New York, and that his place is to be filed

siness than to theirs. iiT7

A MAN who, in the struggles of life, has
no home to retire to, in fact or in memory,
is without life's best defenses. Away from
home, shut off from the income of those
Influences which feed his life-from those
relations along which the life of God is ac-
castomed to flow to him o man stands
exactly where evil will the most readily get
the mastery of him. A man is always
nearest to his good when at home and
furthest from it when away.
WIRE baskets, made to be suspended
from the curtain poles of windows, are now
sold in most of the wire-workers' and IRON
mongers' shops 1t is time to begin to put
them into sc. Nothing is better for the
interior than q good ordinary garden pot
and saucer, wherein the plants are to grow.
The basket should be lined with dry moss,
which can be purchased in sixpenny bun
dies, already dyed of a permanent green.
The saucer can be well bedded into this,
and then the pot will stand in it firm.

into the ground. The man was knocked
senseless, but soon recovered. The sensa-
ton, he he said. was not very painful, but
seemed like the pricking of sharp pins.

A Happy reunion was ccnsummated in

COTTON SEED mas Deen IounO AVAILABLE Dy
Lancashire Eng. manufacturer for the
production of paper of a very excellent
quality. Of all substitutes for rags hither-
to tried, it is regarded by practical Judges
as the most desirable. One important fea-
ture in its use is that it renders necessary
| little alteration in the ordinary machinery
of paper mills. This discovery is of great
value to the southern states. Some of the
best paper mills in the country before the
war were in Virginia and North Carolina,
and the quantities of cotton seed that could
be furnished at their very doors will enable
them to manufacture the new paper to the
best advantage.

there will be an excursion through to St.
Louis on the new road and the North Mis-
souri, which latter company has leased the
st. Louis and ST. Joseph road.
