bTf Homes.
ny Aunt RESA.


Home, sweet home, is sung by oil, from
the lordly statesman who sojourns awhile
to Oil our halls of legislation, with his elo-
qaence, to the lonely wanderer in the fac
OF land of gold, as he lies down at night
to dream Of that loved spot which be
may never see. Yes. this all-pervading love
of home is found everywhere, and well will
it be with those, who have had such prin-
ciples Justified into their minds in the deer
old home, as shall enable them to fight
manfully the battle Of life, and resist the
daily, aye, hourly temptation to sin.
But do we think as much as we ought,
Of making our homes, all that they should
be Is it the burden Of our daily prayer,
how shall we make this sacred spot more
attractive, and home ties more biudinr.
Vice is on the increase. prison must be add
ed to prison, for the accumulation Of crime.
Every paper comes teemng with the most
atrocious murders, and daring robberies.
Fathers, mothers, look well to your hoase-
holds, for the sin must lie at our doors, for
he who says "train up child in the way
he,shouId go, and be win not depart from
it," cannot lie Encourage your chidren's
confidence. Do not by your harshness and
impOtience with the failings of youth, as
well as want of tact, in judging of their
trials, drive them from the home circle, for
that sympathy, that should ever be found
at the freside. Let your home arrangements
be such (no matter how humble) that they
will be proud to introduce their young as
sociates to their home. Mothers, and sis
tcrs, upon y0a devolyes a mighty task.
Few husbands and brothers but what might
if properly influenced, be induced to
spend their leisure hours by their own FIRE
side. Do not make your arrangements for
the world. Let them see that their COM
fort is uppermoSt. Sing for them, your
sweetest song wear for theni your gayest
smile. Aye, impress upon them, that one
word Of approval from them is worth more
to you, than the applause of the whole
world Oh make your homes the bright,
beautiful, loving places, they should be-
Let the pleasant freside be the centre Of
attraction, and yourselves the magnet, that
shall draw them, from the vices and allure
meuts of the world There are times when
the memory of such home comes over
me with tenderness no words can describe
and dims my eyes with tears. Then /
thank God had such home, and moth
err Though the flowers have budded and
blossomed many times since we laid that
dear mother to rest, trust her influence is
still being felt in other homes, whose heads
have reason to thank their Maker for
the best earthly gift,-a pious mother.
Fathers, mothers, will it not be sweet when
we come to lie down in death, to think
that we have so endeaVored to do our duty
by the children God has entrusted to our
care that, by and by, we shall meet, an
unbroken family, aud walk through the
green pastures and by the still waters of
the New Home"

The Old Homestead.

Every heart hath some fair vision,
Every soul some fond delusion,
That will ever make intrusion,
And will never flee away
Thoughts that seem to grow and deepen
When all other thoughts are sleeping,
When youths days away are creeping,
And the black hair turned to gray.
My old home l we'll remember,
When love and so oft did wander,
To sing a song or lonely ponder,
Ger the deep and starry night,
Oh, that medow seemed so holy,
And its flowers so fresh aud lovely,
That it soothed my soul within me,
And refreshed my weary sight.
There slept mid grassy bowers,
There loved mid blushing flowers
Twas there l dreamed in lonely hours.
Ah that was joy enough for me,
Here the fountain bright and sparkling,
From the mountain gushing, gurgling,
Ger the pearly pebbles rippling,
Joined the laugh in joyous glee.
Those scenes have passed--youth's fairy Wis
ION
Hath given to maturer reason
All the beams of fond delusion
That once filled my youthful mind
Other skies and clouds are DER me,
Days of darkness, blank and lonely,
disappointment, falsehood only,
Around all pleasure seems entwined.

But still as no names are mentioned, the
curse is merely set up in market for any
body to take whom it suits and as one gen
tlemen remarked, "In default of news here
in Rome, the Excommunication will be
talked of, but in Sardinia and Tuscany peo-
pie will scarcely give it thought"
A gentleman who was in the Sandman
legation some years since, said that an ex-
communication in precisely the same form
was launched at Victory Emanuel some
years ago when he disbanded the monas-
teries and converts that had no benevolent
purpose connected with them. The King
paid no attention to it, and assisted at a
grand mass directly afterward as it is
thought he will now. 1t is understood on
all hands that General Lamoricier is to
take the command of the Papal troops
Thus the pope is falling more and more in
to the arms of France, much as he hates
her.
Genearl Lamoricier is of liberal and re,
publican principles, and the Liberals hail
his accession as a good omen. Such is the
con dit de salon" at present. An italian
gentleman last evening told me that being
at st. Peters yesterday at about 3 O'Clock,
he saw a procession of young men of no
BILE families who came in and made their
orisons at the various shrines, for the Pope
in his troubles On inquiry he found that
they had been solicited to do so by iOritten
invitations to which they were requested
to return aCritten affirmation or negative. -
This he said will be Wanted in foreign

