Home home. sweet, sweet home!
Be it ever so humble, there is no place like
homer
Oh words, oh ! tunes, of more than
earthly melody, there is such truth in you
as starts the ready tear! There is mo
place like home"-the house which con-
tains our father and our mother, our hus-
band and our wife, or the house which is
ones own. But there are two things
without which no such place like home
can be, on earth or elsewhere: Loved
and loving friends must be there, and
YOU must have secured to you, either by
right or money or by right of love, the
privilege of doing your own will and
pleasure there-restricted in naught but
this. that you regard as much the rights
and the comforts of others as you do your
own.
Were the truth known, it would be
seen that very few persons in this world
have in reality home. There is so lit
tie unselfishness, the love, the comfort,
the freedom, that there ought to be among
equal friends, even in their own homes
but how much less of these things have
they who are doomed to be perpetual in.
cumbents Of abodes of others. Let him
that hath home, around whose CHEEKY
fire-side loved ones cluster, and there
keep warm and welcome place for him,
whose neck is encircled morning and
evening with the embrace of unselfsh at
lection, "a home where every member OF
the circle gives and receives joy and bles
sing by his or her presence-let him who
has such home thank Heaven for the
greatest blessing earth can bestow A. NJ

HAT COURTESY hat plays an
important part in demonstrating courtesy.
1t is not every man, however, who can
uncover his eqpat gracefully yet the art
is worth acquiring, for the salute, when
elegantly performed, always makes IA
vorable impression on society, and espec-
tally on the ladies. Hands and fortunes
have been won, ere now, by hat and hand
politeness. Some gentlemen imagine that
merely touching the brim of their etapedur
is sufficient expression of their respect for
the ruling sex. They are mistaken. The
beaver must be fairly lifted from the
head to satisfy them and a slight flourish
of the same, accompanied by an obeisant
movement of the head and spinal column,
renders the act, in their opinion, doubly
charming, Elaborate attempts at this
exploit are made quite often on our streets
but it must be confessed that most of
them are failures. Our exquisites oyerdo
the the thing. There is a golden mean
in the management of the hat which they
unfortunately miss-their ambition over
leaps it.

cold water out of this TIN cup You do
not know how beautiful Mrs. CarTington's

dinner, and asked me into the dining
room to get my money. The tea things
were silver and the plates china; and lit
tie Ellep, who Is no bigger than | am,
had cup of coffee and little silver cup

things on the table-fresh fish and chick
ems, and everything 30 good Don't you
wish we were rich people too, mother"
"My little girl must be careful to keep
Giant discomfort out of her heart If she
would be happy. We must be content to
live in the sphere in which God has placed
US, for he knows a great deal better than
we do what Is good for us. II you had

thankful for your good, wholesome sup

tie Clara, her eyes filling with tears. Il

COOKING OYSTERS. the oyster

recipes for cooking them Will be generally
approved after a trial
SPICED OYsTERs-Two hundred ovs-
tiers, two dozen cloves, FIVE dozen allspice,
also mace, cayenne pepper and salt to
taste. Strain the liquor through sieve,
put it in saucepan and add the oysters,
spice, pepper, salt and half pint of
cider vinegar; place them over a slow
fire, and as soon as they come to a boil
take them off, pour them into large
bowl, and set them away to cool; when
cold, cover them close.
OYSTER PATTIEs. a rich paste,
roll it out half an inch thick, then turn a
teacup down on the paste, and with the
point of sharp penknife mark the paste
lightly around the edge of the cup, then
remove the cup and cut entirely through;
then with the point Of the knife make a
circle about half an inch from the edge,
cut this circle half way through, place
them on tin and bake in quick oven;
when done remove the centre and fill
with oysters prepared as follows: Rinse
the oysters, put them in a pan over the
fire, and when they become hot stir in the
cream, butter and cracker; season to your
taste with salt and pepper. When they
are scalding hot they are sufficiently
cooked.

From tho Southern Farm and Home.l
Planting Fruit frees.

