, and more than all, the
spot where first the holy love of mother
taught our infant thoughts to revere,
and our. infant lips to pray, ':Our Father,
who art in Heaven" "
How intimately and indissolubly con-
nected with, how wholly enshrined up
on, the spot where we were born-the
old homestead--are all recollections of
the pure gushing joys of early years -
And who, in after life, can see stran-
ger lord of that manor, without a pang
of sorrow? Who would not then feel
that such possession is sacriligious?

I admire to hear old bachelors talk
about the weakness of women. l like
to hear them tell how she brought sin in
to the world, and about her inferiority
to man generally. 1t is very interest
ing theme, coming as it docs from their
lips, for they do tho subject eminent JUS
tice. But the poor fellows forget all
about the laws of hereditary descent
when they get upon their favorite hob
by. If men and women started six
thousand years ago, the one far superior
to the other, they would be likely to be
somcw here near on an equality by this
time. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes,
neither do weak minded women bear
strong minded men.
We wish old bachelors in future would
remember this, and also remember, when
they are harping their favorite tune, that
every sensible woman who listens, 1con-
ders what kind of mother, and what
kind of an education the poor man had ,
to take such a one sided view of his fel-
low beings And the pity he so lavish
fy pours upon her weakness, she is pour.
ing right back upon his If such old
bachelors wish to have their sentiments
appreciated, they must be careful aud
advance them only before their equals
and interiors; then, possibly, they may
stand chance to be considered wise,
prudent, and foresighted men, especial
y among those of their sex who have
caught snakes in the matrimonial net.
Remember in future, my bachelor
friend, that man receives his earliest
impressions from his mothers lips, and
when you speak so lightly, of woman,
the inference to be drawn is, that your
mother was not good specimen of her
sex. The conclusion is, you cannot
''gather grapes from thorns, or figs from
thistles. FLAG of our Union.
