My Little Danghter's Shoes.
Two little, rough-worn, stubbed shoes,
A plump, well-trodden pair ; With striped stockings thrust within,
Lie just beside my chair.
Of very homely fabric they ;
A hole is in each toe ; They might have cost, when they were new,
Some fifty cents or so.
And yet this little, worn-out pair
Is richer far to me. Than all the jeweled sandals are
Of Eastern luxury.
This mottled leather, cracked with use.
Is satin in my sight; These little tarnished buttons shine
With all a diamond's light.
Search through the wardrobe of the world !
You shall not find me there. So rarely made, so richly wrought.
So glorious a pair.
But why 7    Because they tell of her
Now sound asleep above. Whose form is moving beauty, and
Whose heart is beating love.
Thay tell me of her merry laugh ;
Her rich, -ivhole-hearled glee; Her gentleness, her innocence.
Her infant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my aid; For the old road of human life
Is very roughly laid.
High hills and swift descents abound;
And on so rude a way, feet that can wear these coverings
Would surely go nstroy.
Sweet little girl 1 be mine the task
Thy feeble steps to tend ; To be thy guide, thy counsellor.
Thy playmate and thy friend.
And when my steps shall faltering grow,
And thine be firm and strong. Thy strength shall lead my tottering age,
In cheerful peace along.
When I Mean to Many.
JOHN O. SAXE.
When do I mean to marry ?—Well—
'Tis idle to dispute with fate ; But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while I fii the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet, A mother's daily toil to share ;
Can make the puddings which Ihey cat. And mend the stockings which they wear.
When maidens look upon a man
As iu himself what they would marry.
And not as army soldiers scan A sutler or a commissar^-.
When gentle ladies who have got
The ofi'cr of a lover's hand, Cousent to share his "earthly lot,"
And do not mean bis lot of land.
When young mechanics are allowed To find and wed the farmer's girls,
Who don't expect to be endowed With rubies, diamonds and pearls.
When wives, iu short, shall freely give Their hearts and hands toaidtbeirspouses.
And live as they were wont to live. Within their sire's one story houses.
Then,madam,—if I'm nol too old— Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold. And look about me for a wife.

THE MILLER'S MAID.
The parish of New Abbey, in Kircud¬ bright, derives its name from a Cistercian Abbey founded in the be<:iniiiiig of the 13th century by Devorgilda, Devorgilla, or Donorguillii (for her name i.s very var¬ iously spelled,) daughter of Allan, Lord of Galloway; wife to Lord Bahol, Lord of Castle Bernard, and mother to John Baliol, King of Scotland.
The Abbey was at first called the Abbey of Sweetheart, from the heart of the hus¬ band of the fair founder having been em¬ balmed and placed in an ivory box bound with silver, which was built into the walls of the church near the altar. But the name was .afterwards altered to that of '•New Abbey."
The remains of the Abbey exhibit the relies of a beautiful lofty building of the light Gothic style of architecture. Its church is one hundred and uiuety-four feet long, one hundred and twenty feet broad at the cross, and sixty-six feet at tho ends, with a tower upwards of ninety feet high.
This structuie stands iu the middle ofa fine level field of about twenty .teres, called the Precinct, enclosed by a stone wall eight or ten feet high, built of granite stones of great size. Some of them, even near the top of the wall, seem to be no less than a ton weight.
There used to be, if there is not at the present day, a lonely mill close by the lit¬ tle picturesque monastery of Sweetsheart's Abbey; and this lonely mill is said to have been the scene of the following story, which, whether it be regarded as au in¬ stance of presence of mind in a female, or as a special interposition of Providence, is equally remarkable and worthy of atten¬ tion :
It was on a Suiidtiy morning, "ages long ago." that the miller of this mill and his whole family went forth to hear the holy mass, at the church attached to the Sweet¬ heart's -\bbey.
The mill—whieh was also his residence —was left in charge of a servant girl nam¬ ed .Jennie, a stout-hearted lass, who had long lived with him in that capacity. -\n infant child, of an age unfit for church, was left in her charge likewise.
The girl was busily employed in pre¬ paring the dinner, when who should en¬ ter but an old sweetheart of hers, named Rerriek Lochdee. Rerrick was an idle, shiftless fellow, whom the miller had for¬ bade the house; but whom Jennie only liked the better, because others gave him no countenance. She was glad to see him, and she told him so, and g-ave him some¬ thing to eat, and gossipped with hiji as he despatched the food she sat before him. As he ate, however, he let fall his knife.
