That sweet home of my childhood, ji With its singing brooks and birds ; Jf The.friends who irrew besides me, With their loving looks and words; 4 The flowers that decked the wildvrood. The roses fresh and sweet, ? Tho blue bells and the daisies, That blossom at ray feet?

The Danokr From Lightning.? Danger from lightning, experience shows, is less in a crowded town than in a village or in the open country, and natura'ly the most elevated structure is liable to be struck. Fuller, indeed, in his "Church History," asserts thai/tliere scarcely ever existed a great abbey in England which has not been, at one time or other, wholly or partially destroyed by lightning, and his citations, taken in comparison with our own times, are certainly remarkable. In all ca-cs, it is the spire, the tower of the dome which has been mutilated- As to ordinary habitations, all sorts of theories are in vogue on the subject of danger and safety. Some rely on their glass in the windows, and some on their register stove; others recomtnand stone roofs instead of slate; atrd others tell timid people that they must live in a hollow. It is contend eil on this side mat tncre snouiu uu the least possible admixture of metal |in the combination of an inhabited I structure; and on that, that all bells beneath the roof be kept continually singing just as, in obedience to an old superstition, cannons are fired at sea. The ma-'s of evidence on this topic point, however, to the one conclusion already suggested, that a good lightning conductor is the solifary safeguanjl, but that unless good, is worse than none, * ,o* The Mania For Relics.?A Boston correspondent tells the following: Mark Twain, in one of his articles, speaks of the lady who treasures a precious slice of bread from which Dickens had taken a bite. This sounds liL-n t twi hnrlftsnon hut the following anecdote, which is literally, true! and illustrates many peoples foolish' desire for relics, shows that Twain was hardly burlesquing in his c??ay. The jast limy that jir. Dickens wi^ftt this coa tablo of the hotel wteTcTOSt^ I ping. When he had eaten his egg he [dropped the empty shell into his eggjenp, auditor finishing his breakfast, he left tise table. As soon a^ho had gone a lady who Hair next to him arose, and taking up t^io cup, went to the hotel proprietor and offered to purchase it of* him at any [irtCe and ifie broken shell, iff now kept by her as a souvenir of the gieat novelist. " ? - -< * * Danger r rom Eating Nuts.?As this is the season for drinking cider and eatinir nuts, is may not be amiss to give ii bint which may be useful. Medjt | cal ihen adviser! that salt should be taken \ with-nuts, especially when they are eatien at night. Ope time, says a writer, 1 while enjoying a visit from Englishman hickory nuts weve served in the evening, when mv English friend called for salt, stating that Lc kue"V of a case of a woman eating lieartily Of nuts in the evenling who was taken violently ill. The ! celebrated Dr. Abernathy was agnt?forr i but it was after he had become too lond of his cup, aud he was not' in. condition to go. He muttered, "iSalt! salt!" of which uo notice was taken. Next morning he went to the place and she was a corpse. He said had they given her salt it would have relieved her; if they would allow him to make an examination he woulp convince them. On opening the stomach the nuts were found ill a mass. ne spniiKiea ran ou iujs and it immediately dissolved. I have known of a sudden death myself which appeared to bo from the same cau&.

His mediativo air a? he walks up and down the alleys, his closely !shaven face, well-furrowed with wrinkles, his stiff, black cravat,, long coat |and slouch hat, give him the air of some old Lutheran minister preparing his j Sun day surtnon. At 7 the marshal commences a general round of inspection {through the stables, granary, mills, and j distillery, until lie arrives at the oreharli, I where he loves to linger, knife in hand, now pricing some unruly brauch, or |anon removing dead twigs.

(Then he runs through his correspondence. talking follows, or a drive to | some neighbor, and th& return does not | take place until 8 O'clock for tea. On j Sundays alone he abstains from work, ; but afte' going to church he spends the remuwi.ng hours among his workmen and laborers in pious readings, for he is sinccrfely religious. Often at night he ' visits his wife's tomb, which is conceal ed by a row of cypresses, on a hillock in I fKtk noi<b Kim rlirwl nn tho rilip|flhnoQ n'ght of 16GG.
