Home's not merely four square walls, Tnoujjh with pictures hnnjr and gilded ; 3 lorn" is where affi-clion CiilU, Filled witli shrines the heart hath builded ! Home ! go watch the faithful dove — Siilinsj 'neath the heaven above us ; Home is where there's one to love ! Home is where there's one to love us!

Home's not merely roof nncl room ; It uocl* som.-t \ii\\f to en 'ear it. I3o"ie is where the heart, can blo-nn, Wi.eie there's some kind lip to c-hocr it ! What is home with none to meet- 1 None to welcome, none to greet us ! Home i? sweot, and only sweet, Wheie there's one we love to meot us I

Master of the house writing a letter — " My Dear Frijnd: "I cannot write you as freely as I would like' as my new secretary is impet-» tiuently looking over my shoulder ," Secxetary (indignnntk from the rear)—" I'm do-ng nothing of the kind, sir!" A Milan newspaper, the Si colo, is publish . ing tho Bible in 210 half-penny parrs of eight pj.^os each and 900 wood cuts. This is the fiist enterprise of the kind in Italy, and it has oheady achieved enormous success. A young lady had given a vnpid young mnn her photograph. ll e was enamoured of it, :inil made th« remark, ' Some day, with your permission, I shall plead for the possession of the lonely o iginal.' She replied, ' Then I shall qneTyou the negative.' A Philosopher asserts that the reason why ladies' teeth decay t-ooner than gen' lonian's is b»ean-»e of the friction of the tongue and. the sweetness of their lips " Would you take me for 20 3 ears ?" said a young ladv.wholooked much younaer. "Bless you, my child," said an admiring bachelor, "I would lake you for life." A contempou>ry says:— A ontribufrr sends us aVi account of a transaction so honihle that he i'orbeais to relate it in plain English, but ?i«ksfor someoue else to take that responsibility. As, however, thoi 0 is nothing libellous in it «ye will gladly pub-ji«-h the true translation if any reader will kindly forward it. " Mrs — : — away, while cleaning the hon^e, asked her husband to nail up some [ [ ; he refused. ; she looked f f at Him ; told him his lifew-i^ ■without |, and beat him with her £gT li'l he s«i\v °c .

He describes himself as a smart cleik, but, it seems,' is not psu ticular as to the character of the employment that may be piovided for him. At the same time it must be assumed that genteel employment is meant, Aye, 'tis the old, old, stoiy of a one-handed man who can't turn his hand to anvtlnng on a pinch. Genteel employment, without anything approaching genetality is the Inne of thousand". And " clerking," unless a sound knowledge of rommei ce goes hand in hand with it, is the most dismal of all occupations. lls votaries, indeed, have a restricted o-itlork. But clerking with commercial aptitude and proficiency in shorthand is a sterling occu pation and seldom fails him who puisnes it if he runs " straight" and intelligently. If " smart eleik " does Jnot get suited and has pluck and muscle, I would strongly recommend him to try a country life. Tiy his hand nt bush-felling or something of the kind, and so grndnnlly work into small farming ; there are clerks in galore, but not half enough agjiculturists. Now is the time, my boys, to "collar" land' in New Zealand, if you can only manage to stick to it.

" ADVERTISING,"

said the "Right Honorable "W". E. Gladstone, speaking apropos of this subject, "is umloubteiily very effective. Its power is enormous. It appears, if we consult those who have madesuccessful use of this extraordinary instrument, that it depends wholly in producing 1 an impression 1 upor, the public mind by its ifce'-ation or by constant repetition of the same thing. This shows a very singular state of the public mind ; it shows there is relative to- these matters a certain amount of dullness, a great desire to compete for attention, and none get it unless by giving, as it were, so many strokes of the hammer to compel people to notice what is going on."
