DOMESTIC ORDER AND TAsTE.-We are
told by good critics that ugliness reigns
paramount in many of our modern houses.
There is truth in this observation. The fact
Is, we, as people, are not yet educated in
art or taste. 1t is possible so to educate the
eye as to enable it at once to discriminate
an object in good taste. Children, by being
accustomed to regard daily simple and cor
rect designs, will gradually become educat-
ed in love of beauty. Accustom them to
see ugly things, and their instinct for the
beautiful will very soon become extin-
guished. A glance OF the eye often teaches
child more than volumes of books could
do. The ideas and impressions thus ac-
auired are long-lived, aud survive all 9TH
ers communicated through the senses.
There is fund of truth in the maxim,
..seeing is believing" The education of
child's taste begins from the birth,
and it may be cultivated in the nur-
sery as we'll as in the school OF art,
The lessons there learned through the eyes
are imprinted in children's minds, and
their Instinct for the beautiful may be
| quickened by the familiar aspects of the
objects which are constantly surrounding
them. We love to see pictures adorning
the walls-we mean cheap prints, not ex-
pensive paintings-provided they contain u
beautiful thought, human beauty or lanG-
seape scenery. The poorest house may thus
be furnished now-a-days; for the methods
of multiplication of pictures by wood-cuts,
Autographs and engravings, are almost
infinite. Children will drink in thecimpres-
sIons given by a picture; for children love
pictures, and carry with them the early i'm
pressions through Lille. 1t speaks to US al
ways i'm the same beautiful tone, ana is
never out of temper. Begin, then, to cul-
tivate taste and art by procuring pictures
t. that will convey some idea of beauty, OF
nobleness, OF virtue and of endurance,

ed, and two men were downed. The re-

landing in the marsh, being drenched with
water, nearly perished from cold, but by
walking briskly for mile they reached a
farm house, where they were humanely
entertained and saved their lives.

of the preceding meeting were read and
adopted. Secretary Meeker laid before the
Club Communication from z. A. Conell,
Esq, Secretary of the Westerville and
Blendon Club, announcing the organiza-
tion of said Club at Westerville, with sew
enty-five members. On motion, the COM
munication was placed on file. The Club
was then ably and eloquently addressed by
Judge Rankin. The Judge gave a succinct
political history of this country; discussed
the nature of the Constitution-showed
how, it bad been and is being
violated by the party in power--forcibly
depicted the distress brought upon the
country by the Republican party, and
urged the absolute necessity OF harmony
on the part of Democrats; that they should
not now raise the question of weakened
orstrong-kneed Democrats; but all should,
according to their ability and strength, la
Dor harmoniously together to restore the
country to prosperity and happiness. The
speech was first-rate one-well delivered
and adapted to the times. rr
Hon. Robert Hutcheson, being present,
was called on for speech. This he de-
clined to make at that time; but he gave
