A span Of ponies attached to an emi-

three children and various household
goods, halted on Grand River avenue
yesterday to have a blacksmith set a
shoe for one Of the horses. As the wo.

TOO MUCH AT HOME.

1t is surprising how soon a wife tires
OF the company OF 4 man who is too
much at home. Men are wise in get.
ting away from their own roof. trees a
certain portion of every day. Among
their wives will be found very general
consensus Of opinion to this effect
There will be found everywhere a dis.
position to pack off the men in the
morning and to bid them to keep out
Of the way until near evening, when il
is assumed that they will probably have
little news Of the busy world to bring
home, and when baby will be sure to
have said something exceptionally bril-
liant and precocious. The general
events Of the day will afford topics Of
conversation more interesting by far
than If the whole household had been
together from morning till night. A
very little enquiry, too, will elicit the
fact that men about home all day are
eminently apt to be fidgety and grumpy
and interfering-altogether objection
able, in short. This is the case very
often, even with workingmen Of genius
authors, or parsons, or painters-but
it is particularly apt to be so with the
unemployed, such for instance, as busi-
ness men who have retired or who are
out Of harness for short time. The
spirit of mischief is never at loss for o
job for pa,erfamilias if it catches him
idling and lounging about, neither at
work nor at play. II stirs up his bile
and irritability, very likely, and incites
him to the reform of domestic abuses.
1t kindles his sanitary ardor, and sends
him poking and shifting about incon-
vcnicntly into all the odd corners Of
the establishment; or sets him about
the curtailments OF housekeeping extrav-
agancc, or the amendment Of various
unmcthodical household procedure, all
Of which, however right and proper,
tends to disturb domestic peace and
quietude, and to make all the feminine
members Of the family very uncomfort-
able

PROPAGATION OF CARP.

The water was recently drawn off
from n carp pond at Washington, loca.
ted between the White House and the
Potomac River, used by the Fish Com
mission for propagaiing purposes. This
pond covered about FIVE acres, the wa
ter being shallow, as carp do not re-
quire great depth. When the water
was reduced to a narrow stream cross
ing the pond, the fish were scooped
out with nets, transferred to tubs, and
having been carefully counted, were
ready for shipment to such points as
Prof. Spencer +. Baird, the Commiss
ioner OF Fish and Fisheries, had direc-
ted. The increase had been 65 900 in
one year The fish taken were varied
in size from the minute specimens half
an inch or less in length to those OF
two or three pounds in weight. They
were principally mirror carp, having a
few scales along the back, but there
were in their company not a few
leather carp and an occasional hybrid
and tench.

LOVE OF HOME.

The affections which bind a man to
the place OF his birth are essential in
his nature, and follow the same law rs
that which governs every innate feeling.
They are implanted in his bosom along
with life, aud are modified by every
Circumstance which he encounters from
the beginning TO the end OF his exis.
tence. The sentiment which in the
breast Of any man is an instructive
fondness for the spot which he drew
his early breath, becomes, by the pro-
gress Of mankind and the formation of
society, more enlarged feeling, and
into the noble passion of pairiotism.-
The love OF country. the love VI the
village where We were born. of the
field which we first pressed with our
tender footsteps, Of the hillock which
We first climbed, are the same affection,
only the latter belongs to each oi us
separately; the first can be known but
by men united in masses. II is found
ed upon every advantage which a ma
tion is supposed to possess, and is in
creased by every Improvement which il
is supposed to receive.

port that they have a CARLOAD Of prop.
