"TTOU praise the homes of England, and your .L earnest glance Is bent On a cottage that you deem to he the cottage of content i Around the porch how lovingly the rich, red roses cling. How sweetly 'mid the orchard trees, the birds in concert sing. You picture the fond husband, and the fair and gentle wife, Hut do you boast a magic glass to view their Inner life; If storms of angry strife assail that scene of light and bloom, Vain is its sylvan beauty 'tis the iwf that makes the Home. Anon we Journey on our way, the air blows fresh and free, Yon goodly dwelling looks upon the deep and boundless sea ; Well must Its owners love you say, the votive waves to greet. That cast bright sea weeds and gay shells as trib utes at their feet ; Hut, have they gifts of purer kind, of nobler, better worth? Does true affection, bring its stores to cheer the social hearth? If not, their eyes In languor o'er the wondrous sea may roam, Unhccdful of its glory 'tis the heart that makes the Home. The owners of that stately hall, that now attracts your sight. Arc welcoming a courtly throng within their walls tonight; 'Tis but a fair dissolving view that morn will soon dispel. Yes, soon the music will he hushed, the guests will say farewell ; Then, when the household group remains, 'mid dying lamps and flowers, Will they, with fevered restlessness, recall those festal hours, Each, reading in the other's eyes a tale of weary gloom, If so, their gold is worthless 'tis the heart that makes the Home. Come, I will show you happy homes amid the city's din, Discord and strife may reign without, but love abides within; They are not graced with works of art, rare (low ers, and warbling birds, Yet, they are rich in pleasant thoughts, kind smiles and gentle words; Perchance their inmates may depart, another home to timl. Y'et, will they east no longing glance on that they leave behind; The tranquil spirit of content, they feel will surely come To cheer their future dwelling 'tis the heart that makes the home. Our homo below should typify the home we seek above; How shall we gain the blessing? Wc are told that " Ood Is love," Each to the humblest dwelling-place, tho graces may impart Of a pure and lowly spirit, of a true and tender heart, Forbearance, L inilnesK, jmtienee, trust, these these shall prove our slay When youth declines, when pleasure falls, when riches pass away. And though, beyond our calm abode, we gaze on mists and gloom, Sweet peace shall shine within it, 'tis tho heart that makes 1 lie Home, AX ILLINOIS INVALID. " "T TELL you, sir, that truth JL stranger than fiction." " Yes'!1" said I, with a studied effort to play the agreeable to the new comer. Wo were setting nt a plain but well spread table in the kitchen of a Western farm-house. Everything was on a gener- ous scale, from the rolling prairie with its billowy reaches, down to the hay-stacks nnd the big wood-pile near the door. Within the house the same ample greeting was prominent. Hence we were in ex cellent spirits us wo sat down to the smoking hot supper. Mr. Felderkin with his two boys waited for no ceremony, and I followed their example in blunting my keen appetite with savory morsels. Two buxom daughters wero bustling around tho kitchen and replenishing tho table, while their vigorous mother, with hospi tality shining nil over her red face, was watching with care, lest we should for a moment seo tho bottom of cup or plate. We had nearly eaten our way through to victory, and some of us had rushed back to rest on our laurels nnd to ogle the damsels, when tho door opened, and in stepped a man of medium stature, red cheeks, long reddish hair, intelligent face and about 45 years of age. liow are you, David ? stud our host, id turning to me, exclaimed in his heurty tones. " Stranger, this arc Mr. Spencer, the sickest in tin that God ever made. Now, Dtivc, tell the yankco sonic of your great moral truths " Thus introduced nnd challenged, Spcn cev gazed solemnly into my face, nnd, wee ing expectation there depicted, ho uttered I tho original phrase with which this sketch begins. 1 had been so often quizzed, as a youth from New England, that I hardly knew what to expect, and therefore waited fur spencer to proceed. At this stage, Mrs F., in the kindness of her henrt, poured out a bowl of milk nnd offered to tho new comer. He took it in silence, swallowed it nt a single gulp, set down the crockery with a shun, and sinking into a chair, appeared to be griped with a terrible pain. " l'erhnps you would rather have had water," said the hostess timidly. " Well inarm, drinking milk is about like taking pills to mc, but it's no consequence, now its down," rc blied the gloomy ninn. Thinking to relieve the good lady's confusion 1 asked Mr. Spencer if he had recently been ill. f lad my query been a patent corkscrew, and Mr. Spencer a re sistless bottle of champagne, tho explo sion could not h.ivc been more immediate. " 111, sir! ill! That little word is too short, sir. Ill ! You see nothing, sir, but my remains. I have been David Spencer. Now, sir, I may say, without intending disrespect to my wife, I am the reucoi iiio late u. a. jict me give you, stranger, in a few words, a sketch of my troubles. "My lungs are badly cut up. One of them is clear gone collapsed, the doctor says shrivelled up like a black smith's apron. The other one looks better, but doesn't amount to much. Have often bled a quart at once, and thought it not worth