Our Daughters.

The greatest danger TO our daughters IN
the present time, Is the neglect OF domestic
education. Not only 10 themselves, but To
husbands, families, and the community at
large. does the evil extend. BY far the
greatest amount Of happiness IN civilized
life depends on the domestic culture aud
habits of the wife aud mother. Let our
daughters be intellectually educated as
highly as possible; let their moral and So
cial nature receive the highest graces OF
yipor and refinement but along with these
LEI the domestic virtues find prominent
place.
We cannot say much about our daughters
being hereafter wives and mothers, but we
ought to think much Of 1t, aud give the thot
prominence in all our plans for their educa-
ton. Good wives they cannot be, at least
for men OF intelligence, without mental cul-
ture good mothers they certainly cannot
be without il; and more than this, they
cannot be such wives as men need, unless
they are good housekccpers; without
thorough and practical training to that end.
Our daughters should be practically taught
TO bake, wash, sweep, cook, set the table,
and do everything appertainlng to the order,

household. All this they eau learn as well
as not, and better than not.
/, need not interfere in the least with their
intellectual education, nor with the highest
STYLE Of refinement. On the contrary, II
shall greatly contribute thereto. Only let
that time which is worse than wasted IN
idleness, sauntering, gossip, frivolous read
ing, and the various modern female dissipa-
tions, which kill time aud health, be dcvo-
ted to domestic duties and education, and
our daughters would soon be all that the
highest interests Of society demand. y
benign, elevating influence would 90 forth
through all the families of the land. Health
and happiness would sparkle in many now
lustreless eye, the bloom would return to
beautify many faded cheek, and doctors
bills would give way to bills OF wholesome
fare.-St. Louis .ldr.

General HaNelOCk.

The Friend of India gives the following
interesting account OF this great and good
man:
"Personally, General Hayelock was what
his career would Indicate, before all things,
a soldier. OF somewhat stern temper, he
believed that discipline Is the secret OF all
military success-that obedience to an or
der for charge-that troops who can form
line "as level as a WALL" will eneyitably
scatter troops whose drill has not reached
the same perfection. This belief, which he
shared with Frederick the Great and Well
ingtop, made him what is called martinez,
and sometimes irritated his soldiers, but ali
acerbity was forgotten as the time OF action
approached. General Neil, no friendly au-
thority, declared ''he had never seen men so
handled" while his dauntless courage was
respected by the brayest under his command.
Many stories are told of quality which In
him amounted to something more than bra
very.
lie was once riding, the solitary mark for
a thousand musketeers, on besleged bas-
ton, when he was observed to drop his rein
and check his horse into walk. Shouts
and orders were unheard, and 1t was not un-
al a comrade rode up aud spoke, that he was
awoke from the reyerie shower OF bullets
had failed even to disturb. On the black
night Of Ferozeshah, Lord Hardlnge found
him fast asleep under fire, with bag OF
gunpowder for his pillow. His Lordship's
monstrance at his recklessness, only pro-
duced a quiet remark. Our sketch OF his
character would be even more imperfect
than it is, did we omit lis prominent and re-
culiar feature. General HayelOck was
Christian, not as men now usually are, ac-
cordng to faint belief OF the doctrines
taught in childhood; but man OF the true
old Puritan stamp, a man who really beliey-
ed, and who, seeing the path of duty, held
consequences as light as ait. Twice he de-
liberately put his commission at stake, rath-
or than obey an order contrary to his creed,
and once he threw away the highest profess
sional prospects sooner than defend with his
pen policy he dcspised. His plety under
laid his entire character. There could be
but one path, that OF duty, and therefore he
was never indecisiye. There could be but
one object Of fear, sin; and personal danger
was as the idle wind. There could be but
one who ruled, the most high God, and ex-
uItatlon OF despair were alike impossible
lie was the Oldest, perhaps the noblest of /
class who are In India, and who will vet
change forever the tone Of our rule. and Tho |
characteristics Of our rulers.

Tomatoes.

A corrcspodcn, Of the Genesee Farmer,
gives his mode Of growing tomatoes. lie
forwards his plants IN hot-bed or green
house, and grows them in pots until they
are foot or foot and half high, turning
them out about the second week in May.
lie plants them three feet apart IN lows
When planted, he drives down u few stakes,
six or eight feet apart, leaving them abou,
four feet high the whole length OF the rows,
and mailing a strip Of wood all along the
tops, and tying one or two lower down the
stakes to make a trellis. The ground should
be dug deep and made rich with manure,
and spoonful of guano mixed with the soil
around each root. We quote -"When
they have grown sufficiently long to tic to
the ,rellis, select two or three OF the long
es, shoots and tic them loosely to the trellls,
cutting away all other small laterals which
may grow on the main branches. letthese
main branches grow until they have come
in flower and set the first bunch of fruit ;
then pinch out the top, one joint above the
fruit. leaving the leaf entire. | then allow
il to 20 on again until il has lowered and
set another bunch of fruil, when the top is
pinched out one leaf above the bunch, the
same as the first, and so on of all the rest,
taking care to cut out all the laterals which
may grow on the main branches down to
the axlcs of the leaves, as oltenas they are
produced, but leaving the leaves entire. IL
any one will take this little extra trouble, lac
will be amply repaid and absolutely as

as early as those grown in any other way
out OF doors, aud frequently three days or a
week earlier. When ripe they will hang
longer on the vines without decaying. The

Sowing Clover and Grass Seed In
Snrinw.

Some OF the farmers Of Maine have been
in the habit of sowing clover ana grass seed
on the LIGHT SHOWS which frequently iaii IN
April. These SHOWS are generally Hgh'
level coating, and they receive and retain the
seed wherever il falls, and as they melt away
slowly by the sun, the seed Is let gently on
10 the earth, where II terminates as soon as
the weather becomes warm, ana goou
"ca,ch," as il is called, Is the result. a
pe,son who has been in the habit OF doing
This every spring. was complaining to us the
other day. because no SHOWS OF this descrip-
,ion had fallen, ON which he could SOW his
grass. .,
The editor OF the American Agriculturisi
in this (Aprill number, recommends sowing

A good crop Of clover, thus sowed, acts
partly as a mulch TO the grain roots, yieiGs
a supply of fall feed, and is most admirable
to be turned under when knee high neS'

be applied to any SOIL"
This turning under clover when "kne'

Maine We think that our farmers would
find il an economical way Of dressing
their soil, especially for grain crops. The
most of us, however, think when our clo'

Beautiful Sentiment.

Bernard, a divine OF some note in the
seventeenth century, has the following
beautiful sentiment, which the reader can
not but admire, "Such is the remarkable
efficiency Of the word of God, that while It
humbles il exalts US. This is, indeed, the
kind and powerful operation Of the word
BY whom all things were made; and thus
indeed Christ's yoke becomes easy and his
burden light. For what can be lighter than
a load which even carries every person who
bears it-a burden which unburdens the
soul; In all nature seek to find some re-
semblance to this, and seem to discover
shadow Of il in the wings of bird, which
are born by the creature, and yet sustain
and support its flights through the open tir-
manent Of heaven"
