Home Affection.

Where a family Of children are taught
from childhood TO manhood and woman
! hood, to be kind and loving, one to an
other, and see the daily exhibition of like
kindness and love between the parents and
from the parents to them, there we see
strong manhood and noble Womanhood.
Affection does not beget weakness, nor is
1T eifeminate for a brother to be tenderly
attached to his sisters. That boy will make
the modest, the bIavest man. On the
battle field in many ter rible battles during
our late horrible war, have always no.
ticed those boys who had been reared I'M
der the tenderest home culture, always en-
dured the hardships of camp, the march,
or en- the bloody field most silently, and
were most dutiful at every call. More,
far more, they resisted the frightful temp
tatlols that. SO often surrounded them,
and seldom returned to their loved ones
stained with the sins incident to war;
polite to those whom they met in the
enemy's country. Under their protection
woman was always safe. How often
have heard one regiment compared with
another, when the cause of the difference
was not ,comprehended 10y those who drew
the comparison.--I knew that the cause
was the home education.
We see the same every day in the busy
life in this city. Call together one hun
dred young men in our city and spend an
evening with them, and we will tell you
their home education. Watch them as
they approach young ladies, and converse
with them, and we will show you who
have been trained under the influence Of
home affection and politeness, and those
who have not.
That young man who was accustomed
to kiss his sweet, innocent, loving sister
night and morning as they met, shows its
influence upon him, and he never forgets
it, and when he shall take some one to his
heart as his wife shall reap the golden fruit
thereof. The young man who is in the
habit of giving his arm to his sister as
they walked to and from church, will
never leave his wife to find her way as best
she can. The young man who has been
taught to see that his sister had a seat be-
fore he sought his, will never mortify
neglected wife in the presence of strang-
ers. And that young man who always
handed chair to his sister at the table,
will never have cause to blush if he sees
some gentleman extend to his wife the
courtesy she knows is due from him.

DUTY of a Woman to be a Lady.

Wildness is thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is thing which cannot
be lost and found. No art can restore to
the grape it's bloom. Familiarity without
love, without confidence, without regard,
is destructive to all that makes woman
exalting and enrolling.
''The world is wide, these things are small,
They may be nothing, but they are ALL
Nothing? 1t is the first duty of a wo-
man to be a lady. Good BREEDING is good
sense. Bad manners in woman is NOR
tality.-AWkwardness may be incredicable.
Bashfulness is constitutional. Ignorance
of etiquette is the result OF circumstances.
All can be condoned, and do not Danish
man OF woman from the amenities of their
kind.-But self-possessed, unshrinking and
aggressive coarseness of demeanor may be
reckoned as State prison offence, and en-
tirely merits that mild form of punishment
called imprisonment for life 1t is shame
for women to be lectured on their manners
1t is bitter shame that they need. Wo-
men are the umpires of society. 1t is they
to whom all mooted points should be re-
ferred. To be a lady is more than to be a
prince. A lady is always in her right in
alienably worthy of respect. To lady,
prince and peasant alike bow. Do not be
restrained. Do not have impulses that
need restraint. Do not wish to dance with
the prince unsought: feel differently. Be
sure that you confer honor. Garry your
self so lofty than men shall look I'M to
you for reward-not at you in rehuke. The
natural sentiment of man toward woman
is reverence He loses a large means of
grace when he is obliged to account her a
being to be trained into propriety. A mans
ideal is not wounded when man fails in
worldly wisdom; but if III grace, in TACT in
sen timent, in delicacy, in kindness, she
should be found wanting, he receives an
inward hurt.-GdI Hamilton.

Private BuriaIs.

Some months ago we called attention tc
some of the absurities and incongrui ties Of
! modern funeral customs.
| Mere acql. a1ntances. whose only desire
| is to pay suitable respect to the memory OF
the dead, are formally invited to be specta
tors of that grief with which a stranger
may not intermeddle. The most solemn
and awful of earthly scenes is made the oc-
casion for idle pomp and display. 1t is
natural that we should wish to honor the
memory Of the dead. Bnt surely this can
be done without invading the sanctity of
the love of wife and husband, and children
and parents. The expensiveness of mod
ern funerals, which is such an oppressi. e
burden to the widow and orphan, consists
chiefly in conveying those who have no
right to be present, to the spot where the
relatives should surely be alone with their
dead, as they commit them to their last
resting place. A subscriber of the 'Pres-
byterian Journal'' has seen funeral in &C
cerdance with the views presented by US,
J which he describes as follows:

terment privateaa at P. NJ, the same day.
The friends Of the family assembled at
II O'Clock promptly. No hearse at the
door, CT long array of carriages, no body
ushers, no long scarfed pail bearers.
The friends took last look at the sweet
young face. then seated themselves fr the
services, which were conducted by the
pastor in the usual manner.
After the benedlction, the friends dis
persed, and the immediate family were
left in perfect privacy to take the farewell
kiss and close the coffin lid ON the precious
dead.
At P. M. a hearse and two carriages
came to the house and conveyed to the
cemetery the coffin, the family, and the
pastor.
Ali the painful Accomplishments of our
modern funerals were avoided in this ar
rangement.
There was another noticeable feature in
this modern funeral. The casket was not
made into a flower bed. A few fragant
buds and leaves were placed in the closed
hands and at the Christian Obser-
ger,

