Homh is not a name, nor a form, uor n routine. It is a spirit, a presence, a principle. Material ami method will not, and cannot inuko it. It must gut its light and nweetuosn from thono who iuhabit it, from flowers ami sunshino, from tho sympathetic natures which, in their oxeroiso of sympathy, oau lay aside the tyranny of tho broom, nnil tho awful duty of endloss scrubbing. In a great oity liko Loudon thoro are always houses which, from some aooi dental oause, pnss away from nuy rt ■ nponaiblo ownership. Bomotimen they are oooup’ed by touanta who, in tho first instance, pay no rents, and thou gradu ally assume the rights of landlords. It iN said there is a company iu Loudon orgauiaed solely to make n profit by taking possession of such property and either holding it or finding owuors. In viow of the foot that Watt's hymns havo boon translated into tho Ohootaw language, and have b oomo favorites of tho braves, an admirer of tho noblo rod men says it is very affecting to think of n noblo rod man sitting upon a fence and singing, "How doth tho little busy boo," while ho wntoh<*t liis wifo currying homo n oouplo of bushels of potatoes upon each shoulder, and woiuloriug if ho oonldu't swap thut squaw for a jug of robust rum. Mrs. Thompson, of Mohawk, New York, loves chivalrous men. She want ed ono for a son-in-law. Bho hud some doubts about tho young mau who whs engaged to hor daughter, soslio dressed in men’s clothes and picked a quarrel with him. Tho prospective son-in-law took oft his ooat, jammed tho old lady’s hat down over her eyes, tore hor collar eff, broke hor nose, and wns about to make oarpot-rags of her pautaloous, when ho discovered that ho was fighting u woman. Mrs. Thompson thinks ho will do. Recently two olderly Scotch maiden ladies of a believing, faithful, and rather superstitious turu, being from tho Heo- lauds, wero startled out of their Bouses owing to a revelation made to them by aa old goat'enau traveling iu the samo carriage, os to tho history of au air- ou hion wkioli ho carried ou his lap with tho utmost auxioty lest any one should touch it. "That air-cushion," lio said to his fellow-passengers, iu a voioo husky with emotion, "ooutaius tho last bre.dh of my dead wife. She expired iu a fit immediately after blow ing it out. I beg, Indies, that you will not meddlo with it." Bomb curious statistics respecting the duration of patents lmvo been recently published in England. It is found that above 79 pur cent, of the patents are allowed to elnpso at tho end of the third year, and 90 per cent, at the end of the seventh. There are, therefore, only 10 per cent, which, iu tho opinion of the mventors, arc worth A.T00 at tho end of seven years’ trial. If thoso figures nff .rd anything like a fair imlioation of tho teal use o» patent a either to inven tors or tho pnblio, then the r^borJ is a melancholy one, and is marked by long lines of failure and disappointment, only relieved at wide intervius by occa sional doubtful successes. GRAPE* AND fJRAPE CULTURE. Th« Approved VatUliti for tho Santb, • nd Hew la Grow Thom. In reference to the beat varieties of the grape for the south generally, we have little to add to the nnmerona notes >o that subject, whioh wo have pub lished during the past year, but would refer the reader particularly to an ar- »iclo headed "Good Grapes for the South," in the Rural Carolinian for Oo- 'ober, 1878, in whiob five or aix desir able and well-teak d kinds are dcscribod, tnd several others mentioned as promis ing. Among the former are tbo Con cord, Hartford Prolific, Delaware, Ives’ -Seedling, Norton’s* Virginia and Clin *on (tbo two last only for wine), and imong the latter, Walter, Maxatawny tnd Perkins. A vino or two of the Heupperneng ahould always lie nut in, vhatever oilier varieties are planted, tnd if wino is to lie made, it may per haps be planted largely, with profit. As a table grape, it ia not salablo, except ia « small way in onr local markets. Where only a fow vines aro to bo planted, simply to produce fruit for family uso, they will be naturally plan- ted near the house, and littlo oholoe will .lie afforded in tho selection of toil and situation; but thero arc fow plaoos fit for human habitation where the gravo-vine, properly planted and oared for, will not grow and produce regular and satisfactory crops. In oaso a vineyard is to be established, forethought ana judgment should lie exercised in its location. A good loam is probably tho best soil, and if caloer ous, so muoh tbo better ; but almost any sandy pine land of good quality will oroduoo lino crops of grapes. It must have good drainsgo. oitlior natural or artificial, as stagnant wAter is death to grapo-vines. Iu a billy or rolling oonn- try a gently sloping hillside, with an eastern, southern or southwestern ex posure is desirable. The land should, if possible, bo freo from stumps end other obstructions, and in suoh a con dition of fertility as would procure a good orop of corn or ootton without further manuring. Supposing tho ground to bo in tho condition in which it was left by a pre vious heavily manured orop, tlio first step in tho vrotk of preparation is to break it up thoroughly as for wheat. Subsoiling