and ambition of every woman, aud no house.
hold knowledge should be deemed uuueces-
sary, or ought to come amiss to any one who
is to be at the head Of house. Surely she
will not be any the less lady because she
understands thoroughly how her house should
be mansged md cleaned, and kept tidy, be-
cause she can teach ber domestics their duty
if they are ignorant, aud because she can
supervise aud see that the regular routine
which must be followed out 10 every WE'LL
ordered household is never neglected 1t is
too much the fashion nowadays to look down
upon such knowledge aud such duties, and
hence arises much of that discomfort and
disorder which makes so many unhappy
homes. The great leading principles govern.
ing every woman who is anxious 10 do her
duty by her husband and her household are
order, cleanliness, punctuality and economy.


She cannot expect that her servants, even
though they should be as perfect as they
are too often the contrary, will have that
walchful and provident care and considera-
ton for her property that none but wife
aud the head Of the house can have. Be-
sides, we none of US know what day may
bring forth. We are all subject to the vicisi.
ludes OF this life, aud we should always be
prepared for any emergencies tnat may befall
US. This is, however, occ of the great social
evils OF the present age, that women arc
very rarely brought up with any reference
to the duties that may be expected fom
them in their after lives. There is another
subject connected with this which also merits
consideration from all women. Too often,
after marriage, aud under the plea Of the
magnitude of their household cares and du>
ties, they neglect the accomplishments, the
tasteful dress and adornments which In the
days of their courtship SO captivated their
husbands, and become slatternly and slovenly
10 their appearance. Women little dream
how much they risk by this. They not only
risk their own happiness-fOr it depends on
hlm-but they pay him a very poor cOmpli
ment indeed, aud tend to make him doubt
VIII, ther the love of wife be dearer than
that of lover, and also make his home an
uncomfortable, unhappy one.


Surely, if he were worth all the winning
ways auu dCCOupllouu4SheS auu auOiHmChN'
which women are so fond Of displaying to
win their husbands, it is fully, if not more,
worth their while to do all in their power 10
retain aud concentrate his love for them and
for their home A woman who is true to
herself will be the better angel of her hus
band, and in no way can she more efectually
be this, more surely calm and soOthe his
mind, barrassed and saddened by all the
cares of mans struggle with the world,
than by the sympathy aud devotion of her
true heart, her cheerful. rational spirit, and
by her regular, uninterrupted and noiseless
performance OF all her household duties.
"A cure for every mortal bane


The polished link in beauty's chain
A paragon that hath a charm

Her voice to him is like the dove,


For him she weaves the web Of love


For him her prayer to Heaven ascends,


His manners and bis shirts she mends."

SPAN.-Mdnifesto by the Duke of Montpensier.
The Spanish papers publish manifesto from the
duke of Montpensier, dated Lisbon, Dec. 10. The
duke explains the purpose of his recent journey
to Spain. which he justifes on the plea that he
was anxious as a citizen to exercise his right to
Offer as in duty bound, his services to his country
as soldier in order to aid in its defense against
an outbreak which he believed had been instiru-
ted by revolutionary party. He simply intended
to serve as a combatant, and gave no preliminary
official notice Of his step, 1t was his intention
to throw of his incognito as soon as he should
have reached the scene of contest.


Upon his arrival at Cordova he discovered that
tonaTy character, and he returned to Portugal.
The letter declares untrue certain accusations
which had been raised against him, and proceeds
to recall the fact that he wished to have taken
part in the war against Morocco, as could be
proved from ,ficial documents Furtner, that he
and bis escort, the Infsnta, had INCREASINGLY en-
deavored to induce the late Q1een Isabella, in
1859 and in 1866, TO follow liberal policy, efforts
which unfortunately had been unavailiDg. He
respects the principle of universal suffrage, as the
source of the legitimate claim of nation to share
the political administration of a free country.


The duke Gays that, notwithstanding the fact
that he himself is devoted Catholic, he wishes
that every one in Spain should worship God ac-
cordiDg to the promptngs of his conscience, with
as much liberty as is enjoyed by Spanish residents
in London, Ednburg or Geneva. The letter con.
cludes with the assurance that the writer s not in
luenced by ambition-that In fact he covets moth
ing save once more to belong to Spain-the new
Spain of liberty.