"Pick up that, my hiss," said he, in a joking way to the good-natured girl.
She stooped down accordingly to pick up the knife.
As she was in the act of raising, how¬ ever, the treacherous villain caught her by the nape of her neck, and gripping her throat firmly with his fingers to prevent her screaming the while, drew a dagger from under his coat.
"Now, lass," he said swearing as he spoke, "where is your master's money ? I will have that or your life, so take your choice."
She impolred him not to make such a horrible resolution ; but "Master's money or your life, lass," was all he would say.
"Well, well, Rerriek," said she ; re¬ signedly, what is to be must be, but if you take the money, I will even go along with you. This will be no home for me any more. But cease your grip of my neck a little—don't squeeze   so   hard—I—can't
move—^you hug me so tight. Besides time presses, and if it be done at all it must be done quickly, for the household will soon be back.
The ruffian relaxed his grip, and finally I'et go his hold.
"Come," she said, "quick ! quick !—no delay. The money is in master's bed¬ room."
She led the way into her master's bed¬ room, and pointed out the coffer in which tie money was concealed. "Here," she Slid, reaching him an axe, "this will wrench it open at once, and I shall just s:ep up to my own apartment and get a fiw things re-ady for our flight."
"Go. liiss," he said, "but be  not long."
She disappeared at the words. -He immediately broke   open   the chest and began rummaging the contents.
While he was thus employed, the brave- hearted girl stole down tho stairs on tip- t«)e, and creeping softly along tho passage reached the door of the chamber unseen by him, and likewise unheard, securely fastening the door.
This done, she rushed forth to the out«r door of tbe mill and gave the alarm.
"Fly ! fly !" she shrieked to the child, her master's little boy. "Fly to father ! Fly on your life I Tell him we shall till be murdered, if he htisto nut back. Fly ! Fly !
The child at once obeyed the command of the girl, and sped as fast as his legs could carrj him on the road by which he knew his parents would return from church.
Jennie sat down on the stone bench by the mill door, to ease her over-excited spirit.
A shrill whistle from the grated window of the chamber in which she had shut up the ruSian Rerrick reached her ears.
"Robin! Robin !" she heard him shout, "catch the child and come hither ! Bring the child here, and kill the girl."
Jennie thought to herself that this al¬ arm w:is a false one, but just its the child reached a hollow in the next field—the channel of a natural drain—she sttw an¬ other ruffian start up, and catching him in his arms, hasten tow.irds the mill, in ac¬ cordance with the directions of his accom¬ plice.
In a moment she perceived her danger.
Retreating into the mill, she double locked and bolted, and then took her post at au upper casement.
She had scarcely time to secure herself within, when the ruUiau from without, holding the helpless child in one hand, and a long sharp knife in the other, assail¬ ed the door with kicks and curses of tlie most fearful character.
"Confound thee." he cried, "open tho door or I'll Tireak it on ye."
"If you can you may." was till the girl replied.
"Cut the brat's throat," roared the im¬ prisoned ruffian from above. 'That will bring her to reason."
'•An ye open not the door." shouted the villain from without, "I'll h.ick this whelp's limbs to pieces with my knife, and then burn the mill on your hev.d."
'•I put my trust in G.id," replied the girl. ••Never shall ye set foot within these walls whilst I have life to prevent ye."
The ruffian laid the infant for a moment on the sward, and searching about for combustibles, espied the only possible en¬ trance to the building.
It was a large aperture in the wall, com¬ municating with the great wheel and the other machinery of the mill, and was a point entirely unprotected, because it was never supposed by the simple occupants that iiny one would ever seek admission through such a diingerous inlet.
By this the ruffian hoped to effect an entrance.
All this was unseen by the  girl within.
In the meanwhile her mind was busied with a thousand cogitations.
Suddenly a thought struck her.
"It is Sunday," she stiid to herself. "The mill never works on the Sabbath. Suppose I set it going now. It can be seen afar off. And happily my master and some of his neighbors, wondering at the sight, may hasten home to learn the cause. A lucky thought," she exclaimed. " 'Tis God sent it to me."
