Ch.t-flJrtl lor lli»* Ladies.
The ]:■(], sos oar limn do net nirio c
nough of tkirTiWts. We lately met with
it passage of Airs. 13 S' we, a passage em
inently adcrossed to a’l, l>■ •tb the lair and
the unf; ir f cx, as a modern writer terms the
“ Lords of Croatian.”
What joys and pleasin' s are derived from
Ibosimple word “heme;” and yet 1 w few
comparativelyspeakinpr, ever reilm tho tri e
meaning by a practical knowledge !
1 When we l*wc lack at tho past, and re
view the feenes *of our PiL. h <od s happy
days, it seems as then 'h it were tut yes
yesterday,so vivid do they remain in the
mind. We would give worlds, wire it in
our power, to return once more to the hap
py socucs of our school days—to greet the
joyous and plcaiiog countenances of tur
loved schoolmates.
But, alas! we Irtco heel: the few years
that we have been absent from tho parental
roof, and beheld, what n change! Some
ere in far - distant clirnvs, battling with the
busy scenes ts life; others have been borne
on angels’wings to t! ir heavenly home,
where cares are unknown, while but few r -
main near the scenes of theirotoo happy
youthful days. These werp our happiest
day s. We knew no cnre3 or troubles but
wb.at were easily overcome, and went tripp
ing along with merry hearts.
W 1 :atujoyit would beta return to the
parental roof once more, and find the same
smiling faces end happy groups that once
were ours to cr jny!
A father’s kind advice, a mother’s love
and a sister’s affection are true embh ms of n
happy heme. It matters not h6w plain or
how rude the dwelling be; if the hearts
within beat in union, there is home. It is
there the pleasures of life are reaped to their
fullest extent.
Mansions or palaces do not constitute the
perfect homo, without the brotherly love and
ass etion we owo-to each other Ao manifest
ed ; but most generally the reverse, a miser
able r.nd unhappy existence.
Our home is what we make it. r c have
it in cur power, however poor, to make homo
happy ; and should it piovc otherwise, the
fault certainly lies in ourselves, "'here is
always same came that leads to unhappi
ness , and in future let us try to avoid every
thing that tends to make us uisirable, that,
when this life has run its course, and the
sun of existence is tiukmgto r.to no more,
we may rut rogret the past.
TSre Smiles llmt Grief.
Someone observed to Dr. Johnson that
it seemed strange that he, vbo so often de
lighted bis Company by bis lively conversa
ib n, should say that be was mi ruble.
“Alas! it i3 all eu‘; ide,” replied the
sag'': “I maybe cracking my jokes and
curbing the sun. ‘Sun, bow l hate thy
beam= !’ ’’ Boswell appends a footnote, in
which he rental l;? that beyond ad übt a
man may appear very g ay in company v, ho
is sad at heart. “I lis in. rriment is hire the
sound cf drum3 and trumpots in a battle, to
drown tho groans of the v umded cnl dy
ing. It is well known that Cowper was in a
morbidly desp n lent state when lie penned
“John Gilpin,” of which delectable ballad
and its congeners ho h.m.v If bears record :
“(Strange as it may seem, the most ludicrous
lines I ever wrote have b:cn written in the
saddest mood, and but fur that saddest mood,
perhaps, had never been written at all.”
In the height of his ili fortune, in 182(5,
Sir Walter Scott was ever giving veut, in
his diary, or elsew here, to some \vl imsieal
outburst or humorous sally ; and rfeer in
diting fin extra gay jcu in his jour
nal, just before leaving his dingy Elinlu gh
lodgings .for Abbotsford, he follows it up
next day by this hit of self-portraiture:—
“Anybody would think from the fal-de-ral
conclusion of my journal of yesterday, (hut
I left town in a very gay humor. Bat na
ture has given mo a buoyancy—l knew not
what to rail it—that mingles even with my
deepest afflictions and most gloomy hour. 1
have a secret pride—l fancy it will bo most
truly termed —which impels me to mix with
my distress strange snatches of mirth
‘which have no mirth in lhem. : ”
Changes in Shokmaktjs g.—A Haverhill
(Mass) oorrespon lent of the Salem (Lzitte
wys:
“ Iho shoo Lus.uc-s here has quite re
cently undergone a complete ehaogc. Once’
five years rgo, say —the f hocmakers tool;
out their sets of sheer, made them and car
ried them in—this latter opcr,.tion usually
costing a day or half c. day ; but now every
thing is done by steam, and cveiy part of
the business is carried on ir:dej cadent of the
rest. One shop turns out heels and stlffen
ings, another uppers, in another sole leather
is cut, and, finally, the goods are made up
by steam power exclusively. number of
new establishments have been'lately started,
worked by steam power entirely.”
A Tradition.—lt has been a question for
discussion among philosophers, how it hap
penq that woman, naturally amiable, when
aroused, can say such sharp and penetrating
things. The mystery was solved not long
since, by the discovery of some very old ar
chives, that gives the following explanation
of the mat ter: It is sai l th: t when hot sep
arated from Abraham, that he determined to
iavrsthis surplus fund ; in real estate; and
the city of Sodom presenting an inviting field,
bo turned his faoc thither, and there located.
But so great was the wickedness cf the peo
ple, that it was determined by the Creator of
tho Universe to destroy the place; accor
dingly, messengers were io load Lot and
Lis family out; they departed reluctantly;
and Mrs. Lot giving her bonnet box to a
Bcrvant to bring along, was watching and stop
ping for her and scolding withal, when she
was suddenly turned into a pillar of salt.—
Thus by a strange and wonderful sympathy,
u woman’s tongue even to this day is quite
salty, whenever she feels disposed to convert
it into a saline weapon, especially, if her bon
net is missing or a subject of critique.—
Southa n Recorder.
Nut long since, our friend Brown was on
a visit to Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and
was much struck with the fact that a fine
jet of water was thrown up above the tftp of
the eminence on which tho hotel stands.—
Malting round the jet admiringly, he accost
ed a plain countryman with:
“My friend, is this wafer forced up by a
ram?” meaning, cf course, the hydraulic con
trivance so named.
“A ram?” exclaimed the countrvman.
“Yes, a ram, I say.”
“What on airth—no, Sir; il’sa domed big
mule! and it's tremeudous hard work for him.
Come here, and I will show him tb you.”
Brown saw the mule, and kft
