It ti not doubted that men haT a home Li that place where each on 8 hu established hi rt& and the mo of hin ponomlona and lerlaces; whence he will not depart, if nothing calls hin away: whence U he ha departed he teems to fc wanderer, and li he retnrn he ceases) to woder.

And they cried In a qucrulor.s tons, "Mamma, Now thiL k back ever and ever so far. And thick if you ever had rainy days Tbat ironb'.ea yonr plans and spoiled the plajB, And what you did when they used to be." The mother laughed with a low toft laugh. She was "remtinterfrs." ttey could see. "1 know, you rogues, wbat you all are after. IM tell you a tale that happened to me He and some Utile we) bits cf girls With hair as yellow e f having-cnrls, A ben it rallied fcr a day and a night and a day, , And we thought it meant to keep on that way, And we were as tired as tired could be. Up In the attic in eranlmtt's attta 'there's a chest cf drawers, or tbsre use J to be. Though we had many a chargs em phatlc Not to go near enough to see, Bnt one rainy day we cpeued it wide And strewea the contents on every sida. We dressed ourselves ia the queer old cap And bratv-buttcned coats with long blue Haps Yet wait a minute papa wants me." They waited and wnlted and waited and waited, "Forty hours it seems to me!" Cried weary Kmy with eyes dilated, "Let's rto It ourselves I can rind the key I" 8o tbey climbed tbe stair "as still as a manse."

You come pretty nigh cumin up tha hull town la;1. Fourth, aa' I don't want to run no more seeh. risk!. Ki'jy yourselves as well' you cm other ways 'n that. JJow mind!" That was how and why because of this interdiction of everything that goss to iak Fourth of July different from a foarta of August or any ether day the boya hopper edto think of going up the river fishing. They were down on tho river bank, lyin at full length on the green grass, when Jed Huarden said, meditatively, torelng a poblo into the fitter, "There'll bono fan stay in here, bey.', 'tbout we can fire off things." Bud Uoee laughed. He could never sarious. "Its became we fireloff Jennings barn last Fourth tbat everybody's eo down on our celebrsting this year,'-" said ho. ! wonder how the old thing got a2re, aijhow7" E&6y enough, rtjomai Jed; "'here a heap of straw all around it, and I don't t'pcie wo weie over 'n' above careful. Tbe old eraety wasn't worth ten cants, bit it cam? near burning up everybody else's buildir .'' So it did. After all I don't blame folk much. There ain't suih a eight of fun in mapping crackers, anyhow." But what aball we do?:' Charley Stevens looked up then. All this time he had not poken, but lay gazing out cn the river. "I move we go flatting up on Beaver Brook," said he. "Start bafora daylight, and stay till after dark.'' 'Second the mclion. Hooray !" All was animation now. The boys sat bolt-upright. Charley lauc;haj. "Moved and seconded that we, the ßtirring youth of Brayton, celebrate to-morrow by going fluting. All who favor thia will pleaea e&y '' "Ayl" Tto motion ia us mimotuly carried,'' eaid Charley, c baking back hi3 hair. I thiik it was myself. S. woald you if you could tave heard that roaring assent. There was no hal.'-way work with tee Brayton boys. They were all on hand tha next momirp, with their lunch baskets, not exactly before dajligbt, but sufficiently early; and tLey could not resist the temptation to give several prolonged whoopi a- tL&y thoved the old scow out from shore. That'll let 'cm know we're 'round," laughed Charley Stevens. "There, boys, back up. I've left my paiL." What pails'f" "Vhy, ' said Charley, "I promised to save some of the smallest fish, if they weren't hooked too much, for La irie'a aquarium, and Ibrcucht along a cojple ofpaila tj ke;p 'em alive in. Tcero .they are on the bank. Btck water." "Nonsense! ' Bet Charley was firm; and Jai and Bui and Vet, who were taking tne first turn at the paddle, pulled a roi or two back to tha shore, not without a liitla grumbling, and brought away the piils. Aiterwa d they all had very good reason to remember and be ttarkful for this. Thea they palled steadily away up the 'iver, through tha light fog which the rays of the morning sun had not yet tcattered, trolling their lines, and catching a few fisa by the way. "I would have brought a fryirg-pin," said Daan