A Singular Incident.

The following, says Pittsburg correspon-
dent, may be relied upou "A lady of this
city monrns husband, lost on the Inflated
Arctic. Some time before the news arrived of
of the disaster, and about the time she expec-
ted his return, (indeed she had received notice
that he would probably arrive on the very day
the circumstance occurred which | am about to
relae,) while she was sitting in her room,
alone, friend called and found her in state
Of extreme agitation. Upon inquiriDg the
cause, she stated that, just a moment before,
while she was sitting thinking Of her husband,
perfectly conscious of all around her, the door
opened, and he appeared before her, with coat
and hat off, bending over slightly toward the
floor, as he walked toward her, while the wa
ter streamed down his shoulders and arms.
Just as she was about to question him, he left
the room, and a moment after the person alln-
ded to above came in The visitor rallied her
upon her fears, and succeeded in partially quiet
ing her mind. The incident was related to
the writer day or two afterward, but had been
partially forgotten, until the dreadful tidings
brought it fearfulIy vivid to nv mind. Alas
for that poor widow !'-Knickerbocker Maya

He saw her in the street, and followed. Other

buy goods, but he thought an opportunity
might occur for him to speak music to her, or
hear the music OF her speech.

The Kitchen.

We give to intellect, to morality, to relig-
on, and to all the virtues, the honor which be-
longs to them. And still, it may be boldly
affirmed, that economy, taste, skill, and neat
ness, in the kitchen, have great deal to do
in making life happy and prosperous. Nor is
it indispensably necessary that house should
be filled with luxuries. All the qualifications
for good housekeeping can be displayed as
well on a small scale as on large one. A
small house can be more easily kept clean,
than a palace. Economy is most needed in
the absence of an abundance. Taste is as well
displayed in placing the dishes on pine table,
as in arranging the folds of damask curtain.
And skilful cooking is as readily discovered
in nicely baked potato, or in respectable
johnny-cake, as in a nut-brown sir-loin, or a
brace of canvas-backs. The charm of good
housekeeping is in the order, economy, and
taste displayed in attention to little things.
And these little things have wonderful inlu-
ence. A dirty kitchen, and bad cooking have
driven many a one from home, to seek for
comfort and happiness somewhere else. Do
nestle economy is science theory of life,
which all sensible women ought to study and
practice. None of our excellent girls are fit
to be married, until they are thoroughly edu-
Gated in the deep and profound mysteries of
the kitchen. See to it, all We who are moth
ers, that your daughters are all accomplished ;
by an experimental knowledge of good house
