Educating Girls.

Educating girls for household
duties ought to, be considered as
necessary as instruction in read
ing and arithmetic, and quite as
universal: We are in our houses
more than half of our existence,
and tits the household surround
ings which affect most largely
the happiness or misery of do
nestle life. If the wife knows
how to { keep house, if she
learned how to set a table, if she
has learned how things ought
to be cooked, how beds should
be. made, how carpets should be
swept, how furniture should be
busted, how clothes should be
repaired, and knows how pur-
chases can be made to the best
advantage, and understand the
laying in Of provisions, how to
make them go farthest and last
longest ; if she appreciates the
Importance of system, order,
tidiness and the quiet manage
ment of children and servants,
then she knows how to make a
little heaven at home-how to
win her children from the street,
how to keep her husband from
the club house, the gaming table
and the wine cup. Such a fam
lily will be trained to social res
probability, to business success,
and to efficiency and usefulness
in whatever position may be al
lotted them. 1t may be safe to
say that not one girl in.ten in
our large towns and cities en-
tiers into married life who has
learned to bake O loaf of bread,
to purchase a roast, to dust a
painting, to sweep a carpet or
to cut, fit, and make her own
dress. How much the perfect
knowledge of these things bears
upon the thrift, comfort and
health of families may be con-
.jectured, but not calculated by
figures. It would be an immeas-
urable advantage to make a be-
ginning by attaching a kitchen
to every girls school in the ma
ton, and have lessons given
daily in the preparation of all
the ordinary articles of food and
drink for the table, and how to
purchase them in the market to
the best advantage, with the re-
suit of a large saving OF money,
and increase of comfort and
higher health in every family II
the land.

Tired Of Being Depressed.

When people get to disputlng
whether times are hard or not,
1t seems reasonable to suppose.
that times cannot be extremely
bad. The year opens with opti-
mists and pessimists hard at It,
each side armed with arguments
of a eogent nature !; but the OPP
tinists are likely to win in the
long run, as the American peo-
pie, now fifty millions strong in
the richest country on earth,
must, sooner or later, grow tired
of being depressed. By this
time the bad symptoms are well
known, and it is natural that the
signs of healthy growth and de-
velopment should receive atten-
ton. 1t appears that in spite of
shutting down, half time, slack
trade and the like, the number
of operatives ont of work is less
than $50, 900. This cannot be
regarded as abnormal IN the
depth of winter, out of q popnla-
ton of 10000, 900, and as the per-
centage in New Englandis only z
per cent. while in Minnesota it
reaches 40 per cent?, it is evident
that manufacturers are not by
any means in their last gasp, but
holding their own with frmness.
A recent canvass of trade all over

the land shows, too, that stocks
are unusually light, and inqui-
ries for spring delivery are nu-
merous. Things do not long re-

starve because bread is so cheap,
and where they cannot clothe
themselves and possess comfort

and furniture cost SO lIttle.-In-

Benedict Arnold's Bride.

The Quaker City has not been
famed for the beauty OF, IFS wo-
man in this day onsy. The
pages of all it's sedates history
are bright with the faces of pref
ty maidens and stately matrons.
Among the beauties of the Rev
olutionary days none was more
charming than gay, ill-stared
Margaret Shipper. Her family
was at the time one of the NEST
influential in the provinces, AID
it has continued to give to PHI
adelphia a succession of sturdy,
high-minded men and women,
though her own life was cloud
ed by suspicious of disloyalty.
She married Benedict Arnold
when she was eighteen. She
met him in Philadelphia on her
return from Canada, loaded with
honors, and her girlish fancy
was captivated by his dashing
manners and the splendor of his
career. Her family opposed the
union, but she insisted on it,
and would have become his wife
in spite of all opposition, but
the barriers were at last remov-
ed. She had been married about
a year and just become a mother
when her husband committed
the t~raitorous deed that will
make his name despised through
all time. She was at West
Point with her baby. She was
at once taken into custody and
given into charge of Gen. Hamil-
tnoand Aaron Burr. to be convey
ed to Philadelphia. She was not
permitted to remain in peace,
however, even at the house of her
father. The Indignation OF the
popnlace was at fever heat, and
the traitors young bride was
ordered by the Provincial Coun-
Gil, then the governing body, to
leave the colonies. In vain her
father, afterwards Chief-Justice,
pleaded for mercy. He offered
the largest security for her con-
duct; promised that she should
receive no communication of any
kind from any one through any
but the public channels and I'M
der the closest scrutiny. It was
in vain. The council would not
modify its decree. The young
wife left for England, met her
husband there and lived with
him to a good old age. Some OF
their descendants have done dis
tinguished service in the English
army and navy and in the Eng
.lish Church. On the way to
Philadelphia the beautiful young
mother aud her custodians rest
ed at Il farmhouse near Trenton
kept by 4 Mrs. Provost. After
Mrs. Arnold had died, Aaron
Burr, himself q traitor in en-
bryo, publicly stated that Mrs.
Arnold had there declared that
her husbands sentiments were
her sentiments, and that she was
d true royalist and an opponent
of rebellion. "What he omitted
to say remarked a relative OF
Mrs. Arnold's recently in con-
vessation about this matter,
twas that lie had on that occa-
sion endeavored to betray her,
and that she bad Indignantly re-
