One more extract from this charming vol
ume. Mothers, read it to your older children.
It will do them good. K
A Home Scene.
And now I shall not leevethis realm of boy
hood, or 6ufier my hero to.slipaway from this
gala time of life, without a fair look at. that
Home where his present pleasures lie, and
where all his dreams begin and end.
Little does the boy know, as the tide of
years drifts by, floating him out insensibly
from the haibor of his home, upon the great
sea of life what joys, what opportunities,
are slipping from him into the shades of that
inexorable Past, where no man can go, save
on the wings of his dreams. Little does he
think and God be praised, that the thought
does not sink deep lines in his young forehead!
as he leans upon the lap of his mother; with
his eye turned to her, in some earnest plead
ing for a fancied pleasure of the hour, or in
some important story of his griefs, that such
sharing of his sorrows, and such sympathy
with his wishes he will find no where again.
liittlc does he immagine, that the fond
Nelly, ever thoughtful of his pleasure, ever
smiling away his griefs will soon be beyond
the reach of either ; and that the waves of
the years which come rocking so gently
under him, will soon toss her far away, upon
the great swell of life.
But now, you are there. The fire-light
glimmers upon the walls of your cherished
home, like the Vestal fire of old upon the fig
ures of adoring virgins, or like the flame of
Hebrew sacrifice, whose incejise bore hearts
to Heaven. The big chair of your father is
drawn to its wanted corner by the chimney

yet subdued; her arm perhaps resting on your
shoulder, as she talks to you in tones of ten

The cat is purring on the hearth; the clock
that ticked so plainly when Charlie died, is
ticking on the tnantel still. The great ta-

Madge is there ; she has dropped in softly
with with her mother, and Nelly has wel
comed her with a bound, and with a kiss.
Jenny has not so rosy a. check as Madge.
But Jenny with her love notes, and her lan
guishing dark eye, you think of, as a lady ;
the thought of her constant drain upon your
sentiment. As for Madge that girl Madge,
whom you know so well you think of her as
a sister ; .and yet it is very odd you look
at her far oftener than you do at Nelly.
Frank too has come in to have a game with
Lyou at draughts; and he is in capital spirits,
all brisk and glowing with his evening's walk.
He bless his honest heart ! never observes
that you arrange the board very adroitly, so'
that you mar keep half an eye upon Madge,
as she sits yonder begide Nelly. Nor does
he once notice your blush, as you catch her
eyes, when she raises her head to fling back
the ringlet ; and then, with a sly look at you,
bends a most earnest gaze upon the board,
as if she were especially interested in the
disposition of the men.
You catch a little of the spirit of coquetry
yourself (what a native growth it is!) and
if she lift her eyes, when you are gazing at
her, you very suddenly divert your look to
the cat at her feet; and remark to your
friend Frank' in an easy, off-hand way how
the cat is lying.
And Frank turns thinking propably, if he
thinks at all about it, that cats are very apt
to lie still, when they sleep.
As for Nelly, half neglected by your thought,
as well as by your eye, while mischievous
looking Madge is sitting by her, you little
know as yet what kindness, what gentleness
you are careless of. Few loves in life, and
you will learn it before life is done, can bal-
ance the lost love of a sister. '
As for your parents, in the intervals of the
game, you listen dreamily to their talk with
the mother of Madge good Mrs. Boyne.
It floats over your mind, as you rest your chin
upon your clenched hand, like a strain of old
familiar music, a household strain,that seems
to belong to the habit of your ear, a strain
that will linger about it melodiously for many
years to come, a strain that will be recalled
long time hence, when life is earnest and its
. ?t . r i
cares neavy, wun tears oi regrei anu wun
sighs of bitterness.
B.v and by yur amo 18 done and other
games, in which join Nelly (the tears come
when you write her name, now !) and Madge
(the smiles come when you look on her then,)
stretch out that sweet eventide of Home, un
til the lap flickers, and you speak your friends
adieu. To Madge, it is said boldly a
boldness put on to conceal a little lurking
tremor ; but there is no tremor in the home
good-night.
Aye, my boy, kiss your mother kiss her
again ; fondle your sweet Nelly ; pass your
little hand through the gray locks of your
r. i .i i i . t i
mother and sister for these loves shall die.
Not indeed in thought : God be thanked !
Nor yet in tears for He is merciful ! But
they shall die as the leaves die die as Spring
dies into the heat and ripeness of Summer,
and as boyhood dies into the elasticity and
ambition of youth. Death, distance, and
time, shall each one of them dig graves for
your affections ; but this you do not know,
nor can know, until the story of your life is
! ended.
The dreams of riches, of love, of voyage,
of learning, that light up the boy-age with
splendor, will pass on and over into the hot
ter dreams of youth. Spring buds and bios

