OF his great family and peopled by such classes;
and when progress has not been made in the

they become enlightened and useful. This is
not speculation, but arises simply from a care

The Half Houseleeper.-She was only half
bousekeeper. Go where you would about her
home. there was neither taste nor neatness.-
She would begin with great avidity, but lose
all her zeal before she got through. Of her
husbands half dozen shirts all were partial
ly fnished-one wanted sleeves, another col
lar and wristbands, another bosom and gus
sets. and so on through the whole list. Several
skeletons of quilts lay unfolded in her drawers,
and her tables and trunks were loaded with
magnificent promises.
Her bread was always unpalatable because
she forgot this or that-and though she had
been married ten years, in all that time the ta-
Bile wa never rightly laid for a meal-either
the salt was wanting, knife or spoon, or some
important ingredient. This afforded good ex
ercise for the family, and there was at all times
a continued running to and fro.
She was half housekeeper. Her meats
were never cared for after dinner, and then it
was "la! throw it away, it amt mnch." Much
or little. II makes the butchers bill enormous,
and her husband half distracted. There always
stood in her musty smelling pantry, mouldy
milk, mouldy bread. There always laid about
the room dozen garments worn out by tramp
ling rather than use. She was forever tripping
over brooms, forever wondering why on earth
work came SO very hard to her.
Her childrens cloths came to pieces the first
day, because they we're only half made, and
her temper soured quicker than any thing else.
She was continually lamenting that she ever
married, and wondered where some folks got
their housework. 'Ohl dear mel seemed to be
the whole of her vocabulary and it would
make one sad to watch her istless movements,
and hear her declare that no woman work
ed so hard as she, which was pretty trae, for
she had no method.
She dragged through life, and worried
through death fol which l fear, like every thing
else, she was only half prepared, and left six
daughters to follow her example, and curse the
the world with six more half housekeepers.-

The town of Knoxville, in Tennessee, wo
should Judge by the tone of the "Register," is
improving about as rapidly as any place in the
Southwest. Among other things mentioned by
a late number of that paper going to show the
rapid advancement of the place, is the fact tha:
houses which rented last year for $50, now
readily command Sl5Ol-that on 4 acres of
land recently laid off, twelve to fifteen houses
are now up; and last, but not least, it is stated
that the place viii shortly be lighted with gas!
IF friend Nc. will continue to "pile on the ago
nv" he will soon mako Knoxville a seaport.