No sooner said than done.
It was but the work ofa moment for her to set the machinery in motion.
A brisk breeze which sprang up at once set the sails flying.
The arms of the huge engine whirled round with fearful rapidity—tho great wheel slowly revolved on its axle—the smaller gear turned, and creaked and groaned according as they came in action —the mill was in full operatiiin.
At this very instant the ruffian Robin had succeeded in squeezing himself through the aperture in the wall, and getting safe¬ ly lodged in the interior of the gretit drum wheel.
His dismay was indescribable when he began to be whirled about with its rota¬ tion.
His cries were most appalling—his shrieks were truly fearful—his curses were horrible to hear.
Jennie hastened to the spot, and saw him caught like a reptile, that he was, in hia own trap.
It need not be added that she did not liberate him.
She knew that he would be more fright¬ ened than hui^t if he kept within his ro¬ tatory prison.
Meanwhile the wheel went round with its steady, unceasing motion; and round and round went the ruffian along with it, steadily and unceasing too. fluttering curses ; ho was whirled rouud and round in the untiring wheel, until at last feeling and perception failed him, and he heard no more.
-\ loud knock at the door was shortly after heard, and Jennie hastened thither.
It was her master and his family, ac¬ companied by several of his ieighbors.
The unaccustomed appearance of the mill sails iu full swing on Sunday had at¬ tracted their attention, and they hastened home from church to ascertain the cause.
Jennie, in a few words told all.
The machinery of the mill was also at once .stopped, and the inanimate ruffian dragged forth from the great wheel.
The other ruffian was brought down from his prison.
Both were bound, and sent off to the royal borough of Kircudbright, and in due time came under the hands of the town executioner.
It was not long till Jennie became a bride.
The bridegroom was the miller's son, who had loved her long and well but with a passion previously unrequited.
They lived henceforth happily together for many years, and died at a good old age, surrounded by a flourishing family.
In the latest hours of her life, the brave-hearted Jennie would shudder as she told the tale of ber danger and of her de¬ liverance.

Remarkable Dreams.
THE   DREAM    OF   LOLA   MONTF.Z.
Something over twenty years ago, the exploits of Lola Montez in different parts of the world, and particularly at the court of the old King of Bav.iria, were the theme of many a racy paragraph in the European and American newspapers. She was a woman of talent but an adventuress. She contracted a number of marriages, which were, of course, most unhappy; and she was continually in public quarrels with editors, and others. Among her qualities was great courage; and, in any case where sho considered herself wronged she took upon herself the vindication of her own cause, which was generally by the use of the cowhide. She became the fa¬ vorite of the King of Bavaria, and was created Countess of Landsfeldt The whole affair occasioned great scandal, and was one of the causes leading to the over¬ throw of the king in the European war of 1S48. At length Lola came to the United States, and took an engagement at the Broadwiiy Theatre, New York, as a dan- seues, and proved a failure. She also gave lectures. Seemingly filled with remorse for her past life, she became very penitent, and joined the Episcopal Church. Sink¬ ing into a decline, she finally passed away in death; and her lonely grave is to be found in Greenwood Cemetery.
Lola Montez was a person who scarcely passed a night without a dream; and she was a rigid believer in their influence. She often entertained her friends by the recital of them. Her fascinating conver¬ sational powers, and vivacity of spirits, imparted to these occasions the same won¬ derful interest that marked all intercourse with her. During her engagement at the Broadway Theatre, it was her custom to go into the "Green Room," where there was always a crowd of distinguished dra¬ matic, literary, and other personages in at¬ tendance to see her. Seated in the midst of them, she would pour forth a torrent of brilliant hinguage such as few are ca¬ pable of. She had traveled everywhere, and seen everything, and everybody; she was student of literature and the drama, and a connoisseur of art; and her views were expressed with eloquence, compre¬ hensiveness, humor, and wit.
One night she seemed depressed, and though ?he talked, it was evident that she was not in her usual flow of spirits.
A distinguished comedian, who was con¬ nected with the theatre, remarked :
•'Madam Lola is sad to-night?"
¦'Yes," she replied, as large glistening tears stood like diamonds upon her long black eyelashes. "Yes I am sad. Would you know the reason?"
"Most certainly."
