Home.

H0NE-it Is little word it has its own inter-
ests, its own laws, its own difficulties and
sorrows, its own blessings and joys. 1t is the
sanctuary of the heart, where the affections are
cherished in the tenderest relations, where
heart is Joined to heart, and love triumphs over
all selfish calculations. tits the training school
of the tender plants, which in afteg years are
to yiold flowers and fruits to parental care.
It is the fountain whence come tho streams
which beautify and enliven social life.
Ifany man should have home, it is the
man of business. He is the true working. man
Of the community. The mechanic has his fixed
hours, and when these have run their course,
he may, ere the day closes, dismiss all anxiety
as his labors ends, and seek the homo circle.
Comparatively little has been the tax on his
mind, and not much more on his physical sys-
tenn, ns he learns to take all easy. But the
man Of business Is under o constant pressure.
His is not ten-hour system, with an interval
of rest; but he Is driven onward and onward
early and late, without the calculation Of hours.
He must be employed. In the earnestness Of
competition-in the complexity Of modern
modes Of business--in the fluctuations which
frequently occur--in the solicitous dependence
on the fidelity and integrity of others-he has
no leisure moments during the day. With a
mind necessarily under exciting engagements
and body without its appropriate nutriment
he may well pant for home, and hail the mo.
ment whom he may escape from his tolls tc
seek it's quiet, and its affection and confidence

Feat of Strength.

A letter from jackson, Miss, August 4, 1859,
says:
was yesterday an eye. witness to one of the
greatest feats of strength on record. Accord
ing to statement recently made by some pro-
fessor of gymnaStics, before his audience, in
his lecture, he said that the Belgian Giant, who
was said to be the strongest man in the world,
could only lift, at fair and square lift, nine
hundred pounds, If this be true, I yesterday
saw Mr.. Giant fairly beaten.
Mr.. Charles +. Ferry, locomotive engineer
on the engine "Hercules," N. o., J.& G. N. +.
Railroad, lifted, at fair and square lift, one
thousand pounds. Mr. Ferry is just six feet
high, and weighs two hundred and two pounds.
He stood upon pair of Fairbanks platform
scales, and passed three-quarter inch rope
under them, allowing the ends to come far
enough through to run stick through the
loops. He then placed twelve hundred pounds
in weights upon the beam and stepped upon
the scales, taking hold of the center of the
stick, and, with apparent ease, raised the beam
and held it in that position for nearly thirty
seconds, until all of the bystanders were per-
fectly satisfied that it was fair lift.
At the suggestion Of some person present,
another two hundred pound weight was placed
upon the beam; and confidently believe that,
had not the rope broken, he would have raised
the twelve hundred pounds. Another rope was
procured, but he refused to lift again for moth
ing. Mr.. Ferry says that he can, by the MD
Of strap across his shoulders, carry and walk
twenty or thirty PAGES with twelve hundred
pounds. 'H',

Washington.

In the year Of our Lord 1870, I stood upon
the doorstep Of the counting-house, of which
was then but tho youngest clerk, when the
companion beside me hurriedly said, "There
he comesl-Thore comes Washington" i
looked up Pearl street, and saw approaching,
with stately tread and open brow, the Father
of my country. His hat was of, for the day
was sultry, and he was accompanied by Colonel
Page and James Madison. Never have for
gotten, nor shall to my dying day forget, tho
serene, the benign, the godlike expression of
the countenance Of that man ofmen. His lofty
mien and commanding figure, SGT off to advan-
tsge by an elegant dress, consisting of blue
coat, buff small-clothes, silver knee and shoe
buckles, and white vest his powdered looks, and
powerful, vigorous look, (for he was then in the
prime and strength Of his manhood, have never
faded from my mind during the many years
which, with all their chances and ohanges,
have rolled bstween.-P.rsonal Rseollections
