Home. Sweet Home.

Is the paradise Of infancy. the tower OF
defence to youth, the retreat for manhood,
the refuge of old age. Hecollections clus-
ter around ito, how thickly! Enjoy
ments are tasted there, whose relish never
dies from the memory. Affections spring
and grow up there through all the turns
and overturns Of life, It's early innocence
has kindled anew the flame Of virtue al
most smothered beneath the heavy mass OF
foAfies and crimes.
The visions of home has come upon the
soul of him who was dying in foreign
land, and made him feel that he could die
willingly could he but breathe his last in
the midst of tender looks, the tender
voice of home.
The thought of this one spot has pun
courage into the heart. power into the arm
that has driven back the invader from the
land, or else led men freely to moisten
with their blood the soil they could not
save.

G<5" a farmer in Illinois, on the Great
Prairie, where wood is not 10 be had and
where coal is worth thirty cents a bushel,
and corn the same, got out Of fuel while
the roads were SO bad that he could not
haul coal, and in the emergency of the
case tried burning corn in the ear in his
stove in place of coal, and found that he
not only succeeded, but that it was actu-
ally cheaper to burn corn than coal, and
that 1t not only mnkes hot fire but a
cleaner one than coal.

Ifhearts, by fond affection tied,
Should chance to slip away,
This little flower will gently chide
The heart that thus could stray.
All other flowers, when once they fade,
Are left alone to die

Will hive in memory's sigh.

walking through the streets OF city on foggy
morning. Every one fances that Immediately
around himself there is litte or no fog, but around
others, at little distance from him, he perceives 1t

precisely similar mistake about themselves and
him; each deeming it quite clear where he himself

~
In the silent midnight watches,
In the solemn hush of night,
When the soul communes with spirits
From the upper world of light;
Then it was, awake or dreaming,
On the winds spirit came,
Like the sound of many waters,
And a voice that none can name.
" Mortal - cried that spirit, breathing
Thrilling whispers to the air;
"Listcn to the words of wisdom,
Look around thee, see and hear"
Then l heard n tale of wonder,
Then saw a broad domain,
Where the congregated thousands
Built city on the plain.
"'T was a vast, full peopled city,
Far the mightiest of the earth,
Daily growing, gathering thousands,
Whatsoe 'er their name or birth.
There the proud, the meek, the learned,
Rich and poor, and bond and free,
Young and old, in bonds fraternal,
Meet in perfect unity.
"Quiet dwells within that city.
Strife and mammon enter not;
Calm it seemed as holy Sabbath,
Every dome a holy spot,
None for love or lucre leave 1t,
None rebel against its laws;
Never yield they to the Tempter,
For the Tempter gives no cause!
"Streets and alleys int:rsecting,
Laid with geometric art,
Witnessed 70 the love of order,
Both ofhead and chastened heart
Marble rnansicna shonc by moonlight,
Every portal bore name;
But no sound of Voice or footstcp
Thence from street or mansion.
There stood amazed and musing,
Whether sleeping or awake;
When to me mcthought the spiri.
In ecntler accent spake:
Speaking in expressive silence,
Speaking to the soul in might:
Mortal , lift the eye. be manful
Out Of darkness comcth light.
See an oasis of beauty
Nlida barren world of strife
See city free from folly,
Anger ills, and jars of life
Not a soul disturbs his neighbor,
All the evil passions fled !;
Mortal why? There is no raking,
IT'S TIE CITY OF TIE DEAD"
