BY HENRY WAltl) HEECIIEU, December 17tli. 18C0. REV. IlENUY WAltD RnKCHElt. Dear Sir: I'loaso inform mo thruult tho columns of tho A'cit' l'ori Ledger, woo ualn's wire wn.9, nntl oiillfo A REAUEIt'or THE IiEDOElt. Tlicro H no record of Cain's court ship or wedding. Ilowover Inlcrcstltij to tho parties themselves, It Is of no in terest to us, except upon tho duiiikhI tlon that tho ticcouut in fJcuests of tho creation of Adam was designed to ex elude tho supposition that people hud been creatul. If Adam and Kvo were tho tolo progenitors of tho race, then Cain and Abel, it is Inferred, must liavo married their own sisters a connec tion which Is shocking to tho sensibili ties of tho wholo race, at a subsequent tilugo of development. But many of tho Fathers of tho Church denied that Adam and Eve, and their children, were tho only peo ple on tho (jlobo. They nillrmed that tho text in Oenesls very plainly implies that tlicro wcro other Inhabitants be sides Adam's family. They allege that verso H of chapter 1 of Oenesls, plainly Implies that tho earth was already widely populated. For, when Uod do clarcd that Cain should bo driven out from his family, and mado a vagabond In tho o.irtli, Cain deprecatodltho sen teiice,and pleaded that "cvptyonu that llmleth mo shall slay mfci' It was plainly not his family conJffctlons that ho feared, fur ho desired nojPo bo driv en forth from them. It. was tho people ho should meet wheiijfn wanderer In tho earth. Who, thonftwcro theso peo plo whom Cain feared to ineft when ho should have gono forth Into tho earth? It is also reasoueiljby scholars that tho most iiattirulsBclhod of soothing his fears would liavo been to tell him, " Tlicro aro no other peoplo on earth except your father's children,'' Instead of that tho Lord is represented as fall Ing in wlthlfc'ain's Itiipre.-slon respect Irk' .tfid.'noiiulatioii of tho world, and ii marl: iiiKin mln lest hnv fifedlrig blra should kill him," (Oen. 1: 10) Still further it is said that Cain, separating himself from his kindred, woot to tho land of Nod, east of Fdom, ant) ho bullded a city, nnd called the nnmoof tho city after his son Enoch, Tho fathers very ji'erllnantly asked, "whero did tho people como from, that lived in this city? That would bo an extraordinary stnto of things which should havo enabled Cain to 1111 up a city, however small, with his town children 1 And it is inferred, therefore, that thero wcro' others In tho land be sides tho immediate posterity of Ad tin. If Adam waatho only progenitor, Cain must liavo married his slater, if thero wero other lines of people, other Adams, as it were, then Cain might have mnrrled into another stock. Wo do not express any Judgment in tho matter. Wo glvo our correspond ent tho opinions that havo been held In tho early days of tho church, but with tho additional statement, that almost all modern christian writers havo reject ed them. Rut as tho origin of races lifts, In our tlay, assumed nn Important bden title development, and as very many ablo scientists hold to a variety of original raco stocks, It is Interesting to know that thoso vlows havo been held bofore, and upon supposed Ribllcal ground!

When you seo n young innii of mod- fst, respectful, retiring manners, not given to pride, to vanity, or ilattery.hp will mako n good husband, for ho will bo tho samo "kind man" towards his wlfo after marrlngo' that ho was bo foro It. When you seo a young man of frugal and Industrious habit, no "fortune hunter," but who would, tako n wife for tho value of herself, and not for tho tako of her wealth, that man will mako n good husband, for his affections will not decrease, neither will ho bring him self or ills partner to poverty nnd want. When you seo a young man whoso manners aro of tho boisterous and dis gusting kind, with ;"brass" enough to iiiauo liitn think overy ono ;lnfur!or to himself, don't marry him, girls j ho will not mako a good husband. lien you eoo a young man who Is using ids bast endeavors to ralso him self frow obscurity, lo credit, character and nilluence, by his own merits, mar ry mm ; no will mako a good husband and ono