Houses FOR HoMEs What kind of
house shall / build ? is a question which
is asked every day, by the man whose
family have outgrown their present
quarters; by the fugitive from exorbi-
tant city rents to the country; by the
young man of moderate means Just
setting out in life, and anxious to begin
living in home, rather than in q ho-
tel, or that abomination of American
society," boarding house.
And it is question oftener asked,
than well answered The questioner
buys his land, and then often goes to
an architect, who gives him a plan
calculated to display his own ingenuity,
or artistic talent; and after exceeding
the estimates from ten to twenty per
cent, he has built house which is
grand or beautiful, or ingenious, as the
case may be; but which is not, and can
never be made, a home in any true
sense.
The first requisite in house is com.
fort. This should take precedence o
artistic effect, or grandeur, or ingen
ious arrangement. Houses should be
built to Ire in, not to look at, or t
give balls and receptions, and private
theatricals, and musical soirees in. /
life is to be spent in these follies, on,
had better build private opera hcus,
Mt once, and take apartments for til,
family at a hotel
Comfort and convenience, those ar
engagements which conduce to hoalti
and happiness, q regard for the wefar,
of the occupants rather than the opin
ion of art critics, or the entertainment
of society, ought to characterize the
plan OF a house intended for a home
With all the experience and instruc
ton which years of trial have givei
respecting house-huilding, it is Difficult
to find a modem house better adapte
to the necessities of life, less iniuriou
to health, and more fully answerin
the description of home, than tn
old-fashioned square houses of tw
stories, with wide hall through th
centre, in which our fathers and grand
fathers lived SO peacefully and happil,

Presbyterian Church in the South.

The christian denominations formerly
extended oyer all parts of the country.
Of late years several of them have di-
yideG, the occasions of their separation
being always the same-slavery. The
Methodist Church divided nearly on Ma
son and Dixon's line. The Southern pof-
ton of the New School Presbyterian
Church, few years, since, Withdrew
from their Northern connection and set
I'D an organization for themselves. The
Old School Presbyterian body maintain
ed its unity till the secession of the
States made the separation. The part
embraced in the insurrectionary States
organized. new body, and afterwards
united with the Southern New School
body, forming the Presbyterian Church
in the Confederate States. The slavery
sympathy has also led to some negotia-
tions for union with this body by the
Associate Reformed Church of the South.
The Presby terian Church in the States
of the rebellion, like the rest of the de-
nominations, went along with the rebels,
with good deal of spirit, and it seems
to have suffered severely by The opera
ton. We do not know of any conspicu-
GUS clergyman like Bishop Polk, of the
Episcopal Church, that went into the
military service of the rebellion. But
some of them have occupied more emil
nent positions on the martial field than
they ever did in the ecclesiastical.
Their last meeting in General Assent
bly, was held in May of 1864. This year
they were to meet at. Macon, Georgia.
From the minutes of last year we learn
that there were present only thirty.
seven ministers; that the Theological
Seminary had but seven students, having
had sixty-two before the rebellion, and
that the endowment funds of the Church
have gone mainly for the support of the
war. The Seminary loses by this wild
Investment SlO7 ,533; the Publication
fund $4,000; Domestic Missionary SCI,
600; Foreign Missionary S33,357-in all
over S1el 900.

The TRIAL OF THE CONsPIRAToRs.-
Some of the correspondents at Washing
ton speak of the trial Of the conspirators
to the assassination as already progress
ing, before a military tribunal. This is
said to be an error The Washington IN
telhgencer says: "The magnitude Of the
crime and the number of the criminals,
necessarily require careful collection
of evidence; and these preliminary ex-
aminations have been magnifed into
great trials of atrocious criminals This
is different matter There is no neces-
sity, nor would there be any sufficient ex-
cuse for trying these criminals secretly
and by military courts. Their crime is a
public one and against the civil law -
Their trial should be as public as their
crime and as their punishment should
be if convicted. The courts of law are
the properly appointed places to try all
criminal offences not committed against
the military authorities by persons in the
military service.

Trade with the SOnth.


The withdrawal of restrictions upon
trade with The Southern States will at
once Gauss business activity to spring up
all ofer the South; and will domuch 20
restore the business relations which sub.
sisted between the people of the two see
tions of our country before the war be-
gan. The people of the South are genet
ally, doubtless Destitute Of money, but
Northern capital will come to their aif
and assist in starting afresh the agricui
tural operations peculiar to the Southern
climate. -..> ,r~rrr,
The greatest difficulty which will y
experienced in resuming the culture q
cotton and other staples of Southern
growth, will be in obtaining laborers t.
work upon the plantations. The greai
question of free rersus slave labor has yel
to be decided. and the experiment of fres
labor is forced upon the South under cir
cumstances very unfavOrable to its SUD
cess, while, in case of it's failure, theJ
are de,iied the privilege of returning tt
the old order of things. The whole ques;
ton of the future prosperity of the South
depends upon whether the freed negroes
will work and may be relied upon by
their employers. 1t is much to be feared
that even emancipation has not changed
the characteristics of the negro race, and
that some more stringent regulations
will have to be adopted to compel them
to work than are consistent with the
ideas of freedom that they and the abo-
litionists generally entertain.
But, however the labor question may
be solved, there will soon be demand
for Northern goods of all kinds. The
blockade of Southern ports has cOntin-
ued so long as to reduce the people to
shabbiness of dress and simplicity OF
diet, which they will now gladly aban.
don. All kinds of manufactured articles
are needed in the South and will meet
with ready sale.
