: @ We have noticed, for some tina
past, that many of the stamped envelopes
furnished by the Post Office Department,
are so transparent that all that part Of a
letter on the outside of a folded sheet nav
be read through the envelope with ease.
We presume this is owing to the progre,.
sive spirit. of the age, and being imbuel
with Democracy. The envelopes uselto
be thick enough to prevent Postma,ters
from taking a peep at a fellows affairs.

A HOME.

If we were to tell number of our
friends that they did not know what a
"home" is, they would grow somewhat
indignant-perbaps use hard words
And yet it may be remarked that the
number Of persons who know what a
genuine home is, by experience, is sur
prisingly few.
One man, in good circumstances, will
tell US he has fine house of his own, in
which every comfort and convenience are
provided. He has a wife and children
there also, and they give light to the
life of the place. Very true. But does
be prefer that home, thus furnished and
thus enlivened, to every other place in
the world ? Does he sigh when the hour
Of leaving comes, and smile when he is
permitted to return? Does he love to
sit by the cheerful fire and fondle the
children, entering into all their disputes
with curious interest2 Does he take
particular note of the bird in the cage,
and the cat near the fire? IF not, he
has no home, in the dearest sense Of that
dearest Of words. If his mind is alto
gether absorbed in the dusty ways Of
business if he hurEies from the house
/ in the morning, and is 10th to return at
night; if, while be is at home, he con-
tinues to think of the journal and ledg-
er, and repulses the advances Of the
pratlling children, he has no home he
only has a place where he lodges and
takes his meals
Ali happy is he who knows and APP
preciates the full bliss Of home whose
heart is warmed and humauized by its
ssheerful influences, md who feels bow su-
Teror i is in purity Of pleasure and all
its euioyments, to the turmoil delights Of
outdoor life. Thrice happy is such a
man re has discovered the only para
disc this world can afford. 1t is only
such man who can have a deep and
sincere pity for the unfortunate creatures
who are homeless. He regards them as
being cut off from the hest influences Of
the earth, and exposed to the action Of
ell the darker waves Of life. He feels
keenly for him who has no freside-no
dear ones to welcome him with smiles,
and praitle over the history Of the day
no tongue to soothe when heavy cares
have troubled the mind and rendered the
heart sore; and the sympathy Of such a
man is not slow 10 overflow in actsof be-
nevolence. A good home is the source Of
the fountain of charity in the heart
Our al ,,;oo 20 fhoca vgbo have M hon,aq
such as are described above, is TO get
them as soon as possible. They can
never be contentcd aud substantial citi-
zens, nor thoroughly happy men, until
they follow this counsel. Get homes
Fill them with the objects Of love and
endearment, and seek there what the
world beside cannot afford

A Letter of Daniel webster.

How characteristic is the following
letter Of Mr.. Webster! How full of
wisdom were even his most playful effu-
sions Imbued with noble and lofty
sentiments, he could write nothing with
out being instructive:
WASHINGTON, January 5, 1855.
DEAR HENRY: have received your
letter of December 81, giving an account
of the high tide and storm and of the
breaking away of the dyke. | regret
the occurrence, but it is no occasion for
rcpining or complaint. 1t has happened
that in course of high tides, and at a
moment of violent east wind, the sea
has invaded the land with such violence
as to overcome the barriers which man
had erected against its Entertainments. -
Very we'll This is an event beyond hui
man foresight, or at least beyond the
power of human prevention, and is there
fore no cause of remorse, although il
may occasion regret No wise man sup
poses that the agencies Of Nature or the
power of physical causes will fail to have
their full effect and operation always =
If high tides and strong wind from the
sea concur and cooperate, the land will
be to some extent usually overhowed
and both the just and unjust must alike
bear the consequences. In all this there
is nothing wrong nothing to complain
of, nothing to repine &C. Whatsoever
Providence orders is right; and the vi.
client commissions and agitatiohs of the
elements are but processes in the gener-
al administration of Providence

THE LITTLE COFFIN.
BY MRS. HI. BosTwIcK.

Twas tiny rosewood thing,
Bban-bound and ghttering,
With its stars of silver white;
Silver tablet; black and bright;
Downy pillowed; satin lined
That !, lettering, CHANGED to find,
Mid the dust, and scent, and gloom
OF the undertaken 5 room,
Waiting empty-ah, for Yhom2
All what love-watched eradle-bed
Keeps tonight the nesting head?
Or on what soft, pillowed breast
Is the cherished form at rest,
That ere long, with darkened eye,
Sleeping to no lullaby,
Whitley robed, and still, and cold,
Pale flowers slipping from its hold,
Shall this dainty couch enfold2
All what bitter tears shall Stain
All this satin sheet like rain
And what tiny hopes are hid,
Meath this tiny collin lid,
Scarcely large enough to bear
Little words that must be there
Little words cut deep and true,
Bleeding mother's heart anew
Sweet pet name, and aged two"
OF can sorrows lowering plume
Round our pathway cast gloom
Chill and darksome as the shade
BY an infants coffin made2
From our arms an angel flies,
And our startled, dazzled eyes,
Weeping round its vacant place,
Cannot rise its path to trace
Cannot see the angels face.

GOOD HUMOR.

Only move along in the world with
your heart and hand open, and you
will find scores ofindividuals whose smile
will speak to that of yours, and whose
hands will be eager to grasp your prof
fered welcome. | make these the condi-
tons, because much depends upon the
mood man is in, whether he perceive
in another those qualities that are lack
ing in himself Any one inclined to
grumble at the disappointment and vex-
ations of life will soon discover that the
society in which he moves is speedily in
oculated by the coniagion, and that they
in turn are prone to aggravate his splen-
etc mood by venting their hatred upon
him as the cause of all their discomfort
meut.
have frequently met with those who,
on the spur of the moment, | had voted
''the pleasantcst people in the world, >
simply from the fact that was in the
best of humor with myself on the occa.
sion, and therefore in the excess of my
joy, was unable to be in any but the
best of humor with others aud so from
this personal experience | have argued
that when we are disposed to find faul
with others, the cause of the fault FIRE
queutly lies within ourselves.
Good humor is not to be acquired
without somewhat Of self-sacrifce. There
are asperitics in our nature, possibly in
nate, that years Of patient toll and watch
fitness only can smooth down For in
stance, there are some mouths that seem
ingly were formed for nothing but pout
ing, as others are apparently incapable
of anything but distributing smiles an
kisses. SO that the former, in order t
receive the cordial reception Of the latte
named, must be taught to soften down
line or two, and cut loose from all sue
tangling alliances Friendships, by-the
by, are never so lasting as when en-
balmed by the recollection Of a sum
smile and warm kiss.
Much of physical as well as moral de
formity is to be concealed by stead
vein Of humor running through one
character. | have in my mind at thi
moment friend who, while so badl
crippled in one Of his limbs as to almos
entirely eonfne him within doors, is We
possessed Of one Of the most humorou
temperaments / ever met with. 70 b
sure, he bad his sad moments, as he Of
ten confesscs, yet still, at his bushes
and in his family, he is the incarnation
Of good hamor, and thus, in a measure
mitigates the knowledge Of a deformit
that otherwise would be painful to con
template
They are clever set of fellows--thes,
humorists---they who laugh and shou
the loudest, and always lift load from
your heart every time you see their mer
ry countenances good-natured fellows
who take the world as it comes" an,
go through Sfe as though they had n
other desire than that of keeping thu
world in good spirits; giving the colo
shoulder to Esculapius, and only looking
in at the undertaken when, physically
they are unable to laugh any longer
