NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AT HOME

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AT HOME
Not the interesting and instructive book
under that title, but the very scene which
the book delineates and which, unless we
mistake, are fast vanishing away, and will
soon be, ifthey are not already, among che
things that have been, but are not.
An evening at home, how is it to be
found? Just mark the calls for public and
social meetings, read in your church on the
next Sabbath, and advertised by the various
moral and literary associations of the CITY
and what evening is left for quiet com.
munion with your own family, or a social
call on friend? What room is there for
thorough family instruction? Their father
is always at the store or Office all the day,
and the mother has her work, and the chill
dren are at school-now if there is meet.
ing to call the family out every evening,
what time is left for household teaching?
There is much truth, with perhaps slight
coloring Of exaggeration, in the anecdote
given in the January number Of Harpes's
Magazine, of a gentleman who had failed
in business, and, when asked, what he
intended to do, replied, Il shall remain
at home awhile, and get acquainted with
my family "
We believe this constant drawing away
from home, and home influence is demoral-
izing; and that it is time Christians should
inquire, whether one reason why they do
not grow more rapidly in grace and knowl-
edge: is not, that they are ever hearing,
and never meditating on what they hear
ever running from meeting to meeting, ,saad
never at home. Is there not great danger
that 'home' influences will loose their charm
when we come there only to eat and sleep,
offering indeed the morning and evening
prayer, but never sitting down with the
household in the sweet communion and the
precious instruction that were always found
in the olden times, when both on the Sab.

ACCOMMODATION FOR THE SupgRroa CoURT-
The Judges Of the above court have sent In
communa at on 10 the Board of Councilmen,
calling attention to the insnnacisncy and IN
healthiness of the accommodation provided for
their rtipgs, and suggesting q means by which
they may be relieved from their present con-
fined quarters. 1t will be recollected that when
the court was first constituted, by al act OF the
Legislature, the two rooms now occupied by
the Councilmen and Supervisors were set part
for its use. The court continued to hold Its
sitting- there until the passage OF the act OF
April, 1853, creating Board Of Counoilmen,
consisting of sixty members. The two rooms
were hen converted into one for the use Of the
Boarc, the court held its trial terms in the
chambers Of the Aldermen and assistant Alder
men, until II was compelled to transact its bus-
ness in the building at the corner Of Centre and
Chambers streets.
The result of this experiment Is notorious.
The complaints Of Judges, jurors witnesses and
suitors, as to the unhealthiness Of the building
have been constant theme Of comment In the
public journals. To persevere in holding jury
resie nation of the Judges, one sfter the other,
and the Justices Of the Superior Court think 1t
but reasonable Il at they should not be exposed
to either Of these awkward contingencies.
The arrangement they propose Is simple
one, and can, we think, be carried out With
due regard to the comfort and convenience OF
the profession and the public. 1t Is recon-
mended that the two large rooms on the second
floor of the brown stone building in the Park
be assigned TO the Superior Court for jury trials,
and that room in the third story be appropri-
ated to the Supreme Court for its General
Term he first story being also retained by the
latter for the trial of causes. or course these
changes will necessitate the transfer OF the
Court of Sessions back 10 the place where it
was formerly held-a measure which has its ad'
vantages.
1t lis to be hoped that the Board of Council
men will comply with these suggestions They
would concentrate all the jury terms Of the
Supreme and Superior courts within the same
building, and promote the convenience Of the
members of the legal profession by enabling
tnem tpc HoIc eaSny 10 WHICH tue progress VI
the calendars in the two courts. An arrange
ment of come kind or other will have to be ar
rived at at once, or we shall have the Justices
of the Superior Court following the example of
Judge Pierrepoint. As there appear to be
legal difficulties in the way Of the Board of Sa-
pervisors purchasing site for additional court
accommodation, the remedy suggested seems
the readiest and most practicable Of any that
has been as yet recommended.
