Hon Teach Spelling.

Mine IS a sub masters class of ffty-six
BOYS in a grammar school of Boston,. [ al
low about twelve minutes for studying the
spelling lesson of about sixty words, and
three minutes for ruling and otherwise pre-
pairing the states on which the lesson is to- be-
written. [ then pronounce the first word,
which all write and some designated boy
again pronounces it, when ne has written 1t.
The second word is then pronounced, written
and again pronounced by the boy, and so on
through the lesson. Fifteen words arc writ
ten in each of four columns-two columns
on each side of the slate Beneath the last
column the name is written. The writing
usually occupies about ten minutes.
The States are then exchanged, and the
boys spell the words orally from the states
sometimes each boy spelling one word, bus
oftener ten words, until the lesson is all
spelled. If the word is incorrectly spelled I
give the correct spelling. A cross ~ is
put after each misspelled word. AT the Close
of the spelling the crosses are counted and
the number placed after the name Of the
owner of the slate, and the result given and
recorded This takes about five minutes
The whole time spent in studying, spelling
and getting the result of the lesson will not
exceed thirty minutes
To secure attention and honesty, the States
are frequently brought to the desk and re-,
examined by myself or by monitors, or both
by myself and monitors.
At the close of the school session each
boy records in small blank-book bis mis-
spelled words, and, at signal, all who have
misspelled one word stand an9 pronounce
and spell their word, then those who have
misspelled two words, and so on till all the
lesson has been correctly spelled.
At the close of themonth each boy spells
orally all the words recorded in his blank
book during the month.
Besides the lessons spelled in this way are
also spelled orally some time during the
month, and the failures made up at the close
Of the session as before described. --Ntssa-

For THE LADIES. the season for
wearing light colored fabrics is approaching,
the following method of preserving the cor
ors in washing these materials will be of in
terest. 1t is from a lady correspondent who
says she has never known it to fail: :
[ herewith send you an excellent method
for washing dresses Of printed muslins, lawns,
&c., so as to preserve the colors, whether
the pattern be printed in black or variegated
hues The dress should be washed i'll lather,
and not by applying the soap in the usual
way-direct upon the muslin. Make a lather
by boiling some soap and water together let
it stand until it is sufficiently cool for use,
and previously to putting the dress into it,
throw in handful Of salt; rinse-the dress,
without wringing it. in clear, cold water, in
to which little salt has been thrown; re-
move it and rinse it in 1 fresh supply of clear
water and salt Then wiring the dress in a
cloth and hang it to dry Immediately, spread
ing as open as possible, so as to prevent one
part lying over another. Should there be any
white in the pattern, mix little blue in the
watcr-Lynch6u1y Neacs.

CoNFIscATIoN AS A PoLITIcAL AGENCY
The wickedness of such political teachers as
would resort to con6scation in the South as
an engine for party recruitment is unspeaka-
BILE. It was but recently brought forward
in the meeting Of colorcd people at Rich
mond, Virginia, in resolutions inspired, of
course, by the few white extremists who at
tempt to use the colored men for their des-
perate and selfish purposes. The resolutions,
however, were not adopted. They were re-
ferred to a committee, and thus got out of
the way. But, it is said, they were univer-
sally popular with the more ignorant. The
New York Times well says that in the eye Of
every thoughtful man, confscation admits Of
only one Interpretation. It is the equivalent
of general spoliation, bloodshed and anarchy
There can be no liberty without order, and
no order without ample protection for the
rights of property. Invade these rights, and
inculcate the idea that one class shall be per-
mitted to seize and enjoy the lands and houses
of another class, and from that moment the
South will become second San Doniugo,
to end only in the determination Of whites
or Blacks This may be a strong statement
of the case, but it is the truth. And the
men who go about familiarizing the negroes
with the demand, and persuading them Of
it's justice, should be dealt with by the mill
tary commanders as incendiaries. The Rich
mond Examiner adds to what the Times
says, that if ever confscation is commenced
in the South, it will end in the north The
taste for plumber will not be satisfied by what
little property the Southern people have
GA word to the wise is sufficient "-Bult;-

MAKING BUTTER AND SUGAR FROM WHEY.
The Georgetown correspondent of the Oneida
Dispatch says:
''The newly invented mode of manufactur-
ing butter from whey, after cheese has been
made, has recently been introduced by a
gentleman from Truxton, Cortland county.
He proposes to make up the whey cream for
share, through the present season, leaving
with his patrons in the fall the art and the
apparatus. But the thing that took us back
entirely was the statement by gentleman
from Lincklaen, Chenango county, but a day
or two since, that a man had discovered the
art Of making sugar from what was left OF
the milk and whey after the butter and cheese
had been taken from it, and that he had seen
samples Of very fine sugar made from whey
through this process, From what is left then,
suppose, hogs and calves can be fattcd just
as well as from milk. After this, I suppose,
the bees stand just as good chance to make
honey as in the good old days when men had
not sought out many inventions This is
really killing three birds with one stone,
and having the stone left"

ANOTHER FAMINE IN IRELAND.-For day

ANOTHER FAMINE IN IRELAND For a day
or two past there has been an excited market
for Indian corn on the Produce Exchange Of
New York. Large quantities have been
bought for shipment to Ireland. Iii stated
in the World that the steamers of Sunday
and Monday brought private advices that the
supply of potatoes and other vegetables is
proving deficient in ireland, and that there
are no MEAS Of feeding the peasantry of that
country until another harvest, except with
the Indian corn that may be obtained from
the United States.

