Good Advice to Mothers.

What do we do with our daughters +?
Send them to school? Yes, and they learn
Latin and French, mathematics and history
all useful and valuable to give mental
breadth and depth and strength.
What do they do when they come home Z?
Study their lessons? Yes, and in the ip-
tervals, worsted work, crochet---a novel.
perhaps--something always that keeps
their hands close to their breasts, and their
sight and energy concentrated in narrow
point--a game of authors, conversation,
cards, or pretty little drawing under the
evening lamp, always the cramped position,
the narrow, concentrated field.
Throw away the CROCHET and the crewel
work-scatter the cards! Shorten the
study hours at home. You are thu buyer
in school matters; insist on your choice !;
fewer studies-more room to breathe, in
between the 'ologies. Drop an exercise
here, theorem there. Insist that in five
or six mortal hours the lessons all be
done.
Then, in the out Of school time, let your
daughters take part in the steady business
OF home. There is time enough in the early
morning to make bed, and set room in
order, if the girl be not copjugating Latin
vero I'LL the breakfast bell rings. There is
Tune 10 take in the arrangement of the
table or IN the kitchen even. d breakfast is
not an elaborate meal, and there never
was Child yet that did not "admire y to
grind the coffee mill. When tea time comes
dainty tea table ia pretty thing. Let
not your daughters come to it as though in
motel, urobseryant, uninterested.

PREPARE FOR POTATES.-T writer

Immediately at least twelve inches deep,

wide, straight burrows three feet apart.
Snow take manure, coarse litter from the
stables, and straw from the yard, and fill
these burrows, and also cover the interview
ing space between them let this remain
so through the winter. In the very
early spring it will be found that the frost,
if it penetrated these burrows, has long
since disappeared. With fork lay the
manure that has occupied the furrow
through the winter upon the opposite side
of the furrow from that where the soil was
thrown up in making the furrow. Now put
in your cut potatoes, or whole ones, as your
fancy may dictate, covering them an inch
or two with the soil from the ridge. Over
all carefully replace the litter, straw and
manure. These potatoes will never need q

The colored men of this city have emf
barked in an enterprise which deserves the
moral, if not the pecuniary aid, of every
good citizen.
They have incorporated themselves for
the purpose of publishing a newspaper, de-
voted to the development and education of
their own race. 1t is to be entirely devoid
of political bias.
We have been approached to aid in this
worthy object, and believing as we do,
that the correct method of dealing with
this question is to educate that race, and to
instruct that people more fully in the dis
charge of their duties and responsibilities
as citizens, we have consented to be the
publishers of their organ, the Planet.
Their first number appeared on Saturday,
November %, and we make some extracts
to show the nature of their undertaking
and the style of their editorials.
As means of education their paper can
be made great instrument. It can 20
into their households, from here to the
Gulf, and the children, better educated,
can read its truths and its news to those
parents, who have not had tho advantages,
which free schools new afford. 1t can be
made source of communication for all
the black race, until the success of the en-
terprise encourages others to embark there
in in other localities.
So long as our advice can have weight,
this newspaper would be entirely indie
pendent and devoted TO that one great OBJ
ject, the social and moral and Intellectual
development of the colored race. And the
tens of thousands Of black, as we'll as
white people, who can appreciate the value
to the entire country of such an object,
will philanthropically contribute their mite
both in subscriptions and in advertisements
to bring it to complete success. -Tsue