worth having. When you seo a young man depend ing solely for his reputation nnd stand ing in society, upon tho wealth of n rich father or other relation, don't marry him, forgoodueoa' sako j ho will mako a poor husband. when you seo rt young man. ono linlf employed In adoring his person, or riding through tho streets lu gigs, who leaves his debts unpaid, although frequently demanded ; never, never do you marry him, for ho will lu overy re spect mako a bad husband. When you seo a young man who nev er engages in affrays or quarrels by day nor follies by night, aud whoso goncral conilust Is not of so mean a character as to mako him wish to conceal Ids uanio; who dots not keep low compa ny, gamble, nor break tho Habbath, nor uso profano language, but whoso faco is seen regularly at church, whero ho ought to be, ho will certainly make a goo l iiusUatul. When a young man who is bolow you In wealth oilers you marrIago,don't deem it it disgrace, but look Into his character; and if you find it corre sponds with theso directions, tako him, and you will get a good husband, Never mako money an object of mar riage, for If you do, depond upon it, as a balanco to tho good, you will get n bad husband. When you see n young mau who is attcntivo aud kind to his sisters, or aged mother j who is not ashamed to bo seen on the streets with tho womnn who gsivo him birth and nursed him, supporting her weak nnd tottering fr.tmo upon his arm, and who will at tend to all her llttlo wants with filial love', affection and tenderness, take him girls who can get him, no matter what circumstances In llfo ; ho Is truly worth tho winning aud having, and will in certainty mako a good husband. Lastly always examlno Into charac ter, conduct und motives, and when you find theso good In a young man, then you may bo suro ho will mako a good husband. Saio l'art of Your Income. Again nnd again wo urgo upon all young men, who nro just starting In life, to mako It an Invariable rulo to lay nsido a certain proportion of their in come, whatever that incoino may be. Lxlravagaut expenditures occasion a very largo part of tho sufferings of a great majority of people And extrava gance Is wholly a relatlvo term. What Is not at nil extravagant for ono person may bo very extravagant for another. Expenditures Jib matter how small lu themselves thly may bo aro always extravagant when they como fully up lo lliocntlro amount of n person's wholo Income. 'Iho modo of living is almost entiiely a matter of habit. It Is Just ns easy to get nlong on threo. fourths of your in come whatever tho amount of it may be as on tho wholo .of it, if you only think so, and restrict your expenditures accordingly. A young'man who after ward became ono of tho wealthiest mer chants In Philadelphia, went to house keeping on a salary of threo hundred dollars a year, but ho laid up a part of that threo hundred dollars : and ho mado It a rulo of his llfo nover to In crease his expenses so fast as his Incomo Increased. Tho thousand inconveniences of debt embarrassment nnd dependence may all bo avoided hy a firm and uiidevlating adherence to this rule. Ono great aid in pursuing the couroo wo havo recommended, will bo found in keeping an accurate account of all ro eelpts und expenditure, ity frequent reforencu to this you will seo Just what' you can afford to expend, without en croaching on our rulo; and you will also eoo what of your expenditures you can most conveniently curtail, or cut off entirely. Thero Is n great doal, too, In rellectlon mid foresight In the expenditure of your money. It Is a very common remark that ono person will muko tho same amount go twlco us far as nnotber. This Is owing to tho employment of greater piudeneo nnd Judgment in buying. Al most any uuiount of money can bo thrown away nnd scarcely anything obtalnid for It, by u thoughtless, care less spendthrift. Wo despise skiulliiits. Hut economy nntl meanness nro by uo means identi cal. On tho contrary, as it Is easy for nny ono to see, an unselfish, Judicious economy a wiso saving furnishes not only thu means of Independence, but of benevolence and generosity nlso.

