news frsm Venezuela. Gen. Castro, who il
now at the head Of affairs there, has invited
Gen. Psex and several other leading exiles to
return to the country. We give bis letter in
another column Not only has be invited Paez
to return in general terms, but he has sent q
special commission to wait upon him in New
York. requesting him TO come back TO his native
land, from which be has been no long expatriat-
ed. This commission will probably be in this
city in few days; but 1t is very likely, consi-
dering the turn affairs have now taken in Vene-
zuela, that Gen. Psez will have LEFT for that
country before the commissioners inviting his
return arrive here. There is very little doubt
that he will be candidate, and probably q sue

The CENTRAL PARk--We notice that the
Commissioners of the Central Park give out
that, after an examination of thirty three plans,
which were laid before them for laying out the
Park, they have selected four for prizes. A
description of the plan which drew the highest
prize (Which was sent in by Messrs. Olmstead
and Vaux) has been published; but 1t is impos-
sible to make head or tail Of IL, and should the
Commissioners resolve to adopt it, the public
will be left in the dark until the work is done
and tie money gone. There seems to be some
talk Of composite plan for laying out the
Park, which would emb0dy the best features of
the four plans selected for prizes; but this is
mere rumor as yet
The only thing that appears to be certain is
that the Park is to be turned to political
account by the black republicans, In whose
control the act Of the Legislature placed it,
Care has been taken that seven out of the
the remaining four only, being democrats. To
what extent political opinions are going to in
fuence the action of the Commissioners we may
judge from the fact that it is told us that the
plans selected for prizes were 80 selected in
every instance by strict party vote, the seven
republicans voting in a body against the mi
nority Of four.
We have no comment to make en- the alb
surdity of governing the laying out of park
with view to principles of national politics.
Nor need We enlarge upon the brazen impu
dence Of these black republicans, who assume to
direct for their own party purposes, one of the
most important public works in decidedly de-
mccratic city. These scandals have become
too common to require especial comment.
But we do think that, in view of the enor-
nous expenditure which may be made on the
Central Park within the next few years, the in
dications already apparent that this expendi-
ture is to be pros tituted to political party uses
are positively alarming According to Mr..
Olmstead's plan, the amount required to lay out
the park would be 81, SOC, 900. Experience jus.
titles the prediction that the actual outlay
would be nearer five than one and q half mil
lion. This money, it now appears, is to be
like the canals-used IS a corruption fund for
the republican party until the work is done 1t
may be that 80 brazen q scandal will not be
tamely endured.

learning to pray. You never saw him
staggering through the streets again
he,had commenced a new existence:
he had found brother, brother that
would not disown him even in the wise.
That brothers arm lifted him up and
bade him lean on him until he could
stand alone. O! how joyfully he leaned
on that arm how he loved his bene-
factor; how he loved his Maker, whose
image he saw reflected in that noble
face. He went forth from there
changed and happy man. He went
far away from the scenes of his wretch
edness. BY day he toiled, by night he
studied : resolved to redeem the lost
years Of his life. A good angel went
with him lit never forsook him; it was
faith in humanity. Now that he could
believe in man, he believed also in God,
and looked up with confidence to q
Heavenly Father. Firmly his feet trod
the path which opened before him;
gradually he rose from poverty and
obscurity to wealth and posts of honor;
and tonight he stands before you a
blest and happy man, trusted and hon.
ored by his fellow men. Twelve years
ago it was he disappeared from among
you, and was forgotten; you thought
probably that he had fallen into some
pit and persisted you were glad you
were rid Of the nuisance; you never
expected to see him come back here
and stand up to address you. But he
has come-he is here to plead the cause
of the lowly, to plead the cause of tho
guilty, to conjure you in Gods namo
to crush not the fallen! He is here to
tell you that the God whom you wor-
ship delights not in elegant churches
or gorgeous temples, while the children
of poverty wander homeless and un-
cared for. He has come to tell you
that one emotion Of Kindness toscards
a telloao being, one tear Of true sympa-
thy for the suffering WEIGHS MORE IN
HEAVENS SCALES than all the Church
going, all the prayers and .fastings

EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON THE Mourr

EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON THE MOUTH.
Both smoking and chewing produce
marked alterations in the most express
sive features of the face The lips are
closed by n circular muscle, which COM
pletely surrounds them and forms their
pulpy fullness. Now, every muscle of
the body is developed in precise ratio
with its use, as most young men know
they endeavor to develope and in
crease their muscle in the gymnasium.
In splitting and holding the cigar in the
mouth, this muscle is in constant use;
hence the coarse appearance and irreg-
ular development of the lips, when
compared to the rest of the features,
in chewers and smokers. The eve loses
its natural fire, and becomes dull and
lurid; it is unspeculative and unappre-
ciative; it answers not before the world;
its owner gazes vacantly, and often re-
pels conversation by his stupidity.

Professor Agasiz in new volume in
press at Boston. The professor had
declined to deliver alecture before some
lyceum orpublic society, on account of
the inroads which previous lectures
given by him had made uponhi studies
and habits of thought. The gentleman
who had been deputed to invite him
continued to press the invitation, as
suring him that the society were ready
to pay him literally for his services.

The Light at Home.


The light at home how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS
To love, and rest, and comfort all.
When wearied with the tolls Of day,
And strife, for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name.
When through the dark and stormy night
The wayward wanderer homeward hies,
How cheering in the twinkIing light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies |!
1t is the light of home. He feels
That loving hearts will great him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy and love that Danish care.
The light at home! How still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls Of day are Ger!
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that its beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart.
