The Spells Of Home.
BY MRS. HEMANS.
BY the soft green light in the woody, glade,
On the banks of moss where thy childhood
p layed
By the household tree through which thine eye
First looked in love to the summer sky;
By the dewy gleam, by the very breath
Of the primrose tufts in the grass beneath,
Upon thy heart there is laid a spell
Holy and precious—oh I guard it well !
By the sleepy ripple.of the•stream,
Which has lulled thee iiato many a dream;
By the shiver of the icy
To the wind of morn et thy casement eaves; ,
By the bees' deep murmur in the limes;
By music of the Sabbath chimes;
By every sound. of thy native shade,
Stronger end dearer the spell is made.
By the gitttiering around the winter hearth,
When the twilight called unto household mirth
By the fairy tale, or the legend old;
/0, that ring of happy faces told; • ,
'By the quiet hour when hearts unite
In the parting prayer and the kind good night;;
By' the smiling eye and 'the lovely tone
Over thy life has the spell been thrown.
And bless that gift = --it Lath gentle might,
A guardian power and a guiding light ;
It bath led the freeman forth to stand
In, the mountain battle of his` native land4;, f
It bath brought the wanderer o'er the seas,
To die on the hills of his own fresh-breeze ;
And back to the gates of his father's hall
It hath led the weeping prodigal.
Yes ! when the heart in its pride would stray
From the phre ft4oves;of its youth away;
When the sullying, breath of the world would
QOM
O'er the flowers it brought fromAs ehildhood'a
' home,
Think then again of woody glade s
And the sound by the rustling* wade :
Think of the tree at thY'father's deer,
And the kindlYsfell hal4owerronee more.

" Come, over here away from the window,
so mother: wont see me," said Teddy to
another little boy. " I on't see the use of
having Mothers [ Mimother' will nevef let
me do anything:"
4.
My mother says, when I get into
puddle, or tumble , do . Wn ,eellar, dr tip over
the tea-kettle, that a child left to hintself
bringeth his mother to shame," he said.
"I wish my mother would leave , me to
myself; she's alivays afraid I shall hurt my
self. I wish she'd go to lianisehatka—that's
where people go when they go off a good
ways, isn't it ? I'd like.to be left alone a Ml
tie while I"
And then Neddy shook. his 4411 with one
of those little boy-shakes that - miry one
knows so well; When he went into the
house his mother called him to her.
" My dear Neddy, ll am going away to be
gone a week, Do you think you can `get
along without me ?"
" I guess I can take care of myself," he
replied, independently. .
The mother went away, and Neddy',6 first
task was to get himself ready.for'S'ehobl:
had a great deal of hair, and was very par--
ticular about having it look nice.' Neddy
loved his pastor verymuch. His name was
Mr. May, and he wore his hair parted on the
left side. So Neddy had two ways of-part
ing his hair. Oho he called ala May, when
he had it parted like that of his pastor; the
other he called' anti May. Neddy tried to
part his hair right, but could not. He went
to his sister. Susie. She parted it anti May.
" No, Susie, I want it a la May," he said.
Susie parted it a la Man , but it was not
quite straight, And Neddy was so, fretful
about it thafat last she parted it exietlyin
the middle, and told him that if he 'wanted it
different he must part it himself. How much
he needed his mother's hand, that hand which
always parted the hair right, and. smoothed
it down so lovingly afterward& Then no one
could pin his collar to suit him, and he - flung
it down and went off to school, saying.
" I'll go to school without a, collar, and I
shall look like a paddy, I know, I shall."
Neddy had a plenty of brothers and sis
ters who tried to be brave in their mother's'
absence. •
" -We shall have to get along without
mother when we are men and women, and.we
might as well begin now, they they said.
So they laid their forlorn little.),:ieais ,on
their Pillews at night without thelood-night ,
kiss, and if they waked up frightened and
screamed out "Mother !" it dint do any
good. There was one song which Neddy
liked to hear now. His big brother Edgar
played it on the piano. It begun thus:--
" Backward, turn backward, 0 dike,
Make me a child'again, just for to-night."
"Rook me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep."
And Neddy wished so much that his mother
would come home and rock, him to sleep. If
, he painted a pretty picture his ,father :would
look coolly at it. His sister would say, "Yes,
yea, child," and his brothers would say they
Or4o better than that themselves.
`lerigth' &tidy was taken sick i4,ponse
quence of eating too many cherries, what
there was no one to attend him. His father
sat, up with him and his sisters *ere kind to,
him, but he wished for one dear ,face,—oh,
rsuchirlule would almost be willing.to,die.
•
if ihe would come.
All the rest of the children were getting!
into trouble. Their father said that they
looked like so many scarecrows. To be sure
Bridget dressed them up clean every Morn
ing, and told them if they 'got dirty a bit'she
would break every bone . m their bodies. Of
•course this only made matters worse. Neddy
walked straight through a mud-puddle just,
to see 'if he should get his bones broken.
Then Susie was very saucy to Bridget, and
was not sorry for it either, and would not
ask her pardon. Bridget had scolded her
and she eouldt:Lot, see why she coUld'not re
turn the complinamt. Her father said that
she must not eat with the family till she had
'begged her pardon. This the proud girl WAS
determined not to do, and ate alone.
And blue-eyed little Alice dreaded her
caressed as much as she would have (Line
those of a grizzly bear. Her father would
kiss her, and then look " away of " with his
eyes forgetful of the little girl in his
Poor child, she had been her mother's pet
and missed her sadly.
Then there was heedless Tom, a boy who
was always doing something which he ought
not to do, and every one blamed him. When
his mother was at home she Would say
" Oh, I think Tom did not mean to do it.
Be more careful next time. ray boy."
•Now there was no one to take Tom's part,
ax d he grew reckless, and mischieyous on
purpose, a regular Ishwaelite, gand
against every one, and every one's hand
against him. He tormented the cat, and
kept up such a squealing among the children,
that you would have thought the house was
a pig-pen. The fattier looked tired and care
worn. Bridget'grew careless and cross and
said that she should leave if the mistress did
not come home soon.
One morning a sweet, mild face appeared
at the door, and a gentle voice said eagerly,
" My dear children !"
Wasn't there a shout of joy from all ?
The cry, "Mother has come I mother has
come !" resounded through the house. Never
had her face looked more mOtherly before.
None of them remembered that she had such
beautiful eyes, or thatlier hair was so smooth
and soft. Alice clung convulsively to her,
and all the little childish griefs that had
been gathering in tieh heart and - had found
no outlet now poured forth in tears and sobs.
Neddy cried too, and said, •
"Oh, mother, I dreamed you was dead.
lam so glad you have come. I can't get
along without you."
Tom didn't ery, but he looked sober, - and
said,
" Mother, I'ye been a naughty boy, gen
erally, and kept the whole house in hot
water, now I'm going to "
turn over a,new leaf
and mend my manners. 4 .
Bridget suddenly grew respectful and
called the children "little
" Poor things, and hadn.t they missed the
mother of them."
Susie's conduct was set before her in a
proper light, and she begged Bridget's par
don. Oh, but they , were all glad, those lit
tle children who had been motherless so
long.
And the mother,,with her shawl half
and her bonnet in a chair, rocked Alice and
kissed Neddy, smiled at. Tom gave 'Susie
good advice,:and mended a great hole in
.a
torn jacket, all at Mop ) and
..was so thankful
that she had got home once.more I • ,
"J sayyou!" said Neddy to hialittle play
mate, next morning. "You can't get along
without your mother, I can't get along with
out mine. Mothers are good things, and
you'd better mind your mother, Tommy.”---

