HOME. a happy Much can neat and SHEEP AND WOOL. ‘ Off she goes !’ said Mrs. Smith to her spouse, as they started by the railway, ‘ There you are wrong,” said Smith, * for it is the mail (male) train.’ m Why is a watch-dog larger at night than he is in the morning 1 Because he is let out at night and taken in in the morning. * Do you know who built this bridge V said a person to Hook. * No,’ replied Ilook ; 1 but if you go over you'll be tolled !’ An Englishman who, looking with dis- gust at a Scotchman eating a singed sheep’s head, was asked what he thought of the dish 1 ‘ Dish, sir, do you call that a dish V * Dish or no dish,’ rejoined the Caledo- nian, * there’s a deal o’ fine confused leed- in’ aboot it, let me tell you.’ Sambo bought a patriarchal turkey. <1 took him home,’ says he, ‘ my wife bile him tree hours, and den him crow ! My wife den pop him into de pot with six pounds o’ taters, and he kick ’em al out ; he mus a bin as old as dat Mefoosolum.’ There are comparatively few who have an adequate idea of home as an institution. It is recognised as a house, containing convenient furnitureâ€"a place to eat, drink, and sleep in ; but such a place is very far from being a home. Mome, properly regarded, is the grand in- stitution of social life. Like all in- stitutions, it has its external form and internal significance. It is the birthplace of the affections, the centre of every genial influence ; and in building up a home, regard should be had to all that can con- tribute to its happiness and com- fort. Home should be place, a pleasant place, be done by making it as orderly, ay, and as ornamental as possible. There should be home amusements, so that one need not go far from home lo seek enjoy- ment. There are homes, or places so called, which have no attractive feature about them places in which no evening is to be spent, no leisure hour to beguile ; and it is from |such homes that the young, natur- ally enough, fly off to a more ge- nial clime. But there are homes, and every home should be of this description, which exercises a charm possessed by no other place on the face of the earth---homes in which the greatest pleasure and happiness are found, and which yield in innocent recreation a solid and a lasting good. How much can books and good family newspapers do to while away a winter’s night ; how pleasant it is to cultivate vo- cal, or, it may be, instrumental music; how much joy can music and reading add to the family circle! When the day’s work is done, what can be more cheerful, more consistent than to find a fa- mily gathered together, finding in each other’s company a delight which no other company can give. Six things,’’ says a recent writer, are requisite to create a home.â€" Integrity must be the architect, and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be ^warmed by affection, and lighted up by cheerfulness, and industry must bo the ventilator, renewing the at- mosphere, and bringing in fresh sal- ubrity day by day ; whilst over all, as a protecting cancpy and defend- ing glory, nothing will suffice ex- cept the blessing of God.” Indeed, to make a home happy, industry and integrity are essential qualities. No home can be happy of which the members are so conscious that they have not fully earned the com- forts by which they are surrounded. But where there is the conscious- ness that duties are humbly dis- It has long been the practice of farmers either to sell, to the butch- er or slaughter hundreds â€" yea, thousands of sheep during the fall and winter because they thus avail themselves of some ready money, and also for the reason that they seem to have little confidence in raising sheep for their wool alone, as a paying business.â€"By means of this wholesale slaughter, the stock ot sheep throughout the whole country has been kept comparative- ly small and wool growing, except at some intervals of unusual excite- ment, has condition.

To make a home happy, a man must be industrious and fru- gal, and a woman ihrifty and tidy. A slattern, or an idler, could undo the best of homes ; but where there is honest labor on the one hand, and honest thrift on the other, a little money will go a long way in making a comfortable home. One thing is exceedingly important, namely, sobriety. Nothing will make amends for the want of that. Sobriety is an element that must not be left out, for without that, industry will lose its energy, fru- gality its forethought, affection its tenderness, and home its charm.â€" Sobriety has saved from ruin many a home, and the want of it has destroyed still more. Now, as home is the place where we should find our greatest, happiness, it is incumbent on us to see that we do all we can in our several relation- ships to make it as happy as we can. Have we done this? Are we doing it ? Is there nothing more we can do ?