A QUEER W1Lb.-We have heard of a
rather queer will which was lately admitted
to probate in one Of the counties bordering
on the upper Cumberland. A wealthy old
citizen had two sons, one of whom was in the
Federal army, and the other in the Rebel
ranks. During the early part of the war,
the old gentleman was taken suddenly i'll,
and wishing to divide his property equally
between his two sons, bequeathed to Henry.
(the Federal soldier) all his slave property,
embracing about fifty negroes, and to Thorn
as, (the boy in gray) his entire landed estate.
He died, and thus the viii stands. Both
brothers lived to return from the war, and
the gallant soldier Of the lost cause being per
fectly satisfied that slavery was no more, gen.
erousIy divided the lands with his brother,
and both are living happily together, and are
bitterly opposed to the Radical programme.

OUR DEAD.

This, says the Memphis Avalanche, is the It'll
Of one of those truly national lyrics Father Ry
an has contributed to immortality through Th
Land We Lore, and it is of that brilliant natur
which will flash forth with "The sword Of Rob
ert Lee'':
Do we weep for the heroes that died for us.
Who, living, were true and tried for US,
And, in death, sleep side by side for US?
That martyr band
That hallowed our land
With the blood they poured in tide for us.
All! fearless on many day for us,
They stood in the front Of the fray for US,
And held the foeman at bay for us;
Fresh tears should fall
Forever-oer all
Who fell while wearing the gray for US.
How many glorious name for US,
How many a story of fame for us,
They left would it not be shame for us {
If their memory part
From our land and heart,
And wrong to them and a blame for as?
No no no they were brave for US,
And bright were the lives they gave for Us;
The land they struggled to save for Us
Cannot forget
It's warriors yet
Who sleep in so many grave for US.
No no no they were slain for u.s.
And their blood flowed out in a rain for us
Red, rich and pure, on the plain for us;
And years may go
But our tears will flow
Ger the dead who have died in vain for us.
And their deeds-proud deeds-shall remain
for us.
And their names-dear names-withouts stain
for us,
And the glores they won shall not wane
for US;
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
Though dead, shall live over again for us

ABOUT TITLEs.-The word 'female'' APP
piled to woman, is none the less, but all the
more Objectionable on account Of it's frequent
use in speech and print, 1t is employed adj
jectively and Substantially, when it can be,
with properiety only inthc former sense
but in either way it is neither fit nor fine.
The world is rather general than specific,
and is, at the best, awkward and inelegant,
if not vicious and course
Woman is the one word Of all words
that we need and should adopt. Woman
belongs to the same sweet Saxon class as
sshome," sheart," happiness" and heaven,
and is at once the simplest and the most
poetic term in the language to express gen.
tleness and tenderness, the devotion and low
ableness ofthe
''Fair daughters of old Eden's fairest Eve.'
Nothing can be more suggestive and pleas
ant through association than woman which
means what nothing else does or can convey.

Facts for the People.

It is a terrible thing to find ourselves old
and dependent. This can only be prevented
by adherence to the duty Of saving something
in our younger and ripper years. 1t is aston
ishing to what an amount small and incon-
siderable sum will swell in the course of time
"a sum ample to provide for all the neces-
sites and temporal cares of old age, the night
of our life in which no man can work. The
Cincinnati Times alludes to disciple of Dr.
Franklin, who shows how individual invest
ment may be accomplished by not ncglecting
the dayof small things The young should
act at once lay by something in view of the
approach of old age; and parents should en-
join upon them to begin system of economy
while young. This is the way the writer re-
ferred to show how a. sixpence may be con-
verified into fortune:
He gives table showing that q cents
saved per day would yield, at 6 per cent.
compound interest, 1900 in fifty years 81
cents day, $500; in the same time; 81
cents day, $500; IL cents, $11 600;
49,, $14,400; 27a, 500, 900; IS cents a
day would give s5S, Geo; 825, SS7 900;
pI.IO, SIlo,OOo, anu ipl.oi, sd'cu per
day would yield $145, GOO in fifty years. So
that if young man at q years Of age would
save 27a cents every day, or just $500 per
year, be would at II years of age be worth
500, 600, when just at the time he must
g close out for this he would possess a COM
potency. At 81 years of age he would have
ST SEQ, which would be enough to support
him in an old mans simplicity the balance
Of bis days. These facts are certainly worth
considering There are many who could not
save ''by hook or crook" more than $50 a
year, and they must have the best Of luck to
do that The balance Of mankind might, a
few Of them, save $1.37 per day, or $500
per year thus realizing $59, 500 at ffty-one
years Of age, $77,00 at sixty-one, and
$145, 600 at seventy-one years of age; but
the Larger portion of the remainder, who arc
on the other side Of the circle, could not save
more than 81 cents day, or $40 year,
giving them at ffty-one years of age 81 $50,
at sixty-one, So ,080, and at seventy $500
which would be great deal better than
nothing.
