4 HOME of YOIiR OWN.

One of the very first things that a young
married couple should think of, is the get
ting of home of their own a house which
is theirs ito have and to hold' for life
time, if possible one that shall be to their
children place around which all their
youthful memories gather, and bring a
glow to their hearts, no matter what may
come to them in after years; one in
which each room will, in process of time,
become endeared through its associations.
It may seem far away in the distance at
first, but persistent thought and effort in
that direction will bring it to pass in time,
and much sooner than at first seemed
probable. Necessity or expediency may
make renting the only thing to do for a
season. bit l still adhere to the opinion
that it is the truest economy and highest
wisdom to get home of your own at the
earliest moment that you can make it
practicable.
These peripatetic people have rarely
much of value that they can call their own,
for in the very nature of things they could
not have. The family lack the sense of
permanency in regard to home which
is always so desirable, and especially
when people are upon the down hill side
of life. While young and vigorous, with

world, its absence is not felt so much, but
the day must come when the interests
will he gradually withdrawn with the
waning strength from purely outside mat
ters and centre within the home, and it
is then that the heart longs for and is hest
satisfied with what long habit has made
dear and familiar.
Another thing is true. Your expendl-
lures are much more likely to be careful
ly looked after if you have such an object
i'm view. l know Il couple who boarded
for some years after their marriage, then
rented house and went to housekeeping.
They lived up to every cent OF their IN
come, though never running in debt. FL
nally they concluded to have home of
their own, and took advantage of the in
stallnent plan; that is, they had house
built for them by persons who make that
sort of thing their business, gave mort
gage upon it to secure the builder, and
paid for it in monthly installments. The
undertaking caused a complete change IN
their way Of living. Without being mig
gardly, they looked closely after expenses,
and found that they could enjoy life just
as well as ever, and even better, because
they had a definite object in view which
absorbed their thoughts, and for which
| tney were pldIllluS uOul ufy W way
They go without many little luxuries to
which they were accustomed, but they do
not feel the deprivation in the comfort
they take in what is to be really a home,
not just simply temporary place to live

AN ODD BIT OF IRISH HIsTORY.-We
are indebted to the English Illustrated
Magazine for the following odd bit of Irish
history. In 155S-the last year of the
reign of Queen Mary-Dr. Henry Cole,
the Dean of st. Paul's, was sent to Ches-
ter on Il special commission from the
Queen to prosecute the heritics OF Ire
land, who were beginning to increase
alarmingly. The hostelry at which ne
stopped was then kept by a Mrs. Motters-
head, a singular name that still survives
in the street. The Mayor of Chester call
ed at the inn to pay his respects to the
Dean, and Mrs. Mottershead overhead the
Dean say exultingly that he carried that
which would clash all the heretics in Ire
land" and then he took out a leather box
and showed it exultingly to his worship.
Now, the landlady had brother in Dub
lin, and, anxious for his safety, she took
occasion during the night to abstract the
commission from the leather box and SUBJ
stitute a pack of cards tied together by
thread, with the knave of clubs upper
most. On his arrival at Dublin he pre-
sented his box to the Lord Deputy and
the Privy Council, who were surprised to
