"A child may easily be led to associate
pleasure with home ideas, as to think
OF it in connection with the home of
his play-mates. Certainly, if allowed
to do SO he can as readily connect hap
plncss with parents, brothers and sis.
ters, as with those of other kin. And
the child will do so, unless happiness
and pleasure, when he calls for them
under the parental roof, respond" Not
at home!" All home pictures should
be bright ones. The domestic heart
should be clean and Joyous. 4i
If home life is well ordered. the
children having, according to age,
working-time, play-time, books, games,
and household sympathies, they will
love home, and find pleasure there. 90
Give the little ones states and pencils.
and encourage their attempts to make
pictures. Drawing will amuse them
when noisy plays have lost their zest, or
are unreasonable; and the art will be
useful to them in all the business of
after life. Have them read to each
other stories and paragraphs of your
selection, and save the funny things and
the pleasant ones you see i'm papers and
books. to read to them at your leisure,
You cannot imagine how much it will
please them, and how it will bind them
to you. But choose well for them for
the impression made on their minds
now will last when the hills crumble.
Have them sing together, and sing
with them songs and hymns. Let
them sing all day-like the birds-at
all proper times. Have them mutually
interested in the same things, amuse-
ments and occupations, having speci-
fed times for each, so that their habits
will be orderly. Let them work to.

From the N. Y. Evening Post.
The Oberlin Rescue.

Simeon Bushnell was convicted at Cleveland, O.,
of the crime of aiding John, an alleged slave to
escape through Ohio to Canada, and to regain his
freedom.
Where is the charter freedom gave
To lands where speeds Ohio's flood,
Which guarded from the foot of slave
The soil once wet with patriot blood?
Was it for this our fathers bled, ste.-s tsel
And left their graves as patriot mounds
From transatlantic masters fed.
Here trembling crouch like whining hounds I?
Is it crime on freedoms soil reL
To aid the man who would be free ,eis.se
Shall we denounce far-distant spoil, w 81
Ourselces hunt men to slavery?
Ye pilgrims to Old England's Tower,
a Who freeze before the axe and wheel
Rude relics now of brutal power
The dungeon, screw, judicial steel: ae7a.s
Go to your own proud prairie home,
Your home of boasted liberty;
And standing meath the heavens broad dome,
See bloodier tools of tyranny
The soulless judge, indictments, law,
Inventions framed with cunning skill
Far deadlier than the links which gnaw
And chafe the freemans tameless will.
The plain which meath free armies shook
Are now the hunting grounds for men:
Unclaimed the flowers, the wind, the brook
There men are forced to slaves again.
Oh, men roll back this cursed tide;
Assert the manhood God once gave;
Stand on free ground its crown and pride;
Be something more than Savery's slave.
All honor to that hero band.
Your thorny crown is rosy bright;
With IIampden, Sydney now We stand,
Judicial martyrs to the right.

Condolences and Confessions.
BY E. w. DEVICES.


The clear, cheerful fire glowed warm
er and brighter as the darkness of the
winter evening gathered without.
Cousin Harry and | sat costly beside
it, enjoying the pleasant warmth, and
giving full rein to our wandering fam
cies.
He was leaning back dreamily in his
easy-chair-I, silently musing opposite
him with my feet Qhey were not large
ones, reader) resting on the low fender.
My eyes were fixed on the glowing
Goals: but now and then / could not
help stealing glance at cousin Harry's
face, in order to conjecture the subject
of his long reverie.
He was in aright dreamy mood, and
his dreams were evidently pleasant ones
on the whole, though many varying
emotions swept across his manly fea-
lures.
I too, rs sat there looking demure-
ly into the fire, had certain little dreams
Of my own. Did l mention that cousin
Harry was not my cousin-only ward
of my fathers, brought up in our fam
lily, to whom that title was given by
courtesy? But that, of course had
nothing to do with my dreaming, or not
dreaming.
Harry broke the long silence at last
by saying.
"Come and sit here by me, cousin
Olive, | want to tell you something"
/, went and took low seat at his
feet, and leaned my head against his
knees, as / had done from childhood.
Dear cousin Harry how l loved him !
He passed his hand caressingly over
my curls and said /:
"Olive, did I ever speak to you
about Miss Ruthersford-Miss Mary
Ruthersford ?"
"No, cousin"
And yet Inever had, and do not
wishto have any secrets from my cousin.
But this is proof" he added, laughing,
"that the old line which, says, sThe
hearts feel most when the lips speak
not is true. If / have not spoken to
you of Miss Ruthersford, it must have
been because / have felt too much to
give easy utterance to my thoughts.
Olive, she is the loveliest creature !
ever looked upon. met her last sum
mer, when | was travelling in Europe.
We travelled through Italy together
and each day that / spent in her socie-
ty admired her more In short, Olive
| fell in love with her.'
Yes" said l. I was glad to be
able to utter even that one word, and
so glad that my face happened to be
turned so that Harry could not see it.
" She has just returned to this
country" continued he, "and this very
night decides my fate. sent a note to
her this morning requesting an inter
view. An hour from this time sees me
the happiest man in America or the
most miserable"
/ clasped my arms tightly round
Harry's knees, and am sure, even il
that bitter moment, l breathed {
prayer for his happiness, come how i
might.
My tears could no longer be quite re
strained but Harry naturally misunder
stood their cause. He patted my head
with playful tenderness, and rising him
self, he raised me too, and kissing my
check, said,

The seasons keep their appointed tlSney

and night with its eloquent mystery.
The same stars which lit the ghastIy
battlefield of Troy-rough with the
dead bodies of ancient heroes; which
shone on the marble streets of imperial
Rome, and on the sad eyes of Virgil,
sleepless in the living glow of inspira-
tion-the watch fires of the angels,