ilardn, p-iiim? in a speckled trout, "but father said 'twouldn't dj to make a fire this weather. Everything's lry aa titdtjv' 'And laver Brook i?n't more'n two mil from tho vill, through tho w oil,' said Chailcy, midiutively. "Wind b'uwj right tQat way, too." It's four rallea by th9 river, if it's an inch,' id Vet Ad&ms; for tho rirer certainly rmda a wida ditoar. "It's crooked as a ram'e horn," d3cl.tred Jeff Gamrrcn, wiping the Perspiration from his face. 4 A fellow has to pall ail tho wav rcond Iljbin Hood's brn to gt any where." Cta ley laughed. u"e'ra "almost t. ths mouth cl the brook now' said he. '-There' the eld p'ne.' And in a f jw tninuteä the sor v, propilei by three pairs of stout arms, swept grandly arourd the point of land r.nd intofliavor Brook, on one sido, a?t a? a light b ros-bark caro.. holdirg two ren, taot out on the other side. "ItdUns!" exclR;m',d Charley, in a tone cf grest disgust. "Tcera's a'cimpof 'em down tbe river somewacre. "We won't got any fish here, boy?." Cfcark-y was ruht. They fijnod for half an hour, waiting patiently for a nibLie, which they did not get. "We'll have to g- fjr'.h-sr up thlryrk," sa'd Cnarlcy; and a'cor.'ijg'y th 11 s:ow was once more tet .n motion. How pliant it Wi".?! Th-y ran along in tie eLhdo ct th wi'.iows that kirtei tbo brrck, thr-ir piu.iles dipp-ag liz:ly, anl tbtir fi:hirg lin trailing in tha i:ep still wtter. Ii was very wirm in the sun, bit Itere was a smart brofzi bljwin, aid a prff pt of shower later on. Suddenly Ch&rloy ftlt a jjrk on his line that, titking him unaware?, nearly pill'ii Aim off his seat.

. "Gracious I boys, hold on," ho sail, in an i xited whisper, l've got a ten-ponndar. ' It waa not half of that, nor had Clarley got hii fish; but lh paddles were qaickly and quietly shipped. Charley pulled in a sice trout, and Bud Ruse another. "Aint they beauties?" "We're right in a school of 'cm'eaid Bad, rebaiting his hook. "I say, fellow, ain't this a long chslk betiern fire-works?" For no matter how many times a country bey may have been a-fishing, nor how many fish he may have caught, the sport maat always be exciting. An exclamation of alarm from one of their number, as Bud fin ifhed speaking, startled the boys; and they were a good deal more itartled, and not a little provoked, to sea Charley catch up one of the heavy paddlea and plunge it into the water with along sweeping stroke, the impetus of which sent the scow forward a dozen feet. - Now loot hereP "Bojs," cried Charley, flushed and anxious in a minute, 'we may have the flre-work yet. See there!" Around a bend in the stream a thin blue line of smoke was seen curling up through the trees, and even as the boys gazed, it appeared to increase in v :lumo and density. "The Indians must have left it!" exclaimed Charley, hurriedly. Bdvs " There was no need nor time tor words. Instantly the two remaining paidles ware Seized, and the scow was headed up and around the bend. It came to them all in a flash tow strong the wind was blowing from the west; teat the woods of Dann Township, altogether proprietor's land, adjoined Brayton, extending to the top of the hill tbat overlooked the village; and each boy'a heart turned pale at the prospect. 'It's all black growth, too," groaned Charley, ''and full of old dry tops, where they've been lumbering year after year just a regular tinder-box. This wind '11 carry lire from it a mile anyway. Pall, toys, pull!" And they pulled. But the fire was getting under good headway when they reached the fpot. The smoke was rolling up blacker acd thicker, and through it the boys could see the red flickering tongues of flame. Take the pail your hats anything that will bold water," cried Charley," "and wet your jackets wet yourselves all over." lie was obeyed. Pailful after pailful of water was dashed upon the fire, which hvl been built betiJo an old dry pine stub; aid they were really subduing it, wheu a sudden tempestuous flurry of wind scattered the burning embers in all directions; and pr33ently, before the boys were able fairly tj realize that the mischief had been done, a doz en tiny puffs cf smoke started up around. In ioa ity everything was dry as tinder, V e've get to light it tight it hard, 1 m," said Charley, between his grittad t33th. 