No young woman ought to feel
herself qualified to become a wife I'M
til she is sure that she understands how
to do the most that can be done with
her husbands money The manage
ment of q household is not thing to
be properly and safely entrusted to
hireling hands. A servant is a bro
ken reed for the head of family to
lean upon. There are a thousand lit
tie ways in which money must be ex-
pended, in which real shrewdness and
enterprise are requisit in order to use
it to the best advantage; ard there
are thousand other ways Of saving
money upon, only to those who have

the venerable Oak Trco-aU that it
has witnessed would fill a volume. -

for near two centuries. Many sto-

present | shall give a few | have
been credibly Informed by an old
gentleman, that it was large tree at
the time of the Revolution, aad also
that it marked the place of the first
graves in the yard, which is evidently
true, by having the Oldest grave stones
which are letteTed and dated, near the
roots of the tree, and from another
fact which I have witnessed several
times near it For several years past,
the sexton in opening graves near the
tree, would sometimes dig into old
graves, lost to all appearances on the
surface. likewise find some ancient
grave stones near its base, of which I
shall give a few.

prietor of Ringoe's old Tavern" and

Another monument near by reads
thus: Irenea, wife of VIM, Murihead,

age" The History of New Jersey
tells us that the former proprietor of
Ringoes old Tavern" "was buried
in small yard near the village, mark
ed with initial letters, and surrounded
by wide stone WALL" &c. This, I
am informed, is a son of the above
mentioned Alburtus Ringoe.
Some of our older citizens tell US
the tree in former years was hollow,
and that it was full of small stones in
side, which they had helped to put
there, by means of hole in the tree,
leading to the hollow part, which was
at the time of being cut, entirely
smooth on the outside, Cor bark) and
apparently sound. But on splitting
open the tree, only one single stone of
about a pound weight was to be found,
and that one near the ground.
The tree was fifty and half inches
in diameter, and about sixty-ffye feet
in length. It had stood to witness
