Gone are thy glories, Summer but hast thou

Home. sweet Home.

''Violet vane'' Ia pretty name) thus
pleasantly pictures it, There is no place
like home, after all. No matter where you
have been or how gaily the time has passed,
when at last you come back to your own
house, and set foot upon the familiar floors,
and taky your seat at the family table, you
rejoice. Man is a home loving animal by
nature. You may have been in finer places
and fed On dantier viands, but the charm of
ownership hangs about your somewhat fad
ed curtains, and those tables and chairs,
scratched by ehildrens fingers and grazed by
little restless boots and somehow pork and
beans, or apple dumplings, taste better at
home than any fine made dishes elsewhere,
though they were superintended by a jewe II
of a French cook. People sleep best in
their own beds also, and only look like them
selves to their own eyes, in their own look
ing glasses. Did you ever notice that it is
always so? Mrs. Smiths mirror causes
you to look broad and fat and Mrs. Jones
glass causes you to look long and thin. At
your friends in Boston you always fancied
one side of your face out of drawing, and
when you We're at your Quaker cousin S in
Philadelphia they had a sad colored mirror,
which made you look upon yourself as
ghost. The first time you catch sight of
yourself in your own home looking glass,
you feel like saying, 'How are you?
havn't seen you for an age 1t is very
odd too, but to woman, nobody's tea is like
her own. There does does not seem posi-
bility ofmaking any great difference where
people buy the same quality, yet the results
are as various as the dispositions of the tea
brewers. You never enjoy any ones tea as
you do that you make yourselfor have made.
Then, away from home you are always
obliged to be on your own good behavior.
You feel like making a merry remark or al
lusion, and restrain yourself Ten to one

in what we believe psychologists call ''the
! sphere of strangers, and when you reach
home after long absence, the truth of this
is very apparent. A glance is better un-
derstood than a sentence anywhere else, and
''your folks" always know when you are in
| fun and in earnest. Not to be obliged TO
set upright and smile even if you have the
headache, to talk whether you have anything
to say or not, to laugh at anything comical
without hurting any ones feelings, and to
be cross if you want to enjoy that luxury,

The military commission, Of which Gen.
eral Wiston is President, has been in ses-
sion here during the past week. The
case of William Hunt, late Superintendent
Of vessels st Fortress Monroe, is under
trial, and the developments are exceeding
" interesting. Among the points elected
are the payments Of $4,000 in fees to SEN
ator Hale, by Hunt, to obtain his release
from the Old Capital Prison, today.
Captain Cone, Of the steamer John o.
Warner, testified that the boat was worth
about sea. 900 when she first wentin the
Government service. That a. the rate Of
her charter she had earned Si7S 900 up TO
date. That the Government had supplied
her coal, and that her average running
expenses we're from 81, coo 10 $1,000 per
month, which were betrayed by goods soil
on board, and by good profits on meals
and berths. She belonged to the Delaware
River Steamboat Company, Of which J. X.
WeLherell, Of Philadelphia, was President,
and Andrew NJ. Anderson, W. 9. Allen,
W. Paxton and s. Harlan, Directors.
Captain Cone swore that the first char
ter was made with John Tucker, late First
Assistant Secretary Of War, and the Sec
ond with Quartermaster General Meigs.
The prosecution has Overhsuled other fat
Jobs in the sieambost line. As the evil
dsnce stands thus far, it appears as if there
had bsen ring of contractors interlOck-
ing with the one at Baltimore with which
Bilger was connected. The steamer West
Ead, an old boat, was offered in New York
for S55, 600, but was chartered to the Gov
ernment from March, 1862, to October,
1863 at S35 900 per anDum.
