I am anxious to sav-a tew words about Home: 1 nc song w-w ' t. rm tells us 'there is no place like it.' lJut how few Any the song is jitfht. hojmcs tliere are in the world? Or h inv many .'homes which are no homes?' ft is f nough to make a per eon sick to think of it- No one home in ten is deserving of llje name. And what wonderl Look at it. A young man meets a pretty face in the ball room, jfalls in love with it, courrs it, marries it,' goesUo housekeeping with it, and boasts of having a home to go to and a wife. The chances are nine to ten he has neither! Her pretty face gets to be an old story -or becomes faded or freckled, or fretted and as ithat face was all he wanted,' 3 1 1, he 'paid attention to,' all he sat wp with all he bargained for, all he swore to 'lijve, honor and prolect,' he gets sick of liis trade; knows a dozen faces which he likes better, gives up slay ing at home eyemngs; 'consoles himself with cigars, tjysters, whiskey punch and politics, and loo);s upon his 'home' as a verv inditrerent bqarding-house. A fami ly of children grown up about him; but neither he nor his 'face' knows anything about .training' -them: 'so they come un Jiclter-skelter-prmade toys of vhen babies, dolls-when boys and girls, drudges when lyoung men and I women; and so passes years after .'years', and not one quiet, happy, hearty, hfmiely honr is known , throughout the wlible household' Another young iman becomes enamor ed of a 'fortune.'. He waits 'upon it to parties, dances the polka with it, ex changes billet dovx with it, pops the ques tion to it, gets 'yes from it, is published to if, takes it) to ihe parson's, weds it, call it 'wile, carries it home, sets up an establishment .1 . . i win ii, introauces u to nis says, (poor devil,) that he friends, and too is married and has cot a home..

J ,4 ; There ate many other kinds of ill-as. sorted Carriages,' and they all result in unhappy 'homes.' What else could be expected? Young folks get their ideas of the holiest relation in life from the rjovel Or when this is not the case, they, in most instances, have no idea at all! of it, but are.ffoverned in their choice and con duct by their feelings, their passions, or their. imagined interests. Thus tht mar riage union is prostituted throughout the civilized world, and the terrible retribu tion is seen in myriads of discordant and disordered households. Hence, that which should be the most beautiful of places, is shunned by thousands as a pest-r ouse. Children finding no enjoyment bepeath the parental roof, seek for it in places of others of public resort, become corrupted in their manners and morals, anl I are ruined. Tq this cause more than almost any other, can be traced the immortality of our youth. Look at this town. See the hundreds ; of dirty-fa cetlbrats vhich swarm our streets, and insult every pass .

The Washington Un ion continues to groan over the "infa mous system of prosciiption,'" as it calls the system instituted by Jackson land practised by all his Locofoco successors. A few days ago the Union said, "Premeditated Proscription! AV e ajre in formed that the heads of Departments have had a large number of blanks printed to be used for notices to those clerks and other persons in office whom they design to remove. We understand that his is the firsttime in the history of our Govern ment when printed notices have be ?n re quired by the urgency of proscr ption and the number of victims! deslin ?d for butchery. It shows that the system of proscription is premeditated; and will be "sweeping if any of our friends will furnish us with a specimen of these modern ters de cachet." so common during the reign of the Bastile in France, we will give it to our readers. When such preparations are made for wide and sweeping po itical butcher)', how can the mendacious min ion of this corrupt Administration have the hardihood to assert that remov Is are made for causes other than political! How much more manly and honorable it vould be if they would come out and fnnkly admit that they want the offices, and therefore they remove their opponents." On the next day "the Republic,, in formed the Union, that the circulars which had so aroused its indignation were: "pre pared in the Treasury Department, by the order of lve late Secretary, as long ago as the 24lh January. They - were printed by his employes, and delivered on the Gth of February. The whole matter then, it seems was begun and completed by the last Administration. The present heads of Departments have had nothing to do with them.-OfaoTer, A DELICATE LIBEL. A quiet elderly gentleman found him self one of four travellers in a railway carriage. The other three were ladies, who talked from the begining to the end of the journey kept up, in fact, so lengthened a conversation, that it was ex actly two hundred miles long. When nearly at the terminus, the most voluble of the ladies expressed a hope to the gen tlemen that the incessant collobuy had not disturbed him. "By no means, mad am," he said, politely; "I have been mar ried exactly five-and twenty years-" Valuable Advice. The editor of the Racine Advocate winds up a long article to the ladies, with a word to the "lords "A word to married men. Remember to be polite to your own wives, for if you are, not, others will be." Not Bad. The marriage of Col. Bragg of a "little morefape" notoriety, is no ticed by the New York Globe as a sur render of the gallant colonel, which the Globe says "served him right! He should have known that this battery could not res ists, the small arms of woman." -. My Conscience A do wn-east paper speaks of amillonaire who is estimated to be wojtU two hundred thousand.

