Is there a placVthat can impart
Blest visions, t* the aching heart?
Is there a plaie whose image dear -
Can soothe oar grief, dispel our fear!
That plicc is home.
Thc exile, Ai far distant climes,
Oft. oft rim mbers by-gone times,
And o'er whatever land kc roves,
" Remenbers still th? land ho loves- '
Remembers home.
Whatever hardships be otu1 lot,
?til'home's the treasure of the heart;
Whatever can our bosoms cheer,
?\\7iatover we regard- as dear,
Is found in home, sweet home.
Tile Unhappy Replj-.
' 'I do not think it a selfish act if I
occupy this whole seat myself, as I
am to travel all this long day," said I
to a lady nearest mo, one? sultry morn?
ing, as I took the out-of-the-way end
seat in the cars at Bat?alo for Albany.
"Certainly not," way the reply, asl
put my shawl, hooks, papers, fan,
bouquet, &c., in the onau'iid, and nes?
tled myself down on *Wie other. I
soon wearied of conversation and
reading, and had sunk into a fitful
?. slumber, when a gentle tap on my
shoulder, anda "Please, miss!" made
me wake with a sudden start.
The car was filled to overflowing,
and a newly-arrived party had entered,
ami a pale little woman, with a fretful
iby in her arms, stood asking per
ission to sit beside nie,. With more
of pity than of pleasure, I shared my
?*?at with her, yet I spoke, hut few
ords, and sulkily forebore taking the
estless little creature to ease her poor,
wearied arms; but I merely smoothed
its yellow hair and its pale, baby
cheeks, and said Mary was a good and
sweet name.
For my own comfort, I had opened
? the window, that I might more dis
BEtenetlv catch those picturesque views,
that flitted by so rapidly that they
seemed like glowing pictures, without
one imperfection to mar, when my at?
tention was drawn to my companion,
who was incessantly coughing.
"I do wish you would let down that
window," said she. "The ebal smoke
makes my cough so much worse."
I am ashamed to confess it now, but
I felt the angry blood burn in my
cheek, ?md a flashing of the eyes, as I
replied:
"I am quite sick, and wearied, and
troubled, and hungry, and thirsty,
and crowded, and here you come as
an intruder and keep me from the mite
of cool, fresh air that I am trying to
get. Do you think you are doing as
you would be. done by?" said I, tartly;
and without waiting for a reply, I
rose and was letting down the window
with an angry crash, as a naughty
child would slam a door shut, when
she laid her poor wasted little hand on
my arm, and said:
"Oh, don't do it then!" and burst
into tears, and leaned her head down
on her baby, and cried bitterly.
The woman in my heart was touch
'ed; but putting on the injured air of
a martyr, I compressed my lips, and
took up a paper, pretending to read
Pretty soon my eyes grew dimmed..
* I could not see without crushing thc
tears often, and I resolved to ask par?
don for my unkindness; but minute
after minute glided away, and we soon
reached her place of destination, and
she rose to leave. I rose, too, and tim
words were on my lips, when a gen?
tleman came to assist her out.
She turned her gentle, tearful eyes
upon me with a sad expression, and
bowed so sweetly that my hand was
almost upraised foi' the. forgiveness
the words were just dropping from my
hps-but she was gone, lt was too
late; and I, a woman, with a woman's
heart, was left with that stinging- little
barb sticking in it, and. che gwent
words and wasted little hand that
could remove it, were gone from nu?
forever. I sank back in my scat and >
wept bi tterly. ?
Thc gentleman returned from assist?
ing her, and as the,car was full, he
took up the place she had vacated. I
inquired who tho lady was, and he
replied :
"Her home is in Wisconsin, and
she has returned to the home of her
childhood, to die. The. whole family
of brothers and sisters died of con?
sumption, and she, the last omi left, is
going too."
Oh! I turned away sick at heart and
tried to shut out from remembrance
that pallid, appealing face, as ? re?
solved, and re-resolved, never again in
this poor life of mine to speak an un?
kind word.-Ohio Fanner.
A man who practiced somewhat at
the bar of a suloon, asked a lady why
she was so fond of peeping into a
looking-glass. "Sir," said she, "the
glasses that I look into help me to
improve my appearance, while those
you loch into injure .yours,"
. Bifotfif' ?STD TKB^LOED'^ .PRATER.
. JuniuscBrutus Booth (the fatherof J.
Wilkes' Booth) rand several friends had
been invited to dine with an old man
.in Baltimore, of <hstinguished kind?
ness, urbanity and piety. The host,
though dibapprovhigof theatregoing,
had heard so much of Booth's re?
markable powors, that curiosity to see
the man, in thi3 instance,, overcame
his prejudice. After the dinner was
over, some one requested Booth, as a
particular favor, and one which all
present would appreciate, to read the
Lord's prayer.
Booth rose slowly and reverently
from his chair. It was wonderful to
watch the play of emotion that con?
vulsed his countenance. Hc*bccanie
deadly pale, and Iii;* eyes, turned
tremblingly upward, were .wet with
tears. As- yet, he hadV TO4V" spoken.
The silence could be felt. "?t be came
painful, until at last the spell was
broken, .as if ?by an electric shock, as
a rich toned voice from the white lips
syllabled forth. "Our Father who art
in Heaven," with a pathos aud solem?
nity that thrilled all hearts. He
I finished-the silence continued. Not
i a voice was heard, or a muscle moved,
in his rapt audience, until from a re?
mote corner of the room a subdued
sob was heard, and thc old mun, their
host, stepped forward with streaming
eyes and seized Booth by the hand.
"Sir," said he, in broken accents,
"you have afforded me a pleasure for
which my whole future lifo will feel
grateful. I am an old man, mid every
(lay from boyhood to the present
time, I thought tftat I hud repeated
the Loni's Brayer, hut I have never
heard it before-never." Von ure
right," said Booth. "To road that
prayer as it should be read, has caused
me the severest study and labor foi
! thirty years, and I am far from being
satisfied with my rendering of that
wonderful production. Hardly ont
person in ten thousand comprehends
how much beauty, tenderness ami
grandeur can be. condensed into a
space so small and words so simple.
The prayer itself sufficiently illus
trates the truth of thc Bible, am"
stamps upon it the seal of Divinity.'
Ho great was the effect produce?]
that conversation was sustained but :
short time longer in subdued mono
syllables, and almost entirely ceased
and soon after, nt an early hour, tin
company broke up and retired to t imi:
