the child obeyed; and Samson stood
Daning his form against a stately shaft.
Twin but an instant, and he grasped
With right hand and with left
The pillars twain, and bowed bis head.
\ shock like thunder rocked the walls around;
The festal throng rushed staggering to their feet,
Their pale lips wide apart, and staring eyes;
Co pa I, II from hands unnerved with wine and fear,
And lie. the ruiocr of the feast, stood np

No voice gave back applause.
Again tho strongman bowed,
Ilia feet took bold upon the shaking earth
Like driven bolts, his broad back bent,
And shapeless, from the muscle's strain,
His arms encircling each, a lofty shall.
Like twining boa's round the forest oaks;
A silence followed, like the hush of storms
Then, with a crash—
That startled Israel, wondering, from their tents—
The pile came down.
Trees, leagues away, swayed to and fro
And shook their leaves as if a tempest stirred:
Clouds high in air, lifted and bellied out
Like sails in gusty winds;
And from tbe ruins rose a thick, black dost,
That slowly dragged its massive folds away
Across the western hills.
!Hr. Brown’s East Ascent.
ABRIIKIKD FROM AN ENGLISH EDITION.
One fine summer morning, a few years since,
them was a wonderful excitement in the Tillage
of ILtUydooley. All the men, women and children
in the neighborhood were assembled on tbe large
level common which served as a rucc-coursc and
bo* ling-green, and all thronged towards some ob
ject in the centre, which formed the nucleus of the
crowd.
•is it tied to tho tail of it he’s going to go up!”
uked one.
“Ah! don’t be foolish!” exclaimed an old man,
don’t you see the long ropes he’s going to hold ou
by!"
Kor some time the process of inflating the bal
loon had been going on; and now the great gaily
tainted orb towered trembling above the heads
of the spectators, and pressing against tho cords
by which it was held down, it seemed only to await
the arrival of the urouaut to dart upwards on its
lay.
"Here lie is!” exclaimed the outward stragglers
of the crowd; and presently a carriage drew up,
and out stepped Mr. Brown, the English million-
fire. Mr. Brown was* little dapper man—one of
tlo«c unlucky individuals who meet an accident at
every turn—who, on entering a room, slip, tumble,
or tit down beside their chair instead of upon it.
lie seldom escaped upsetting his ink stand; send
ing his meat and drink the ‘wrong way,’ and then
coughing and choking for half an hour; cutting his
Sagers, tearing his coat, or knocking his forehead
*gfinst the door, so that he rarely appeared in
society without scars or bandages. In practicing
gvc&iastics, he had knocked out three teeth; in
yachting at fowes, ho hod been three times nearly
drowned; in shooting in Scotland, had left the
grouse unharmed, but bad blown ofT two of his
Lagers. A taste for pyrotechny had singed his
eyebrows and whiskers; and as to railway trav-
vi'ug, his hairbreadth ’scapes and moving acci-
hats would have served to fill two or three
Undsonrc volumes of the English Railway Libra-
ry.
At length, having tried the elements of earth
«»ter and fire, it occurred to Mr. Brown that tho
remaining one of air might bo more agreeable,
tad could not be more perilous than the others.
He accordingly, the year before, when residing
his estate in Devonshire, had purchased a bal-
■aon, and strange to say, had made several as-
ccats, and had come down again in perfect safe-
! . r - On this occasion he meditated a flight over
tie Green Isle, and intended to como down at Bel
fast.
A London friend, who had come to Ireland on
i fishing excursion, had promised to join Mr.
“town in his flight; but, as it would seem, his
courage failed, and lie came not. In nowise dis
couraged, however, Mr. Brown was just about to
•Nft into Ids serial car, when a tall, strong]y built
»an stepped forward, and politely saluting the
•tonaot, said:
"May I ask you a question, sir?”
“Certainly." -
"I*It true that you are going to America!”
*‘h"o: merely to Belfast, weather permitting.
“Belfast,” repeated the stranger in an amusing
utAauer—“the north of Ireland. Well, that is just
tl * direction I want to go. Will you, air, accept
sic as a companion ?”
Mr. Brown merely remarked to tho stranger,
“that his costume seemed too light for the regions
'“*1 vcould have to traverse.”
"Bah !• was tho reply. “I have passed through
‘tore changes of climate than that, and am happily
Vfr ? robust.”
