There is no place, where'er we roam, Though other skies are fair and bright, That gives such sweet delight as home, Or shines, with fairer, brighter light; And wander as we may for bliss, Yet home gives purer happiness. The heart may fancy foreign flowers, And seem enchanted with the view Of distant temples, groves and bowers, And scenes so beautiful and new; Yet home alone has charms to give, 'Which make it happiness to live. Our country, and our dear firesides ! Our friends—our loved and cherished ones! Though we should wander far and wide, In foreign climes and distant suns; Yet still true love within our breast Would call us home to sweeter rest. Our very mountains, vales, and streams, Our forests tow'ring to the skies, Our' lakes and lands, where beauty teems, Are visions bright before our eyes; No land so far, no home so sweet As ours, where love and beauty meet. We love the land that circles all The joys of home, and blessing dear; The good who come at mercy's call, The bsave who neither cower nor fear; Land of our birth !—home of the free ! Well ever love and cherish thee. 111i9rcllancouti sclcctiono. Courtship and Marriage in Spain. The inn-door manners of the Malaguenas are, I have said, simple and cordial, in a High degree—You start with a friend up- YHMEY.iII be strange; matter of routine of visiting cards as at home. It is a thing on the contrary, not to be dis posed of, and one which, from the time it occupies, would be quite serious, were it not, so exceedingly agreeable. You have threaded a half score of crooked, narrow streets, perhaps, when your guide rings at a very unpromising looking, large gate. In a moment you hear the clinking. of a latch, and a wicket opens before you. You enter, and hear a voice from the upper regions, calling out," Quiet', vieite?" or, more short ly, "Quien ?" (who comes or who ?) You are in the centre of court, and as your com panion replies, "Genie de pax,' or "Paz," (Peaceful people, or Peace !) you look up, and see the servant in an upper gallery, with the string in his hand, which has rais ed the latch for you. Your friend makes the proper inquiries, and, in a moment, you find yourself in an ante-chamber, on the first or second floor, from, which you are ushered into the receiving -room. In all probability, you find all the ladies of the fam ily together, in plain morning dress, and busy at some labor of the needle, from which no matter how hoMely and industrious it be, your presence does not disturb them. The endorsement of the gentleman who presents you, admits you at once, and you are made welcome and at ease, accordingly... Do not be surprised, if a fair maiden insists upon bestowing your hat out of harm's way, nor if another, with her rain delicate bands, should place the most luxurious seat in the room at your disposal. Perhaps, in a large balcony window, overhanging the street, there sits,' like a sweet saint in a niche, a fair'worker in embroidery. It may be, she is the comeliest, and the light, by chance, is (rood' and 'well adjusted, so you.will find the vacant chair, by her side, the place which of 'allothers is the most agreeable to you. What vou may talk of concerns no one, but preju diced as you may,be, in favor of the sterner elegance of ,the pure Castilian, it will be strange if your first experience does 'not re concile yon, straighttvays, to the soft mur derings of consonants. of which.the Andalu sian ,beauties are: so guilty.

Cupid's drafts with them, are giinerally on time and at long dates. For many years—often from early youth to manhood well matured—it is cus tomary for them, ester en relaeiones (to be upon relations) with each other, until the happy or unhappy young man, can per suade the fair one, or her less pursuadablo relatives, that he is able, con decoro, to keep house and family. Runaway _watch , es not being tolerated by church, state, or fashion, matrimony would thus become too often a sad, systematic business, were it not that, in Andalusia, the light of love's young dream is no "brief candle," but burns long and bright, as well as warm. In the mean time, the patient swain has the freedom of the father's house, and the ladie's conversa 7 tion, and on pleasant nights, when the moon, or stars, or his young Juliet's eyes invite him, he can say sweet things to her, till morning comes, through the re as, (the iron gratings) of her window. This relic of the olden times, when sleepless maidens wel comed their roving lovers, from midnight lattices, now goes by two most romantic names. Sonie call it come hierro, (to eat iron) a phrase, the foundation or deriva tion of which, may very reasonably be trac ed to some supposed approximation of the lovers lips to the window-bars. The other name, however, )velar lu imam (to pluck the hen turkey, as the Hand book translates it) seems of much less phylosophical etymolo gy, for surely, if so gallant a performance smacks at all of the poultry-yard, another bird, of Capitoline memory, would seem to be entitled toils honors.

I Pleasant Surprise. A young man of eighteen or twenty, a stu dent in a university, took a walk one day with a professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, such was his kindness to the young men whom it was his office to instruct. While they were now walking together, and the professor was seeking to lead the conversation to grave subjects, they saw a pair of old shoes lying, in the path, which they supposed belonged to a poor man, who was at work in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work. The young student turned to the profes sor saying, ..let us play the man a trick; we will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and watch to see his perplexity when he will search and can not tind them. "My dear friend," answered the proles ser, "we must never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you arc rich, and may give yourselves a much greaterpleas ure by means of this poor man. Put a dol lar in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves." The student did so and then placed him self with the professor behind the bushes hard by, through which they could easily watch the laborer, and see whatever won der or joy he might express. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path, were he had left his coat and shoes. While he put on the coat; he slipped one foot into one of his shoes ; -but feeling something hard, he stooped down and found the dollar. As tonishment and wonder were seen upon .his countenance ; he gazed upon the -- dollar, turned it round and looked again and again ; then he looked around on all .Sides, but he could see no one. Now he put the mon ey in his pocket and proceeded to put on the other shoe ; and how great was his as tonishtrient when he foOnd the other dollar! His feelings: overcame 'him ; he fell' upon his knees,- looked up to heaven, and utter ed aloud a 'fervent thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wile, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this time ly bounty frOM some unknown hand would save from The young man stood there deeply affec ted; and tears filled his eyes. . . ~ ,N ow.," said the : professor, 'dare you net much,better,pleased than it you had played yetir, intended trick ?"

Children should sleep in separate beds, and should not wear nightcaps. • Children under seven years of rige should. not be confined over six or seven hoursin: the house—and that time should be broken' by frequent recesses. Children and young people must be:made to hold their heads up and shoulders back - , while standing, sitting, or walking.. The best'beds for children are made of hair and cotton.- • From one to one and a half pound of sol id food is sufficient for a person in the ordi nary vocation of business. Persons in se dentary employments should drop one-third of their food, and they will then escape dis pcpsia. • Young persons should walk at least two or three hours a day in the open air. • Youg ladies should be prevented from bandaging the chest.
