BEAUTIFULLY SAID.-We make the follow.
ing beautiful extract on a Homestead Exemp-
tion law, from a letter written by a distin.
guished Judge of Tennessee :
Secure to each family whose labor NAV
acquire it, a little spot of free earth that It
may call its own-that will be an asylum in
times of adversely, from which the mother
and the children, old age and infancy, can
stilt draw ~sustenance, and obtain protection,
though misfortune may rob them of all else,
and they feel they are still free, still entitled
to walk the green earth, and breathe the free
air of heaven, in defiance Of the potency and
power OF accumulated wealth, and the do
mlneering of the pretending and ambitious.
The sacredncss of that consecrated spot will
make them warriors in times of external
strife. These shocks of corn said Xenoph-
on, inspire those who raise them to defend
them. The largest of them in the field is a
prize exhibited in the middle of the stage to
crown the conquerer.' Secure a home to ey-
cry family whose labor ma obtain one,
against the weakness, vices or misfortunes
OF the fathers, and you will rivet the affection
OF the child in years Of manhood by a strong
er bond than any consideration that could
exist He will remember where be gambol-
ed in hs early youth, the streams upon whose
lowry banks he felt a mothers love, and the
green spot within that little homestead where
sleep the loved and the lost"
