Some means of satisfying their
love of pleasure and excitement is
necessary to the juvenile element of
society. From this principle, in
nate in their very being, together
with that of self-improvement, all
socials and clubs take their source.
Prompted by these TWO principles,
the young ladies Of Charlestown
have organized Cooking Club"
1t meets weekly at the house of one
of it's members, and there collation.
is spread, consisting of specimens of
the culinary department, prepared
by the fair young novices. Out of
the kindness of their hearts land
may the blessings of heaven rest
upon them for it'll they invited the
young men ofthe community to come
and partake of their efforts, and TO
enjoy their charming company, which
invitation the "nobler sex" accepted
with remarkable avidity.
The first meeting of the IF. G..
c." was held at Miss Fannie Camp
bells, and as it was superintendent
by the charming hostess herself, as
sisted by her efficient "subs," Misses
Aisquith and Wyatt, of course it
was a success of successes.
The next meeting was held last
Friday night at Miss Anna WAITS,
and TO be welcomed with a smile and
a grasp of the hand by the beautiful
hostess, was glory enough for one
night. When the members" both
male and female, had assembled, the
confusion OF Babel repeated itself,
and loquacity reigned supreme. The
fore part Of the evening was spent in
conversation, cards and fortune tell
ing. (By which your humble serv-
ant and most charming young
lady were 'f0aceed," and, truly, it
is a convenient way of settling or
popping" that very embarrassing
questionD a luli was made in the
general mirth by the announcement
that the spread" was ready, and
arm in arm we filed into the dining
room. Did | call them novices
above? After partaking of those
dainty sweets, l must ask their par
don, and supply expert" in place of
''novices." Young man! attend
those clubs; cultivate those young
ladies: examine the work, and if you
are in need of better two-thirds, 2"
take one of them THAT is if you can
get her. Aye, there's the ruby The
remainder of the evening was spent
in divers amusements. The devotees
of Terpischore took possession Of
the hall and buried dull care in
the enhancing waltz Those who
were blessed with musical voices
land some who were mott gathered
around the piano and treated us
with songs. both comic and instru-
mental. When the herald of father
Time announced the birth CT a new
day, the merry party broke up. Long
life to the II. c. c."

The Marion Tract Depository of

The Marion Tract Depository of
Saratoga, n. T., is a purely benevo-
lent and Christian enterprise devot-
ed to the dissemination OF religious
literature. The mover in the enter
prise is the well known DIR Kendall.
The Tract Depository is named
Marion, after his precious Christian
daughter, who died about two years
ago. An eight page monthly Jour-
nal, printed on fine paper and of
handsome Typography, entitled The
WORD and THE WAY, was started
one year ago, and it has rapidly
grown in circulation and influence.
Over $4,000 copies are now printed
monthly. AS the subscription price
is only 25 cts, per year, and each
number contains sermon by lead
Ing clergyman, together with poetry,
contributions, children's depart
ment, a temperance column, and a
large amount of choice miscellany,
there is no sound reason why any
Christian family should hencetorth
be without a religious paper. Sam
pie copies will be sent to all names
and addresses furnished.

AS we are fast approaching an
other season, in which all classes of
trade again become brisk, we take
this opportunity to call the atten-
ton of our readers to the advertise
ments of all business houses which
appear in our columns. We especi-
ally call the attention to the adver-
tisement of Messrs. Cooke IL Wash
ington, hardware merchants ard ag-
ricultural implement dealers. This
firm carries an extensive stock of
the best grade of builders hardware,
which they sell low, and offer spe-
cial inducements to contractors.
Their axes and saws are of the best
make; whips and blankets are at
bottom figures, and their agricultu-
raj implements are only those
which have long standing replr-
tation. Give this firm call. Mr..
c. Seibert, an experienced hardware
man, is at the helm, and what he
does not understand about the bust
ness isn't worth knowing.
