In a irue home the whole house ought to belong to the f.imily, and be occupied by them. There ou«ht to be spare chambers for lhe guests, and room for hospitality, hut there should he no shut chambers or shut parlors, sequestered from all domes tic use. r l here should he no mys teries in the home, no place of ora cle there. Every part of the house, from the cellar to the garret, should be open and known, not only lighted and ventilated, but visited, too, by every member of the household.-— In a real home the ftmily always use the best part of their house, and live in the whole of it. They go in at the front door, as well as at the back ; door they go up the wide staircase, as well as by the narrow staircase, and they use the soft cushions, the damask and the vel vet, as well as the cane seat and the straw matting. In a genuine house no part or appendage ot’ the house ought to be too good for those who are members of the family, li is well in the home that each member should have his own retreat, his own chamber, the daughters and the sons and the servants, but not well that there should be no feeling ot common right in the house. And a good home is not within the walls of the house. The first home of the first family was -jot in a house at all, but in a garden. To realize the home now, there ought to be a garden attached to it, some spaceopen to the sky in which green things and bright things may grow, and the family may enjoy God’s sun light together. Some kind of a gar den every true home ought to have, a clear space in front or in rear or around. Every well ordered home will have a library. Until this in some form comes into the house, it has not the right to be called more than a lodging-house, or au eating-house, however sumptuously it may be fur nislied. How many books are ne cessary to make a library we .-hall not venture to say, or whether the old Puritan measure ot ihe Bible, lt>»- dictionary and ihe spelling-book is to be taken as the unii, or rather Trinity in Unity. B >ok- enough to meet the ordinary need.- ot inter course and conversation and refer ence, “the standard works,’’ enough to give the impression ot culture and intelligence ; home oust have these, even li it has to spare some physi cal comforts to get them. Books in the house are a binding influence be tween members of the family-, the means of dispersing the clouds, ma king rainy days useful, and enliven ing hours of solitude. Aud in a true home the library will not be “stowed away” in a closet or dark room, but will be in the center of the house, in the meeting-place ot the family, where the young and old together catch inspiration in its gathered hoard. In the true home the library will be the favorite “silling room.” Music there ought to be in every home; not only the music of a moth er “singing to her clean, lat, rosy babe,” which the Radical Cobbett so much glorifies, but the music of consenting voices and consenting harps. The head of the house may be a good steward without anv mu sical knowledge, but the true father will know more than the “two tunes,” between which he cannot de cide, when he hears his daughter strike the keys. The best sentiment of home, connects itself from infan cy to age with the voice of music. And home is more fully realized when all the family are together. There is a painful absurdity in talk ing of the pleasure of home when the children of the house are scat tered, or the parents are continually absent. A lather who spends all his lime in his shop or in his club, except the hours of the night in which he sleeps, or the minutes which he gives for meals, knows nothing of lhe satisfaction of home. This is one of the solecisms of American life, that men of wealth lavish so much upon their houses* but are in these houses so little. genial abodes. For a good part t-f every week-day, tor a large part of every Sunday, the parents anu chil dren ought to be in each other’s close society. It is more important for a man of business to be in his home than to provide merely for its enlargement. The “club” is »n place for one who has wife and chil dren ; it is an institution for the tef- uge of grim and ‘ forlorn celibates, and even for them it is of doubtful value. Genuine home-life implies a a hearty love for the society in the house, which will hold this as close and as long as the children are wil ling to remain. Home is a place tor men as much as for Aomen, for the sons as much as for the daugh ters. And no one has a true home when there is any place that he loves better to be in than his home.—Her ald of Health. SI The Old-Fashioned Mother. Thank God ! some ot us have an old-fashioned mother. Not a wo man ot the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her curls and bustle; whose white, jew eled hand's never felt the clasp of ba by fingers ; but a dear old-fashioned, sweet voiced iroiher, with eyes in whose clear depths the love light shone, and brown hair threaded with silver, lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear hands worn with toil, gently guided our tottering steps in childhood, and smoothed our pil lows in sickness ; even reaching out to us in yearning tenderness, when her spirit was baptized in the pearly spray of the tiver. Blessed is life memory of an old fashioned mother. It floats to us tiow, like the beauti ful perfume of some woodland blos soms. The music of other voices may he L<st, but the entrancing memory ot hers wiileehoin our souls forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, Gut hers will shine on until the light from heaven’s por tals shall glorify our own. When in the fitful pauses ot busy life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and, cross:rg the we 11-worn thrpsli- hold, stand once more iu the low, quaint room, so hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and dependence comes over us, and we kneel down iu the molu-1j sunshine, strcai the western long years mother’s luer, lisping Our Father.’ How many times when the tempter lures us on has the memory of those sacred hours, that mother’s words, her laith and prayers, saved us from plunging into the deep abyss of sin ! Years have filled great drifts be tween her and us, but they have not hidden from our sight the glory of her pure, unselfish love now I am rich and beautiful, and you seek my company. Know that I chose my friends where pride rest- eth not, and where modesty and gen tleness Ibrever reign. Ashamed and humbled, the blos soms drooped their fair heads and spoke not, while the vine twined lovingly around its true friend, the tall tree, shaking perfumes from its crimson flowers, while the sunbeams played upon its dark-green leaves. Sub Juga.—Mr. Spillman had just married a second wife. One day after tlie wedding, Mr. S. remarked : “I intend, Mrs. Spillman, to en large my dairy.” “You mean our dairy, my dear,” replied Mrs. Spillman. “No,” quoth Mr. Spillman, “1 en- hrge my dairy.” “Slop—Our dairy,” Mr. Spill man.” “No, my dairy.” “Say our dairy—say our,” scream ed she, seizing the poker. [ “My dairy, my dairy!” yelled the husband. “Our dairy, our dairy !” scream ed the wife, emphasizing each word with a blow on the back of her cring ing spouse. Mr. Spillman retreated under the bed. In passing under me bed clothes his hat was brushed off'. He remained under cover several min utes, waiting for a lull in the storm. At length his wife saw him thrusting his head out at the foot of the bed much like a turtle from his shell. “What are you looking for!” ex claimed the lady. “1 am looking lor ouit hat, my dear,” says he. Other Irons in the Fire.—A lady friend ot Dr. Johnson once asked him for Ins candid opinion of a woik she had just written, hut not yet committed to the pre»s, and begged him to tell her if he thought it would not succeed, as she had oilier irons in the fire to lake its place if it seemed likely to tail. “If this is the case, madam,” repl.ed the doctor, after turning over a lew leaves, “my adv : cd is that you put this where your other irons are.” Be sure your child goes to bed happy.

The Seed and the Flowers. A brown and misshappen seed fell from a tall, withered vine to the ground, where it alighted among a bevy of beautiful blossoms that were resting iu the long grass. The poor brown seed shrank from their haughty and disdainful glan ces, and remained ashamed and trembling. “Who art thou.” exclaimed the stately flowers, one aud all, “that dare penetrate our favorite bower in so ragged and homely a dress?” “1 am an emblem of the past, replied the 3ced, meekly, “anil have alighted to rest for a time.” “An embforn of the past,” reiter ated the blossoms, scornfully.— “Know, then, that we are the guar dians of the present. Go away we have no use for you here.” The brown seed, glad to escape such a neighborhood, was taken by a kind breath of air to the margin of a silver stream. Here it con tented itself with quietly dreaming away, until its mother earth should receive it into her bosom, and when summer-returred it would arise again in new beauty. Autumn passed, and winter came with icy breath and cold fingers ; the blossoms were faded and dead, but the seed was hidden in the earth. Summer came once more with golden sunrays and soft air Awakened into renewed life after so long a trance, the blossoms unfolded their leaves and lifted their proud The children, too, are sent away to 1 heads.

The following occurrence is said, by the Hartford Times, to havr actu ally trunspir d in that city, and not very long ago: One of our prominent and wealthy citizens had purchased a sightly piece of land outside the city, but within the town limits, and the pur chaser was troubled somewhat be cause he had been told that he could not gel water, owing to the elevated position of his land, without digging further Chinaward than any one would be likely to undertake. As we said, this troubled him. He wanted a well on his place, and al though a man of great energy—one wbo never allowed any obsatcle, no matter how great, to turn him from his path—he hesitated long before undertaking his task. The thought of excavating for a welbhrough halt a mile (more or less) of solid rock was enough to deter the stoutest heart. At this juncture, before he had resolved upon anything definite, he dreamed that he had set a gang of men to digging for a well on 'a certain (to his rnind) well defined spot, and that after digging a few leet, before the rock was reached, water came in abundance. The gentieman, though not a bit super stitious, and holding dreams as light ly as anybody, was‘more impressed with bis sleeping vision than he would have cared to acknoledge.— At first he would have scouted the idea of treating the subject seriously enough to pul a spade into the earth at the spot indicated in his dream; but do what he could, he could not dismiss the dream from his mind, and finally he resolved to test it but without any real belief that his dream would be verified. He set his men to work, and strange to relate, after digging fifteen feet, water abundantly flowed, and thus the dream fully came to pass. We have seen ihe well with oar own eyes, and the dreamer, wbo is a gentleman of undoubted veraci ty, assures us that our story is true. . No wonder rejected lovers some* limes commit suicide. There is but lit.I* difference between a dr-carded man and a dr ad man—both are sub- j» cted to mortification.
