"Our dwelling place "?our home. What u l?enu iful ligor-e is here used, to bring to view, ns it were, the resting place of the people of (Jod. Home, O sweet home, llow many sing of sweet home. And though it ' an humble abode, their hearts leap at tho thought, when fairway. ltut what msko* hotne so sweet ? There are our Isest friends? those who sympathise with, and tender Ij love us, and who are ever ready to ;rive us a hearty greeting when we return. There are those we most tenderly love. And it is love that makes home happy.- It is thia return of affection that make* us sigh after it, in all our weary wandorings. Thcro is a thought of rest, and safety in tho idea of home. Tho weary pilgrim on a distant hill, is invigorated with fresh str jngth, if his distant home is seen in tho*distance. And but a thought of it will enable him to press forward in his journey and Itear with patience the storms and diflicnlties that come upon hint. The .toil will soon end, and home will make amends for all. '80 of the people of God. I11 heaven God dwells, lie is their dwelling place. In Uiin is rest and safety." There aro their best ftiehds. Multitudes are there who love them, and are waiting to give them n joyful greeting, when they shall arrive in aafety there. Through all their pilgrimage, . and in evoiy trial their thoughts Jy homeward, and heavenward. YVeaiied and toilworn, the thought of home, that resting place, inspires them with courage and patience. Timo and toil will soon end, and tliev will rest in that loved heme. Once mo?e, the Rweetness is occasioned not only bv the presence of friends, but the absence of foes. Should a man's farn!y becotr.e Ms foes?then the sweetness of home would be lost. But this is a rare exception. In the heavenly home, no fee can ever intrude. No sentinel is needed thero. Sin and Satan, and every evil disposition and vile affection is forever shut out. And even here, while longing after hi* home, how mr.ny precious communications from above cheer intn l>y the way, like loving ~wpi)tlo* from the homo. of the lone pilgrim.

[ Christian Mirror. r~ ? , What Makes a Kant [ A man never knows a hat bo Is capable of until he has tried bis powers.? i There seems to be no bounds to human capacity. Insight, energy, nnd will, produeo astonishing results, llow often modest talent, driven hy circumstances to undertake some formidable work, has felt its own uutiicJ and hitherto unconscious power ruling up to grapple nnd to master, and afterward stood amazed at its own unexpected success. Those circumstances, those people, : i r.! i .1 - -i cireniin juki menus, inai provowe lis to any noble undertaking, are our greatest hem factors. Opposition nnd perseeulion do more for a man. tban any seemingly g axl fortune. The sneers of critics develop tho latent fire of the young poet. Tho anathemas of the angry Git in eli inflame the zeal of the reformer. Tyranny,threats, fnggOts,fortnrc, rise up heroes and innrlyrs, who might otherwise have slept aivay slothful and thoughtless lives, never dreaming what splendid acts ami words lay buried in I heir bosoms. And who knows but the wrongs of society are permitted because of the fine gold which is beaten out of the crude ore of humanity ? Here is the truth worth considering. Are you in poverty ? Have you sullered wrong ? Do circumstances oppose you 1 Are you beset by enemies ? jNow is your* time. Never lie there depressed and melancholy. Spend no more time in idle whining. Up like a lion! Make no complaint, hut if difficulty fight you, roar your defiance. You are at school, this is your necessary discipline, poverty nnd pain nio your masters?use ihe powers God has given you, am! you shall be master at last. Fear of failure is the most fiuitfdl cause of failure.? Stand firm, and you will not fall.? What seems failure at first is a discipline. Accept the lessons; trust the grand result ; up and up again ; strike and strike again, and you shall always gain, whatever tho forluuo of to day's or to-morrow's battle. Tiiky auk Passino Away.?They are passing nwav. Amid die busy scenes of life wo are ofien made to realize the shortness of this existence, by l>eing called to part with some dear fiiond. To-dav, we see a circle of friends in perfect health?joyous by the prospect of long life; their only thought is for this world, nnd the happiness in store for tliem. Put alas! their hopes are vain. To morrow, death?that silent messenger?enters that hapnv circle, and one of their number, with high Ill'l'fro IW1U CA JJCI'IHIIUII*, 19 cut UUW II, 10 be seen upon eanh no mow. Look upon that happy family, now seated around ihe home fireside: they know not tlie meaning of llio words "care and sorrow "?will it ever bo thus? Again we visit them ; but now they gaze in mufc despair upon the inanimate form of their darling. Death has visited tlint fainilv, and taken the flower of the household, the youngest form in that lit le flock. Surely now they must truly realize the force of that short sentence?they are pasting away. Come with me to the death lied of the Christian. His family are gathered around hiui, atul arc listening for the Irfst lime to his words of instruction ! llark ! he is imploring them to put no value on the fleeting things of this world, but place their trunt on high.

