Home.—Some is what \ye ipnlje it. It may be a saored refuge, or it may bo a mere place to call for breakfast and dinner, and a shelter for the sleeping hours when there is nothing abroad to keep men awake. It may be destitute of attractions—a tolerated spot, instead of a coveted haven. If this be the case, tbs fault is with those who by their own conduct make it unjnyiting. Home may be a mere prison, well furnished or otherwise, for the women of the household, while the men look abroad for their interests and diversions. If the women do break bounds sometimes and find their amusements abroad, what truant husband has a right to blame a truant wife ? And, when husbands and wives are ren,agates, who need be surprised that the children prefer ‘‘ all outdoors ” to all that they can find indoors ? Tenders are wanted for roofing the Commercial Hotel at Te Awamntu. It is announced that the next show of the Waikato Horticultural Society will bo held ftt; Hapiijtpp on 17th March next. Oojf.—'What kind of shot never made a wound, yet is often the cause of dyeing?— Shot silk.
