STERLING ADVICE.

A lady makes some sensible suggestions,
in London journal, on the subject Of
marriage or celibacy, few Of which we
annex, and say that there are great deal
of truth in them.
"When girl marr1ea she ought, to a
certain extent, give up her acquaintances,
and consider the company of her husband
the best company she can have The
young wife must learn cooking carefully,
ii she does not already have a good
knowledge of it. There are many ex-
cellent cookery books, but she must not
follow them implicitly. My own plan,
for some time after I was married, was to
take some recipe given, and not, carefully
what ingredients could be dispensed with
The second time | generally managed ii
at half the expense. A useful plan is tc
keep blank book in the kitchen table
drawer, and whenever deviation from
he orthodox cookery book is made, to jot
1t down. Do not wait till you have
washed your hands let the book BIZ
flnger-marked rather than lose an idea
You will thus learn more Of household
economy than if you trust to memory
alone; and when your daughters grow up
what fund of practical Information il
will be for them
"To a great extent, the cellbacy of oul
young men is owing to the way in which
girls are brought up. Through mistaken
kindness mothers often themselves do wha
they ought to make their daughters do
Let them teach housekeeping on fixed
methodical plan, and then they will learr
their history, French and music all tht
better. 1t is natural and right that E
mother should wish to see her daughter
we'll educated and even highly accomplish
ed and it is mistake that good and
careful education should unfit girl fol
the homely duties OF cooking, busting, &c
On the contrary, those duties would BIZ
better performed if mothers would,at the
same time that they seek talented in
structors for their daughters, impart tt
them some of their own culinary talent
there would be more good wives anC
marriages. Little girls should be taught
as early as possible, to pfeform simple
household duties neatly and as they
grow older, let them become gradually
acquainted with the theory of housekeep
ing In such manner that, when they are
married, they will be able to adapt them
selves to their circumstances, and b,
useful as well as pleasing companions tt
their husbands"

A FARMER CoNrIDENoED. An old gentle
man in Polk county, Mo-, Of considerable
wealth, was some time since made the dupe
Of misplaced confidence in the following man
ner, as related by the Bolivar Free Press!
A band OF gypsies appeared in the neigh.
borhood, remaining several weeks. A woman
belonging to the party made the acquaint.
ance OF the old gentleman, and communicated
to him the startling intelligence that large
amount Of treasure was concealed on his
place, and that by obsying her instructions
he could secure it. This he agreed to do.
She then informed him that he must deposit
all of his money in q certain place. After
the lapse OF q few days the whereabouts Of
the treasure would be revealed to him. He
accordingly deposited the sum Of 9S 200 In q
hiding place known only to himself and the
gypsy. When several days had passed, abe
again appeared unto him, stating that her
incantati0ns would not work, and assigning
as reason that he had failed to deposit eli
his money In the hiding place, so stipulated.
He then added CIT more to the amount, but
still the spell which was to result In laying
bare the hidden wealth proved unsuccessful.
He then agreed to let the gypsy take the
package of money into her keeping, Ia order
several days, then returned with the entire
amount and they counted 1t over together.
The gypsy then informed him he must, to com
plete the charm, secrete the package once
more, for period Of ten days, and that he
must not, In the meantime, look ct or near
It. This was assented to, and the package
was once more carefully sealed up and COM
mitted to her care. When the ten days had
expired, he proceeded to the place of depos.l
it. found the package as he had placed 1t, but
upon opening 1t was amazed to discover that
1t contained nothing but !, the scraps of old

KENTUCKY Observation-Disclosures has
gone Democratic by about 10000 majority
The following from the Chicago Tribune
shows the progress in Kentucky. In
1860 the vote of Kentucky stood Lincoln,
1864 Democratic, 1852. In 1864 the
vote stood, Republican, 81, 766; Democratic,
64,32t. In 1868 the vote stood, Grant, SO, :
500; Seymour, 1889, a majority of 76,-
1913. In 1870 the vote on candidates for
Congress, the colored vote being polled
for the first time, stood, Republican, ST..
261 Democratic, 88,945. And now
comes the election of 1871, and the
Democratic candidate for Governor has
but 10000 majority on full vote of the
State. The total vote of each party has
not yet been ascertained but the returns
show that the large annual gain of the
Republicans is kept up. It is not too
much to expect that in comparatively
short time Kentucky will throw off the
Bourbonic rulers, and become as strong
Republican State as Ohio or Illinois.
The growth Of the Republican vote is
more than equal to the increase of the
State as the old generations pass away
the new, progressive, and liberal popula.
ton, which is all Republican, are taking
their places. Ten years ago Kentucky
laughed in scorn at the "Black Repub-
licans," and in 1871 it required all the
energies of the Democratic party with all
their old prejudices and hates, to prevent
that same Republican party electing the
Governor, and obtaining control of the
Legislature. All honor to the brave and
persevering Republicans of Kentucky. A.
few more years and their devotion will
be crowned with victory, and the State
will be redeemed. Us. 5.

DEATH OF PHEBE CARY.

Phebe Cary died at Newport r. I. on
Monday July 81, after distressing
illness of eight or ten weeks. Of the
various notices of her sickness and death
which we have seen we select the fol-
lowing:
There was something very touching
and beautiful in the way Phebe Cary
tried to realize her own and sister Alice's
convictions concerning death as the mere
departure to another and higher state Of
existence, which should be cause of
| Joy rather than sorrow On her return
with her friends from her sisters funeral
she threw open the windows of the re-
cessed room which had been the scere Of
her sutferings, of her years of endurance,
of her patient, faithful work, and filled it
with flowers switch Alice so loved" The
evening was then spent in reading her
sisters poems, and when the time for
separation came she declined all offers of
companionship and preferred to sleep as
she had always done-alone, with the
doors open between hers and her sisters
room.
She wore no mourning, that being
opposed to their principles, but every
morning she walked first to Alice's bed
side, that having been her custom for
thirty years. Who can tell how the
broken heart poured itself out in the
solitude of that lonely room; for that
she died of broken heart there can be
no doubt.
Her craVsng for the presence of her
friends was the most remarkable feature
of her illness. "Come and see me often, y
she said to one Of them II do so want to
see my friends. All the love that [ felt
for Alice seems to be poured out upon
them" Another time she said "Some-
times think shall never get up again.
I have no disease, there is nothing the
matter with me, but have not the en-
ergy to live. [ cannot eat-nothing
tastes good to me- [ had the strangest
fancy to-day thought l should like a
certain dish, but when it was Drought to
me | could not even look at it," She had
certain droll humor which was irresist-
Idle, and expended it mainly on the doc
tor, who was quite nOnplussed by her
case, and knew not what to do for her.
After time she reused herself suffl-
GENTLY to undertake journey to Com.
bridge Mass, where it was hoped the
kindness and care of her friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Houghton, would rally her
strength and restore her to health 1t
was supposed that her complete prostra-
ton was the result OF her natural attend
ance upon her sister, and of the state of
exaltation into which she was psychcl
ogized by the sympathy of friends and
the homage which her sister received
from so many quarters; but it was more
than that-her heart was buried in her
sisters grave, and she "could not" live
without her.
