Daughters who neglect this part of cdu-
cation are entirely without excuse, and their
mothers are still more to blame. The very
apology which is often made for the neglect
OF 1T, Is the greatest condemnation of those
who offer it. 1t is said by those who are
growing up in ignorance cf these things,
ANY one canlearn to keep house when it
is necessary. Any one who loves her hus-
band and is devoted to his interests, will
make herself accomplished in those things
after she is married. As well might the
young man say, go, what use is it for me to
learn profession, or make myself acquaint-
ed with the details of my business? When
l am married, if | love my wife, it will then
be time enoughto learn a profession, or ac-
complish myself in the details of business"
Would there be any surer omen of total
failure and discontinue? That which wo-
man can learn to do under the tuition of
love, can certainly be learned to much
greater advantage, under the tuition of
mother. a."
If it is at all SO easy to learn, then they
certainly are utterly inexcusable who neglect
it. 1t is no degradation to the finest lady
to know all the details of domestic AFFAIRS
1t is honorable, and ought to be her pride.
A woman, though she may be as beautiful
as the morning, as wise as Minerva, and as
accomplished as the Graces, ought to know

divulgence of Thoughts that flicker through
the mind, and necessarily and reluctantly
absorb our attention. The exposure of these
would be the exposure of a shame which
would oyerwhelm the stoutest nerves, and
bring the blood into the cheek of the most

the mantle of concealment over this mental
shame-it reveals only that which is sworthv

thoughts thatare for ourselves alone and
those which are for society, and it expresses
the latter, while it suppressed the former
This Is not fault, but an act of discrimina-

but happiness in society. And ret it is to a

concealment of thought involved in it. We
