No young lady cal. be too well in
structed in anything which will af-
feet the comfort of family What
ever position in society she occupies,
she needs practical knowledge of
household duties. She may be plac-a
ell in such circumstances that it will
not be necessary for her to perform
much domestic labor but on this ac-.
count she needs no less knowledge
than if she was Obliged to preside
personally over the cooking stove
and pantry. Indeed, / have thought
1t was more difficult to dir .ct others,
and requires more experience, than
to 10 the same work with our own
hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and
particular that they do not like to
give up any part of the care of their
children. This is great mistake in
their management, for they are often
| burdened with labor and need relief.
Children should be early taught to
| make themselves useful to assist
their parents every way in their pow
| er, and to consider it a privilege to
| do so.
| Young people can not realize the
| Importance of a thorough knowledge
OF housewifery but those who have
suffered the inconvenience and NOR
| tification of ignorance can well APP
| preciate it. Children should be ear
| ~ indulgent in their disposition to
| bake and experiment in various
/ ways. 1t is often but troublesome
help that they afford still it is u
great advantage to them. / know q
little girl who at nine years old
made loaf of bread every week dur
l i,,rr ba 4, 70, \,
her how much yeast, salt and flour
to use, and she became quite an eX-
Ipert baker. Whenever she is dispos-
ed to try her skill in making simple
cakes or pies, she is permitted to do
SO. She is thus, while amusing her
self, learning an important lesso 4.
Her mother calls her little house-
keeper, and often permits her to get
what is necessary for the table. She
hangs the keys by her side, and very
musical is the jingling to her ears. /
think before she is out of her teens,
| upon which she has not yet entered
that she will have some idea how to
cook
Some mothers give their daugh-
ters the care of housekeeping, each a
week by turns. It seems to me a
/ good arrangement and a most useful
part of their education. Domestic
| labor is by no means incompatible
| with the highest degree of refine
ment and mental culture. Many OF
| the most elegant, accomplished wO-
men j have known have looked well
to their household duties, and have
honored them selves and their hus-
bands by 50 doing.
1 Economy, taste, skill in cooking,
and neatness o the kitchen, have a
! great deal to 10 in making life hap
Ply and prosperous. The charm OF
good housekeeping is in order, econ
omy and taste displayed in attention
to little things; and these things
have a wonderful influence. A dir
| ty kitchen and bad cooking have
driven many one from home to
seek comfort and happiness some
where else. None of our excellent
girls are fit to be married until they
are thoroughly educated in the deep
| and profound mysteries of the kitch-
en- Presbyterian.

y QUESTION ANswERED.-Wh
chine?
No doubt thousands ready TO answer the
question, because the people have been lead to
believe that Elias Howe is Tie genuistic parent
of the little instrument which to-day stands I'M
paralieled among scientific and wonderful IN
yentions. For there probably never has been
since creation, any instrument so simple and
useful to the whole civilized world rs this He
who stands in the arena OF science can look
about him and ask Where and when has mind
produced its parallel? Every man, woman
and child is directly benefited and improved
by 1t. And who can now understand the change
IN the condition of needicwomen wrought since
twenty years ago? Then it was stitch. stitch
stitch, to keep soul and body together Now
thou sands Of these lately so care-w worn, dis
couraged, Flooding slaves, ride in their car
riages, and wear purple and fine linen every
day. Whose wondrous brain conceived-whose
hand forged the chise that cut the link that
bound the poor sewing woman to lowest poy-
erty
III was WALTER Hunt, a citizen ofNew York
one of natures noblemen, an American, who
fourteen years before Elias Howe patented his
invention, made and perfected the machine
whose stitch to-day stands pre-eminent for
strength, beauty and durability, and is fully
developed in the "-ETSA' Nolseless Locked
Stitch Sewing Machine, sold ut o. Washington
street, Chicago, by j. ii. Lerow, the gentle
man who had the honor OF first Introducing
Naiter Hunt to the pioneer sewing machine
fraternity in lSJ0.-Prairie Farmer.

DREAD NOT TOMORROW.

Let tomorrow take care of tomorrow
Leave Things of the future to fate,
Never best to anticipate sorrow,
Life troubles come never too late
Ii to hope overmuch be an error
Ii Is one which the wise have preferred,
And how often have hearts been In terror
BY fearing what never occurred
Have faith, and thy faith shall sustaiII thee
Permit not suspicion aud care,
With invisible bands to enchain thee
But bear what God giyeth to bear
BY his spirit supported and sladtIcned,
BE ne'er by forebodings deferred;
But think how oft hearts have been ss,I.icnef
ByfearinS what meyer occurred
Let Tomorrow take care of tomorrow:
Short and dark IL our life may appear.
We may make it still shorter by sorrow
Still darker by folly and fear
lialf our troubles are half oar invention,
And often from blessings conferred
Have we shrunk in the wild apprehension
of fearing what never occurred

Professor Law, of the Cornell Uni
versity, i'll a treatise on "garget, ]"
and its cause, says: Diseases of the
teats will sometimes induce garget,
as when they have been injured by
reckless use of teat-tubes, or if the
milk is only partly drawn off i'll con-
sequence of open sores, resulting
from foot and mouth disease, COW
poX or warty growths. But the re-
tention of milk in the udder is not the
only evil attendant on bad milking.
Some mixers seize the root of the
teat between the thumb and fore
finger, and then drag upon it until it
slips out of their grasp. In this way
the teat and Sudder are subjected to
severe traction fer an indefinite
number of times, and in rude hands
is often severely injured. The proper
mooe of milking is to take the taat in
the entire hand, and after pressing 1T
upward. that it may be well filled
from the capacious milk-reservoir
above, 10 compress it first at the base
between the thumb and fore-finger,
then successfully by each of the
three succeeding fingers until COM
pletely emptied. The teat is at the
same time gently drawn upon, but
any severe traction is altogether
unnecessary and highly injurious.
These remarks on the mode of
milking. and those on milking clean,
are ruined from faults of this Kind
than from all other causes which act
specially on the udder.

THE BLACKS PRETTY
DAUGHTER.

Why do the horses come always at noon
To be shod at the blacksmith's shop
Atnoonday time, when the sun Is still
When the blacksmith is forced against his vii
To rest, and his work to stop
Just at noon, from his house on the hill
4 girl with pail comes thence;
Smiles come on her lips, ON her cheek 4 glow,
AS she sees the horses tied in row
Along by the blacksInith's fence
oh, but the blacksmth's daughter is fair
And the horses still look nj each other
3 much as to say, 'Now Isn't she sWeet2
We know why our masters say that our feet
Are giving them 50 much bother -
The bell rings one; and the blacksmith cries
Now, then, for work right away
But most of them say that it s growing late,
And they really think that they'd better wait
And come on some other day.
oh, blacksmith 3 daughter, your mother, too
w AS fair when your father sought heri
You re going in the way that she has trod
You ii be "A wife ere those horses arc shoi-

He is such naughty boy,
He the baby tried to smother
And he's broken Emma 5 tow
OF the doll gave to Ellen,
He had melted off the nose,
And there really is no telling
To what length his mischief goes
Last night he put cracker
Meath Aunt JeInima's chair,
And he told me such whacker
When asked how it came there.
Then when told poor old Mrs Toodlcs
Was just starting OF by rail,
He tied her two fat poodles
Fast together by the tail.
1t really is quite shocking
How ones nerves he daily Jars;
He puts pins into ones stockings,
And cayenne in ones cigars

Boyish trick he's daily at,
So IN whip him for his mother,