GIRLS, LOOK AHEAD The pastor of a
church in one Of our large cities, said to
me not long ago: II have officiated at
forty weddings since I came here, and in
every case, save one, l felt that the bride
was running an awful risk. Young men
OF bad habits and fast tendencies never
marry girls OF their own sort, but demand
wife above suspicion. So, pure, sweet
women. kept from the touch of evil through
the years OF their girlhood, give themselves
with all their costly dover of womanhood
into the keeping of men who, in base asso-
Citations, have learned to under-value all
that belongs to them, and then find no re-
pentance in the sad after years. There is
but one way out Of this that can see and
that is for you-the young women of the
country-to require in associations and
marriage purity for purity, and honor for
honor. There is no reason whv the vouuo
men OF this Christian land should not he
just as virtuous as it's women, and if the
loss of society and love be the price thew
are forced to pay for vice, they will not
pay it. | admit with sadnnss that not all
our young women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others, but |
believe there are enough earnest, thought
full girls in the society of our country to
work wonders if faithfully aroused. Dear
girls, will you help us, in the name of
Christ? Will you, first Of all, be true to
yourselves and God; SO pure in your inner
and outer life that you will have right to
ask that the young man whom you wish
to marry shall be the same ? The awful
gulf OF dishonor is close beneath your feet
and IN it, fathers, brothers, lovers, and
sons are going down. Will you help US in
our great work 2"

CHICKENS. frying chickens try to
have the lard very hot, sprinkle the pieces
we'll with flour, put them in and cover
tightly for awhile, cook as fast as possible
without burning. After little while take

meat is more tender and much more juicy
than when allowed long time over a slow

If A CALICO DRESS is washed carelessly,
starched stiff, summed day or two and
half ironed, it is not a very comely sight.
But if quickly dried in the shade. very
thinly and evenly starched, and ironed on
the wrong side so that it will not shine, it
will look like a new dress for long time.
Many blue prints and cambrics fade when
washed in the usual way. If they are
washed the first time in strong salt water,
or water to which a little beef's gall is ad-
ded, tho colors will be set so that thew will
always be as handsome as at first.

Sailing MEAT.-When dry salt is rub
bed into fresh meats a brine soon forms,
amounting in bulk to one-third the fluid
contained in the raw flesh. Liebig ascer-
tanned that this fluid contained the chief
constitu ents of concentrated soup CT in
fusion of meat, and that therefore the sal.-
ing process changes the composition more
than boiling. In boiling, where the meat
is placed in boiling water, the alb,,.1en re-
mains in coagulated state in the mass of
the flesh, but In sailing the albumen is
separated as coagulum. It is now easy TO
understand that in sailing meat, where this
is pushed so fast as to produce the brine
above mentioned, a number n distances
are withdrawn from the tlesl " 4ich are es
sential to it's constitution, and that it
therefore loses in nutritive qualities in
proportion to this abstractio
The greater error of over-salting is one
of such often occurr renee in this country,
that it is seldom that home cured meat is
free from this evil. In many instances,
one-half or tWo-thirds of the salt used
would be amply sufficient to preserve the
meat, and that is the design of sailing in
bulk. Over-salted meat is not only very
unhealthy, but not half so nutritious as
when properly salted.-American Farner.

and without any expense, rooms may be
thus rendered wonderfully cheerful for the
long Winter months.
The little schoolma ANS plan is to take
sheet of thin cotton batting, and lay the
flowers on it. covering them with another
sheet and then putting the whole under
slight pressure. Sometimes, when the
flowers are thick, and contain dood deal
OF moisture, she puts them in fresh cotton
the next day, and after that does not DIS
turb them. But in pressing nearly all the
small flowers, the cotton need not be chang
ed at all. and not even opened until TIE
flowers are preserved. noticed that the
little schoolma'am's pressed flowers had
soft, bright look.
She groups the long -stemmed ones pretti-
ly in vases, Oh lays them between sheets of
thin glass, and hangs them in her windows

little schoolma am presses green leaves and
ribbon-grass in the same way, keeping their
color perfectly and she told the children
that when they wanted to pile number of
these double cotton layers together, it was
better to lay a sheet of blotting paper in
between the sets. Sometimes she lays It's
