dozens Of admirers at her feet, the liberty Of
choosing from large circle. But there is
none SO much in danger Of making wreck

side, she soon loses the power Of judging cor
rec,ly, and 1t too frequently happens that
some heartless fortune hunter, more subtle IN

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

In looking over my returns, WAS struck
with the remark of a man of much prac.
tical wisdom and one of the best farmers
in the Commonwealth. He says "lhat a
farmer should produce upon his farm all
those supplies for family, which the farm
can be made to yield" In his case this
is done within doors and without; for
there the spinning wheel has not for
gotten to turn round, nor the shuttle to
speed its flight. In this cottage whose
neat and beautiful arrangements. cannot
be surpassed, the clothing, the bedding and
the carpeling were all the produce Of their
own 6elyls, and focks. shall not soon
forget the urpretending and hearty hospi.
lality of these enviable dwellings. l have
slept many time under siIken canopy
and trodden many carpets as soft as the
pride of eastern luxury could make it; but
never with any thing like the sentiment OF
honest pride and independence with which
l saw here. The floors spread with car
pets made from their focks, which for
ineness the foot Of princess need not
lisdain; and on cold nigh, slept in wool.
len sheets from their'own looms as soft as
the shawls of Cashmere; d wiped my face
with towels spun with their own hands
from their own flax. of a whilcness as
transparent and delicate as the drifted
snow. In such beautiful examples of do.
mesiic managemenb5it is delightful TO sec
