Ar.9 f ig the. more. tomdy and post es,
emi - t.44 apecmplisbineets :of a young wo
pap is thet of housewifery. There are,
pinny things at the present day to inter
fere with its Acquisition, but the fact that
it is essential sherto lead you to -subor
dinate to it"those Which are not. We
hear a great deal about the laziness of the
present generation of girls. I think the'
accusation is unjust. Girls who acquire
really good education now, accomplish
;mph Wove genuine hard work than those
ip !the good old times,' who only learned,
to read and write, and occupied most of
their time in the kitchen and the dairy.
Nething that can be, called education can
be achieved withogt great labor; and in
my (minion, the principal reasee why
goad housewifery is so much neglected,
ps an accomplishment, is, that the time is
go "mush eecupied in study. Laziness isi
very apt to come with wealth, and there'
Ere undoubtedly a great many more lazy
girls now than fifty yeS,rs ago. They are
pertainty a very undesirable article to have
eheut, and I pity the poor fellow who gets
Rue of them for a companion; but I say
paudidly that I do not think there are
more naturally lazy girls in the world
than usual.

• You expect, one of these days, tIY be
the mistress of a house. Your comfort
and happiness, and the comfort and hap-1
piness of your husband, will depend very ,
lunch upon pig ability to order that
house well. If your emnpanion be in• hum
tile circumstances, you will very likely be,
obliged to do the most of your work your-I
self. In , this case thorough knowledge
0, and taste for, housewifery will be very
peeessary to you. • If you marry a man
pf, competence or wealth, a knowledge of
good housewifery is quite as essential to
you es if you were required to do your
own work. The expenses of your house
will be large or small, as you area good i
en a bad housekeeper. If you do not i
know how to do the work of the hogs° ;1
if you have no practical knowledge of all
. the offices and economies of an establish
agent, you will be dependent. So far from
being the mistress of your house, you will
be only its guest. Your serveuts will'
circumvent you, they will cheat you, they,
will make you miserable. If they do not
perform their work properly, through
willfulness or ignorance, you cannot tell!
them better. You will scold them for I
things which you cannot tell them how to
mend; you will be unjust, and yen, will
pot keep them. Many a really good set.-1
leant is constantly suffering from grieV
prices growing directly from the ignorance
pf her unatress. Unless you are willing
to-take up for life with a boarding house
place for people to vegetate in—you
must be a good housewife. It . matters
pot whether you are rich or poor. You
peed a practical knowledge of cookery, ofi
the laundry, of the prices and qualities'.
of provisions, of chamber work—of eve-'
',thing that enters into the details of
borne life.
,Qf course, if yoa have no mother who
is- capable of teaching you these things,
you are in a measure excusable for not
learning them..° I pity a family of girls
whose mother is !:a know-nothing and a
do-nothing. Ido not blame girls for not
wishing to put themselves under the tui- '
tion of the cook and the maid-of-all-work.
But even when you find yourselves under
-disadvantages like, these, you cannot af
ford to become a woman without knowiug
pomething of the homely utilities of life.
Your own aptness of mind—your own
good sense and ready ingenuity—will
give you a clue to the mysteries which
metre° *ill ultimately make plain. Your
comfort, your independence, your reputa
tion, your husband's respect for you,
de-
doend co much upon your ability to keep
use well that I cannot leave the sub-1
feet without insisting upon the import -1
pace of your learning to do it while you'
have a chance. There are few higher'
compliments that can be paid to a young
Inman, than that she is an excellent
;louse-keeper.- There is no reputation
which will more, thoroughly tend to eon- I
firma young woman in the esteem oft
hyottng men, or more forcibly commendj
er, to their esteem than that of being
acquainted, practically, with the - detail
Of the kitchen and economies of house
keeping. ,
This
of
introduces me to a dis
ct:ission Of the benefits of physical indus
try, and the assumption of regular house
hold duties. There is uo better relief to
Study• than the regular performance of
ppecial duties in the house. To feel that
pne is really doing something every day,
that the 'muse is_the tidier for one's ef
forts, and flits comfort of the family en
hanced;is the 'surest warrant of content
and oheerfulneas.
.There is something
,a' !Nut this lOW of daily : work--this reg
ilitar Performance of duty—which tends
,to regnlate the passiges, to: give ca l mness
lend vigor to the mind, to impart a healthy
;Pone to the'hody, and to diminish the de
ah-n for life in the street, * and for resort
to. gosaipping, companions, Were las

