Beginning at Home. There is nothing of greater importance to America than her private homes. — Tliese are tl.c broad foundations upon which all that is noblest and best in her institutions is built. Here lies the germ of all that is great in statesmanship, literature, science, commerce and reforms. — Whatever a man is in after life dates back directly or indirectly to the conditions or influences of his childhood. The harmonious and virtuous parantage, or the inheritance of perverted passions; early impressions, the lessons of self-reliance; unwise parental indulgence; idleness, love hatred, habits of industry, the picturebook, the news-paper; all of these are as streams, of greater or less magnitude, which pour their waters into the river of the future man. Pure orimpure, of such as these, life is made up. Every act of tenderness, every act of meanness or injustice every word, whether gentle or unkind, low 01 loud, soft or sharp, which the parent indulges in presence of the child, leaves its indelible stamp. The heart of childhood is. ‘Wax to receive, and marble to retain.’ And there are influences more subtle than those we have named. There are moral atmospheres, elevating or pernicious.— The fathers character, the mother’s sentiment, though never expressed in words, magnetise the whole family with their mysterious power. Children assimilate to the world about them; they become like vawns. are catching. Tones of voice, the lines of the face, the glances out of the eyes, indicate character; and in unconsciously imitating these, the child assumes the disposition of trait that gives rise to them. If we were half as careful in bringing our own offspring into the world, and taking proper care of it, as farmers are in breeding and rearing stock, we should see astonishing results. Doctors would soon fall in disuse. Ministers would no longer find unanswerable arguments to favor their doctrine of total depravity. Children would be well born. They would soon have as good natural blood as calves and colts. Then holiness of life would not commence with regeneration, but with generation. Our homes then, wc repeat, are of primal importance to America. The seed that is sown here makes the harvest of the state. There is not a corrupt politician, not a traitor in the capital, whose knavery docsnot reach back to the influence of some vice in bis education, in his early associations, in his birth, or purchance in the birth of those who gave him birth.— For the taint of vice is like the seeds which remain hidden for unknown periods in the earth, waiting for the first favorable influences to burst forth from darkness unto the light of day. Here are thoughts for reformer. Are we not taught that the one great, true work of reform begins with the family ?-- To childhood, and before childhood, the remedy is to be applied. Reform, like charity, commences at home. And thus wc make every man and woman a reformer. It is of little moment, comparatively what doctrines arc intellectualy taught or who bawls from the platform or pulpit; vour own character, your own thoughts, words, deed, your private influence, arc of the first importance, A Capital Story. Some years since, an eccentric old genius, whom for convenience we shall call Barnes, was employed by a farmer living in a town some six or seven miles westerly from Penobscot river, to dig a well.— The soil and subslalum being mostly sand, old Barnes, after having progressed downward about forty feet, found one morning upon going to work that the well had essentially caved in and was full nearly to the top. So having the desire which men have of knowing what will be said of them after they are dead, and no one being astir, he concealed himself in a rank groth of burdocks by the side of a board fence near the mouth of the well, having first left his hat and frock upon the windlassover the well. At length a boy was dispatched to call him to bis meal, when lo* and behold! it was seen that Barnes was buried in the grave unconciously dug by his own hands. The alarm being given and the family assembled, it was decided first to cat breakfast and then to send for the minister, his wife and children, and the coroner. Such apathy did not flatter Barnes’ self-esteem n bit, but he waited patiently, determined to hear what was to be said, and what was to be done, «.1., .ill rva**LuAc umvril untl liotrnn X ivovmit «»»• ......x-k- •••• — — ‘prospecting’ the scene of the catastrophe, as people usually I'J in such cases. At

length they drew togeter to exchange opinions as to what should bo done, — The minister at once gave it as his opinion that they had better level up the well ' and let Barnes remain; for said he, ‘he , is now beyond the temptation of sin, and in the day of judgement it will make no difference whether he is buried five feet under the the ground or fifty, for he is bound to come forth in either case.’ The coroner likewise agreed that ‘it would be a needless expense to his family or them to disinter him when he was so effectually buried,’ and therefore, entively coincided with the minister. His wife thought that ‘as he had left his hat and frock, it would bo hardly worth while to dig him out for the rest of his cloths;’ and so it was Settled to let Lim remain.—But poor old Barnes, who had no breakfast, was not all | pleased with the inquest, laid quiet until the shade of evening stole over the land- ' scape, then he quietly decamped to parts j unknown.