THRIFT AND HEALTH BY returns made
to the Registered General IN France, it APP
pears that persons who are "well to DO"
live, on an average eleven years louger than
those who are dependent on their daily la
bor One reason for this is the health
giving influence of composue of mind an
other, that forhandness removes the necessl-
ty for hard exposures. The important truth,
is shown by the fact that the average Of
life of those who belong to the Society of
Friends in England, is some fifteen years
greater than Of Others in the same sphere
of life, the Friends being the world over,
models of thrift and quient composure.a
AS judiciouS economy promotes thrift,
we propose it to our readers as a medicine
safe aud efficient, applicable to all clhnes,
countrys, and classes. 1t is hard to take"
to some, but steady persistence ia its prac-
tice soon makes it a habit, when it is rather
easier to be economical than to be extraVa'
giant. .r
Extravaganza, waste and carelessneSs

have a demoralzing effect on those who
may be benefited thereby in a material
point of view. Persons seldom thrive whose
occupations or modes of obtaining a living de-
pend on chance, they are in agreatmessute

stock brokers, robbers, wreekers, hunters,
miners, ofice-hclders, and spectators in gen

FOREIGN NEws-The steamer Arabia, which
arrived at New York Saturday morning, brings
three days later foreign intelligence, her dates
being the l7th March. The House of Lords
had agreed with the House of Commors in an
address to the Grown in appreciation of the new
commercial treaty with France by q vote of
68 to SO. Announcement had been made in
both Houses of Parliament of the reception of
a circular dispatch from the French Govern
ment relative to the Savoy question. Mr..
Thouvenel states that the annexation of Savoy
ed position of Italy. but that the feelings of
the People of Savoy will 9e consulted The
European Powers are, however, to have moth
ing to say in the business. 1t is now stated
that the order for the French army in Lom-
hardy to be ready to march at a moments
notice has been counterma nded. There is also
a report of rather Buncombe character to
the effect that the Emperor Napoleon has sent
an autograph letter, couched in angry terms,
to the King of Sardinia, against the acceptance
by the latter Of Tuscany notwithstanding the
recent test of universal suffrage. He may, how
ever, name Prince of his own house for Tus-
cany, and the Romagna may be governed by
a Vicar acceptable to the Pope The Swiss
Federal Council has protested against the an
nexation Of the neutgazed districts of Savoy
to France The result Of the election on the
question of annexiDg Tuscany to Piedmont was
largely in favor of annexation. The arrests
and banishments in Naples were continued,
and a reign of terror prevailed there The
British and other foreign Ministers, it is said,
have demonstrated with the King. In Austria
the symptoms of social and political dissolution
continue to manifest themselves in most re-
markable manner. The condition Of that En-
pire renders it unlikely that Francis Joseph
will undertake new war against his late vic
tOrious enemies, except he is driven into it by
irrepressible necessity. 1t is expected that the
annexation of the Romagna to Sardinia will
be followed by the accommodation of both

DEATH FROM Coroner
CHURCHILL of Owego, called last Sunday morning
to hold inquest the body of HANS KINNEAR, who
was found dead in his bed at Stevens Hotel in Cane
wana. The owego Times, referring to the affair, says
Poor Kunear's fate is melancholy one-one that
young men might reflect on with some advantage. He
died in the prime of his days-died miserably from the
effects of liquor want of and general dissipation
He was brought up by Jacob Catn Esq, of Toga, and
lived with him for number of years. and respected
and esteemed by the family About FIVE years ago he
left and has since been drifting about from business
and from place to another, still sinking. We have
never heard that he guilty of any more heinous
crime than constant tendency to drunkenness.

have been about 25 or 30 years Of age

And this fully accounts for the inexpressible
meanness of that organ, even in contrast with
others Of like stripe.
But the testimony of Gen. Bowman before
the Committee disclosed one or two rather
suspicious circumstances. Mr.. Bowman is
supposed to be the Senate printer. But he
testifes, after much wriggliDg and dodging,
that he never had done the work himself, but
that be had contracted with Mr.. RiVes, to
do the work for the sum of &c 2.3d cents on
the dollar-Mr Rves furnishing all the type,
presses, labor and paper, and paying Bowman
33 l-3 on the dollar for the privilege of doing
the work And after being thoroughly cor
nered by the Committee, Bowman was con-
strained to admit that he had not dollar in
vested in the public printing. The fact then
seems to be that Gen. Bowman, editor of the
Presidents organ, receives upward of$60,O 600
per year, for doing nothing at all out of
which stipend he supports the organ, and the
Pennsylranian and Argus of Philadelphia,
together with sundry donations to certain
doubtful districts in Pennsylvania, just before
the general elections.

for It's admirable adaptation of facts to the
elucidation of the subject in hand, we regard it
as most creditable to the intellect of its author
and not excelled by any document put upon
record by the Legislature during its present

acts of the founders of the State are most per-
tnent, and cannot fail to correct public opinion
in those counties. touching the true policy Of a
