A lady writes the Floral Cabinet as
follows: Regarding theories only as
nicely poised speculative principles to
be more admired than practiced- we
pass them lightly by, and deal with
the facts of commonplace things Of
everyday life.. For the benefit Of the
young housekeeper, just embarking on
this chequered voyage, we would re-
peat the simple principles given to us
twenty-five years ago by an Inexperienced,
prastical friend, in favor of which we
now declare after so long test. First,
look with care that nothing be wasted ;
second, a place for every article, and
always in its place. This is quite easy
even for thosewho cupysmall houses.


A few bags, each with two eyelets, by
which to hang against the wall, in some
convenient place, will afford ample
storage for great number Of articles.


One will contain the hosiery for the
family ); another the waste scraps, fit
only for the ragman in another, may
be deposited in neat rolls the larger
pieces for future needs. One should
always be provided in the pantry for
holdings spare tea cloths; balls Of fcotton,
also, are quite safe in such d place.


Thirdly, see that everything is kept
|scrupulously clean. Once each week
the labors Of the laundry should EN-
brace and cleanse each soiled garment
or piece of cotton or linen, no matter
how small or unimportant it may
seem. Let no garment pass from the
ironing-board to its fixed deposit with.

sure freedom from the least particle Of
impurity.


The comfort and elegance Of meal
consists not so much in the elaborate
display of china, glass, and silver, or
the great variety Of yiands, as it does
in simplicity and neatness. A snowy,
well-ironed table-cloth, with bright
service neatly arranged, and a few
well-prepared dishes, chief among
which are the soft fresh bread, and
sweet golden butter, from out a dairy
kept sweet by plenty of pure air, and
whose pans are regarded as carefully as
though they were china vases. With
these few easy principles accepted as
guides many gloomy house would be
converted into cheerful, smiling
home. Many poor man would be-
come wealthy. Comfort and plenty
would take the place Of disquiet and
want. tfa


In every well-regulated home there
are seasons and hours for recreation,
both for body and mind. Rest consists
not in the entire cessation of labor,
but we find it most and sweetest in the
change from drudgery to some lighter
employment in which the mind takes q
pleasing interest; something that calls
into exercise the pleasing emotions o.
our nature, from the constant exercise
of which we receive healthy vigol
that laughs at nostrums. A thrill O1

The slave States of the Union have in
their geographical isolation constituted
from the foundation Of the Government q
standing danger to the American Union.
In one sense they have formed, as it were.
the Southern Canada of the nation. So
cially aristocratic and monsrchical by polit-
ical tradition, these cavalier States were,
from the first hour OF our republican exper
iment in government, alive. to those things
which lie at the foundation Of all popular
forms of government. These auti-Ameri-
can characteristics were intensified by the
institution of human slavery. For these
reasons the slave South was held to- the
Union only by the love of power which she
welded in our politics, added to what Mr.
Calhoun sptly termed the cohesive attrac-
ton of the public plunder. When power
and patronage passed from the control of
the South there remained nothing whatever
to bind her people to the Republic She
was ready for disunion or war, or any
other experiment. (" in order to be freed
from the rule of those whom she detested,
and for whom she could never feel any
political or social sympathy whatever.


We allude to these facts at this time be-
cause the situation Of the nation demands
that the people should have thorough
understanding of the nature of the crisis
through which we are now passing. We
are in danger of seeing the old slave
South refortIaed inside of the Uaion by
the increased power of the negro vote.
We are in danger of seeing the "Solid
South" become once more the sectional
balance of power in our national politics.
The result Of such state of things would
be the serfdom of the negro, the division
oil the North, the triumph of caste and the
widespread decentralization of the people.
For these evils there can be but one rem
edy. Thst remedy is to be found 10
maintaining in their Republican integrity
the four citadel States of the South. These
citadel States are Mississippi, Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina. If these Re-
publican States are maintained in the
right of local self-government the South
ern Canada will bacome thoroughly
Americsnized. Southern sec.lonslism
will in such an event be overthrow own.
Political caste will also be ovsrthrown.
The Solid South as political force in our
politics will cease to exist. 4


Around these citadel States of the South,
therefore, the future battle for Republican
liberty is to be fought out in the new
world. Each of these States is as uu-
questionably Republican as Kentucky is
unquestionably Democratic. Mississippi,
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina
contain large msjoritiss of legal registered
Republican voters. To add to the signi6-
canoe of this fact, these msjorities are
colored, and hence bound by every con-
siderstion to the fortunes of the party of
liberty and civil equality. If law and
right and humanity triumph in these
States, then the Republic is safe. If not
not Look to the citadel States.
