Homo.


Home is one q the most beautiful words
in our language--one which we all cluster
around in holest affection. We cling to
il in foniest memories and holiest Of ties
Of friendship and love. o how happy are
our childhood hours. There is some loved
spot that our fond memory wapders back
to. but alasl there is none which calls to
memory such fond recolections, MS that
dear and beloved home. 1t is our delight
in health and our resting placos - sick
poss. 1t is the ark Of safety in all cur
temptations or trials and bcreayements.
There is not one, no, not one, il they ~
look to the past, but has some fond recol-
lections to bring forth of the pleasure or
pastimes Of home. Fit is but The mumur-
ing brook, the nice green lawn, garden
of lovely flowers, or the old oak tree where
they have spent many happy hours. As
we look from the open window and view
these things, it reminds US of that beau
tiful place called home. With what pleas
ure the absent look towards home. Let 1t
be on pleasure, duty or business, with what
sense of relief do they look for the hour
Of departure for the loved spot, homo.
As, for instance, look at the soldier.
He goes from his father, mother, sisters
and brothers. He leaves his home with
tears mingling in his eyes, and thoughts
on his mind, why is that spot so dear to
me? lie marches on in triumph to the
battlefield. Harkl he hears tue buge
sounding. 'Tis the signal for the fight.
He sees his comrades falling. He hears
it more than once repeated. Oh, if |
could only see my mothers face, could her
hand be placed on my hot and feverish
brow, and hear those sweet and consoling
words which naught but a kind mother
cau-give. Then how truly he feels there
is no place like home. Perhaps there is
no one, but IL he had lived to get home,
he would fain make it far more precious
and Of richer promise than all others Ia
this world beside. But alas how many
such home dreams ended iD horrible re-
ality in the last few years of struggle for
liberty and the Union.
But enough Of this. You will think /
am wandering. But how often it has
been said, and how truly, "Let it be ever
so humble, there is no place like home"
la old age, or in youth, when tie mind
wanLers back from the present 10 the past,
to where we were taught the first lessons
of love ana truth and duty. which only the
loved ones at home can give, it cheers us,
it lightens our hearts 10 think how hard
our lot may chance to be in this land of
yexations and troubles, that we were once
happy in our childhood hume. But alas!
fhose dnVa are rome never 10 return. nm
til we are called to go to that home, that
blissful home, where sin and sorrow can
come no more. MoLLIE b.

FOR Girls VINO "cheM Gum" !"

A great many American giils have az;
quired the particularly disagreeable hsbit
of chewing gum. Perhaps they would
like to know how gum is made.
"The greatest gum ma Afaeturipg cstab-
lishment is said to be at Podunl, Massa-
chusetts, and the fame Of their gum (and
the gum itselfy is in the mouth Of all ,ba
world. One of the employees Of that estab-
Iishinent, who has become thoroughly
initiated into the mysteries of the mat-=
nfacture of the gum, was recently dis
charged from that establishments, and has
since diyulge. the process By which these
quids, winch young Americans mastcate
with such velocity and apparent salts
Iaction, nre inade. The gum is made Of
certain parts OF gum arabic, gum trsg.=-
aganth. dhd small quantity Of resin and
fat. The fat used is not lard, that being
too expensive, but is substance expressed
from dead hogs, cats, dogs, aud other an-
imals found on the commons OF the city
This is not the worst Of il. After the
various ingredients are melted together in
a huge kettle, certain kind of alkali is
put in for the purpose Of Whitening the
gum. This alkali is the same that is used
by dyers with indigo to give deep and
permanent blue to flannels."

High VS.. Low Lands for Fruit Growing


A correspondent of the Country Gem
tleman says: a.o
at is a common remark that our Hills
are cold during the winter, and they who
live upof the plains aud in the valleys
fatter themselves that they are favored
with sheltered situations and niilder at
fnosphere. But the mercury sinks lower
on the low lands than il does cn tho hills;
the forests are later in Spring aud earlier ia
autumn; the season is shorter, and con-
squently the hills are more favorable for
many varieties Of fruit than the wales. Ell
"Fof several years ! have observed that
the peach orchards on the hills and noun
tains have borne full crop when every
bud will be killed on the plains. 1t is so
this year, my trees are now in bloom, while
not q flower is seen on the fats half mile
below. and only few hundred feet lower
So it has been with the cold during the
last of April Though the ground froze
on the hills no fruit buds were injured.
While tho eoi@ ,-es 80 Ss-~.s below as to
destroy buds on the cherry.
"That. tire season is longer on the hill is
evident from the fact that my Isabellas
and Catawbas are usually thoroughly ma
turcd as high north as the south line Of
Massachusetts. But the early forests cut
them on low lands all around me. In the
plains in the evening one feels damp
chill in the atmosphere, which changes to
warm current upward as you ascend the
hills"

"Yes, struck with a ball ahd broken"
"That finger,j joint?'

Good Advice.

A distinguished gentleman is reported
to have given the following advice TO the
son Of friend entering upon life, about
the time that he himself was under notice
to quit it: You are young aud inespe-
rienced, take my advice-esrh' money
and save it. If you do not, you will pre-
pare for yourselfa dithonored old age,'
and when your hair is gray aud your ts-
ciities fail, you will haTs no alternatives

How To- Remove Wrinkles. :.

1t is said to be satisfactorily demonstrated
that every time wife scolds her husband
she adds n wrinkle to her face. 1t is
thought the announcement Of this fact will
have the most salutary effect, especially as
it is understood that every time wife
smiles on her husband 1t will remove one
of the old wrinkles.
