A sweet girl hung her head,
Her cheek blushed rosy Ted,
.And with tremulous tones she said—
(As she thought of her hero lover)
"Be will come to me, I know,
Ere the summez roses blow,
He will come in a month or so, •
When this cruel war is over.
"Soon, soon will the strife be past.!

TAe the most thorough man of the
world, of your acquaintance—the man
most perfectly versed in what goes on
in all ranks and conditions of life—who
knows when and for whet the world is
fighting, in this quarter and in that—
how it builds its ships, what it pays for
gold—how it tills its lields* smelts its
metals, coolis its food, and writes its
novels—and I ask you what would he be
%without his newspapers? By what pee-
Bible machinery could he learn, as he
sits at his breakfast, the last news from
China, of the last ballet at . Paris, the
state of The funds at San Francisco, the
winner at Newmarket, the pantomime
at the Olympic, the encyclical of the
Pope?
It is with tbe actual, passing, daily
arising incidents of life, a man ought to
be thoroughly acquainted, bringing to
their consideration all the aid his 'read
ing and reflection can supply; so that
he neither fall into a dogged incredulity
on one side, nor a fatal facility of belief
on the, other. In an age so , widely spec
ulative as the present, eager to inquire
and not overgiven to scrnple—such men
as these are invalutible to' society ; and
a whole corps ' of college professors
would. be less effective in dispelling, er
ror or asserting truth than =these piople
trained in all the daily press.
Without my newspaper, life would
narrow itself to the small limits of my
personal experience," and humanity be
compressed into the ten or fifteen people
I mix with. Now I refuse to accept
this. I have not a sixpence in consols,
but I want to know how they stand. I
was never—and am never likely to.be—
in Japan, but I have an intense curiosi
ty to know what our ,troops did at Yo
kohama: I deplore the people who ant
fared by the railroad smash ; and I
sympathize with the - newly married
couple so beautifully depicted in the
"lllustrated" as they drove •off in a,
'chaise and four. i like the letters of
the correspondents, with their little
grievances about nnpunetnal trains, or
some unwarrantable omissions in the
Liturgy. I even like the people who
chronicle the' rainfall, and record little
facts about the mildness of the season.
As_for the advertisements, I regard
them as the mirror of;the age. Show
me but one' age of the "wants" of any ,
country, and I 'engage'myself to give a
sketch of the current of the
period. What glimpses of rose interior
do wegain by those brief paragraphs
Heir full of suggestion and story _.they
are. Think of the- social at- -Chapman
that advertisedfor a lodger "that has a
good voice, and would appreciate the
domestic:life of-a retired family devoted
to music - and the 'fine arti." Imagine
the more exalted propriety of those who
want a "footman in a serious family,
;where there are means , of grace and a
'kitchen maid kept." Here a widow in
alllnent circumstances announces heviin-
J,ention to're:taarry. Here a naturalist
proposed his readiness to exchange bugs
and catterpillars with another devotee.

when you go .home'? There's the old

as if they was killin' kittens with e. brick

That's the way they keepagOin' on, rig

don't understand our complaint—they
can't understand a man that's lookin' lip
to better things. I tell you Billy, when
a feller's any sort of a feller, like you

Judging from :external appearances
alone, there is a possibility—nay a.pro
bability—that the crude philosophies of
Nicholas Nollikins, in regard to home
and its associations, are a tolerably faith
ful reflex of a condition that .pretty, ex
tensively pervades - the 'homes of buinan
society in - this our day. There seems
to a great lack of the love of home,
for its own sake, on the part of many ;
and this lack is doubtlese; on the one
part, the natural result of a greater lack
on the other part, in making heme an
attractive place, and more desirable
than any 'other in the world.
The greatest possible Mistake in this
respect is made by parents in the period
of , the-early youth - of their children.
'lnstead , of regardirig them as "a thought
-of God fixed in an 'eternal fo`rm," and
therefore tv blessing, they are too. often
ooked- upon as an incumbrance; as- in-
traders upon the selfish domains of their
parents; and therefore a curse. How
can a human offspring be' any otherwise.
than unfilial, and disobedient,and selfish,
whendt.is begotten. by parents in a men
tal state of wishing or desiring that such
offspring could-not, or 'would not; have
had a being ? That ruling affections
and desires , are transmisable from one
generation to antither, is just as natural
and inevitable , as•that an, effect follows
a cause. This is sometimes, but not al
ways, apparent ; because some persons
have such. a power of disguising: the in
tutor workings of their thoughts and
intentions, by the assumptiOn of a• be
coming and orderly exterior, that• they
do not appear otherwise than proper
models of - society—even Godserving
with their lips, when " their hearts are
far from him." In this manner the
child inherits, in the first place, but
feeble love of home, and in the , second
'place, that feeble spark , is never !amid
int° a flame, or is entirely extinguished
by selfish and inconsiderate` parents.
Many housewives—and frugal and indult
trious housewives too—administer the
affairs of their household in such a mane
ner as to indicate, that their own highest
conceptions of home is,, that it is only a,
place to eat and sleep in,.and therefore
it is of little Consequence, to add to its
attractiveness in - any other way. - These
are the fatal rocks upon which hive been
shipwrecked the•aspirations and hopes;
of what' might' haVe teen othertrise 'Many
a happy' family—many an orderly and
useful •citizenl—rdiny a social benefactor.
The mass'of . mankind' is - essentially pro.

the mind never manifests itself more

so susceptible to impressions made upon
it—impressions too, longest retained
and hardest to obliterate: If opportu
nities are not furnished .by parents- at'

city. It ie a great follylo call ao• attri
bute ours, unless we Can truly., and _sin
cerely call it ours from affection. There
are no doubt a . great many fathers and
mothers who take great credit for- mul
titudes of self-denials and sacrifices
made in behalf of their children, which
in the, end ~inay pro , re no, sacrifices or
self-deniala at all. In ,all this they, map
be but snbserying self, and assisting in.
building up a powerful and iricontrolable
selfhood in their offspring. As a gen-
era( thing, essaipte is a 'Tpre powedu
teacher than precept, and therefore the
most humble efforts to make home pleas
-ant, instructive, and harmonious-eB
pecially where those efforts ere founded
upon the,right•principles--will- have 'a
better effect thim the most imposing
precepts uttered from ,the rostrunt.Or
the pulpit. •
Every community has, no doubt, more
or. less "Billy Bunkers" and "Nichol
as Nollikins" among its population ;
made so, in many- instances, from 'the
want of early. home education—ditelop
ment of home feeling, and• the cultiva
tion of home affection; for after all, the
existence of these human attributes are
but thpresults'in' so me degree, of educa
tide. Not that education forms or cre
ates them, but that man at most is horn
with possibilities only, and 'the develop..
ment of these possibilities, is the result
of culture. there 'are allurements too,
outside of home and its influences, no
matterhow attrhctive' a right minded
parefritage may endeavor to make it;
and . these rilluring influences in time
may alienate the affections, more or less,
of the : bast intentioned. Bat to . win
them back to their domestic love again
it will never advance the end we desire,
by dealing in reflections i ;innendoes and
vituperations. If the heart is unstrung
we must tune it by,an amiable and affec
tionate demeanor, for there is a cord in
the heart ofthe most hardened or.aban
'dolled being, that will. always vibrate to
the voice of simple kindness. •
