A BOSTON KITCHEN SERMON PREACHED
TO YOU HO OIRLS CNTEMPLAT1NQ
MARR1AOE.
Tho editor of the Boston Herald,
having Attended a kitchen school, re
lates what he saw in this domestic
way: ,
When fashion sanctions a sensible
thing, it is well that fashion should
hare its due meed of praiso. Now it
cannot be denied that it is both sensi
ble and fashionable to acquire some
knowledge of that too-ofton neglected
feminine aceomplishment cooking.
That young lady who plays the piano
with artistio skill and fueling may con
tribute much to tho pleasure of cir
cle of persons, but like herself, they
must nave not only musical utile, out
a cultivated luate, and the circle is
necessarily small, nhe wbo sings witb
exceptional grace and scnlimcnt may
appeal to a larger circle oi bearers,
whose emotions are suBoeptibla to tho
subtle sympathy of the human voice.
She who talks well, and, what is rarer,
Imleiis with appreciation, may, it is
trne, make herself an object of admi
ration to yet a more numerous host of
friends, but she who understands bow
all the dolicolo combinations of the
culinary art are achieved, and can
spread a break taut, dinner and tea so
that ull wbo look upon tbein, whether
hungry or not, shall rejoice, may con
trol the sprines that govern all male
and female kind ; for we all have the
sense of tat,tu, and we all have stom
achs, and howovcr we may with to
look upon tins function and organ
with oontenipt, yet tbey are a pari of
the syslom winch, we are wont to say,
was uivinely planned. At all events
the stomach may be controlled to a
pacification and geniality of temper,
and, indeed, to temporary happiness,
by palatable vtaiius, luen why euouid
not these desirablo results constitute
an object worthy of study, time and
effort? Then when that powerful mo
tor affection thrusts itself forward
for consideration, there is left virtual
ly nothing to be said on tba other side.
w nn juiss ranoa nere giving ner
private lessons and publio lectures,
there need be no youthful martyr of a
husband such as Dickens paints David
Copperfleld, and no helpless, well-wishing
out do nothing Dora at the mercy
of a merciloss Mary Ann, wbo could
send in dinner an hour late, and that
in a condition for a fight with all the
digestive organs, Willi no tear ot any
thing more corrective than remon
strance. With Miss farloa bore, all
such Doras may learn to circumvent
the Mary Anns. 1 hey can know why
tho beef is tougher than Mary Ann's
conscience; why the potatoes .arc
heavier than our step, why the tea
has an herb taste, barely suggestive
of the true csnonco "long drawn out,"
and the pudding has .combined flavor
of all the disagreeablos ever compound
ed by Mary Ann. To get an idea how
this desirable result is attained, it is
only neoessary to peep into
Miss parloa's rooms
on Traroont street this morning. It Is
nuite annroDriato. bv the wav. that
one should reach loose apartments
through the artistio entrance of the
Art furnishing Rooms, catching a
glimpse, on the way to the third floor,
of stained glass door fights and other
evidences or rennca lalte.
First there is a small reception room.
simply furnished. But through a door
way, hnng with drab curtains, comes
a flood of light and s glimpse of plants
and pleasant faces, and a chattering
sound, and stirring sound, and stilling
sound, and a subdued gurgling sound.
Voices, spoons, cooking and laughter
these ar th ingredients, and, be
fore going further, let it be said that
the congiomeration is delightful to
more senses than one. While giving
the details of the room fiirnishinirs, tho
chief ornaments have been reserved
till the last. Tbey ar the six ladies
who comprise
THE PBIVATE CLASS.'
of on of the mornings qf th woek.
They are all young marriod ladies,
though thure are other classes of mar
ried ladies only, and still others mixed.
Thcso tallica are dressed for the occa
sion, sorao in protly print, socks and
overdresses, and some in simple wool
materials with ample print aprons.
