Marian stepped lightly to a small Island,

flowers on it in a little china vase, filling the
vase with water from the ice-pitcher; then,
moving to the window, let down the curtain,
shading my eyes from the light, and paused
behind my chair.
She stood looking down at me for a mo-

About Home Matters.
I An article by Rev. Theodore Cuyler in a.
lateyIndependent on “Home Joys," contains
a. passage so in keeping with a favorite idea
of our readers:
“I am a firm believer in the moral and
in the house a common family rendezvous;
attraction than a black hole in the floor,
terranean furnace. Men will fight for their
altars and their firesides; but What orator
ever invoked a burst of enthusiasm in be-
half of steam pipes and registers? I never
beside the hickory fire of a rural farm-house.
I n the words of Whittier’s finest American
id yl,
“ ‘ We piled with care our nightly stack
Of wood against the chimney back,
And filled between with curious art.
The rugged brush; then hovering near
We watched the first red blaze appear,
Heard the sharp crackle, caught the gleam
On whitewashed wall and sagging beam,
Until the old rude-furnished room
Burst, flower-like. into rosy bloom.’
“ I urge my congregation to devote a few
extra dollars every year to the maintenance
of an open fire. No investment pays better
in domestic enjoyment."
The problem of how to make home at-
tractive is one of the greatest importance to
everyone. The home life of a family exerts
more influence upon its members than any
other single instrumentality. If parents
make home a clieerless, sombre place, it Will
for them is cold and unsubstantial. The
j‘ollity which nature requires for youth out-
side it. And people fail to apprehend often—
_f a home depends. It should above all
things be bright and cheerful. The sitting-
room should have all the windows in it that
can possibly be, so that in the day time the
place will be bright; and at night the room
should be always Well lighted. Sidney
ness is a blazing fire; not merely a great
ugly black stove, but a: fire whose blaze can
be seen and felt by everybody in the room.
In old times, when our ancestors lived in the
great kitchens of the New England farm-
house, with liuge old fireplaces taking up al-
most one side of the room,and around which
the whole [Euii'ily used to sit in the long
Winter nights, there was a hearty love of
home acquired, and it is a noticeable fact
who look back to this period, those great
open fires seem to always form the centre of
the picture Wl ich rises up in their memory.
We, in our iversal Yankee shrewdness,
have invented all sorts of stoves and ranges
and furnaces, which are cheaper doubtless,
but which make no central point around
which everybody in the family may gather.
Mr. Cuyler states a deep truth when he says
“ there must be somewhere in the house a
common family rendezvous.”
While we are upon this subject we wish to
say that While there are many ,means which
may be employed to render home delightful,
with which every parent is familiar, it seems
to us that the amusement which wears the
best is reading aloud. There is somethin
unsociahle in the silence necessary for pri-
vate reading. The practice of reading aloud
affords the sociability of conversation, and
the conversation is by the great men of all
ages of the world. It affords a common
subject of thought and of interest to all the
listeners; and allows the carrying on of
those light employments which the ladies in
all families find it necessary to be always
engaged upon.
‘ The cultivation of a taste for readingis
almost a positive virtue. By it, one is sure
of always finding friends wherever books
can be obtained. Southey’s verses upon his
library expresses this idea in a very striking
way:
u (1 r as ,
Mi?£3a“$.°l°t‘éi%fi§“ “ e p “d
Where’er these casual eyes are cast,
The mighty men of old,
My never falling friends arethey,
With whom I converse night and day,"
The dark days which come to every man
at some time,rcveal how dead to him are
those with whom he comes in daily contact.
Fortunate is he who, in such straits, can
turn to his favorite authors, and converse
with them in a never-failing friendship. '
«0-40——
Senator Orris S. Ferry, of Connecticut,
Who commenced his official career on Mon
day, was born at Bethel, and is now forty-
four years of age. He graduated at Yale
College in 1844, and was admitted to the bar
in 1846. He was a representative in the
Thirty-sixth Congress, and during the war
entered as Colonel of a Connecticut regi-
ment, subsequently receiving promotion to
the rank of brigadier-general.
WThe foregoing is a brief and correct
notice of the new Senator of Connecticut.
As a once familiar acquaintance, we may
add to it, that he readlsw in Norwalk
with Ho. T. B. Butler, once a member of
Congress, and now a Judge of the Supreme
Court of the State. Mr. Ferry is a man of
much intellectual ability. This showed it“
self in the beginning of his professional ca-
reer by the stand he took beside the matured
and best legal minds of the Fairficld ccunty
bar—such men as Ex-Gov. Howley, Gov.
D'utton, &c. The severest labors of the stu-
dent never deterred him from the prepara-
tion of his cases, and the thorough and
complete familiarity with their bearings, and
the power of his arguments and elocution
commanded the attention of‘ the bench and
bar, as well as litigants and auditors. In
every case he proved himself master of the
situation. We are not aware that he ever
became satisfied with his attainments. He
has been a growing man, until his practice
had become very heavy and extensive. To
all this he adds the quality of moral recti-
tude, and enters upon his duties in the Sen-
ate as a Christian statesman. Unlike his
predecessor, he is a positive man, discrimi-
noting, firm, and of true manly indepen-
dence. We have the fullest. assurance that
he will continue to be, as be has been, an
able defender of the right, and that in due
time he will take his place among the very
foremost men of the natiou.—Ashtabula

TASTE 1N Assassins FLOWERl.-—-0f all
the various mistakeswhich are made hyper-
sons in arranging flowers, the commonest is
that of putting too man in a visa; and
next to that is the mists e of putting too
great a variety of colors into one bouquet.
Every flower in a group should be easily
distinguishable and determinable without
pulling the nosegay to pieces; thecal of
a clove pink should never be hid by; '

Sweet peas never look so well in the hand
as they do on the bougha over which they
climb, because they cannot be carried with-

foliage so generally useful for all purposes of
