New York, July 81.
About dusk. last evening, a whole
family, consisting of man, wife and
two daughters, about Is and II years
of age, and two little children, were
rowing on the North river in a small
boat. When opposite Bulls Ferry
the boat capsized, and the whole party
appeared to have been thrown into the
water.
Two men immediately put out tc
their rescue, but before they could
reach the party, the man, woman and
the two eldest daughters sank. The
two little ones, however, were found in
the boat, which had righted, but was
half full of water. They were recued
and brought in safety to the shore. -
Both were too young to give theil

were unable to learn the names of the

The NATIONAL GUARD. The Nation
al Gnard organized under the new law
seems to be in n highly prosperous
condition throughout the State, al
though just now the warm weather
keeps the militia men quiet-as it does
most of the people.
Under the present law it is necessary
to hold brigade parades during the
year. General Plume has decided in
favor of ordering the parade of his
brigade in October next The exact
day will be decided by Governor Ran
dolph. The troops will be reviewed by
the Governor and General Runyon,
both with their full stats. This will
be the first appearance of the Cover
nor's new staff, i'll uniform.
The review and dress parade will
probably take place on Military Park,
Newark. The following are the names
of the organizations which will take
part in this fine display
First Regiment, Colonel Rockwell !;
Second Regiment, Colonel Mum;
Fourth Regiment, of Jersey City, Col
onel Van Buskirk Fifth Regiment,

This will be the first militia brigade

the occasion will be anticipated by all
militariy-inclined with the greatest en-
thusiasm. We learn that efforts will be
made to place as many of the regiments
as possible in the new uniform of the
National Guard
In the Third Regiment there is some
talk of having an eneampment. Col
Dehart has not decided when or where
the parade of his Brigade will take
place, but we are in hopes of witness
ing it in this city. If so, an imposi 6

Mr.. Seward, at San Francisco, ex.
pressed the greatest interest in viewing
for the first time the broad Pacific.
But at Sitka. for which he has set out,
he will find more interesting novelty
--one which not dozen persons in the
old States have ever seen. He will see the
sun standing still. as it did in the
days of Joshua. South Alaska is in
the latitude of sixty, very nearly the
same as that of southernmost Green
land. In that latitude the sun does
not set at all in Summer. Tt remains
about twenty five degrees above the
horizon at the hour we call midnight.
The only mode of knowing there that
it is midnight is to watch the sun when
it begins to ascend. Fowls go to roost
at 7 p NJ, and repose until the sun is
well up. In winter, it is of course the
reverse, as in the higher ATTITUDES the
sun is not seen for six weeks. 1t used
to be the boast of England that on its
empire on which the sun never sets.
Well we have empire on which the sun
only sets occasionally.

HOME. There is something in the
word home that awakens the kirdliest
feelings of the heart. 1t is not merely
friends and kindred that render that so
dear but the very hills and rocks and
rivulets throw charm around the
place of mans nativity.
1t is no wonder that the Hottest
harps have been tuned to sing Of
"home sweet home" The rose that
bloomed in the garden where one has
wandered in early years thoughtless
child, careless in innocence, is lovely
in its bloom, and lovelier in its decay.
No songs are sweet like those we
heard among the boughs the shade a
parents dwelling, when the morning
and evening hours are as gay as the
birds that MARBLE over us.
No waters are bright like the clear,
silver streams that wind among the
| flower decked knobs where in child
hood we have often strayed to pluck
the violet, or the lilly, or to wind a gar
land for some loved schoolmate.
We may wander away, and mingle
| in the "world's fierce strife. " and form
new associations and friendships, and
fancy we have almost forgotten the
land of our birth but at some evening
hour, as we listen perchance to the
autumn wind, the remembrance of 9th
er days come over our soul, and fancy
bears us backs to childhood's scenes,
and we roam again to the old familiar
haunts, and press the hand of COM
panions long since cold in the grave,
and listen to voices we shall hear no
more.
It is then feeling of melancht ly
steals over us, which, like, Ossian's
music, is pleasant though mournful to
the soul.
The Swiss general who leads his
army into foreign land must not suf
fer the sweet airs of Tyrolese to be
sung to the soldiers for at the thrill
ing sound they will leave the camp and
fly away to their own green hills.
How does the heart of the wanderel
after long years of absence beat and
his eyes fill, as he catches a glimpse Of
the hills of his nativity, when he has
pressed the lips of a mother or sister,
how soon does he hasten to see if the
garden, and the orchard and the stream
look MS in days gone by. We may fine
climates as beautiful-and skies as
bright-and friends as devoted ; but
that will not usurp the place of Home