Two stand at the contra table prepar
ing a la modi beef, two at the long
(able mixing pound cako, and the re
maining couple are busy alternately
stirring a stew pan of mow, witb which
to make blane mange. 1 All of these
ladies have by them tho Applcdore
cook book, of which Miss i srloa I
the author, and which she nses in all
her lectures and classes as a text book,
although she gives considerable infor
mation outside of this, which is jotted
down, from lime to time, by th mom-
bcrs of the class least engaged. All
those receipts have been tried, they
being those which Miss Parloa bas
gained by her experience aa pastry
cook at ouch well known hotels a the
Rockingham House, at Portsmouth,
the Pavilion, at Wolfbore, the McMil
lan, at North Conway, and the Applc
dore, at the Isles of Hhoals. The book
is divided Into parts for plain and rich
food, so that viands tor ordinary, toon-
omiool use and for festive oooasion
are impartially treated.
Miss Parloa, during th. cooking,
acts aa director: the ladies appealing to
Dor constantly, ana asking all sorts ol.
qnestions. in lact, a pleasant ripple
of eon vernation is kept up from th
opening of tber class at 9:80 till
Its
At
olos at 1 o'clock, or thereabout,
present th morning w. have ia mind
she is giving ber attention chiefly to
in n m moat seer, wnica is lb impor
tant dish of the da. Tho members
of this clam ar taking a eours of
twenty-lour lessons. For this term
they pay aeb Wl and (bay pay also
lor the materials they use. miss far
loa makes lh porchasoe of suoh arti
cles aa tbey require lor lb dubs tbey
agree upon cooking on in succeed log
lesson oay, ana eacn pays ber propor
tion of the bill. Th. dishes, whsn
cooked, tbey divid. and take home
with them ss a sample or their skill,
and thsy also prepare a little lunch of
which they partake in th. most social
manner at the close of the lesson. For
instance, on lite day of Ui. ile-
scribed coffV wss mad, and ia this
way: A coffee cup full ol two part
idocba to ono of Java, ia about thro
pint, ot water; on. egg with shell;
boiled about fly minutes. On this
occasion cream was indulged in on ao-
eoonl of the blane mange, wbieb. b.
ing put th mould on th toe, was
ready for lunch. Titer, wer Graham
bread, . w bit bread and rolls; lha
oonnd cake, which turned out a sec
oeeo, was first tried on top with a knif.
and broksa becaaa or Ma I rasa
fried banana, olioed lenrthwls. and
fried in chicken fat, wbicb was said by
Mis Parloa to k. Dear stalieaU lean
any othor kind. The little repast wo
most enjoyaoie, ana was eviuenuy
looked forward to witb no little antici
pation, as one lady was board to in
quire one or twice if it wore not most
lunch time.with an unmistakable smack
ofthe lips. All the while tbe a la
mode beef was simmering, but was not
to bd taken homo, as it could not be
done In tune. Plans were discussed
and settled for sending for th individ
ual parts tho next day, however, and
several little pails and boxes of lip and
baskets were brought forth to carry
away slices of tbe boned turkey wbicb
bad formed th feature of th previous
lesson, and also was too long a task U
reap the benefit of on tho same day of
its pxeparauon.
Ia her private classes Mis Parloa
has several little treats ' that partake
something of the character of prizes.
One of the is a large blue and whit.
tile, which ia presented to any engag
ed young lady when known . that
she is about to be married, and conse
quently when these tiles appear, as
tbey do whenever hotrsauce pans, lo.,
sre to be placed upon the table, tber
is not a little joking as to the next
nrobable recipient ol the gift. The seo
und treat is a dinner party, one of
which is accorded a class taking
twelve lessons, and two a class taking
twenty-four. These dinner parlies are
givon by the young ladies to their gen
tlemen friends. Miss Parloa superin
tends the whole affair, helping to har
monise the different desires as to dishes,
into a symmetrical bill of faro. Tbe
young ladies spend be onlir day at
th class rooms, ana cook every oisn-
themselves. A recent occasion of this
kind txcur rod on bread day. This day
was probably selected because of man's
universul delight in tbe "staff of life."
