beds on either side, a pair of summer-houses,
that in spring were pyramids of pink and white
bloom, and in autumn were aflame with scarlet
woodbine leaves and berries, and wide orchards
and gardens covering the slope in the rear.
Feeping over the paling, you saw that the grass
was well kept, the flower-beds bright, the walks
clean, the vegetables luxuriant, the apple trees
and grape vines well-trimmed and thrifty;
yon saw joyous pigeons fluttering and cooing
around a fanciful cote, and caught a glimpse in
the back yard of trimHondan bens and speckled
guinia-fowls flying up among the bending
stalks of chicken-corn and benny to feast on the
racy grain planted for their benefit. And it
might chance that yon would see a neat girl’s fig
ure in the seat under the ivied oaks, or under
the grape-arbor, busy with book, or work-basket,
or drawing, or else bounding lightly up the
steps, or at work with hoe or rake among the
flowers and strawberries, a garden-hat shading
the piquant face, and a pair of old gloves pro
tecting the hands.
Seeing all this, you would be apt to say,
“ This is a pretty home, land the occupants must
be nice and industrious people;” and you would
be surprised at the shrug and sneer that an

I young minds catch ideas and imbibe know

is a serious question. Plenty of food is spread

“ They did eat
But little meat,”
and that, though “ well-off,” they preferred to
do their own work. Other minor offenses were
alleged, snch (as the refusal j of the girls to
“ economize ” by cutting up calico and sewing it
together again to make qnilts; by knitting in
stead of buying their stockings, and their oddness
in wearing their print dresses plain, instead of
ruffling, knife-pleating ;and Anting the same,
nntil the wearer looked like a frizzled chicken.
The time thus saved from not doing in this re
spect “like other girls,” these “queer Robin
sons ” employed in reading, drawing, rambling
over the woods, working flower-beds, making
‘ ‘gim- cracks” such as hanging-baskets,and fancy
pieture-frames for the parlor, or in teaching
their young sister and brother.
“And such teaching!” says Miss Spratt, at
tempting to curl her inflexible snub nose.
“ Why they haven’t one particle of dignity, or
discipline;They don’t try to control Bob and
Lula; they act just as if teaching was playing,
and they let them children ask all manner of
questions about their lessons; and they actually
read stories to them and draw pictures, and tell
anecdotes to illustrate what they teach, so they
calljib But it’s all fudge; why don’t they give the
children a lesson and set them to memorize it,
and slap their jaws if they don’t? It’s because
they are too queer to do like other folks.”

No common sense. Robinson’s a clever
in consequence, hypocrisy, concealment, deceit
and bitterness are unknown. No jarring exam
ple has counteracted precept, and minds and
bodies have been judiciously nourished, not
crammed or unnaturally stimulated. Stay in
this house an hour, and you cannot fail to dis
cover about it some indication of the way in
which these beautiful young organisms have at
tained their present admirable development, of
mind, soul and body—those three interdepend
ent parts of our being, so closely related
that what affects one influences the others ;
so that the bath-room here in the house of
the Robinsons is an agent of culture, as well
as the book-case yonder; and these maps, globes
and black-boards, as auxiliaries of development,
cannot be placed so high above those beds of
flowers, the glass bee-hive, the pretty aquarium,
the chessboard, the well-chosen engravings, the
piano and—the kitchen stove. You smile at the
climax, but it is because you have never looked
closely into the subtle relation of things—have
never, by the light of science, traced effects
through many windings to their intricate causes,
else you would see how the health, and conse
quently the happiness and morality, of families
depend in a great measure tfpon the cooking-
stove, or rather, the cook who performs upon it.
Much of the discord of life—the irritability,
discontent, craving for stimulants, morbid sus
picions and fancies, and sins of darker dye,
are rightly laid at the door of Dyspepsia—
a fiend born chiefly of wrong food and bad
cooking. You will not find him lurking in
the sunny, clean, wholesome kitchen of “those
queer Robinsons,” where Kate and Clara cook
the meals with their own pretty hands, prepar
ing the food according to the rules of chemistry
and good sense, carefully preserving the nutri
tive qualities, and thus “ economizing” in the
best sense. You will find them with sleeves
rolled back from their plump wrists, “ dishing”
the mealiest potatoes and baked beans, the
snowiest rice, the'sweetest “brown bread,” the
lightest buckwheat cakes, the juciest broiled
steak, or mutton chop, the most fragrant baked
apples and pears from their own cellar. These,
with stewed fruits, 1 rich milk and butter,
and cream, fresh eggs, porched so that the yolks
just blush through the delicate white, consti
tute the meal. And it is set in a manner provoca
tive of appetite and good digestion. A pleasant
dining room, with green shades, fruit pictures
on the the tinted walls, a table bright with its
snowy cloth, clean, white crockery, sparkling
glass, and centre vase—ehina or glass—holding
some cheerful sprigs of green, or a bunch of
flowers. Here, the “queer Robinsons” sit and
eat with wholesome appetites, chatting cheer
ily, and practicing the rules of table politeness
that folks less “queer” usually folded away with
the best damask napkins and kept for company.
And while they take their food in this pleas
ant way, and “good digestion waits on appetite,
and health on both,” their neighbors the

