The light of Home I bow bright It beams
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far it gleams
To love, and rest, and comfort, all ;
When wearied with the toils of day,
And strife for glory, gold and fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way, •
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at hams I i
When through the dark and stormy night
The iarrard wanderer homeward flies,
How cheering that twining light
That through the forest gloom he spies f j
It Is the light of haute. lie feels
That loving hearts will greet him there;
And sottly through his bosom steals
The joy and lore that banish care
Around the light at home!
IT2 00
The light at borne ! how still and sweet
It peeps from yonder cottage door—
The weary laborer to greet—
When the rough toils of day are o'er
Sad Is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheering hopes and joys that tlow,
And lighten up the heal tel.t heart
Around the light at honor !

Once upon a time a traveler stepitad
into a stage coach. He was a young
man starting in life. He found six pas
'stingers about him. They were all gray
headed and extremely aged men. Tho
youngest appeared to have seen at least
eighty winters. Our young traveler,
struck with the singularly mild and I
happy aspect which distinguished his
fellow passengers, determined to ascer
tain the secret of a long life and art of
making old ago oomfortable; he ad
dressed the one apparently the oldest; 1
wbo told him that be had always led a (
regular and abstemious life, eating vege
tables
and drinking water. The young
man was rather daunted at this, inas
much as he liked the good things of this'
life. lie addressed the second, who as
tounded him bg saying that he had al
' ways eaten roast beef, and gone to bed
regularly fuddled fur the last seventy
I yearn, adding, that all depends on reg
ularity. Tho third had prolonged his
days by never seeking or accepting
office; the fourth by resolutely abstain
ing from all politic:ll or religious con
-1 troversies, and the fifth by going to bed
at sunset and rising at dawn. The
sixth was apparently much younger
than the other five, his hair was less
gray, uud there were more of it—a pla
ted smile, denoting a perfectly easy con
science, mantled his face, and his voice
was jocund and strong. They were all
surprised to learn Out ha was by ten
years the oldest man in the coach.
" How," exclaimed our young travel.
er, "how is it you have thus prusorved
the freshness of life t"
The old i s rontlemaa immediately an
swered the young traveler by saying :
"1 have drunk water and drunk wine,
I hare eaten meat and vegetables—l
have dabbled in polities and written re
ligious pamphlets---I have sometimes
goao to bed at atWeight; and got up at
sunrise and at noon j" he then extxl hit
eyes Intently upon the young man, con
cluding with the singular remark—"bet
I always paid promptly fur mg aciospit

A Fat Coapk.—Tho Easton Express

A Alagnificent Betel.—Tito most mag
nificent hotel in tho country, the "Con
tinental," in Philadelphia, has just been
finished, and thrown open for the in
spection of the stockholders. The

science can supply for tho convenience
of its occupants ;*is magnificently furn
ished, and contains accommodations for
one thousand pemons. It has been
rented to Paran Stevens, for a term of

Splendid Dress, —From an . English
paper's correspondence we learn that,
at Calcutta, ■t the Governor General's
ball, a beauty appeared who wits not
"put out," though apparently on fire.
In countless diminutive bags of gauze,
she had imprisoned fire flies, and these,
tacked on to her dross, far outshone
the diamonds of the Oriential ladies.—
As she walked in the more dimly light
ed alloys of the garden and grounds She
was indeed a most brilliant belle I
Good Skating.—A fifteen mile skat
ing match took place at Portsmouth,
N. U., on Thursday. James Ayres
made the distanee in 47 minutes, Geo.
W. Marston in 47.0, and Jacob Had
dock in 50 minutes. Ayers and Mars
ton each skated one mile in 2.20--
which is within a quarter of a second of
Flora Temple's best time.
A Curious Idea.—A rich miser in Au
burn, N. Y., has made arrangements to
be buried in Owasco Lako, a beautiful
shoot of water near that town. He has
a awns man made which takes twelve

is to take him to the middle of the bite

"Grand spec, aint sho ?" " Well, yes,

" P'rhaps so; she has more capacity
than her owners, and ought to pay
well, for she has done nothing but pay
out, yet." " Where will you sea such
a splendid gilt, saloon as that of horn ?"
Well, the house of Lords and the

