Make Homo Beautiful. ipawawBEi aMBTfir®, Counts Iludick and Amedy, both belonging lo old families of Hungary, were on terras of immediate friendship, which their long and important services had cementcd. They resolved to superadd the stronger lies of relationship by uniiing their children, who were then of about the same age.— Therefore Hadick, the sole heir to his illustrious house, was brought up with young Constance, who from her childhood, displayed as much beauty as goodness. At the age of fifteen, the feelings of those two persons were already what they wi re to he throughout their lives. The estates of the two magnates were in the same neighborhood. Constance, in attending the lessons of her young friend, easily Learned all those exercises which develop thegraces without detriment to beauty. They had also the some |.fission for music—a passion natural to the Hungarians. Throughout the country they were extolled as patterns of virtue; already did their parents think of fixing the period of their marriage,when war 4Droko out. It is a true index of the progress of our race, to observe the regard paid to homes, and it is a consoling reflection that its sanctity has attracted the attention it deserves. To be loved as it ought to be, to uwakvn tho ufTection home should inspire, it must be beautiful, and worthy of being cherished. When it is an easy thing to beautify and adorn home, is it not a matter of surprise that so little attention in this respect is given to it in many parts of our country ? Indeed, we may fear that this j neglect will become a "byword of reproach." It is a mistaken idea that home cannot be made beautiful, but by the costly exotics. Incentives of the highest characj tor are held out to induce men to plant and cultivate shade trees. No argument is needed to confirm the truth that shade trees promote health, that they are conducive to comfort and pleasure ; and lie is truly to be pitied who sees no beauty in trees, noth. ing nvijestic or grand in trees, Nature's waving, "frowning Titans." If more is required to induce the growing of trees and shrubs for shade and ornament, compare tho appearance of some of our villages, where, for near tho full circle of a mile, scarce a solitary tree intervenes its grateful shade to break the rays of a summer sun's roasting heat, or to invite tho cool,refreshing breeze : compare one of these,(for there are many such,) with the neat and pleasant town whose streets and squares a* tastelully planted with handsome elms, nmplesor locusts. Not only is the aspect of the latter more pleasing, or the effect more delightful, lifit it is the safest, criterion by which to judge of the virtue, refinement, and intellectual cultivation of its citiz.ens; for where Nature's beauties are cherished vice and sensuality cannot flour, ish. What is true of towns and villages, is pqually true relative to the homes of men, except the influence of the former is more general, while that of home, whether farm house or village residence, more directly affects the individual's family. There is no investment of labor or time that remunerates man with so much and healthful enjoyment, as that bestowed upon the cultivatinu of shade and ornamental trees and shrubbery. These make home beautiful ; beauty will endear it to his 8oul, and make it "part of him then in truth will it be his own 'sweet home," and his country— That apparitions do not fti about without sufficient cam by the well attested fact wl with the endorsement of t Transcript.

I cannot take thee with me, and leave thee in a world where good counsel is not superabundant. No one i.s born wise. Time and experience tench us to separate the grain from the chaff. I have seen more of th« world than you; it is not all gold, dear sou, that glitters, i have seen many a slfcr from Heaven fall, and many a staff on which men have leaned, break : there, fore I give this advice, the result of mv experience. Attach not thy heart to any transitory thing. The truth comes not to us dear son ; we must seek for it. That which you see, scrutinise carefully, and with regard to things unseen and eternal rely on God. Search no one so closely as thyself. Within us dwells the judge who never deceives, and whose voice is more to us than the applauses of the world, and more than all the wisdom of the Kgyptians and Greeks. Resolve, my son, to do nothing to which this voice is opposd.— When you think and project, strike on your forehead and ask for his counsel, lie speaks at first losv, and lisps as an innocent child ; but if you honor his influence, he gradually loosens his tongue and speaks more distinctly. Despise not any religion : it is easy to despise, but it is much better to understand. Uphold truth when thou canst, and be willing for her sake to be hated ; but know that thy individual cause is not cause of truth, and beware that they are not confounded. Do good for thy own satisfaction, and care not what follows. Cause no grey hairs to any one ; nevertheless, for the right even grey hairs are to be disgraced. Help and give willingly when thou has't and think no more of thyself for it, and if thou hast nothing, lit thy bunds be ready with a dri.uk ofcold water, and esteem thyself lor that no less, not always what thou knowest, but know always wlat thou sayest.— Not the apparent devout, but the truly devout man respect, and go in his ways.— A man who has the fear of God in his heart is like the suil that shines arm warms, though it does not speak. Do that which is worthy of rrcompfnce, and ask none.— Reflect daily upon death, and seek the life which is beyond with a cheerful courage, and further go not out of the world without having testified by somo good deed thy love and respect for the Author of Christianity. —Goelke.
