That the main source Of revenue Of a newspaper

HOW TO, GET a HUSBAND. Z,


the Columbus (Miss) Iadsr, of.June 8, we copy
the following, expressly for the girls. y
. Being old, and; therefore, allowed license for
teasing the girls on matrimonial subjects, lconsuh
them about their future prospects often, and 6nd'
that the opinion obtains with them, that the young
men were never so slow in proposing as in these
days which, we must admit, gives them . good
not to say alEpowerul reason for not taking hps-
band. Now, young ladies, the whole secret with
nine tenths of fyou of not being able to get off your
parents hands is simply this: you don't know how
to work. You can't keep house. You cant tmake
a pair of breeches. You can't tell, for the life Of
you, the difference between the bran and shorts
or which COW gives the buttermik The young
men generally came out of the war with the skin
of their teeth" with no fortune, Imight say, but
their wardfobes Of gray and their canteens, and
to marry with hem now, rest assured, relates more
to making q living with the assistance Of allowing,
industrious help-mate, than mdulging in opera
music, moonshihe and poetry. Doyou know what
they say Of one Of your butterfly young ladies,
who has held them in the parlor engaged BY the

not make good wife ~ =
There Is no possible objection to the accomplish
ments of music, painting, and the like, as such,
but the idea is to be able to set these parlor amu
ments aside for the period when the stern duties
of married life call for your practical knowledge.
Show the young men that you can do your part
of double business; that you can cook meaPs
victuals on pinch; that you can sweep up and
dust, and darn old stockings, and save q penny to-
ward an accumulated pound; that yop win not be
a dead expense to him through life, Believe me,
young friends, as many true, heroic, womanly
hearts, beat over household duties as futter be-
meath the soft light Of parlor chandelier. Your
kiss is just as sweet, your smile just as bright,
your heart as happy and tender, after . day : sx-

in places Of dissipation, fippery and silly amuse-

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, MOTHER

.'Twelve or fifteen years ago." says ExGovern-
or Briggs, tT left Washington three or four weeks
in the Spring. While at home, I possessed my
self of the letters Of Mr.. Adams mother, and
read them with exceeding interest. I remember
an expression in one of the letters addressed to
her son, while yet boy twelve years of ,sin
Europe. Said she: 81 would rather see you laid
in your grave, than you should grow up profane
and graceless boy" ~. tst,:
CATER returning to Washington, I went over
and said to Mr.. Adams: T have found out who
made you!' ...7 n "
sWhat do you mean?" said he.
'I replied, I have been reading the letters Of
your MOTHER" ~ ,Nss
"Had spoken of that dear name to some little
boy who had been for. weeks away from his dear
mother, his eyes could not have flashed more
brightly, or his face glowed more quickly than did
the eye and face Of that venerable old man when
pronounced the name Of his mother. He stood
up in his peculiar manner, and emphatcally said:
Yes, Mr.. Briggs, all that is good in me owe to
my mother" .-.. . y,a.. .a!..s 81

erable man to his mother who bad, in his renaem-

their children, and those are last to be efaced.
