MANN: Of all the spots on earth the dearest; t And among all tho'ts the.neareat; • As thro' this cold, wide world we roam Are the thols that gently guide. • !Ts thro' this world of wicked' pride, To our own beloved home. I Since my heart has tasted sorrow, "' It lingers oft for the bright'to-morrow, And turns away to sadly moan ;, - "Ot. all' the, dreank that please Jae best, That seem alone, by heaven blest, Are bonnie dreams of home, sweet home." And then I. sleep to dream again,l And see a form just oow—and then • The figure vanishes sad and alone ; And atilt gently passes by,, It stops to breathe another sigh, • And sweetly whispers "my boy come home." - Yes, dear mother, we'll meet once more, Be it on earth, or the golden shore, Where angel spir s its long since haie flown, But. when I'll be, . 9.h none can tell, Pll lice , to die whtni"all is well," -~ Arid 31 , 01' meet again in our heavenly home. I, 4 , (F l or the DXlllOOakT.) FARM' - FOn SALE ! A sweet borne place, and 1 turned to look again. An old farm pottage among the trees, the hazy hush of a summer afternoon ever all, the golden sunlight drift ing through the leaves, resting in gleaming i) tches on the 'grass and blossoming clover, tOsslng the shadOwa hither atA thither a sweet voiced bird chirped in the maple, by tbe gate, and the dancing footsteps of a little,stream left ,a gleaming Ape across the low green meadow.. . • A beautiful home fa.. l t.m. "Farm for Sale." 7--- There were the words in rough chalk letters, above the gate , Why sell the farm?. Have -hands grown tir ed of plough, and sickle,' and hue, hearts wear ied with oft-returning seektime, andliarvestl Have visions of yellow gold, and the. world's pioud . showl• shadowed with theli delusive wings the simple hopes, the every day happi- ness which blessed at the little farm ? ifave dancing feet that made the music ,straye,cl4. into life, and One by ode passed out at the little, gate, to come again, no more as of Old f- alia s even the baby—the, last larlii*-t_ ,the womanhood.upon - her bro w, and taken the blessing of her love to adorn And other hume, yet leaving the, old house so very._ desolate, with only. the haunting memory pac ing up , and 'down through the' lonely aisles of the heart? :Is ,there a graVe that Death has cut 'deep down through the hlossoming sckd, so chill, so dark, that from its , shadow your heart can he lifted never. more ? pas she—the dear est, moat blessed—even the home mether, lain down 'to rest ? Is - it thy desolation, oh`! Dcathl that has c'ompelled the "Ann for Sale ?" Ah.l how many "Farm for Sale ;" and with what longings will, hearts that go' out from these farm homes crowned with joy, turn back from the sUnunit of - many years to look upon the dead face of that old time joyousness; Won— dering that never more is the sky so blue, nev er sunshine so pigeons, as before the farm was for sale. 1 How Will the tired 'feet pause 'mid the dust• of life's bightsy, asking to press the Whisper: ing grass beneath the locusts, and hands hard with counting gold pine to pull again the vio lets down by -the valley spring ! How will heads, girdle& by thorus of care, rest again in dreams on thcl i lsoft moss, swept Co oft by child curls in the lohg ago, and hearts, weary hearts, will Pause the great world strife to catch again the far-off laughter f of those' waters in the meadow, and the Singing of the birds in the maples. f , And how grow tear-aimmed in this in seeing, as a vision sweepsc - by; revealing above the little gate, "Farm'for.Sale LACE INDUSIitIES OF EUROPE. From the fourteenth' to the - eighteenth centu- - ry the art of lace-making mntinned to increase and spread in all the countries of Europe: It would be impossible to enumerate all the dif ferent-points that - are spken of •in , the 4isto.• ries 0f bee that have frtom time to time been written, or that occur in , the inventories and wardrobe accounts of kings and queens, priests and prelates, in those five centuries; ), Every country .ot Europe--nay, every tion of the vruicius countries—had its particu lar point. This is measureably thescase at the present day.' The lacer industries ett :E urope form no small item i rn the revenues o fthose nations. In spite of the inventions m the wig of machineries that weave , imitations of every old or new point, thousands of women and children earn their livelihood by the manufac ture of needle or pillow lfiCt (hand-made,)work ing mostly in their o*it cottages, in the open • air, or at the windows, on the flowers or de signs winch- , are generally' given out to them from the central manufactory, where the de signing is done, and wherei thel Whole is put to gether by "bride" or firespau" workers after the outside tower-workers ifave finished their part It is estimated that there are 500,000 lace. workers, mostly women and children, in Europe, of whom , nearly one half , are employ ed in France. A.LISCPAP all of these lace-workers perform their labor at their own homes. In Belgium where there' re 900 hie. schools,Many 01 which are in convents,' there are .no less than 150,000 women engaged In lace-making.