I saw several stormy discussions in the National Assembly, and felt quite proud that our House of Commons, was so far superior to it in gentlemanly demeanor. I saw one representative "of the people publicly strike another, and thought to myself, "Well, if our Members do occa sionally fight a dueljHhey never descend to blows!" and I felt still more proud of St. Stephen's. f ' - - I saw long poles decked out with faded ribbons, and dead Immortelles, which I was told were ' 1 rees of Liberty," but I neve should have guessed it. A dav orfwn afterwards I saw some of ihese;1orfg poles cut down, lying in the mud, and some- how I could not helrrremarking that such . II.. jt-W-.i- ::'T ..i was geueiany laie in rrance Wltn every thing thaf was popular. I saw the representatives and minis- ters circulated in the farces and vaude villes, and was rather astonished at the joyous manner in vvnich the audience laughed at every little allusion to their Republic. I saw several of the houses battered with shot, aad stiil retaining marks of the can non, and no longer that the French wonder ed had such little affection for home, when they could scarcely call it their own for two days together. If a Frenchman's home, like qn Englishman's, is his castle, j then, egad, it should be a fortified one.- I saw one man call on Lamariine; and this one man called himselfJariEnglish deputation," and I burst-out laughing when I read in hisspeech something about "unaiiirnityjust as if it were a very difiicul tithing for one man to be unanimous--"' I saSvin one shop, placed side by side, busts of Louis Napoleon, the Duke of- Bordeaux, and the Count of Paris, close ly elbowing one another, which struck me as rather curious; but not halt as much so as the general absence of every me mento of Louis Phillippe. Not a portrait of him any where, excepting a rare one, every now and then, on a five-franc piece;his very name seems to hare left the French language. He might well with out fear of contradiction, publish now a la Chateaubriandj his "Memories D'Outrc tome." I saw the conscription going on in one of the conntry villages, and witnessed a mother weeping over a gamin that had drawn an unluckynumber, whilst the young scamp was grinning. I. saw in Boulogne far more English than French. - I saw a Frenchman not admitted on the railway at one of the intermediate stations, because he had left his passport behind him. 1 saw several newspapers seized, and afterwards heard that the editors had been severely fined, which I thought was rather a free manner of enforcing the Liberty of the Press; but then it must be confessed that the Press in France in re turn, takes liberties enough without the smallest warrant. I also saw a Club closed, and a five sous banquet dispersed, and a crowd of people ordered to "circuler," and it was all done, strangely enough, in the name of the Republic. I likewise saw (what I would rather not have seen) women addressing politi cal meetings, and they were answered and cheered on by other women, who, I thought, would have been much better employed at home mending stockings, or nursing their babies, that ts to say, ii French women do either, lor I had no time to see. r I neither saw nor heard the slightest allusions to' Fraternity; but what pleased me more was, that I saw all the public buildings and exhibitions in Paris with out paying the smallest twopence for admission, and I thought with shame, how different it was in mv own country. The same feeling colored my cheeks when I saw the Standish Gallery hand somely displayed in .the Louvre, for I could not help asking myself, in what miserable dark hole, or cupboard, or corner, or cellar,; wpuIJ this same collec tion have been put, supposing it had been presented like Mr. Vernon's generous gift, to jhe English nation? How much belter they manage such things in France! 1 saw tlie Public Galleries and Muse urns thrown open on the Sunday, and real ly, for I watcheth. most particularly, the people looked all the happier for it. Great er decorum could not have prevailed, and not an article was broken. I thoughtof the Pritish Museum, the Society oKArts, the National (3alleryf and wondered why ice English, who I profess, as other nations profess, to be "the rpost civilized nation in the wotld' dpliipt follpwr so beneficial, so happy an example ! I saw a-great deal more that charmed me, alternately, but that which gave me by far the greatest plsasure was the kind ly feeling, and cordiality, shown us by every Frenchman wherever we weut. It No. 23. was a great familyholiday. Good na ture greeted everywhere, and I, for. my self, could never have believed that the French were one-halfsuch fine, generous. joiiy leuows, as, to my great delight and enjoyment, I found them.