.“Well” said Mr. Brown, looking at tho mas-
* 1T v frame of the unknown, “my car islarge enough,
tome, i n t he name of Providence!” So they
! «k their places, and the word was given, “Let
Sol”
The fifteen men whose hands were severely
Pccsaed by the straining cords desired nothing bet*
,<r : and in a moment tbe balloon began to ascend
““JMfically. The crowd shouted and clapped their

■°w at a great elevation—clouds Isy beneath their
feet, above their heads a burning sun, and infinite
space around.
Suddenly the stranger stood upright, his face
pallid as a corpse. “Faster! faster! he exclaim
ed in a tone of authority; and;seizing in suc
cession three of the bags of sand which served as
ballast, he flung them out, at tbe same time laughing
in a wild manner. “Ha!” he cried, “that’s the way
to travel! We shall tower far above the eagle.
When I was in the Abruzzi with my rifle in my hand,
watching for stray travellers, I never felt so excited
as now. Then their lives were in danger, now it is
my own,”
Very pleasant! thought Mr. Brown. I have
picked up some rascally brigand.
“Better to fight with the elements than with cus
tom-house officers!” continued his companion. The
balloon ascended at a terrific rate. In his turn, Mr.
Brown stood up, and laying his hand on tho stran-
f er’sann, said: “Heaven’s sake don’t stir! Our
ves are at stake. I must allow some of the gas to
escape.”
“How do you do it ?’’
“I have only to draw this string.”
“And if you had not this resource ?”
“We should continue to ascend, until everything
would burst.”
The man continued for a few moments in thought;
then suddenly drawing out a knife, he cut the cord
aa high up os he could reach. “Faster!” he rei
terated. The stranger was a giant compared with
Mr. Brown, who perceiving that he could gain
nothing by force, began to try conciliation. “Sir,”
said he, in a soothing tone, “you are a Christian,
I make no doubt. Well, our religion forbids homi
cide!”
“Paster !” shouted the giant; and seizing the re
maining sacks of sand, he scattered their contents
to the clouds.
Mr. Brown fell on his knees. “Ah!” he ex
claimed, “if you have no regard for your own
life, at least have some pity on .mine. I have a
mother and sister; in their name, I conjure you
to raise your hand to the valve, and save us from
a dreadful death, by allowing some of the gas to es
cape.”
The stranger drew off his coat and exclaiming,
“we are not ascending!” flung it out. “Your turn
now!” he continued, and without the smallest cere
mony, he despoiled the unfortunate Brown of his
paletot, and threw it over. The balloon pursued
its wild career.
“Ha 1 ha!” said the stranger; “while we’re thus
climbing so pleasantly towards the sky, I’ll tell you
a story.” His companion did not stir. Already,
from the rarity of tho air, the blood was starting
from his nose and ears. “Listen! three years ago
I lived in Madrid. I was u widower, with one lit
tle daughter, a gentle angel; her long hair is war
ing this moment before my eyes. One day I went
out early,and did not return until late; my child, my
beautiful Emma, was gone; banditti hadVome, and
stolen her from me. But, my friend, have you a
cannon here ?” Brown made a sign in the nega
tive. “O, what a pity 1 I would have bombarded
Spain! Ever since, I have searched for my child
in every country of Europe, but in vain. Now I
think she may bo in tho North of Ireland. Have
you a lucifer match here ?” Mr. Brown made
no reply. “You have not? Ah! if I could get
one I would set the balloon on fire; and then,
when reduced to ashes, it would be much lighter!
V£ben you first saw roc this morning,{I was ex
amining the faces of tho crowd, to sec if the dork
foreign one of Emma’s robber might be amongst
them.”
It was evident to poor Mr. Brovn that his trave
ling companion was a confirmed lunatic. A sudden
idea struck him. “What is your name ?” he asked.
“Gerald Annealer.” “The very same!” “What do
you mean ?” “I know where the wretch lives who
stole your child; we are now just above the spot.
Draw the valve, Mr. Anncslcy, and in a short time
you will embrace your Emma 1”
“No, no, you are deceiving me. My Emma is
not on earth; she is in heaven. Last night she
appeared to me in a dream, and told me so. That’s
the reason I want to ascend higher and higher.
Come, my friend, help me; let us both blow as
hard as wc can on the balloon. As we arc beneath,
our breath must help it to rise. Mr. Brown tried
to obey.
