perform in this world. They have no
habits OF industry, no taste for the use
iul, no skill in any really useful art
They are in the streets, not in the per-
formahce of their duty, or for the acqui-
sition of health, but to see and be seen.
They expect thus to pick up IL husband
who will be as indulgent as their parents
have been, and srpport'them il idleness.
Those who SOW wind in this way are sure
to reap the whirlwind. No lie can be
exempt from cares. How mistaken an
education do these girls receive who are
allowed to imagine that life is always to
be garden of roses! Labor is the great
law of our being. How worthless will
she prove who is unable to perform IL.
"lt has been observed that, by far
the greatest amount of happiness In civ
lllzed life is found in the domestic rela-
tons, and most of those depend on the
home habits of the wife and mother. -
Whata mistake is then nude by our
young girls and their parents, when do
mestic education is unattended to Our
daughters should be taught practically
to bake, to cooi, to arrange the table,
to wash and iron, to sweep, and to do
everything that pertains to the order
and comfort of the household. Domes-
tics may be necessary, but they are. "a
necessary evil, and the best Z" help n
woman can have is herself. If her hus-
band is ever so rich the time may come
when skill in domestic employment will
secure to her comfort which no domes-
tic can procure. Even if she is never
called to labor herself, she should at
least, know how things ought to be done,
so that she can never be cheated by her
servants.
domestic Education cannot be ac-
quired in the streets. 1t cannot be learn
ed amidst the frivolities of modern soci-
ETY.. A good, and worthy, and comfort
bringing husband can rarely be picked
on the pavement.
"The nymph who walks tho public streets,
And sets her cap for all she meets,
May catch the fools who turns to stare,
But men of sense avoid the snars.'
The highest and best interests of soci
ETY. in the future demand better, a
more useful, more domestic training

Terrible Fall and Fatal Result.

One of those horrible casualties which
sometimes happen, and the recital Of which
chilla the blood Of tn. listener, occurred on
Saturday aterhnon, at half past ) o'clock -
Mr.. Washington Lynch, Il timer, had been
emuloycd duIiug the day in fitting water pi-
pes to the new five story building of Blair,
Reynolds Il Walsh near the Custom House
As il was Saturday night, and fast growing
dark, he hurried his work, 50 as to 20 home
to his family, and spend that sweetest of all
times to the laboring man-Saturday even
ing with his wife and children. His work
was almost finished, when he had occasion to
oin Il pipe, way up in the fourth story OF
the brilding. The wall; there, which is Ia
chg the Custom llunse forms an angle, the
edge Of winch it was necessary for him to
reach to perform his work Taking board,
he placed it obliqurly out of the window, the
farther end OF it resting against the spot which
lie wished to reach. To secure the plank in
its place he put an upright ioist on the end
that was inside the building, one extremity
of the inist resting on the board, and the
other against the upper floor With only
this slight platform to separate him from the
solid pavement that lay seventy feet beneath
him, he walked out to his work. The plank
stood firm until he reached the end, which
was some six feet from the building, when
he leaned over to reach the pipe The weight
of his body bearing against tha oblique in-
cline ofth board forced it back to straight
line, and flying in an instant from beneath
his feet it precipitated him head foremost to
the pavement below. lie struck ON the soI-
id stone with heavy chud forcing his body
into itself like the barrels Of a tclcSruDc. -
