The Sweetness of Home.

He who has no home has not the
sweetest pleasure of life; he feels not
the thousand endearments that clus-
ter around that hallowed spot to fill
the void of his aching heart, and
while away Lis leisure nome nts in
the sweetest of life's joys. Is misfor-
tune your lot?-You will find a
friendly welcome from hearts beating
true to your own. The chosen part
ner Of your toll has smile Of appro-
baton when others have deserted,
a hand Of hope when all others refuse,
and heart to feel your sorrows as
if they were her own. Perhaps q
smiling cherub, with prattling glee
and Joyous laugh, will drive sorrow
from your careworn brow, and en-
close in 1T the wreathes Of domestic
bliss. No Matter how humble that
home may be, how destitute its stores,
or how poorly Its inmates are clad, ii
true hearts dwell there it is yet a
home. A cheerful, prudent wife,
obedient and aHectionate children,
will give their possessors mere real
j joy than bags Of gola and worldly
hours. The homc Of a temperate, in
dustrious, and honest man will be his
greatest joy. He comes to 1T weary
and worn, bat the music Of the mer-
ry laugh and happy voices of the
children cAeor. A PLAIN, brt a
healthy meal awaits him. Envy, am
bition, and strife have no place there,
and with a clear conscience be lays
his weary linars down to rest in the
bosom Of his family, and under the
protecting care Of the poor man $
Friend.

Love In II Cottage.

4 cottage, POLITICALLY speaking, is &
small, bat picturesque domicile, eln-
bowered in roses, and situated "ne"r
a wood adapted to the accommod e..
tion of three individuals. a Gent]em"',
his wife, and little boy with b" )
and arrow and wings, Poesy assum.
that bridegroom who mo reven"~~
hath may live in a state Of ecstat';
bliss, with dowerless bride in sucl. .
residence. Subsistence is a secondarr
consideration. Bread, cheese an
kisses are all sufficient; and, in IT,.
absence of the grosser items, the er
curean food last mentioned is, Of itse.,
excellent loye-i a cottage fare.
What cares Cupid for catos-catna
with c., we mean, for kates with d
K, are different matter. He laughs
! larlers, as well as blacksmiths, t,
scorn. He feeds on fancies, and, like
his bilious brother, Jealousy, grows By
what he feeds on. Such, at least, l.;
the sentimental notion Of that spooney
little divinity, as the guest of a col
tagc tenanted by cashless pair.
But sober Prose, bluff fellow that
delights in throwing cold water on the
beautiful and the tender, suggests
that moneyless couples; who hope to
retain love as a permanent lodger,
had better look to their windows, out
of one of which, if nothing for dinner
comes in at the door, he is apt to fly.
Any one who has seen a portrait OF
the boy, Cupid, and noted his chubbj-
ness of outline, must know, of course,
that he is no chameleon, to live on air.
From cottage where there is nothing
TO eat and more sentiment than IT.
tlustry and energy, he is pretty sure
to laake off, at the first opportunity,
in search of cosier quarters, some shan-
ty, perhaps, whore the vulgar gardea
grows cabbages and potatoes; and the
interior atmosphere has an appetizlns
lavor of beef steak and onions,
There can be no doubt that "bettrr
is dinner Of herbs where love is,
than p stalled OK and hatred there
with; but when it is all herbs and no
on the year round, disgust, if not ha-
tired, will be very to take loves place
at the board. Upon the whole, there
fore substantial and permanent "wed-
ded bliss" is scarcely to be hoped for
in the cottage where there is more
play for the imagination than the
teeth.

Rules for Handling "a Gun

Never handle q gun unless you
know hew, nor suffer any person
over whom you have control to handle
one, unless Aa knows how. You have
no right to enlanger your own life,
or the lives of others by handling
dangerous weapons in any other than
the safest manner.
Always handle gun as if it was
loaded; never let it point at yourself
or any one else; never point your gun
at any living thing unless you mean
to kill. Hardly a week passes that
tie papers do not report that some
idiot has snapped a gun at some one,
supposing it uuloadcd, and therefore
had the misfortune to kill human
being.
Always carry your gun at half-cock,
never with the hammer upon the cap.
This rule is invariably v:oloted. A
few experiments demonstrate its cor
rectness.
Half-cock your gun; if it will pull
of on this condition, take an Ak and
split the stock, bend the barrel and
sell it for old iron.
fit will not pull of, put cap on
the cone and let the striker down
unon it; now strike the back Of the
hammer with a stone or against the
door jalah, and if the striker fits the
cone decently we'll the cap will be
exploded. This is what happens
when man carrying a loaded gun
with the striker down upon the cap,
shoots himself, while riding in a
wagon, or tnmbling down, or climbing
over fence or stone wall.

striker back almost to half-cock and
let it fall, if the main spring is good
for ANYTHING the cap is exploded.
More accidents have happened this
way than any other. A gun is car
ried through underbrush, dragged out
Of boat, pulled on the ground by the
muzzle; your dogs jump upon you; the
hammer cTches in your clothes in
your olota2mth athg; I'm IN either of these, and
in hundred other ways, the hammer
is liable to be drawn back to almost
half-cock, and then let fall upon the
cap.-lf it is a good one an explosion
ought always to follow.
Now half-cock your gun, draw the
hammer back nearl y to fall cock and
let it fall. I. will stop at the half
cock notch, aud no blow Is given. So
always carry your gun at Lall-cock,
Ifycu cock it expecting to get shot
and are disappointed, hold tae mnzzle
straight up in the air, and let the cock
back at hall-cock,
If you know Of no other way Of as
certainlng whether gun is loaded or
not than by putting it in your mouth
and blowing, Or if you feel inclined to
draw the cap, retire to safe distance
and at once blow out your brains, be-
fore you kill or MAIN other people by
stupidity or carelessaess. ---lncEIcar1

Power Of Beauty.

A lovely womap necessarily eXer-
cises a great deal of power; but the
foolish girl that relies solely on he'
color and regularity Of features, and
neglects the cultivation Of her mind
is melancholy spectacle. Her sell
fish little heart, her barren little head
lord it already over cheap, superficial
beauties, and will soon leave nothing
behind but a dreary waste. Her lit
lie victories are temporary, her little
failures lasting. She can never be
a power. She can scarcely help
being y drag. Her companion must
be among the commonplace, not to
say the vulsar, for she has nothing in
com,non with the lofty and the grand.
She would gasp on the heights. She
can assinilate nothing beyond the ma
terial. There is danger that she will
soon be unable TO rise above the mean,

The sweetest woman ever fate

" HITTER
"Tis twilight Of the day,
And twilight cfthe year;
The leaves are turning scar,
The green is growing gray.
1t is little room,
So neatly dressed and still;
Which fostefed rcses fill
With subtlest of perfume.
A zephyr lurking by,
Betrays the curtained bed
Did ever mortal head
On either pillow lie?
That pantomimic fire
How clear its cozy glow;
1t gestures ever SO,
Behind the woven wire.
But hush! The lady comes,
As softly as the hours;
'Tis sweclcr than her tlow'rs--
The melody which she huns.
She deftly locks the blind,
And draws the night shade low
While with her gown of snow
The kitten toys behind.
Her hands are faultless fair,
Her movements, all of grace
And here q quccnly air
For such Il lowl y place.
Shc sits, and bows her head
What do the shadows say
Her volume Of the day
Lies open and unread
The beauty Of her face,
Where lives Il dreamy light,
No suffering shall blight,
Nor wearing years erase.
She sighs--now lifts above
The worship ofa tear:
And angels waiting near,
Record a wounded love.
