Don't complain of your birth, your

something ifyou only had q different lot
or sphere assigned to you. God UNDER
stands bis own plans, and knows what
you want better than you do. Tho
very things that you most doprccatc a.
frtal limitations and distractions, arc
probably what you most want. What
yoa call hindrance and Encouragement,

is nothing to dislike his medicines, or
any certain proof that thcy are poisons.
No! truce to all such impalicncc.--
Choke that dcyilish envy which gnaws
at your heart because you are not IN
the samc lot with others; bring down
your soul, or rather bring it up to re-
ccive Gods will and do his word, in
your sphere under your cloud Of obscur-
ity, against your temptation, and then
you shall find that your condition Is
never opposed to your good, but really
consistent with it.

THE KITCHEN.

We will give to intellect, to immor-
tality, to religion, and to all virtues, the
honour that belongs to them. And still
it may be boldly affirmed that economy,
taste, skill, and neatness in the kitchen,
have a great deal to do in making lif
happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispcnsably necessary that
house should be filed with luxurics.-
All the qualifications for good house
keeping can be displayed as well on
small scale as on large one.
A small house can be moro easily KEEP
clean than palace. Economy is mos
needed in the absence of abundance.
Taste is as well displayed in placing
the dishes on pine table as in arrang
ing the folds of damask curtain.
And skillfull cooking is as readily
discovered in a nicely baked potato, Of
a respectable iohnny-cakc, as in nut
brown sirlon or brace of canvas backs
The charm OF good housekeeping IS II
the order, economy and tas;c displayed
in the attention to little things; and
these little things have a wonderful in
tluenco.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking
have driven many an one from home to
seek for comfort and happiness some
where else.
Domestic economy is n science-a
theory oflifc, which all sensible women
ought to study and practise. None OF
our excellent girls are fit to be married
until they are thoroughly educated in
the deep and profound mysteries of the
kitchen.
See to it, all &c who are mothers, that
your daughters arc all accomplished BY
an experimental knowledge of good
housekeeping.

A SIGHT THAT I SAW.

Once when was little girl, poar
old drunkard lived in sight of my faith
cr's house. His wife had been well
raised and was still refined, notwish-
standing the misery and wretchcdncss
that surrounded her. They had little
boy named George, who was very sickly,
and mother used to send me with biscuit
and coffee for his breakfast. Poor littEo
George he was as gentle as lamb,
though he looked the picture of death.
His mother was too feeble to procure him
any comforts, and his father would not,
but still he never complained; he loved
his mother too much for that.
Once, when George had just recover
cd from severe illness, his mother was
taken sick, and was very low for many
weeks. At last she began to rccoycr;; and
one day when she was just able to walk
about, as | and my little friend were
going by there to school, we heard the
most awful noiso you ever imagined
mingled with screams, shrieks, prayers
and curses. We ran and looked over
the fence, and saw old iIankin with 3
ropo around Gcolgc's mech, dragging
him across the yard and swearing no
would hang him, while Mrs. IIankins
and the two girls filed the air with their
screams.
o! it was horrid ! am shuddcring
now, and always shuddcr when ] think
of it. Ny friend and screamed too,
and the people on tho opposite street
came and rescued George s!ssccss; his 5-.:-
tai fother.s
After the nighbors left, he tried TO kill
his wife. She fled for her life, and my
mother took her in. Tho POOR old
creature was frightened nearly to death.
It was painful 20 see her jump and start
at every noise, until old Hankin was
carried to jail: and then she returned
to her miserblc homo.
This is a sad story for you, but It IS
true and | have a great reason for
telling it. 1t will show you what a re-
voting thing drunkenness is. An old
lady told me that she remembered when
Mrs. Hankin was tho loyelicst girl in
the viIlage--the belle and heiress Of the
place. She was ruined by marrying q
drunkard.
Old Hankin, when young. was no
doubt nice young man, or Mary Ray
mond would not have married him !;
but strong drink brought him to be tho
old brute that tried to hang his .nneeenl
little boy and kill his poor sick wife.
Little boys beware--and girls /! never
marry a man that drinks.

A SINGULAR SERMON

Four gentlemen and an old minister
were assaulted on the highway by three
robbers, who demanded and took pos
session of all their fands. Tho old min
stcr plead very hard to be allowed lit,
tie money, as he was on his way to pay
bill in distant city. The highway
men, "bcing generous fellows, gave hsm
all his money back again on conditions Of
his preaching them b sermon" Ae-
cordingly they retired little distance
from the highway and the minister adj
dressed them as follows:
"Gcntlcmen--You are most like the
old apostles of any men in the world, for
they were wanderers upon the earth and
so are you they had neither lands nor
tencmcnts that they could call their own;'

fact, If buy mans property and sell
and change the investment twenty times
over he ought to be allowed to dIvest
me ofal have If j! required that much
to settle the demand. The homestead
is simply Of no use to an honest man,
but n curse il destroys his credit with
out his consent as it fastons his property
upon his family at any time. and crcdi-
tors can't tell when it may be done. The
Legislature tried to do thing for the
people in general which they had no
right to do. They had no right to say
what property a man held at the time
the law was passed should not be subject
to tile debts he then owed, and they
have no right to say any mans proper
ty shall be exempt who does not want it
exempt. If a man wishes his property
set aside for the use of his family, him
self or any one else, By paying all ofhis
debts and leaving his property uncn-
numbered he has perfect right to do
so, now, and always bad. Any law vol
unfairly enacted by the Legislature set
ting up honestcads for families and as
suming an agency that don't belong to
them rightfully, is wrong, The Leg's-
lators of the day are dcvoting too much
time to class Legislation in passing local
and individual bills. i for one think it
is time for us to open our eyes and look
to our interest and try to change mem
bors of the General Assembly who are
voting for such laws.

