CHARMS OF RUDE NATURE,
MOTHER JONES.

1t is not unusual to hear some one in
the hours of discomfort complain Of
the loneliness of home. An intelligent
bachelor Of this valley takes broader
view of the-subject. He is an extern
sive traveller and Is familiar with for
eign as well as native cities. He is
possessed of an ample fortune and is
liberal in its use for his own comfort,
but tires of all places but home. He
owns II fine farm, orchard and vine
yard. When he tires Of the city and
the associations of man he returns to
his bachelor nome. His trees are his
solace, are his pride, and it is in their
company that this mai finds his re.
creation. His labor is in his travels
and his visits. This man is not differ.
ent from all other men. He has
learned Il lesson many Others. have not
learned. There are perhaps more
men who love their trees and vines
than there are who love the other
associations of the farm. but there are
many heavy hearts who long to return
to the associations OF the old home.
They pine to be among the cattle,
horses, fields and flowers for q nrief
period Of rest. There may be longings
for the busy town but the country and
the farm afford the most substantial
happiness for restless manhood.

The Snoh.

The snob is encountered under
all circumstances and in every con-
dition of life. The dictionary de-
fines this invidious person as a
vulgar upstart, but one whose
charity is broad enough may in
clude those Of mature years and
those possessing a variety of char
acteristics. The snob in the mar
row sense is perhaps the most
familiar of the company. however.
The practice is SO common in the
society of young people for some
upstairs to profess superior breed
ing and intelligence, when in fact,
they are ridiculous ignoramuses
Those whom we term tenderfeet,
because we are too charitable to
apply more appropriate epithets
are the best and most common ex-
amples of the modern snob. The
young people who come among us
from the East expect to have only
unre6ned people for associates in
the great west and they sometimes
remain upon the stills of false i'm
preston for a long time. The
mind OF the pilgrim is often disa-
bused so far that he learns that his
knowledge is not superior to thft
Of his associates, but the idea of
superior breeding fingers long in
the clouded brain.
There seems to be a weak place
in every society circle that encour-
ages the snob. There are young
people who do not discern the alb
surdity Of the pretenses of those
who would deceive them. And
there are those in every circle who
are little better than snobs them
selves. The one who stands more
upon makeup than merit finds con-
genial companionship in the true
snob. If it were not for the agree
able associates the snohs of society
would more readily be redeemed
from Their errors of ConCeit
One class of newspaper critics
might be termed snobs. They are
not in any sense upstairs, but they
are presumptious if not vulgar.
There are men in every community
who elect themselves specialists.

1t will be necessary for the

Character Sketch OF John Bull.

research and been the subject OF
many good essays. Perhaps the
best little character sketch ever
dedicated TO him is from our Amer
lean Washington Irving. 1t was
written fifty years ago, was good
then and IS good still In it is al
most observable the spirit OF
prophecy. If not it is good evil
dence of John Bulls stcadtastness
III his peculiar methods. The fol-
lowing is from Irving's Sketch
Book:
"Though there may be some
thing rather whimsical in all this,
yet confess I cannot look upon
John 5 situation, without strong
feelings Of interest. With all his
odd humours and obstinate preju-
dlces he is stirling hearted old
blade. He may not be so wonder
fully fine fellow as he thinks him
self, but he is at least twice as
good as his neighbors represent
him. His virtues are all his own.
all plain, home-bred, and unaf-
fected. His very faults smack of
the racincss of his good qualities.
His extravaganza savors OF his gen
crosby; his quarrelsomeness, of
his courage; his credulity, of his
open faith; his vanity, of his pride;
and his bluntness, of his sincerity.
They are all the redundancies of a
rich and liberal character. He is
like his own oak; rough without,
but sound and solid within; whose
bark abounds with excresences in
to the growth and
grandeur of the timber; and whose
branches make fearful grooming
and murmering in the least storm,
from their very magnitude and
luxuriance. There is something,
too, i'll the appearance of his old
family mansion, that is extremely
poetlcal and picturesque; and, as
long as it can be rendered comfort.
ably habitable, I should almost
trelnb!e to see it meddled with dur
ing the present conflict of tastes
and opinions. Some of his advis-
ers are no doubt good architects,
they might be ofservice; but many,
l tear. are mere Jewellers, who,
when they had once got to work
with their mattocks on the veneer
able edifice, would never stop un-
til they had brought it to the
ground, and perhaps buried them
selves among the ruins. All that
wish, is, that JOINTS present
troubles may teach him, more pru-
dence in future; that he may cease
to distress his mind about other
peoples affairs, that he may give
up the fruitless attempt TO promote
the good Of his neighbors, and the
peace and happiness Of the world,
by dint of cudgel; that he may re-
main quietly at home; gradually
get his house into repair, cultivate
his rich estate according to his
fancy; husband his income-if he
thinks proper; bring his unruly
children into order-if he can; re-
new the jovial scenes of ancient
prosperity; and long enjoy. on his
paternai lands, a green, an hon