Jtnrk Twain's Aiitlco to Parent n. Ilnvlng refiocted deeply for half nn hour on tho subject of domestic disci pline, I fccl'JIko apnrlng n fow sugges tions relatlvo to the best method of bringing up children. Reiugnbncho lor without children, my suggestions nro ns likely to bo dlslutcreslt-d as if I had never scon a child. According to my observation, tho most difficult lime to bring up children Is in tho morning. You do, sometimes, though seldom, bring them up lu the morning by yelling at them , but tho eiToctlvcncss of this process diminishes with lis repetition, even when not en tirely naturalized by tho children's trick of stopping their cars with tho bed clothes. Tho only prompt, effect 1 va nnd absolutely reliable, method Is to bring them up by tho hair. If your child Uas.nrgood, healthy scalp, with nut nny tendency to prcmaturo bald ness, this method will work with most gratifying efficiency. Try It nbout onco a week, and you will bo surprised lo obiorvo how Its Influence will extend through the six days' interval, Inspir ing your child with tho liveliest possi ble Interest In tho resplendent pagean try of sunrise. To bring up a darling child by tho hair requires tho oxorciso of Bomo energy nnd firmness; but no nffectionato parent will licsltato nt anv llttlo sactlflco of this kind for tho wel fare of his offspring. Nothing can bo moro fatal to your dlsclpllno than to allow your children to contradict you. If you happen to bo betrayed Into any misstatement or ox aggoratlon in their presence, don't per mit thom to correct you. Right or wrong, you must obstinately Insist on your infallibility, nnd promptly sup press every symptom of puerllo skepti cism, with forco If need bo. Tho mo ment you permit them lo doubt your unerring wisdom, you will begin to forfeit tluir respect nntl pander to their conceit. Thcro can bo no sadder spec tacle than a parent surrounded hv ollvo branches who think they know moro than ho does. I vividly remember how my father wtio was ono of tho most rigid nnd successful of disciplinarians -quelled tho a-qdring egotism that prompted mo to correct his careless ro mark (when ho was reckoning a prob lorn in shillings), that flvo times twelve- was sixty-two nnd a half. "So," said he, climbing over his spectacles, and surveying mo grimly, "yo llilnlc yo know moro'n your father, hey '.' Como 'croto mol" His invitation was too pressing to bo declined, and for a fow excruthttlng moments I reposed in bit tcr humiliation ncross his left knee. with my nock in tho embraco of his left arm. I didn't seo him demonstrate his mathematical nccuracy, with tho palm of his right hand; on'tlie largest patch of my trowsers, but I eft that tho old man was right; and when, after com pletely eradicating my faith In tho multiplication ,tabla,7JiD asked how much flvo times twelv6'.frns, I insisted, Willi tears in my eyes that it was sixty two nnd a half. "That's right 1" said he; "I'll larn yo to respect ycr father, If I havo to thrash yo twolvo times n day. Now go'n water them bosses, n bo lively, tool" Tho old gentleman didn't permit my respect for him to wano much until tho Inflammatory rheumatism disabled lilra ; and even then ho continued to Inspire mo with nwo until I was thoroughly convinced that ins disability was permanent. unquestioning obedlenco -J tho crowning gruco of childhood".

Care of Cows and Milk Inj Winter. It is Important, in making butter at this season of tho year, that Iho cream should bo kept at an even temperaturo previous to tho churning, Itought not to bo allowed to fall below fifty-flvo do, grees, of nt inoit below fifty degrees, and if it does thero will bo troublo in making tho butter come. It is often a good plan, whero the fa cilities for keeping tho milk at a uni form temperature do not exist, to scald tho milk by setting It In tho pan upon the slovo till it "crinkles'' ou tho edgoi of tho coating of cream that rises, nnd then to sot It nway whero tho tempera ture will not fall below tho point named. Tho cream will rlso rapidly and the churning will bo easier. Whero few coivs only aro kept, and the quantity of cream Is not sufficient to churn moro than onco or twlco a WP2k, keep tho cream lu a crock or Jar anil when now cream Is atlded, stir the wholo well together, adding a small quantity of flno alt at the samo tlmo. It will facllitato tho churning very greatly. Wo liavo known thissituplo method to bo adopted and followed with great success. Hut tho feeding of tho cows in tho butter dairy at this season of the year und in Winter Is of special Importance, since they arc deprived of tho sweet and nutritious grasies of tho Spring and Fall, on which they naturally pro duco tho highest quality and quantity of butter. For tho present, many fann ers have a few pumpkins loft. Others reed apples, small potatoes nnd other substances. Somo of those, llko pump lcins, mako ricii milk. Hut, ns a gener al thing, tho butter dairy farmer will "flud his account" in adding a llttio bran or shorts or middlings, or lu want of theso a small quantity of meal. Theso add very greatly to tio quality of tho milk nnd butter, and at present prices aro not over and above expen sive as coinparcd'wlth feeding alono ou hay. A ;ilttlo extra pains In preparing tho food for cows In milk In cold weather Is goad economy. And if wo tako tho troublo to warm tho water and mako a sort of mash hy mixing tho bran Into It, tho result will bo still moro tatlsfnc tory. When allowed to drink" all tho cold wnter they want, the chill Is so great that It shrinks them moro or less. 'Airf, I'HeM ami Farm, Truthfulness. Of all happy households, that is tho happiest whero fnliohodu" Is nover thought of. All peace la, broken up when onco it appears their, is n liar in tho house. All comfort Is gone when suspicion has onco entered wiisb ihoro must be reserve In talk nnd reservation In belief. Anxious parents, who ate awnro of tho pains of suspicion, will placo gonernl conudenco In their chil dren, nnd receive what they say freely, unless thero is strong reason to distrust tho truth of nny ono. If such an occa sion should unhappily arise, they must keep tho suspicion from spreading as long ns possible, and avoid disgracing their poor child whllo thcro is a chance of its euro by their confidential assist ance. Ho should have their pity nnd assiduous help, ns if ho were suffering under somo bodily disorder. If ho can ho cured, ho will becomo duly grateful for tho treatment. If tho ondeavor fall, means must of course bo taken to pravont his example from doing harm; and thon, ns I said, tho family pcaco Is broken up, bocnuso tho family confi dence Is gono.

