▲ PRACTICAL LOVES.
I did tot purchase for my bride
Rich jewelled rings and costly fan*,
But what 1 thought would l>c her pride,
Aoouiplete set of pots and pnm.
1 would not w in sweet Jennie's lore
By golden gilts of magic power :
It she a proper wife should prove.
She would prefer some hags of flour.
1 did not play with Jennie's heart,
Nor try to fix it we elt fickle,
But tent, mistrusting common art,
A side ol pork lor h«r to pickle.
I did not give her rubles red.
To len i t.er raven hair relief,
But what would charui when we were wed.
A good supply of {Kitted beef.
I did not wanton with her love,
That pined to nestle on my breast,
Just like a drooping tired doer
i couch where It could rest.
I did not send her flowers bright,
Whose brightness ah.sj quick ly wanes,
But sent her In tho darkest night,
A set of sheets and counterpanes.
And so at last «ur little Moro
Would lunnsh well an ivied cot.
But then—I should have said belor
hhe jllteu me and kept tho lot.

OCEAN WROTE, M. J.
There is a small State iti our Union,
bordering the A laulic, «»f little historic
classic d renown, yet of great interest
to pleasure seekers, during the torrid heat
of summer, and to the little curving
State of Now Jersey wo are indebted for
some of the fiuest beaches for bathing
and sea side rambling this country cau
produce.
the fashionable resort of Long
Br.ttich to the no lens fashionable Cape
May, the shore of New .Jersey is lined
with summer retreats which have the line
sea breeze and grand facilities for bath
ing—and among them is one of peculiar
interest, six miles from Long Branob,
aud which is appropriately named “Ocean
Grove," as it is really an immense prove
of fragrant pi es, covering several hun
dred acres of land and bordering close to
the sea. Du a first visit to the place,
a person is stronglf impressed with its
beauty and peculiar attractions, and it
remind'* one of the descriptions of fairy
land, where a g »<>d genu s hand has been
seen to wave, and lo! up springs things
most beautiful to behold. Only four or
fivo Hummers ago, the fish hawks built
their nests in the grove, undisturbed by
man, and tho sea gulls floated gracefully
over tho beach unmolested, arid now
there are huudreds of beautiful cottages,
lines of graceful white tents, and multi
tudes of the gotnu homo mingiiug their
voices with the waves in the glorious
summer time.
Tho extent of territory that composes
this lovely rusort is almost surrounded on
three sides by wator—the Atlautic is
spreading gloriously and grandly away on
one Hide, the view of which, with its nu
merous sailing vessels, and grand old
wavos is a perpetual enjoyment, and as
the puvilions are full of curious gazers,
the soul, mind and lioart, enjoy a con
stant feast. On another side of the
grovo is the most bouiiLiful lako imagina
tion could conceive, stretching a mile
away from the soil, from which it is sepa
rated by u simple hairier of sandy beach
of a few hundred fed ill width. It is
entirely composed of the softest fresh
water. From morn to eve, and in the
shadowy moonlight its sparkling waters
are covered with hundreds of tiny bouts,
filled with happy people— u majority
sometimes being children, as tho water
not having much depth, is considered
perfectly safe, and it is s i clear und trans
parent that the pebbly bottom is often
Besides this lukn there are a n
her of others, Homo of which b.*vo tho
lovely water lilies floating on their bo
soms.
Ocean Grove lining partly tiudor con
trol of a religious denomination (Metho
dist) they have mi iuuuonso cainp-meet
iug ground shaded ou all sides by tho
bountiful whispering pines, and for
wenk or two of tho summer it is crowded
with people to listen to eloquont divines,
and tho tenta around and hoarding houses
are filled with oociipantH. The tents
permanent for the summer, and uro in
fine order, arranged iih streets, iu tho
shady groves, und havo in tuuny cases
handsome furniture, uud (heir occupants
cull enjoy rural life in its widest souse—
being in their own tuhernnclos, surround
ed by cherished ones, while driukiiig ill
tho inspirations of nature, and enjoying
the deep musical monotone of the ocean,
whose sublime cudences are ever coming
up lo mingle with tho authems of the
worshippers.
lu sojourning in such ii peaceful resort
tho truest rural enjoyniobl is experienced.
Tho place seems sheltered from all the
frivolities, extreme fashions, and i in mor
alities of tho times, uud though many of
tho visitors have ever been accustomed
to the higher amenities and civilities of
refined life, little distinction is manifold
ed in a social point of view, and it seems
lo bo an accepted idea in this lovely spot
that all mankind lire children of the same
bouijloei.t Father.
Though tho sunny Southland is fra

when Roieus is triuuiphiug o’er us, uud

harmony, an tv family of one great, grow

most romantic, fairy like places it has

Twice as Many.
It has been remarked that there are
twice as many converts to Christianity iu
ludiu to-duy us iu tho whole world at tho
end of the first contury. After tho fir*fc
thousand years there were only twenty
versions o: the Bible; now there are 274.
The first Bible Hociety was formed in
England, iu 1804. Now there are multi
tudes of them, and they havo printed and
circulated 31,000,00 » copies. Iu the room
where Voltaire wrote his boast that Chris-
tiurii'y would not see the nineteenth cen
tury, a Bible depository is established
Many times more Bibles are circulated
and read in the uineleeth century than in
all the ceoturi* r before. Tho h.» ory of
Madagascar, 1820 34, is nn epitome of
Christianity in the first contury. Whcr
the missionaries returned after banish
ment, they found 5,000 Christians as the
result of Bible reudiug, who had remain
ed HteudfsHt in spite of uppaling pcrsccu

