To discharge their full duties as domestic
"help-meets,' the women of our land need to
know how to economize in the use Of food
and clothing; to cook and wash, starch and
iron; to sew and knit; to patch and mend; /;
and If to these, they add the higher accom-
plishments of operating a domestic spinning
jenny and selEacting hand loJm, they will
be all the better qualified to aid the fortunes
of their husbands If they have any, or to live
independently of private bounty or public
charity, should circumstances ever oblige them
to rely upon their own efforts for living
Our lady "B" seems to think that such un-
welcome operations would be throwing the
present generation back upon the dial of time
to the Revolutionary age of our fathers, who
were accustomed, she says, "to fell trees, saw
wood, plant cOrn," &C., and whose hardy
wives 'spun and wove cloth anu cooked din
ners." II return, by the women of the
present day, to these by-gone habits, is to
make them fit for wives now, very coolly does
she inquire, "Why not make men fit for hus-
bands, by having them cut wood, draw water,
and perform the lnnumerable household
chores that their revolutionary grandfathers
did?" Ay-so we say-why not2 Her log
ic is sound; we accept it cheerfnlly. If, then,
We agree that telling trees, planting corn, saw
ing wood, threshing grain and doing the house

for the degree 'F. F. H." she, by her own

proposition, that no graduate from female
college should leave the institution until she
can bear worthily upon her crown the appro-

the wives or daughters of a family to have one
of these handsome pieces of furniture in their
house, than more costly parlor organ or pi-

chine at the family fireside. One girl or wo-
man can make all the substantial cloth which
the household requires, besides manufacturing
largely for the market: or she may take IN
work from the neighborhoOd at satisfactory
compensation. The general introduction OF
these machines amongst the farmers and other
industrial classes in Maine, may yet make fe-
male labor more scarce and dear in factories

spinning wheel and framed loom may be, it
gives us pleasure to say they are not atogeth-

too proud to operate them. And the fabrics
which are made by means of them, are more
honest, comfortable and durable than any of
the imported goods. The writer of this wears
cloth every day, made from the wool of his
own sheep, spun and woven by an accom-

Many 'gude-wife" in our State takes the
wool from her husbands fleeces, and converts
it, by her own skill and industry, into stock

well as great comfort, to the family.
Visiting the homestead of Kennebec far
mer last autumn, the lady of the house, with
commendable pride, brought out for our in
spection, the results of her own and maiden
sisters operations upon the old-fashoned
spinning wheels and loom, the past summer.

THE REFORM SCHCoL.-In the debate on
the Reform School on Monday, Mr.. Farnham
of Greene, spoke as follows of the selEsacri-
ficing labors of the Portland men and women
who have so long maintained Sunday
school in that Institution:
1 wish to introduce few remarks here in
regard TO the Reform School, not pertinent to
the precise question under discus sion. When
the rest OF the Legislative Committee left this
city to visit that Institution, 1 started from
another point, on different railroad The
severe storm which was raging at the time
prevented me from joining the committee on
the road, and 1 was swallowed up, nearly
three days and three nights, in the belly of a
| snow drift,
arriving at the Institution SATURDAY., after
the other members lett, determined TO stop
| and see what was done for the bows on the
Sabbath. believe If any one wishes TO see
the sunny side" he should be there on the
| Sabbath. What wish to allude to particular
| ly is the Sunday School. A gentleman from
| the city OF Portland, who is superintendent of
| the school, and some fifteen or twenty teach
| ers, male and female, leave their homes every
| Sabbath-go to this Institution and labor ar
| gently for the moral reform OF these unfortu-
nate boys, without the least pecuniary re-
muneratioii. ! noticed, with pleasure, that
while the school were singing their beautiful
| songs and attending TO their rectations, q
number OF boys were melted TO tears. Now
these teachers do not ask TOR pay-a higher
and nobler purpose prompts them to labor,
but it seemed to me that we should, in some
way, notice their selt-sacritieing labors, which
believe have as much effect upon the boys,
for their reformation, as all other efforts coIn-
bined.
Sickness in my family prevented me from
having allusion made to this matter, in our
report, and wish that these remarks may be
published in our paper, that l may forward
copies to those who are thus nobly engaged.