“It does not stir! Come mount on my should
ers and push the balloon!” And without consult
ing him any further, the giant caught him up, os if
lie had been a feather, and held him above his head
saying—“Now push the balloon!” The unlucky
victim tried to obey, but tbe blood blinded his
eyes. There was a horrible buzzing, in his cars,
and lights flashed beforo him. For a moment, he
thought of throwing himself over, in order to end
his torments.
“Ha 1” shouted tho madman, “It docs not go!”
At the moment the trembling hand of Mr. Brown
touched accidentally the cord of the safety valve.
Ho made it play, and the collapsing orb began to
descend rapidly. Through the clondsit darted
downwards, and the earth re-appeared. “Ha!”
cried Anneslcy, “instead of pushing the balloon, as
I told you, you drew it downwards. Push up
wards !—push I say!” “You see that I am push
ing as hard as I can.” “No, for here is the earth!
“It is only that the clouds are rising towards the
upper regions!” Well, let us throw out all our
ballast.” “Wc have no more.”
Gerald Anncslcy laid Mr. Brown gently in the
bottom of the car. “ Wo have no more ballast
you say ?” “No more."
‘‘How much do you weigh !” The question ter
rified Mr. Brown.* “How much do you weigh!”
repeated the madman in louder voice.
“Not much—a mere trifle."
“A mere trifle!” Well, that will make some dif
ference.”
The imminence of the peril gave Mr. Brown pres-
ence of mind. “My friend,” said he, “your child-
is not dead. I saw - her last week. She is living
with a family who love her. In a very short
time if you will allow us to descend, you will
meet her." The madman looked at him with
a wild gaze. “Yes,” continued Brown, “you will
see her, your darling little Emma, running to
meet you, with her fair golden curls waving in the
wind.” .
“It is false! Emma’s hair was as black as jet!
Man! you never saw her! How much do you
weigh ?”
“Ah 1 a mere trifle—only a few pounds.”
Anncslcy seized him with both hands and held
him suspended over the side of the car. In an
other moment he would have dropped into the abyss
of spaec.
Anncsley l exclaimed Brown, “you want to
mount higher?”
“Yes 1 yes 1" “Your only wish is to lighten tho
balloon?" “Yes." “Then how much do you weigh
yourself?" “Two hundred pounds.”
“Well, if you were to throw yourself over, the
balloon lightened of such a great weight would dart
upwards with inconceivable rapidity.”
The madman reflected a moment. “True, he
said, “you are right.” He laid Mr. Brown in the
bottom of the car, and stared wildy around. “My
Maker 1" ho cried, “I go to meet Thee: I go tocm-
brace my child, m7 Emma!” And flinging himself
over, he disappeared.
The balloon and its owner reached tbo earth in
safety; the latter, however, lay for many weeks
raving in brain fever. When he recovered he gave
orders to have his perilous plaything sold at any
sacrifice, and soon alter provided himself with an
excellent care-taker in the shape of a pretty young
wife, under whose tutelage “the masthcr, ns his
Irish valet remarks, “is growing a dale more handy
in himself.”
So this was Brown’s last ascent to the clouds.
A curious case is now beforo’ one of the colored
churches at Buffalo. Two members—man and
wife—lived unhappily togtehcr. The husband
found his life so uncomfortable that he at last re
solved to take the benefit of the fugitive slave law.
Bis wife was a fugitive by the underground rau-
road, and be wished she had staid underground.
So ha wrote to her former master at the South, im
ploring him to come and take her back. This fact
leaked out, and tbe matter is now dividing and dis
tracting tho church.

The Cincinnati! Steam Fire En-
GINE.
The force attached to a first class engine
consists of a captain, lieutenant, engineer, fire
man, six pipe-men, two drivers and a watchman
—thirteen in all. No steam company has
more than this number, and of these only
portion give, and receive pay for, their whole
time. Four horses will drag the largest steam
engine. Two hosereels, each carrying one thou
sand feet of hose and drawn by a single horse,
arc included in the equipment of a first-class
engine. The horses are stabled in the engine
houses, and stand with their harness on night
and day.
The first public experiment with a steam fire-
engine in Cincinnati took place March 2,1852
A steam generator, which had been manufactur
ed for the purpose, was placed in connection w ith
a six inch steam cylinder of twenty-four inches
stroke, and a pump of an engine belonging to
the city, the whole mounted upon suitable
wheels and frame. From a Report made by
Committee appointed by tbe City Council to
watch the experiment, it appears that steam
was raised from cold water, the engine start
ed, and water discharged from the nozzle to
tbe distance of 130 foet through an inch pipe,
after passing through 350 feet of hose, in four
minutes and ten seconds from the time that
smoke was seen to issue from the chimney.
