PEACE AT HoME.-It is just as possible
to keep calm house rs clean house, an
orderly house as furnished house, if the
heads set themselves to do so. Where is
the difficulty Of consulting each others
weakness, as we'll as each others wants?
1t is by leaving the peace Mt home to
chance, instead Of pursuing it by sys-
tenn, that so many homes are unhappy. 1t
deserves notice, also, that any one can be
courteous and patient in neighbours
house. If anything goes wrong, or is out
of time, or is disagreeable there, it is made
the best Of not the worst; every effort is
made to excuse it, and to show that it is
not felt; OF if felt it is attributed to acct
dent, but not to design; and this is not
only easy but natural in the house of a
friend; we will not, therefore, believe
that what is SO natural in the house of an
other is impossible at home, but maintain
without fear, that ill the courtesies of So
cia life may be upheld in domestic socie-
ties. A husband as willing to be pleased
at home, and as anxious to please rs in II
neighbor's house, and a wife US intent on
making things rs comfortable every day to
her family as on set days to her guests,
could not fail to make their homes happy,
The sweetest most clinging affection is
often shaken by the slightest breath Of un-
kindness, as the delicate rings and ten
drills Of the vine are agtated by the faint
est air that blows in summer. An unkind
word from one beloved often draws blood
from many heart that would defy the bat
tle-ax of hatred or the keenest edge OF
vindictive satire. Now, the shade the
gloom of the face familiar and dear,
awakens pain. These, in the elegant
words of the preacher, Read are the little
thorns which, though men of rougher
form may make their way through them
without suffering much, extremely incom.
mode persons of a more refined turn in
their Journey through life and make lheil
travelling irksome and unpleasant. How
careful we ought TO be not to darken IN,
mutilate the sweet images of hope and JOY
and peace that might gid the curtains o
our companions life, by suffering thes,
spots to mingle with them-these shadow
of upas leaves to be collected in thu
stream. OF all cruel words or deeds
those that would darkon hope ARE the mos
cruel.
