HOME CIRCLE.
HOME TALENT ILLUSTRATED

Who says that poetry is not a Divine inspira-
ton? AS an evidence that it is we quote below
from the fly leaves of music book found in one
of our city church choirs. We suppress the
name of the unfortunate poor but respectable"
young man and give him the name of Grimes.
This book belongs to a poor member OF -
Church congregation, and if any one steals it, he
will please be charitable enough to return it at
once to GRIMES.
1 certify the above to be a true and accurate
condition OF the said Grines U. KERR.
DEAR GRIMES: If you should be so unfortu-
nate as to have this ere book stolen from you
please call at No. -, Gay street, and you will
be furnished one at a figure to suit "a poor
mans purse" A. FRIEND ESQ.
Dear Grimes, bewarei
The above is snare,
Don't go or you'll be cheated there
U. KERR.
What startling rhymes U write L. Kerr,
Better than Byrons, yes they are,
Publish q book do it with care
And take my word you'll make folks stare.
@.
Pity the state of this poor young man,
Whose trembling hand has penned the line
bCTOSS,
And should you feel like stealing this here book
You'll be his death, he cannot stand the loss.
His only all is in a house and lot,
Ut stand not on our noble Mayors street,,
A lovely wife, Lord knows how she was got,
A pair of boots which hardly hide his foot
And this is all, poor lonely man is he,
Does not his case call forth pItying tear?
And should you see this book, oh let it be,
Just where you find it, that is here.
U, KERR.
U Kerr, U Kuss,
U make fuss,
But U kant be poet
U're head is full
Of lamb-like wool,
But U're voice sounds like the goet

In the music rank and file.

Newspapers are in theory conservators
of the public morals. They are establish
ed and sustained us useful agencies for the
advancement of the public good. So long
as they keep within their legiti-
mate spheres, they are entitled to
consideration and respect. But when
of personal malice, as the Press and
Herald has done under Mr.. Fleming's ed
itorial management, they prostitute their
columns to the defamation of an individ-
Ual by a persistent course of falsehood,
simply because he has the courage to do
his duty tohimself and to his country by
exposing fraud and corruption, they de-
serve the severest apprehension at the
hands of an enlightened and honest public.
Physically wrecked and morally de-
graded, as Fleming is, it is a point
of some difficulty to determine what

allied, through the use of money and poll
tical combination, have in a measure
closed the public press of the State against
me. Under the same influences, the Leg
islature and Executive powers of the State
have been eXerted in the passage of spe-
cial statute to hinder and delay suits
which / am prosecuting, on the trial of
Whlcn the injustice which the vile and
prostituted press Of the State have done
me, and the motives which impelled
them to do it, will be fully exposed.
If | were to take vengeance in my own
hands, would violate the law and COM
NIT an indiscretion into which these con-

woke me and it would be said, and is be-
ing said, that, in castigating Fleming, the
agent principally used by them, had as
sailed an invalid physically unable TO de-
fend himself Hence, upon the whole, the
course which have heretofore pursued is,
l think, the better one. In the confidence

course Of tdV, / can have the statute, en-

unconstitution and void. This result will

1t is the privilege and one Of the chief
duties Of the minister o Christ to leaven
the community with great general princi-
pies Of christian truth.
The theme for this evening. is the mis-
sion of the United States.
God has given US our exalted position
as a nation. | believe he has signalized
this nation for a sublime mission. His
providence over us has been manifest
through all our history.
The place, this peerless continent, nc
great nation ever existed but ia the North
Temperate Zone. y Republic was an
it0possibility in the midst Of the monar
chies of the old world The isolated po-
sition of the United States, with oceans
separating it from tyranny, oppression
and blightcd manhood, was condition of
success for a noJ7er civilization.
The period aChen it was colonized was
most opportune. If before then, they
would have transplanted and perpetuated
the hoary superstitions and inhumanities
of the cid world. But 1t was the dawn
Of new era. The nations birth was
coeval with new inventions, discoveries
and refJrmations that are reyoIutionizine
the world.
Then the persons. the stock selected
to las the foundations for the magnificent
nation of the future. If Italians, French
or Spaniards, we would read its history
in their colonies and in Mexico and South
America to-day.
They were advanced in ideas Of civil
and religious liberty, hence driven from
England to II Hand. They were tried
spirits from the pit-seem to have fought
against tl,ca The purpose for which
they exiled themselves from so much
that was near and dear, was never sur
passed by men and women in the annals
of time. This purpose through God
sustained them in braYiDg ocean, winter,

From the day that the famous horse
Dexter became the property of Mr..
Bonner, the name CT the renowned trot-
ter has been used to great extent in adj
vertising the Ledger. But Goldsmith
Maid has beaten Dexter's time and
new literary enterprise has just been
started In Chicago, under auspices which
indicate a determination on the part Of
projectors and publishers to eclipse Bon
ner in the feld Of journalism.
Waters, Eberts s. Co., 7S3 State Str,
Chicago, are issuing Oar FJresiste
Es-Scssa,' very handsome, illustra-
ted, eight page, literary and freside
weekly. Instead Of expanding hundred
thousand dollars in horse-hesh, they will
distribute that amount among their sub
scribers for 1872, in the way of premiums.
Their capital premium is $4,000 IN
United States Currency. 1t is manifest
that the enterprising publishers intend
to secure an immense circulation for their
paper and it is no less probable that
when such inducements in the way 81
premiums-in connection with a readable
and frst-class journal-are offered, the
enterprise will prove a grand success.
The Premium list is large and varied.

A BEAUTIFUL WosiAN.-The perceD-
tive faculty Of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ is
in men. Women know that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the Steiner
sex. \ man may talk of the. latter to his
lady love, but the keenness of the woman
knows that he is thinking of the former.
Women are fond Of admiration hence
one Of their longings is to be beautiful.
The grand secret O. female beauty is
health, the power to eat, digest and as
simulate proper quantity Of wholesome
food. Take Vinegar Bitters. 1t will
clense the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce a
state of mental and physical electricity,
which gives symmetry OF form, bright
eyes, white skin, glossy hair and gcnu-
inc type Of female loneliness, which no
cosmetic can produce. 434t
