MY sANcTuM.
ny ELLIS A. NoE.


There Is place, where, from the noisy world,
A sweet retirement have often sought;
Where, quite secure in all my solitude,
My soul has reveled in ne realms Of thought ;
Where dwells the genius Of the brilliant past,
The works of writer's both sublime and clever,
Who, mute but eloquent live on my shelves,
And who'll exist in memory forever ll
'Tis here, with pen in hand, I nightly seek
Some new eonceit or romance 10 infuse
Into the world Of glorious literature
'Tis here cultivate poetic muse,
And playful faneies, like troop Of fairies.
Dance gracefully andlightly through my brain;
Aud yet, at times, some sad'ning recollection
Doth ell this heart Of mine with griefand pain.
Fragrant with flowers, adorned with gems Of art,
My sanctum Is the sweetest Of all bowers,
Where, sometimes with dear and cherished
friend, ~
pass so happily the golden hours
Nor wealth, ambition, nsr n love Of fame,
Shall ever tempt ME from this place 10 roam,
Sacred to friendship, loyalty and truth,
Surrounded by the blest delights of home!

How TO HOLD SICK PERsoS.-Nev-
er grasp him, or support any part of the
body with the tips Of your fingers, but
with the whole breadth Of your hand laid
smoothly on the skin. If you use the
finger-ends for holding any weight, they
will press and dig into the patients flesh,
causing him great discomfort, particularly
if the the part be at all inflamcd; but if
your whole hand, with the fingers little
out, divide the weight over its surface, no
discomfort, or as little as possible, is pro-
duced. Barwell.

AT Layers boarding house, in ST.
Louis, an unusually merry wedding caino

prolonged till past one in the morning.
The briie aud groom then repaired TO
their apartment, but--horribiie Visu!--
the bed and bedding had been sacrilegi-
ously stolen from the nuptial bedstead.
Some vindietiye wretch had gained felon-
ious ingress at the rear, and effected
robbery unparalleled in the history of
matrimony. 1t is conjectured that so fell
a vengeance could only have been devils
ed and executed by some disappointed low

A LOVELY SCENE.

Some two years ago, in one Of the
northern counties Of Virginia, while in at
tendance at the House OF God, l witness
a most impressive and lovely scene. The
minister Of God stood by the baptismal
font while in his arms he held lovely
child, which scarce twelve months had
seen; pure, spotlcss, sinlcss, innocent
thing, it was about TO be eonsecrated, yea,
dedicated, TO Almighty God. Having
placed his finger in the liquid, he crossed
the sweet smiling forehead of the inno-
cent babe, at the same time giving utter
ance TO the words Of the Saviour--sI
baptize thee in the name of the Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost" The child re-
manned calm and quiet until he had fin
ishcd, when, leaning over TO the font, il
dipped its tiny finger into the pure ele-
ment, and in turn crossed the furrowcd
brow Of the servant Of God. II drew n
smile from the congregation. 1t was a
lovely sight, and never shall forget it,
| thought Of the time when Christ was
on earth--when he took the little lambs
in his arms and blessed them, and said,
suffer them TO come unto me-" Itho't
Of heaven, where tens of thousands of
such pure and sinless beings, who left
this sinful world, do ever behold the face
Of our God. Oh! may We become as
little children, that God may at last give
us happy admittance into his glorious
kingdom on high.

