Doctor, let me describe a Ittle-if the

ones is on the floor, and lovingly mated.
The gents encircle their partners waists

"No Place Like Home"
"There's no place like home. y

Thus the poet once sung, and every
heart responds TO the truth of the besutl-
ful sentiment. What tender emotions,
warm feelings, and hallowed recoIlecions
cluster around the words "No place like
home" 1t was the sentiment which
gave beauty TO the verse and life to the
song-that awakened all the refined and
undying sensbililies of the soul Emo
lions the most tender swell the bosom, as
the heart in warm affection, sighs for the
sanc,ity Of home. From its sacred alter
goes forth an Influence that g ives TO hle
its beauty, lis sweetness, and its charm,
and around that alter fingers the hope OF
stiny; for in its educating and elevaling
influence is the safeguard of innocence
and purity. And, as the evening and
orison ascends, God accepts the sacrifice,
and sends down the rich fragrance of his
love to suffuse and imbue the hearts that
mingIe in sympathy there.
But this hallowed abode Of innocence,
virtue, and piety-this home Of the ahec-
tious-has been invaded by the spirit OF
the aye and amid the interests and eX-
elements Of life, the old and sacred idea
of home is fading away. lis Instruction.
the germ of principle that moulded the
characler-its influences that guarded the
as pirations and restrained the wayward-
ness of youth, and lis haIlowed recoIec-
lions that filed with delight The heart in

how painfully is 1t that the Old IDEA OF
home is passing away. lis instructions
are deemed unimpoTIant lis restraining
influences lyrannicaI and lis tender re-
collections unmanly. And for this folly
and madness we forfeit all that is precious
IN the noble and virluous career of our
sons and daughters. The spirit of the
age, which pants for novelty and excite
ment, is undermining the culture OF family
affection and influence, unti} the sacred
power of its tender scenes are unknown
and unfelt by those who 90 forth 10 give

ties, lis obligations, and It's destiny -un,
restrained and uninfuenced by the tender
,recollections of the sanctlty Of home.
How deeply anxious ought every parent
TO be 10 impress the youthful heart with
an undying love for home, urged, as he
is, by every tender motive, by all that is
desirable in the blessings and feahul in the
dis pleasure Of God, and by all that is ele-
vating aud permanent in those innueaces
whose sweep will be parallel with the

they intended TO whip him if he touched
on what they meant should be forbidden
ground. The day appointed for the Prea-
ching arrived, and the preacher appeared
on the stand. A large number OF bis
friends from adjacent districts, hearing OF
lhJeals against him, had come 10 the NEE
ting, IN order If necessary 10 protect him
from violence, but the preacher had no
intentions that any Of his friends should
fight on his account; he was able to do
his own fighting. Accordingly. on noun
ting the stand, be had shrown of his coat
and vest, and rolled up his shirt sleeves,
displaying the arm and chest Of Her

several men present who had threatened
to whip him that he had many friends
present Who were able and willing to pro-
iect him. He said he did not like fight.

account he would rather do it himself than
have his friends 6ghl for him, and as he
did no, wish thS eTfyiees interrupted, he
would prefer hal IT should take place be-
fore the meeting was opened. "And
said he, 'if there is any man
here who thinks he can whip me and IN
tends to try ii, if he viii have The good
ness to step forward | will flax him out

Smith ;" saying which he seized Prea-
cher who stood by his side and who was
a small sized man, by the walstband oil
the breeches, and lifted him from The
ground, held him out at arms length with
one hand. The exhibition OF physical
strength prevented any demonstration on
the part of his enemies, and the meeting
proceeded without interruption.

To the weary heart i'll sorrows hour

When all around is bright and gay,

Then brighter than the golden beams OF

When trials come and all is drear,
When fortunes fed, and hope is dead
1t comes 10 comfort and TO cheer,

And sweetest joys have birth
AS a bright angel from The skies
With aowery feet it treads the earth.
