One of the rery first requisites of a home which- shall exert a lasting and wholesome influence upon the unfolding minds of children is permanence. To those of eur readers who have been so fortnaate as to hare been born in a real 11 home/’ the mean ing of that delightful word has a deeper significance than the children of nomadic parentr can possibly comprehend. Most of the men who occupy the leading places in the multifarious activities of life in this city are country-bred. Their homo memories are fixed, and as distinct us a picture hung before the eyes. What sort of a'home for a child is that whose reminiscences in after yean will be a confused panorama of “moving day,'’ with its. sordid mnerica, of innumerable houses dwelt in for a year or two, of apartments in one huge caravansary which were so much like the apart ments in another human hive that the memory is paxxled to distinguish them, and of household gods which were set up ono day to bo huddled away on the ■OStf V ■ Country living is more permanent than city living, ond, in respect of this j l it is more conservative in its influence in forming the character. But it is also more restful, and rostfulncss tends to prolong life and economically develop mental and physical powers. The bur dens of city life are very great, It is true; . but it is pace that kills. People aro apt to saoor at the trifles which engage the attention of h village population.

' Who W«o Major Andre ? * . > t “ Did you ever read that in the papers about Cyrus Field buildiu’ a monument to Major Andre ? ” asked Bill Stiggins of a little knot of cronies sitting around* the cracker barrel in Gensing’s grocery. They have seen er heard something about it, and Stiggins went on to denounce it in the most unmeasured terms. Ho said the monument ought to be destroyed as soon ns built, and Field tarred and fcath ered. “ Who—who was this Major Andre, anyhow ? " asked one of the sitters, who had been listening to Stiggins’s deuuoci at ion. r~ >■ “ What! You confess that you don’t know who Andre was ? ” broke in Gen sing, the groccryman, contemptuously. “ Why, every schoolboy knows that it was Major Andre who tried to blow up the British Parliament with gunpowde —he was the author of the gunpowder plot.” “ You don’t know anything about it, piped in old Blinn, the cobbler. “ You aro thinking about Guy Fawkes.

It was Major William Henry Andre who fired the Ephesian dome Yon can read all about it iu Paul’s Epis tle to the Ephesians.” Tackhqpnmcr, the undertaker, who was appeplod to, said he wasn’t sure of anything regarding public men now a. days, but his impression had been all along that Andre was one of the men who assassinated Julias Caesar.

Then Bill Stiggins himself spoke up: ’ “ I never saw sueh a pack of ignoramuses in all my born days. I’ll tell you who Major Andre was and why I am opposed to o’d Cy.

The Lord Chief Baron rated that the ac tion could be maintained, and that the defendant’s lunacy did not make a bit of difference. It was argued that so far from being incapacitated from marriage by has lunacy, he all the more needed a wife to take caie of him. The thing waa settled on purely abstract principles. It was nothing that poor Jaekson couldn’t be married ; that no clergymen would marry a maniac. It was shown that Mr. Jackson was rapidly recovering, and when restored to his sense* might marry Mis* Paris, but that didn’t change the verdict.