wonlati r -helpless from any other cause
ste#B rs a aentialt t y s nuisance:
There is nothing 'Womanly and ladylihe
in, helplessness; - My-policy wOulti=be, .as
-girls grow up, tb_assigu.ta them special
duties, firstin.ono part of house; then
in another, nntill they shOld - become ac
quainted with all the houSPwifely-oiftees;
and I should Jaye an object iu this be
yond the simple 'acquisition of a,l noll
edge of housewifery.. It' should be .for,
the acquisition of habits' of physical in
dustry—,of habits that conduce to . the
health of body and mitnli--of habits that
give them au insight into the nature of
labor, a i ud inspire within 'them a genuine
sympathy with those whose lot it is to
labor.
All young mind is uneasy, if it is good
for anything. There is of the genuine ,
human 1 stuff in a girl w ci. is habitually .
and by naturepoisive, placid and inactive.
The body and the mind niust both be in
motion: If this; tendency to activity be
left to run 'lotiseutidirected into chan
nels of 'usefuluess—a . 'spoiled child is' the'
result. i A girl growing up to womanhood,
is, when unemployed, habitually uneasy.
The mind Itches and chafes because it
wants action, fora motive. Now a mind
in this condition is not. benefitted by the
command to stay at horhe, or the :with
drawal from companions.' It must be set
to trork. This vital enemy that is strug
gling to find relief, in! demonstration,
should he so directed that habits may be
formed-=- habits Of 'industry that obviate
the wish for change and Unnecessary play,
and form a regular drain upon it, Oth
erwise, the . Mind becomes dissipated, the
will irresolute, and conariement irksome.
Girls will never be happy, except in the
company of. their plOymates, unless home
becomes to them a scene of regular duty,
and personal usefulness,
.There iO.atioth
er obvious advantage to be derived from
the habit of engagin7 daily upon.special
household duties.. '''The . imagination of
girls is apt to become active to an un
healthy dearee, when no corrective is
employed. False views of life are engen
dered, and labor is regarded as menial.—
ease cornea- to he looked upon as a su
premely desirable . thing, so that when
the real, unavoidable cares of life come,
there is to preparation ;for them, and
weak . complainings, or ill-natured discon
tent are the result,- . .
And here' I am naturally introduced
to another subject, Young woman, the
I glory of your life is to do something and
Ito be something. Yiau very possibly ma
have formed the idea that ease and per
!sonal enjoyment arc the ends of.yourlife.
This is a terrible mistake. Development,
in the broadest sense, and in the highest
direction, is the end of your life. You
may possibly find ease with it, and a
I dneat deal of precious personal enjoyment,
or your life may be one long experience
of self-denial. If you wish to be some-
I thing more than the pet and plaything,
of a wan ; if you ;would rise above the po
sition of a pretty toy, .or the ornamental
1 fixture of an establishment, you have got
a work, to do. You have got a position
to maintain iu society; You have got the
I poor and the siok to visit; you may pos
sibly-have a fatuity, to rear and train ; you
have got to take a load of care upon your
, shoulders and bear it through life. You
have got a character to sustain; and I
I hope you will have the heart of a husband
to cheer and strengthen yon. • Ease is not
tiff you. ' Selfish enjoyment is not for
I you, The world is to be made better by
I you. You have got te suffer and to work
land if the're be a spark of the true fire in
you, -your hearts trill respond to these
words. - The time will come when you
shall see that all your toil and care your
pain acid sorrow and practical sympathy
fur others has built you up into a strength
of'.womanhood which will iespise ease as
':,n end of lite, and pity those who are!
•
content with. it. Get this idea that your
great business is simply to live at ease,
I got of your head at once. There is uoth
ing noble and ennobling in it. Your
mental and physical powers can only give
you worthy happiness in the using. They
were made for use; and a lazy woman is
inevitably miserable.. Ido not put this
matter of enjuytnent" before you as the
motive for action. I simply state the
fact that it is the result, of action—an in
cident of a life worthily, spent.
When you hare properly comprehended and
received this idea, the recreation of life and
the pleasures of social intercourse will take
- their appropriate positions with relation to the
business of life- r its staple duties. Recreation
will become recreation—simply the renewal of
your powers, that they may all the better per
form the work which you, have undertaken, or
which circumstances have devolved upon you.
Social pleasures will rise. into a sympathetic
communion with natures lives earnest to your
hearts, and it will give yob strength and guid..
once. The pleasures of life will become the
wells, scattered along the way, where you lay
down your burdens for the moment, wipe your
brows, and driuk, that you may go into the
work before you, refreshed in body and mind.
In these quiet hours, you will feel a healthy
thrill of happiness which those who seek plea
sure for its own,sake never know. There are
few objects in this World more repulsive to ma
than a selfish woman—a woman who selfishly
consults her own enjoyments, her own ease,
her own pleasure, tlf yen; have the slightest
desire" to be loved ; ;if you would have your
presence-a welcomti one in palace and cottage
alike; if you would adMired, respected, re
vered'; if you Would have all sweet human
sympathies clustering around you while you
live, and the tears of a multittide of friends
shed upon your grave when you die, you must
be a working -woman—living and working for
others, and building up for yourself a charac
ter, strong, symmetrical, hsautifel, If I were
yiou, I would rather fie that insensate and qui
etly gliding Andel* which' the wounded sol- .
Bier kissed as the noble Florence Nightengale
passed his weary pillow, than the pampered
creature of liatity p wlio has no thought above
her personal ease ankfpersonal adornment.
Do not 'se* ottt par yourselves any promi
nent field of service, where you will attract
the attention of the world. Remain where

