BEAUTIFY Your HOME.-Everym man should do his
best to own a home. The first money which he can
spare ought to be invested in q dwelling, where his
family can live permanently. Viewed as q matter of
economy, that is important, not only because he can
ordinarily build cheaper than hecan rent, but because
of the expense caused by a frequent change of resi-
dence. a man who in early life builds a home for
himself and family, Will save some thousands OF dol
lars in the course of twenty years, besides avoiding
the inconvenience and trouble of removals. Apart
from this, there is something agreeable to our better
nature in having q home that we can call our own.
1t is a form of property that is more than property.
1t speaks to the heart, enlists the sentiments, and
ennobles the possessor. The associations that spring
up around it, as the birthplace of children-are the
scene of Hfe's hottest emotions-as the sanctuary
where the spirit cherishes its purest thoughts, are
sure as all value; and whenever their influence is ex-
erted, the moral sensibihties are improved and exalted.
The greater part Of our happiness of to-day is in
creased by the place where we were happy on yester-
day, and that, insensibly, scenes and circumstances
gather up a store of blessedness for the weary hours
ofthe future On this account, we should do all in
Our power to make home attractive. Not only should
we cultivate such tempers as serve to render it's inter-
course amiable and afEectionate, but we should strive
to adorn it with those charms which good sense and
refinement so easily impart to it. We say easily, for
there are persons who think that a home cannot be
beautihed without q considerable outlay of money.
Such people are in error. 1t costs little to have a
neat flower garden, and to surround your dwelling
with those simple beauties which delight the eye far
more than expensive objects. If you will let the sun
shine and dew acorn your yard, they Will do more for
you than any artist. Nature delights in beauty. She
loves to brighten, the landscape and make it agreeable
to the eye. She hangs the ivy around the ruin, and
over the stump of a withered tree twines the graceful
vine. A thousand arts she practices to animate the
senses and please the mind. Follow her example,
and do for yourself what she is always laboring to do
for you. Beauty is q divine instrumentality. 1t is
one of Gods chosen forms of power. We never see
creative energy without sonnet ing beyond mere exist
ence, and hence the whole universe is q teacher and
inSDirnr Of hnaTfy Evarv man was horn tn he nm
artist so far as the appreciation and enjoyment of
beauty are concerned, and he robs himself of one of
the precious gifts of his being if he fails to fulfil this
~benefcent purpose of his creation-Southern Times.

Oh but there were smiles and rejoicings that night
at widow Pease's, where, but for the brave heart of
Seth Peters, there had been wailing, despair, and
death ! It was long past midnight when Cyrus and
Enoch returned; and somehow their faces did not
look SO bright as when they left, and they settled
themselves down YEARLY by the fire, saying, "What,
mother, up watching for us all this time Well, we
havn't killed the bear, after all %
"No, but we have here, you see 20 was the old
woman's triumphant response; and, then, to their
CALCULATIONS of doubt and surprise, the old lady de-
tailed the whole story-indeed, she had sent Lefty to
bed half an hour before, for the exclusive enjoyment
of this pleasure. Cyrus. and Enoch listened In
amazed silence, and at the conclusion thus briefly,
and Enthusiastically expressed their opinion OF the
miller's heroism WALL now, if that don't beat
everything all hollow;''
Three days had passed 1t was a wild, sobbing
night, with one of those storms that furrow the sweet
face of April with wind, and drench it with tears.
This time the miller and Lefty Pease sat alone
together, in the ruddy birch freight of the old
kitchen, while the storm moaned and battled without.
"Well, Lefty, how did you get on with the sugar
boiling?' asked the young man, drawing his chair a
little nearer the girls.
"Oh, nicely, [ assure you, though 1 couldn't help
startling and looking round every time the wind STIR
red the branches !' and Lefty shuddered, for even in
the dancing freight, she seemed to see again those
wild eyes glaring upon her. "0h, Seth how can [
ever be grateful enough to you for taking care of me
then 2"
They miller drew his chair still closer to hers, and
his voice trembled in its deep tenderness as it answered,
81 should like to take care of you always, Letty.''
The girl must have forgotten at that time how very
nicely Mrs. Williams, the merchants wife, sounded,
for she laid her hand in that of Seth Peters, and the
birch flames, were not ruddier than her cheeks, as
she whispered, g You may, SETH
And through all her happy after life, we are very
certain Lefty Pease never regretted marrying the
millerinstead OF the merchant.-Arthur's Magazine.
