Our NATIVE LAND.-There is n charm
in the word home, and the sons of every
cline, when journeying Ger the earth, feel
their hearts leap for JOY at the thought of
their native land.
The dreary regions OF the north, with
their lofty icebergs, frozen seas, eternal
SHOWS, and long weary nights, and tho
sultry regions around the equator, with
Their burning sun, and hot, parching
winds, have their charms for those born
and bred among them. $3.50
Home again." is the joyous cry of the
mariner when he hoisls anchor and shapes
his course toward his native land. And
HHome, sweet home," is ever the SONG of
the wanderer in foreign cline. Thus
may it ever be with US, favored sons of
freedom. ,,
America, our native land, thou art dear
to us. We love thee for thy sweet mem
ories, thy priceless privileges, thy relig-
ious freedom, thy noble mountains, fair,
green hills and charming wales.
Our fathers fought for thee; that they
might find in thee home, and in thy
lands their children's heritage; and now,
east and west, north and south, from tho
Atlantic coast 10 the shores Of the Pa
ci6c, and from Names wild forests to CAL
ifornias golden lands, all--all is ours.
When the great Napoleon stood upon
the summit OF the snow-topped Alps and
threw his eagle eye down upon the fair
plains of Italy, with her sunny wales, her
gentle streams and noble bay, it rested
upon no fairer lands than those which re.
pose upon Che bosom Of our mighty
West.

APPLEs.-There is scarcely an article
of vegetable food more widely useful and
more universally loved than the apple.
Why every farmer in the nation has not
an apple orchard, where trees will grow at
all, is one of the mysteries. Let every
family lay in from two to ten or moro
barrels and they will find il to DO 10 them
the most economical investment in the
whole range of culinaries. A raw mellow
apple is digested in an hour and half;
while boiled cabbage requires FIVE hours.
The most healthy dessert that can be
placed on table is baked apple. If
freely used at breakfast, with coarse bread
and butter, without meat or flesh Of any
kind, it has an admirable effect on tho
general system, often removes constipa-
ton, correcting acidities, and cooling off
febrlle conditions more effectualy than
the most approved medicines.
If families could be induced TO substi-
tute the apple-sound, ripe and luscious
for the pies, cakes, aud other sweetmeats
with which their children are too often in
discreetly stuffed, there would be dimi-
mutton in the total of doctors bills in a
single year. sufficient TO lay in a stock Of
this delicious fruit for whole seasons

AFRICAN RAILRoAD-A CArFRE RACE

AFRICAN RAILRoAD-A CAFFRE RACE.
The war of railroads has been carried
into Africa. In the month of June last.
a railroad was opened for connecting the
colonies Of Natal, and the Cape, on which
occasion there was a grand assembage of
Of wondering Caffres TO see the iron horse
for the first time. The engineer inten-
tionally run his engine at first very slow
ly, when quite a number of the athletic
sons Of the desert thought they would
try the steam horse race. Onward they
went together for about two miles, the
woolly heads getting close to the front,
when they yelled with defiant exultation
at beating the steam devil, rs they called
the locomotive. At this place the en-
bankment, which before was somewhat
wide, now became high, narrow and steep.
The spirit of the iron horse was now fair
ly aroused, so giving three tremendous
snorts, he started of at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. The last act which the
engineer saw the dusky runners perform,
was the execution of series Of ugly som.
ersaults on the top of each other down
both sides of the embankment.

the leaven had leavened the whole lump.
After two or three such friendly visits,
Mrs. Baldwin took some tracts with her.
They were not only kindly received, but
different families met together to hear

IN MEMORY.

Another little form asleep,
And little spirit gone; III ,aHJ
Another little voice is hushed, s.
And little angel born.
Two little feet are on the way
To their home beyond the skies,
And our hearts are like the void that come
When strain Of music dies.
A pair Of little baby shoes,
And lock Of golden hair
The toy our little darling loved,
And the dress she used TO wear;
The little grave in the shady nook
Where the flowers love to grow
And these are all of the little hope
That came three years ago.
The birds viii sit on the branch above,
And sing n requiem 1t -1 e..
To the beautiful little form .
That used TO sing to them.
But never again win the little lips
To their songs of love reply;
For that silvery voice is.blended with
The minstrelsy ON high.

WAVES OF FIRE.--A traveller in The
Sandwich Islands, while visiting the vol
cano near Hilo, Witnessed q wonderful
phenomenon. AS he was sitting at lunch
on high bank overlooking the crater,
with his face turned 10 avoid the intense
heat, he was startled by noise like the
rushing together of vast bodies of water,
and was obliged to run to escape the great
heat. The whole surface of the lake was
in the widest commotion. Great pillows
of fire rolled from every side Of the lake,
meeting tho fierce conflict, receding and
rushing together again with increased
force, shooting into the air, perhaps a
hundred feet, a vast spiral body of red
liquid lava, which finally combined over
and fell in graceful spray back into the
lake again. When the lake was restored
to its usual order, it seemed 10 have fall
