Arrangement Of Rooms.

Give your apartments expression-char-
acter. Rooms which mean nothing are cheer.
less indeed. Study light and shade and the
combination and arrangement of drapery,
furniture and pictures. Allow nothing to
look isolated, but let everything present an
air of sociability.
Observe a room Immediately after num-
Der of people have left it, and then, as you
arrange the furniture, disturb as little as pos
sible the relative positions of chairs, ottomans
and sofas. Place two or three chairs 10 q
conversational attitude in some CHEEKY cor.
ner, an ottoman within easy distance of q
sofa, chair near your stand of stereoscopic
views of eDgravings, and one where good
light will fall on the book which you may
reach from the table near.
Make little studies Of effect which shall re.
pay the more than usual observer and do not
leave it possible for one to make the criticism
which applies to so many homes, even Of
wealth and elegance" Fine carpets hand
some furniture, few pictures and elegant
nothings--but how dreary !" The chilling
atmosphere is felt at once, and we cannot di-
vest ourselves Of the idea that we must main
tain stiff aud severe demeanor to accord
with the spirit Of the place.
Make your homes, then, 30 cozy aud cheer
iul that, it we visit you, We may be joyous
and unrestraincd, and not feel ourselves out
of harmony with our surroundings.-Art Re-
rteto.

Now, Johnny, suppose you were riding a

your hand, and all at once the horse were to
stop and refuse to go any farther, what would
you do ?"
Johnny stihed up his sobs for a moment
and looking up through his tears, innocently
replied, " I'd cluck to him, SIR"
But, Johnny, suppose he wouldn't 20 fol

I" I'd get down and lead him, SIR"
And what if he were obstinate, and would
not let you lead him ?"
Why I'd /. Ike of his bride and turn him

Johnny could not be made to see the neces.

daily work, and cleanliness and beauty the
cheapest of household plenishing. We know a
young couple who, during the war, married
withan outfit Of 500 year, an utter disregard
OF fashion, much love, and an absolute faith
in sef-help and the help of God. They have
never lacked necessity or comfort Of life,
their .snuggery of home, which opens daily
to the best people in Boston, is remembered
by every guest as one would remember a
heartsome, beautiful picture. Yet there is
not Turkey carpet or costly picture in it.
Any pair Of true lovers, who will put aside
fashion and conventional opinion for common
sense and good taste, may marry with a like
chance Of success. In the West, of course,
and IN country towns, more tangible comfort
Is procurable fora small income than in the
seaboard cities; but something is lost in ab-
sence from the headquarters of art, music,
literature, whose qualifications here are cheap
as daily air. In the cities, too, an educated
wife has thousand chances of helping her
husband. In this point, indeed, lies the sec.
