Young HOusekeepers.

No young lady should be willing
to assume wife's responsibilities
or obligations until she is fully ca.
pable of taking charge of a house.
Some sensible person has said
that household occupations are in
themselves an intellectual and NOR
al exercise of no mean Importance,
after which any lady has enough
surplus time for books and the
arts.
We fully endorse the sentiment,
and bless the improvement in our
female colleges, many of which
boast a wholesome department OF
domestic economy.
In the marriage outfit of the
eldest daughter, how many a moth
er has been forced to the sacrifice
of her own personal ease and com
fort in giving up her old exper-
fenced cook to relieve the young
mirtress of a burden of embarrass-
ment and trouble that would 9th
erwise fall upon her unframed
shoulders, But even with this adj
mirable auxiliary (now almost OBJ
solete since the extinction of slav-
ery) there will be oppressive minor
cares, duties and anxieties requir-
ing sacrifice of time and ease
that the mistress may not be will
ing at all times to yield unmur-
muringly.
Be she ever SO happily endow-
ed with that enviable faculty oil
taking things lightly and patient
ly, ever estimating little mishaps
at their full cost and no more, she
will still find her position one OF
trial and embarrassment. There
must be a regular and general
method on everything, if thrift
order and neatness prevail. It is
vain to enjoy early rising and econ
omy in pantry and cuisine, if the

A Case i'll Point.

Young Johnnie was inclined to
be a good boy and his mother
spent much time in instructing
him in the enormity of the sin of
telling falsehoods, ard, to impress
it upon him, wound up by telling
him that people who told lies chok-
ed to death. When the Rev. Mr..
and Mrs. Muckle were taking din
ner at the Jarpley's, on "return
CALI the next day, Mrs. Jarpley
asked her guest, $50 Mrs. Muckle,
you like my cooking?"
cit is splendid, Mrs. Jarpley,
just splendid" enthusiastically re-
sponded Rev. Muckle's lady.
"Mr. Jarpley is fortunate in the
possession of such an excellent
cook as yourself
Just as the lady concluded she
took sip of water, and a few drops
going the wrong way" caused her
to cough.
"There she goes! There she
goes, mother!' exclaimed young
Jarpley in great excitement. 81
heard her say, when you were
out of the room, to Mr.. Muckle,
that she wished it was all over, AS
one of your dinners were enough
to kill a mule, and she wondered
how your husband had ever lived
so longH''

The Camp Meeting Closed.

Under the auspices Of Mt. Zion
Church, the Rev. r. S. Smith held
a successful camp-meeting on the
\C. V. r. R., about five miles north
Of town. 1t was well-attended
with the best of order. So much
for good man to look after af
fairs. We are informed that
while it was a religious success, it
was also financial one-the mon
ey, of course, being for church
purposes.

Woman is the altar of love.
My Fathers Bible.
BY REV. SIDNEY DYER.

BY REV. SIDNEY DYER.
Flow on, sweet tears. l needs must
weep,
For memory calls from fountains deep,
That treasured store of holy tears
The heart has garnered up for years;
Now | behold
My fathers Bible; his of yore,
Than mines of gold
He priced it more!
When grief oppressed, and crushing
When death had nipped our loved and
fair:
And dark misfortune's heavy hand
Was laid upon our little band
In painful loss,
He then read what Jesus bore
Upon the cross
We Wept no more.
When pleasure spread her flowery
maze,
To lure our feet from virtues ways;
And sin, with fell, insidious art,
Wove fatal spells to snare the heart,
This truthful page
Our doubtful footsteps onward bore
Through every stage,
Till doubt was DER.
When called to seek the distant west,
| craved fathers lost behest;
MIG parting pangs we scarce could
brook,
"Take this" said he, "this blest old
book,
So long, long mine,
And though l give no other store,
IT'S wealth divine,
Prize nothing more!
''Long hast thou known fathers care
Shared daily in his fervent prayer,
But now we part-go, go, my child"
lie could no more, but Wept and smiled,
AS pointing still
10 this old book, when through the
door
passed the sill,
crossed nevermOre.
Now mOonbeams sleep upon his grave,
And pensiye willows DER him wave;
No more from deaths repose to wake,
10 plead with man for jesus sake
His sins forbear;
O, as turn these pages DER,
Than jewels rare,
l prize them more!
When death would fright the timid
With coffin, shroud, the graves dark
goal,
The parting hour, the dying groan,
A world unseen, a fate unknown.
A light from thee,
Thou Book of books, doth round me
pour,
Deaths shadows flee
Life evermore!
Thou'rt dingy now, and sadly worn,
With crumpled leaves and binding
torn;
Thy value others may not see,
But thou art priceless wealth to me!
Shrined in my heart
Shall be thy memory and thy lore,
My SOUPS best chart
Forevermore!
