The controversy that has been going on be-
tween the Richmond Wing and Enquirer, for
some time past, in reference to the Conserva-
tive nomination for Congress in that district,
has been brought to close, the Wing stating
that while it believes the nomination of ez-
Gov Walker will lead to defeat, yet should he
be the choice of the party, it will humbly bow
in submission to the decree;and the Enquirer re-
joiccs "tbat spirit of Cancellation and harmony
is now likely to prevail amongst the friends Of
all the candidates, which we hope may coD-
tinue, and that the happiest results may follow.
The best man for the position should be chosen,
and then every Conservation in the District
should lend his exertioD to his triumphant cleo
ton. AS the Lynchburg News remarks: The
best way to get the best representative in Con-
gress is to seek out in each district the man
whose character and talents will enable him to
do the State the best service, and put him
through by powerful and united vote. )"

Fruit-trees About Home.

1t is hard to oyernurse tree unless it

dener about it, tie animal exhalations,
his breath, etc, are healthful food to it.
Its soil should be kept clean and free.

There is nothing more attractive than
this apparent consciousness Of the home
vineyard and orchard of the domestic
hospitality. Itgrows more thrifty, yields
more abundantly, as If grateful for
the familiarity and attention. Who has
failed to notice the superiority Of the
grapes, peaches, apples and oranges grown
in the house>yard, in favor and quantity,
over their congeners in the neglected
field! That the mere presence of man,
when not destructive, is promotive Of
vegetation is a fact so apparent in the
economy of animal and vegetable life, l
need not insist upon any theory of poetic
sensibility or sylvan gratitude of the
hamadryad. Yet there is something in

pendent as hale old apple or orange

Our Homes.

How much has been written Of Home,
yet the subject is never worn thread-bare.
Home and love! Old as the creation.
yet like the landscape before us, ever
new, ever beautiful the mere world fills
one with tender, loving thoughts
"Home's not merely four square walls.
Though with pictures hung and gilded."
1t is, or should be, place filled with
peace and rest, and love, a refuge from
the cares and coldness and deceit of the
world, heaven of rest, IN oasis in the
desert, where soul and body are strength>
ened and refreshed when weary and worn
with the struggle of life-a place where no
rigid rules are enforced, and each inmate
feels on entering that an atmosphere of
blessed freedom prevails; where no strict
boundary line exists between grown peo,
pie and children, but where young and
old mingle together in sweet and familiar
intsrcouss; where the blessed Day Of
Rest is looked forward To as o season of
physical and mental relaxation, and not
dreaded as an interval Of dull ana stupid
inertness, or made intolerable by an un>
due strictness and regard to the letter
rather than the spirit of religion.
We make our homes; and how many
of us make them what they should be?
How many of US do our whole duty as
husbands, wives. parents? How many of
us use Alright the unlimited authority we
have over our own children !--overlook>
ing at one time fault which at another
we condemn with hasty aud harsh re-
proof, and which we may perhaps recall
with unavailing regret through long, bit,
ter years, when the grass shall be waving
between the dear face of our darling and
our own.
The houses wo live in are not always
homes, no matter how crowded with ele-
CANT furniture, works Of art and luxury;
the simplest cottage, with its vine>drap.
ed window, its little parlor covered with
n straw mating, its round table and
chintz covered lounge, its shelf of books
and stand Of flowers, may contain more Of
the elements of true home than the
abode Of luxury
"a world of care without
A world Of strife shut ont
A world of love shut in."
This is home.

A Beautiful Picture.

who feels, by the laws of civilized nations,
be is the rightful and exclusive owner of
the land which he tills, is, by the consti>

other source. He feels, other things

hand Of God, and upheld by his pow

1t is the space on which the generation
moves in its rounds Of duties, and he feels
himself connected by visible link with
those who follow him, and to whom he is
to transmit a home. Perhaps his farm
came down to him from his fathers; but
be can trace their footsteps over the
scenes Of his daily labors. The roof
which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some inter-
estiug domestic tradition is connected with
every enclosure. The faYorits tree was
