Our friend Colonel 7. +. c. Brinley

A Commemorate ion Of "GIrI.' work"-A
Mothers Forsthought- For the Boys.
lSc entlnc AmericanI
The governor OF Massachusetts,, in an
address before the Worcester technical
school, said some words that are worthy
of noting. He said: II thank my
mother that she taught me both to sew
and to knit. Although my domestic
life has always been felicitous, / have.
at times, found this knowledge very
convenient. A mar who knows how to
do these things, at all times honorable
and sometimes absolutely necessary to
preserve ore s integrity, is ten times
o patient when calamity befalls than
one who has not these accomplish
ments.
a communication OF girls worr'
from such an authority emboldens the
writer to add a word in favor of teach
ing boys how to do work that may be a
relief to a nervous, sick, worried and
oyerworked mother or wife, and be of
important and instant use in emergen
cies. A hungry man who can not pre-
pare his food, a dirty man who can not
clean his clothes, u dilapidated man
who is compelled to use a single nail
for n sewed-on button, is a helpless and
pitiable Oh ect. There are occasions in
almost every mans life when TO know
how TO cook. TO sew, to keep the
house, y to wash, starch and iron, would
10 valuable knowledge. Sueh knowl-
edge is no more unmasculine and ellen
mate than that OF the professional
baker.
During the great civil war, the fore
thought of my mother in teaching me
tho mysteries of household work was n
sweet boon, AS the late Artemns Ward
would say. The scant products Of for
aging when on the march could DO
turned to appetizing food by means of
the knowledge acquired in boyhood, and
a handy use Of needle and thread was a
valuable accomplishment
Circumstances of peculiar privation
compelled the writer, as head Of n help
less family. TO undertake the entire work.
The instruction of boyhood enabled him
to cook, wash, starch, iron. wait on
tho sick, and do the necessary mental
labor of the house in n measure.
bly, clearly and quiet manner This
knowledge is in no way d%erogatory to
the assumptive superiority Of the male
portion of humanity; n boy who knows
how to sweep, 70 tidy up, - to make a
bed, to wash dishes, to set a table. to
cook, TO sow, to knit, to mend, to wait
on the sick, to do chamber work, is none
the less a boy; and he may be a more
considerable husband, and will certainly
he n more independent bachelor, than
witlput this practical knowledge. Let
the boys be taught homework; it is
better than playing seven up" in =

"You would hardly believe it, says a

because any considerable number Of our

It is certainly astonishing how very
few national feasts we have on the

sometimes a good send-of in New Eng
land, sometimes not-seldom anywhere
else and in truth we lie back and re-
serve all our strength for the Fourth Of