After remaining incognito for about • three years, one morning he suddenly ap--1 peared (hatless and frockl<*ss as he went) at the door of the farmer fur whom be had ! agreed to dig the unfortunate well. To | say that an avalanche of questions were rianed on him as to his mysterious re-ap-pearancc, &c.’ would convey but a feeble ! idea of the excitement which his bodily j presence created. But the old man bore ’it all quietly, and at length informed them that on finding himself buried, he waited i for them to dig him out, until his patience was exhausted, when he set to work to dig himself out and only the day before had succeeded; for his ideas being tome--1 what confused by the pressure of the I earth at the time he was buried’ he had dug very much at random, and instead of coming directly to the surface he came ' out in the town of Holden six mites east ' of the Penobscot river. No further explanations were saught for by those who were so distressed and sorrowful over his supposed final resting place. The Liar. “The wretch that often has deceived, Though truth he speaks is ne’er believed.” When Aristotle was once asked, what I a man could gain by uttering falsehoods, he repleid—‘Not to be credited when he ’ shall tell the truth.’ The character of a 1 liar is at once so hateful and contemptible, ■ that even of those who have lost their virtue it might be expected, that from the j violation of truth they should be restrain'ed by their pride. Almost every other | i vice that disgraces human nature may be i ■ kept in countenance by applause and as-I I sociation. The liar, and only the liar, is I invariably and universally despised, abani doned and disowned: he has no domes- | tic consolations which he can oppose to the censure of mankind; he can retire to no fraternity where bis crimes may stand in the place of virtues; but is given up to the hisses of the multitude, without friend and with out apologist. It is the peculiar condition of falsehood to be equally detested by the good and bad: ‘The devils, says Sir Thomas Brown, ‘do not tell lies of one auothei; for truth is necessary to all societies, nor can the society of hell subsist without it.’

A Valuable Opinion. Mrs. Washington, the wife of him who was ‘first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,' used to say, ‘lt is perhaps more desirable that young ladies should play, sing, and dance, only so well as to amuse themselves and their friends, than to practice these arts iu so eminent a degree as to astonish the public; because a great apparent attention trivial accomplishments is liable to give a Suspicion that more valuable nut| uioit iuuo have been neglected. And as they consist in an exhibition of the person, they are liable to be attended with vanity, »nd to extinguish the blush of youthful timidity, which is in young ladies the most powerful of their exterior charms. And I am also satisfied that, if a young woman cannot partake of’the amusemets of a ball-room, except at the expanse of benevolence, of friendship, of diffidence, of sincerity, of good humor, at the expense of some Christian disposition, some Christian virtue, she has no business there.— The recreation to others may be innocent, but to her it is certainly a sin.’ A School Marm got into a place out West where the children never heard prayer or preaching. So one day, when she commenced her school with prayer, one of the youngsters weut home and reported: ‘You never did see such a school-marm! She got down on her knees and swore with all her might. Virtue and wisdom go hand in baud.

PROSPECTUS n’DlANHWElffliffl, MJ), The proprietors ofthis establishment <le« u it almost unnecessary to urge upon the Detnw racy of the State, the importance of largely increasing the circulation of the Sentinel, a faithful and candid exposition of Democrat;, principlesand policy is all that is necessary to secure their continued ascendency in theminds of the people, and this can be best accomplished through the medium of the press. And to make success easy in the future, our people should be thoroughly informed and receive correct in. pressions upon all the party issues and public questions of the day. As it has been m the past, this will be the continued object of the Sentinel and to the faithful accomplishment of this duty, its proprietors willgive all their ability, energy and zeal. In return we shall ask of the Democracy of the State a liberal and hearty support. In do, ing us a service personally, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that "they will sow broadcast, sound principles and just sentiments. We hope that every democrat will feel it hii duty to be asoliciting agent in his own neigh borhood, for in no way can he accomplish greater good than in the circulation of a paper true to its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in the State of Fifty Thousand, and it can be accomplished if the Democracy of the State will it. With a little effort on the partof our friends, this number of subscribers can be obtained in the next thirty days. As the central Organ of the party we shah know no men, interests or cliques! and it a>likl be our aim to do equal and exact justice to all, Our duty is tobe the advocate and exponent es the principles and measures of the party, and whoever they shall select as its Representative Men, to give them an energetic and cordial sup. port. The administration of Mr. Buchanan wil! soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should be interesteil to know the sentiments and policy of the man of his choice. Congress is in session and the people should keep informed of the do ingsof th- ir servai ts. Tip-Legislature of this State will assemble on the 7th January, and every citizen of the commonwealth should watch, with an anxious eye, all that concerns our State interests. The Sentinel will contain full reports upon all these topics, motives enough we think to induceevo rv man to take our paper. In addition we shall keep our readers informed upon all the current news of the day , domestic and foreign. V’e will give full reports of the markets, and all interesting commercial and monetary matters.— We will give each week a full report of the N Y, cattle market. In a word we shall endeavor to give our paper an interest to the tradesman, the mechanic, the laborer, to all classes and professions. Advertisers are especially invited to the great advantages the Sentinel offers as in advertising medium. Its extended circulation reaches all portions ofthe State I nd all classes of the community, giving the advantage of not only a large local, but general circulation. We again ask our friends to aid in extending the circulation of both our Daily and M'eiklv paper. Having no Soliciting agents, we shall have to depend entnely upon their good will and efforts, which we trustthey will generously manifest in good works, and which wc promise to r< pay in every effort to give the Sentinel value and influence. We are prepared to print all kinds of blanks for county officer’s use, or furnish any official books of record they may need. We hope to re ceive orders for this kind of work. The Book and Job office of the Sentinel Is equal to any in the west, and we are prepared to do any work in that line on the most favorable terms. r E ” ES -2 E 31 • Daily Sentinel, with full legislative, telegraphic and market reports, will be sent by , mail at $6 per annum or 50 cents per month.
