1t prevails in other places the same. We
have reference TO the setting out Of trees
around dwellings. How few people take
the time and labor necessary to make hone
attractive. What is it that makes your
sons and daughters so anxious to leave

may hot one reason be that home is not
rendered attractive by trees, flowers, vines,
paintings, music, and such likc9 Doubt
less people would be much happier if they
would only take moro pains to get all
these things around them.
As Americans We are very deficient in
this respect. Tho English are far ahead
Of us. Just look at their homestoads en-.
,iroued by walks bowers and trees of
various kinds, together with flowers of
every hue, and then say if You do not
love such spot. But such 4 homo may
be yours, if ye will.
Such things add much to the happiness
of life. They seem to introduce us to a
new world, as it were. Did You ever
know Of men passionatcly fond of flow

Flowers make US better and happier-the
ho!icr purpose within is strengthened, and
we are better fitted for tho stern conflicts
of life. Let then the homes of childhood
be made as pleasant as possible in this re.

THE PEMBERroN CATASTROPHE Re
cent examinations of the ruins Of the
Pemberton mills tend, it is stated, to show
great culpabity in the construction OF the
walls. The bricks in those parts Of tho
mill still standing, in the fourth and fifth
stories, have no mortar adhering to them,
showing that the mortar was deficient in
lime. The use Of this sand mortar is said
to be great cause Of insecurity in modern
buildings. In tho Pembeston mill, also,
the binding is pronounced insufficient
Only every tenth brick was & binder,
whereas every fourth bricl; should have
been. Moreover, what appeared to be
binders in somo places were only half
bricks. In space three feet long, in the
south end of the mill, none but haf bricks
were used; so that there were in that
place twenty tiers Of bricks without an in
tervening binder.

ORIGIN or LYNcu LAw.-Col. Chas.
Lynch, brother Of the founder Of Lynch
burgh, Va, was an officer Of tho Amer.
can revolution. His residence was on the
Staunton, in the southwestern part Of
Campbell county, now the seat Of his
grandson, Charles Henry Lynch. vt
that time this country was very thinly
settled, and infested by lawlcss band Of
territorial despcradoes. Tho necessity Of
the case involved desperate measures. and
Col. Lynch, then leading whig, appre.
hcndcd and had them punished without
any superluous legal ceremony. Hence
the term Lynch Law This practice Of
lynching continued for years after the war,
and was applied to many cases Of mere
suspicion Of guilt, Which could not be re-
gularly proven. "In 1872" says WirI's
Lif' Of Henry, "thcrc were many suits on
the south side Of James river for infic.ing

formed that there is no mandatory of watches in
that place Tho genuine article Of one grade OF our
watches is named P S. BARrLETT, wALrHAN, Mass,
and all our watches Of every grade are marked
"Fakham, Mas"
Itis hardly necessary to state that such watches
are like ours in ROhn only. and are made upon the
same old system that has already flooded the country
with watches that are not only 7exatious and con-
slant source Of expense, but really useless 70 the
owners, and when bought for genuine are calculated
to ipiure the high reputation which our watches
have attained. We therefore caution the public
against buying our watches from any person who
cannot furnish certificate Of Eenuineness iar sysrT

watch and the signature of the Treasurer of the
