GIRLS SHOULD LEARN TO KErp uorsr

GIRLS SHOULD LEARN TO KEEP HOUSE.
No young lady can be too well instructed
N anything that will affect the comfort of il
family. Whatever position in society she
may occupy, she needs practical Know
ledge Of the duties Of housekeeper. She
may be placed in such circumstances that it
Will be unnecessary for her to perform much
domestic labor; but on this account She needs
no less knowledge than if she was obliged to
preside personally over the cooking stoye
and panty. Indeed, have often thought it.
was more difficult to direct others, and re-
qulres more experience, than to do the same
work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and mar.
tlcular IN their domestic arrangements, that
they DO not like to give up any part Of their
care to their children. This Is a great mis-
take, for they are often burdened with labor,
and need relief. Children should be carly
taught to make themselves useful; TO assist
their parents in every way in their power,
and consider il privilege to do 30.
Young people cannot realize the impor-
lance OF thorough knowledge Of house
wilery as we'll as those who have suffered the
iuconyenicnccs and Notifications of igno-
rance. Children should be early induIged
in their disposition to bake aud experiment
in cooking IN various ways. II is often but
troublesome help they afford, still it is
great advantage to them.
Know a little girl, who, at nine years
old, made loaf of bread every week during
the Winter. lie mother taught her how
much yeast and -four to use, and she became
an expert baker. Whenever she is disposed
to try her skill in making simple cakes and
pies, size is permitted to do 50. She is thus,
while amusing herself, learning an important
lesson. Her mother calls her cher little
hOusekeeper,' and She often permits her 10
get what is necessary for the table. She
hangs the keys by her side, and very musical
is their iingling % her ears. ! think before
she is out Of her teens, upon which she has
not yet entered, that she will have some idea
how to coOk.
Some mothers give their daughters the
care Of housekeeping. each week by turns.
II seems 70 me good arrangement, aud d
most useful part Of their education.
Domestic labor is by no means incompati-
be with the highest degree &c refinement and
mental culture. Many of the most elegant
and accomplished women have known, have
looked well 10 their household duties, and
have hOnnred themselves and their husbands
BY 50 doing.

For the State Democrat
Naturalizcd voters OF Scott County,
the time is short between this and next
Monday, when you will be called uron
to exercise the highest political p. wi
lego which you possess. Individually
you are to stand forth with the spirit
and dignity Of men, to endorse or con-
demn the principles of those who seek
the suffrages Of the people, TO vote for
men and party which is pr ogres siye in
its movements, whose highest ain is to
add to the happiness Of manLind, and
whose broad platform seeks not to make
humanity sectional by virtually conGu.
ing YOU to the overstockci areas of
the old world by rampant selfish Know
nothing doctrines. Reflect for moment
that the Democracy Of this county are
opposing men, who for love of Office
shift with the wind, and hold their
words and professions, as nothing, if by
chicanery and downright dem az osueism,
they can still retain grasp upon official
power, who BY their lips rail- at your is-
norance and condemn you az something
less than men. They see not the virtue
Of good citizenship, which is ent xined
in your nature, they see not your steady
patient in dustry, your self eacrifces
when tho patriotism of your adopted
country calls for action, they see not the
noble struggle which has won you the
right Of frecmen, the abandonment of
home for principles, but they do see
the marks of centralized desroiic pow.
or on some Of .you,wbo have freed your
'elf by abandoning FatherLnd and
home to DO it. And using this CRY Of
"isnorant foreigners" as q text thew
seek to establish asd perpe.uate a cen.
rallied strong government and irau.
surate the beginnings of a system which
will enslave the poor white men Of this
Republic with worse slavery than the
one they professcdly seek to overthrow.
but which in reality they ara trying to
uphold. There are Know. noshinss o d
the Republican ticket, who use the posi-.
ton OF their Offices to insult you when
with pride at your heart you take the
'n't'atory steps to become a faithful
servant to that glorious Constitution
which has been your beacon ligh, tbrouch
many dreary waiting hour, when you
dreamt OF the freedom which was MT
then your boon. Ifby your aid these fu.
sion leaders are electei,you will give aid
and encouragement to men, who, BY tho
means OF Anarchy and Civil war seek to
establish despotism of class; who will
use you until they can rule you, AMI
then srsmple spon you when they can
