had Occupied in the country. Re saw
his mistake, but, was too proud to go

' Of course I can't have as ,good ac

he said, I big; it is soMething to live in

A pectiliar tree, called the tallow
tree ; grows in China, the fruit of which
contains a seed covered with a . white,
solid, fatty matter, which the natives
convertinto candles. It is proposed to
introduce these trees into South Caro
lina, the south of France, and Algeria,
where there is every prospect of its .be
ing successfully cultivated. In China
it. forms vast forests, and - gives rise to
a considEjrable branch of local com
merce. The Government of British
India has introduced it throughout the
different regions of the Peninitila, it
now being .ascertained that it grows
equally as well in the Punjaub and the
northweFit providence as in China.
The fatty matter produced by the tree
favorably compares with the finest tal
low,-and, when manufactured into can
dles, burns with a clear, white flame of
great brilliancy, and emits neither
smoke nor dissagreeable odor.

'BUY ZONES.
The loye of the soil is moot the most
common passions 1:)f humanity. "ro , . -
°Wu even a thirty foot lot, is the Muhl-
Mu of the - poorest; and the rich are
never satisfied except they can sleep In
a grand mansion. Except among the
class of young sports, whose' wild oats
require a deal of sowing, there are but
few of our citizens who don't gratify
their desire for holding real , estate by ‘,
buying a little plot with a l eottage upon
it as soon as pessible,f and then and
there anchor, settle doWn, and spend
their, leisure moments in beautifying
and improving it.
Everybody knows there's no place '
like-horne, and so everybody with any
sense tries to establish a home as soon
as money can be earned to buy it; and
we count among the actual, and by no
means slight benefactors of the race,
the capitalists who sell on easy terms,
and hold the burden of homes until the
purchasers,can pay for them. The sa
vings banks are also doing a great deal
in this direction, and many a poor man
can thank them, not only for the priti
lege of having
~ ,a roof above his head,
but for the happiness which comes from
the pure enjoyrhent of a home.
A nation of happy homes is sure of
its foundations, and need not fear that
domestic, broils will break it asunder.—
At least half of i pie disgracefully long
calendars of Chicago, Indiana and Con
necticut divorce courts, come from the
people who, like the M'Farlands, drift
around the world from' boarding, house
to hotel, and find their conjugal felicity
very thin, when spread- over so, much
surface. 1
It As then the best thing a young con-
ple can do, to stop their billing and coo
ing at arm's length and settle down in
a cozy little house, paid for, if possible,
but bought any way, even if there has
to be a Mortgage. It is one of the best
preservatives of love known—for con- i
jugal affection &Melt away as easily
when exposed to public criticism, as a
love letter excites laughter in a court

WINE i ORE TO BE DREADED THAN
)Aprrzo .7-An eminent New England
orator r • ently said in a public address :
" I knew* soldier in the army of the
Potomac, who was picked up in the
stre4ts of Philadelphia, one year ago, a
confirmed inebriate, but -who was, by
the love ,of a sister of charity of a Bea
ton home, placed once , snore upon his
feet. He was at Ball's Bluff, and three
times, with unloaded musket, charged
upon the enetr2r., He was one of i the
six who heroically defended and bio't
am;ay Ole body' of the fallen leader of
that Weedy light. The captain of the
company,to which he belonged died in
his arms, receiving The last words df
consolation from his lips. He was af
terward' conspicuous in the conflict, un--
til orders were given for each one to
seek hi ;own safety. Removing some
of his aPParel, he plunged into the in
hospitable river, and after- great exer
tion landed on the opposite bank, seve
ral miles below the encampment. Half
clad, half starved, nearly exhausted, he
finally reached the camp. The captain
'of the next company to which he bed
longed kindly said to him, pouring out .
a glass of wine, 'Let me give you this ;
you wilt perish without it.' I thank
you, sir,' . said the soldier, but I would
sooner faco all the cannon of the ene
my than that glass 9f wine.} ii
THE GREAT ArY4TERY.—The body is
to die: No one who, passes the charmed
bopndary conies back to tell. The im
agination visits the land of shadows=
sent out from the window of the soul
over life's restiesS „waters, --but wings
its way wearily hack, as a token of.
emerging life beyond the closely bend-
ing horizon. The great sun comes and
goes in the heaVens, yet breathes no se-,
cret of the etherial• wilderness• The
crescent moon cleaves her nightly pas
sages across the upper field, but, tosses
overboard no s sigtialg. The sentinel
stars challenge each other
,as they walk
their nightly rounds, but we catch no
syllable of their countersign which .
gives passage to the ,heavenly camp.—
Between this and the other life there
ids a great gulf fixed', across which, nei
ther feet nor eye can travel. The gen
tie friend whose eyes ,Were closed in
their last sleep long years ago, died'with
rapture in her wonder stricken eies, a
smile ;of ineflitble joy upon her lips,
And . hands folded over a triumphant
heart - ;—but her lips were past speech,
and intimated nothing 'of the vision
that enthralled her. —Ex,

THE WAY ?70 BLANKET HORSES.-
Those parts of the body Of a horse
which Surround the lungs, require the
benefit Of a blanket in preference to his
flanks and rump. When we are ex
posed to a current of cold air;• to guard
against any injury from contracting
cold, we shield our shoulders, neck,
chest and back. I f these parts be pro
tected, the lower part of the body will
endure a degree of cold far more
without any injury, to the body, than if
the lungs were not kept warm. The
same thing holds good in the protection
of horses. The blanket should cover
the neck, withers and shoulders, and.
be brought around the breast sand but
toned together• as closely as 'a
nian but
tons his overcoat when abont _to face a
driving storm. Let the lungs of a horse
be kept well protecited with a heavy
blanket, and he will seldom, contract a
cold, even if the\ hindmost parts of the
body are not covered.—.6,larmer.
