HOME AFFECTION When we think
that every house might be cheered by
intelligence, Observation-Disclosures and re-
fnement and then remember in how
many houses the higher powers and
affections Of human nature. are buried
as in tombs, what darkness deepen
and enlarge, especially after so much
Boosting of ours that we are in the van
of the nations of the world for intelli-
gence and refinement and general cul-
ture. How many homes are really
cheered and made happy by the intro
duction OF suitable books, of music, or
of interesting social conversation ? In
how RAINY houses might not miracu
lous change be brought by the intro
duction of amuSements. the presence
Of which gives birth to brood of new
thoughts, awakens q distinct class of
domestic associations, stimulates the
higher and warmer sentiments, opens

of good and healthy work, and in
sensibly draws all members of a fami-
ly together, making one whole and
harmonious circle, where before VAS,
perhaps, only di$cord. The influences
of these little things are far more pot
ent and permanent than people gener-
ally have an idea of they work act
lively, seven if they are not seen, in the
very fact of their operation. We
greatly err when we underrate these
influences f r they take hold closely
and powerfully on our lives and our
happiness. A family in whose midst
no radiance springs from the workings
of affection, and tender sentiment, is a
dweller in regions of darkness indeed,
and will never know their real capacity
for enjoyment until they have come
out of this valley of gloom and despair.
What wonder that our public affairs
are in such state of confusion, when
private lives are so many of them un-
aud in darkness.

The GUIL1orINE IN ROME. - Two
young men Monti and Toguetti, who
attempted to blow up the Serristori
barracks, were executed in Rome on
the oath inst. The correspondent of
the London Herald gives long ac-
count of it: 1.-The executioner march
ed in front. A brother of the Miseri-
corde held a crucihX in front of the
prisoner, whose arms were tied behind
his back, and who was supported by
his confessor. The executioner first
assembled the scaffold, and gave glance
around to see that everything was in
order he was almost Immediately fol
lowed by the condemned who appeared
very weak, and kept repeating Miser-
ecorde. Almost Immediately after
ward the head fell. Lifting the dis
severed head by the hair. the execu
toner showed it to the soldiers, and
then placed it on the scafiold beside
the body, which his assistants had ia
ken off the plank. He then wiped the
knife with sponge and raised to its
former position, while his assistants
threw sawdust upon the pool of blood
which triekled through the woodwork
of the scatfold. After that came the
turn Of the younger criminal Again
the brethren of the Misorecorde enter
ed the Conforterio. The unfortunate
criminal, who was III 1t very excited
state, begged for mercy. The confess
ors tried to calm him, hut in vain, and
at last he was led forth, Il hite cloth
having been thrown over his head in
order that he should not see the body
of his companion. His sobs and cries
were barely audible, he could scarcely
sustain himself, and in tremulous voice
kept repeating Miserecorde. The
priest assisted him to mount the scaffold,
and gave him some absolution while
the assistants were binding him to the
fatal plank Even as the knife descend
ed, the cry of Miserecorde' rent the
morning air. The executioner showed
the head to tho troops as he had done
the first, and then the bodies were
placed on cart and carried to the
church of st. John the Beheaded. The
priest remained upon the scafiold and
made an address to the people. The
eXeeutioner threw sack of sawdust
over the blood of the criminals, and
then descended from the scaffold and
disappeared, and Immediately afterward
the troops returned to their barracks. "
