A CHEERFUL HoME-A single word may
disquiet an entire family for whole day.
One surly glance casts gloom over the house
hold, while smile, like gleam Of sunshine,
may light up the darkest and weariest hours.
Like unexpected flowers which spring up
along our path, full Of freshness. fragrance
and beauty, so the kind words and gentle acts
and sweet dispositions make glad the home
where peace and blessings dwell. No matter
how humble the abode, fit be thus garnished
with grace and sweetness, with kindness and
smiles, the heart will turn lovingly toward it
from all the tumults of the world, and home,
if it be ever 80 homely, will be the dearest
SPOT beneath the circuit Of the sun.
And the influences of home perpetuate
themselves. The gentle grace Of the mother
lives in her daughters long after her head is
pillowed in the dust Of earth and fatherly
kindness finds its echo in the nobility and
courtesy of sons who come to wear his mantle.
and fill his place; while, on the other hand,
from an unhappy, misgoverned and disordered
home 90 forth persons who shall make other
homes miserable, and perpetuate the sournes
and sadness, the contentious and strites and
ratings which have made their own early
lives so wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful no ,e the children
gather "as clouds and as doves to their win
8 lows - while from the home which is the
abode of discomfort and strife and trouble,
they fly forth as vultures to rend their prey.
The class of men that disturb and disorder
and distress the world are not those born and
nurtured amid the hallowed influences Of
Christian homes, but rather those whose early
life has been scene of trouble and vexation,
who have started wrong in the pilgrimage,
and whose course is one of disaster to them
selves and trouble to those around them.

A STRONG NATION.

The census of 1860 gave the total
property values Of the United States
at SIC, OOO, 900, 900. The census Of 1870
makes a return of nearly $50, 600. 000,-
900. Thus the wealth Of the nation
had about doubled itself In q decade
during which the country vas con
vulsed by a great civil war, involving
an expenditure, to both sides, of not
less than So. ZOO, 700. 900, and y vast
destruction Of life and property. Seven
years after this terrible struggle, the
total of national, state. county and
municipal debts is only $3,271, s74, 76s.
and the country sustains q total tax Of
$50, 520,435. These figures give an i'm
presSive idea Of the financial strength
and wonderfully rapid development Of
the United States, in view Of which the
national debt seems II light affair. Tho
showing Is the more remarkable when
we reflect that this debt has been re-
duced ut n rate that would extinguish
It In twenty years, while permitting
yearly reduction Of taxation. All the
plumbers Of all the politicians cannot
repress energies so boundless, though
they may prevent their fullest and
healthlest action. The country and the

resources. arc better than the men who

REFINED CRUELTY.

FROM the New York Tribune, April27.
All the circumstances attending the
recent execution Of Joe Logston, In
Tennessee, were disgusting enough.
Twice the rope broke, and the man
came to the ground wrlthing In agony
and saturated with the blood which
poured from his mouth, nose. and ears.
What took place before the turning oil
was hardly better. The clergymen-
there were three Of them in attend

from the 9Th verse of tho 9th chapter
Of Genesis. Now, think Of a man

Yes, for sixty minutes did Mr.. Wright
hold forth with this poor wretch trem-

his fate, but If that was the purpose Of
Mr.. Wright's long windedness, We have
not q word to say against 1t.

4 copfeRiAslr Philosophy.
From the San Frauei.co PigaFo.l

from the san trauct-oo rXAtU.l
Spiritualism |, u decidedly pleasant
philosophy. II one could only believe
In il ali would be we'll. There would
be no moaning cit u sad 70 die" no
sdark river" no fear Of the bottomless
Dit. The Examiner yesterday gave an
account OF the funeral ceremonies Of
Henry Chase, the son Of Mrs. Chase,
spiritualistic medium and wound up
with the following interesting partio-
ulars which explain the doctrine Of
spiritualists with regard to the change
which other sects call death:
The mother OF the deceased. Mrs.
Chase. states that since the death Of
her son she had had several interviews
with him. While preparing tho corpse
for burial. he appeared and made the
remark that "he did not think he
would make such an ugly looking
corpse" aud several other jocular re-
marks ; also that during the process Of
dressing him after death he was pres
ent In the room and cut up antics,
such as jumping around and standing
on his hands. When lie was alive he
was always In good spirits and jovial
In his disposition.
Now. this Il rather jolly. II this be
true, there Is some sense In giving q
man a pslendid funeral and making his
corpse MS good looking as possible.
The unpleas INT part Of the doctrine
consists In the idea embodied In an ar
ticle headed HELL" which We wrote
some time ago, and which we now see
going the rounds OF the press credited
to the Owyhee A~ralanche, that paper
having "nipped" 1t and obliterated
our ear-marks. Having tho positive
assertion Of Mira. Chase that her son
was actually present In tho room while
his body was being laid out, II was
amused at the fuss made over him, 1t
NAV be as we'll to republish what we
said before:
There Is something plausible after
all In the doctrine Of the s~pirituallsts
that tho real torment Of tho future
state consists not In II fire and brim-
stone hell, but In still hanging round
In spirit form the scenes which n has
left, and seeing how things 20 on after
ones death. It must be hell for the
spirit of n dead mining Spectator to
see stocks 60 up, without the power OF
euchreing Somebody out Of q thousand.
Isn't it hell for a miser to sec his saw
lngs squaudered for a husband to see
his wife, who swore she loved him so
fondly, fllrt at his funeral with young
Smith whom he kicked out Of his
house ; for a smart, business-like spirit
to see his late partner miss chance
after chance Of making a pile; for a
mining spirit to see follows running q
drift tile wrong way. Well, we shall
all know how It Is ourselves III day.

THE DEVILS FIDDLE.

This fearful instrument has never
been adopted by the Juveniles Of Gold
Hill or Virginia, and 1t Is to DO hoped
1t never will, If what Is said Of 1t BY
our exchanges is true. The Stockton
Republican thus describes the instru-
ment:
The noisy instrument called "tle
devils fiddle" has arrived, and In 1t
we recognize an old acquaintance un-
der Il new name. When we were a
boy-and at the mention Of the word
our mind flies back something less than
three quarters Of q century-this same
devils fiddle WAS popular among the
youths OF our town, and was then
known as the "dumb BULL" though
how it came by this name We never
could make out, as 1t was anything but
dumb In the hands Of q skillful manip-
ulator. The method Of getting them
ND was something In this way: A
large tin or zinc cylinder was pro-
cured over one end was drawn a
dressed cat or grounding skin, after
the manner Of q drum-hsad. Alter
this had dried and become perfectly
tight, an awl-hole was made In the
centre, through which was drawn .
shoemaker's waxed thread with q knot
on the end to prevent 1t from slipping
through. 10 operate on the instru-
ment, you resin the thumb and fore
finger Of your glove, and. inserting
your arm ut the end Of the cylinder,
gently draw the waxsd thread through
between the resined thumb and finger.
The net produces a sound the like OF
which has never been heard since the
toot from the scriptural rams horn.
But the dumb bull has degenerated to
an oyster can aud a bic OF sewing
thread. Tho DEVILS whistle Il tho
s~queaking son Of = roaring sire. and
the sooner no Is banisled from the city
the better.

mains to be inferred in a new one.
