From tie Duquoin Gazette Southern Illinois,
We learn that Mrs. Catherine Beecher, with
the peculiarly and originality belonging TO that
remarkable Beecher family, has recently been
developing a novel and pleasing scheme for the
PRONUNCIATION of Yankee intelligence and Gus
TOMS among our poor benighted denizens OF
southern Illinois, thus letting ia a flood OF light
upont this Egypt of the Occident. 1t is proposed
TO form a New England company, who shall
purchase an extensive tract OF land in this be
clouded region. and thereupon erect a neat and
commodious set of buildings Of the most ap-
proved order Of architecture, and furnished with
the most orthodox Massachusetts, taste, and then
send a colony Of Massachusetts missionaries on
the merciful mission of teaching the ignorant
women of our unhappy Egypt the systematic
order of New England housekeeping. Schools
of instruction will also be erected, in which
theoretical agriculture will be taught Our be-
nFhted domestic management of affairs viii be
superseded by the introduction of Mrs. Cathe-
rine Beecher' Cooking Book.
The department Of literature will be enriched
by a library containing Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stoves graceful, original and truthful novel,
entitled Uncle Toms Cabin" The depart
ment Of religion will boast of several volumes of
sermons, mostly by the Rev. Lyman Beecher,
while the theory Of political economy will be lu-
minously enriched by Jewels from the cabinet of
Henry Ward Beecher, Esq, humOrist, Jester and
clown for Plymouth Church congregation,
Brooklyn, Long Island.
In fact, il is proposed to furnish from the
Bescher family all the materials requisite for the
reformation of poor drunkened Illinois, (varie-
gated theology ineluded.) Music viii also be
taught, a sweet, canting, hypocrihcal tone OF
voice, to suit the melody Of
A Prude at mora and evening prayer
Upward had taught her eyes 10 roll
Asr II 10 watch her soaring soul '
Thither the hocks of Lowell factory girls viii
futter, ike a cloud of divine, white doves, to
these proposed white model cottages, upon these
our green p~rairies OF Illinois, and around their
columns and over whose roofs the emerald con
~yolvulii will Irvine and throw forth pink and pur-
pie vases to the sunshine, the showers and the
appreciation of Mrs. Catharine BeecheT,