mentioning. I. take a long breath now and then, and have an awful time, toiid. bloating up like a " But that isn't the worst. My liver plagues mc with an old trick. It turns inside out and wanders over my system. I suppese stranger, that the greater part of my liver is inside of those boots," thrusting out his two cowhides from under tho table. " But I have another curious disease. Some of the doctors say it's paralysis, but one medicine man calls it intermittent lock jaw, and I reckon he's right. It just grabs me and shuts me right up all over. Can t stir a muscle ; teeth all locked together like a rat-trap: can't .11 i i ... . , taiu orwinic my ictc eye. All my con versation is done with my right eye, and I tell you, stranger, it gets powerfully tired. The lit often lasts two or three weeks, and it takes away all my appetite. for I have to be fed with just behind my eye tooth. squirt-: " You look as if you wanted to laugh, Mister, but them as takes care of mo in those spells don't laugh much, I tell you. They don't reckon that I make it any joke for them. " But I wouldn't mind these things if it wasij't for. (he slipping of my spinal cord. It gives mo no warniug, but tho first thing I know it gives away and pitches mo right over, head first, into whatever lies in front. Now, ono day last spring, just as I was getting over the lock jaw, I rode out on the prairie across by tho sloo, and 1 saw a big stone in tho road, and got out to push it over. Then I went to the sloo to wash my hands. As I bent forward, my shaky old spino let right go, and I dove head first into tho mud, nnd there I stuck, head under and feet thrashing on tho bank. I had to stay there till ono of my men, passing by, took mo by the heel and pulled me out." " liow long should you think you were under water, Mr. Spencer '(" asked one of the Felderkin boys. " lieally, 1 couldu t s:iy exactly, as I couldn't rcadly get nt my watch, but it was uigh on to a half an hour, and I will confess, gentlemen, that I never was so hard put to it for breath in my life." " But, Sir. Spencer don't you take any medicine for your troubles ?" " Medicine ! Oh, yes ! Why, sir, I've taken in one dose a hunk of blue pill as big as a baby's fist, and I've swallowed a whole apothecary shop except the bottles nnd corks. And I tried hydropathy; went to a Chicago doctor and got a pre scription for boiling water so it wouldn't scald me; filled a half hogshead and got in ; was scrubbed and rubbed, and scra ped with an old iron candlestick to open my pores Then I got to bed, and pres ently I begnu to sweat. I sweat through tho feather bed, and through tho straw bed, and through the sacking, down on to tho floor of tho room in a stream to the door-sill, and out through a crack under tho door into tho street. Said I to Hannah, (that's my wife,) 1 Hannah, I can't stand this ; I won't be drowned in my own bed.' So I got up nnd dressed mc, nnd put on my hat to go out. It was a old dny in January. As I opened tho door I noticed the rain-drops falling last on my clothes. Said I, 'Hannah, whatn suddeu shower !' 4 Why, husband, it don't rain,' she said, Gentlemen, it was nothing but the perspiration stream ing oil' my forehead ! How They Dined. SHORTLY Britain, n after the war with Great tleman built a residence in the vicinity of Fort George, on the Niagara frontier. and in accordance with tho old country idea of excltisivcncss, he inclosed his grounds with a high hoard fence. Hero ho lived like an old English gentleman, so that none of the elite of the officers of the neighboring garrison were permitted to pass ins gates, lhcro was a very good understanding between the American of ficers at Fort Niagara nnd the British of ficers at Fort George, nnd the men wero permitted occasionally to visit back and forth. Among tho American soldiers was a queer chap, who stuttered terribly, and was always getting into mischief. One day this chap took a small boat that lay moored at the foot of tho walls of the fort, and crossed over tho Canada shore t) have a hunt. He wandered over several miles in the rear of Fort George, without meeting any game, and on his return, seeing a crow within tho enclo sure of the aristocratic Englishman, he scaled the fence and brought down his gamo. The Colonel witnessed tho trans action, nnd advanced while the soldier was reloading. He was very angry but seeing the Yankee standing with a loaded gun in his hands he gulped down his an ger for a moment and merely asked him if he had killed tho crow. " I am sorry," said the Colonel, " for he was a pet. By the way, that is a very pretty gun ; will you be so kind as to let mc look at it ?" The soldier complied with his request. The other took the gun and stepped back a few paces, nnd then broke into a tirade of abuse, concluding with an order to stoop down and take a bite of the crow or lie would blow his brains out. The soldier explained, apologized and entreated. The colonel kept his finger on the trigger, and sternly repeated his command. There was shoot in the En; lishman's and the eye ; there was no help tor it, stuttering soldier st ioped down and took a bite ot tue crow, but swallow it lie could not. Up came his breakfast, and it appeared as if he would throw up his toe-nails. The Englishman gloated over the misery of his victim, and smiled com placently at every additional heave. When he got through vomiting and wi ping his eyes, the Colonel handed him his gun, with the