housekeeper; while in the present generation

excel in any other branch Of education, it must be
pursued with interest, patience, system and per.
severance. No woman exists, deserving the name
Of wife and mother, who would not feel compI-
mented, to establish the reputation Of making
her home happy for her family, well as
pleasant for her guests. To become intel
ligent housekeeper, lady must acquaint herself
with the laws of the human constitution, the
qualities of provisions and the mode of preparing
healthy, and, at the same time palatable dishes.
The great effort Of housekeepers should not be con-
fined to the present enjoyment of elegant dishes,
formed to please the taste without regard to utility
The daily food for a family should consist of the
elements most needed by its members, to develop
their systems. mentally and physically taking
into account their ages, health, employment, and
tastes
Entertaining such sentiments as these the author
has prepared this work for the instruction of her
American sisters. She has endeavored to make it
complete cyclopedla for the housekeeper; going
infinitely into many things, which, to experienced
person may seem superluous, but which must be
of great benefit to the young and inexperienced.
Our own knowledge of housekeeping enables to
say that it is a work which every housekeeper
will find Of essential service; indeed it is the best
work of the kink we have ever seen.

wl.wA WANDA Legend of Old Orange. New York Rudd &
Carleton
This work was most probably suggested by LoNG-
FELLOWS Hiawatha In 4 predatory note to the
reader the author whose name is not given, says:
When New Englands favorIte poet, with wise
forecast sought rescue the Indian traditions from
obliyion-from the shadows night was beginning to
throw across them-he judged the TrochSic, or Oc
tosyllabic measure with feminine endings, Of GER
tain Of the Latin poets, the most appropriate We
hicle and seized upon it accordingly. In attempt
ing to save the legendary lore of Old Orange,
more especially of the Wa-wayanda Grant the
same form of versifcation is here employed
After this the reader will rightly judge of the style,
and if he has a fondness for Indian legends he will
most probably procure and read the Wa-Wa-Wanda,
which is a very clever if not creditabe imitation of
Hiawatha.
