But there U an idea qoitc ■differeBt from these and peculiar to Hto oor minds, or rather to «or hearts by this word. We mar live I* o«r native land-in the very place of oar birth-«r the old homestead itself; we ■gy have a mansion all onr own, and fear not the dread summons— "depart hence," and yai have no home. We «•/ not only bate a home, hot a household also —a wife to occupy oer dwcll>ag and spread the air of neatness through every apartment,, children to ballsreaoand with merry voices, and servants to go and come at oor bidj, yet the place be no home to any ■one- A vicioa* and tyrfaicai father, a fretfai Boother, unkind and <fUordeHy-children, may baoMi affection and contentment from tbs splendid maninmate may long for some •ore congenial retreat. 'Oh I Cera lodged some vast wildemsss , Some boondleas contiguity of shad*," may be their marniag aad evening pray-

Houte is aot so much a dwelling for the body as for the seal It is the heart’s qaietretreat, where h neetlass and reposes after the wearisome labors and of the day—the spirit’s to which it fondly returns from every excarsioa oat upon the worM'a wide waste of waters. 11 may ever so rude—a log but out on the leaefy pra rie, or a plain'and tMintfly feratsred apartment io the crowded city, yet the inmates re torn to it joyfaliy from the toils of weary life and the gate of aa unfeeling world. Lore nay light epthe bumble dwelling, and make it almost a paradise. It may de far dearer.to them than all the world treelde. What eaae the parents for the palaces of the rich ond gnat, so often bosomed la their owa dear family forget-

er back.”

Whether it be humble or magnificent, home is the place to which the heart instincUvely clings. It is a bright sunny spot in a cold aad wintry world, wber* body aad mind repose under tbe calm

and holy radiance of domestic love.

That all should hare a borne, in the true sense of the word, is exceedingly important. Man needs a home as he returns from the cares and strifes of a busy, chkGug world. Soothing to bis troubled spirit, k such a calm retreat, where lore whispers in his ears words of peace, and smiles light up his darkened brow. The poisoned sorrows in his bosom are gently withdrawn, his wounds are haded, and be lives on amidst the

vexations of life a happy man.

Still more docs woman need a home, a still and quiet bower, retired from the noisy, dusty highway of life—a refuge from iu strifes and atonnsi She waau a home of bar own—aa unmolested and secure retreat, where the tender shoots of conjugal affection may bod aad blossom, and round which bia.delicate hands

may wreath flowers and garlands.

Above all, children need a home—a quiet, sunny, happy home, where the gentler affections of the young and tender heart may expand and ripen into a genial loving manhood. There should the silken cords of lore be twined about their buoyant spirits, to bind them fast in the family circle. Then will the allurements of vice be counteracted. The grocery, the bar-room, the pley-bouse wiH Lave little attraction for them There is a spell upon their hreuls more potent than the charms of the destroyer.