I would be the last one to casts shadowon
your brow's, but I would undeceive you at the
first, so that you - May begin life with right
ideas. Life is a real and earnest - thing.. It
has homely details, painful passages, and a
crown of mire fu- every brow. I seek to in
spire you with a wish and a will to meet it
with a womanly spirit. I seek to point you to
its nobler meanings and• its higher results.

invested it Will all fall off itself, so soon as yoit

Tap BLUE STOCEING.—ThIs term. Is applied
to a lady of some literaty taste. Mills, in- his
" History of Chivalry," traces it to the Society
de la Colza, formed at Venice in 1400. The
members, at their meetings. were distinguish
ed tty the colors of their stockings, which at
times were fantastically blended; and some
times one color, particularly blue, prevailed.
N la Colza lasted until 1590, when Italian
literature took some other symbol. Then the
rejected title crossed the Alps, finding a con
genial soil in Parisian society, and particu
larly branded female pedantry. Next it di
viverted from Prence.to England, marking for
a while the vanity of smallscholaralkiP in fe
male coteries. The blue stocking of the last.
century, however, is of English growth. Bos
well, in his "Life of J4ilinson," (1781,) record-a
the origin of the Blue-stocking Clubs "One
of the most eminent member of these societies,
when they first commenced, was Mr. Stillinga
fleet, (grandson of the Bishop,) whose dress
was remarkably grave ; and inl:Articular it
was observed that he word blue stockings.—
Such was the excellence of - his conversation,
that his absence was felt so great a loss that it
used to be said,. 'We can do nothing without
the Mai strecitiv e and albs, degrees, the
title was established."
Miss Hannah More-has admirably described
a Blue stocking. Club in her "alas-Blue." The
last of this club was the lively Miss Moncton,
(afterwards Countess of Cork,) Who used to.
have the finest hit of blue at the house of her
mother, Lady Galway, In the early Greek
comedy of the "Banquet of Plutarch," there is
a specimen of a Blue-stocking or "Bas-Blue."
Y. Eve Post.
.11cAmir or Sori..--A boy with his sled, in
coasting down bill, ran against a lady's dress
and damaged it. Springing to his feet, he ex
pressed his regret fur• ilko .accident, when the
lady kindly remarked :
" There is no great harm done, my boy ; you
feel worse about it than I do "
" But your dress is ruined," said the lac};
"I supposed you would be very angry."
"Better have a spoiled dress than a ruffled
temper," the lady replied ; and as she passed
on, the boy exclaimed to his companions ;
" Isn't she a beauty? "
"Call her a beauty?" said ono of them;
" she's more than forty, and got wrinkles."
"I don't care for that," retorted the lad;
"her soul is handsome, anyhow."
A ROMANTIC lICRCLAR.—Thieves of the
Claude Duval and Paul Clifford school are
gradually becoming "played out," hut taxa-.
sionally we hear of one. For instance, a gen
tleman of this order entered the house of Wil
liam Eciltols, Esq., Huntsville, Ala., and not
ending any money, he scorned all such trifles
as watches. &c., and contented himself with
stealing a ring from. the finger of a sleeping
young lady.
IT Ist Said that a man marrying now-a-days,
gets n great deal more than he, bargained for.
Ile not only weds a woman but i, laboratory of
prepared chalk, a quintle of Whalebone, light
coffee-bags, four baskets of novels, one poodle
dog, and a system of weak nerves, that will
keep four servants and three doctors ar , saud
your house.
ONE of the newspapers inquires, with much
seeming innocence, if it is any harm to sit in
the lap of ages? Somebody . answera that it
probably depends on the kinds of ages selected
—those from eighteen to twenty-five being
ratheehasardous.
"Wu have the most religions hens that ever
you saw," said a little girl. "They never
drink the least drop of water without looking
up to the sky between every swallow. I sup
pose they thank God. I am sure such hens
are an example to us all."
CRILISTIANITY, said the eloquent Chapin, in
a recent lecture at Boston, teaches us that
woman has a soul ; but a good many men act
as if they had not accepted the evidence, and
a goad many women as if they had none to
offer.