A Jdcar Uititicr.
Dear P. At the last "Hen Conven
tion" in our city, some six weeks since,
a mutual friend of ours, residing in the
suburbs of our metropolis, came to the
city in the morning to attend the " hen
fair," where he purchased a very large
and beautiful pair of Shanghai fowls, to
breed from; and as he was to remain in
town until evening, he sent t;he birds by
a boy, with a note to a friend of hi3, liv
ing at the Albion, requesting that he
would take charge of the chickens until
the afternoon, as he had some Shatters
t)f business that would detain him ; he al
so told the boy to say he would dine with
him at 4 o'clock.
The boy delivered the fowls, but forgot
the note, and simply remarked, "Here's
a pair of rousing big chickens Mr.
M ssent you, and says he will dine
with you at 4 o'clock."
The gentleman supposing his friend
(who, by the way, knows a hawk from a
handsaw, and a canvassback from a broil
ed owl)) had sent him something extra,
ordered them to be civen to the cook,
with directions that they be killed and
dressed at once, as he had a friend to
dine with him at 4 that P. M. The or
der was accordingly obeyed, and at the
appointed time the dinner served. After
imbibing sundry " wine bitters," as a
sharpener to their appetites, they sat
down, and the Shanghai owner was re
quested to carve; and as he was dissecting
these enormous " cute members of the
Hen Convention," he remarked to his
friend,
" You have an extraordinary fine pair
of chickens here ?"
" Yes," answered the other, "they are
an indifferently good sized pair of birds;
they were sent to me by a mutual friend
of ours. "
" Indeed, were they ? a devilish clever
fellow he must be, Jim ; a very pretty
present this, and I declare they are the
most delicious flavor I ever tasted, and
as juicy, too, as a canvass-back !"
And so he continued praising the rich
flavor of the chickens until! they had
taken care of a couple of bottles of
Schriedef ; and while chattering over
their bottle of sherry, and enjoying their
regalias, the owner of the Shanghais
said,
." By-the-bye, Jim, what do you think
of my hen purchase this morning!"
" Why, Bill, I think they were most
delicious, and wish you would dine with
me evary day in the week, if you will
send me such chickens."
" Such chickens !" screeched Bill, as
the thought flashed across bis mind that
he might possibly have been eating his
own Shanghais. " What the devil do
you mean if"
" Mean," replied Jim, " why, I mean
to say that you have dined off of those
chickens you sent me this morning I"
Bill instantly jumped up from the ta
ble, and rammed his hands up to his el
bows in his breeches pockets, and after
striding across the room some half dozen
times, without uttering a word, but his
eyes all the while with " fine frenzy rol
ling," stopped short, and turning to his
friend, exclaimed, with no little gesticu-lation-r-
"Good God, Jim! Ipaid Hiirtxj-five
dollars for tliatpairof fowls this morning!
Didn't that cussed boy give you a note
this morning when he left the chickens!"
" No," said Jim, " he gave me no note,
he simply handed me the Shanghais, and
said you would dine with me at four !
Therefore, I had them roasted !"
Bill instantly rushed for his horse and
wagon, and has not been seen in the city
but once since, and then he was closely
muffled up, and both ears stopped with
cotton, for fear he would hear some one
say Shangliai !
A few days since, while passing his re
sidence, I dropped in upon him for an
hour, and after a while ventured to touch,
upon the different breeds of poultry, but
at once discovered a witness about Bill's
eyes, therefore discontinued the topic.
When he said, imploringly,
" Old fellow ! don't "hit me now, I'm
down that cliickeu dinner lias never yet
digested !"

Cure for Tootli Aclic.
Two parts of brown sugar, two parts

twice with entire success on my own teeth.

Boundlessness of the Creation.
About the time of the invention of the
telescope, another instrumentwas formed,
which laid open a scene no less wonder
ful, and rewarded the inquisitive spirit
of man. This was the microscope. The
one led me to see a system in every star,
the other leads me to see a world in every
atom. The one taught me that this
mighty globe, with the whole burden of
its countries, is but a grain of sand on
the high field of immensity; the other
teaches me that every grain of sand may
harbor within it the tribes and families
of a busy population. The one told me
of the insignificancy of the world I frcad
upon. The other redeems it from all in
significancy ; for it tells me that in the
leaves of every forest, and in the flowers
of every garden, and in the waters of ev
ery rivulet, there are worM steemmg with
life, and numberless aB the glories of the
firmament. The one has suggested to
me, that beyond and above all that is
visible to man, there may be fields of
creation which sweep immeasurably along,
and carry the impress of tha Almighty s
hand to the remotest scenes of tho un
iverse ! the other suggests to me, tLat
within and beyond all that , roiuuten-s ,
which the unaided eye of man baa bcc
able to explore, there may be a lion
of invisibles ; and that could we draw a
side the mysterious curtain which shrouds
it from our senses, we might see a th atre
of as many wonders as astronomers have
unfolded, a universe within the compass
of a point so small as chides all the powers
of the microscope, but where the wonder
working God finds room for ail his at
tributes, where he can raise another
mechanism of world aud fill and animate
the evidence of his glory. Chalmers.
Cure for Deaf nest
M. S. W. Jewett, writing to the Boston
Cultivator says :
At about three years of age, a daught
er of the Hon. Daniel Baldwin, of Mont
peliar, became very deaf in both ears.
In conversation it was quite difficult to
make her hear and she continued in this
wretched state until about eighteen years
of age, when an Indian doctor chanced
to see her, who told the mother, Mrs. B.r
that the oil of onion and tobacco would
cure Iier if prepared as follows : Divide
an onion, and from the centre take out a
piece the size of a common walnut ; fill