"I must tell you that I am a firm be¬ liever in dreams. ¦ My happiest hours have been foretold to me in visions of the night, and now something of my closing career has been revealed to me. My dream was in regard to my last days ou earth. I dreamed that I should close both my pro¬ fessional and earthly career in this country. Here in a laud ot strangers am I to die ; here in this republic are my bones to de¬ cay. In my dream it was foretold to me that I would have sickness and poverty. Now I have hosts of friends, but then I will live obscure, and only a few kind souls will administer to me. When I am dead, the poor, neglected stranger will be put in a lonely grave and the world will remember her no more."
"Lola's voice faltered, and her ejes fill¬ ed with tears.
"This is horrible !" cried the comedian before referred/o. "Why 1 feel as if we were having a funeral right here in the green room of the Broadway Theatre. Tell us no more of thy dreams, good madam. 3Iy opinion of such matters are always loss of time to talk about; but I, especially denounce them when they bring sadness to the heart and tetirs to the eyes of the peerless JIadam Lola."
"Well, I will change the di.sagreeable subject," said Lola. ''But remem'oer, all of you.   what I have to-night  told you.
The last words were said   with marked It ivill surely come to pass !" emphasis  and   solemnity.    No  one  who heard them forgot them.
This dream changed the whole current of life of Lola Montez. It was not long before sh, became altogether a ilifferent woman. In her disposition, habits and associations there came a total change. She sought to live in a manner to obtain the respect ot the moral and pious, and won the few devoted friends who watched her decline and death. The dream,in the sequel, proved true in every particular.— .7. Alexander Parttn.in New York ]Yeel:ly.
How Old are You?
There is a good deal of amusement in the following magic table of figures. It will enable you to tell how old the young ladies are. Just hand this table to a young lady and request her to tell you in which column or columns her age is contained, add together the tigures at the top of the columns in which her age is found, and you have the great secret. Thus suppose her age to be seventeen, you will find that number in the first and fifth columns, and the first figures of these two columnsadded make seventeen.    Here is the miigic table:

Honor Your Business.
It is a good sign when a man is proud of his work or calling. Yet nothing is more common than to hear men finding fault continually with their particular bus¬ ines-, and deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood, In this spirit men fret, and laboriously destroy all their com¬ fort in the work ; or they change their bus¬ iness, and go on miserably, shilting from one thing to another, till the grave or poor- house gives them a fast grip. But while occasionally a man fails in life bee-ause he is not in the place fitted for his peculiar talent, it happens ten times oftener that failure results from neglect and even con¬ tempt ofan honest business. A man should put his heart into everything that he does. There is not a profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexations. No man will escape annoyance by changing business. No mechanical business is altogether agree¬ able. Commerce, in its endless varieties, is affected, like all other human pursuits, with trials, unwelcome duties and spirit- tiring necessities. It is the very wanton¬ ness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling, and give his mind every (lay to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding over them only gives them strength. On the other haud, a man has power given him to shed beauty and pleasure upon the homeliest toil, if he is wise. Let a man adopt his business and identify it with his life, and cover it with pleasant associations; for God has given us imagination, not alone to make some poets, but to enable all men to beautify homely things. Heart varnish will cover up in¬ numerable evils and defects. Look at the good thing. Accept your lot as a man does a piece of rugged ground, and begin to get out the rocks and roots, to deepen and mellow the soil, to enrich and plant it. There is something in the most forbidding avocation, around whieh a man may twine fancies, out of which a man may develop an honest pride.
What Women EeaUy Want.
In an article under the above news, in the New York Independent, Gail Ham¬ ilton says: Judging from what wo hear, oue would suppose that the graet and crying want of women is work, or, as it is some¬ times put, fair day's wages for a fair day's work; or, again, freedom to do whatever she is capable of doing. This is not so. What women want is not work; but the wages of work, not freedom to work, but freedom to receive money without working. There is plenty to do now; but they will not do it. They wish to live like women and be paid like men.        *        *        -i:
It has besn dinned and dinned into the e;ii-s of women that the place where they arc wanted is the kitchen ; but into the kitchen they will not go. They are sorely wanted in the sewing room; but the sewing room is to them an abomination.