MISS PARLOA'S LECTURES
are given throe or four times a week
in tbe afternoon. On Saturday after
noon she gives one at the Lassell Sem
inary in Auburndale. In ber lectures
here Is given tho same instruction as
to her private pupils. She prepares
nerseii ail me uiaues annuuncuu, aitow-
ng every stag of tho process. Final
ly, when the things are cooked, ah
deal out and distribute, tb. com
pounds in tasting doses. "What does
she do with all these things ?" is fre
quently asked by a new comer at an
early stage of the lecture, referring to
the viands undor way ; but a number
of leaves of bread, a great deal of salad,
and a large piece of meat can very
speedily be consumed by eighty or
one hundred ladies. These lecture.
are distinct, each being completo in
itselt. They do not form a courso, as
has been supposed. The most popu
lar subjects treated are respectively
puff paste, salads, bread, charlotte
russe, etc On puff paste days tbe en
try is full long before 2:30 o'clock, tbe
lecture hour, arrives.
Although this is Miss Parloa's first
season witb ber school, It is not ber
first with lecturing. It may be ro
membarod that she sounded the ladios
of tbe city last year in a series of talks
at Traraont Temple, when, although
they wore not financially successful,
they gav her th. assaranc that an
interest in tb subject might b awak
ened. Her very first lecture was giv.
en in New London, Connecticut, In
1876, in aid of a little Methodist boct
ty in Mandarin, Florida, where Miss
Parloa taught a publio school for two
years. Ibis little cbnrcb wanted an
organ, and Miss farloa s sympathies
were exerted in its behalf, and, to
gether with her friends, she raised a
sura of a little less than 1100 for this
object. It is by bor experience in
teaching that she is now able to con
duel her school, for to be a capable
cook is by no moans to be able te help
other to become tb same. .
. HOI FOR LIBERIA.
" A dark cloud overshadows th. city
of Charleston. Two or litre hundred
colored folks wbo were to have sailed
for Liberia at and weeping aad wailing
and gnashing tbeir ivory and look ing
out to sea, wondering when the de
parting emigrant ship Asor will come
back to take tbem away. Tb effect,
of the colored portions having" been
stowed ia tb Asors hold, the veasol
bad to bo detained While they coo Id be
hoisted out ; and as the goods ot lha
would-be emigrants who expected to
go were intimately mixed among tbose
of the actual emigrants who do go the
confusion incitlent on gottuig tbe right
goods out and leaving tho oinors in
the hold may bo imagined. Emigrants
to Liberia do not equip thomselves
with new Saratoga trunks, sicely let
tered on both ends, but rather do up
their portable proporly in second-band
comfortables and blankets. Tbe pro
moter of tba emigrant expedition an.
pear to have thought that tbe good
shin Asor was a street car, If we may
judge from tbe way in which tbey pro
ceeded to pack her. The voyager
would nave baa nanaing room, ana
robably band-strap by wbicb to
sng tbomsslves tjp betvocn -decks.
Tbis would have been in some respects
inconvenient ; and vet' thei idea sug
gested by suck a yl of transit may
lead to a eolation of th great prob
lem of how to overcome sea-sickness.
It ia evident that if a voyager, white
or colored, is compelled to give bis
whole time and thought to the busi
ness of banging oa by these strap, he
bas neither leisure, spaoa nor ability
to be sea-sick with any degree of com
ftirt ) that as it may, w. find a
large company of colored people una

THE SUPERWTEXDEXCY.
Ma. Editob : Without doubting
that tbe seal of our School Directors
will b sufficient to secure tbeir pre'
ence at tho coming Convontion, or their
ability to choose a Superintendent with
discrimination, I yet presume to offer
a lew suggestions wbicb continued ob
servation suggests as of special impor
tance, And first, let me spoak of the
lofty nature oi the Director s trust An
idea of its dignity and importance as
eontemplated by the framerg of the
school system Is suggested by tbe fact
that they attached no emolument to
tb office not even a pecuniary one
as though they would secure the
services ot tbose wbo drew their in
spiration from tbe lofty character of
their labor, and have the devotee of
education, like those of Its twin sister,
religion, inspired by a noble emulation
to promote a glorious cause, uninflu
enced by the petty motive which so
often prompt men to seek official sta
tion. ' Uonce, while the thought that
there is ao pecuniary recompense is
apt to cbill th ardor of Directors, tbe
me thought , should turnisb tbeir
bighost inspiration and enthusiasm, by
suggesting to them tbe all important
character ot tbeir trust, tbe duty they
owe to those who have entrusted to
them their highest interest, and to the
free school system, whose agents they
are, in Its efforts to establish itself In
tbe hearts of the people.