Multltudesof our species nro living in such n solflsh manner that they aro not likely to bo remembered nftcr their disappearance. They lenvo behind them scarcely any traces of their existence, and are forgot ten almost as tliougli tliey had nover been. They are, while they live, like somo pebhlo lying unobserved among a million on tho shore; and when they dio they are llko that same pebblo thrown Into tho sea, which just rufllos tho surface, sinks, nnd is forgotten. without being missed from tho beach. They aro neither regretted by the rich, wanted by the poor, nor celebrated by the learned. Who has been tho batter for their lire? Whoso tears have they dried up? Whoso wants supplied? Whoso misery havo thoy healed? Who would unbar tho gatoot lifo to re-admit them to existenco? or what faco would greet them back again to our world with smile?

As no ono know you wero coming, of course they did not reserve one. When n car is crowded, don't fill a seat with your bundles. True pollto ness Is not amiss even amidst Iho con fusion and bustlo of a public convey ance. If an open window proves uncom- fortabio to another, you will closo It. Whispering In church Is impolite. Besides showing disrespect to tho sneak er, it is extremely annoying to thoso who wish to hear. Coughing should be avoided ns much as possible.

Hnvo tho courage to dischargo a debt whllo you have tho money Jn your pocket. Havo tho courago lo do without that which you do not need, howovcr much your eyes may covet It, Havo the courago to speak your mlt.d when It is necessary you should do so, and to hold your tongue when It Is pru- umt you should do so. Have the courage to speak to a menu In a "sHiy' coat, oven though you are In companj with, a rich one, and richly attired. Havo tho courago to mako a will, aud a Just one. liavo tne courago to tell a man why you will not lend him your money. Havo tho courago to "cut" the most ngrccablo acquaintance you have, when you aro convinced that he lacks princi ple. "A friend should bear with a friend's Infirmities," but not with Ida vices. liavo the courago to show your re spect for honesty, In whatever gulso It appears; nnd your contempt for dis honest duplicity, by whomsoever ex hibited. Have tho couraco to wear your old clothes until you can buy new ones. Have the courage to obey your Maker, at (he risk of being ridiculed by man. Have tho courage to prefer comfort and propriety to fashion, In all things. Havo tho courago to acknowledge your Ignorance, rather than to seek credit for knowledge under falso pre tenses. Have tho courago to provldo enter tainment for your friends, within your means not beyond. Have tho courago to tako a good paper, and to pay for It annually in ad vance Live With In Your Means. Wo don't llko etingincss. Wo don't llko economy, when It comes down to rags and starvation. Wo havo no sym pathy with tbo notion that a poor man should hitch himself fast to a post, and standstill, whllo tho rest of tho world move forward. It Is no man's duty to deny himself overy amusement, every recreation, eyefy comfort, that he may get rich. It Is no mnn's duty to make an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyea and ears to tho sufferings of his fellows, aud deny himself tho enjoyment that results from generous actions, merely that ho may hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel about. But there is an economy which Is every man's duty, and which is especially commendable In the man who struggles with poverty an econo my which is consistent with happiness, and which must be practised if the poor man would sccuro independence. It Is almost overy man's privilege, and it becomes bis duty to live within his means not up to them, but within them. Wealth docs not make the man, we admit, and should never bo taken Into account in our Judgment of men, but competence should always bo se cured, when It can be, by the practice of economy anil self-denial to only a tolcrablo extent. It should bo secured, noi so much for. others to look upon, or raise us In tho cnstimallon of others, ns to secure tho consciousness of lndepen- denco, and tho constant satisfaction which' Is derived from Its acquirement ntiji possession. Drcjs at Washington. Olivia, the chatty Washington corre spondent of tho Prett, in writing an ac count of n recent reception at the White House says : " One most noticeable fact In relation to tho receptions of tho winter is the wearing of last year's costumes. Very few new dresses are seen, and black silk was worn by ninc-tcntliR of the ladies who' went to Mrs. Grant's reception. A very fow tralus wero seen, but walk ing dresses wero tho" rule and long dresses tho exception. A great many liats wero. worn, but tho most elegant toilettes wcro finished by bonnots.