Sick-nursing is an occupation the most honorable, important and remunerative The demand for nurses is constant and ur gent. * *  .    .   * *
I am amazed, I am indignant to hear this outcry for a wider sphere and greater opportunities for woman, while her sphere is already a thousand times wider than she spans, and her opportunities a thousand¬ fold greater than she has ever attempted to
Rich Without Money.
Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with nothing in their pocket, and thousands without even a pocket, are rich. A man born with a good sound constitution, a good stomach, a good heart and good limbs, and a pretty good head-piece, is rich. Good bones are better thau gold; tough muscles than silver, and nerves that flash fire and carry energy to every function are better than houses and land. It is better than a landed estate to have the right kind of a father and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men as really as among herds and horses. Education may do much to check evil ten¬ dencies or to develop good ones, but it is a great thing to inherit the right proportion of faculties to start wilh. The man is rich who has a good dispostion—who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a flavor of wit and fun in his (.'omposition. 'I'he hardest thing to get along with in this life is a man's own self. A cross, selfish fellow, a desponding and complaining fellow—a timid and care bur¬ dened man—these are all born deformed on the inside. Their feet may not limp, but their thoughts do.
Victims of Popular Nostrums.
The revelation of certain famous phy¬ sicians concerning the profuse and gener¬ al useof cosemcties andwashes of all kinds and their t-rrible effects are not yet for¬ gotten. A medical writer now gives simi¬ lar statements with reference to the use of a popular hair restorer. He has under his care a lady who has been paralyzed on the right side for nearly three years, and has beeen utterly helpless most of that time. "Her vision has been very imperfect; her knowledge of past events has utterly de¬ parted from her; recently she appears to be recovering her recollection, and can count with tolerable accuracy its high as tweuty." He attributes her prostration en¬ tirely to the use of a popular hair restorer. Of another lady he sayS"that for the past year her eyeshave been the seat of con¬ stant torture." The retina has become so sensitive to the light as to make a dark room indispensible. Wheels of burning flame revolve constantly before her eyes, attended by lightning-like flashes, which are terrible to bear. She is also a victim to the poisonous lead contained in the same popular nostrum.
A Sensible Young Man.
The latc Col. Colt was himself a practi¬ cal mechanic. By his will he left his neph¬ ew an immense fortune. At the time of his death the nephew was letirning his trade of m-ichinist in his uncle's shop, working diligently in his overalls by dtiy, subject to the sjmie rules as the other apprentices.— On his uncle's death he became a million¬ aire—but choosing a guardian to manage his property, he continued at his labor and served his apprenticeship. Now as he walks the room of his fine house, or drives his costly^team, he has a consciousness that if his riches take to themselves wings and fly away, he is furnished with the means of getting an honest livelihood, and may make a fortune for himself He was a "greasy mechanic" .ind is not ashamed of it again. Labor and its accompanying dirt are not dishonorable, or degrading—laziness and its idmost necessary evils are disgusting and destroying. Dirty handsand a sense of inde¬ pendence are to be preferred to kid gloves and a consciousness ofbeing a mere drone in the human hive. Tools rust from neglect— wear out from nse. Neglect is criminal—use is beneficial. So with men's capabilities— better wear them out than let them rust.

Ignorance of Mothers.
The care of the young ranks as one of the most important of all things to the state and the race, and one on whieh no pains bestowed could be too much. Yet how many mothers understand the management of the young in any scientific sense ? How many study the best modes of education, physical or moral, and bring their studies to good issue ? How many mothers will ever receive advice and not consider it in¬ terference in their own distinct domain ? and how many are there who so much as doubt that maternity of itself does not give wisdom, and that by the mere fact of moth¬ erhood a woman is fully capable of mana¬ ging her child without more teaching than that whieh she gets from instinct ? We give less thought, (nnt less love,) less stu¬ dy, less scientific method, to the manage¬ ment of our own young than to the train¬ ing of future race-horses or the development of the prize heifer on the farm. The wild¬ est ideas on food, the most injudicious fash¬ ions in dress, amusements which ruin both body and mind, such as ehildreu's evening parties, theatres, am. the like, make one often think that the last person to whom her children should be entrusted is the mother. .\dd to this a moral education, good or bad according to individual tem¬ perament an ignorance of physiological and hygenic, and the personal care of the little ones delegated to servants, and we have the base on which the modern nursery is con¬ structed. This delegation of the mother's duty to servants is as amazing in its con¬ travention of instinct as the revolt against maternity. Every woman sees how nurses treat the children of other mothers, and every mother trusts her own nurse impli¬ citly, aad gives into the hands of a coarse and ignorant woman, the temper, the health, the nerves, the earliest mental direction, and the consequent permanent bias of the future of her child, while perhaps she goes out on a crusade to help people who need example V-ather than assistance. This is no overcharged picture. The unscientific management of children, and the absolute surrender of them while young, and there¬ fore while most plastic, into the hands of servants, is too patent to be denied.—Mic- millan.
