Eun al Home.

Don't be afraid ofa little fun at home
good people! Don't shut up youl

laugh shake down some Of the musty
old cobwehs there. If you want t.
luin your sons, let them think that al
mirth and social enjoyment must belief
on the threshold without when they
come home at night When once
home is regarded as only place to eat
drink, and sleep in, the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and reck.
less degradation. Young people must
have fun and relaxation somewhere; il
they do not find it at their own hearth
stones, it will be sought at other and
perhaps less profitable places. There
fore let the fire shine brightly at night
and make the homestead delightful with
all those little arts that parents 50 per-
fectly understand. Don't repress The
buoyant spirit Of your children. Hall
an hour of merrimens round the lamp
and freight Of home, blots out The
remembrance of many a care and an
noyance during the day; and the best
safeguard they can take With them In

A PARLoR GAME.-There is nice

persons engage in it is often very
amusing, Our little folks, land large
ones, too, play it in this way: All leave
the room except one, who has a thinble,
which she places somewhere in plain
sight; when the rest are called in they
seek for it, and whoever finds it first,
has the privilege of trying his or her
skill in hiding it from the restnext time.
Tho the thimble may be in plain sight
the hunters may have TO look some
time to find it which, of course, adds
interest to the game.

Dickens new story, George Silver
mans Explanation" has the following
characteristic passage:
''Mother had the grippe and clutch of
poverty upon her face, upon her figure,
and, not least of all, upon her voice.
Her sharp and high pitched words were
squeezed out of her, as by compression
of bony fingers on lesthern bag; and
she had way of rolling her eyes about
and about the cellar, as she scolded, that
was gaunt and hungry. Father, with
his shoulders rounded, would sit quiet
on three-legged stool, looking at the
empty CRATE, until she would pluck the
stool from under him and bid him go
bring some money home. Then he
would dismslly ascend the steps, and |,
holding my ragged shirt and trousers
together with hand (my only braces),
would feint and dodge from mothers
pursuing grasp at my hair. A worldly
little devil was mothers usual name for
me. Whether | cried for that was in
the dark, or for that | was cold, or for
that was hungry, or whether squeez-
ed myself into a warm corner when
there was fire, or ate voraciously when
there was food, she would still say, %,
you worldly little devil And the sting
of it was that | well knew myself to be
a worldly little devil. Worldly as to
wanting to be housed and warmed !;
worldly as to wanting to be fed; world
ly as to the greed with which l inward
ly compared how MUCH got of those
good things with how much father and
mother got, when, rarely these good
things were going"
BURNS AND ScALDs-In the st. Louis
Medical Reporter we find the following
prescription for this painful accident.
1t is especially useful when the cu.icle
or scarf skin has come away to con-
siderable extentl 'ETake one drachm of
finely powdered alum and mix thorough
ly with the white of two eggs and one
teaspocnful of fresh lard, spread on
cloth, and apply to the parts burnt. 1t
gives almost instant relief from pain,
and by excluding the air, prevents ex-
cessive iDfamatOry action. The applics-
tion should be changed once a day.
While on the subject we give another
formula for an application to burns: In
severe cases, clear creosote may be en-
ployed, followed by dressing to con-
sist of creosote one drachm ia teaspoon
fuD, simple cerate one ounce, mix thor
oughly. The ointment is sufficiently
strong for most cases. On the concur
rent testimony of several physicians,
headed by DR.. o. E. Brewster, the
suggester of the remedy, it almost i'm
mediately and completely relieves the
pain and smarting.

This good old Saxon word { WIFE is,
after all, the dearest and most sacred
word in the whole vocabulary of love.
Around it clusters all that's most beauti-
full, chaste and permanent in the tender
passion. Into whatever forbidden paths
the heart Of man may wander, still it
must return, at last, to the hsllowed
name of WJs for consolation and rest
Any other relation between the sexes,
however alluring to the imagination,
invariably ends in wretehedHess, shame
and. degradation.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10. 1868

