Domestic Economy.

The venerable DIR. Spofford, of
Groveland, makes the following sug-
gestions in the Hayerhill Gazette:
The cost of hired woman or girl
in the house during the last seven
years, has been on an average at least
$3.50 n week, and her board $3.50
more, and the extra cost Of the fuel
and cooking, between its being used
by prudent wife or servant who has
no object or interest in saving, will
make at least $50 more, making the
extra expenses of keeping a maid or
doing ones own work, 5000 year, or
in twenty years, which is n kind of
average time for families to secure in
dependence or break down, amounts
TO $4,000, to be made or lost by Just
this one item of domestic economy.
But the writer and several of his neigh
bors, have now kept house for fifty
years, in which time the sum would
amount to 10000, a sum which would
have swept off every yestige of prop
ertv any of us could ever pretend to
possess, and left us poor and destitute,
or dead long since with disappoint-
ment, hardship and modification.
A great deal is said at the present
day about education, and thousands
of dollars of public money are expend-
ed to induce parents to spend their
lives and estates to keep their daugh-
ters in the parlor or at scheol, study
ing Latin, aud Algebra till they are
eighteen or twenty years of age, when
great majority of them must become
the wives Of farmers and mechanics
The Vermont transcript. [volume] (St. Albans, Vt.) 1864-1870, 1865-10-20

of moderate means, or remain forever
single. No man but a millionaire, or
great capitalist, can afford to marry n
wife who has been educated TO think
herself a learned lady, to be always
dressed for the parlor, and above the
cares and labors of the kitchen; and
every man of sense who expects to
work with heads or hands for living,
will select the young woman for a
helpmate who can cook and make but
ter and cheese and clothes, rather
than the one who has a diploma, or is
remarkable for her proficiency in Ian
guagcs, mathematics, and music.
That kind or amount of education
which creates distaste for the labors
and cares of new England house
hold, or a taste for dress above what
father or husbands can afford or
which even absorb all her own earn
Ia. or which leads to round of visit
ing in rich and senteel families, is in
nine cases out of ten misplaced, and a
source of endless chagrin and disap.
pointment.

Captain, Save The Ship.

Beware whom you suffer to come aft
Trust no man who has been a traitor
Trust no man who has given aid or
comfort directly or indirectly, South
on North, to treason.
Remember: the dreadful war was
waged, the policy of three generations
controlled, by slavery. Slavery was
treason,
Remember; the rebels, servants of
the slave power, though forced to lay
down their arms, yet hope and seek
to re-establish slavery, to consummate
treason,
Watch slavery, then, as treason in
carnate, till it shall be utterly dead
and buried out of sight
Chosen for your loyalty, pledged to
the extinction of treason, you have, by
the providence of God, been called to
take the helm.
Remember that loyal people, deaf
to party, needing the call of humanity
alone with one voice babe their great
captain extirpate treason and slavery
forever; and the whole world cried,
Amen.
Therefore, take no cousel of those
who think Of party or of politics.
Counsel with friends of freedom,
with the lovers Of their country, and
with them alone.
Heed only the voice of justice
Obey the law of liberty.
Beware, lest you underrate the dan
ger, as men did when the war began
1t is more insidious-it may be no less
now than it was then But remember
the danger now exists only by your
sufferance.
The loyal people of America, the
wronged race which fought her bat
ties, now endowed with freedom, hui
mainly, call ON you in this hour not
only to be true, but not let your de-
votion to truth be questioned.
Rebuke, then, the fell spirit which,
North and South, dares to begin its
evil works, with the hope that you
may falter.
Let good men see, let bad men feel,
that you will carry out the work to
which Abraham Lincoln consecrated
himself as to task appointed of God.
Raise the race he freed.
Once more. Beware of treason,
whether in arms, as an assassin, or in
conventions and councils Of the peo-
pie, or in your own cabinet. Do not
trust traitors or their friends to take
your reckoning or work the vessel
/ Captain, SAGE The ship!

Those friendships that succeed to such
ayersions are usually firm, for those
qualities must be sterling that could
not only gain our hearts. but conquer
our prejudices in things far more seri-

because they have not examined.
and which they will not examine. be-

The question is easy to ask;

We're rather a serious task.
And vet. in ban.cring way,

The waters SO sparkling and clear,
Though the flavor il none of the best,
And the odorexceelingly queer;
pu, the duid is mingled, you know,
with wholesome medical things;
s, they drink, and they drink and they drink,
And that's what they do at the Springs.
Then. with appchtes keen az knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine,

When She eloquent dinner bell rings
A1i they eat and they eat, aud they eat
And thats what they do at the Springs.

Orlon ire the shades Of the trees,
Where many whisper is heard
That never is told boy the breeze:
Ana hands are comminghng with hands,
Regardless Of conjugal rings;
Anl obey dirt, and they hirt, and they dirt
And that's what they do at the Springs
Tas rawing rooms are now ablaze;
And the music is shueking away
T.f-icbore governs the hour,
AMI fashion was never SO gay
Aa arm round a taperng waist
Hos closely ani fondly it clings;

They talk AND they walk. ana they WOO,
They Sigh and they laugh, anl they weep,

AN UNHEALTHY HoUsE-A dark
house is always an unhealthy house,
always an ill-aired house, always dir
ty house. Want of light stops growth,
promotes scrofula, ricketts,, etc, among
children. People lose their health in
dark house, and if they get i'll, they
never get well again in it. Three ont
of many negligences and ignorances
in managing the health of houses gen
orally, | will here mention as speci-
mems. First: that the female head in
charge of any building does not think
it necessary to visit every hole and
corner Of it every day. Second that
it is not considered essential to air, 60
sun, and TO clean rooms, while unin-
habited. Third; one window is con
sidered enough to air room.-Flor-
ence Nightingale

The VIoLrSr DEArH OF WILLIAM l..
YANcEY. Till now it has generally
been understood that William l.. Yam
cey, the chief originator of the 'fre'
which subsequently proved so destruc-
tive to the Southern heart" died
natural death but it seems that his
end, like that of Ruifin and many
thousands of the rebel leaders, was
one caused by violence. The Nash
Vile Tenn. Banner relates the cir
cumstances of his injury and death as
follows the scene Of the former being
the Confederate Congress during its
second session:
"The question of q navy was under
discussion in secret session. The de-
bate ranged beyond the parliamentary
limits, and Messrs. Yancey and Hill
became animated over the abstract
doctrines of State rights and the di-
vinity of slavery. High words passed
and finally the lie was given by Mr..
Hill. Mr.. Yancey leaped forward, and,
as he aimed blow at his adversary,
was caught in the arms of the latter,
and violently thrown back over a desk.
