HOME.

After all, when one comes to think of it,
course, innumerable places which 60 by the
uame of homes, called SO for the want of a
better designation, because most every body
calls the place where he eats and sleeps
"home," but when you come down to the
real sober fact, homes are comparatively
scarce. A home is refuge place from the
storms, the fret and worry of life. 1t is the
place where husband comes to a sanctuary,
where smiles and loving words ans wer his
smiles and loving greetings. 1t is place
where the wife reigns in her benignity and
grace; not, it may be, the grace Of outward
beauty, or cultivation, but of the true wo-
manhood, where she receives honor and
love, even as she gives them both. 1t is
place where children are happier than any
where else in the world, because there are
the cheeriest words, the brightest looks, and
the kindest acts. Such are not the majority
of homes as we find them. How does it
happen that when you see real home, a
light, pleasant spot where everyone seems
to be happy; where, if the husband and
wife have misunderstanding, no one ever
knows it, where the children seem to be
hopeful Of one another; where laughter and
smiles are perpetual guests; why does it
strike one as peculiar aud noticeable? Sim
ply because there are so few Of them.
will not.ask you to think of your own home.
Let us indulge in the luxury of talking
about our neighbors. There is Mr.. Smiths
house. What are your ideas about his
home? You see him 60 in at nightfall,
looking used up by the wear of the day,
and if you could step in with Mr.. Smith.
and be there an invisible presence, don't
believe you would be wholly charmed with
the looks of things. Possibly the first
words of Mr.. Smith are directed indefinitely.
"What's all this noise abont? don't see
why these children are kicking up such a
row." The said children take the hint, and
move out of the way, not thinking-for
which they are pardonable-to say "Good
evening" to their father. He soon "set-
ties" them.
The family sits down to the evening meal.
Mr.. Smith feels tired, and don't care to talk.
The children have something to say, but
they learned long ago that "father does not
care to be bothered with their tales Of school,
nor to be asked questions about kites and
balls. He has forgotten all be ever knew
about them, or indeed, that he ever had
them" They, sensibly enough, keep still.
On the whole, they have, if not bad, a
very stupid time Of it. The family is a
company Of animals, who feed, and leave
when they have enough. They do not
know precisely what to do with themselves;
so they NOPE about, and are glad to go to
bed, though they don't want TO 60, except
to escape the dullness. Now, this is not a
beautiful picture, but is it very uncommon
onep An honest confession would tell Of
more homes of that sort than of better ones

EASTERN OPINION OF CALIFORNIA,

The New York World of recent date has
the following; Westward the star of the
empire continues TO take its way" Califor-
mia. whose history dates back only about
twenty-five years, promises soon to take her
place as one of the greatest States in the
Union. Her population in 1850 was only
92 QUO, but since that time it has increased
more than 700 per cent. or at the rate oi
about 80 per cent, each year. She posses
ses every element Of growth and prosperity
Besides her precious mines, her excellent
climate makes her one of the finest agricul-
tural regions in the world. Last year she ex-
ported $21 ZOO, 900 worth of wheat to Great
Britain. She can raise enough wheat for a
whole nation, and a scheme is said TO be on
foot for exten ling her trade in dried fruits to
Europe. She expects TO make from ten to
twelve millions gallons of wine this season.
the present. number Of grape vines in the
State being 10000, 900. She also adds
this year an immense crop of hops to her
sum Of wealth. This product is chiefly for
expectation; but it is not unlikely that with
in few years the manufacture of those hops
into ale and porter will be carried on within
the State. This would enchance the value
Of the hop crop by so much, besides the in
crease in population resulting from this in
dustry. The quicksilver mines and the coal
mines are also beginning to pay great profits
to their owners. In the midst of all this
natural wealth the people are beginning to
live better and the demand for the finer lux
uries is increasing. Fine residences and
costly public buildings are spriuging up
everywhere, and one of the latest underta-
kings is the building Of an entire new subur-
ban town in San Mateo county, to cover
IL 900 acres, and not single lot Of which
is to be sold until the town Is all built.

AT THE OLD GATE.

And so we have met here again, love;
Here is my hand once more
And with it the heart, now stricken
So proud in the days OF yore.
knew not how much loved you,
When that word was spoken by me
That sundered our lives that night, dear,
And SEM you over the sea.
Here have sat all alone, love.
In the first fresh hours OF Spring,
When the blackbird filled the twilight
With the song that it used to sing
In the golden fall of that autumn
That buried my hearts dAGht;
But never song could sing, love,
In the calm of the falling night.
1 have waited long at the gate, love,
For CLEAN of the days of old,
When the sunset of Summer came down, love,
On their wings of amber and gold,
And fingered amongst the tassels
Ofthat bright laburnum tree;
There was glory above, mid the branches
But never gleam for me.
You thought that my heart was cold, love-
/ knew that it seemed so them
But ms.idens of seventeen years. dear,
Are not to be ju6 ged with men.
There's beauty of trust we must soar to,
There's love to which we must grow,
And these years have unsaid that word, dear;
That spoke to you long ago.
There's lingering kiss on my lips, love-
1t has lain since yours touched mine;
There's love in my life that is yearning
To cling to your heart as its shrine;
All! now you have taken that kiss love;
And with it crushed out the past;
have waited long, long at the old gate
have waited, but found you at last.

Counting AND DrvoRcE. E.-.An old story
contains a lesson which many married coup.
les have not vet learned. When Jonathan
Trumbull was Governor of Connecticut, a
gentlemen called at lis house one day re-
questing a private interview: He said:
"My wife end do not live happily togeth;
er, and an thinking of getting divorce.
What do you advise me to do?"
The Governor sat few mouients III
thought; then, turning to his visitor, said
"How did you treat Mrs. w.. wheu You
were courting her? aod how did you feel to-
ward her at the time Of your marriage7' (
Squire w. replied, II treated hst ss
kindly as could, for loved her dearly at
that time.
"Well sir, said the Governor, ego home
and court her now just as you did theiI,
and love her as when you married her. DO
this in the fear Of God for one year. and
then tell me the result" The Governor
then said. "Let us pray"
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When year passed away. Squire w. called
again to see the Governor, and said. II
have called to thank you for hegood advice
you gave me, and to say that my wife and !
are as happy as when we. were first married.
| can not be grateful enough for your good
counsel" II am glad to hear it, Mr.. w."
replied the Governor, land hope you will
continue to court your wife as long as you
live."

WHAT Is THE REASON. There have been
grave and perilous troubles in North Carroll
ma. South Carolina, Florida, Mississ ippi,
Arkansas and Louisiana, all States under
the rule of the Radical party.
On the other hand, Texas and Georgia are
perfectly quiet and orderly. There is no
trouble and no danger of trouble in either Of
them. Relatively, too, they are prosperous
and free from debt. These two States are
under the rule Of the Democratic or Copser-
vative party.
Can any one tell US the reason for this
great contrast? asks the New York Sun.
Why is it that there is such an extraordinary
difference between these Radical and these
Democratic States?-Eraminer
