Evenings at Home.

We visited once in a large family where it was the duty of each sister in turn to provide the evening’s occupation, and there was a pleasant rivalry between them as to whose evening Bhould be the most enjoyable. The brothers entered fully into the spirit of the simple home entertainments, and were as loth to bq obliged to spend an evening away from home as their sisters and parents were to have them absent. Every one spoke of this family as an uncommonly united one, for each and every member showed such a strong attachment for the home to which each one contributed so much pleasure.—*■ The Signal. , '
