THE THREE HOMES. 

 ' Where is t!iy liome ?* I asked a child, 



Wlio, in tlie morning air, 

 Was twinin;; fla'.vci's most sweet and wild, 



In garlands for her Ijair. 

 * My home,* the hitppy heart rc])!icd. 



And smiled in childish glee, 

 ' Is on the sunny mountain's side, 



Where soft winds wander free.' 

 0, blessings I'all on ai'lless youilj, 



And a'l its rosy hours. 

 When every word is Joy and truth. 



And treasures live in flowers. 



' Where is thy home ?' I asked of one. 



Who bent with flushing face, 

 To hear a lover's tender tone 



In the wild wood's secret place. 

 She spoke not, but her varying cheek 



The tale nii>;ht well impart ; 

 The home lor a young spirit meek 



Was in a kindred heart. 

 Ah ! souls, that well might soar above. 



To earth will fondly cling, 

 And build their hopes on humau love, 



That light and fragile thing. 



'Where is thy home, then lonely man r' 



I asked a pilgrim gr?y, 

 Who came with furrowed brow and wan. 



Slow marching on his way. 

 He paused, and with a solemn niiun. 



Upturned his holy eyes, 

 ' The land I seek t!)ou ne'er hast seen, 



MY home is in the skies!' 

 ! blest, thrice blest ! the heart must be. 



To whom such thoughts are gi- en. 

 That walks from worldly fetters free ; 



Its only home is heaven. 



NATIVE SILKWORMS. _^ 



We are informed that a lady near Georgetown, 

 D. C lias a couple of coeoonsof the native silk- 

 worm, of 90 extraordinary a size tliat a description 

 of them and the fly that has come out of them is 

 deemed worthy of publication. The cocoon is 

 fully as large as a turkey's egg, and resembles that 

 of the common silkworm, in other respects, ex- 

 cept in the fibre, which looks like flax. The fly 

 is very beautiful, and very large, the size of a wren. 

 Its antenna? are black, leg.s and back red, body 

 striped. It measures between the extremities of 

 its wings six inches. We sliouM be glad to ob- 

 tain tlie flies for preservation ; and if tlicy shall 

 Iiave produced eggs a few would be very accepta- 

 ble. — American Farmer. 



Intemperance. — The following information is 

 derived from an examination of the records of the 

 office of the county clerk of Rensselaer, and has 

 been conmiunicateil by the clerk : 



That during the year 1830, 70.5 paupers have 

 received public-charity at the exi)eji3eof S7S71 13; 

 and that from an .accurate investigation, nine 

 tenths of the expen.liture was traced to the use 

 of ardent spirits; so that the county durin"- the 

 year has been put to the expense of §7084 ^25 to 

 support its drunkard.s or paupers thrown upon the 

 public by tirunkenness, while only ,'^787 13 ! has 

 been re.piircd for the support of all others, claim- 

 ng public charity from old age or providential 

 iinability — Ontario Rochester.

Good advice. — The following advice from Mad- 

 ame Terein, a lady of great literary attainments, 

 g-iven to Marmoiitel, when a young man, with res- 

 pect to authorship, should be a perpetual lesson 

 to writers by profession. ' Secure yourself,' said 

 slie, 'a livelihood independent of literary successes, 

 and put into this lottery only the overplus of your 

 time;forwo to liim who de|iends only on bis ])en I 

 Nothing is more casual. The man wdio makes 

 shoes is sure of his wages : but a man who writes a 

 book, or a tragedy, is never sure of anything. ' — 

 Life of Marmonitl. 



The dearest is always the best. — In the western 

 part of Massachusetts, where oak abounds, pine 

 IS preferred and generally used in constructing 

 pumps for wells; in this part of the State where 

 pine can readily be procured, oak, which it is very 

 difficult to obtain, is esteemed the best r.-nd com- 

 monly used for that purpose. — Barnstable Journal. 



A fari'iier having lost bis lior.se and cart in New 

 York, jiinned a sheet of paper on his back, and 

 another in front, displaying ' Lost my horse and 

 cart.' A crowd followed him, and he liad not gone 

 far before he heard of his property.