SujrPboddy ses it aint a. fair question ax a gal her age. The old maids. I leckon, sed that. Now I think it's fully as nufair to ax a gal her weigld, as it is to ax her age, 'case it's a tuff question, it is; and when you hears about weighin' Sal Greeny, you will say so too. You know cusen Jeff; he's a rale staver 'mongst the gals, he is, and he don't kare a straw what he sez to any on 'em, he don't. -t -r rr . . vusen jen, ne cum over 10 our nouse jg one Sunday, and he sez to me, "Pete, lesltl go to see "Squire Greeny s gzls 'A greed" sed I. And so outwe struck. I felt orful bold when Ifirst started, but sum how the neajerwe got to Squire Greeny's, the worse skeared I was, And I wishedjve had never started; but it was too late now, so in we went. 'Squire Greeny's got two gals, Sal and Betsy, as nice gals as you ever seed, they is. They all seemed mighty perlite; and me and T SV .1 I a . . cusen Jen, tnougni we was gettin on furst rate, we did. Sal lookd dreadful nice, I tell you. I'de a'gin' the world if I could only a found sumthing to say to ! her; but I stud yd over ever thing I ever heard or thought of in my whole life, but not the first darn'd word could I think of wuth savin. Cusen Jeff was all the time talkin' like all natur' to Betsy. After a while Sal she proposed we should all go and weigh. So out we all went, 'Squire Greeny goin' along to weigh Us. When Sal's turn cum 'Squire Greeny, look'd sorter stonish'd, "VVhy Sal," sez he, "you weigh a hun dred and -fifty." "Law Par," sed Sal. "Ain't it Jeff?" sed the Squire. "Yes sir ee" sed Jeff. And sure enuffSal weighed a hundred and fifty; the hevyest critter in the whole gang on us. Well we all went back to the house, and ar'ter awhile, sez 'Squiijb Geeny, seze he, "Old 'oman, Sal weigs a hun dred and fifty." . No, she don t, sez the old oman "Yes, but I tell you she duz," sed the 'Squire, "Djn't she'Jeff!" "Yes ir-ee, she duz," sed Jeff.5 4I don,tb'lieve it," sed the old lady. "Well we'll weigh Sal ag'in,.and show you," seJ the 'Squire. "Oh! noy don't," sed Sal. "Whv not Sal?1 "Oh! case its sunday ses Sal. ' - "But I will, though," sed tho 'Squire. So eSal was strung up ag'in, and the 'Squire he balenc'd the still yards to the last kickup place and he commenced lookin over his specks and countin' his fingers " Jeff," sez he, how much is that" Jeff, he looked over the 'Squires shoulder. "One hundred and thirty-seven," "Yes," sez the 'Squire, "a hundred and thirty-sever.-." 'Thar now," scfc the old lady, XI io4 you Sal didn't weigh a hundred and fiif tv." ' " "Well how ofi yeth did we pake such a mistake?" sed the 'Squire. "I know," sez Kate, Sal's little sister. "Hush!" sed Sal, shakin' her fist at Kate., and turnin' as red as a beetjTin the face. .. "How!" sed the 'Squire. "Ef you do," sed Sal, "slompin' her foot. " . . . "But I will though," sed Kate.' "Yes, tell," sed the 'Squire. pSal has tuck her bitstle off!" Bring the campfire here, quick! Lost the Bet. A good looking and jovial friend of ours, a day or two since, related tn our nre&em-c mc iwnwi6. one of our first hotels, a stout red-faced( gentleman, in a white beaver, blue coat, and buff vest, offered to wager a "ten spot" that he; would close his eyes, and simplv by taste name any sort ojlirjuor in the' house.!
