A HAPPY HoME Ina happy home

bearing spirit-there will be no peevish.
ness, no fretfulness. Unkindness will
not be in the heart nor on the tongue.
on, tho tears, the sighs, the wasting of
life, and health, and strength, and time
OF all that is most to be desired in a
happy home, occasioned merely by un.
kind words. The celebrated Mr. W. es.
ley remarked to this effect namely -
That fretting and scolding seemed like
tearing the flesh from the bones, and
that we had no more right to be guilty
fthis than we had to curse, to swear,
or steal. In perfectly happy home
all selfishness will be removed. Even
as "Christ pleased not himself" the
members of happy home will not seek
first to please themselves but to please
Others.
Cheerfnlness is another ingredient in
happy home. How much does the
sweetness emanating from heart fraught
with love and Kindness contribute to a
happy home. How attracting, how
soothing is that cheerfulness that is
borne on the &C ntenance ofa wife and
mother How the parent and child, the
brother and sister, the mistress and
servant, dwell on those cheerful looks,
those contiding smiles that beam from
the eye, and burst from the inmost soul
of those who are near and dear. How
it hastens the return Of the father -
lightens the care ofthe mother--renders
ltmore easy for youth to resist temptation
and drawn by cords of affection, how
1T induces them with loving heart to the
parental roof .r ,,,
Oh, that parents would lay this sub.
Ject to heart, that by uhtiring efforts
they would so far render home happy,
that their children and aomestics shall
not seek for happiness in forbidden
paths. '@ =" x

A SHARP REToRT.

Hon. Charles Francis Adams, our
Minister to London, lately turned tho
tables handsomely on Earl Russell, in
a correspondence upon the duties of
neutrais. Said Earl Russell, in defcnd-
ing the action of tho british Govern
ment:
I 81 cannot refrain from observing
that Her Maiesty's Government have
been far more successful in preventing
brooches Of neutrality with regard TO
the fitting out of cruisers to take part
in the civil war in North America than
the Government of tho United States
werc in preventing the fitting out OF
ships of war to aid the South Ameri-
can Republics in their revolt against
Spain, which, however, then stood in
tile position OF central authority re
sisting insurrection.
TO which Mr. Adams, more historic
ally learned than the Earl, replied as
follows:
Whatever may have been the de-
ficiencies Of tho United States in the
instance alluded to, compensation
therefore has boon madc to Spain, an
her full and free release has been Civ
on under the sanction Of her hand to q
solemn treaty. WhcnOver Her Maj
esty's Government shall acknowledge
itself prepared to perfect the parallel
the example may be cited against th'
United States, but not till then.
