THE KITCHEN

Talk Of the parlor. with its touch me

Let its covered magnificence riot in dark
ness, its red velvet lie in shrouds-itS
pictures gaze dimly through rape--its
splendid piano, stand dumb in its linen
cover. its worsted roses and pinks, and
gill; flowers remain unplucked in da rk
corners-itS carpet bloom unseen. Let
the shutters and double curtains exclude
every beautiful ray of light. it is well
come TO its solitude while we can have
the pleasant. airy. yellow aoored, uncar-
peted kitchen.
That is the place for real enjoyment
the kitchen, with its b:!gh: shelves and
clean. white tables, white with time
The kitchen, with its comfortable old ca
sy chair and broad shining bearth--and
cracking, blazing fire.
We do not mean the kitchen in the
great house, where lazy servants have en-
tire control, and the lady of the house
never sets her foot within its precincts.
but the homely, comfortable kitchen Of
the well-to do working man, where the
wife and the tea-ketile sing together.
and little children prattle round the moth
er while her OWL hands set The table for

There may be snow in the cleaning,
or sun-arrows lodging in the tops of trees.
there may be city walls about. or blue
water and undulating hills. 1t matters
not--in such a place everything smacks
Of true comfort.
Make the kitchen attractive and pleas
ant by all means. How absurd to keep
one room in constant state, as it were.

few party going friendsl We wish no

family enjoy it. Pray who should, if
not they?

escaped, and the dying man was taken to
the Station House, where in few hours
he expired. The scene at the Station
House-whle the young wife. in the
most thrilling anguish. lay upon the
floor. clasping as it were. with an en-
brace Of steel, her mangled and dying

A few weeks since, the editor of the
Madison Banner. in speaking of the Cath
Ollie movements i'll reference TO the school
question. &c, said that only one paper
out Of Madison. had dared to say any thing
against the course the Catholics were
pursuing; and it was more than limited
that the Editors of the Indiana pa
pers were afraid to speak their senti-
ments.
We speak of this matter at present TO
correct the editor of the Banner. We
send him one oil our papers, published
some weeks since, and if he will examine
1t, will find he has made small mistake.
The Catholic movement in the United
States is becoming somewhat alarming.
and what the Madison Banner says Of
the papers of Indiana being generally too
reluctant in speaking of this subject. is
true. No doubt many are afraid TO speak
their sentiments. and denounce the course
which is being pursued by the leaders of
Catholicism both in Europe and America
The silence of the Press undoubtedly
gives to these Zealots and Bigots cour-
age TO venture farther. The time is not
far distant when they must speak, or suf-
fer the Press 10 be muzzled, for the Cath
Olics are daily becoming more formula
bic. Almost every vessel from Europe
is loaded with adherents to the Catholic
faith. and as general thing their course
here has been marked out for them before
they left for the land of Liberty"
What will be the result? This is hard
to tell. Il would be easily told if they
could gain enough in numerical numbers.
The lnqusition would be established in
the land of Columbia. Toleratio would
no longer be given to The children of the
founders of our republic. Already do
some of them boast that the Catholics
now hold the balance of power, which is
un1oub tedly true. And in conclusion
we say, will the papers generally. of this
State remain silent and not give the note
OF warning. when such bold steps are ia
ken as have been during the last six
months? We trust that others will i'm.
itate the Madison Banner i'm this respect.
