Homo Life,


Here are some very ludicious remarks on
much needed reform in this country:
: The homes of America will not become
what they should be until true idea OF
life shall become more widely implanted.
The worship of the dollar does more to de-
grade American homes, and the life of those
homes, than anything-than all things else.
Utility is the god of almost universal wor-
ship. The chief end of life is to gather
gold, and that gold is counted lost which
hangs picture upon the wall, which pur-
chases flowers for the yard. which buys a
toy or book for the eager hand of child
hood. Is this the whole Of human life p
Then it is mean, neager and most unde-
sirable thing A child win go forth from
such home as horse will go forth from
a stall-glad to find fresh air and wider
pasturage. The influence of such home
upon him in after life will be none at all, or
nothing good. 5e-d
Thousands are rushing from homes like
these every day. They crowd into cities.
and into villages. They swarm into all
places where life is crowned with higher
Significance; and the old shell of home is
deserted by every bird as soon as it can fly.
Ancestral homesteads and pstrimonial acres
have no sacredness; and when the father
and mother die. the strangers presence OBJ
literates associations that should be among
the most sacred of all things.
would have you build up for yourselves
and for your children a home which will
never be lightly parted with--a home
which shall be to all whose lives have been
associated with it, the most interesting and
precious spot upon earth. I would have
that home the abode of dignity, propriety,
beauty, grace, love, genial fellowships and
happy associations. Out from such home
l would have good influences flow into neigh
borhoods and communities. In such a
home would see noble ambition taking
root, and receiving all generous culture.
And then would see you, young husband
and young wife, happy. Do not deprive
yourself of such influences as will come to
you through an institution ike this. No
money can pay you for such a deprivation.
No circumstances but those of utter pow
erty can justify you in denying these infu-
ences to your children. s4.rIu7 e e.

The Senator and the Dromios.

The senior Mr.. Gray, of the National Hotel
at Washington, bears quite a likeness TO
Gen. Cass, and upon this the correspondent
Of the n. Y. Times tells the following story:
A stranger, who supposed he knew mine
host very well, put up at the National the
other night. Since this house has become
the crack house at the capital, it is quite
full at this time, and the new conner was
necessarily for the FIRST night sent to the up

next morning, little cross, he met Gen.
Cass there, who has fine suite of rooms In
the hall. stepped up to him and in language
more forcible and rapid than elegant, said:

SMALL PAV.--As several gentlemen

the thousand steamers which ply on their

asked who that elegant place BELONGED to.
Mr.. johnson, is the owner" was the
reply

Presently, another plantation attracted
the attention OF these gentlemen. snd
me rough looNng man was again applied
to for the name the proprietor.
Mr.. johnson is the owner said the
man.
'lndeed-the same man that owns the
othcr?'
"Whata fortunate man this Mr.. John
san must be, to have two such establish
mentS rs these"
A third, fourth, and fifth plantation
fell under the notice of the gentlemen.
and IN reply to their questions they wore
informed that they also belonged 10 Mr.
johnson.
And who takes care of ali those firms
for Mr.. johnson ?"
Il take care of them" answered. IN,
