A single bitter word may disquiet an en tire family for a whole Jay. One surly glance cast a ijjlcKra over the household ; while a smile like a gloom of unhine, may light up the darkest ami weariest houe. Like unexpected flower which spring up along our path, full f freshness, fragrance and beauty, so do kind words, and gentle acts, and sweet dispositon-, make glad the home where pace and blessings dwell. No matter how humble the abode, if it be thus garnished with grace, and sweetened with kindness and smiles, the heart will turn longing to it from all the tumults of the world, ami home, if it be ever so home ly, will be the dearest spot beneath the cir cuit of the sun. Aixl the influences of home perpeinate th'euiselvesr The gentle grace of the moth- er lives in thedaughiers long alter her head is pillowed in the dut of death; and fath erly kindness finds its echo in the nobility and courtesy ot sons who come to wear his mantle and to fill his place; while on the other hand, fiom an unbMioiv. misirovtrnHd , , . 1 ' - I . ami uisortiertM home, go torth persons who snail make inner homes miserable, ami per petuate the sourness and sadness, the con- tentions, and striUs, and railings, which have made their own early lives so wretched and distorted. Toward the cheerful home the children gather "as cluds and as doves to their windows," while from the home which is the abode ol discontentment, and strife, and trouble, they fly forth as vultures to rend their prey. The class of ra.ui that disturb, and disor der, and distress the world are net those nurtured amid the hallowed influences of Christian homes-: but rather those whose 7 earlv life has been a scene of t rouble and vexation who have started wrong in the pilgi image, and whose course is one of dis aster to themselves, and trouble to those around them.

About thirty yean ago the great traveller, Humboldt, reported that the Peruvians ued in their agiicultural operations a re nt rkab'e Mibsiauce called guant, which had fertilizing properties ot an extraordi nary character. lie examined the locality where the matter was found, and pronounc ed it the dung of sea birds which made their breeding and roosting places then. At the Chiucha Islands he found the de posits to be over sixty feet in thickness, and, observing how thin a deposit ws made every year, he calculated that it must have taken many thousands of years to fur nish the yhole mass. As no rin falls on the Ulaiyls, the excrements cannot wash away j y total absense ol rain was therefore neccsKafy to Humboldt theory. It is 1 inai k.blt hin.r mi aftur nnr.tlirr nf the scietmtic explanations of our jreat men come to be set aside. Jb or years no one disputed Humboldt s idea it was so plaus ible: and et the irreat. tinin renuired to , j o 1 establish the whole deposit was always a . i i . ... i i i . i i i siumoiing-oiocK io wcaK minus. jmh at length it Mas discovered that cuano existed C7" O on the islands all alono; the Pacific cost, in many of which there was no great ibun- uance oi sta oirtts, ami on some ot wnicn, as in those off the coast oi Lower California. rain often fell heavily. Thus Humboldt's theory of the sources of guano was tairly onen to dottbt. The i6iiit has been that the Chiucha Island deposits have been examined by scientific men. While there is mo doubt about sonic of the tinner surfaces of these deposits beinir the excrements of birds, the lower, and indeed comparatively the whole, is tounii to De a jieoiosicai tormation. mat which owes its ori?in to birds is. of course. one thick mass, without order or arrange ment; but the lower and larger portion is straiineu, or in Horizontal layers, nne tock in a sand stone ouarrv. and. of course, re- quired the action of water to give it that lorm. It has ww been ascertained that there existed aioncr the Pacific slone small oriran- isms, whic'i were neither animal nor vege table, but which a learned German author calls "protista?," and which, dying, formed t hese layeis at the bottom ol the waters. Tiie bed of the Pacific is undergoing grad ual, and oten, in the case of the volcanic islands, prttty rapid upheaval, and thus the beds of nhosnhatie eruano are formed bv the throw ia'j up above the level of the wa- ter the beds of dead protista? which existed hundreds ot vears aro. ml . This pixces the origin of guano in a more comprehnndable light, What we call the ammonUied ruanos are. in all probability, the excrements and remains of animals, while the phosphat ic guanos are ot marine origin, and a verv different substance. TrateMers, even so acute as Humboldt, are oftendcceived by the reports or the lan guage ofthe strange people among whom Tliev exilore. and in this case Humboldt probabl mistook the derivation oi the word 'Vuano." It does not. as is generally sun- posed, nean bird manure, but any kind ot fertilize!. It is ljiooerlv written in the Peruviai language "whuanno," and is de rived fmm the verb to aroxo. Whatever makes plants grow is guano. It seems to have bten in use for a verv Ions period by the inhabitants of districts in which it is found. Dr. Edwards, of the .New lork Lvct'unt of Xatnral Ilislorv. has given the subject of guano history much study, ami finds it is referred to ill an old Peruvian book published two hundred years ago.

