himself in HE fathers barn, with tho webbing

the deed. He was young man. and left a

child,-that chance might fling in my
way; practice which is friendly to
the knowledge Of human nature, to
good feelings, and to that frankness
of address which becomes man who
would be thought philosopher; for
a philosopher should not see with the
eyes of the poor lilnitary creature
calling himself man of the world,

MAKE A HoME.-We Americans.
as people, do less to render our
homes attractive than any other peo-
pie of equal means on earth. And
for this there is very much excuse.
We are rolling stones,'' which have
not yet found time to gather any
very graceful moss. We are on our
march from Western Europe to the
shores of the Pacific, and have halted
from time to time by the way, but
not yet settled. That sacred and
tender attachment to Home which
pervades all other human breasts has
but slender hold upon US. There are
not many of us who would not sell
the house over his own head if he
were offered good price for it. Not
one fourth of us now live in the houses
in which we were born; not half of
US expect to die in the homes we now
occupy. Hence we cannot be ex-
pected to plant trees, and train vines,
and set Towering shrubs, as we might
do if we had, in the proper sense of
the word, Homes. But we ought to
have Homes-we ought to resolve to
have them soon. / would say to
every head of a family, Whatever else
you may do or forbear to do, select
your home forthwith, and resolve to
abide by it. Let your next move, if
move you must, be inhexibly your
last. | would say to our Youth,
Never marry, never FIX upon any
place of abode or occupation, until
you shall have selected your Home.
If you will have it in Oregon or Cal
ifornia, so be it; but fix it somewhere,
and so soon as may beat least before
you form any other ties that promise
to be enduring. Though it be but a
hut on a patch of earth, let it be your
fixed home evermore, and begin at
once to improve and beautify it in
every hour that can be spared from
more pressing avocations and need
ful repose. So shall your later years
be calm and .tranquil-so shall you
realize and diffuse the blessedness
which inheres in that sacred temple,
Home Horace. Greeley.

Boz AND TITMARsH IN FRENCH

Iva AANO M IN l. hENCd.-
Forney's Press has the following:
"Of all English authors, Dickens
and Thackeray have hitherto been
considered the most untranslatable.
The free idiomatic expressions of
Dickens, and the peculiar orthogra>
ply which Thackeray SO much in
dulges in, (whether Yellowplush,
Jsames, or Captain Costigan, be the
medium, would seem to battle any
foreigner. We should like to see a
dialogue between Sam Weller and
his father "done into French.
However, it has been done, and we'll
done, too, if Dickens own endorse
ment be Of account. Monsieur Ha.
chstts, an enterprising Partisan pub
Usher, has just issued translations of
Dickens and Thackeray."
Tho same paper remarks that a
French version of Bulwer's "Last
Days of Pempeii has been announ-
ced. Bulwer, who dossanot pepper
bis dialogue with slang, and does not
elaborately put his words into bad
spelling, is easily translated. In
Germany every one Of his novels
is we'll known through this medium.
