HOME CoURTEsIEs.-A correspondent
gives us this experience 6 am one Of
those whose lot in life has been to 90 out
into an unfriendly world at an early age !;
and OF nearly twenty families in which |
made my home in the course of about
nine years, there were only three or four
that could be properly designated as hap
Ply families, and the source of trouble
was not so much the lack of love as the
lack of care to manifest it." Tie clos.
ing words of this sentence give us the
fruitful source of family alterations, of
heartaches innumerable, of sad faces
and gloomy home circles Not so
much the lack of love as lack of care to
manifest it," What world of misery
is suggested by this brief remark ! Not
over three or four happy homes in TWEEN
ty, and the cause so manifest and so east
ly remedied All, in the " small, sweet
courteses of life" what power resides
In a look, a word, tone, how much Of
happiness or disquietude may be com
municaled. Think Of it, reader, and
take the lesson home with you.

II have now before Inc 4 letter to friend

fond Of his grog and a good joke, and a.
ways ready for fight whenever it may suit

their blood-thirsty proc1iyities.

with the measles, determined to visit them,

from lis gallant colonel, under protest that 1c

The first or second night after his arrival at

dead at the door. The captain then ordered
him to come out, which he refused 10 do, and
in turn invited them to come in and exchange
bullets there. This they declined to do, and
immediately opened Gre on his house through
the doors and windows, the Squire returning
the fire as fast as he could. This was kept up,
the Squire thinks, about one hour, when his
assailants left, leaving three dead in the yard
and carrying off five mortally wounded, {since

and lis sick family came ont from their hid