'Td like to wring tbe necks cf of those Indians." Well, and how tbey battled the fira thit scorching July day! They stamped it oat; they ETjaothei ed it with earth; thev dished water V3r it; they stifled it wita their wat jackets, blistering facef, handj, aad fast .itbeut for a rerment minding the pv"a Meie than once they were sure tbey had conquered, and made tho wools ring with a sfceut of triumph; only ia see, aliucet before tha ech os d:ed away, an o her puff of Smoke s'.&rticg up, an another. Ta jir threats weio parched, and ratt?3d when they tried to speak, and Ihtir eyes were smartiu and in fumed with the smoke. 'It's no use, boys; we c tn't do it." one or another would say; and than they would fall to work with greater vigor than baforo, ift'catwerö possible. It was no boy3' play, I can tell you. Fo: two long hours they fousht tha flames, with t listering hands and faces bsgr'mei witi fmcke and cinder?. And when they saw tbe fire was gaining inch by inch, they worked still. 'We'll do all wo can," panted Charley ' Ob, boys, why won't it rain ! The thunderclouds all go round. Oh, boys'." As he spoke a long fiar tongue lapped at tho foot of a dry tree, and the Mimes went up, up, to the top, with a hishicg, rushing roar which turned the boys' hearts sick with dread. "It's rone," said Charley. 44 We can't do &Lvn.tre." But t.t the came moment came a growl of distant thunder. A dense black . cloud was growing in the west. Through it there dartled a vivid gleam cf light. -TL'der ,and lightning!" yelled Bad. "Ur. '-'ye, and at it againl We'll have plei :v t h elp before long." i: ruved. Tho cloud swept over the sky with surprising rapidity, ard in a very fchcrt time the rain fell in shoots. And out in tho f term, the thunder crashing and the lightning playing about tbem, stood tan smoke-blackened, drenched boys, with little rivers of rain wearing - channels down their sooty faces, hurrahing with might and main. If a few tars of thankfulness and relief mingled with rivers of rain, I do not think any boy need have beau at all ashamed of them. 'Well," ttid Charley, "wi've had 'our Fourth-ot-.Tuly fire-worns with a vengeance." This was when tho rain had nearly coased fallinrr, and the boys tad embarked for home. "Ve've had the fire anyhow," laughed Bud, plvicg bis paddle leisurely. "And I'm sure we've had the work-'' "Ycu don't suppose 'twill start up again? ' asked Jed Plaidt!), koking bohind a little anxiously, as the old scow moved slowly do n the ktrt am. "Mo," answered Charley, af!d he drew a deep breath of relief; "it eti't after such a soaking. But 'twas a cloee thave, I tell you, boys.' So tbe towns-p?cplo thought when they htsrd tbe story. "'Twas a fuir-rate day's work for us," aid Mr. M&rdc-n at tho corner grocery next ruoinii-g. "Nothin' on earth would ha' saved tte plfcce ef tte Cre-'d cciai through there. It's somethin' to brag about.- I'm proud o' tbe boys I am so." ' They've paid up for burring. Jennines' o:d barn," taid ilr. Stevens, carefully weiphirg cut four ounces of tea "So tbey hcv," assented Mr. Marden.' And so the good folks of Brayton have each and every one of them resolved tha' next year the toys shall have such a Fourtn-of-July cslebration as Brayton has never jet seer. How Slates Are Made. The quarry men In the neighborhool of Delaware Water Gap, in Pennsylvania, have peculiar chisels, with which they break oif irom tbe Tock iocg and thin pieces of slate. Thefo slabs, which are generally about six feet in length and two feot wide, are cut by ES.W3 into the required sizas. Then th3 pie is are smoothed by means of cutters. Thcs prepared, the woodon framss are fixed in their plf.c:?, and with a little "finishing'' tho slates aro ready for the girh and hoys. One small factory near the Gip turns off 2Ö(:0 tiatcs every week day in the yeir. A Mer LSoat. .it. Nicholas. During ore cf my summer vacations arr.cn g the lakss of Central Now York, I resolved to Kake, if pofsible, a paper bat which should be easy to row'cr padile. light c-cough to be carried short distancas wilh ccmparative ea f , and, at tho same time, safe acd even durable if managed with reasonable care. It was to bo twelve feet long. I firat