for the restoration of health. To be-able to.
state confidently that Consumption is curable
by inhalation, is to tue a source of unalloyed
pleasure. ,It is -as much under the control of
medical treatment us any Other formidable
disease; ninety -out of every' hundred • cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per
cent.-in the second; but in the third stage it
is impossible to save more than five per cent.,
for the Lungs are so cut up by the disease as
to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, how
ever, in the last stages, Inhalation affords ei
-traordinary relief to the . 'inffering attending
this fearful scourge, Avhich:annually destroys
ninety-five thousand . persons in the United
States alone; and a correct calculation showS

Truly the quiver of death has no arrow•so
fatal as Cnnsimaption. In nli ages it has been
the great enemy of. life, for it spares . neither
age nor sex, .but sweeps off alike the brave, I
tha beautiful, the grneeful and the gifted. By
the help of that Supreme Being from whom I
cometh every good and perfect gift, I am en
ahbled to offer to the afflicted a permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first
cause of tubercles is front impure blood, and
the immediate effect produced - by their depo
sition in the lungs is to prevent the free ad
mission ef air into the air .cells, which causes '.
a Weakened vitality through the entire system.
Then surely it is more rational to expect great
er
good from medicines entering the cavities
of the lungs than from those administered
throngh the Stomach ; the patient will always
find the lungs free and the brenthing easy, af
ter Inhaling remedies. Thu, Inhalation is a
local, remedy, nevertheless it nets constitution
ally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To
praVe the powerful and preet influence of this
this mode of administration, chloroform
inhaled will entirely deStroy sensibility in a
few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous
system, so that a limb may be amputated with
out the slightest pain;' Inhaling the ordinary
burning as will destroy life in a few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead. The
odor ofmany of the medicines is perceptible
in the skin a fete minutesafter being inhaled,
and may be immediately deteotetl in the blood.
A convincing proof of the constitutional effects
of inhalation, is the fact that sickness Is
ttl
ways produced by breathing foul air , —is not
this positive evidence that prayer remedies,
carefully prepared and judiciously adraiois..
tercd through the lungs should produce the
happiest results? During eighteen years' .
practice, many thousands suffering from dis
eases of the lungs and throat, have been un
der my care, and I have effected many remark
able cures, even after the- sufferers had been
pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat
isfies me that consumption is no longer a fatal
disease. My treatment of consumption is
original, and founded on long
,experience and
a thorough' investigation. My perfect acquain
tance with the nature of tubercles, &c.,
ena
bles me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption,
and apply the proper remedies, rarely being
mistaken even in a single case. This famil
iarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to re
lieve the hulas from the effects of contracted
chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the blood,
I impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy
and tone to the entire system.

But the cure would be more certain if the
patient should pay me a visit, which would

and enable me to prescribe with much greater
certainty, and then the cure could be .effectcil
without My seeing the patient again.

Diseases are the greatest enemies.to health, as,.
they are the first cause of Consumption; Sirof

terror to the human family,. As a permanent
; cure is scarcely ever effected, a majcwity elf the
cases falling into 'rile' haials of incompetent
persons, who not only full to-cure the iliscasps
but ruin the constitution, - filling the system
with mercury, which; with the disesso, ltd.

• But should the disease and the treatment
kot cause death speedily and the victim Mar

who are born with feeble constitutions, and .

' SELF ABUSE is qtother formidable enemy
to health, for nothing-else in the dread cata
logue of human diseases causes so destructive
a drain upon the system, drawing its thousands
of victims thruur,li a few years of suffering
down to an untimely; grave. It destroys the
Nervous system, raplffly wastes away the en
ergies of 'life, causes mental derangement,
prevents the proper development of the system,
disqualifies - for marriage, society, business''
