YAaKEE WOMEN.

The Boston Courier makes the fol-
lowing humiliating confession.
A religious periodical speaks OF the
low grade of domestic morals, which
seem to prevail to large extent in our
New England families. and of the reluc-
tance of parents to make their children
obey. the common rudeness and arro-'
gance of boys and girls, the great pre-
valcnce OF untruth amongst the younG,
the license and familiarity yofintercourse
which Is allowed the growing youth of
different sexes, the murder OF living but
unborn children, and the number of ille-
gitimate birihs." This is terrible in
dictment against our New England
morals, but any man of observation in
our principal cities and centres OF pop
ulation will acknowledge the sincere
and ex lct truth. Every middle aged
man must be struck at the contrast be-
tween the young of his youthful days
and the young of the present time. The
streets are literally thronged with youn
women in sumptious end even gorgeous
attire, which is not their exceptional
holiday raiment, but their daily, usual
dress. These young women have a
beauty of face aud person which is as
exquisite as 1T is ileeting and evanescent
Their whole appearance Indicates that
they are things of adornment and lux
ury merely aud not for use, or for the
fulfilment OF the functions of woman
hood. Their girlhood will never pass
into matronhood. They have not the
physical stamina to undergo fhe trans
formation. a precocious coolness and
selfassurance charactelizes them, as
they do their young male compatriots,
what is called chee6, a smartness, and a
certain precocitv ofmind and body both
which always betokens short-lived
race, aresthe characteristics of the youn-
ger generations of our male and female
population. The war filled New Eng
land with wealth, and she1was rich be-
fore. Her manufacture of textile fab
rics was enormously stimulated, so
that elegance anG luxury of costume be-
came universal. We live here in almost
as much of a hot-bed civilization as that
of Paris, and it has been said that a Pa
ris born male of the third generation is
no more robust than woman. We
are evidently becoming, in the persons
of our younger folk of both sexes, a
people ct hasty growth and blight.

NARROWING.

In narrowing, it is best to pass over
the piece lengthwise the first time; then
diagonally; aud lastly across the fur
rows. Always roll the land in the first
place; this will press down the furrow
Slice, and give greater efficiency to the
action of the harrow, by obviating the
tearing up and displacement OF the sods
by the teeth. Ilarrows OF different de-
arees of lineness should be used. espe-
CiJlly where fine filth Is desirable, and
this Is always the case when grain or
small seeds are to be sowed. Where
but one harrow Is employed, much OF
the strength Of the team as well as a
large portion of the time aud labor ex-
pended in the operation, Is unayoida-
bly, lost.

GRAIN RIcKs.

AS this Is the sea son for putting grain
in ricks, we will state the manner In
which man OF observation In this couE-
ty, who is both farmer and miller, says
the ricks snould be made TO preserve the
grain in the best manner. The rick
should stand North and South, with the
Northern end smaller than the South
ern, and several feet higher in the mid
die than elsewhere. When built and
located in this way all, except n very
small portion OF the rick, gets the bene-
fit of the sun.

THE TRUE LADY.

A true lady Is easily recognized In
public places by her neat aud tasteful
dress, by her quiet and transformations,
manner and-if there is occasion for her
speak-b, her gentle voice aud choice
language. A loud, harsh voice aud
slang phrases coming from those who
in other respects who appear 70 have
been well brought mp, always Jars un-
pleasantly on the hearsr. There 4 a
long list of unauthorized words aud
phrases which are in common use. and
are supposed TO give a certain zest In
conversation, but which are far from el-
egant. They are coined In various pla-
ces-in the boarding school, IN college.
in the store, and In the street. Ouebv
one they enter the family circle, and be-
come disagreeably common. A man
who continually interlards his conver-

AGRTcULTuRAL SCHOOLS.

Agricultural education is more popu-
lar in Europe than in this country, and
the system of schools seems to be pre-
ferred to that of colleges. Russia has
sixty eight Agricultural schools and
colleges, one OF which has three thou
sand acres attached. In France there
are seventy farm schools, besides col
leges, three veterinary institutions, to-
cetler with an expenditure of over
100000 for the encouragement of agri-
culture in other ways. In Belgium
there are one hundred such institutions
aud agriculture is the most fashionable
callingin the Kingdom. In Saxony there
are five agricultural institutions, IN Ba-
varia thirty three, in Prussia thirty-two
in Scotland two, in Ireland sixty-three,
aud several in England.

STREET CAR PROPELLED BY COMPRESS

recently (slys the New Oh Ileans Times)
at the corner of Tohoupitoulas and
Jackson streets, for the purpose OF wit

cars economically, with compressed air
as the propulsiv1 agent. The car used
was an unwiediy concern, aud the air

inches in diamete;.. were made of boiler

moved or with all requisite velocity,
bearing its load of passengers.
All present seemed satisfied that the
proposed plan was not only feasible, but
would completely reyolurionize the
street car business. With the air cham .
ber constructed of some strong but light
substance, aud the machinery economi-
calIy made, the whole propelling power
for car would but little exceed the
price of single mule. Every street

Wet the stained part of the cloth, and
hold it tightly stretched and level over
the sulphurous flame ota common brim-

is desirable to prevent the cloth from
becoming dry, and keep its pores open
to absorb the coloring matter; this is eff
fected by the application of water, salt,
or butter.