In carpentry we are unexceled IN the
world. Such structures in timber as the
Dry Docks at San Francisco and Phila-
delphia Cullam's and Col. Seymour's
bridges on the Erie Railroad and branch
es, the timber vinducts on the Catawissa
Railroad, built by Stancliff, Col. Longs
bridges ON the New England Railroads,
and How's trusses at Harrisburg, have
not their equals across the Atlantic.
Then, again, in Europe many structures
are built that might have been avoided
IA few hundred rods of detour would
have saved the great Box tunnel. Now
we maintain that the location Of Sidelrs
division, for example, on the Erie, evinced
more skill in avoiding the necessity of
great structures than could be shown in
building them.
The stones on either corner Of the Ex-
change in Boston, built by Rodgers, are
larger than any single stone IN Cleopa-
tra's needle, and those now being put IN
TO the United States Treasury at Wash
ington are much heavier than any stone
of Pompey's pillar, or the Pyramids of
Egypt.
AS to the difficulties Of location, there
is no country where more science and skill
have been brought to bear than in ours,
and il is remarkable fact that in point
Of time, last year, our average travelling
was faster by two and half miles per
hour than in England, comparing our
principal lines with theirs, while the
charges on the American lines was but
little over half the English rates.
The reason why these things are not
generally known is, that here We build n
great work, announce its completion in
the same advertisement that heralds the
opening of the road, and no more is said
about il, except perhaps, what may APP
pear in one or two scientific periodicals,
where dry feet and inches, stress, strain
and toltion are discussed, and are never
read except by the professional engineer.
While on the contrary, England and
France, as soon as great work is built,
and while it is being erected, pictures by
thousands are published, medals are
struck and circulated, glass models are
made, and the illustrated newspapers show
it in every stage of progress and from ev-
cry point of view; the engineer is knighted,
if he is not already of the nobility, and
the fame Of the structure is sent from
land to land; while with US, rs we have
shown, may be found some of the most
gigantic works ever undertaken that are
passed by and over without hardly any
notice. 1t is remarkable that the best
popular descriptions Of our own public
works of great magnitudes are to be
found in the journals of France and Ger
many. Cor. New York Times.

HoME.-IIow touchingly beautiful arc
the relations of homel There each is
bound by an electric chain that seems to
pass to all hearts in the family group; so
that one can not enjoy pleasure unless all
partake in it. If one heart is oppressed,
all sympathize; if one is exalted, all must
share the happiness. 1t is in the home
where the aching heart is soothcd, where
the oppressed are relieved, the outcast re-
claimed, the sick healed, or falling, tho
tear of pure love drops from the mourn
er's eyes, when the dear ones are gathered
to their long home.

The PEACH BoRER.--A friend resid-
ing in North Carolina gives the following
mode OF destroying the peach borer, which
he has found safe and certain remedy,
if rightly applied: a.,s..t ,al, "A
Take the pickle in which meat has been
salted, or dissolve rs much salt as. will
dissolve in water. Make small cavity
in the earth at the root Of the tree--one
that holds quart for n small tree--pour
the pickle on the tree about six inches
above the ground, SO that il may run
down all around the tree, and stand a
little, so as TO soak the bark of the tree
and kill the worms. Urine answers the
same purpose well. This should be done
in the spring as soon as the frost is out
of the ground, and again in July.
Mr.. n. A. Bacon Of New Haven, in
the Hartford Homestead, gives his expe-
rience with the borer as follows:
My practice has been to lay bare the
trunk of the tree some three or four inch
es below the surface Of the ground, Then
remove with a knife any grubs white with
a brown head), if any there be in the tree
then take strip of woolen cloth Told
cast-off pieces Of carpeting | have used)
about six inches wide, wind il twice around
the tree so as to cover it about three inch
es above and the same distance below the
surface Of the ground, and tic it TO its
place with WOODEN yam, or other elastic
string. E
The eggs which produce the worm are
deposited by the parent at the surface OF
the earth near the tree, and, as the worm
when hatched, is unable TO penetrate the
woolen cloth so rs TO reach its means of
sustenance, it perishes-as | suppose
at any rate none Of my peech trees, pro-
tected as above stated, have been injured
10y the borcr, 50 long as the cloth around
the tree remained entire.

DARK HOURS.

There are dark hours, that mark the
history Of the brightest years. For not a
whole month in many Of the millions Of
the past perhaps, has the sun shone bril-
iantly all the time.
And there have been cold and stormy
days in every year. And yet the inists
and shadows of the darkest hours disap-
peared and fled heedlessly. The most
cruel ice fetters have been broken aud dis
solved, aud the most furious storm loses
its power 20 harm.
And what parable is this in human
life-of our inside world, where the heart
works at it, shadowing II the dark hour,
and many cold blast chills the heart TO
its core. But what matters itl Man is
born hero, and il is only in the dark
ness and storms that heroism gains its
greatest and the best development aud
the storm bears il Oh more rapidly to its
destiny. Despair not, then. Neither
give up; while one good power is yours,
use il. Disappointment will not be real
lied. Notifying failure may attend this
effort and that one-but only be honest
and struggle on, and il will work well.