will bo of great beuofit to some soils, but whore tbo subsoil is loose and well grained it is not nores- n ry. Aftor breaking up tho land, lay it off into olicoks eight feet each way. We givo this as a good avorago distance, for tho different varieties. For the' strong growing kinds, liko thn Concord and tho Clinton, ti n foot might possibly bo hotter, and for tho Delaware six feet would do very well. If tho location ia a hill-side, the rows should bo horizon- tslizod by running around it. At each intersection of tho furrows, sot a stake live or six feet in longtli. Around oaoh stake dig tho hole for tho vino, eithor with a shovel or with n hoo, as may bo found most expeditious. Holes from ten inches to one foot in doptli, and from two to throo feet iu iliametor are snflioient A good shovelful of surface soil from tho woods, thrown into oaoh hole, would bo benefloiul, bnt is not ossontial, provided tho soil lie in the condition wo havo indicated. If, how- over, the subsoil has been laid bare in diggiug tho hole, some of tho good stir- faoo soil thrown out must be rotnrued before plaeing tho vine in position, The vines should bo pruned to throe buds, and the roots clipped, if too long, aud placed in tho hole so that tho top will lean agAinnt or bo near the stake, aud but slightly above tho general stir- faoo oi the grouud. The roots must uow bo spread out evenly, on all sides, and tbo soil oraefully filled in ovor aud around thorn, scattering in at tho same time, so as to l>o well mixod throughout, a liberal allowance (say a quart or moro to eaoh vine) of bouo meal or orushod bones, nml tho work of planting is done. It if a vory important matter to got good, wcll-rootod vines. Tliev should bo thrifty ono yoar old vinos, of uniform size. Avoid, as a general rule, tho " ex tra largo, two yoar old vinos, for imme diate bearing, advertised by nursery men. Nothing is gained iu Uio end by getting suoh vTuos, and they are goner- ally sold at a double price. Naming the Baby* A payiug hoax was play oil a fow days since, says a Clarksville coirespondent of the Louisville Courier-Jouriia), upon tho family rolativea of ono of our yotiug married men who had the good fortune (or bad fortune, whichever way tho reader construes it) of having nn addi tion to bin family in tho shape of a boy woighing nine pouuds avoirdupois. A friend of tho parents directed a postal card to each one of tho uncles and aunts of tho littlo aliap, bearing upon tho baok thoro fow lines : "G lias a now baby at bis Iioubo named aftor you." Iu a fow days letters of congratula tion bogau to pour in. A gentleman from our oity. ono of tbo mioles, sent by express a bountiful silver cup, no oompnuiod by tlieso words ; "I thank yon for au honor that my ilnnnooe will not permit mo to accept vory often from my numerous relatives;" another, writ ing from Faduoah, fools " highly grat ified thnt you should name your boy aftor mo, and if it bears in reality my name, and is not named just forty-five Years after me, you can draw upon me for his first boots aud I will honor his draft." no "sniolls a mice." An aunt to tho infant, writing from Hop kinsvillo, Ky., says : " Yon know* not how gratified I atu that yon have named your littlo girl after me. I am not well now, but os soon ns I am able to ven ture out upon tho streets I shall no- knowledge tho honor in a more becom ing manner." Au undo at Eriu, Tonn., writes: "Kiss the baby for mo. I do not know liow to thank you. As soon as I onn find time to dig several pounds of giusong I will send my little namesake a present." And thus they continued to oomo from all sections, ns tho family is quite numerous. The baby is yet unuoruod, and if it receives tho name of oaoh ono who has Beut a present thero is a slim show for its future existence. llow to Head the Army Worm. The army worm has, iu California, mot. an aotunl defeat. These creatures appeared in vast numbers ou the boot fields near Sacramento, and opposition was utterly powerless by trenches or by fire, but tho experiment of settiug tur keys against them proved completely successful. The birds rushed at them, aud for several days lived upon no other food, supplying themselves nlrnost to surfeit with this delicious treat. For awhile it wtui uncertain which party would prevail, but latest accounts re port a complete triumph for tho birds. Tho turkey crop has disposed of the worm and saved tho l>eet crop—and in asmuch as tho beets wero iu hundreds of acre*, cultivated for sugar, tho victo ry saves nu important industry that wns threatened with eutir.' destruction. Somo of tho birds suffered. One, in deed, died, and being dissected was fouud to contain 1,432 worms, many of which were still alive. Thero were about 8,000 tnrkeya engaged, and the total number of worms eaten may be calculated at leisare. Tho method of removing thn pests by pntting against them their natural destroyers is emi nently sensible, and there Is a lesson in it all for moro osstern farmers. Alaska as New Iceland. The Icelanders havo recently cele brated tho ono-thousandth anniversary of the settlement of their remote anocs tors in their l leak northern home, a region of dreary wastes, volcanic