Future Eleusckeepers.

We sometimes catch ourselves wonder
ing how many of the young ladies whom
We meet with are to perform the part
housekeepers, when the young men who
now eye them so admiringly have per-
suadcd them to become wives. We listen
to those young ladies whom We speak and
hear them not only acknowledging, but
boasting. of their ignorance of all house
hold duties, as if nothing would so lower
them in the estimation of their friends,
as the confession of an ability to bake bread
and pies, OF cook piece of meat, or a
disposition to engage in any useful en-
ployment. Speaking from our own
youthful recollections, we are free to say
that taper fingers and lily hands are very
pretty to look at with young mans
eyes, and sometimes we have known the
artless innocence of practical knowledge
displayed by young miss te appear
rather interesting than otherwise. But
we have lived long enough to learn that
life is full of rugged experiences, and
that the most loving, romantic, and del
icate people must live on cooked or other
wise food, and the house be kept clean
and tidy by industrious hands. And for
all the practical purposes of married life,
it is generally found that for husband
to sit and gaze at his wife's taper fingers
and lily hands, or for wife to sit and be
looked at and admired, does not make the
pot boil, or put the smallest piece of food
therein. 80 sAal .

Rev. ID. Adams, in his beautiful book
of Thanksgiving Memories" give us the
following incident: I'm the Cathedral
of Limerick there hangs chime of bells.
which were cast in Italy by an enthusiast
in his trade. who fixed his home near the
monastery when they were. first hung. that
he might daily enjoy their sweet and sol
emn music In some political revolution
the bells were taken away to some distant
land, and their maker himself became a
refugee and exile. His wanderings brought
him, after many years, to Ireland On
calm and beautiful evening, as the vessel
which bore him, foated on the placid 5o-
som of the Shannon, suddenly the evening
chimes pealed forth from the cathedral
towers. His experienced car caught the
sweet sounds, and he knew that his lost
treasures were found. His early home. his
old friends, his beloved and native land ,all
the best associations of life were in those
sounds He laid himself back in the boat,
crossed his arms upon his breast, and lis
tened to the music. The boat reached the
wharf, but still he lay there. silent and
motionless. They spoke to him, but ne
did not answer.
They went to him, but his spirit had
fed. The tide Of memories that came VI
brating through his heart at that well
known chime, had snapped its life strings
1t was this incident that suggested to
Moore his song of The Evening Bells"
As Moore is not as much read as he used
to be quarter of a century ago, we re-
print the lines, as they may not be famil-
lar to some of our younger readers:
Those evening bells. Those evening
bells!
How many a tale their music tells,
OF youth, of home, aud that sweet time
When last l heard their soothing chime.
Those Joyous days have passed away.
And many a heart that then was gay, .
Within the tomb now darkly dwells.
And hears no more those evening bells.
And thus t shall be when am gone,
That tuneful peals shall still ring on.
And other bards shall walk these dells.
And singiyour praise, sweet evening bells.

Why is anything made public. but ir

others? Why is it announced that Isaac
aud Rebecca were married on a certain
days last week, but on the supposition
that it will give you pleasure TO know it !!
Read in this light, the commonest adver-
tisements which crowd our papers have a
kindly order about them. Say not with
a cynic sneer-as though you were doubt
full whether there was anything honest in
the world-when storekeeper advertises
his wares, that it is all sheer sel6shness ::
for if it is pleasant for one to announce n
fresh supply of tallow and wool. hard
ware. or muslins. is it not just as pleasant
for one who wishes to know it? Business

know not what you say. Those ships
which are to sail for every harbor in the

Our Weekly Newspapers.

All that used to be said and sung of a
cosy hastelrie, with jovial companions, and
the flowing grape or foaming John Barley
corn. must now be transferred to the
weekly newspaper. This is the Worlds
Grand Hotel Into it every week flock
guests from every nation under heaven.
1t is full of art, wisdom. story, poetry.
romance, incident anecdote, such as never
came together in any old tavern, even
when Burns and his fellows were met; or
when Burk. johnson, Steele and Addison
exchanged intellectual wares.
To know the genuine relish of good
newspaper, one must not read the daIlies.
nor live amidst much company in cities.
1t is in thescountry and apart from much
social intercourse that ones appetite
grows sharp. The paper is seized with
avidity from the office, is borne home as
a treasure. is there carefully read, as one
would read the terms of bequest or will
that left him a treasure Every man has
some favorite part Of fowl or flesh, and
so every habitual reader turns at once to
some favorite part of his newspaper for
the frs. tastes; then to the next best.
and gradually every paragraph passes
under review; and at last the very adver-
tisements are conned. Then. on the eve
of a new newspaper, the benevolent SUBJ
scriher lends his paper to poor neighbor.
and it begins another round of pleasure.

WhO'S Ahead.

A gentleman asks the girls the follow
ing pointed question "Could you love a
man who wore false hair on his head, and
when he had enough of his own? Who
painted his face and improved his form as
you improve(O yours? Who pinched
his feet with small shoes. his hands with
small gloves, not already deformed him
self enough, tied huge hustle around
his body, and thrust tiny mountains of
wire into his bosom?' In reply to which
lady responded: Gould you love a
girl who defled her mouth with tobacco
and loaded the air with fumes Of segars?
Who staggered home several times a
week worse for liquor? Who indulged
in fast horses, bet high at taces; and
staggered around the streets with ques-
tionable companions? Which picture
wears the most alluring colors?" We
also see reported that Mrs. Van Coot,
says if she had all the money ever paid
for liquor, she could buy every foot of
land in the world. Very likely. And
if she had the money paid by woman for
back hair she could buy every drop Of
liquor in the world.

Startling Discovery.

During the sitting of the court in Con
nec;icut. not long ago, on very cold
evening a large crowd of lawyers had col
lected around the fire that blazed cheerful

no one moved to give him room to warm
his Sims, so he leaned back against the
wall in the back part of the room. Pres.

dressed him, when the following dialogue
took place:

large, the task of looking through all IL {

very soon sort and rank themselves. Those
which are fresh, spicy, full of matter,
come to our hand almost of themselves,
while those that are made up from other
papers, and those that habitually harp
upon themes of narrow and local interest,
are glanced at and passed over. Just as
boys know where the trees are that bear
large nuts, and where are the early apples.
and where the trees are that never bear,
or bear worthless 3ruit, so an editor comes
to know all his exchanges. OF one
hundred he will sort out ten or twenty

papers, but not for him. Every office has
its own selection.
The glory of an exchange list is that it
shall not be made up of papers in sub
stantial agreement with you, or with each
other. One should hear all sides. He
that is afraid cf honest discussion does not
half believe in his own doctrines. Truth
does not suffer from honest questioning
The deadliest enemies of truth are self
conceit, bigotry. anger, party-spirit, pride,
obstinacy and fierce combativeness.

Der of married ladies present who brought

in a short time every baby sported him or
herself in foreign habiiments. The
mothers, after an hour or SOS devotion to
Terpsichorean delights. took each their
baby vestments and the dear little forms
therein contained, and retired to their re-
spective and once happy homes. On pre-
pairing the little ones for the crib, sexes
had changed-girls were boys, and boys
girls-and with one universal yell, the
coutraged maternal set out on a baby hunt
at last aconnt, most all had, by ''them

A Romantic Marriage.

A romantic marriage was celebrated at

ployment he wrote to his betrothed bride

the qualification is innate. or it is never

a good editor seldom writes much for his
paper; be reads. judges. selects. dictates,
alters and combines, and to do all this
