At+ractive Homes.

A home that is fitted up with taste
will be the resort of a better class of
people. and more genuine enjoyment
VIII be shown in visiting it, than one
which has nothing but the costliness of
it's contents to recommend it. However
much astonishment and vague admira-
the one may excite at first, it viii final
ly become an eye-sore rather than at
traction, while the other viii reveal a
new old beautiful feature at every
place, and will never lose its pleasing
power. A part from this, however, is
the all-important, hard, practical fact
that there is an actual economy in good
taste. Thousands of persons annually
buy gaudy and vulgar carpets that there
are not and cannot be objects of interest
when for much less money they might
in humber material, but of equally
substantially quality, purchase some
thing much better suited to the charac-
ter of their rooms and much more in
harmony with the surroundings. If n
room is arranged as q work of art, a
carpet is only an item in the general ei-
feet. and it is matter of no eonse-
auence that it should excite remark
on its own account. What we want
when stranger enters our parlor is
that he shall be impressed with a GER
tain beauty, by certain completeness,
| by a certain richness of effect, by GER
tian home feeling, as if the place were
the dwelling of refined people, who
think enough of their home to strive to
make it beautiful. Tt is not necessary
that he should remark whether ouI
CARPET is Brussels or ingram, whether
whether or wall paper cost 10 cents or s.
a piece, whether our furniture is of the
most costly wood, elaborate carved and
covered with the most expensive mate
rials. whether our curtains are of the
finest lace or richest damask, but ratheI
that our combinations of colors are har
monious. that our furniture is solid anC

pives some hint as to the character o
its owner, and which seems 10 extend 1

Longevity of Animals.

Among other spoils which Alexander
the Great took from Porus, an Indian
king. was a monster elephant. Those
animals were then, as now, held IN the
HIGHEST esteem in that country. That
particular elephant fought 50 brayely
for his master, that the admiration Of
the eonoueror was excited in his favor
He ordered him TO be set free, and al
lowed to range at pleasure-frst nam
ing him Ajax, and placing a medal Sc
curelv to his neck bearing this inserip-
ton: &" Alexapder, son of Jupiter,
dedicated Ajax TO the sun" Three
hundred and ffty-four years after, the
! old fellow was rediscov red, snd proba.
blv in good condition, as nothing was
recorded 10 the contrary. Therefore, Z
is probable that elephants may live sev.
eral hundred centuries before the ma
chinery Of life gives out. Cayier, the
great French naturalist, saw 10 reason
whv whales should not reach q thou
sand years. An eagle died at VIenni
