Pleasant Homes.

The homes of America will not become
what they should be until true idea OF lie
shall become more widely implanted. The
worship of the dollar does more to degrade
American homes than anything, than all Times
else. The chief end of life is to gather gold.
and that gold is counted lost which HANGS .
picture upon the wall, which purchases flow
ers for the yard, which buys toy or a book
for the eager hand of childhood. Is this the
whole of human life? Then it is a mean,
meagre, and most undesirable thine.-A child
wilig forth from stall, glad to find free air
and wider pasture. The influence of such a
home upon him in after life, will be just none
at all, or nothing good. Thousands are rush
ing from homes like these every year. They
crowd into cities. They crowd into villages
They swarm into all places where life is cloth
ed with higher significance; and the cid
shell or home is deserted by every bird as
soon as it can fly. Ancestral hondesteads and
patlimOnial acres have no sacredness; and
when the father and mother die, the stran-
gers presence obiteratos assoc atoms that
should be among the most sacred of all
things.
would have you build up for yourselves
and for your children, a home that will never
be lightly parted with--a home which will
be to all whose lives have been associated
with il the most Interesting, precious spot on
earth. l would have that home the abode of
dignity, beauty, grace, love, genial fellowship,
and happy associations. Out from such a
home l would have good influences flow into
neighborhoods. In such home would see
ambition taking root, and receiving generous
culture. And then would see YOU, young
husbands, and young wives happy. Do not
deprive yourselves of such influences as will
come through an institution like this No
money can pay you for such a deprivation.
No circumstances but those of utter poverty
can justify you in denying these influences to
your children.-T Timothy 1stconb.

The Foundation.

Dig deep, and lay your foundation well, is
our earnest advice to every awakened soul;-
Every revival merely brings into the church
more or less of what may be called shaky
professors" Their religious life is frail, ILL
built, lettering, and sure to come down in the
first stiff gale of temptation. The simple rea-
son is that there was no underlying goodness
based on Jesus Christ. When you see huge
crack in the third-story room of a tall man
sion, you may at once suppose that there is
something wrong in the foundation. So with
religious profession that is not bottomed on
the Lord Jesus Christ. Sooner OF later the
crack appears in the daily life: or else the
fimsy structure leans over from tho perpen-
dicular 81 like bowling wall and tottering
fence. Even il it manages to hold itself up
Until the dying hour, the tremendous surge Of
death tumbes the whole edifice of presump-
ton and falsehood into utter, irretrievable
ruin. When the last storm descends, and the
be the fall of it," for eternity can bring no re-
pair of the wreck

Do Good.

Thousands of'men breathe, move, and live
pass off the stage Of life-and are heard of
no more. Why? They do not a particle of
good in the world; none were blessed by them
as the instrument of their redemption. Not a
word they spoke could be recalled, so they per-
ished; their light went out in darkness. and
they were not remembered more than the in
sects of yesterday. Will you thus live and die
man immortal? Live for something. Do
good; leave behind you monument of vir-
tue, that the storms Of time can never destroy
Write your name in kindness and love, and
mercy on the hearts of thousands you may
come in contact with year by year. You viii
never be forgotten. Mol your name, your
deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave
behind, as the stars on the brow of the even.

she goes at the single silver chime
Dark and soft are her eyes and hair;
one carries away my heart and eyes.
And leaves me her kiss at the loot OF the stair.
Her white, firm arms are round my neck;
Her heart and her eyes and her mouth kiss mine
Kissing me words she will not speak,
Kisses as sunshine mingled with wine.
She passes away up the broad hall stair,
Into the shadow, out of the light,
With the last "Good night the night is coming

THE beauty of a religious life is one of its
greatest recommendations. What does it pro-
fess? Peace to all mankind. 1t teaches us
those arts which will render us beloved and re-
spected, and which will contribute to our pres
ent comfort as well as TO our future happiness.
Its greatest ornament is charity; it inculcates
nothing but love and sympathy or affection /:
it breathes nothing but the purest spirit of de-
light; in short, it is a system perfectly cacu-
lated to benefit the heart, improve the mind,
and enlighten the understanding.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

:. Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
Their efficacy established by well tested experience In
the hands of regularly educated physician, whose
flfii vt t s.ues nus MN Ior an tS @ mS
anu cure-as purportng to be the best in the world
are NOT only useless, but always injurious The un-
l0rtunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting his
physician. as 1t is q lamentable yet incontroyert-
aole fact, that many syphilitic patients are made
miserable with ruined constitutions by maltreatment
tor it is point generally conceded by the best syph
ographers, that the study and management of these
complaints should engross the whole time of those
who would be competent and successful in their treat
ment and cure. The inexperienced general praclit-
Toner, having neither opportunity nor time to make
himself acquainted with their pathology, commonly
pursues one system of treatment, in most max
ing an ndiscrmnate of that antiquated and dan
gerous weapon, the Mercury.

Distribution of Colonel Colts Estate

From the Hartford Times 25M.
The distributors OF the large estate of the late
Colonel Samuel Colt began to-day the work of
apportioning he property, under the terms OF
the will. f. NJ. Waterman, N. H. Morgan, and
i. D. Tiffany are the distributors.
The estate, real and personal, probably
amounts to between three and four millions
say S35COCOO Ut may be more, for the value
of some remote real estate is not exactly
known) 1t includes among the real estate all
the land inside of Colts Dyke, some of it
already built up with handsome brick houses
and large streets land great deal more would
have been built had Colonel Colt lived); an eX-
tensve tract on the east side of the river, Oppo-
site the Ferry; Il tract on the Hartford and
New Haven Railroad; a large tract OF land in
Cluding gold, silver, and quicksilver mines, in
Arizona-a portion containing Ct is said) some
of the most extensive tracts in the mining regions
of Arizona. THIS has never been appraised, and
its actual value is not very well known, tho ugn
il is certain to be in the future an important
property. Colonel Colt sent out $4,000 worth
of Mining machinery, but owing to the misma-
nagement OF others he did not get any return
on it, and the breaking out of the war stopped
the progress OF the work. There is also in his
real estate, We believe, valuable tract of land
in Texas.
The shares in the Arms Company, and other
personal estate, make large aggregate sum.
The distribution will be among quite num-
Der OF personG-perhaps dozen or more; and
to Colonel Colts WIDOW and son, among others,
very handsome property will be LETT.

THE SUNFLOwER.l
By LORD THURLow.

Behold, my dear, this lofty flower;
That nov the Golden ,un receives:
No other deity has power
But only Phpbus, on her leaves;
As ne in radiant glory burns,
From East to West her visage turns.
The dial tells no tale more true
Than she his journal on her leaves,
When morn first gives him to her view,
Or night, that her of him bereaves,
A dismal interregnum bids
Her weeping eyes TO close their lids.
Forsaken OF his sight, she pines
The cold, the dreary night away,
Till IN the East the crimson signs
Betoken the great col of day;
Then, lifting up her dropping face,
She sheds around a golden grace.
o Nature, in all parts divine
What moral sweets her leaves disclose
Then in my verse her truth shall shine
And be immortal as the rose,
Anacreon's plant; arise, thou flower,
That hast fidelity thy dover
Apollo, OIL whose beams you gaze,
Has filled my breast with golden light;
And circled me with sacred rays,
To he a poet in his sight:
Then. thus / give the crown to thee,
Whose impress is fidelity.
