MAKING Our Friends at Home.

Is it possible for our friend TO
"just make himself at home' in our
house, as we often invite and enjoin
him to do! Something depends, no
doubt. ON the friend. but more We
think, Oh the home. Ii the guest
be incapable of forgetting his own
home, aud given to contrasting mn
favorably everything that is unlike
it in others; or if he be one of the
unadaptive sort-a human "old cat"
who is never at ease when out Of his
accustomed haunis, or if he (mOre
frequently, perhaps. this is she) on.
" goes ont among friends to be
entertained in such case you
can't we'll make them at home, nor
avoid wishing them there!
On the other hand, If he desert
the pleasant family quarters and
plant your friend amid the unused
tincries of the stiff ''bcst roOD;' il
you keep the children on dress pa.
rade, and break MP all their wonted
good times; if you palpably make
decided difference IN the family fare,
as il your friend came to learn the
qualifications of your cook or to
Judge of your ability to keep a no.
tel;" If, in a word, your everyday
domestic lite is so broken up that
thaving a guest implies u complete
change in the internal arrangements
and economies of the household, he
) cannot, if sensible and sensitive
person, feel himself "st home,' for
he will perceive that you are not.
Think what being "at home"
/ means to yourself, and try and let
, your guests have something of that
feeling. You require a certain lib
I, erty and an atmosphere Of natural
ness for your contentment; q knowl-
, edge that You are not making any
F. undue work or worry, and sort OF
, slippers and dressing gown freedom
Q of department, for your comfort
b You don't want yOnr down-sltting
;. and up. rising too much planned out
for YOU. You expect TO be courte
I Gus and agreeable and punctual, and
V to practice the rest of the household
/; virtues as much as in You lies, but
e YOU don't want to talk at mark al
Il the time, nor to have everything
|. give way to your entertainment
e There isn't better rule Of polite
Is ness and hospitality in the worl'
Is than the rule called the "goldcn.
IL The trouble is that we keep it to-
D. much for ethical or "great moral
questions, instead of turning it Z
n use in the everyday affairs of life
V. We can best enable our friends +
lc make themselves at home by keeT
ing it homelike for them.

The Second Place.

Ex Gov. Hendricks has reiterated
10 the indianapolis Journal his
declaration that it is his positive
and irrevocable" intention to de-
cline second place upon another
presidential ticket; that he is not
an aspirant for the place of Vice
President and would not accept Q
commission To that Office if offered
to him today; that it is, In bis
opinion, a less honorable and less
responsible position than that OF
Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and lees remuser:tive
than his law practice in lndians'
and that he does not desire to en-
ter the White House from the bscs

Grow Beautiful.

Human being may Ontgrow dis
ease and become healthy by proper
attention to the laws of their ply
steal constitution. By moderate
daily exercise and suitable food,
human beings may become strong
in limb aud muscle. But is there
any process 10y which human beings
NAV grow beautiful Live as we
NAV, age tlims the lustre OF the eye,
and pales the rose on beauty's
cheek, while crow feet and burrows,
and wrinkles, and lost teeth, and
gray hairs, aud bald heads, and
lettering limbs, and linping feet,
most sadly mar the human form
divine. But while tins is true, dim
as the eye is, aud pallid and sunken
as may he the face of beauty, and
frail and feeble that once strong,
erect and symmetrical form, the
immortal soul, just Hedging it's
wings for it's home in heaven, may
look on through those faded win
dows as beautiful as dew drop OF
summers morning, as melting as
the tears that gisten in affection's
cye-by growing kindly, by cult
waiting sympathy with all human
kind, by cherishing forbearance to
ward the foliies aud foibles OF ouI
race, and feeding day by day on
that love of God, and man which
lifts ns from the brute and makes
MS akin to angels.

Daruing little stockings
For restless little feet,
Washing little faces
To keep them clean and sw eet,
Hearing Bible lessons,
Teaching catechism,
Praying Tor salvation
From hrrrsy and schism-
Woman's work.
Sewing on the buttons,
Overseeing ratlons,
soothing with kind word
Others lamentations;
ending clumsy Budgets,
Coaxlng sullen cooks,
Entertaining company,
Reading recent books
Woman's work.
Buryiug ont of sight
Her own uuheallug smarts,
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded
Aud healing of the sick,
Bravely marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick
Woman's work!

arrived safely at the Navy Yard
pumping the water out of out ship
al the way up the river. The Virgin
ia is now in the Dry Dock under
going repairs; great deal of her
iron was knocked of, aud some ot
her timbers broken; We also lost the
iron plough oil the bow, that was
the reason we could not sink the
enemy's floating battery. However,
we will soon have her ready to 20
again. There are about one hun.
bred men working on her every
day and part of the night. We
did the Yankees more damage than
any battle that has been fought
during the war, destroying millions
of their property and killing about
fifteen hundred of their men.
In my last letter to Albin told
him We would soon have n fight,
but had no idea that it would be
quite so desperate. AS told yon
in the beginning it was an awful
scene.
We have a large number of
wounded Yankees here IL the Hos
pital. and they SAY they wish we
could have killed all their men at
the land batteries at Ncwpor, News,
for firm. on flag of truce, but
they lett in double quick when We
commenced Smelling them, and WI
conld not do il.