Badly Sold.—A little affair happened
the other day, not a thousand miles
from this place, which is too good tube
lost. Mr. A. called on ono of oar farm
ers, and asked him the price of oats,
and was informed that they were worth
85 coats per bu‘hol. no agreed to pay
40 tents en oondition that lie should be
permitted to tramp them in the half
bushel. To secure tho bargain he paid
for twelve bushels, and the next day
took his wagon and went alter thorn.—
The farmer tilled the half bushel, alter
which Ur. A. got in and gave them a
most rigerons tramping, continuing
their proportions considerably. Tho
farmer thereupon emptied the oats into
the bag without filling op tho measure.
Mr. Ir. raved, bat it was no use, the
farmer had complied with his part of
the agreement, and, as au evidence,
told Mr. A. after he had measured the
oats, he might tramp them all day.—

Jeffers)* Territory.—lt is announced

and designated as Jefferson Territory,
signed by eleven thousand Pike's Perk

tion to Kansas. Kansas, with its pres
ent boundaries, contains in the neigh
borhood of a hundred thousand square
miles, making it nearly as largo as
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York to
gether. A desert waste, a hundred
miles wide, divides Pike's Peak from
Kansas, and forms a natural boundary.
Those who oppose annexation aver that
the expenses of mileage olGorernment

consummated, would alone amount to

sir t is a curious fact, not generally
known, that New Jersey has u fugitive
slave law of her own enacted in 1793
and reenacted with modifications in
1886 and 1846. The alavehokier or his
agent can apply to a Common Pleas
Judge, and the arrest will be made by
the sheriff, and the gnestion of proper.
ty decided by three judges. This law is
in accordance with that interpretation
of the federal constitution which makes
the restoration of fugitive slaves the
duly of the States. New Jersey has
also a law authorizing a slavcholder to
take his slaves through the State, and
to make a temporary residence with
them.
llernumors are rife in Jersey City of
outrages of a most. revolting kind being
committed at the Now York Bay Cem
etery. The practice, as far as develop
ed, seems to be to place a number of
coffins in a vault, until some ten or a
dozen have accumulated--(handsome
and expensive coffins being bought and
paid for by the surviving friends of the
deputed)—and subsequently to remove
the bodies, which are then huddled
promiscuously together in a pine box
sad buried by wholesale—the more ex
pensive calm being taken back by the
undertekets and sold again. It is un

