American Homes.

The homes of America, says Timothy Tit
comb, will not become what they should be
until true idea of life shall become widely
implanted. The worship of the dollar does
more to degrade American homes than any
thing else. The chief end of life is to gather
gold, and that gold is counted lost, which
hangs picture upon the wall which purchases
flowers for the yard, which buys u toy or book
for the eager hands of childhood.
Is this the whole of human life? Then it
is q mean, meagre and most undesirable thing.
A child will go forth from such stall, glad
to find free air, and wider pasture. The
influence of such home upon him in after
life will be none at all, OF nothing good.
Thousands are rushing from homes like
these every year. They crowd into cities.
They crowd into villages. They swarm into
all places where life is clothed with a higher
significance; and the old shell or home is de-
serted by every bird as soon as it can fly.
Ancestral homesteads and patrimonial acres
to such children have no sacredness; and
when the father and mother die, the stran>
gers presence ebiteTates associations that
should be among the most sacred of all things.
would have you strive to build up for
yourself and for your children a home that
will never be lightly parted with-a home
which will be to those whose lives have been
associated with it the most interesting, pre-
cious spot on earth. l would have that home
the abode of dignity, beauty, grace, love, ge-
nial friendship and happy associations. Out
from such home 1 would have good infuen-
ces flow into the neighborhoods. In such
home would see ambition taking root and
receiving generous culture. Aud then
would see you, young husbands and young
wives, happy. Do you not deprive your
selves of such influences as will come through
an institution like this. No money can pay
you for such a deprivation. No crcumstan-
ccs, but those of utter poverty, can justify
you in denying these influences to your chill
dren.

The Largest Hotel in America.

Few people who pass through Broadway are
aware that on that buatling thoroughfare; be-
tween Amity and Bleeker streets, there is now
in the course of erection, on the site ofthe old
Lafarge Hotel, one of the largest and most
magnificent hotels on the Western Continent,
which, when completed, will throw into tho
shade the largest hotels in this country, rival
ling even the Grand Hotel at Paris in
maanifcence. Since the disastrous FIRE in
April, 1867, which destroyed the Winter
Garden Theatre, under the bafarge House,
that hotel has been closed.
In March last it was sold at public auction
by the heirs of the Lafarge estate to E. 8,
Higgins, Esq, who is recorded fourth on the
list of wealthy citizens, TOR the sun OF 81 ,000s
600. This gentleman determined on erecting
the largest hotel in the country, and will
doubtless succeed, as whom completed the new
hotel will contain $50 rooms, 200 more than
either the Fifth Avenue, Metropolitan, or st.
Nicholas Hotel, and 100 more than the cele-
brated "Liudelp' Hotel Mt St. Louis, which
was burned some three years ago; 300 Of the
rooms will be parlors en- suite. II is to b6
named the Southern Hotel," and is do
signed to accommodate 200 guests. Il
will be eight stories in height, stirmounted
with three Gothic towers on the Broadway
front. Three elevators, which will perform
the trip from the first floor to the attic in
thirty seconds, will be in use for the benefit OF
guests night and day. One item alone, up
holstery and furniture, will involve an expen-
diture of 81 400, 600, the articles mentioned
having been ordered from Paris and this city.
The halls and rooms will require carpeting
sufficient to cover seven acres, and will be of
the finest quality-Brussels and velvet. All
of the rooms will be heated with steam, and
on each floor hydrauts, hose, and everything
necessary, will be furnished to extinguish
FIRE. There will be three large dining rooms
extending from the main hall on the second
story to the Mercer>S'reet wall, tho largest
of which will accommodate 500 guests. There
are at present $50 men employed on the build.
ing, and the contractor calculates that he will
complete it by the lst of june next, but tho
hotel will not be open for the reception OF
guests until the following August. When
completed, it will have cost the proprietor
81 100000.