- , - In Auvergne, in Franot, Uwe are 180000 thus, elnPloYe4, most whom work in , thelr homes in the eniriions W)Adb+ w* ,One of WAIF. the earliest centres; of this industry, and where it still continues to flourish. • • •En gland produces a large quantitY of pillow lace. Very .beautiful specimens of the laces of Iledford, Wiltshire, Dorset, Northampton, Buckinghamshire and Devonshire are given. in Madame Palisser's Hisfory of Lace ; but the principal lace-producing town of England is Honiton, in Devonshire. Honiton is the best known of the nglish laces' on this side of tke Atlantic. • This lace wastiought into modern notice hnd made fashionable by Queen It icto ria, who, commiserating , the condition of the lace-workers of Devonshire, and -wishing to bring their work into demand, ordered her wedding dress of it. Her two daughters and the Princessnf Wales following her example, by ordering their wedding dresses also of Hon iton, have tnade it a fashionable and expensive lace ever since. IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP: The cry for rest has aliays been louder than the cri for food ; net that it is more important but because it is oit en harder to set. The - best rest comes from Sound sleep. Of two men or women, otherwise equal, the one Who sleeps the best will also, as a general rule, be the moat moral, healthy and efficient. \ Steep 'will do much, to cure irritability of temper, , peevishness, uneasiness. It will cure insanity. It will restore to vigor an over-work ed brain. It will build up and . make 'strong a 'weary body. It will do much ,to cure dyspep sia. It will relieve the languor and prostration felt by consumptives. It will cure a broken spirit. ,It will cure. sorrow. Indeed we might make a long list of nervous maladies that sleep will cure. . The cure for sleeplessness, however, is not so easy, particularly those who carry heavy re sponsibilities. The habit of sleeping well is one whit'', if broken up fc.r any length of time, is not easily regained. Often a severe illness, treated - by . powerful .drugs, so deranges the nervous system, that sleep is never sleep—is never sweet afterwards. ' Or, perhaps, long continued watchfulness will produce the Arne effect. Or hard study, or too little exercise of the muscular system, or tea . and spirit drink ing, and 'tobacco using. ' To wire sleeplessness,the following essentials are required , . • let. A good clean bed. , 2d.'

A STIMULATING PLANT. When the Spaniards invaded Peru, more than three,centuries ago, they • found a plant called caca, held in high esteem by the natives. It is held in the same esteem• to •day by the de. scendants of the •ancient Peruvians, though the Spaniards have never learned its value by. their own expeilence. Whenever the natives expect to encounter severe hardships, or =to undertSke a long and wearisome journey they mix some of the leaves of the caea plant with a little wine: This mix ture they chew from time to time, and require no other toad. They say it gives them strength and courace, and power of• endurance r such as no other tdod can give. • It seems curious that such '.belief, tested by constant practice, should have endured for three centuries, if the plant has no nutritive power! On the other hand, it is equally curi ous that the Spaniards and other foreigners find 110 special benefit from it. They think it has a little stimulating power, similar, though much less in degree, to` that of intoxicating drinks, but destroys the appetite, disturbs the nerves, and gives no strength to the system.— But the natives will go on a hard journey for a 'week, living only on the leaves of the ma plant, Experiments to ascertain the value of the . plant:as a stimulant have recently been made in England. The.results arc not satisfactory, though it is declared that its habitual 'use luny be productive of disastrous effects. A SHEET OF PAPER Ii is curious to reflect; says the Boston Ragle, I upon what issues a sheet of paper may be put to.. It lies'betore you in a state of virgin odd ty, , and its utmost value is a _cent. It is scrol led over 'with pol, hooks and hangersot few '"promises to pay," are written on it, sod it be comes good fur thousands of dollars.

To benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, I will make mention also of the Vege tine's wonderful power-of curing me of this acute com plaint, of which I have suffered - so intensely. . C. H.