In consequence of the successful result of this
experiment the City Conncil contracted for t
steam-engine to be built on the same plan
This engine, tho “Uncle Joe Ross,” when
completed, was placed in service under the
charge of a company organized and put under
pay by the city. The other six steam-engines
alluded to as haring been in service on the 1st
of April last, are built on substantially the
same plan, and arc known as “Latta” engines-
from the name of the constructor.
A few months after the “ Joe Ross ” was
finished, the new organization of the Depart
ment went into effect. The project had been
previously discussed, and was doubtless facili
tated by the successful operation of the steam
machine. The “Latta” engines have been
frequently described, and their performances
have been witnessed In nearly all the principal
cities of the country. During the third year
of the new organization of the department, the
“Joe Ross,” during a trial before a Committee
sent from the City Conncil of Chicago, explo
ded, throwing the engineer sixty or seventy
feet in the air, and of course killing him.—
The accident was beyond doubt caused, in a
great measure, by extreme recklessness and a
not unnatnral desire to make a good display of
the powers of the engine. The “ Joe Ross
was subsequently repaired, and has since done
efficient service.
Since the last report of the Chief Engineer
the city has purchased two of these engines,
and put them into service. No new compa
nies have been formed, a conple of Latta’s
engines having been laid aside to make room
for them. The former machines, however,
are kept os a reserve, and can be brought into
immediate use in case of accident to any of the
engines in service, or on the occasion of an
unusually large fire.
It is an exciting spectacle to witness the
starting oat of a steam fire engine, especially
at night. The fuel to start the fire is always
arranged in the fife chamber ready for instant
ignition, and generally consist of sugar hogs
heads, finely split and laid crossways, mixed
with bituminous coal. A torch, saturated
with turpentine, is always kept in readiness
for use, and a gas light is continually burning
by the engine. At the first stroke of the
alarm bell the horses, of their own accord,
start from'their stalls and take their place, the
firemen light their lamps, the Engineer ignites
his torch and stands ready to apply it to the
kindling, and in an inconceivably short space
of time the horses, which, with the exception
of slipping off their headstalls, are never un
harnessed, are geared to the engines and hose
reels, and the drivers are in their seats ready
to run out. By this time on the “ look-out ”
the locality of the fire has; been discovered, a
second signal is given, the torch is applied,
the hose carriages dash into the street, and
tbe ponderous engine thunders after them—
from one to two minutes having elapsed since
the stroke of the alarm bell. A few minutes
more and a sufficient head of steam is on for
working tho machinery, and it very seldom
occurs that on engine is not throwing from one
to six streams upon the flames in less time
than it would have taken one of the old vol
unteer companies to have reached the scene of
the fire.
The entire Corporation of Cincinnati, cover
ing an area of about four miles east and west
by about two miles north and south, is de
pendent upon this organization for protection
against fire. Within these limits there were,
on the 1st of April last, in addition to a liberal
supply of fire-plugs, 139 cisterns, containing
from 600 to 1,500 barrels of water each.—
These cistflkns have been found very useful,
especially in cold weather. They servo to
economize the power of the engines at all
times, and are of immense benefit in prevent
ing the wear and tear of hose. In tbe latter
respect alone, it is considered that they very
soon repay the cost of construction, which has
been from $125 to $600 each, according to
capacity and workmanship.
In speaking of tho present Fire Department
of Cincinnati, one most significant fact should
not be overlooked. Not only a better service
is obtained than under the old organization,
bnt while the city has been rapidly and stca.’-
ily growing, fires are much leu frequent than
formerly. It is, perhaps,-unneccesary to add 1
that no consideration would induce the citizens
of Cincinnatti to return to the old system, and
that the present organization is the most uni
versally popular featurs of their municipal af
fairs.
Walled Lake in Iov/a.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
gives an account of a walled lake in Wright
county, Iowa. He says:
To me it was one of the greatest curiosities
I had ever seen—enveloped as its history is
with a mantle that will probably never be
withdrawn. This lake lies in the midst of a
vast plain—the rich, gently undulating prairie
extending for many miles in every direction.