ORIGIN OF THE WORD “ TEETOTAL.” The simple facts are that when the question of revising the old temperance pledge, so as to ex- clude all intoxicating liquors, was under consideration in Preston, a working man of the name of Rich- ard Turner applied to the proposal, not a cant word, but one long in use as an idiomatic local expres- sionâ€"the term teetotal.” He had probably heard and uttered it hundreds of times before, in the sense of <k completely/’ “ absolut- ely, without any exception,” or, as we sometimes say. out-and-out.'7’â€" The formation of the word is clear enough, thc first syllable “ tee ” being the mere duplication of the initial “t” of total, for the sake of greater emphasis and force. Its application tototal abstinence from inebriating liquors was accidental, and the use of it by Richard Tur- ner would probably have escaped observation had he not, through a habit of stammering, drawn the attention of the people to the dis- tinction he was wishing to convey. No one would have been more sur- sprised than ho to learn that he wa perpetrating a pun, stock kept we except cows in the district pays as well for the amount invested and the ex- pense of keeping as a good flock of sheep. True, wool is often low and of sale, but at the low rates, with the increase of flock, there can be very little if any loss under unfavor- able circumstances ; and for a series of ten years they prove profitable, as any one may know who will take note and consult firm res If we can succced in inducing the farmers of Western New York, and other sections where the midge has nearly destroyed the wheat crop, to turn th«ir attention to sheep in part, we shall, according to our view of the subject, be instrumental in pro- moting their best interest. One reason why farmers are averse to wool-growing is the difficulty of making satisfactory sales, as buyers are always ready to decry the arti- cle when the clip first comes to market, and quite as willing to hold it for a rise after they have got it in their hands. We do not now propose to offer any suggestions to remedy this difficulty only to ex- press the opinion that those farmers who have good stocks of wool can quite as well afford lo hold it as those who often borrow the money to purchase for that object. It is not our purpose now to discuss the relative value of coarse or find wool, sheep, or the supe- rior qualities of any one breed in either class. VVe are free to say, however, aside from the considera- tion of wool-growing only as a se- condary object, that we think farm- ers near the cities and populous lages will find it profitable raise sheep and lambs for butcher. Very few understand the proper method of raising mutton, as the great mass of sheep killed and sold at market are only in fit condition for wintering. Feeding is as es- sential to the productions of good “ mutton chop,” as to the furnish- ing of superior “sirloin steak,” with the difference that sheep can be fattened, and well fattened to, at much less comparative cost than beeves. For fattening purposes, the large-bodied, c< arse-woo!ed sheep, as the South Downs and their grades, with others of similai character, are preferable. We hope to induce farmers to an investigation of the subject, which they will have ample time to do during the winter upon which we are just entering. More correct notions of thc propriety and profits of sheep-raising and wool-growing are needed,â€"not for speculative purposes, but that those who would enter this field may do so with a better understanding of the sub- ject. So also of fattening sheep.â€" It is little understood, and practiced less, except in a few instances.â€" In summer they are easily kept in pastures, growing and fattening, to a certain extent, very cheaply.â€" In the fall and during winter they may be kept with good hay, tur- nips, barley or cornmeal, with the addition ot a littb oil-cake occa- sionally, and be ready for market at any time during the latter part of winter or early spring. They should have good shelter from storm and cold, and access to clean water, with constant and regular feeding, to ensure success. At another time we propose to treat thc subject more in detail.â€" Genesee Farmer. CONSIDERING the multiplicity of news- papers in America, it has to many been a matter of surprise that tho numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented. To supply this desideratum, No. 1, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August S, 1857. and is low continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is to fur- nish its readers regularly with the nows of their native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of all events of interest occurring in Scot- land, and its subscribers are in this way as fully informed of what is transpiring at home as if they were in regular receipt of an old-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the loading parties on theso subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. in the literary and miscellaneous department of tho paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen both at homo and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, tho co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, has been secured' in politics, tho Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ir terest its readers wherever situated, it will take a broad view of topics of this class, holding those of a merely local nature, except in so far as they may p;esont points of import- ance to the genoral public Questions involv- ing the interests of British residents in the United States and in the British Provinces, wiil be specially considered, and it is believed that the information and news of the Journal on this impo tant class of subjects will be such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and busit.ess like manrer, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York and elsewhere, therefore look with con* fiaenco for the support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A publication estab’ished with theso objects must of course look for support mainly from those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current History it chronicles ; but as the broad basis of this journal necessi- tates, in addition, the treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear unentertaininji or profitless.

ORR. OsHAWA, C. W, From whom all English or American Phon* graphic Works may be orocured DR. MORSE’S Indian Moot Fills. DR. MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent the greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North AintfVicaâ€" has spent three years among tin Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this wav that the Indian Root Pikte were first discovered. Dr. Morse was the first man to establish the fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOODâ€"that our strength, health and life depended upon this vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our hoalth we are deprived of, an<j*,if nature is not assisted in tnrowing oft' the stagnant humors, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be forever blown out. Ilow important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that we have it in our power to put a medicine in yrour reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around tho main- atnious cliffs in Nature’s Garden, for tho health and recovery of diseasod man. One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens ihe pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer .parts of the corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives ease aud double strength to the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, nd which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their wav to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all impuii4v, and the life of the body, which is the blooa, becomes porfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passage for the disease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whoso feeble frames have been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready io testify that they would have been numbered with the dead, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’slndian Root Pills. Afterone or two doses had been taken, they were tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not onty do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease, which is the blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use these Pills, that they will so dense and purify, that disease that deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the prospect of a long and happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

The object of the Woman’s Advocate is the? opening out of new spheres of employment for women who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative to occupations better suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than the few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for 0xis* tence. The Advocate employs, in the various de-i partments of the business, many women, who^ are paid for their labor as high prices as are* paid to men for the same amount of work.
