Reading AIOud.

A very pleasant habit for home life
is that of reading aloud some pleas
ant book in the evenings, and if the
selection of the book is wise, it Ger
tainly makes the home circle very
attractive, and hghtens the drudgery
of the mother, who often sits after
tea with her basket of stockings to
be darned, and who has dreary time
if each member of the family, who
does not go out, takes his or her
paper or book as 1 have often seen,
and subsidies into their own interests,
leaving her to her own meditations.
A book read aloud at home gets a
charm, apart from itself sometimes
its very name will conjure up in our
memories in the far past-the pleas
ant family circle, then perhaps, I'M
broken; the cheerful fireside, and
frequently, too, the comments upon
what is being read, which add to the
interest, and give a newer insight.
The same association applies to a
piece of work which is in operation
while any book is being read.-South

administration is recorded "The

seekers after the Inauguration of the
Republican administration was won
derful, and the mail brought petitions
from thousands of place hunters who
could not urge their claims in person.
At the Postoffice department alone,
over $4,000 applications for appoint
ment had been placed on file before
the last of March. The most dis
appointed place hunters who came
to Washington were the little town
and ward politicians, who having
worked in their respective localities,
fancied that the who'd world, includ
ing Mr.. Lincoln, must be satisfied
that but. for each of them the Republi-
can party would have been defeated.
One village in Pennsylvania sent two
rival shop keepers, each of whom
wanted TO be postmaster. One based
his claim on the fact that he had
presented a set of torch.lamps to the
village corps Of Wide Awakes, while
the othsr demanded the appointment
because he had supplied the oil. The
question was the relative value of the
torch-lamps without the coal oil, or
the coal oil without the torch-lamps
Mr., Lincoln finally cut the Gordian
knot by reappointing the old post

A careful, conscientious, reporter for the
daily press is an advantage to town; but
the opposite kind of reporter, whose main

the business medium for furthering his
selfish ends and venting his petty spites, is
a damage and nuisance to the place he
halls from, and should be sat down on with