remark : " Now, ras cal that will teach you how to poach on a gentleman's enclosure." The Yankee soldier took his gun, and tho Colonel might have seen the devil in his eye if he had looked close. Stepping back he took deliberate aim at tho heart of his host and ordered him instantly to finish the crow. Expostulations, prayers and entreaties were useless. There was shoot in Yankee's eye then. There was no help nt hand and he took a bite of tho crow. One bite was enough to send all the good dinner he had lately eaten on the same journey with tho garrison fare of the soldier, and while the Englishman was in the agony of sickness, .Jonathan escaped to the American shore. The next morning the commander of Niagara was sitting in his quarters, and Col. j-, was announced " Sir," said he, ' I come to demand the punishment of one of your men. who yesterday eutercd my premises and committed a great outrage." " We have three hundred men here, and it would be difficult for mo to know who you mean," said the officer. The Englishman described him as a long, dangling, stoop shouldered, stut tering devil. " Ah, I know who you mean said the officer, etting into trouble. Orderly, call Tom." In a few minutes Tom entered, and stood straight as his natural build would allow, while not a trace of emotion was visible in his countenance. " Tom," said tho officer, " do you know this gentleman ? " Ye-yo-ye-yo-yes sir," li Where did you see him before ?" . " I d-d-dinod with him yesterday." It is needless to say that the joke was against tho Englishman, aud that Tom escaped punishment." SUNDAY READING. It Nerfr Dries t'p. "WAS staying at a village on the Welsh coast, where the iiconlo had to I bring nil their water from u well. Not a single house had a pump. At nil hours of tho day, but chiefly before breakfast and before ten-time, little feet and great, often unshod, but very active, might bo seen passing along a narrow lane, with every kind of pitcher, kettle, and can, to a fresh-water well. Not a very trust worthy lricnd, after all, was the village well. " Is this well ever dry?'' I inquired, " Dry ? Yes, ma'am ; very often in hot weather." " And if the spring dries up ?" "Why then we go to the well higher up the best water of all !" " But if the well higher up fails?" " Why, ma'am that well never dries up-i-nevcr. It is always tho same sum mer nnd winter." " I went to sec this precious well which " never dries up." The water was clear and sparkling, coining down from the high hills not with torrent leap and roar, but with the steady flow nnd soft murmur of fulness and freedom. It flowed down to the highway-side. It was within reach of every child's little pitcher. It was enough for every empty vessel. The small birds came down thither to drink. The ewes and lambs had trodden down a little path to its brink. Th6 thirsty beasts of burden, along the dusty road, knew the way (as I could sec by their tracks) to tho well that " never dries up." It reminded mc of tho water of life and salvation flowing from the " Hock of A ges," and brought within reach of all men by the Gospel of Christ. Every other brook may grow dry in the days of drought and adversity, but this heavenly spring never ceases to flow. Let us all hasten with hearts nthirst to the heavenly well "which never dries up." Good Xaf lire at Home No trait of character is more valuable iu a wife than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be made happy without it. It is like tho flowers that spring up in our pathway, reviving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night, wearied and worn out by the toils of the day, and how soothing is a word dictated by a sweet disposition ! It is sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy, and tho cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the mind of the whole family. When it is found in the wife and mother, you ob servo kindness aud love predominating over the natural feelings of a bad heart. Smiles, kind words and looks characterize the children, and peace and love have their dwelling here. Study then to acquire and retain a sweet temper. It is more valuable than gold. It captivates more than beauty, and to the cud of life retains all its freshness and power. The Idle Man. The idlo man is an annoyance a sauce. He is an intruder iu tho thoroughfare of everyday life, stands iu our path nnd wo push nui hisji contemptuously aside. He is uo advantage to any one. ire nnnoys busy men. He makes them unhappy. He is a cipher, in society. Ho may have an income to support him in idleness or he may sponge on his good natured friends. But in cither case ho is despised. Young men, form habits of industry; do something in this busy, wide awake world. Move about for tho benefit ( I mankind, if not for yourself. Do not be idle, (iod's law is that by tho sweat oi our brow wo shall earn our bread. This is a good one, aud tho bread is sweet. Do not be idle. Minutes aro to precious to be squandered thoughtlessly; rjfir,WhiteficId produced great effet! upon his hearers on ono occasion, by an illustration which appealed to the eye im wellns to tho car. " You seem to thinw salvation un easy matter. Oh! just in easy as for me to catch that insect passing by me." He made a grasp at a fly, rea' or imaginary. Then he paused a moment . and opened his hand, " But I have missed it !" Bigr li.KiK.T Now. Babbi Eliezij said t) his disciples: " Turn to God One day befoie your death."