Among tbe most important of tbe
duties of the coming Convention is, to
l early define itself on the County
sormal School question. Ihe state
has estsblished schools foi tbe special
purpose of training teachers and offers
superior Inducements for their attend
anoe. There, tho theory and practice
of teaching receives constant and care
ful attention, all the best methods of
imparting knowledge are illustrated
and applied, tho toachor student 1s
furnished a class of pupils in the
" Model School," where, under the
superintendence of a competent teacher,
be la roquiroj to teat tbe oineront
methods and rejtort bis success at a
weekly mooting, held for the purpose,
whore tbe matter is fully entered upon,
the merit and demerits developed,
d iffioultie adviud against, and methods
of avoiding them suggested. In audi
tion, they lis ve tb advantage com
mon to all school that are permanent
and Continuous tn tbeir work, and
which will be sufficiently suggested by
a reference to tbo defects ol the County
Uormal School, to which i will now
refer, and which is entirely without
the advantages peculiar to the State
Ntrmal School, or common to perma
nent schools of any character ; for a
three enontb terra cannot result in
that thorough and fllcient organisa
tion which i but lb growth of time,
and the school is no sooner classified
than th abort term is ended. Tben,
there is an nttor absence of the reading
rooms, libraries, encyclopaedias, philo
sophical apparatus, with teachers prac
ticed ia it a, wall organised debating
aad literary aocietiea, and, above all,
there ia lacking that educational atmos
phere or influence SO necessary to suc
cessful school 111. This is a very
modified statement of th anavoidabl
and th inherent defects ot the County
Normal School, bat surely 'ti enough
to condemn it to stamp it aa a prolific
means of robbing teacher of their
Hammer's time and Winter' evenings.
llut their liability to abuse, gives to
them tb most unequivocal stamp of
condemnation ; for aa true liberty con-
ails not in tb met tbat It I enjoyed, but
in th Tact that It cannot be violated
or asartisdt ejo-tbe-merlU ot a system
is measured not by tb fact thai 'tis
not abused, but by Its liability to abuse ;
and w cannot reflect on th tempta
tion at Hupenntonfiani to mak, and
the teacher te- jealoasly believe-be
makes, iavldaoa distinctions between
those who attend bis Normal and those
who prefer to go where tbey will have
facilities for more (ucoessful school
life t to aeeure th attendance ot a
teacher by pro mis of empioyraeat
th coming Winter, who (, perhaps,
unworthy, and wbo thus further lues
inspiration te brae merit, wkieh should
be tb mean re of bio ebanoe for em
ployment ; to mislead Director ia their
ehoio of teacher, by examining th
Noma! todat at tbe Geo ef tbe
school term where lb Director cannot
attend aad In tba branch tbey hav.
conned daring the term ; te give them
M&MJUM
th choice labor at the Institute, know
ing tbey will re-echo hi sentiments ;
to smile and nod approvingly as be
hears his peculiar views dovoloped, and
cry "Time is up" wbon opposition
from some independent thinker threat
en to knock down lb men of straw.
But not to tediously enumerate, 1 sug
gest if tbey but reflect on tb oppor
tunities lor invidious distinction ; for
unjust (?) suspicion of Ihe Superintend
ent ; for rancor, jealousy and bitterness,
where all should be harmony and co
operation ; on th inherent defects of
the system which would mak its best
effort abortive ; the fact that its con
tinuance i a violation oi the spirit, if
not the letter, ol tbe State INormnl
School law ; tbat those efficient insti
tutions which th State has so gener
ously provided for tbe training of its
teachers are within a few hours' ride
on cither side of us, and demand our
patronage, both by tbeir superior ex
cellence and their necessities, they will
consider it not only advisable, but a
positive duty, to stamp on tho County
Normal the seal of their unqualified
condemnation.
