Girls Should Learn to keep House.

No young lady can be too well instructed
in anything which will affect the comfort of
a tsmily. Whatever position in society she
occupies, she needs practical knowledge of
household duties. She may be placed in
such circumstances that it will not be neces-
sary for her to perform much domestic la
Dor: but en- this account she needs no less
knowledge than if she was obliged to preside
personally over the cooking stove and pan
try. Indeed, have thought it was more
experience, than to do the same work with
our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and partic-
ular that they do not like to give up any
part OF the care of their children. This is a
great mistake in their management, for they
are often burdened with labor and need re.
lief Children should be early taught to
make themselves useful; to assist their par
ents every way in their power, and to con-
sider it a privilege to do so.
Young people cannot realize the impor-
tance of thorough knowledge of house
witery; but those who have suffered the
Inconvenience and modification of ignorance
can well appreciate it. Children should be
early INDUCED in their disposition to bak e
and experiment In various ways 1t is often
but troublesome help that they afford; still
1t Is great advantage to them. | know a

MARCH.

Trumpe. of Spring, with your clarion ring!
Blow as the stern winter closes;
Call in the songsters with throats all atune,
GsyIy rehearsing the carols of June,
Sung at the feast of the roses.
Under the lodges where yesterday hung
FIinges of silyery splsndor,
Ieicle borders and chrystaline gems,
Meek little daisies with emerald stems
Send forth their shoots young and tender.
Beautiful vioiets, fragrant and fair,
How with the sunbeams they daily
Though the fierce March winds so cruelty blow,
Early they venture to peep through the snow,
Sweet pioneers of the valley,
Where tn white king of the forest hath held way
Where he hath scattered his treasures,
Soon the fresh clover will spring up amain,
Dotted With buttert ups over the plain,
Herald of summers bright pleasures.