A mighty cry of joy went forth
through all the star, because the moth
er was reunited to her two children.
And he stretched out his arms and cri-
ed, 30 mother, sister, and brother, am
here! Take mep And they answered
him "Not yet" and the star was shin
ing.
He grew up to be man, whose hair
was turning grey, and he was sitting in
his chair by the fireside, heavy with
grief, and with his face bedewed with
tears, when the star opened once again.
Said his sisters angel to the leader,
"Is my brother comet"
And he said, "Nay, but his maiden
daughter"
And the man who had been the child
saw his daughter, newly lost to him, 8
celestial creature among those three,
and he said. "My daughters head is
on my sisters bosom, and her arm is
round my mothers neck, and at her feel
is the baby of old time, and / can bear
the parting from her, God be praised r
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came tn be an old
man, and his once smooth face wa
wrinkled, and his steps we're slow and
feeble, and his back was bent And
one night as he laid upon his bed,
his children standing round, he
cried, as he had cried SO long ago.
81 see the star"
They whispered one another, "He il
dying"
And he said 81 au. Ny age is fall
ing from me like garment, and l move
towards the star as child. And O.
my Father, now thank thee that it ha'
SO often opened to receive those deal
ones who await me |"
And the star was shining; and il
shines upon his grave.

There is city, builded by no hand,

OF storming soldiery for evermore.
In that pure city of the living lamb
No light shall shine of candle, or Of sun
Or any star but He who said IL am
Shall be the lamp, He and His holy one
Nor shall we longer spend our gift of tim'
In times poor pleasures doing needfu
things
Of work or warfare, merchandise or rhyme
But he shall sit beside the silver springs
That flow from Gods own footstool, and be
The saints and martyrs, and those bless

Who loved us once and were beloved @

To dwell with them and walk with then

Musical motion the perpetual play
OF every faculty that Heaven bestows,

The Man who Ate alae First
Oysters.


An article illustrating the philosophy
of manias contains the following: He
was bold man who first swallowed an
oyster, says. De Quincy. Conceive a
shipwrecked Phenician sailor scramb-
ling over the wet rocks, perhaps one
who has tasted no food for three days.
He notices these little bivalves for the
first time in his life; accidentally he
touches the open shell of one, and it
closes. He tried to insert splinter
from his broken ship, which is floating
by him, where he saw the two shells
together, but is unsuccessful. At last
he separates the lower she'll from the
rocks by striking it with loose stone,
and makes an opening for his splinter,
and thus at last tears apart the liga-
ments by which the oyster holds bis
own. He starts at the strange, and to
him disgusting lump of fieshy substance
then be touches it with his finger, then
smells of IT. He hesitates, and finally
throws it away. An hour after, i'm
PEELED by gnawiug painsin his stomach,
and fear of a horrible death, he goes
to the place where he threw it search
er for it, washes it clean in limpid
pool left by the tide among the rocks,
and after many wry faces and futile ef-
forts, with prayer to Jupiter, swallows
it. His heart heaves once or twice, but
as his tongue rolls round his palate, he
is forced to admit there is nothing un-
pleasant in the taste left in his mouth
He imsgines once he feels symptoms of
a gripping pain, but that passes off An
hour later he feels so much better that
he looks for another oyster, and before
the sun goes down behind the wstery
horizon he has eaten two. With an
other prayer to the gods, he makes for
himself hole in warm, dry sand, above
the tide mark, and goes to sleep with
his last thoughts turned to the home
which, after his rash venture, added to
the other dangers of his situation, he
hardly expected ever to see again.
When, on the next day he meets his
comrades and persuades them to eat oys-
ters, be finds that it is less difficult for
others to follow his example than it was
for him to set it and. within year or
two all the sailors in the Phoepiiiap
navy, and all the inhabitants in ports
visited by Phoenicisu ships, eat oysters
regularly. So oysters became scarce,
and the original discoverer of their val
ue as food, on some occasions, when
sitting on the beach taking friendly
meal, complains that there are so many
folks hunting after oysters that he can
not obtain over six or eight dozen day.

CHURCH MUs1c.-Out in Indiana
they have church choir which give,
some remarkable turns 10 the good old
tunes. 1t is a custom in the church
for the men to occupy the body of the
church while the ladies cast down their
witching glances from the gallery, In
singing the men carry one part and the
women another and the following is one
of their opening hymns, the first stanza
coming with uuwonted feryor from the
gallery:
''0h for man
Oh for man
Oh for a manifestation of thy love-
And the men below respond.
'tSend down Sal
Send down Sal
Send down Salvation to thy people. 4"
