THE SWEETNESS OF HoME.--He who
has no home has not the sweetest
pleasures of life; he feels not the
thousand ondearments that cluster
around that ballowed spot to fill the
void Of his aching heart, and while
away his leisure moments in the sweet
est of life's joy. Is misfortune your
lot, you will find friendly welcome
from hearts beating true to your own.
The chosen partner to your toll has q
smile of appreciation when others have
deserted, hand of hope when all 9th.
ers refuse, and heart TO feel your sor-
rows as her own. Perhaps smiling
cherub with prattling glee and joyous
laugh, will drive all sorrow from your
carcworn brow, and enclose il in the
wreaths of domestic bliss.
No matter how humble that home
may be, how destitute its stores, or
how poorly its inmates are clad if
true hearts dwell there, il is vet a
homc--a cheerful, prudent wife, obe-
dient and affectionate children, will
give possessors more real joy than
bags of gold and windy honors.
The home of a temperate, industri.
Gus and honest man will be his great
est joy. He comes to it weary and
worn, but the music of the merry
laugh and the happy voices of child
hood cheer him. A plain but health
ful meal awaits him. Envy, ambition
and strife have no place there, and
with a clear conscience he lays his
weary limbs down TO rest IN the bosom
Of his family, and under the protecting
care of the poor mans friend and
helper.
