Home Virtuas.

In the secluded scenes of home life, by
influences direct and indirect, are many
of those traits of character formed and
tested which most cnnoble our nature, and
which are more serviceable to the world.
In the outward intercourse of life, the
thronging mart Of worldly interest," the
character assumes forms and expressions
which do not belong to it. Blinded by
selflove, or soothed by the fattery of the
world, the heart is hidden from itself, and
we appear, are for the moment, bettor
than we are Butin the privacy of home
the heart wears no holiday dress 1t is
there just what it is; and the thought
speaks out it's native language. To its
virtues come thronging no public honors
and praises. Home with. its wide field of
unobstrusive duties is spread alone before
the eye of divine approval, and it's labors
are Illuminated with the light of holy
love.
Youth never wears brighter beauty
than when, leaving the gildcd pleasures
of the world, it seeks in seclusion to min
lister to the comfort of an aged or infirm
parent. Nor does intellect ever beam
with greater lustre than when the pride
of reason bends to listen to the counsels
of q mother.
The continualrecurrenc of petty cares,
little labors of love, and constant oppor-
tunities for trifing acts of kindness, like
the chisel of the sculptor, mould and pol
ish the heart in perfect symmetry. And
doubtless a wise hand hath so mingled
the cup of daily life that, by its calls upon
our charity, patience, and self-control,
we may be fitted for our nobler, higher
home. Not day comes without its Pc
culiar trials; its duties which cali for full
filment glide away forever. The infant
brother prattles, disturbs US, and passes
on to manhood, but the patience his child
ish caprices fostered is our enduring pos
session. The infrm sister or parent calls
now for ceaseless activity, self-denying
effort; few days, and the wild flowers
tremble above her, and we rejoice in the
privilege of having ministered. And thus
with all the duties which flow from that
sweet word-Home. They are the school
for the highest talents, the opportunities
for the noblest efforts, finally to be crown
ed with the "Well done" of heavenly ap-

The Winter of the Heart.

Let it never come upon you. Live so
that good angels may protect you from
this terrible evil-the winter of the heart
Let no chilling influence freeze up the
foundations of sympathy and happiness
from it's depths no cold burthen settle
over it's withered hopes like snow on the
faded flowers; no rude blasts of discon-
tent moan and shrek through the desc
late chambers.
Your life path may lead you amid trials
which for time seem utterly to impede
your progress, and shut out the very light
of heaven from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place Of ease and
plenty; your luxurious home may be ex-
changed for a single low room, the soft
couch for a straw pallet-the rich viands
for the coarse food of the poor. Summer
friends may forsake you, and the unpity-
ing world pass you with scarcely word
of compassion.
Yon may be forced to toll YEARLY,
steadily on, to earn livelihood you may
encounter fraud and base avarice which
would extort the last farthing, till you
we'll nigh turn in disgust from your fel-
low beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind
you to the earth, and leave you in fearful
darkness. The noble, manly boy, the
sole hope of your declining years, may be
taken from you, whilst your spirit clings
to him with wild tenacity which even
the shadow of the tomb cannot wholly
subdue.
But amid all sorrows, do not come to
the conclusion that nobody was ever 80
deeply afflicted as you are, and abandon
every sweet anticipation of "better days"
in the unknown future.
Do not loso your faith in human ex-
cellence because your confidence has been
betrayed, nor believe that friendship is
only delusion, and love bright phan-
tom which glides away from your grasp.
Do not think you are fatcd to be mis-
erable because you are disappointed in
your expectations and baff1ed in your pur-
suits. Do not declare that God has for
saken you, when your way is hedged with
thorns, or repine sinfully when he calls
your dear ones to the land beyond the
grave.
Keep whole trust in heaven through
every trial; bear adversely with fortitude,
and look forward in hours of temptation
and suffering. When your locks are
white, your steps falter on the verge Of
Deaths gloomy vale, still strive to retain
the freshness and buoyancy of spirits
which would shield you from the winter
Of the heart.

Musical and Theatrical.

Mr.. Edwin Booths impersonation of Hamlet at
the Winter Garden, New York, is said by the
critics, to be an improvement even on his former
rendering of that part. At Wallack's they are
playing the standard drama, principally old
comedies. The new London play, Henry Dunba
or the Outcast, was to be produced on the 10th.
Miss Lucille Western still at Niblo's, doing the
sensational in the drama of East Lynne. At the
Broadway Mr.. Owen was having immense success.
The play Of The Peoples Lawyer has been en-

Mr. John Brougham was attracting very large
audiences at Mcyicker's Theater, Chicago. At

vorte actress of the Vaudeville theater, has en-
tered into formal contract with the agent of the
Walarbian Prince Couza, to accept the "protec-
ton" of that prince for the term of five years; in
exchange for which she will, on her return to
Paris, receive the sum of SOC, 900 francs, de-
posted with notary, together with the residence
purchased in her name in the Boulevard Beaujon.

One hundred and thrty-two general officers are
discharged to date from the 10th of the present
month, except those who are serving in Texas,
whose muster out is fixed for the lst proximo. A