The season for transplanting trees Is
now at hand. A few practical hints on
the way to do ii SO as to ensure their
healthy growth, may be Of value to those
who purpose to engage in the work. 1t
only needs attention and a little knowl-
edge, but it Is essential that that knOwl-
edge should be acquired and that atten-
ton paid if it is expected that the trees
should live and thrive.
The writer set out a number of tru!t
trees in the beginning Of 1860, under the
direction and management of DR. Berck-
man, the famous pomogolist and botanist
Of Augusta, Ga, and out of the number
planted not more than one tree in one
hundred failed, and that failure was
more attributable to a defect in the tree
than in the mode Of planting. More Wig
orous, thrifty or fruitful trees than those
which DIR. Berckman planted cannot be
found now in any part of Georgia.
The following is the method which he
pursued, and we can confidently recon-
mend Its adoption, because we know it is
good.
First The hole for fruit tree of or
binary size, should be made from three
to four feet in diameter, and Of sufficient
depth to receive all the roots without
examining or twisting them, and so as to
allow them as near as possible to retain
their natural direction and position. Let
the tree be set in the same position in
which it stood in the nursurv, and do not
plant it too deep. Cut Oft all bruised on
torn roots with sharp pruning scissors,
and prune the top of the tree freely so a.
to balance it thoroughly.
Good rich compost, of which finely
pulverized mould should be principal in
gredient-in no case stable manure
should be applied close to the roots, and
as the earth and compost are being shov-
eled in, the tree should be gently shaken,
| taking care TO preserve the perpendicular
until the fine earth has filled up all the
hollow places round the roots, and the
tree has become firmly set. This is q
very important work, and should be care
fully and patiently done. After this is
done the earth should be lightly pressed
round the tree, commencing at the outer
edge of the hole, and ending close to the
stem.
Water should not be used in transplant
ing fruit trees.
Fruit trees should have plenty of room,
and should not be planted closer together
than twenty feet each way.

why Var. Peabody Never Married.

1t has been contended by some of our
ablest thinkers that the greatest amount of
good done in the world has been bestowed
by bachelors. Whether this be true or
not, we often wonder that many men, IA
nous for their kindness of heart and gen
crosby of disposition, should remain sim
gle through life. There is no more re-
markable case ofthis sort than that of the
late George Peabody. 1t is said that in
his history there Is romance that per-
haps has never yet been made public
A number of years ago, when Mr.. Pea
body was just entering upon his career of
success as a business man, in Baltimore.
he met by chance in the street poor girl
who was but child but whose pleasing
face and gentle manner attracted his
notice. Questioning her as to her parent
age and surroundings, he found her in
every way worthy his regard, and fit
subject for his benefaction. He at once
adopted her as his ward, and gave her an
education. As she advanced in age, her
charms of person as well as the brightness
of her intellect, won the affections of her
benefactor. Through this relationship he
had ample opportunity of watching her
pIOSI6Sc, anu " DGI hOtI upon
his affections grew stronger. AT length,
as the ward bloomed into womanhood
though much her senior in years, Mr..
Peabody offered her his hand and fortune
Gratefully approaching his generosity,
and acknowledging her attachment for
him rs almost father, she with great
feeling confessed that honor compelled
her to decline the acceptance of this, his
greatest act of generosity, informing her
sutton that her affections had been given
to another, a clerk in the employ of her
benefactor.
Though disappointed and grievously
shocked, the philanthropist sent for his
clerk, and learning from him that the en-
gagement had been of long duration, Mr..
Peabody at once established his successful
rival in business, and soon after gave his
benediction upon the marriage of his
ward. This, it is said, was the first blow
his heart received, and it is possible that
from this episode came the inspiration
that made the future of Mr.. Peabody 50
universally distinguished, and has rem
dered his name famous as a remarkable
public benefactor.- Y. Sun.

The effect of overstocking pastures was
very forcibly set forth some time since by
Mr.. jameson In the Country Gentleman.
Many pastures, be says: are so orerstock-
ed that the roots of the grass and the
whole plant are kept so small that its
growth Is feeble, and not half the feed i
afforded that the land would produce il
stocked lightly year or two, and the
grass allowed to get a good thrifty start.

where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmate poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-

proach of its premOnitory symptoms. It's not only
the best remedy ever vet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest The large
quantity We supply for dollar brings 1t within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should

ZION A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intemttents is that it contains no lulnine
or mineral consequently il produces no qtiinlsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