appeal to the lower instincts of the youth, make
him cruel, hard-hekrted and wickedly knowing,
and lower his ideal off manhood, so that he would
rather figure as an If dian-slayer or a fascinating
buccaneer, a TexaS Jack, er Buffalo Bill, than
to be a useful and respectable citizen.
“ Must, then, the literature for youth hayeall
the racy taste taken out of it, and be left as in
sipid as blanc manga? asks some pair of red lips,
with a pretty pout of disapproval. Not by any
means. We would^have youth’s literature,
merry as well as wise; gay, grotesque and ten
der, like the stories of dear Hans Anderson;
spiced with adventure, flavored with fun, dashed
with romance and chivalry, and with the charm
of sporting, hunting, and all out-door games
that are good for physical exercise and harmless
recreation. Even knowledge should wear at
tractive colors, and l^istory and science come
upon the scene clothed in anecdote and illustra
tion. $
“Nor would we exclude the Winged-god from
oar youth’s literature. But it should do its
“spiriting gently.” Young love is pare and
beautiful. Often it stimulates a noble ambi
tion, proves a tailsmatfmgainst vice and a pro-
m oter of virtue. Moreover, love is something
which surely hides, like a subtle perfume in
every budding heart. Jt is there, and we can
not help it, why not refine its quality by pure
and tender, or chivalro^j.and romantic concep
tions, such as we may convey through the
medium of song and story?
“It will be seen that we give a wide scope to
literature for the young. All that wo stipulate
is that it should be heaDyhy, pure and strong,
untainted by sentimentalism, unspotted by
what is called “knowledge of the world,” by
hardening pictures of vice and cunning, or by
brutalizing details of bloody fights, robberies
and murders—details, whose effects are to fos
ter the cruel instincts of revenge and combative
ness, and retard the wished-for era of brotherly
kindness and good will, when the intellectual
part of man, shall hold in/yfirb his animal in
stincts ; when “standing armies” shall cease to
be expensive standing nuisances ; when peace
and plenty shall crown the land and
‘The drum shall throb no longer, the battle
flag be furled.’”
A Georgia State Convention.—The Georgia
Legislature has at last passed a bill calling for a
State Convention in Atlanta on the 2d Wednesday
in July, to revise the Constitution of the Slate.
The bill submits the matter to the people and they
are to vote on it on the 2d Tuesday in June. The
ballots for delegates are to have the words “Con
vention’’ or “No Conventio I-’^jjatten or printed on
them, and if a majority vote for convention the
Governor is directed to call the delegates together
on the 2d Wednesday in July, otherwise he will
make proclamation that there will be no Conven

