..MAKE HOME HAPPY"

More than building snowy mansions,
More than dress and fine array;
More than domes and lofty steeples,
More than station, power, and sway;
Make ourhome both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always talr,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each pleasure there.
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be n smiling spot
Where, in sweet contentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot.
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contented,
seldom wishing far to roam,
Or if roaming, still will ever
Cherish happy thoughts of home,
Such home make men the better,
Sure and lasting the control,
Home with pure and bright surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul.

3. OAK RIDGE, La, July /, 1880.
Editor Clarion:
Dear Sir.-On Saturday last /
attended school celebration at
this place, given by Miniard Tenn
pie, resident of your town, who
has charge of the colored school of
this ward. He gave this celebra-
ton to show to the people how
rapidly his pupils have advanced.
/ think he is the best teacher that
we have ever had to teach this class
of people. Unlike most Of his kind,
he endeavors to learn them to be
respectful to the white population.
1t is really amusing to meet about
fifty of them, when they are re-
turning home, to see them all pull
off their hats and bow. He has
about 100 scholars, consequently is
unable to manage them by himself,
and has employed an assistant. Al
ter duties of the day were perform
ed. the; audience was addressed by
the teacher and Dorsey, the
colored speaker who canvassed this
district with Gen. King in 1873,
and I am sure is remembered by