The lake covers an area of about 1900 acres
The water is clear and cold, with a hard,
sandy bottom, from two to twenty-five feet
deep. There is a strip of timber about half
way round it, probably ten rods wide, being
the only timber in many miles. There is
wall of heavy stone all round it.
It is no’accidcntal matter. It has been built
with human hands. In some places the land
is higher than the lake, in which case the wall
only amounts to something like a -rip-rap pro
tection. But in other places the water is
higher in the lake than the prairie outside of
the wall. The wall in some places is ten feet
high; it is thirteen feet wide at the base, slop
ing np both sides to five feet wide on the top.
The wall is built entirely of boulders, from
three tuns in size down to fifty pounds. They
arc all what are called lost rock. I am no
geologist, and consequently can give no learn
ed description of them. They are not, how
ever, natives, “ to the manner born.” Nor
has the wall been made by the washing away
of tho earth, and leaving the rocks. There is
no native rock in this region. Besides, this is
continuous wall, two miles of which, at least, is
higher than the land. The 4 top of the wall is level
while the land is undulating-so the wall is in
some places two feet, and in other ten feet high.
These rocks, many of them at least, must have
been brought a long distance—probably five
or ten miles. In Wright county the best
rocks are scattered pretty freely, bat as you
approach this lake they disappear, showing
that they have been gathered by some agency
—when or by whom history will never unfold.
Some of the largest oaks in the grove are
growing up through the wall, pushing the
rocks in, in some cases, outside in others, ac
commodating their shape to the rocks. The
lakes abounds with excellent fish. The land
m that township yet belongs to the Govern
ment.
When I was there in the Spring of 1856 the
wind had blown a large piece of ice against the
south-west part of the wall and had knocked
it down, so that the water was running out and
flooding the farms of some of the settlers, and
they were about to repair the wall to protect
some of their crops. It is beautiful farm land
nearly all around this lovely lake.
The readers of the Gazette should not
imagine that the wall around this lake is as
regular and as nice as the wall around the
fountain in front of the City Hall in New York,
nor need any entertain the theory that it is a
natural wall; but it has been built hundreds
and probably thousands of years. The anti
quary may speculate by whom this mighty as
well as ornamental work was done, but it will
only be speculation.
Notwithstanding the water in the lake is
lure and cool, there is no visible feeder or out-
et. This is about twelve miles north of the
located line of the Dubuque and Pacific rail
road, and about one hundred and fifty miles
west of the former place. The time is coming
when the lake will be a great place of public
resort.
A Valuable Iuvcution, Perhaps
The Kalamazoo (Mich.) Gazette states that
Mr. E. It. Ball of that city, has recently dis
covered a mode of applying lever power, which
is destined to bring about an entire revolution
in the process of raising large bodies, by me
chanical means. The editor of the Gazette
saw a weight of 640 pounds raised by his ma
chine, by the strength of a single cotton thread,
and states that if the weight bad been ten times
as heavy, the result would have been the same.
This discovery consists in such an application
of proper machinery to heavy bodies, such as
locomotives, heavy castings, boats in dock
yards, and the like, as to procure a balance in
the object itself, then by rocking the body to
and fro on certain standards or studs, oonnec-
ted with the machine, wedges arc inserted with
each vibration,so that as the rocking goes on, the
wedges are constantly drawn in and the body
raised by its own motion. Mr. Ball’s con
struction of machinery for this purpose is very
simple, and at the same time entirely effica
cious ; so that one man can raise a locomotive
that gets thrown off the track with as much
ease and certainty as he could raise a bucket
of water with a windlass. So heavy pieces of
ore may be raised, canal boats, engines, and
boilers, and, in short, any compact and heavy
body to which the machine could be applied.
The Gazette concludes its article, by saying;
Wc think wc may safely say, that Mr. Ball
has made a discovery that will be of incalcula
ble utility in the mechanical world.
Correspondence of the Mercury
Washington, February 10th, 1858,
A number of false and perverted statements
having been circulated through the Black Re
publican presses of the North in relation to the
rencontre on Saturday morning last, on the
floor of the House, between Col. Eeitt, of S.