Now, Mr. Editor, a few words as to
the qualifications ot a Superintendent,
and 1 have done. That teachers have
not sufficiently recognized the fact that
teaching is " a profession," requiring
special training and con tinned clovoi ion,
bus long been bewailed by both Direc
tor and citizen. Sow, I suggest that
the Directors obooso a Superintendent
wbo is an exponent of tbat idea ; one
wbo has made teaching bis mistress,
and long and devoutly worshipped at
her shrino ; one wbo can retor, In the
explication of tbe teacher's difficulties,
to a knowledge born ot long and
earnest professional study, experience
and observation ; one whose energies
are not divided between teaching and
law, or medicine, or othor calling, bow-
ever laudable. A man who is looking
in another direction for his life's work,
who hopes to win wealth or fame in
another field, may have sufficient sense
of duty to perform bis duties, but they
will be perlormod tsnwh', without the
ardor and devotion which is necessary
to inspire others to efforts, and which
is only born of a love for the labor.
'Tis this singleness of purpose this
thought, that tbe work in band is tho
most important of all work, tbat has
accomplished all the mechanical, tbe
moral, tbe educational reforms and
conquests of tbe past, It is this must
lurnisb inspiration lot tne advance
ment of tbe future. Besides, it were a
slsp in the face, so to speak, to every
earnest professional teacher in the
county, to subject him to tbe espionage
and direction of one who is a parasite
in the profession who, vampire like,
clings to it and sucks its life-blood tbat
be may get strength to expend in an
other field. The necessity that re
quires the admission of those who make
teaching a mere stepping-stone even to
teach a school is a lamentable one; but
to make him a Superintendent ; to in
flict bim on professional teachers; to
bear bim disomboguo himself ot the
last vapid and senseless ebulition ot
some would-be popular school journal,
witb which hs has crammed bimself
in order to evinc a seeming fitness for
th occasion, is so atrocious that, like
Gail Hamilton, I cannot support tb
picture my fancy draw, but wbicb
would be more than realized in fact.
I fully endorse the suggestion of the
Osceola Reveille, that we should not
consider a man's political or religious
belief. But while 1 conoede that KAat
a man believes is irrevelant, how be be
lieve it I all important If a man is
a bitter partisan in politics ; is puri
tanical on the on band or Jesuitical on
th other in religion ; ii these leelings
are so intense as to colon all be says or
does ; if his devotion to certain ends is
such as to overcome scruples aa to ths
means, and others' rights are to bo dis
regarded, it is all important. VVsmust
have a man whosa belief, whatever it
is, is so bold as to be compatible with
tbe full enjoyment of others in them.
Our educational interests ere loo sacred
to have them jeopardized by sectarian
or partisan animosities and we want no
one wbo thinks he can serve a benefi
cent God, or promote a true political
liberty, by encroaching upon ths most
sacred rights ot man.
But my article bos already becomo
unduly long, and 1 must close. I ask
that you give this space in your paper ;
for it is intended to avoid personalities;
ta diaouaa tha matLar onlv on rjrincinle :
to suggost prolific thought to Directors
slid others ; and I do not anticipate
anyone taking it to bimsolf, for 'twos
not so intended ; besides, it wero a
severe reflection o themselves did
they see tbeir own personality reflected
in this article. Yours, &o.,

Penfibld, April 23, 1878.
Write Uousa Delinqukncibs. It
appears from certain examinations in
tbe "New Idrla Quicksilver Company,"
by Congress, that a private Secretary
of President Lincoln was in ths habit
of Bonding news of Cabinet meetings,
sec rot wsr policios, etc., to a broker in
this city, by a secret clpbor, and thon
the worthies wen wont to divide the
profits of tbe speculation. There have
been many charge, made against
Grant's While House delinquencies,
and doubtless justly, but we have al
ways believed that tbe sins ol Grant,
Babcock, ett , were trifling in compar
ison with IboL) of the crowd that slept
undor tbe same blankot witb old Abe.
