edged to be the greatest antiquarian in New

liable volume of legal lore to his already well
stocked library, is engaged in hunting up copies
OF the celebrated criminal trials that have taken
place in the State of New Hampshire. Oh.
serving in catalogue of books issued by an old
and distinguished publishing house in New
York, that copy of trial he was in search Of
was for sale, Mr.. G. Immediately wrote to the
firm, requesting them to forward it to him. By
due course of mail he received letter, inform
ing him that the copy of the trial he desired
had been sold, but that they would procure
another copy for him. and that their business
was so extensive both in this country and in
Europe, that they could furnish him with a copy
OF any. trial he might desire. Mr.. G. having
been placed in the same position several times
by attempting to purchase catalogue books with
the prices annexed, wrote back the following
short but pithy note:

Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of a
little fun at home, good people Don't
sEut up your houses lest the sun should

You want to ruin your sons, let them

when they come home at night. When
once a home is regarded as only a place
TO eat, drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling-houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation somewhere ;
if they do hot find it at their own hearth
stones, it will be sought in other, and
perhaps less profitable places. There
fore let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the home nest delightful with
all those little arts that parents so per-
fectly understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirit of your children ; half an
hour of merriment round the lamp and
freight of home blots out the remem-
brance of many a care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of a bright little
domestic sanctum.-LDe Illustrated.

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
ATLANTIC MONTHLY
THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
DEVOTED TO.
Literature, Art and Politics.

~ 49, Va \ I1AloblSAL W ILL DE
LYRST In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that, while each num-
Der will contain articles of an abstract and per-
manent value, it will also be found that the
healthy appetite of the mind for entertainment
In its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not go uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also. that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the Ar
LANTic, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather ON the competency
OF an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative Of Art, in all
Its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations Of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ OF no party or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent Of what its conduc-
tors belieye to be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-,
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par !,
ties, and which alone makes the basis of a true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set Of antics, but with TINT
boo y of men which is in favor Of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