the expenses of the Convention.
lands and uncultured as his cattle, with no in
terests outside the care to make enough to eat
and wear. Horace Greeley says o f such a life:
“An American boy who has received a fair
common school education, and has an active,
inquiring mind, does not willingly consent
merely to drive oxen and hold the plow forever.
He will do these with alacrity if they come in
his way; he will not accept them as the be-all
and end-all of his career. He will not sit down
in a rude, slovenly, naked home, devoid of
flowers, and trees, and books, and periodicals,
and intelligent, inspiring, refining conversation,
and there plod through a life of drudgery as
hopeless and cheerless as any mule’s. He has
needs, and hopes, and aspirations which this
life does not and ought not to satisfy. This
might have served his progenitor in the ninth
century; but this is the nineteenth, and the
Young American knows it.”
It is not necessary that a farmer should be
rude, uncultivated and of no intellect, when be
has chances for study and improvement which
warm air is brought in contact with the 20,000
square inches of the lungs—essential features of
the Turkish bath, to which its comfort, safety and
efficacy are mainly due.
Encouraged by the success he has had, he has
fitted up elegant separate rooms for ladies, where
they can, at all hours of the day, enjoy the de
lightful luxury and health-giving action of this
bath free from interruption or exposure, under the
supervision of Mrs. Dr. Wilson.
He has also added the Roman bath, recently in
troduced into this country. This is a specially
prepared lubricating unguent used after the Turk
ish Water or Shampoo Bath, to smooth and polish
the skin, and to remove any roughness or abra
sion, giving a velvety softness to the roseate bloom
brought out by the Turkish bath.
These baths are becoming very popular with
our ladies, and now that spring is coming on, Dr.
Wilson’s deiightful rooms will be the favorite re
sort of those seeking health, pleasure and beauty.
No more delightful place could be found. Here
they will find everyihing neat, clean, quiet, se

A Valuable Invention.—We see that our old
friends, Captains Rhodes & Frank Holden, are
interesting the public in a new and cheap in
vention for running a gin with one mule or
horse. It is attracting considerable attention
and is no doubt a valuable invention. We know
the men, and feel safe in commending anything
in that line which they would recommend.
But we beg their closest attention to the one
unfortunate fact, that in this poverty stricken
and utilitarian age, people are prone to throw
the labor of two or four men on one, and of
two, four or six horses or mules on “ one little
mule.” Parties interested would, no doubt, do
well to correspond with those clever gentlemen

Our. Hamilton. —We were truly delighted a
few days since, to welcome our genial and dis
tinguished co-laborer, Dr. Hamilton, back to the
sanctum, from his wide and successful tour
through Virginia, Maryland and the District of
Columbia, in behalf of our Sunny South. He
comes like a conquering hero, with his laurels
thick upon him, and brings the most grateful
remembrances of the universal kindness and
respect shown him everywhere on his line of
march. He is a whole team and never fails to
infuse a healthy quota of his own earnest en
thusiasm into the community which he visits,
and as a result adds hundreds of good names to
his long lists of personal friends and patrons of
our Sunny South. He is a noble worker, and
desires us to say to all his agents that he is
much disappointed at not finding large reports
from them in the office here, and hopes wo
shall soon hear good things from all of them.
He is now aiding us most materially in the
sanctum, and in a few days will besiege Ala
bama and Mississippi with his irresistible bat
teries, and all the good people of those States
will have to surrender en masse. The Doctor
is an earnest, genial and irresistible worker in
any department and knows no such word as
fail.
Gus Hulsey.—We were deeply pained on Sab
bath last by the intelligence of the death of this
pure and noble young man, a son of our highly
esteemed fellow-citizen, Judge E. H. Hulsey, of
this city. He expired in Augusta, Ga., where he
had gone with a lingering hope of benefit from
the climate, but his remains were brought to our
city cemetery for interment. He was universally
esteemed in all the relations of life and was truly
noble and gifted. A beautiful and impressive dis
course was delivered in the Central Presbyterian
church to a very large audience, by his beloved
pastor, the Rev. Mr. Leftwitch, after which his
remains were deposited in Oakland cemetery.