LEFT OUT OF THE INAUaURAL.-Presiden
Grant, in the wide sweep of his inaugural ad-
dress, found it impossible and unnecessary to
go into details. Aware, perhaps, that many
pious people had appointed prayer meetings
in his behalf to be held at the very time when
he should be exposed, as they feared, to the
DEVILS clutches at the Inauguration ball, he
abstained altogether from expatiating in his
inaugural upon the questionable morality Of
s'the light fantastic toe" He made no record
Of his impressions at witnessing In Niblo's
Garden the exhibition Of Miss Lydia Thomp-
son and her Forty Female Thieves. He said
nothing about his opinions Of the Black Crook,
or of the cancan, or OF the opera 6ou6e.
He wisely left out Of his inaugural illusions to
any Of these msnu-pIaisirs Of the public, and
relinqushed all interference within this pro-
vince to the emperors and kings Of Europe
and to the railway kings Of Wall street.
The New York herald., 1869-03-06
Graut,s style.

The democrats dislike Grants style, or want
of style. They say his inaugural is without
''that grave and sustained propriety of ex-
preston which BELTS the chief magistrate of q
nation;" that it wants ''dignity" and ''mascu-
line eloquence," DC. This is q pretty old
quarrel. Every one will remember the rogue
who, when driven from the last legitimate
bubble of his defence, found fault with the
grammar Of the judges sentence. Style is the
better or worse use of the tropes that are cata-
logued in the books Of rhetoric, and It is q
general rule that utterances particularly rich
in style are poor in everything else, as any ono
may see in the articles of those who find most
fault with Grant. Grant had something to
say, and was little solictous of anything but
the direct definite expression Of his thought.
He declares himself in the words of the
people, too conscious of his thought to fear
that such words would belittle it, 1t is always
otherwise with those whose utterances are to
the taste Of the rhetoricians; for they are
justly fearful that without the ornaments of
language they will not be worth listening to.

Nor At TIE INAUGURATION BALL.--Ons
solitary, big, burly negro, ''said to be Bishop
Simpson, of some African army bound for the
happy land of Canaan" is mentioned az having
stood, on the day Of President Grants inaugu-
ration, at the east door of the Senate chamber.
But at the Inauguration ball in the evening
neither Sambo nor Dinah was present. The
'colored element Of the population" was con-
vinced that II would lose nothing by refraining
from obtrusively thrusting itself forward on
that occasion. The enemies and the injudi-
clous friends Of Sambo and Dinah were thus
alike disappointed
The New York herald., 1869-03-06
The Faithful Collection OF the Revenue.

The Faithful Collection OF the Revenues
The inaugural Of the President contains
repeated reference to the revenue collections
which are worthy Of note. To good faith in
the payment of the public debt he says
s'should be added faithful collection of the
revenue and strict accountability to the Trea-
sury;" and, again, he assures us that he twill
endeavor to collect all the revenues assessed"
and that he twill appoint to Office only those
who will carry out this design" This is an
open declaration of war against the whiskey
rings, whether high or low, in which the Presi-
dent will have the support of every honest
citizen, Of whatever party he may be.
1t has been authoritatively stated that the
estimated losses to the revenue through the
guilt or incapacity Of the revenue officials have
amounted to not less than one hundred millions
Of dollars yearly. The leeches who have sucked
this blood from the veins of the body polite
will make strong fight to maintain their
schemes Of plunder, and the Senatorial shield
under the terms Of the Tenure Of Office bill is
relied upon as their main defence Rapid
justice upon the heads of the guilty is the
best guarantee Of honesty, while Mrdy delay
is the hope and refuge of the criminal. 1t is
in securing delay that the Senatorial refusal to
repeal the Tenure of Office bill holds out aid
and comfort to the rascal in office. Let that
law be repealed that honesty may prevail.

SYMPATHY IN BERLIN. doubt the express
sions from Berlin will astonish many readers
who hear Of Bismarck only in the kilograms and
perhaps hold him as myth. But we believe that
these expressions flow naturally from German
thought, and we also believe that there is a
more intelligent sympathy with this nation In
Germany than in any other country of Europe

rally holds out his hand to the great man Of q

Mr.. STEWARDS ELIGIBILITY AS A MEMBER
OF THE CABINET.-An old and obsolete statute
OF the United States, passed in 1889, which
precludes an importer or trader from becoming
an officer Of the government under GER
tain circumstances, has been revived in
order to prevent Mr.. Stewart from taking
the position Of Secretary Of the Trea-
sury. There is not the slightest doubt
that this statute has been regarded as a
dead letter in hundreds OF instances since our
government was framed, and to galvanize IL
now Is like restoring the revenue laws OF three
quarters Of century past and gone Presi-
dent Grant wants Mr.. Stewart as his Secretary
Of the Treasury, and all that Congress has to
do is to repeal the law and recondrm Mr..
Stewart in the place.

IMPORTANT FROM PARAGUAY.-Ou despatch
es from Paraguay, by Atlantic cable via Lis
bon, received last night, inform us that Presi-
dent Lopez is still at the head of considerable
army and is fortifying himself in the interior
Of the country. Dissensions have arisen
among the allied commanders, and two Of
them, the Marquis de Caxias and General
Herval, have resigned. This intelligence
gives new phase to this protracted war; for
tofore have been mainly effected by their
united and harmonious action 1t would not
be surprising to hear before long that Presi-
dent Lopez has again assumed the offensive
and given the invaders a thrashing.
