No young lady can be too well instructed in
anything which will affect the comfort of a fam
lily. Whatever position in society she occupies
she needs practical knowledge of household
duties. She may be placed in such circum-
stances that II will not be necessary for her to
perform much domestic labor but on this ac-
count she needs no less knowledge than if she
were obliged to preside personally over the
cooking stove and pantry. Indeed, | have
thought that it is more difficult to direct others
and requires more experience than TO do tho
same work with our own bands.


Mothers are frequently so nice and particular
that they do not like TO give up any part of the
care 10 their children. This is great mistake
iu their management, for they are often bur-
dened with labor and need relief Children
should be early taught to make themselves use
ful to assist their parents every way in their
power, and to consider it privilege to do so.


Young people can not realize the Importance
of thorough knowledge of hou>ewifery tu.
those who have suffered the Inconvenience and
of ignorance can well appreciate it.
Children should be early INDUCED in their dis
position to bake and experiment, in various
ways. 1t is often but troublesome help that
they afford still it is great advantage to them

a loaf of bread every week during the winter
Her mother taught her how much yeast, salt and

skill in making simple cakes or pies, she is per-
mitted to do so. She is thus, while amusing
herself, learning an important lesson. | think
before she is out of her teens, upon which she
has not yet entered that she will have some
idea how to cook.


Some mothers give their daughters the care of
house keeping, each week by turns. 1t seems
to me good arrangement and most useful
part of of their education. Domestic labor is by
all means Incompatible with the highes: degree
of refinement and mental culture. Many of the
most elegant, accomplished women have know
have looked well TO their household duties and
honored themselves and their husbands by SO
doing.


Economy taste, skill in cooking and neat
ness of the kitchen, have great deal to do in
making life happy and prosperous. The charm
of good housekeeping is in order, economy and
taste displayed in attention to little things, and
these things have wonderful influence.

Press the face downward and firmer-

Just 80 deep sunken her eyes;
But their remembrance forever,


Living by craft ard by sin.

Why should it rest on her face.
Put the pine box in the shadow.

very difficult point to make for tie reason

was at the exact time when the murder was
committed. The differences between wit

committed, involve the whole question in

We have repeatedly expressed the
opinion that the building of rail-
road froTn our city to Boonville IS
impracticabIe. We are quite CONN
dent the road would not be seif-sus-
tanning were it constructed. But, as
the friends of the enterprise are en-
thusiastic and sanguine, We copy their
proceedings, in order that our readers
may know just what is being accom-
plished. The gentlemen who repre-
sented the real estate and business
interests Of our city at the last Boon
Vile meeting may have spoken intel
ligently Of the action of our people
with regard to the road, but we think
they did not. When Mr.. WHITTLE-
sEY asserted that the city of Evans
vile would contribute 5ne hundred
thousand dollars toward the enter
prise, either by corporation or by pri-
vate subscription. and more, if neces-
sary, he evidently drew on his I'M
agination strongly. We do not
believe the half of one hun
dred thousand dollars could be OBJ
tanned In this city for the construc-
ton of the road. We make this
statement, because we believe it to be
due to the people of Warrick County
TO know the facts in the case. Wc
GdUise them to make Gn effort at 0b
tanning subscriptions before incaTysn9
any erpenses .5a the s0ay of Surveying a
route for the read. They will
soon ascertain in this way what can
be accomplished. We should be
gratifed to see the subscription pa
pers started and ascertain how much
those who are SO enthusiastic for the
road will set down opposite their
names.


The people of Warriok County need
an outlet to market, but the railroad
will prove too expensive to be profit
able. We think a good turnpike
could be built for much E5s money.
and would prove even more beneficial.
We would at least be gratifed to have
a committee Of competent men ex-
anime into the whole matter and give
US the result Of their investigations.

IT IT STRANGE to see with what carelessness
some invalids attend to their health. They
will procure a box of Plantation Bitters, which
ought to be used up in month or six weeks,
and upon inquiry it is found that they have
used only two or three bottles. Some days
they have used it according to the directions,
and others have not touched it. The whole
trial has been irregular, and of course less fa-
vorable result has come from their use. If it
be true that "what is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, how emphatically it is true
in matters relating to the health A few bot
ties Of Plantation Bitters have often wrought
wonders, while in other instances disease has
only been subdued alter weeks of resistance.
