Bcautify fGur Homes,

Every man should do his best to own a
home. The first money he can spare ought
to be invested in dwelling, where his family
can live permanently. Viewed as Il matter
OF economy. this is important not only be-
cause he can ordinarily build more chcaply
than he can rent, but because Of the expense
caused by frequent change Of residence. 4
man who early in life builds home for him
self aud family, will save some thousands OF
dollars in the course Of twenty years. besides
avoiding the Inconvenience and trouble OF
removals. Apart from this, there is some
thing agreeable to our better nature in having
Il home that we can call our own. 1t is form
of property that is more than property. 1t
speaks to the heart, enlisS the sentiments
and cnnobcS the posSesSor. The associations
that spring up around it, as the birthplace of
clIIldrcn,-as the scene Of lies hottest emo
tions-as the sanctuary where the spirit
chershes its purcst thoughts, are such as all
value; and Whenever their influence is exert
ed, the moral Sensbilitics ale improved and
exalted. The greater part of our happiness
in this world is found at home; but how few
recoilrct that the happiness Of to-day is in
creased hy the place where we were happy on
yesterday, and that, inSrnsibly, scenes and
circumstances gather up Il store Of b!esScdncss
for the weary hours Of the future On this
account We should do all in our power to
make nome attractive. n OF only should we
cultivate such tcmpcrS rs serve to render its
Intercourse amiable and aitccionate, but we
should strive 10 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 home cannot be
bcautiiicd without considerable outlay Of
money. Such people are in error. Il costs
little to have neat flower garden, and to sur
round Your dwelling with simple beauties
which delight thccyc far more than expensive
objects. Ifyou will let the sunshine and the
dew adorn 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 wtlcred tree twincs the graceful vinc.-
A thousand arts she parctiScs to animate the
senses and please the mind Follow her
example, and do Tor yourself what she is al
ways laboring TO do for you. Beauty is
divine instrumcntaity. 1t is one of Gods
choseniorms olpowcr. Wcucyer see creative
energy without something beyond mere cxis-
tencc, and hence the whole universe is IA
teacher and insprcr OF beauty. Every man
Was born to be an artist, so far as the apprc-
citation 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 benc-
fccnt purpose Of his creation.

FISHES TRAVELLING BY LAND.-Dr. Han
cock, in the Zooio21cm Journal, gives dts-
cnptlon Of fish called the lat-head hassar,
that travels to pools Of water when that in
winch 1t has resided dries up. Bose also
describes another variety which is found in
South Carolina and, if our memory serves Us
well, also in Texas, which like the hat-head
leaves the drying pools III search of Others
These fishes. filled with water, travel by
night, one with a lizard. like motion and the
other leaps. The South Carolina and Texas
varieties are furnished with a membrane
over the mouth by which they are enabled
to carry with them supply Of water to keep
their glls moist during their travel. These
fishes, guided by some peculiar sense, always
travel in straight line to the nearest water
This they do without the aid of memory, for
1t has been found that if tub filled with
water is sunk in the ground near one of these
pools which they inhabit, they will, when
the pool dries up, move directly toward the
tub. Surely this is a wonderful and mcrcifu
provision for the preservation Of these kind of
fishes; for inhabiing, as they do, only stag.
nant pools, and that too in countries subject
to long and periodical drouths, their races
would but for this provision, become extinct
