Rooth-The Dramatic Art.

To the Editors Of the Dispatch:
1t is something, in this work-a'dsy world,
to escape from the cares sof the hour and
reyel for brief period in that atmosphere
of genius and art that is fast passing away
the drama of an age creative, enlightened,
chivalric; not free from it's own proper vices,
vet still untranmelled by the refining cor.
ruptions Of our own intensely criticli age.
The fashion of the moment seems to be an
irnperious demand for "correctness." A
correctness 80 severe, SO absolute, that mo-
room 10 left for the alterations OF ortgt.i
na.ity, the yagaries of genius, the idiosyn-s
racies of indiVidualism, or the expediencies
of art. II it were not social sin TO treat

Committees have beel hastened by atale-
gram received by Morton from Kellogg,

What Shall We Do With Our

lecture on the above important question
said, the Davenport Democrat thus SEN
aibly makes answer:

Teach them TO wear thick warm shoes.
Teach them how to wash and iron

dresses.
Teach them how to cook good meal Of
victuals.
Teach them that dollar is only hun
dred cents.
Teach them to wear calico dresses-and
do it like queen.
Teach them to say no, and mean it; or
yes, and stick to it.
Teach them how to darn stockings and
sew on buttons.
Teach them to regard the morals not the
NE. ey Of beaux.
Give them good, substantial common
school education.
Teach them every day dry, hard COM
mon sense.
Teach them all the mysteries Of the
kitchen, dining-room and parlor.
Teach them that good round rosy
romp is worth fifty delicate consumptlves.
Teach them to have nothing to do with
intenperate and dissolute young men,.
Teach them that the more one lives
within their income, the more they will
save.
Teach them the further one lives be-
yond their income, the nearer they get to
the poor house.
Rely upon it that upon your teaching
depends in great measure the veal or
woe of their afte lives.
Teach them sccomplishments-muslc,
paintirg drawing-if you have the time
and money to do it with.
Teach them to cultivate garden, and
drive road team or farm wagon,
Teach them that God made them in
hi. own image, and that no amount of
tight lacing will improve the model.
Teach them that good steady mechan-
ic, without cent, is worth dozen oil
pated loafers,in broadclolh.
