Happy Homes.

Let it be our object to multiply thenumber
of virtues and happy homes. The domestic
hearth is the seed plot of noble and hourishing
commonwealth. All laws are vicious, all ten
denotes are to be deprecated, which increase the
difficulty of diffusing through every rank the
refined and holy influences which are cherished
by the domestic affections Reckless spechla-
tion among capitalists, disturbing the steady
and uniform course of employment, and its
sure counterpart, improvidence and debauchery
among workmen are the deadliest foes of the
household virtues In how small compass lie
all the elements of mans truest happiness if
society were only conducted in a rational and
moderate spirit, and its members of every class
could be restrained from vicious indulgence and
pursuit of phantoms. A marriage contracted
with thoughtfulness, and cemented by pure
and faithful love, when fixed position is gained
in the world and small fund has been accumu-
lated = hard work and frugal habits at the COM
meneement of domestic life, to meet in time the
possible demands of a future family IA dwelling
comfortably furnished Clean bright, salubrious,
and sweet = children well trained and early sent
to school-a small collection of good books on
the shelves "a few blossoming plants in the
window = some well selected engrayings On the
walls "a piano, it may be- a violin OF a flute to
accompany the family concert - home made
happy in the evening by cheerful tasks and mu-
tual improvement, exchanged at times for con-
yersation Of friend and neighbor of kindred taste
and eongenial manners - these are conditions of
existence within the reach Of every one who viii
seek them = resources Of the purest happiness,
lost to thousands, because q wrong direction is
given to their tastes and energies, and they roam
abroad in pursuit of interest and enjoyment
which they might create in rich abundance at
home This is no romantic visionary picture.
1t is sober, accessible possibility, such as even
now, under the pressure Of many adverse cir
cumstances, is realised in the homes Of not few
working men who have learned the art of ex-
tracing competence from narrow MEANS and
maintaining genuine respeetability in an humble
station:

Our Country.
BY W. j. PEABODY, ESQ.

Our country - tbs glorious land
With broad arms stretched from shore to shore
The proud Pacific chafes her strand
She hears the dark Atlantic roar
And nurtured on her ample breast;
How many goodly prospect lies
In Natures widest grandeur drest,
Enamelled with her loyeliest dyes.
Rich prairies, deck'd With flowers of gold,
Like snnlit oceans roll affair;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Rejecting clear each trembling starr
And mighty rivers, mountain born,
Go sweeping onward dark and deep;
Through forests where the bounding fawn
Beneath their sheltering branches leap
And Graded mid her clustering hills.
Sweet wales in dream-like beauty hide,
Where love the air with music fills,
And calm content and peace abide
For plenty here her fulness pours
In rich profusion Ter the land,
And, sent to seize her generous stores,
There proWls no tyrant's hireling band.
Great God we thank thee for this home
This bounteous birthland of the free
Where wanderers from afar may Gomez
And breathe the air of liberty
Still may her flowers untramelled spring,
Her harvests wave, her cities rise
And yet till time shall fold his wing
Remain Earth's loveliest paradise

At the dawn of the day, when the spirit is free,
Untrameled by and care;
1t is sweet to retire and breathe our desire
In holy, importunate prayer.
AT noontide, when evils pressing us down,
And we draw near the FowLEn's dread snare;
What balm to the heart will the blest thought impart
There is refuge in sOul-speaking prayer
At evening, when trials have furrowed the face
That once blooming and fair,
We will enter the rest in the land of the best,
Waited home by the zephyrs of prayer.

Later From Utah.
WASHINGTON, June 90,

WASHINGTON, June 20.
Col. Kane arrived here last night, bring.
ing dispatches from Gov. Cummings, whom
he left at Camp Scott on the 10th of May.
They were delivered to the President of the
United States. Their purport has not Off
cially transpired, but it is ascertained that
many Of the accounts with which the pub.
lie mind hos been prejudiced are erroneous
and calculated to deceive the country in re.
spect to Utah matters generally. To this
fact may be attributed the uncourteous refu.
sal of Col. Kane 10 communicate with the
President. 1t is understood that Col. Kane
denies the truth Of the telegraphic an
ouncement from BoonVille, intimating that
The army would move on the arrival Of the
Peace Commissioner, when in fact Gov.
Cumming has requested it to remain where
il is until orders shall have been received
from Washington. Contrary to the reports
widely circulated, Col. Kane does not ad-
nit that there has been any such want Of
harmony between Gov. Cumming and Gen.
Johnston as would jeopardize the public in
terests.
He speaks in eulogistic terms OF Gen.
Johnston, and the high state OF discipline Ia
which the latter maintained his forces, and
of the praiseworthy spirit manifested by the
army.
The Administration is much pleased
| with the manner he is Understood to allude
10 the conduct of Gov. Cummings, saying
that he is deserving Of the gratitude of the
country.
There is as great hope in Utah, as else
where, that the war is at an end. The peace
party had been armed, and was sufficiently
strong in time to arrest the march OF the
Mormon forces against our own last fall.
1t was the impression at Utah that Brig

STATISTICS OF THE MORALITY OF TOLEDO
"A HARD SToRY.-The Napoleon North
West says that Rev. s. .. Shafer, of Tole-
do, delivered Temperance address at that
place lew evenings ago, and during his
discourse that paper reports him as stating
"that Toledo contained l,7oo places where
intoxicating liquors are retailed daily; 1900
resident professional gamblers; 500 gam
bling houses, and 900 prostitutes. Estimat-
ing the population OF Toledo at $4,000, then,
according to the. above statement, onejfnh
Of the entire population are gamblers. Put
ting the number ofvoters in Toledo at 500
(one-sixth of the whole population, the
usual ratio,) and we have one and one:-fiftt
, gamblers to every voter. Again: estlmat-
ing the female population Of, Toledo, o1el
l6 years of age, at one fifth Of the entire

BILE to the point where ii is decided to land
the cable. The Niagara will be expected
momentarly on and after next week, but
from the fact that the fleet would use no

not reach this coust before the lst OF July.
This Office has been placed in communica-
