Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of lit
tie fun at home, good people! Don't shut
up your houses, lest the sun. should fade
your carpets; and your hearts, lest hearty
laugh should shake down some Of the musty
old cobwebs there! If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all mrth and
social enjoyment must be left on the thresh-
hold without when they come home at night.
When once home is regarded as only
place to eat, drink, and sleep in, the work
is begun that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people must
have fun and relaxation somewhere if they
do not find it at their own hearthstones, it
will be Sought in other and, perhaps, less
profitable places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the home
nest delightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand. Don't re-
press the bouyant spirits of your children;
half an hour of merriment round the lamp
and freight of home blots out the remem-
brance Of many care and annoyance dur
ing the day, and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world is the
unseen influence Of bright little DOMESTIC

ABOLITION OF FLoGe1Na IN TIE BR1r1sn
ARMY.-Duke Of Cambridge, Commander
in-Chief Of the British Army, has just issued
an order which is virtually an abolition of
the punishment of aogging heretofore much
practiced in the service. The soldiers on
entering the service are to be classified in
two classes in the first of which they will
not be liable to corporeal punishment except
for aggravated mutinous conduct in time Of
war. They will continue in the first class.
Unless they commit certain crimes, for which
they will be degraded to the second class.
in which they may be subjected to corpore-
al punishment. Uninterrupted good con-
duct for year will transfer SOLDIER for
the second time to the first class. The plan
is ingenious, and seems likely to accomplish
its purpose and put an end to fogging, ex~
cept for an aggravated offences committed
by incorrigible men.

The reduction of the number of Directors
of Lunatic Asylumns to three, is recon-
mended.
The law of the last session empowering
the Executive to commute sentence of trans
portation into labor on public works, has
operated well. 1t has relieved the prison
of crowd, and the hands on the works are
as the best, worked under the regulations
which / have been careful to prepare. l
now recommend that the system for all mi
nor offences be extended to the white as well
as black criminals. Let no criminals be
sent to the penitentiary under five years.
In less time they can learn no trade, and
are dead cost, On the public works they
will be sufficiently punished, and will not
be utterly crushed. It is polite and merci-
full for the lighter offenders to be so punish
ed. 1t is better than workbouse.
A change of site of the penitentiary to an
island in James river is recommended.
Some changes are desirable in regard to
the Land Office. A number of locations
and entries made since 1902 are not good.
and there are number of lots east Of the
Blue Ridge, belonging to the State, which
ought to be sold Jamestown, embracing

YOU'VE MEN-It should be the aim OF
young men to 60 into good society-we
mean not the rich, nor the proud, nor the
fashionable, but the society of the wise, the
intelligent and the good When you can
find men who know more than you do, and
from whose conversation you can gather in
formation, it is always safe to be found with
them. 1t has broken down many man to
associate with the low and vulgar, where
the ribald song was sung, and the indecent
story told to excite laughter or influence the
bad passions
Lord Clarendon attributed success and
happiness in life to associatng with persons
more learned and virtuous than ourselves.
lfyou wish to be respected, if you desire
happiness and not misery, we advise you TO
associate with the intelligent and good
Strive for excellence and integrity and you
will never be found in the sinks of polIu-
ton, or in the ranks of proaigates and gam
blers.

Gov. Chase Of Ohio.

The following incident, related by cor

crot, will afford our readers an opportunity
of learning something of the Kind feeling
with which shareholders are regarded BY this
precious Ohio Abolition official:
DEAR SIR: In compliance with your re-
quest, furnish, briefly, the particulars of
an interview had by myself, with S. p.
Chase, Governor of the State Of Ohio, in
regard to emancipated slaves.
Near the close Of the winter Of 1857, |
visited Ohio at the instance of >. d. Cabi-
ness, Esq, and Samuel c. Townsend, for
the purpose Of selecting home for num-
Der of slaves belonging to the estate of Sam
uel Townsend, deceased, and who, according
to his last will, were to be liberated and set
tied il some Free State Having letters to
several distinguished gentlemen in Cincin-
natl, mainly Of the clergy and the bar, and
having made their acquaintance, obtained
from them, letters to other intelligent and
Influential. citizens, in different portions of
the State. Among many others, had let

called on him among the first men. after my
arrival in Columbus, believing from what |

physical, l.,oral developments Of the State,

celved oy the Governer with apparent cor
diality, and received from him much infor-
nation in regard to the various negro-schools

bis conversation on the subject, by remark.
ing with emphasis, that ''for his part, be
would rather never seen another free negro
set his foot upon Ohio soil" I asked bis
reason. Because, said he, 'their mora
influence is degrading" | then remarked
that it appeared to me ''glaring iuco nsis-
tency in him and others in Ohio, to love
our Southern slaves SO much as to desire
their freedom and clamor for their enamel

The Purchase Of Love.

Oh say not woman's heart is bought
With vain and empty treasures,
oh, say not woman's heart is caught
By every idle pleasure.
When first her gentle bosom knows
Loves fame-it..wanders never;
Deep in her heart the passion CLOVIS
She loves-and loves forever!
Oh, say not woman's false as fair,
That like the bee she ranges;
Still seeking flowers more sweet aud rare,
AS tickle fancy changes.
An. moi the love that first can warm,
Will leave her bosom never;
No second passion e'er can charm
She loves-and loves foreverl

high speed at which it was running rem