Mr. Y akcky's SrKKcrt.?An immense assemblage greeted Mr. Yancey, upon the occasion of his first nppearnnco before the people of New York, last night. Notwithstanding the high expectations which had heen raised by ,thc Southern press, relative to the oratory of the eloquent Alahatnian, wp will venture to say that no one was disappointed. and that no speaker at Cooper Institute ever before made a deeper impression on his audience. The speech held the people spell bound for two hours, and roused axi enthusiasm that was almost impossible to repress in order to permit the speaker to proceed. Mr. Yaneey was bold and manly in the expression of his opinions. Our readers will see that he made no equivocation on the question of secession. His; exposition of the commercial relations hot ween the sections was characterized with cogent reasoning and unrefutable facts and figures. His appeal to the Union-loving men of New York to step forward at once, and save the confede racy by beating hack the coming torrents of fanaticism, was expressed in eloquent terms, and brought forth an enthusiastic response from his hearers. The ptiiited report of the speech, though it chi)not give with it the clenr end pleasing voice and graceful style of the orator, will bo found well worthy of (>erusal.?New York Day Book. " A IIint to Tobacco Users."?This hurtful and tillhy practice deserves no sympathy,?not a whit-more titan liquor drinking, lint we would not have its victims poison themselves outright.? See what Dr. IlalJ says about the wood as sold in certain lead foil packages: ' ''It haa become very common to iu vest chewing-tobacco and snuff in lendfoil, llerr llockel examined some snuff from a quantity, pat t of which had been used by a patient who was laboring under a severe attack of lead poisoning, and found that it contained two and a half per cent of metallic load. The tobacco near llie corners of the package, being more peifectly inclosed by the foil, contained the most lead, which, is decomposed by dampness and remains in the tobacco or snuff in the form of carbonato of lead, which is the white lead paint of commerce, which inflicts such horiiblo sufferings on many of those whose busi ness compels them to work in it. The slaves of the disgusting " weed"' would do well to tnnke a note of this, and abandon the inexcusable flllbiness or avoid using any that is enveloped with lead foil."

ITomk Like.?If home life is well ordered, the children having according ! to age, woiking time, play time, books, games, and household sympathies, they will love homo and find pleasure there. Give the little ones slates and pencils, and encourage their attempts to make pictures.

Have them lead to each other stories and paragraphs of your selection, nod save the funny things and pleasant ones you see in papers and hooks, to read to thein at your pleasure. You cannot imagine I how much it will please them, and how it will hind them to you. Hut choose 1 well for thorn; for the impressions | made on their minds now will last When the- hills crumble.

Means.?Tho power of money is, on the whole, over estimated. The greatest things which have been done for. the world have n.?t been ac compiished by rich men,or by subscription lists, but by men generally of small pecuniary means. Christianity was j propagated over half the world by men of ihe poorest class; and the greatest thinkers, discoverers, inventors and arlists, have been of luodcrnto wealth, many of lligip little, raised above the condition of manual laborers in noirt [of worldly circumstances. And ii will j always be so. Riches are ofiener nn impediment than a stimulus to action, | and in many cases they arc quite as j much a misfortune as a blessing. The youth who inherits wealth is apt to have life made loo easy fur him, and he soon grows sated with it, because he has nothing left to desire. Having no special object to struggle for, lie iinds time bangs heavily on his hands; he remains mot ally and spiiilual'y asleep; and his position in society is often no higher than that of a polypus over which the tide floats.
