Evenings at Home.

Evening, in nine eases out OF ten,
gives us the idea of home. That subtle
mixture of personal comfort, Of rest, of
family affection, of social enjoyment, of
abstraction from the vulgar sides of
life, of tender appreciation Of its do
mestie poetry, which we call home,
seems only to be realized when the bus
tie of the day is~ione. The country
parson ho.meets his family at break
fast, at luncheon, at dinner. who jostles
against his wife all the morning, and
takes his daughter out for walk in the
afternoon, retireS quietly othe solitude
of his study when the day goes down.
The city merchant, OH the other hand,
or the barrister of Lincoln's inn, has
whirled away to office or chambers
a breakfast table where he has buried
himself i'm his letters or his papers.
He spends the day in ali arid wilderness
of ledgers or cases. busy, hurried,
quicktempered, peremptory lawyer or
man of business from head to foot. The
work has got to be done, and he does
it keenly and thoroughly, but it is not
his life. All the real manhood within
him is hung up with his great coat on
the peg hehind the office door. Then
there is the stroke of four, and the
rush to the train. The whole nature
of the man seems to change as he leaves
his business self in the back parlor, and
whirls away shome. e.'-,Sdtarday Rerie,c.

one of the stand-coaches of the place.
on very hot day, We asked the driver
how it was that his horses perspired so
little, while the horses of private car
riages, going at a slower speed, were
covered with foam. He replied that he
watered his horses three times day
only, though he .sponged their mouths
frequently, while the private drivers
watered their horses whenever they
stopped. He said, and it seemed to us
very sensible, that the frequent water
ing of horses effected no good purpose,
while it made them very uncomfortable
and lethargic. Horses, no matter what
their work was, did not need watering
oftener than three times day. Our
own experience with horses all our life
is to the some effect.

A Sweet Christmas Letter.

my little sister the way to heaven.

Poke Root2

Wherever Poke Root grows, 1t has a local
reputation as n BloaS Purifier, and for the
cure of Rheumatism. With all this local
reputation, and the praise of distinguished
Physicians (Drs. Coe, Lee, King, Wilson NJ.
Hunt, Grifits, COPELAND and others,) who
have tested its medical powers; it has been
neglected by the profession at large, as much
through want Of proper appreciation of
its merits, as a knowledge of the proper way
to prepare it for medicinal use DR.. Oliver
Crook, Ia physician who devotes his entire
time TO the duties ofhis profession has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root during the last 25 years, and unhesi-
tatingly pronounces it TO have MORE MERIT
for diseases depending on depraved con-
dition of the blood,-than any and all other
articles named in the Materia Medica. Un-
der his instructions our Chemist has COM
bined the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root with the best Tonic Preparation of
Iron, and we offer this preparation to The
public under the above name.
