HOME FEELINGS.

Whatever our fate, wherever we roam, We yearn for the loving hearts at home. Oh ! blest and beautiful inner life, Excluding a world of care and strife, By the cozy nook, With a friend or a book, ’Neath the old roof-tree how sweet! how dear, Ab village bells to the wanderer’s ear. By the hearth of home, recruiting rest And vital vigour expand the breast, 'Tis there that our failing strength we gird To conquer despair with a hero’s sword : A shrine of love, Like the home above, Hallowed by reverence, praise, and prayer, With parents, and brothers, and sisters there.

On the tented field the soldier’s heart At the cherished name of home will start; And the sailor thanks God for the beacon

light, That shines from his native cliff at night. With joy as great, Whether soon or late, When the noblest work of life is done, May our heavenly home above be won !

THE “GRAPHIC” AT THE SYDNEY EXHIBITION.

The space occupied by the “Graphic” exhibit at Sydney will be 40 feet by 20 feet, and the area will be enclosed on three sides by a wooden partition. The inside of the partition will be entirely covered with black and white drawings by many of the most eminent artists in Eng land. The intention of the proprietors of the “Graphic” has been to furnish, for the first time probably in the colony, “ a Black and White Exhibition,” and so enable the colonists to see the works of many men whose imputation has already reached them. In the centre, of the space a small printing machine will be at work, the motive power being procured from a gas-engine. The machine has been placed at the disposal of the pro prietors of the “Graphic” by Messrs. Harrild and Sons and the gas-engine by Messrs.- Crossley Bros. Arranged round the section will be various objects illus trating the whole process of producing an illustrated newspaper, as, for example, a case showing the various stages through which paper passes in its manufacture ; esparto, rags, pulp, etc. There will also be found the various processes through which a sketch received from a special correspondent passes before becoming a finished electrotype of an engraving ready for printing. First there will be original sketches sent from the Russo-Turltish and Zulu wars by the artists of the “ Graphic,” then drawings and photographs on wood, engraved blocks, wax moulds of the blocks, and finally, the electrotypes, both as thin copper shells and as mounted electros. will also be fully illustrated in the same manner.
