Ob home, sweet. sweet hone ! \\W'it u

the heart as the symlphouies of that B-h
beautiful word smnite the tohlds of i
eulnolr and of love! The earlie*t o 1yea

where divine lessons fell tromi a lnoth

Smon itiis of a tather, implaltedl themni-d

uman may in the brad, seething,
tmultuous world; amid whateet r l "
tcene may be cast his eventful lifet; -,
surrounded with whatsoever assoiua
tions and circuuistauces among the
grand, living, moving meas ses of earth, tY
there is ever an hour when the uemno- hi
rv offhome, his childhoods home, will t.
transport his mental vision to by ',oIe t
years, and cause him to tlbhold the 1'I
very siuilitude of the sceees and places , ,
ft early days. No change of season
or time or place can ever banish fron ,
the humlah heart, the longing, linger-l.
ing contemplation of the happiest u io
tneeltit arths _rl1'.'ioln; tlhome ' kh
Inents hallowed in memory by the son
renirs of happy childlhool. Ah, how
mtad and desolated must hw that Illal's ti
heart, across whose tentril thie incense S
of a mothers love never quavere lI
among the bowerns ot chiltldhoodl home!
How callus and insensate Imust it be, '
if it can not recall momielts sptiet ill
holy aspirations at the Itnothers knee;l
or in listenilng to ia fathers daily ilio
cationsl of God's blessings upon thel fr
dear ones of his heart, as they ascend- ii
ed at vesper hour to the Great Throne: lin
or which can not reulelnber the testi\ve
sports of childhoods prattlinlg hours
uamong the dells and hills of his natal
habitation ! I
But oh ! if there be one place of earth li
holier than another it is when roaming II
,discontenltel d man buil ts the worht's of
love out of sight, and tAidsa a paradli.se
by the hearth-stone of the home of his tI
n'manhood hours. It is there that no s
-vexatious cares tfor worldly coucerns a
may rise up as grin spectres to disturb 1
ithe ,unuingled felicities of his soul;
b:ut, with the cerished, 1,recio.s g
treasures vouclhsafist from on Hligh, t
lie finds a safe .syl.unn, a very reftigce
fromn the colntasination of earthly van- C
ities and viees, may if he choose, gtlh- Ih
er unto tllmselfall of the highest, aud s
noblest and most hallowed blmessings i
of our -ublunitry existence. Then too,
no nman realises, or can realize the
depth, land the height :and lthe breadth ti
ot the meantag of the word HOME till
he has wandered and strayed away o
fromt his household gods. Ah. then it '
is that the heart cries eat with the la- (
muentations of gritt£, A.n1 longing love -
and despair tfr tlwe restoration ef,its
idolsh Then it is, that billows of icny
less gloom sweep over the soul. a1nd - 1

withered grss sand as a 'parhctl sa

CorTn A.-CI~orFA.-.The tediolns

A leadling member of the bar, rather
noted for his strategy of confusing

fended dignity theattorney turned to
Chisf Justioc Brighma, who remarked
with a smile, "1 think the witness is
about right in that, is she not f"
Which reminids the older membhers of1
the bar of a similar ImisaiLventure that
a still more distinguished nainber of
the Berklhire bar once met witlh at
the hands of Jntico tShaw. " W\\'here

the " learned brother" of a witlneis lul

Slahwyer. " Witness," said thel Chief
Juotioe, eompasionately, "do you
wish to chbange your last answer 1'
" No, sir, I don't." " Well, I wouldn't
if I were in your place." And the
chMekie that shook the beneh was atu
dibly echoed.

How Pat Told the News.
Wi
Pat O'llara, or ,Old Harry," as we cidl
uised to call him. ran a simall one horse w

Blile ilch" h and Copewr City. lie wa fin
Sllitbriiniin, pretty well advatlced in hi
years, uud his two prouluient charac
teristics were--first, a renuuirabhle
volutility, which reudered any collinmu- of
uication with himi a matter et" tilme and !is
patience ; alnd s&econdly, his utter inia- I
bility to do anything correctly, provi- hi
ded there was aiily possible wayi ofi
tasking a blunder.
Relwated exlKerilneiits had demoil
.i itra'ed it to be utterly fultle to it ti
teml!pt to sendll any verbal message by al
P'at, as witless the tiallowiing example : iih
Major Fitzgerald had died of pleri
sy fever, arri as lPat was just startinrgi
for the l. ulchi, a message was Cgiven i

there, tIhlt -when nearly well of the li!

of a relapse, and drlopped off very ud It
denly." e,,
Arrived at the Ciileh, ,lhnsnt the
tirst wait Pat met was the Major's a

his illiness, was of course anxious to w
know how he did. e

ot sigtial of distlress. He had a hair on
at the other toothpick, and there that
re eockroach sat a fishing. The cock
oi roach exhansted, had fallen asleep.
ced The sight melted me to tears. I never
ll. hIlad to chew leather to get a soul. I
o.was born with one. I took that cock
ri oach out, lgave him a spooliful of

ou A Nebraska man lhas invented a
