EDUCATING GIRLs.-Educating girls for
household duties ought to be considered as nee
essary as instruction in reading writing, and
arithmetic, and quite as universal. We are In
our houses more than half of our existence,
and it is the household surroundings which af-
feet most largely the happiness or misery Of
domestic life If the wife knows how to "keep
house" if she understands how to "set table"
if she has learned how things ought to be
cooked how beds should be made, how carpets
should be swept, how furniture should be dus-
ted. how the clothes should be repaired, and
turned, and altered, and renovated; If she
knows how purchases can be made to the best
advantage, and understands the laying in of
provisions, how to make them 60 farthest and
last longest; if she appreciates the Importance
of system, order, tidiness, and the quiet man.
agement of children and servants, then she
knows how to make a little heaven of home
how to win her children from the street; how
to keep her husband from the clubhouse, the
gaming.table and the wine-cup. Such family
will be trained to social responsibility, to busi-
ness success, and to efficiency and usefulness in
whatever position may be allotted to them.
It may be safe to say that not one girl in ten
in our large towns and cities enters into mar
ried life who has learned to bake q loaf OF
bread, to purchase roast, to dust painting
to % sweep a carpet, or to cut and fit and make
her own dress. How much the perfect knowl-
edge of these things bears upon the thrift, the
comfort and health of families, may be conjec,,
tured, but not calculated by figures. 1t would
be an immeasurable advantage to make a be-
ginning by attaching kitchen to every girls
School in the nation, and have lessons given
daily in the prepartion of all the ordinary ar-
ticles of food and drink for the table and how
to purchase them in the market to the best ad-
vantage, with the result of large saving, OF
money, an Increase OF comfort, ana mgher ,e
health in every family in the land.-Ha|s

No man dies suddenly. Death surprises

No man dies suddenly. Death surprises
no man, but gives all men sufficient warning
and notice. Do ye complain of sudden death,
that have carried sudden death about We ever
since We were born ? that have been entertained
with daily spectacles and funerals? that have
heard so many sermons upon the subject, and
read so many good books on the frailty of life
and tho certainty of death? Do you not know
that every moment that We live brings ye near.
er to your end? Your clothes wear out; your
goods and your houses decay; and yet ye look
that your bodies should be immortal
There is an embryo Snowman out in Vir-
ginia City, Nevada, who has already made his
mark in the world He is an interesting boy
of nine summers, who painted his little brother
in the latest style of the fierce Sioux, and ex.
hibited him as captured son of "Spotted Tail"
at 25 cents ticket. The exhibition was
great success, and the juvenile Barnum was
drawing in the quarters at a rapid rate, when
his mother came to see the show and recognized
her offspring through the red ochre and lamp
black, whereupon, circumstances over which;
the young manager had no control, put an emo Z
to his great enterprise for the entertainment OF
his fellow citizens.

A MOUNT VERNON SwINDLE.-The WASH
ington Chronicle, of Monday, publishes an ar M
ticle from Mrs. Emily Edison Briggs, ("Olivia,'"
which should command the attention of all,
but more especially the attention of Congress:
She shows that not even the sacred precincts OF
Mount Vernon have been secured against the
entrance of the public despoler. She makes
the cravest charges against Miss PAMELA Cum
ninghan, Regent for life over the estate under
the charter authorizing the "AIount Vernon
Ladies Association of the Union" to purchase
two hundred acres of that estate, including the
mansion and tomb of Washington. She
charges that Miss Cunningham has usurped all
mower heretofore centercd in the Association,
and states that Mount Vernon has become TO
all intents and purposes Miss Cuunlnghams
private property for life; and after this, gives
the facts upon which these startling charges
are based She directly alhrms that certain
money given this Mount Vernon Association
might as we'll have dropped into the depths OF
the sea. Miss Cunningham is represented a! as
living in extravagant style, with great retl;
nue. Of servants, &c, her expenses. paid to and
from South Carolina as well as for her fash fash
ionable soiourn at Cape May; and the writer ea
pertinently asks why the large sum of S2O0, ,0oo
IS being raised for Mount Vernon, when the
estate is self-supporting, the steamer Arrow
alone paying into the treasury $500 monthly.
