FUN AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of a little fun at home, good people. Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade the carpets; and your hearts lest a hearty laugh should shake down some of the old cobwebs there. you want to ruin your sons let them think that all mirth and so- cial enjoynents must be left on the thresh- hold without, when they come at night. When once home is regarded as only q place to eat, drink, and sleep, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and reckless degradation. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere, and if they do not find it at their own hearth stones, it will be sought for at less profta- ble places. Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night, and make the home stead delightful with all those little arts that parents so we'll understand. Don't rcpress the bouyant spirits of your chil- dren; half an hour of merriment around tie lamp and freight of home, blots out thc remembrance of many care and an- u vance during the day, and the best safeguards they can take with them into lNo world is the influence of a bright little tnily sanctum.

Tidiness in Farmers Wives.

Martha, who we will venture a cookey sa Quakeress, talks to farmers wives through the Germantown Telegraph in the following very sensible strain.
 'sThere is nothing that marks the char acter of the housewife so clearly and un- mistakably as personal tidiness'. It is no excuse to say that "I have had so much to attend to today that I have not had time to dress" &c., and thus continue slovenly looking all day. lam not willing either to admit that household duties should be a bar to tidiness in its proper sense. I do not mean that person must be at all times "dressed up;" but surely household work, of whatever kind, does not interfere with having a clean frock on, however common, nice plain collar, and a smooth head of hair. There is all the difference in the world in different house. wives in this respect. Some always look bright and "smart;,' but others never look decently clean in the morning, they seem to have no idea that anybody ever notices their personal appearance while engaged in their household duties, or that it is a matter of the least possible concern to anybody They forge. that they have a husband, who was won when in full dress, and studied to attract him by the addition it gave to their persons, without regard to the time and trouble it required, whose eye is as sharp now as it ever was, and whose sensibilities are just as acute. He may not complain; he may have found out by sad experience that all complaint is futile; but he feels and suffers tfe change, and is forced to settle down into listless indifference, without hope to brighten the future.
 With respect to the children also, what an example for them! The daughters will be educated in sad school to take upon themselves the responsibilities of house hold. Mothers! you should set bright example before your children in this as well as other respects. The Bible says "Cleanliness is next to godliness;" hence, your teachings should embrace the prac- tce as well as the theory of religion, es- pecially in it's everyday applications in the family.

Circular.-The undersigned takes this as one of the methods to inform his friends, as will be seen from the above card, that he has formed copartnerihip for the purpose of doing an exclusive commission business. In doing so he thanks his friends for all past favors, and asks for continuance of the same by consignment of their cotton and other produce, from one dozen eggs up to one thou sand bales of cotton. Our Mir. Nevils has had long experience in the selling of cotton, &c., and is considered one of theibest cotton sales men in the city. pledge myself that all things that may be entrusted to us shall have my personal attention and shall be promptly and correctly attended to, and..strictly account ed for. As firm we owe nothing, and we have entered into an obligation not to endorse nor accept for any one unless we have the cotton, &c, in hand. That being our policy, we will in no case have to sell one mans cot ton to pay another mans debt to keep from going to protest. Having been citizen of Arkansas for the last ten years, ana having had a large acquaintance in the Confederate army, fiatter myself that we shall receive a liberal share of patronage, and that shall yet be able to make living, and with that am determined to be satisfied.

Dor-itPay 10 4 d,erIi.e i,

Some six or eight years ago, the town
of VinelaDd. in New jersey. was COM
parstively a wilderness. The land was
considered worthless, because nobody
lived there. and nobody lived there be-
causc il was thought impossible TO cul-
tivate the soil Reasoning thus in
circle. by assuming as correct what ev-
eryLody said TO be true, it is probable
that the country TO this day might have
remained in its normal state, had not a
clear head detected the fallacy and an
industrious brain by correct reasoning
arrived at an entirely different conclu-
sion. A thriving town of ten thousand
inhabitants has sprung up, who have IN
their midst FIVE churches, fifteen school
houses. mills, manufactures, railroads
and all the cOnveniences found in the
oldest settlements of New England.
These changes nave been brought about
bv the intervention and direct agency
of Mr.. Charles X. Lands. This he did
almost and we think entirely by adver-
Using. Certainly there is no reader Of
the New England papers and but very
few familiar with the Western who has
not heard, seen and read of "yineland."
1t was advertised extensively and hence
attracted general attention; it was adj
vertised continuously, and hence not
forgotten as soon as heard of: it was adj
vertised in a truthful. fair and gener-
Gus manner, hence people believed what
they read, and then being influenced
thereby. went to see for themselves.
Thus has been built up the most pros
perous and thriving town in New Jer-
sey, and it is this judicious system of
advertising that has been instrumental,
in a great degree, in bringing it about
We make these remarks for the benefit
of those of our citizens who have town
lots TO sell in any of the rural dis
tricts. If you would succeed in dispos-
ing of them and building up town, ad-
vertise freely and judiciously, and by
all means advertise TRUTHFULIS.

before the Court on charge of illegal
liquor selling, preferred by one Mozart
ney. Counse appeared for the defend
ants, and l.rge number of witnesses
for the same were summoned. Mozart
ney testified that he had obtained a
drink of liquor in Horkheimer's store,
and paid ten cents for that same. This
voluminous testimony closed the evil
dence for the prosecution. As rebut-
ting testimony, large and respectable
number of gentlemen appeared, who
stated. under solemn kiss-book oath,
that they would not believe a worl
that Mccartney said under any cir
cumstances, and that his general repu-
tation was that OF profound liar. The
man that Mccartney said he bought the
drink from stated that he never sold a
drop less than pint at one time. The
case was dismissed at the cost of the
complainant, Mr.. Mccartney. ,sr
