HOME.

The following, which we clip
from an exchange, contains 'more
truth than poetry" and should be
we'll studied by everybody:
Let all grnmblIng and fault-fnd-
ing be banished from the home, and
in their stead bring kind words,
cheerful conversation, smiling cOun-
tenances and sociabIlity, and then
all will realize the truth Of John
Howard Payne's word: "Be it ever
so humble, there is no place like
home" Then, and not till then,
will all feel as did the earl Of Or
rerv "Whenever we step outside
Of domestic life in search Of felicity,
we come back again disappointed,
tired, chagrined. One day passed
under our own roof with our own
friends and family, is worth a thou
sand in another place" Webster
defines housekeeping" az the man
agement of home affairs, and home
as a dwelling place. And in the
management Of home affairs, it will
prove very happy dwelling if, in
addition to what has been named,
integrity, tidiness and industry are
found there abiding guests. Or, as
DR.. Hamilton expresses it, 'Gnteg-
rity must be the architect, and tidi-
ness the upbolster. 1t must be
warmed up by affection and lighted
with cheerfulnoss. Industry must be
the ventiIator, renovating in fresh
salubrity day by day. While over
all, as a protecting canopy and
glory, nothing will suffice except
the blessing Of God"

INDEX TO CHARACTER.

Beware, young ladies, if you
have large thumbs, how you show
them, else you may live to be "a
hateful old maid" Read the follow
ing, which some "smart chap" has
discovered in this enlightened age:
Other people besides fortune tel
lers can read history from the te-
male hand. Women with square
hands and small thumbs are said to
make good and gentle housewives.
These sort Of women will make any
man happy who is fortunate enough
to win them. They are not all ro-
mantle, bat they are what IS better
thoroughly domesticated. Women
with very large thumbs have n
temper" Of their own and gener-
ally a long tongue. There is hint
in this to the lover. Let him, the
first time he seizes hold Of his lady
loves hand, examine, under some
pretext or another, her thumb, ;
and, if it be large, let him make up
his mind that as soon as he becomes
q married man he will have tc be-
come a good boy, or else there will
be the very deuce to pay. Again, If
a young man finds that his lady-love
has a large palm, with cone-shaped
fingers end a small thumb, let him
thank bis stars-fer, in that case, she
is susceptible of tenderness, readily
Aattered, easily talked out Of any
thing, and can be readily managed.
But if she is q woman with square
hand, well-proportloned, and only a
tolerably developed thumb, why
then she is either one Of two dis
tinct classes Of women-she is
either q practical female who will
not stand nonsense,o or she is o design
ing female; she is woman who
cannot be duped by him, In either
case, he must run risk, you see,
as no rule Is infallible.

DEPTH OF SOWING WHEAT.

Farmers who are wide awake and
given TO investigation do not SOW
30 much wheat to the acre as they
formerly did, and they do not SOW 1t
so deep. The great heavy harrow8
OF 10 or 30 years ago are not now
employed by them IN covering seed,
and the drill, which can be depend
ed on better, is becoming universally
popular. In broadcast sowing, al
ter the ground is thoroughly pre-
pared, the Thomas soothing harrow
covers the seed deep enough. A
Wisconsin writer gives the result Of
an experiment in planting at differ
ent depths-on the surface, one
fourth inch, one-haIf inch, three
fourth inches, and so to several
inches. That on the surface lay two
weeks before sprouting; that one
fourth to three-fourth inches deep
came up in four or five days and
80 on, getting later as the depth in
creased. The last to come up was
planted three-and-a-half inches
deep, and was fourteen days in
reaching the surface. At the end
Of six weeks, that planted one
fourth to one,half inch deep stood
far ahead Of the rest.

[C0NGTTNICATe4 |

A great deal has been said IN de-
rocatiou of our last legislature, both
in private and through the public
prints, and much Odium has been at
tached to it that is very unjust.
While it is not my purpose to
shoulder that body. which is amply
able to take care Of itself, a talr
deal requires to give the ID his
due; and the legislature is at least
entitled to ike measure. The prln-
cipa denunclatiOn Of the last ses-
sion, as may, with propriety, be
said of every other, emanates from
those whose pockets are affected
men who are in office and cannot
see that their salaries or perqulsites
should be- curtailed, even though the
public good may require it, and they
wriths in indignation, because the
IacteaI flow is disturbed in the pub
lie teat. They are VooiferOus in
their denunciations but it seldom
occurs to one eff them to resign be-
cause of the inadequacy OF compen-
satiOn. When the election comes
around, they are still numbered
amongst the cormorants for public
support. They bear no shame for
their murmurs, but, with affected
grace, they stultify their complaints
and endorse our last Legislature, in
their suppliant petitions for re-
election to the same Office. Another
class are those who always know
everything to be wrong, but if sub
iected to critical observation, will
seldom be known to do anything
right. They are constitutional grum-
blers, with probably COW and calf,
TO be affected by legislation wise
acres, who know who Gains mother
in-law was when it is going to rain;
can name the next president, and,
Of course, "kneW that the COW
would eat up the grindstone."
If commentators on the last legis-
Iature will but consider that to
discover defects for public portrayal
implies a capacity superior to those
whose services are actually called
in requisition, 1t may not prove as
satisfactory, upon selfexamination,
as a momentary prompting might
suggest, and a general, sweeping or
unqualified denunciation of the ac-
ton of a legislature more frequently
betrays an ignorance that passes
better in silence, than the disclosure
of legislative talent.
1t is not to be expected that every
session of our state Legislature can
take such extraordinary action as
will cOnvulse the country and dIstin-
guish it's members, nor are such re-
suits in any measure to be desired.
The truth is, that our last Legislature
was, upon the whole, very credit
able assembly; and although, as is
usually the case, it embraced some
lame legislative material, they were,
as q body, a prtrIotic assembly,
moved by the highest actuations for
the public veal; and amongst its
members are men Of learning, who
would do honor to the halls Of our
national legislature, and as far su-
perior to the ordinary traducer as
the distinctive Darwinism difference
between man and his original type,