made a frame-work on wh"ca to stritch tin paper. F.r this latter purpos6 I bought ab)ut eighteen yards ot very strong wrappingpaper. It was cf a light cream color, snao Hh on the surface, and very tough, but neiJier stiff nor very thick; and, being made in lorg roll, it could be obtamed ofalmost any length desired. It was only about a yard wide, so that it required two breadth to reach aroand the frame in the widest part. I cut encugh off the roll to cove? the frame, an t soaked in for a few minutes in water. I then turned the lrame upside down and fastened the edges cf the two strips of pap3r to it, by lapping them cirefally on the unler side cf the bottom-board and tacking them to it, o that the paper hung down loosely on all sides. It was then trimmed, lapped, and doubled over as smoothly as possible at the er da of the frame, and held in place by means of small clamps. Along the edges it was drawn tight, trimmed, and down over the gunwale, where it waa firmly held by slipping strips of ash just inside of the gunwale?. Tho shrinkage caused by the drying stretched the paper, thus fastened, tightly over the frame-work. As soon as thoroughly dry, it is varnished, inside aad out, with asphaltum varnish tbinned with turpentine, and, as soon as that had soaked in, a second ooat of the same varnish was applied, but with less turpentine; and; finally, the laps or joints of the paper were covered with pieces of muilin etuck cn with the unthinned varnish. These loose strips of ash were now removed, and another layer ot paper was put on, and fastened along the edge of the boat by replacing the strips as before. When the paper was dry, and the whole outside cf the boat varnished several times, until it presented a tmooth. shining surface. I covered the whole beat with unbleached muslin, sewed at the ends and tacked along the gunwales. It was then tightened by shrinking, and finally received three coats of a mixture of varnish and paint. I then took some split rattan, and, after wetticg it, wound it firmly around both gunwale and inside strip, passing it through small holes pnnched in the paper just below the gunwale, until the inside and outside strips were bound together fnto one strong gunwale. A dcuble-bladed paddle was at first used to prcpel it, and answeied the purpose, but was found to be awkward, the boat being ratter too wide. It was afterward rigged with wocden, and finally with ' iron rcwlccks snd light oars. I also put in a movable seat. With these improvements it is so satisfactory that I have siaca made no changes. For carrying the boat, I also us(d a sort of ycke, which brings all the weight trxn the shouldors, and in that way lightens the labor. During the two years that I have u3ed my boat, I have often landed it, through heavy break err, oa a very stony shore, besides' runrjing it against a f&ir number of submerged snags and stones, sometimes with considerable force, but, owing to its li?htEPfs and toughness, it never rocoived the slightest injury. I have boan out in it in very heavy leas, and have found it much cafier to manage at such times tban a Lowier beat. In rowing parallel to high waves it is apt to ehip a little water occasionally, urlets carefully managed, but all small boats with low sides experier.ee this dißbuliy. Ihe approximate co3t cf the materials ufed in the construction of the canoe was at :ollows: 5 qts. varnish, $1 90; 18 yds. papar. $1 20j 8 yds. cloth, 12 cts ; bottom-board, ) ct.; gunwales. 50 cts ; cross-boards, 25 cti ; faint, "0 eis; eplit rattan, '23 cts.: nails, screws, wiro, etc., 2" cts.

The fact that tho war is ended and the Union restored is delicately shown in the three 18 penny -'long drinks,'' re'pec. tively called "Stonewall Jackson," 'President Lincoln" and "General Grant," placed side by side.

A Philadelphia clergyman preached on the tex;, "Thr u shalt not tempt the Lord thy God," and illustrated it with, "We pray to the Lord to give us health, and tempt Him with filthy streets, sewer gas, and bad water." A religious journal, which believes tha. God created smiles es well as frowns, tells a story of a cornet player employed by a Baptit Church, who loet his position by p!aying the well-known melody "Pull for the Shore" at the baptism of a number of converts. A Young Men's Christian Association has been organized in IJerlin, Germany, by Frederick von Schluembach, cn the American plan.
