obtain sufficient evidence to warrant the sci

owners. These men. probably less than three

ument-the Declaration of Independence.
That instrument has hitherto commended
itself to the affections of our people, and to
the admiration of the lovers of liberty, all
over the globe, as the great charter and ex-
Fponent of universal humanity. 1t has in
spired us with our purest and noblest ideals,
and it has furnished to oppressed people else
where their frmest grounds of hope. But,
if it were only what the Chief Justice of the
United States declares, an outgrowth of the
mean and miserable prejudices of race
if it had no loftier motive than the consecra-
ton of a class-supremacy, if, in word, the
unqualified language of it is fallacious, and
wherever it speaks of all men it means only
certain men-then it is shorn of its glory;
mankind have been deceived in it; and we,
as nation, had better spurn it away from
us, or trample it ten thousand feet under
the earth. But it is not so; the minds and
the hearts of the whole world have not been
deceived; the Declaration of Independence
means what it says; and, in spite of all the

Beautifx Your Home.

There are two kinds of beauty; one Is out
ward, the other is inward. The outward
beauty of home is in pleasant grounds, walks,
shrubbery, flowers, trees, rooms, furniture,
pictures, and whatsoever can render it agree
able to the eve, and suggest happy and vir
tuous thoughts to the mind. Of this kind
of beauty we have much, in and about our
houses. A vine arbor, flower bed, grass
plat, a rose bush, gravel walk, shade tree,
a pleasant yard, are easily had, especially by
| farmers and villagers. No one with hands
and health, should be without such adorn
ments to his home. A child even, can plant
a flower seed, OF shrub: and if properly
taught and encouraged, will be glad to engage
in such pleasant iabers. In odd morning
and evening hours how much may be done
/ to beautify ones home. If every week adds
a little and every year more, how mach will
be done, in and about ones dwelling. to give
| it an air of cheerful beauty. And of all
beauty, that which is natural is most to be
admired, such as grows, bears and blossoms
But if outward beauty is within the reach
of all. how mach more is inward beauty l.
In household. how beautiful is a good hus
band, wife, brother, sister, father, mother
and child. How beautiful are pleasant faces.
and sympathising hearts, How beautiful
are honesty, sincerity, good will, generosity,
kindness, sympathy, affection. How beau
tiful is religion as it speaks in words of love
and prayer, and glows in acts of benevo-
lence and forgiveness. What outward adorn-
ment can compare with the grace of chaste
and loving heart or the charms of kind
and honest life?

dwell in them. We make our own houses,
or help make them. The beauty that is in
them or about them is of our own making,
at least in part. If they lack beauty, it is
our own fault. Beauty, both outward and
inward, is within our own reach. 1t is an
attainment we may allpossess.
What object in life is more commendable
than to beautify our homes? What is home
but the spring source of all that is great and
good in human life. Here are born and
reared the worlds children, its great and
good men and women, philosophers, philan-
thropists, statesmen, scholars and christians.
Out from home 60 all the best and hottest
influences that bless mankind. Into the
heart of home flow the treasures of the
world, the products of its labors.
For home we all live and toll, more than
for all else of the earth. Why then should
it not be beautiied? 1t is clear to my mind
that the best religion in the world is that
which grows and thrives best at home; so
that out from home goes the virtues, loves
and spirits that constitute and people heaven
w hat else then is more glorious to live for
than to beautify our homes? In so doing
we are sowing seeds which shall grow in
heaven. We are planting virtues which shall
bear fruit among angels. Then let our
homes be beautifed both with outward and
inward adornment; we shall thereby be bet
ter and happier. and goodness and happi-
ness will give us wisdom Valley Farmer.
