She, however, continued to rattle on, and would give him no peace tilkho.fairly con,- fcssed that ha felt quite an interest in Miss Willis. "I do not admire your taste, eoz," laughed Miss• Leslie; "she certainly is very singular in her dress. Did you think the hat ,she wore at the exhibition was beam-. lug ?"- , • _ "Indeed I did not notice it.," he replied, "I am not much of a connoisseurin ladies' dresses, I only thought of the intellectual face beneath the bonnet." Some, two months after this conversa tion, Miss CliftOn and her friend Miss Ash. ley sat together. "Se, o Ent - ma Willis is to be married to night," remarked the former, "and every ono says that it will be a splendid wedding ; how provoking that we have no invitation I should be delighted to form the aequain tam of the Mertens." "We must blame ourselves," replied 'Miss Ashley, "Emilia would never have slighted us if we had not first slighted her." "How sorry I am that we wore so silly," said Miss Clifton ;'bat I think that I have learned'' lesson. I will never again be' ashamed. of ,a friend because she. chalices to wear an old fashioned bonnet." • . • A llome. If we were to tell a number of our friends that they don't know what a 'home' is, they would grow somewhat indignant— perhaps, use hard words. And yet it may be remarked that the number of persons, who know what a genuine . home is, by ex perience, is surprisingly few. One man in good circumstances will tell us that be has a fine house of his own, in - -which every comfort: and tronvenience is provided. lle has a wife and children there, also, and they give life to the place. Very true.-- But does he prefer that, home, thus furnish-ed and thus enlivened, to every other place in the world'? Does he sigh 'when the hour for leaving comes., and sidle wh'eu lie ie permitted to return ? Does he love to sit-by the cheerful fire and fondle the chil dren, entering into all their little, disputes with curious interest 1' Does ho take par . tionfar note'of the' bird in the cage, and the eat near tho fire? If not, he has no home,. in the deareet sense of. that dearest, of of words. If his mind is 'altogether, ab., sorbed in the dusty ways of business----if ho huiries'eway , ifroin' hinnie in the morning, : and is loth tole:urn at night,-,if, while ho is et borne, continues ; to think of the journel 'and ledger, and iePulsosite advances of the prattling children, ho haa nohaiiie ; his only has' a plat% where he lodges and takes his Meals. Ali happy is he who knows and appre ciates the full blisa of home; whose heart' is warmed and hunianisea by its cheerful influences, andwho feels how superior in purity of pleasure are all its enjoyments to thee-turmoil delights of out-door life— Thrice happy is such a man. lie has dis covered the only Paradise this world can now afford. It is only such a man who can have a deep and sincere pity for the unfortunate creatures who are homeless He regards them ae,being cut off from the best influence of the earth, and exposed to the action of the darker waves of life. lie feels keenly for them that have no fireside —no one to welcome him with smiles, and prattle over the history of the day ; no tongue to soothe when heavy cares have -troubled the mind and rendered the , heart sore ; and the sympathy of such a man is not slow to overflow in acts of benevolence. A good home is the source of the fountain of charity in the heart. The way to banish sin from the world is not so much to preach as to work a gainst it. Satan cards no- more about, talk than a barn door does ,of trigonom- etry ; but just show him a fierce face and a stout muscle, and heitieitosesits will be urEARLESS AND FitEE." The Snake Bird. . Alexander S.

The Lady Nugent belonged to Sir George Hodgkinsou, and was chartered; early last spring by the local Government at Madras as a troop-ship for the conveyance of reinforcements to the British forms at Rangoon, the seat of the Burmese war.— She sailed from Madras on the 10th of last May, having previously received the troops, which comprised 350 rank and file of the 25th Regiment of Madras Light Infantry, twenty. women And children, with the staff officers, among whom may be mentioned Lieut. Col. Johnstone, Lieut. and Adjt. Dtly; Lieut. and Quarter-master King, Li eut.Bainford, Assistant Surgeon Simpson and seven native commanding staff officers, the ship's crew, Captain Bannerman, the first, second and third officers, and 33 sea men. Within a fortnight after her &par turn, a frightful burrieane swept over the Bay of Bengal, which lasted three or four days, causing , a great many melancholy cas ualties. There can be no doubt that the unfortunate ship, Lady Nugent, encoun tered that fearful storm, and subsequently foundered, carrying with her every living soul on board, who all perished. - 77ic American Arctic Expepirm . intelligence from the American Arctic Hz pedition, or Dr. Kane, bas been received for fifteen months, the dates of the last letters being July, 1853.