A fallen tree,' called the " Miner's Cabin,"
gave us a chance to climb ikon its roots
and walk over its trunk. 'There it lay, its
trunk as high as the roof of a two story house,
and longer than an ordinary city square.
The bark is so soft and so deep that you seem
to be walking on cushions. But should you
slip, " falling off 'a log" is here no trifling
matter. Another, called the " Pioneers's
Cabin," is hollow, and has been partially
burned. A family could camp very comforta
bly in it. A small opening serves as a back
door. I passed through it, but the doctor
did not follow.
Thus we wandered from tree to tree, while
twilight gathered round us ere we had com
pleted the entire tour. Two or three deserve
special mention. The ".Mother of the For
est" has been stripped, of its bark -for about
seventy feet, and is now dead. The bark was
cut in sections, a scaffolding laving been
erected around the tree, and a winding ladd
er
. made by boring into the tree and inserting
pins. This tree is thirty-two feet in diamet
er, and three hundred and two feet high'.
The bark was taken to Eiirope some years
since on exhibition. When in the ;Crystal

..The. ";Father of the Forest" is still larger,
but is fallen. It was broken by, the fall at ,a
.distance of nearly three hur i ldred feet, and is
eighteen feet in diameter where broken. It
is;supposed that it may have been four hun
dred, and fifty .feet high. A portion of the
-trunk is hollow, and men on horseback have
ridden through - the holleW portion of it.
Though imbedded deeplyin the ground byits
weight, .it is still some twenty-five feet high,
and so broad that a teauf Might drive along
its trunk. A numerous group surround this
fallen " Father." During last winter another •
large tree,. named " Hercules," was thrown
glOwn by a storm. I was surprised to find the
ground so little disturbed. It appeared as
though it had been simply seated upon the
alluvial soil without any depth of root. This
led me to questionthe antiquity assumed for
these trees, being from four to Ave thousand
years. But our landlord tells us that the
roots descend for thirty feet or more, and•are
very large, but that the great weight of the
tree in falling breaks them abruptly off.
How this is I know not'; but I shall wait for,
another careful examination before I shall
feel assured of their age. The wood is red,
very light, and easily broken.
Those various groups are named c.The.
Empire' State,' Vermont,' The Old Dentin
. ion, Pennsylvania,'Lafayette,' General
:Scott,' ‘ The Three Graoes,, etc. Two, which
stand abont fOrty feet apart, on a hill-side,
are named the Old - Maid,' and the Old
Bachelor.' The waist of the Old Maid '
measures about sixty feet around, and she is
tall and comely., But think of such a couple
sighing for three thousand years in single
'blessedness
"=Near the hotel one of these trees was
some years since cut down. It measured se
venty-nine feet in . circumference seven feet
from the ground. Five men, with long au
gers: and . saws, were employed . twenty-five
days in felling it: A section of the bark
was exbibited.in San Trancisco_, and subse
quently" sent to. New .York. The Sabbath
schools of San Francisco, then fe* in num
ber, met in its circle, and - there was root( for
`a Piano, sot% etc. The stump ,is cut smooth
for a floor,' and a house is erected over it,
where companies meet for conversation and