moun tains and vast fields of lava. In the in terior aro extensive regions embracing thousands of square miles whero noth ing is to be seen bat tho vestiges of vol- ••unic destruction. Hinco the first settle- merit tho ctimato and physical geography of tho ootintry havo undergone a re markable change, so that the country in now scarcely habitable. For a long period tbo moan annual temperature liss neon steadily decreasing. Varieties of grain and vegetables formerly raised in comparative abundance will no longer grow there. The anoient forests have almost entirely disappeared. Tho rav ages of famine and pastilenco have re- ducod the population to some 70,000. These foots have warned tlio Icelanders that the timo is at hand when their native land will cease to bo habitable by man, and tlioy begun some years Ago to look abroad in search of some region to whioh tliev might emigrate. A fow hundrod of them undertook to establish a settlement in the highlands of Brazil, but they found thcclimato uncoDgcniol, and tho colony went to Canada, but wero not satisfied in tboir now borne. Others tried some of onr western states, with no better result. Moro recently some of their leading men have con ceived tho idea that of all tho territory of tho United States Alaska will suit them best. In this belief they havo petitioned tho president to furnish fa cilities to a committee of Icelanders to visit Alaska for the purposn of ascer taining its suitableness as a home for their countrymen. Tho president aud his oabioet viowed the proposition with favor, and the sloop»of-war Portsmouth, at Mare Inland, was dotabod to tako the oommittco on their expedition. On the 18Ui of the presont month tho committee arrived in Han Francisco, and on Thurs day of last week tlioy nailed for H tka, on tho Portsmouth.

Coal for I*lgs. Thoro is no doubt iu our mind of tlio bonoflt from feeding carbonaceous mut ter to swino when they arc kept in oloso pens. Tlio avidity with whioh tings eat rotten wood is woll known. Oharooal is but another form. The utility of feeding wood has long been recognized. Wo somo years sinoo substituted tho ordinary western stono coni with the boat results, whero from 200 to 500 hogs wore kept in oloso pens r on the rofnse of oity hotels. Something of tho kind seems ns neoessnry to them as suit to herbivorous animals. We havo known them to consume a pound iu tbo oonrso of a day, and again they would not seek tho ooat for somo time. Just what the pnrtioular uso coal is in tho uuirual ooJnomy, is uot so ensy to answer. Hwino aro especially liable to scrofulous and inflammatory diseases.

Gratoftil Thousands proclaim Vin egar Bitters the most wonderful In- vigorant that ovur suatuinod tho sinking system. N*Person cun tuko these Hitters accorfllng to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones aro not de stroyed by mineral poison or other moans, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. KiMiiittont and Inter mittent Fevers, which aro so preva lent in tho valloys of our great rivers throughout tho United States, especially those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande, l’earl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ito- nnoko, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entiro country during tho Summer and ; Autumn, aud remarkably so during sen- sous of unusual heat and dryness, tiro invariably accompanied by oxtensivo de rangements of tho stomach and livor, j ana other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful infiueuco upon these various or- ' gnus, is essentially necessary. Thero ^ no cathartic for tho purpose equal to ni:. j. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, j as they will speedily rernovo tho dark- colored viscid matter with which tho i bowels aro loaded, at tho samo timo stimulating tho secretions of tho liver, 1 and generally restoring tho healthy ; functions of tho digestivo organs.

For Inflammatory nml Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Itcmit- t tent and Intermittent Fevers, Dlaenscsof tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, j thoso Hitters havo no equal. Such Diseases ! aro caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.-Persons en- I gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as j Plumbers, Type-setter*, Gold-beaters, and : Miners, ns they advance in life, aro subject i to paralysis of tho Ilowcls.

Nr , system of medicine, no vermifuges, bo on- thelminitlca will freo tho system from worms like theso Bitters. i For Femnlo Complaints, in young | or old, married or single, nt tho dawn of wo- I manhood, or tho turn of life, theso Tonio ; Bitters display so decided an influenco that improvement is soon perceptible. I Cleanse tho Vitiated RInod when- ! ever you find its impurities bursting through tho Bkin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanso it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in tho veins; elennso it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep tho blood pure, and tho health of the system will follow. R. ii. McDonald * co.. Druggists *nd Gen. Agt*., S.in Francisco, California, XDU ear. of Waxhlncton ami Charlton St*.. X. Y.
