HOME.
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.

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

Quite as willingly, no doubt, would the
young folks of the higher ranks assume the
yoke and trust to providence ; but the usa
ges of society compel the observance of a
somewhat sterner prudence. 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. Mr. FOrd is mis
taken, as I had reason to know in supposing
that the custom had been abandoned by the
higher classes, and it is no unusual thing,
if by chttnce yoit walk late, to see- well ,
_ ele very proudest, keep
ing watch and wardin the sman flours; by
a lone balcony..
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 ?"
"Oh. dearest ,sik," answered the youth,
“.yott have, taught one a lesson now. that. I
Will never forget.. ' I feel now the truth of
the words which I never beforti . understood,
'it is better to give than - to receive.'. .•:,