Grant Babcock, otc., wore educated at
West Point and witb all the deteriora
tion of civil war, and worse still the
filthy Mongrel creed they assented to,
still retained a cortaia sons of bonor
and gentlemanly teeling impressed on
tbem is youth at West Point. But
Lincoln was vulgar and course In his
habits as he wa loose in his political
morality, and tbe crowd that surround
sd bim was as hoartless and conscience
less as bimself, and though it is not
likely tbat he sold offices himself he
permitted his wife and others to "trade"
to aa nnlimited extent He hsd great
natural ability bead and shoulders
above every man about biro and, as
with most beaillesa men, without an
atom ot malice in him, he neither

PARTIAL MUSCULAR DEVEL
OPMENT.
Any careful observer, passing along
our busier thoroughlures, or happen
ing into any country town on market-
day, or any where else where mon con
gregate, can hardly have failed to no
lice that while there are many strong
ones and many hearty ones, thoro are
very few who are cither thoroughly
erect or well-proportioned throughout.
And when it is remembered that tb
large majority of men in this oountry
are sons of farmers, merchants, mechan
ics, or laborers, it is not difficult to ao
count for tbis onosidednoss of build and
indifferent carriage. For, while the
farmer's work t vigorous and in tb
open air, for the greater part ol it, and
especially the harder part ot it con
stantly uses his back, and does but lit
tle for bis front, and particularly for
the front of his chest Mowing stoop
him over and rounds bis back ; so does
spading, and boeing, and wooding, and
lilting of nearly every sort. His back
grows thick and strong, perhaps mas
sive ; so do some of tbe muscles of his
arms, of his abdomon, and of his legs,
until they soon so outstrip tha others
that his spiao, getting once crooked
from being so long and so firmly hold
in one position, never gets out of it day
or night. While his whole work
strengthens, it also stiffens bim. Ho is
seldom a good walker, the habit of al
ways bitching up, though the errand
is toaplaco hardly a milo away, con
tributing to this stiffness, tound, as
it usually is, witb an inorect position
aa he rides, so unlike, by-tbe-way, that
which is so common among the Eng
lish stage-drivers, who elicited praise
Irom r.merson tor their dignined grand
fatherly air.
Few of tbe mechanic arts are any
more favorable to symmetrical devel
opment and uprightness of carriage.
The blacksmith, like the (armor, works
some muscles tremondously ; tbose of
bis hands, ot one or bis shoulders, and
of one of his arms, for instance ; but
bis legs are often indifferent, and bis
loins nothing great, while, in common
with hosts ot mechanics, his work is
not done in the open air. l'sinters and
plasterers havo good wrists ; carpen
ters plane and aaw and drive naila well
with tboir right bands ; masons, witn
back bent lilt heavy stones, which, with
oneol their hands,they hare chiselled in
to shape tor tbeir purpose ; snoe-muk-ers
hoop their backs rather more suc
cessfully than any othor trade ; and
tb jewellers, compositors, designers,
and all who do tbe finer, lighter work,
would never, merely by their daily toil,
dovelop into well-built, erect men if
they kept at it lor a thousand yeurs.
Men in mercantile lifesitorstand many
hours each day, are frequently burden
ed witb important and trying work,
havo so many irons in tho fire as to get
no rest, and at tbe end of tbe day find
themsolves thoroughly sxhaustod, and
in humor for anything but vigorous
muscular exertion. II their work calls
them out much, it nses their legs only
leaving the arms idle, and so keeping
the development but partial. The
spade, th pick, and th bar ot tha la
boring-man keep him stooped over in
spite of all he oan do, and be lives and
dies, as Charles Reade described bim
in bis admirable sketch of the brave
blind swimmer of the Scottish firth,

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
There it stands, tbe dear old home
stead, where generation alter genera
tion have lived and diod. Tbe great
elms still stretch tboir giant arms over
tbo moss grown roof as in timos gone
by ; tho lilao blooms beneath tho win
dow, tho old wall still marks tho garden
plot, the old well is still there from
wbicb was drawn oy tne "Oiu ouuon
bucket" the cool, sparkling water ; the
whito cottage rose, so highly prized by
the sainted mothor, has paused away,
as bas many another cherished objoct
but tboir swoot memories (till linger.
