Tt cannot tie stolen, neither can It
be destroyed by fire. 1t is q saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
il pays large interest to its deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis of all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
20 rely in times of adversely. as 1t
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop

The. owner of a piece of real es-
late is the owner of a
HON E,
or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
emit indeed, as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries
Every person expects to DE the
eSvner of a home sometime, but
the masses Of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pas unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own, when a little exercise OF
good judgment at the opportune
time. and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
and the money which they spend
far rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comforts
and enjoyment of life, or laid by
for a 'rainy day"
They who arrive at the SHADY