The Speaker.
Mr. Pennington haying never been in
Congress before this session is sorely
perßlexed in pmerving order and ad
ministering rules in that unruly body.
Ths Washington correspondent of die
Missouri Bepu4lican gives the following
account of his troubles, and of the
youthful prompter who stands at his
elbow : •
" It is a singular faetthat the Repnb
!lean party are, unintentionally, no
doubt, constantly embarrassing the
Speaker by their squabbles uinorg
themselves as to who shall be the ' lea
der' on the floor. Messrs. Sherman,
Grow, Israel Washburn, Jr. Stanton,
Colfax and others, are frequently all
speaking at the same moment, when
some one or two from the Democratic
side come to the relief of the Speaker,
and by a clear statement of the point at
issue in a few words, they enable him
to come to a conclusion as to what
course ho should pursue. The tenden- ,
cy of such a state of things will be to
induce.the Speaker to look to the Dem
ocratic lido for ussirtance whenever
bothered, and I predict that before the
present session closes, Mr. Pennington,
like Mr. Speaker Banks, will be under
Democratic influence in all his rulings.
Ho secs they afro the best and safest
parliamentarians, and desiring truth he
turns to that quarter for aid.
" At present, the mainstay of Speaker
Pennington is the young page who
stands upon his right, a South of fine
appearance and something near eigh
teen years of ago. This page was first
appointed to office by Speaker Boyd,
and has ever since continued to dis
charge the duties of 'Page to the Spea
ker ' among which is now reckoned the
duty of prompting the Speaker in the
discharge of his official business. Ile
stands near the Speaker and directs
him in an under tone how to put every
motion and how to decide points of or
der as they arise. Thaddeus, is known
to all the politicians of the country, as
the most remarkable parliamentarian of
his ago living. With the construction
of the rules of order, ho is perfectly
familiar, and every precedent ho has at
his fingers' ends. With such a promp
ter, Mr. Pennington could not wolf avoid
making a pretty respectable Speaker,
' ifthu members would only be considerate
enough to observe the rules themselves."
Lowering their Flag.
Mr. Fessonden, of Maine, in his speech
in reply to Mr. Douglas, said : •
" That - wo were opposed to the ex
tension of slavery over free territory,
that we call it a relic of barbarism , I ad
mit but Ido deny that the kepblican
party, or the Republicans .generally, have
ever exhibited a desire or made a move
ment towards interfering with the rights of
Southern men, in the States, or any con
stitutional rights that they have any
where. That is the charge I made."
Mr. Douglas replied :
g. For what purpose does tho Repub
lican party appeal to Nor thorn passions
and Northern prejudices ao b minst South
ern institutions and the Southern peo
ple, unless it is to operate upon those
institutions? They represent Southern
institutions as no bettor than polygamy
—the slaveholder as no bettor than a
polygamist—and complain that we
should intimate that they did not like
to associate with the sluvolwider any
better than with tho polygamist. Ivan
see a monstrous lowering of the flag. I
would respect the concession, if the fact
was acknowledged."
Tliree„Rousing Cheers for the Union.—
'lt is curious to see with what facility
the Republican leaders are changing
front on the slavery question—aro be
coming
the real and veritable Union
savers. It was only the other day that
an assemblage which met in Connecti
cut. to chose delegates to the Chicago
Convention, to iitiOitanate SEWARD, or
some other "higher law" champion as
a candidate for President, passed a
resolution to the effect that they were
prepared to defend the South against
invasions like those of Joan BaowN into
Virginia, and afterwards adjourned (so
the to lie-graph told as) with rousing
cheers for the Union ! " Jost' think of
' that, Master Brooks I" -Three rousing
cheers for the Union, by men met toge
ther to send delegates to a Convention
where one-half of the Union will not be
represented, and to nominate a candidate
who will not get a vote south of Mason
and Dixon's line 1 Three rowing cheers
for the Union, the very men who furnish
ed the arms to, and drove John Brown
ea to destraction, and who denounce
the Union a as a league with Death
and a covenant with Hell!" Is this
not decidedly rich? It is well we have
them on, the inexorable record--they
have made it for themselves, and they
shall be held up u 4 hissing and a re
proach before the world I—gni" Obser

sion, no threats moved the magistrate.
Covode and Potter were at their wit's

to address the Mayor, represent -that

NO. 20.
dikr - In the Supreme Court at Pitts
burg, Pa., it has lately been decided
that a I9ss by the stealing of goods that
are insured at a fire in a city, is recov
erable against an insurance oorapany
as a lose occasioned by ere. A fire poll
therefore, not only covers losses by
the removal of goods from a building
actually on fire, although the geode
may not have been burnt, but In fact,
aro injured by water or by breakage in
the act of saving, bat also all goods lost
or stolen in consequence of such re
moval.
To Keep Potatoes from Sprouting.—To
keep potatoes intended for tbo use of
the table for spring until now potatoes
grow, take boiling water, pour it into a
tub, turn in as many potatoes as the
water will corer, pour off the Water,
handle the potatoes carefully, laying
up in a dry placo on boards only one
layer deep, and see if you do not byre
good potatoes the year round, without
strings and water ends caused by grow
ing. Tho neighbor I got my informa
tion from says he has never failed, or
had any trouble from rotting or sprout
ing. Try a few.
Plaster.—Tbo late Jesse Bad, in tbo
cultivator for 1837, said : «It it gener
ally conceded, that, upon pores and dry
soils„ plaster does benefit clover, Born,
potatoes yeas, and generally all plan
having broad and succulent leaves. it
it is a matter of doubt, at least in our
minds, • wtiether isa appliciaion is di
rectly beneficial to timothy, wheat,
rye, or barley." Subsequent experi
ence, wo think, confirms these opinions.

day. This was replaced by 110 lbs. of
bay and the same of cut -straw, the
sheep being watered over night with
83 gallows of water, in which If lbs. of