Time has wrought many changes. V oic
es once full of joy and gladness bave
ceased to be heard on earth, and are
now swelling tho glad anthora of praise
in heaven. Silent and deserted are the
rooms of tbe old bouse; over the thresh
old comes not tho footfall as of yoro.
The henrts tbat once beat high with
hope, tbe voices that were tilled with
kind, loving words and tender expres
sion ol sympathy, are silent forever
here.
Tbere ne'er stale the host's eoortrial relee
Shell bid with eerdlal greetings to rejoiee.
nor eerelBl noaeewiro a kindly proffered board
Bo spent to tompt tbe trareler to ber boerd."
As we cross the threshold and enter
the now deserted rooms one after
another, we arc i 'minded of tho scenes
of tbo past ; of the joys and sorrows,
bopes and tears, these ancient walls
have witnessed. Hero has been brought
borne tho bride, leaving her own home
to share that of ber loving husband ;
hero children have been born and rear
ed ; her vows hav boon plighted and
fulfilled, and over its door step, now
worn and docayod, bos boon tak
en, fresh from the happy marriage
feast, a loving heart, that shed sunshine
in tbo old, to illuminate and make glad
tbe new borne a it may be on the dis
tant shores of heathen land. From tho
same portal bave issued tho mourners
bearing tenderly the darling taken by
the kind heavenly Father from the
arms of its loving mother to a blessed
bom in heaven, whore it shall be tree
from care and sorrow ; or the venera
ted father, with snowy locks, the dear
mother, brother, sister, each in their
turn called to pass through "the dark
valley of the shadow of death."
"But years knee alrjoa o'er Its threshold palled
The lonely, lingering footsteps of the last."
While many of those who onoe gave
life to tbe old homestead havo ceased
from their labors, and others have been
scattered far away from the place of
their birth, still the influences ot the
old home cease not tbeir mission. The
prayers of fuith that were daily offer
ed havo been, and are still being, an
swered ; thousands of hearts now silent
as well as many thousands more still
full of life, have testified and do testify
to tb blessed influence ot a Christian
borne. The joys of such a homo are a
forelasto of tbe joys that are in store
for those who love Christ. Dear homos
of our youth ; wbethor on the hillsides
or in the valleys, let us ever keep them
in remembrance, and so live tbat when
wo are called to that new home in heav
en, we shall meet tbe loved ones wbo
have eons before, and with them attain
to such joys as this world has nover
koown,
HOUSE-CLEAJflA'O HINTS.
From the begining ot April to the
middle ot May is the legitimate house
cleaning season, when rooms have to
be dismantled and carpets taken up
in order to wago successful war against
the dust which for so many months
has been sitting into every crack and
orevice. It is an uncomfortable pro
cess for the whole family, and a speci
ally trying one for tbe housekeeper,
but nobody can deny tbo superior
sweetness and freshness, therefore com
fort,of houses tbat are thoroughly clean
ed once or twice a year over those
where "one room is taken at a time
at irregular intervals, as is the praclico
among many fumilies in thcso less rig
id housekeeping days, for ourselves,
infliction as it is, we strongly uphold
tho old plan, and to house-mistresses
about to nlungo into it we would re
oommend that before beginning Ibcy
have tb family tea leaves saved for a
week or two, as tbo lea water obtained
by steeping thorn is an excellent thing
for washing all varnished paint. Very
little rubbing is required, as tbo toa
aots as a strong detergent cleansing
the point from lis impurities and mak
ing the varnish shine again. It also
cleanses oil cloths and window sahes,
window panes and mirrors much better
than soap and water, and it Improves
black walnut pioture and looking-giass
frames. But it will not do to wash un
varnished paint with it. Whiting is
by far the be-it thing for cleansing
whito paint. I ako a small quantity oi
whiting on a damp flannel, rub it light
ly over th painted surface and the ef
fect will be surprising. Wall papers
may be made several sbados nearer the
original tint by swooping them down
with a broom, over which a clean soft
cloth has been tied, and then rubbing
them lightly witb stale broad. But the
latter part of the process is hardly
worth the trouble or tbe waste of tho