The Engllah Lahkii***.
Morse's system of telegraphy is a pow
erful means of spreading the English
language throughout tho world. It is
found that-more matter can be sent iu
the English than in uuy other language,
Its simplicity, conciseness, and strength,
put it into thevory fore front of the bat
tle between Western civilization and the
sleepy empire of the Enst. English cap
ital invested iu railroads, steamships and
lines of telegraphy, as though so many
mighty arteries, is pouring the nsistless
power and muting energy of the English
speaking nations through tho barriers of
heutheniain. Wherever English capital
goes, there goes with it tho the Euglish
lui gouge—aggressive, dominant and un
yielding. Japan is about to adopt it as a
national language; it is rapidly spreading
through India; is calling pretty loudly at
the closed doors of China; it is sinking
along the shoios, and around tho islands
of Polynesia. Australia is connected
with Europe hy an English speaking wiro,
and tho islands of the East Indies are
feeling the influence of this resistless
tide.

Iu domestic huppitioss, tho wife's influ
ence is much greator than her husband’s;

und confidence—beiug grunted, I ho whole
comfort of the household depends upon

diction. By her umnsgomeut of small
Hums her husband's respectability nud
credit aro created or destroyed. No for
tune can stand the couslnut leakages of
extruvugunco uud mismanagement; and
moro is spent iu trifles than women would
easily believe. The one great expense,
whatever it may bo, is turned over and
carefully reflected ou, ere incurred; the
onto is prepared to mont it; hut it is
pennies imperceptibly sliding away which
lo mischief; und this tho wile alone cuu
’top, for it docs not couio within a man's
proviuoe. There is often nn unsuspected
rifle to be saved iu every household. It
m not iu economy alone that the wife's
attention is so necessary, but iu thoso
mutters wbioh make a well regulated
house. An unfurnished cruet-stand, a
missing key, a buttonless shirt, a soiled
table-o.oth, a mustard-pot with itH old
contents sticking hard uud brown about
i f , aro really nothings; but each cun raise
angry word or cause discomfort. Do-
pe.ud upon it, there is a grout deal of
doiuostic happiness iu a well-dressed
mutton-chop, or a tidy breakfast table.
Men grow sated of beauty, tired of musio,
aro often too wearied for conversation
(however intellectual,) but they etui al
ways appreciate a well-swept hearth and
smiling comfort. A woman may love
her husband devotedly — may sacrifice
fortune, frieuds,family,country for him—
sho tuay have tho geuiuri of a Sappho,,
th** enchuiitud beauties of an Armida;
but—melancholy fact—if with these hIio
fails to niako his homo comfortable, his
heart will inevitably escape her. And
women livo so entirely in the affections,
that, without love, their existence is
void. Bettor submit, then, to household
tnskH, howover repugnant they may be
to your tastes, than doom yourself to
loveless home. Women of a higher order
of mind will not run this risk; they know
that their feiniuiue, their domestic, aro

Nothing beautifies a room more sensibly
than it few tastefully arranged flowers or
plants. In summer flowers are alwayi
available, and iu winter their places may
be agreeably supplied by sprigs of over-
green, dried grasses or immortelles,
lew creeping plants, or ivy,, cuu be ob
tained at any time during cold weather,
and a few twigs of these brought into
use whenever required. Thoso who keep
house plants always havo tho materials ut
baud for table decoratious, and they
should be used liberally and constantly,
varying tin* arrangement as often and
widely as possible. A charming house
ornament is supplied by a feru ease, which
may be constructed quite inexpensively,
while tho plauts required, beiug indigo
nous to our woods and meadows, enu be
easily collected, so that the pleasure of
having a case well filled with fiuely
grown plants can be enjoyed by those
who do not wish to expend largely for
this purpose.
Elderberry Wine.—Gather the berries
lipe uml dry, pick them, bruise them
with your hands, und struin them,
the liquid by in a glazed eurtheu vessel
for twelve hours to settle; put to every
pint of juice a pint and a half of water,
aud to every gallon of this liquid three
pounds of moist sugar. Set in a kettle
over the fire, and wheu it is ready to boil,
clarify it with the whites of four eggs.
Let it boll one hour, and when it is cold
mash it withstrong ale-yeast,turn it, filling
up the vessel fiom time to time with the
hauio liquor, saved on purpose, as it siuks
by a mashing. In about a month's time,
if the vessel holds about eight gallons, it
will be fiue aud fit to bottle, aud after
bottling will be fit to drink in twelve
mouths.
A New Way to Serve Peaches.—Take
good sized frees torn* peaches, wipe them
with a towel, halve them, and place, flat
side down, iu hot butter or lard. Let
them fry to a nice brown, then turn and
fill the seed-cup with sugar, which, by the
time the fruit is properly coated, will be
melted aud form with the juice of the
peach a rich svrup. Serve up hot, and if
you don’t like them you need not repeat
tin* experiment. Most persons think the
dish u superb ouo. Medical writers cau
tion people against eating peaches served
up in auy form in the evening. It is as
serted that they aro depressive to the
circulation, and exhaust the system bv the
prusio acid which they contain. It is
better to eat them in the morning or not
later than au early dinner, ao that some
exercise may follow eating, to aid their
proper digestion.