C., and Mr. Galusha A. Grow, of Penn., it is
due to that portion of the public who desire to
have the truth in preference to any partizan
statement, to narrate briefly the facts as they
actually occur red within the observation of close
and impartial witnesses. It appears that the
rencontre took place some time after two
’clock in the morning, when the temper and
even the physical endurance of the Honse had
been most severely tried by all sorts of dilato
ry motions and shams on the part of the Op
position. Gen. Quitman was submitting a
motion, which was afterwards carried, with
view of extricating the House from tho vex
atious entanglements and delays with which
the Opposition was seeking to embarras its
action, when Mr. Galusha Grow, who was pas
sing down the aisle, objected with considerable
tartness in his tone of voice, and in a manner
that was generally remarked as bong very
offensive. Col. Keitt, who, from fatigue, had
been reclining on one of the sofas in the Hall,
said to Mr. Grow : “ If you wish to object, go
to your side of the House to do so.” Mr.
Grow replied that he would make his objection
“where he pleased,” to which Col. Keitt, who
at the time had partially slipped off a shoe
which pinched his foot rejoined : “ I will see
to that, sir, as soon as I place this shoe on.”
Having quietly encased his foot in a service
able shape, in view of a necessity for its use.
Col Keitt approached Mr. Galusha Grow, and
taking him by the lappel or collar of the coat,
bid him go over to-his side of the House, if he
wished to object to Gen. Quitman’s motion.
On the hold upon him being loosened, Mr.
Grow stud: “ You cannot, Mr. Keitt, drive
me like your negroes;” to which Col. K,
eplied: “ I will choke you again for that re
mark,” seizing the honorable member from
Pennsylvania again by the collar and giving
him a premonitory shake. At this jnuc
turc, Gen. Davis, of Mississippi, apparently
carried away by his sudden-excitement, and
anxious to prevent violence, rushed up and
wrenched Col. Keitt from his hold on his anta
gonist, throwing him off his feet on a neigh
boring desk. During the whole proceeding,
Mr. Grow was evidently filled with terror, as
may be judged from the fact that he never
struck nor was ever seen to attempt to strike
a single blow. The fact that he did not strike
Col. Keitt is verified beyond all doubt, not
only by the testimony of the closest observers
of tho rencontre, but by Mr. Grow’s own de
claration, made to Gen. Davis, in thanking
him for his interference that he had not oven
struck at the gentleman from South Carolina.
The falsehood especially of that part of the
Black Republican fabrication representing Co 1.
Keitt to have been struck down by Mr. Grow,
is thus exposed beyond all cavil. The whole
story circulated through the Northern news
paper presses, is dearly marked as a base and
weak invention. Messrs. Miles, Atkins, Davis,
and others, were spectators of the rencontre,
and vouch for the entire accuracy of this state
ment, and Mr. Grow will not deny it.
Mr. Keitt’s frank, chivalrous" and manly
apology to the House, for a violation of its
decorum and rules, is the theme of universal
applause. Among those warmest in their con
gratulations to Mr. Keitt after he had finished
his remarks, were Messrs. Quitman, Stephens,
and Clingman.
I have thus given you a plain and unvar
nished statement of this occurrence, on the cor
rectness of which your readers may implicitly
rely.
An Irish Bull—It is reported that some
Irish laborers on the Western railroad, having
had a quarrel with the contracter, who was a
Banker, collected a large number of his Bank
notes and burnt them; in order to break the
Bank, saying “how can the ould divil get along
now, and his money burnt up,"
Tlie Kitchen.
We will give to intellect, morality, to relig
ion, and to all virtues, the honor that belongs
to them. And still it may be boldy affirmed
that economy, taste, skill and neatness in tho
kitchen, have a great deal to do in making lifo
happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indespensably necessary that a
house should be filled with luxuries. All the
qualifications for good house-keeping can be
displayed as well-on a small scale as on a large
one.
A small honse can be more easily kept clean
than a palace. Economy is most needed in
tbe absence of abundance.
Taste is as well displayed in placing the
dishes on a pine table, as in arranging the folds
in a damask curtain.
And skillful cooking is as readily discovered
in a nicely baked potato, or a respectable john
ny-cake, as in a nut-brown sirloin or a brace
of canvas-backs.
The charm of good housekeeping is in the
order, economy and taste displayed in atten
tion to little things: and these little things
have a wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driv
en many one from home, to seek for comfort
and happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is a science—a theory of
life which all sensible women ought to study
and practice. None of our excellent girls are
fit to be married until they are thoroughly
educated in the deep and profound sciences of
the kitchen.
See to it, all ye who are mothers, that your
daughters are all accomplished by an experi
mental knowledge of good house-keeping.