bread. Old feather beds, pillows and
bolster are greatly Improved by put
ting them on a green ki ahs plot and
beating them thoroughly for an hour or
so wilb long pliable sticks or runes,
turning them on evjry side. Blankets
bad better be washed in a warm soiu
lion of borax, and bodsteads in a strong
bnno. To drive away moths, wash
the floor round the sides of tho wall
with cayenne pepper tea, and sprinkle
salt jnsl at Ibe edge. Ironing tho edg

body of the same name as tbe man who
now wanted to settle. In July of tbe
same year tho hundred dollars was car
ried to profit and loss, and the account
closod, aflor somo ineffectual efforts to
recover tho money overpaid. Nothing
loth to reopen tbe account, the Cashier
took the $100 now offered, and then
inquired of tho man what hadinducod'
him to pay tho money after such a
lapse oi lime. Ho said he had a lew
days before been talking with tbo
Casbior of an up town bank, and hap
pened to mention the circumstance of
tbo overpayment to bim in isue, as an
evidenco that tho best of banks aro not
infallible. This Cashier then wanted
to kuow, very naturally, wby tho man
didn't pay tbo money, and he answered
that he meant to some day, but was
reminded that tbat was hardly the
right course. Being a Roman Catho
lic, and having recently experienced a
change of heart, so to speak, so that he
was more attentive to bis religious
duties, bis Cashier friend advised him
to lay it before his lather confessor.
r ollowing that advice ho was evidently
made to see that honesty was the best
policy, and so had gone bravely down
to tbe bank and cased bis conscience
returning tho money. St. Louis

DIED IN JAIL.
We hope to hear no maudlin sympa
thy expressed at tbe death of William
M. Tweed in a prison cell. Un tbe con
trary it is to be hoped that the publio
will accept its teachings as tho moBt
edifying and instructivo event in tho
recent administration ot justice. Tbo
maxim that one must speak nothing
but good of the dead is one of tbe most
immoral pieces of sentimentality that
over found favor among the virtuous
people It places the hero and martyr
upon the same level with the executed
felon. Tho true maxim should be speak
nothing but truth of the dosd : neither
to beelabber tho corse with fulsome lies,
nor deny to the moldoringdust its meed
of praise. A pure morality socks rath-.
or to draw tbe true losson from each
public life, whether that lesson be an
incentive to uu guou or warning
against evil.
The life of Tweed whon in the full
lido of its success, was the coarsest and
most insolent dufiunoe ot the principles
of fair dealing and honesty and good
faith upon which civilized society rests.
Ho plundored and robbed the people,
pel verted the powers of bis office to
lalten the greed of a vile set of sharp
ers that made common cause witb bim.
Ho bought men like cattle: he debauch
ed civil administration, subsidized the
fress, bought judges, Supreme courts,
,A(rtnlnttiri.fl hired acuta lawyers to
employ tbe very machinery of jtiBtice
to purpose ot peculation ana piea a
mountain load of debt upon Now York.
Tbe peoplo wbo knew of his crimes
wore for a while powerless to provent
tbem ; and he asked with a vulgar and
insolent chuckle ; "What are you going
to do about It 7" The sight ot this man
and "his ring" rolling in wealth and re
spected and defended in their career of
crime, was one of the worst lessons
over taught to a people. It bore bit
tor fruit. A large part of tbe recontly
discovered crimes and shames wore due
to his successful villainy, his debauch
ing example, and tbe strange degrada
tion of a publio sontimcnt that looked
on at it with amused indifference. Tho
robborics recontly brought to light of
insuranco companies and railroad com
panies, Savings banks and moneyed in
stitutions of all kinds wore, many of
them committed during the Twoed re-
gimo when a swindle was called a
transaction and a oownngiit inon a
financial operation" It was there
fore an Invigorating evidence of moral
ity and vitality whon an outraged so- .
cioty arose and drove bim and bis peo
ple out, forced somo of tbem to disgor-
go their plunder and put tho chief
swindlor in prison and kept bim there
until he died. 11 Tweed bad died at
his palatial residence in Now York the
most impressive losson of his life would
havo boon lost. It was well for bim to
have died in a felon's cell. Justice is
bettor than pity. llaltimore Gazette.