Although sap-headed preachers often de nounce money-makers and rich men and a" rive to make po r jeop'e believe that they will fro to heaven because they are p.Kr, yet they know (if they have common sense enough to think about it) that if no one made more money than he needs to support himself and family the Churches would have to be shut up and the preachers, seek some other occupation. In New York City there are about 20 Hospitals for nursing the sick of the poor and destitute classes, all supported by the wealthy men of that City ; and four more hospitals for the poor are being erected by private contributions from the men who are assigned to perdition by jack-leg preachers because they have been industrious and careful and econimical enough to save some thing for charity. From the New York Herald we take the following interesting statemeut in regard to the Charity Hospitals of that City: In London and Paris the hospitals both care lor out and indoor patients ; New York hospitals, with a tew exceptions, lor uuioor oatients onlv.

The attention of learned men has been frequently, called of late to the appearance of diseases unknown or very uncommon some years ago. There is, moreover, a rapid increase of some disorders common at all times. Thu, insanity is increasing in Great Britain at a much greater rate than the population. In 1859 there were classed as insane in England and Wales 37,762, while upon the 1st of January, 1872, thera were, 5tf,640, an increase of over 55 per cent, in thirteen years. In 1859 there were 186 lunatics to" every 100,000 persons, while now there are 249 in the same nam ber. And all this is true in the face of the fact that great attention has been paid to the treatment ofthe insane within a few years. Disease ofthe heart is also rapidly increasing in the male sex. Within twenty years the number of deaths among men be tween the age of twenty and forty-five (the working yarsof a man's life) has near ly doublet!, while there has been hardly any increase in the mortality of women by the same disease. This result is due to the feverish excitement of modern life, which naturally exhausts the vital powers of men engaged in the competition of business or the general strife for position and wealth. Neuralgia, one of the most common of dis -eases now, was hardly known a century since, and softening of the brain is said hardly ever to have been thought ol it is hut a little while since some startling sta tistics in reference to the growing preva lence of Right's disease in this country Wi-iv published. The reader will observe that most ox these disorders arise from trouble with the brain, the heart, or the nervous system. In searching for the causes the student is led to the snecial features of our modern life. lie finds in the increase of comforts, sanita ry improvements, advance of medical aeionet &c- the explanation ofthe decrease of mortality.

We cannot live as fast as at present without a sacrifice of health and vigor. Blue Light as an Organio Stimulant. At a recent meeting of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society. Gen. Pleasauton read an interesting paper on the effects of sun lit: hi on plants and animals when transmit- ted through blue glass. Ueraniums winca hd become unhealthy recovered their vigor and became more aeepiy coiorea when covered with blue glass; aad the branches of the same irrape vine showed a remarkable difference in their growth of leaves aeccording as they were or were not tovered with blue glass, the leaves of the former having a diameter ot six to eight inches, being ol a deep-green color, ana . a - ft perleclly healthv; while the uncoverea branches were only t wo inches in diameter, ami of a pale hickly yellowish color, iudicat ing a teeb'.e vitality. 1 he paper also mentioned a case ot tne wile of a Philadelphia physician who had fc.r Home time been sutferinir from a compli cation of disorders which had ba tiled the skill of her phyMcians, and who, on the sug gestion of Gen. Pleasonton, tried the follow, ing plan: Every other pane of glass in one ot the windows oi tne patient a room wi removed and blue glass substituted, and the patient required to expose her back and spine to the action ol the combined blue ana white lights for thirty minutes each day. at the same hour. At the beginning of tho treatment she was unable to sleep or eat, was in a miserable condition, and wasting rapidly. At the end of ten days the pains in her. back were less, ner nair nau ueguu growing thickly, and there was a marked improvement in her general condition. In three weeks she was almost entirely weiu Medical liecora. aewiii Does Advertising Pat. See how this important question has been answered by men who made collospal fortunes.

Don't wait till you are old and dying. The opportunity may luat'nlni in their wills, but covetou relatives generally strain it out. One man left $1,000 to a church, but it was never paid. Another man willed 15,000 to a college, Dut ne aiea and the college never heard a word of the money. Apply yonr liberality now, while you can watch it and see which way it goes, and how much good it does. Some irood men hold money till they die, and then it is spent in the service oi caiau. Better for them to look around and see how they can bless mankind and to do good without any dangerous delays. Biblical Recorder. 2T" A curious case was lately before an English court involving the legal recogni tion of ghosts. A tenant who was troubled with ghosts on his premises annulled the contract of lease between himself and bis landlord. The landlord took legal means to secure the fulfillment of the contract, but the court decided in favor of the tenant.
