A. BRIDES THOUGHTS OF HOME
Dear home my heart siilfclings to thee;
hear the voices in nay drcam;
Beloved faces smile on me
Beloved forms around me seem.
I live through happy childish days,
When tender care'was round me THROWN
When all knew of love or praise
Came from my parents' lips nlones
My mother gentle lipR were wet
With tears of mingled grief and pride
The day ihe-wedd!ng feast wasset'-
The day that 1 became bride.
NY gray haired fathers trembling voice
Did bless me when the rite was DONE
And 10 the bridegroom OF my choice
He gave the bride that he bad won.
I left them all, dear home and friends,

who, fondIy smiling, DER me bends,
And whispers the sweet name of"wlie.
Yes, take me to thy heart. dear love,
NV refuge through the days to come
% j love thee, and my heart will prove
love thee, though sigh for home.

Every ono is to be considered an worth
nothing, except what he il worth over
Homestead. 6}t
Now those who are worth anything
over this exemption, are inclined to be
scarce, in this section at least. So thar
unless the few, who are worth something
over the Homestead, will become securi-
ty for everybody, where is anybody to
get security?
Every one who comes to prosecute, un
less he can find one Of these scarce sccu-
rites will have to go to Jail, until the
case is tried.
One would think that every few would
appear as prosecutors, If they had to lie
in Jail until the defendant was tried.
Perhaps they would never find the de.
fendant, and the prosecution would re-
maia in Jail life time. What fearful
dilemma !

Query.

How is any one to give bond and Sc
curity to prosecute, appear, or keep the
peace2
The Homestead Law exempts from
levy or sale under any execution, real
estate to the amount of $1,000 and per-
sonalty to the amount of $500. Judge
Carpenter at the last term of the Court
decided that no Magistrate or other Off
eer should accept any one as security to
any bond unless the party was worth the
amount of the penalty of the bond over
and above tins property thus exempted
by the Homestead.
1t is true that the Constitution OF Siie III
State, Sec. 16, Art 1, says that "exces-
sive bail shall not, in any case, be re-
quirod," but unless the security is worth

HARD TIMEs.-Under this head the
Suffolk Sun gives several severe Eits to
the hard times grumblers:
The cry of hard times, scarcity Of
money, and such expressions, has become
to us rather sickening. We do not be.
lieve half that people say in reference to
the times. Everybody is busy, and ye.
all the time complaining. Our people
dress rs we'll as they ever did. Their Ia.
bles, as general thing, are loaded with
plenty. Meats, vegetables, fruits, and
pastries in abundance. Why such con.
slant complaining The times are al.
ways hard to some people. And in the
most prosperous seasons in the history of
our country, there have been some un-
fortunate poor persons in every commu-
nifty with whom the times were always
hard. This will always be SO. But the
truth is, the constant cry of hard times
is with most people, simple cloak TO
cover mp their .covctousness. We are sick
of it.
