HOME In my idea, home rises to the
dignity of an institution of life, and, like
everything legitimately to be called an
institution Of life, is both an outgrowth OF
life and contributor to its development.
Like all institutions, it has its external
form and internal form and significance.
Like the church, it has its edltice and
appointments, not only, but its member
ship, its bonds of spiritual fellowship, and
its germinal ideas, developing themselves
into influences that bear flowers and fruits
to charm and feed the soul. 1t is into
the meaning of the word home that
would introduce you first, my friends,
and then into the home itself. Marriage
is the legitimate basis Of a genuine home.
A husband is its priest and a wife its
priestess; and it is for you, young hus-
band and young wife, to establish this
institution, 70 maintain it, beautify it in
its outward form, fill it with all good in
fluences, develop its capacities, make it
the expression of your best ideas of init
mate social life, and to use it as an instru-
ment of genial power in moulding such
outside life as may come in contact with
it. Its outward form and its internal ar
rangements should, SO far as your means
will permit, be the outgrowth of your
finest ideas and the expression of your
best tastes, combined with the practical
ingenuities which may be rendered neces-
sary by W holesome economy.-Ismothy

Decidedly Wrong.

The New Assessment Law contains the
following provision:
SEC. Is. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of State to prepare and cause
to be printed the necessary forms to car
~ into effect the provisions of this act,
and to transmit copies of such forms to
the clerk of the board of supervisors of
each of the counties in this State, imme-
diately on the publication of this act; and
al shall be the duty Of eGch of SAID clerks
to cause to be printed for the use Of the
assessors of the several Townships an has
county, such number Of said blank forms
as may be necessary.
1t seems to us this is plain enough.
The Secretary of State shall furnish cop
les to the Clerk of the Board of Superyi-
sors in each County, and the Clerk shall
procure such number printed as he may
need. Col. Jones, in direct violation of
this law, has engaged the -4rgus Office to
do the printing of these blanks for the
whole State. This is in direct violation
Of the law, and an act of injustice to the
country press.
The Col knows this and he should be
allowed to pay for the blanks from bis
own private purse.

The Turf.

The sporting season was opened up in
good style, on Monday, at the St. Paul
Trotting Park. The first trial, says the
Pioneer, was trotting match, mile heats
best three in five, between j. G. Coles
gray horse Prince, driven by Perrin, and
S. S. Eaton's roam marc Crazy Jane
Prince won the race in three straight heats,
time 2.5S, 2.54.
A running match followed, for which
there were three entries. A chestnut nag
owned by Chapman of st. Anthony ;
John Lakes Mart, and bay horse from
Southern Minnesota. The st Anthony
horse won the first heat, time 1.5s, beat
ing Mart about neck to the stand
Mart won the second heat time, 2.04,
beating the st. Anthony nag the same
distance. On the third heat, Mart wal
ked over the course, his competitors hay-
ing been withdrawn.
On Tuesday trotting match came off
between Grey Stranger, entered by O.
Rogers, and Mark, entered by Cogswell,
for purse of $4,000.
Grey Stranger won the first, third and
fourth, heats, in $40, 8. s and So.
Mark won the second heat in 3.e5
The contest was for the best three in
five in harness.
There was also pacing match against
time, 2.59, by a horse entered by Joseph
Campbell, which was won by coming in
in $50,

A SINGULAR FAcT,-We believe it is
fact generally understood by all persons
familiar with the habits of horses, that
when they stray away they generally take
southerly direction. Why this is the
case we are unable to tell, any more than
we can explain the well known fact when
persons are lost they invariably wander
about in circle. A large number of
horses have been recently advertised as
"strayed or stolen" and we would suggest
to those persons who have lost their hor-
ses to extend their inquiries or search
southwark from where the horse was at
the time he was missed.
On the bottom land this side of Fort
Smelling, and in the immediate vicinity of
the river, there are no less than twenty
horses, who evidently have strayed away
from their owners, as no one in that yicin-
ity knows to whom they belong. Also
about twenty miles south of this City and
near the village of Lakeland, large num-
Der of horses-somc ninety-are grazing
in herd on the prairie. Among the
number are some very fine looking ami
mails. which evidently have wandered a
way from where they rightly belong, for,
as in the case above, no one in that To-
cality claims them.-,S. Paul Times.

CURE FOR CoRRUPTION.-1he last
LEGISLATURE, astonished no doubt by the
disclosures of the Investigation, enacted
severe law in regard to the improper
means for controlling legislation. This
law makes it m;slemeanor, to be pun
ished with Imprisonment for from four
months to a year, and a line of from 500
to $1,000, to pay or take any money, or
other valuable thing for aiding in procu-
ring the passage or defeat of any measure
before the Legislature, if the pay is de-
pendent on the contingency of passage or
defeat of the measure. Makes it also q
misdemeanor, punished by Imprisonment
for from one month to year, and a fine
of from $50 to 800, for any person who
las any interest in the passage or defeat
of measure before the Legislature, to
influence him, without first stating whe-
Their he is interested or not in such
passage or defeat.

re- Wendell Phillips. in an anti-s

@ Wendell Phillips, in an anti-sla-
very speech, shows the necessity Of unit
ring action for the right:
Friends, I know the WEAKNESS of the
cause in which you are engaged. There
is no Canaan in reform; there is no rest
ahead; it is all wilderness. Never fatter
yourselves that the time will come when
the day of your reform efforts will close,
and the clouds Of fruition and triumph,
tinted with purple and gold, gather round
the setting sun of your agitation. Never
AS long as the devil lasts, you are in for
it. The agitation you began is just as
necessary to-day as it was thirty years
ago. A thousand years age, the Dutch
built their ramparts-a wall of mud
against the ocean. Do they trust them
Nay, day by day, the peasant steals an
hour from toll for his chldren's bread, to
go to the ocean, and fill up the breach,
repair the willow which the insects have
eaten, and save the land which his father
gave him, while the ocean roars over his
head, endeavoring to clutch what man
has snatched from its grasp.

PcsrAGE.-A bill passed the Z. S.
Senate increasing the rate of letter postage
to cents, and 10 cents over three thou
sand miles and abolishing the franking
privilege altogether. The House refused
to concur and the rate of postage remains
as before. The franking privilege if used
with decent moderation would be well
enough, but the mails have been so bur-
dened with franked documents that it
seems the dictate of prudence and econo-
my to have the privilege abolished
The rate of letter postage is certainly high
enough now, but perhaps alterations could
be made that would make it more eoui-
table. We see no reason why letter
should be carried 5000 miles for the same
sum that is paid to carry it ten.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1858-06-23

Be CALM.-In the press of life it may
seem difficult to be calm. Every one
feels the rushing of the crowd and rushes
with it onward; this causes the pulse of
life to beat with feverish and impatient
throb. With trembling footstep the tide
bears against the impatient crowd until
all seem bound to push on. Therefore
should every man wait; be should bide
his time: not in idleness, but in constant
steady endeavors, willing and fulfilling
his task. The voices of the present say
go-admonitions Of the past say wait,
"They also serve who stand and wait"
To be calm under all the mysterious
circumstances of life is to be great
Never allow your presence of mind to for
sake you, but cultivate a disposition to
bear the little ills of life which are con-
stantly besetting all Of us on every hand.
Be calm. Avoid anger and anger will
avoid you. Cultivate the friendship of
all good men. Be fearless, and stand up
boldly for the right, never swerving a
hairs breadth from the line Of duty
Do this, and though you may incur the
displeasure of some, you will merit the es-
TEEN and confidence of those alone whose
opinions are of any value.