Sentiment.
George I). Prentice had been a constant drinker for forty ye.irs. For ten years he had been a drinker of the lignum vitse or¬ der. Hero is a temperance lecture from him :
¦' There are times when the pulse lies low in the bosom and beats low in the veins; a sleep the spirit sleeps, which, ap¬ parently knows no wakening, sleeps in its bosom of clay, and the windows are shut and the doors are hung iu the invisible crape of melancholy; when we wish the golden sunshine pitchy darkness, and wish to fancy clouds where no clouds are. This is a state of sickness when physic may be thrown to the dogs, for we wish none of it. What shall raise the spirit ? AVhat shall make the heart beat music again, and the pulses quiver through all the myriad- thronged halls of the house of life ? What shall make the sun kiss the hills again for us with all his awakening gladness, and the night overflow with moonlight, love and flowers ? Love itself is the greatest stimulant—the most intoxicating of all— and performs all these miracles; but it is not at the drug-store, whatever they say.— The counterfeit is iu the market, but the winged-god is not a money changer we as¬ sure you.
" >Ien have tried many things, yet they ask for stimulant. Men try to bury the floating dead of their own soul in the wine cup, but the corpse rises. Wo see their faces in the bubbles. The intoxication of drink sets the worltl whirling .igtiin, and the pulses to playing music, and the thoughts galloping, but the fast clocks run down sooner, and the unnatural stimulant only leaves the house with the wildest revelry more silent, more sad, more reserved, more dead.
" There is only one stimulant that never intoxicates. Duty. Duty puts a clear sky over man, into which the sky-lark. Happi¬ ness, always goes singing."
No Home.
No home. A\hat a misfortune ! How sad the thought I There are thousands who know nothing of the bles.sed influences of comfortable homes, merely because of a want of thrift, or from dissiptited habits.— Youth spent in frivolous amusements and demoralizing associations, leaving them at middle age, when the physical and intellec¬ tual man should be in its greatest vigor, enervated and without ono laudable ambi¬ tion. Friends long since Inst, confidence gone, and nothing to look to in old age but a mere toleration in the community whore they should be ornaments. No home to fly to when wearied with the struggles, inci¬ dent to life; no v.'ife to cheer them in their despondency ; no children to amuse them, and no virtuous household to give zest to the joys of life. -\11 is blank, and there is no hope or succor except that which is given out by the hands of private or public charities. AVhen the family of the indus¬ trious and sober citizen gather around the cheerful fire of a wintry day, the homeless man is seeking a shelter in the cells of a station-house, or begging for a night's rest in the out-building of one who started in life at the same time, with no greater ad¬ vantages ; but honesty and industry built up that home, while dissipation destroyed the other.
Beautiful Thought
There is but a breath of air and a beat of the heart between this world and the next. -\nd in the brief interval of a pain¬ ful and awful su.spense, while we feel death is with us, that we are powerless, and He all-powerful, and the last faint pulsation here is but a prelude of endless life here¬ after, we feel in the midst of the stunning calamity about to befall us, that earth has no compensating good to the severity of our loss. But there is no grief without some beneficent provisions to soften its intensi¬ ties. AVhen the good and lovely die, the memory of their gtwd deeds, like the moonbeams of the stormy sea, lights up our darkened hearts, and lends to the sur¬ roundings a beauty so sad, so sweet, that we would not, if we could, dispel the dark¬ ness that environs us.
A Happy Hcue.—Six things aro reqni- site to creatc'a happy home." Integrity must be the architect and tidiness the up¬ holsterer. It must be warmed by affection and lighted up with cheerfulness, and in¬ dustry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh sa¬ lubrity day by day; while over all, as fa protecting glory and canopy, nothing 'will suffice except the glory of God.
