" The world tnay seem brighter without,
*- With the glitter and tinsel of art;
And its friendships appear more devout,
With the semblance of truth to the heart,
But so sweet are the pleasures I share,
My heart feels no yearning to roam, ,
Since nothing on earth can compare
With the happiest of places, my home!
If sorrow o'er darkens ray way,
Till the heart wear a burden of grief,
And the friends I have trusted betray,
In the hour when most needing relief; I
From the anguish which tortures the mind.
To my own little heaveu I'll come,
In the smiles of my loved ones to find,
That the happiest of places is home.
"AintGot no Nails t"
We invite the lovers of fun to in
tie in the hearty laugh we are just
now having over the story, told by one
of our Northern contemporaries, of a
tall, gawky looking countryman, who,
during the height of the business sea- i
son last fall, walked into one of the
largest wholesale dry good houses on
Broadway, and entirely disregarding i
the invitation of the numerous salesmen
to inspect the latest patterns, strode
into the counting-room, where the
heads of the establishment were sitting
in close conversation. After taking
a cursory glance of the room, and
surveying attentively the faces of the
occupants he asked with an unctious
Yankee nasal twang:
"Say, yeou?got any nails?"
"Nails, sir, nails!" repeated the
most dignified Dombcy of the firm.
"No, sir, what should we do with
nails ?"
"Wal, I dunno?though may be
you mought. llaint you got no nails,
eh?"
"No, sir," replied Dombey again,
wity an emphasis, motioning to the
door.
The individual in search of nails

the counting-room In tarn, he asked
every clerk the same question, and
received the information from all, that
"nails" formed no part of the stock of
the establishment.
"Well" 6aid he, going towards the
door, "don't keep nailslier, no how !"
The principal salesman, whose dignity
was hurt by the idea that any one
should suppose that an establishment
where lie had a prominent place,
should keep nails, headed the countryman
off as lie was proceeding towards
the entrance, and asked him abruptly
what he wanted.
"Want" said the countryman as
cool as a cucumber, "I want to know
if you've got any nails ?"
"Nails, no sir. You have been told
again and again, that we've got no
nails? so you'd better go."
"Ain't got any nails, eli? Well,
then, just Took a here, mister, if yon
Ain't got no nails, what an awful fix
von'd be in if vou'd happen to have

The 8tokt is familiar of the man who ]
took passage in a flat-boat from Pittsburgh
bound for New Orleans. He '
passed many dreary, listless days on :
his way down the Ohio and Mississippi
and seemed to be desponding for
'want of excitement." Superficially,
he was quiet and inoffensive; practically,
he was perfectly good natui^l
and kindly disposed. In the course
of time, the crait. upon which ho was
a passenger put into Napoleon, in the
State of Arkansas, "for groceries."?!

The reply was prompt and to the
point: 5
"It ar, and it you wish to go in, don't ^

The wayfarer (fid "go in," and in j
less time than wo can relate the cir- ?j

A good old dame was playing her
distan, and listening devoutly to her
daughter reading iu the Bible at her
side. She was reading in the book of
Genesis, and being not vet perfect in
the art, she would now and then mis
call a word. So it chanced that she
read stamineringly these words :
"JNow tnese eight did Mi.call bore"
"What! what's that?'1 uaiil the old
lady, "read that again."
The good daughter complied, and,
looking more carefully, road "did
Milcah bear."
"Ah, that will do," said the old
mother, "they might milk a bear, but
to milk a boar, daughter, it is impossible."

No iiouse. says Henry Ward Beecher
is complete without two pieces of
furniture?the cradle and the old arm
chair. No 4iouse i9 full that hath not
in it a babe aud a grandfather or
grandmother. Life becomes more radiant
and perfect when its two extremes
keep along with it. Tho two loves
which watch the cradle and serve tho
parent aro one. But how different in
all their openings and actions. To
the child the heart turns with more
xmderness of love to the aged parent,
ove is home upon a service of rever;nce.

People arc becoming so terrified
now-a-days, that after awhile they
won't daro to drink anything. Temperance
folks say that brandy is nothing
but damnation in a fluid state,
while ale is only another name for
cocculus indicus "and tobacco steirfs.?
ine cnemists aro equally certain that
tea is not better then melted coppers,
that coffee is a mixture of cliiCKory
and logwood; while the very best well
water is so nnpregnanted with lime
that it ultimately converts one's intestines
into a marble quarry. In the
name of all that iR liquid what shall we
drink that won't "pizen" us ?
For the other half of a courting
match there is nothing like an inter
esting widow. Tere's as much difference
between courting a damsel and
an attractive widow as there is between
cyphering in addition and don
hie rule of three. Courting a girl is
like eating fruit, all very nice as far as
it extends; but doing the amiable to
a blue-eyed bereaved one in black
crape, comes under the head of preserves?rich
pungent, syrupy. For
rlelicious courting, we repeat, givs us
n live "widow."
Electiig chaplains in Congress is
now made a purely partisan affair.?
In the House, a writer describing the
iccne, sa\s : "I heard no one, in urging
reasons for the reception of his candidate,
ask favors for him on account of
his piety, his learning, or his eloquence;
the only reasons urged were political."
It is also said that in the event of the
election of any minister, whose talents,
learning, piety and respectability entitle
him to claim on tho place, he will
indignantly decline the profferod "honor."
Good hands,are commanding unprecedentedly
high prices in Richmond,
Va, at this time. The sales' book of
one house in the past month show that
as high as $1,650 have been paid in
some instances. There arc numerous
other instances where common field
hands brought over $1,850, and very
few (warranted perfectly healthy) below
$950. Girls in one or two cases
brought $1,350, and a large number
$1,200.

Popular Applaosb.?At a public meeting
in Marlboro', Boston, a week or two ago,
while a dull speaker was addressing the
meeting, frequent applause was heard to
proceed from the seat where sat the kind
Hearted Ur. , and though somewhat
against their grain, the andence joined in,
thereby encouraging him to continue talk*
ing at a most tedious rate, until, out of patience,
a friend of the physician went to hi in,
and good naturedly remonstrated with him.
The doctor assured him that it was not hira,
and on investigation, it proved to he a dog
scratching (Ail fleas ! The ooustant rapping
of his paw had led the applause throughout
the evening.

Monthly Periodical for all Evangelical
Denominations, Published in Richmond,

rpHE first number of this periodical was feJL
sued in May last, the object of which
is, in part, to cultivate a spirit of love and.
harmony among all evangelical denominations,
and to encourage their united efforts in
"every good word and work." The spirit
of sectarianism has, hitherto, in a great
measure, impeded the progress of Christianity,
and always will. Such aspirit, te a less
extent, however, is rife at the preeent time.
To suppress it, if possible, will be the constant
aim of this Magazine.
Refined literature, and the general causw
Its humanity, are embraced in its conlente
of contributors are all gentlemen of a*
knowledgedtalents and piety.
The friends of Christianity are earnmtlv
And respectfully solicited to give their united
support to this enterprise.
Any person who will procure tea subscriptions,
and collect and forward the
traount, shall receive a copy gratia, besides
i year's subscription to cither of the religious
papers published at the South. If'"twenty,
