I never yet saw a mite of good come of it! Nobody need tell me, it is in the bringing up, for a nicer woman than Susan Urey’s mother never was made. She’s up airly and late, one thing is sartain, she don’t feel herself above the meanest creeter that walks. 1 hold to ministers and school-masters being learned, and sich like folks, but it don t seem as if there was a mile of need of of farmers’ girls having sich lam ing.” “But what is the trouble with the daughter, Miss Bemau ? ’ inquired the new school teacher, ns Aunt Judy re placed her glasses and resumed her knitting. “Law sake! 1 don’t know hardly how to tell you, only they have gin her • a sight of schooling hete, and away, from home too, and they have jest about spoiled her; but Mrs. Green, here, can tell you enough sight better than 1 can.” 1 “As to that,” said Mrs. Green, “Aunt Judy and 1 are such good friends j tha! we will agree to differ in ouropin- j ion of these matters. It seems to me that tirno will rectify Susan’s errors, for I do not deny that she has some foolish notions, not, as l think, owing to her education, but only for the want of a little more.” “Bless me,” exclaimed Aunt Judy, “how in the world could she have any more?” “I will tell you what 1 think oflhese’ tilings, Aunt Judy, and perhaps we shall one day see even in Susan Grey’s case, whether these opinions ure cor rect or false. “Farmers’ daughters, from their ear liest childhood, ure, as a matter of course, accustomed to country notions, and country fashions. Comfort, happi ness, and usefulness, rather than show, are what they are familiar w ith. Far mers’ children do not see labor perform ed by servants only, but they see father and mother engaged in the active du ■ ties of life. Now it is not at all strange it a young miss who looks not beneath the surface at first, is quite fanscinated with the glitter and display of a city, or that she should begin to think her qni et home in the country very homely, or that she should rather conclude that it was better to have servants do all the work. But ought the fear that the farmers’ daughter will despise the borne of her youth, mid regard labor dSth aversion, to deter her parents from giving her all the advantages of educa tion which their means will allow ? ’ Why, it seems to me it would be quite as ridiculous to exclude five pure air of Heaven from our dwellings for fear of breathing the pestilence, or to refuse to build afire in mid-winter for fear our children would be burned ! Let a far mer’s daughter acquire as much infor mation as possible, and let her be as ac complished as she pleases, but it seems to me she is, or ought to be, the last oe to despise rtiui nor things. Not that i her beino n farmer’s daughter should prevent her iiavino lier full share of New England pride, but one ought nev er to despise any business or allairs which may claim a tolerable share of one’s tima and attention in after life.. 1 Although there may be no actual merit ! in beinu well versed in these common things, yet there is great folly in being willingly ignorant in regard to them. — One of these common things of which you suppose Susan ignorant, Aunt Ju dy, is cooking.” 1 “Law yes; if 1 had gals, ihey sliould’nt be edicated to be afeard to burn their fingers with a hot pancake!” “The truth is,” resumed Mrs. tvreen, j “few voting ladies while at school have any idea how close an oversight the mistress of anv well-regulated house hold has over her kitchen ullairs Al ‘ though she may not be required to do ! her cooking, &.C., entirely with her own j hands, yet she is obliged to have the ’ care of, and see to die whole. “There are many ladies of superior education, who commencing house keeping with small families,'choose to j dispense with help, and do their own , housework. Depend upon it, many a young housekeeper would gladly ex I change her knowledge of French and Italian for the ability to place before her husband and guests a dinner which should be satisfactory to herself. Not : that the exchange would be justifiable, hut for the time being, the need of the : one is fell to bo almost as great as that j of the other. “A lady who was reared and educa ted at the South, married a New Eng- ; land clergyman, who, not unlike many | of his brothers in the same profession, was not overburdened with this world's! goods. The lady, not from necessity alone, however, took the charge of her domestic affairs. Visiting her one day, I could not hut observe the ease, and perfect order, with which all her ar rangemenls were carried out. As l ro marked this to her, she replied that the satisfaction which the discharge of these duties afforded her was sufficient to re pay her for all the anxiety and euro which she endured while attempting to learn. ‘Were Ia mother of a score of daughters,’ said she, ‘they should all learn to cook while under the home roof; 1 was a novice in this branch of housekeeping, and finding, after some vain attempts, that 1 could not learn without a teacher, my husband brought tite daughter of a farmer out of the cilr to our house, to give me lessons. “Often us twilight gathered around us, and shs would solicit me to play some favorite piece of music, did I think that 1 would gladly have ex changed my acquirements in this de lightful art with rny beautiful iustru rnent which I brought from my home, for her knowledge of cooking. But as I was a teachable pupil, 1 soon acquired this knowledge which you see is so use ful to me; of my tears and discourage ments, at my first attempts and failures, I will say nothing.’ “This is no uncommon case, but it is the experience of hundreds. “But farmers’ daughters, above all, should not be ignorant of this branch of’l education. They can acquire this more easily than others in different sit ; ualions, for they arc less liable to be in terrupted by visitors, and usually have 1 every facility and convenience at band, and in truth there is no earthly reason, why they should be ignorant of any o’ | these things. But 1 have almost tergot ! ten Susan Grey, of whom you were j speaking, Miss Ueman !” “Wall, now, do tell me Mrs. Greet), I after all you’ve said, which sounded well enough, it you don’t think it would a bit: better for tor Susan, if Mr. Grey had a took that very money which lie paid out for her schooling, and bought (.two cows a purpose for Susan, and put the rest on’t into the Savings’ Batik ? Don’t you think she, and all that has i any think to do with her in filter, would . a been sight better off in the long run?” “By no means, Aunt Judy ; why, the cost of an education is the last thing ‘one ought to think of, but 1 will talk to you of this another time, for 1 far Miss i Holt is getting impatient to hear the end ; of our talk.” “Oh no, l was just thinking. 1 would ! ask if the young lady was rut blessed 1 with common sens ; ?” “Oh, yes, l never heerd any body say but what she is bright enough; ! when she Was a very little girl 1 u-eii ■to lliir.k she was proper bright, hot 1 j can tell you all I’ve got agin Imr is this, since she lias got her education, I can’t help minding that sin appears 1 proud in the meeting-house, an I when she walks along in the road, and she 1 ain’t near so free to take hold an i help | her mother, and if any body knocks at the ‘fore door,’ off will pome her cal ico apron, and I could tell more sich ! tilings if 1 w-as a mind to, but mind ye, ! it wan’t so before they sent her away.” “Perhaps these things are all trie- Aunt Judy, but depend upon it, that ns ! Susan lias a good heart, an I good sens *, I these notions which you rightly cat. foolish, will be of short continuance,.. PENFIELD, GA. JULY 10, 1852- and you will yet say tliatSrsan is a bet ter woman, a better neighbor, and a more valuable member of society, than sheeould have been with little or no advantages of education.” At this moment little Emma Green reaching up, whispered, “Mother, the greut girls said at school to-day, that Susan Grey whs going te he married to 1 John Wright.” This was spoken loud j enough for Aunt Judy to hear, who ex 1 claimed,* — “Mercy on me! mercy on him, I mean ! Wall, 1 know twill be the un doing of him! 1 can’t think but he has ! lost his senses. Now, 1 see ’twas well Iris dear mother was taken away from the evil to come.” At the same time : rolling up her work without knitting into the middle of her needle, a tiling which under any ordinary emotion she would never have done. “it would he dilficult to determine,” said Mrs. Green, after her sudden de parture, “which is greater, Aunt Judy’s surprise, or Ivor desire to communicate the news, and witness the surprise oi all she will see before reaching home. ! Naturally kind and benevolent in her! feelings, she is interested in the affairs of others. Aunt to all in general, and no one in particular, she cares equally for the good of all, but her love ofgossip ! lias already grown to a passion ; slow j as she is in her motions, yet like the magnetic telegraph, if there is any j nfwa to be communicated, it is done quickly. “I’ve been in to see John Wright’s wife,” said Aunt Judy, us she stopped I before Mrs Green’s sitting-room win- i dow, two years after the above oonver- Lsatiou. “You know 1 always make a pint of going to see every body—l j should u gone as soon as they were ; married, if 1 had not had the rhouinatrs ; so bad.” i “Did she catch off her colico apron?” “Law no, 1 did not go into the ‘front ! door,’ 1 like to go through the kitchen and look round u bit; hut she had some pretty grand looking company come whilst 1 was there, from N . Su ’ san didn’t seem a mite put out, but \ would make me slop to tea ; her supper was nice, and 1 looked round consider ! able, while she was getting tea ready. ! and every thing was neat as w r ax. 1 diil not think of setting down to the ta ble with the rest of the but she wouldn’t take no, for an answer.— 1 thought 1 would try ho>once, so I say* right at the table, ‘your butter is beau tiful, Miss Wiight, diTI you make it yourself?’ You see 1 thought she would be kinder ashamed to own it be fore them smart folks. “Oil yes, Missj Hainan, I have no girl, and I do all my ; j work,’ she said. ‘Most I’m afeard of i Mrs. Green, is that she will work too hard.” “1 see you have changed your mind, Aunt J udy.” “O, wall, 1 don’t know but it is part ly ow ing to her ‘making out’ so well marrying, but she is a bautiliil woman, not a mite proud but I must go, for 1 see my cow is waiting at lle bar.” New England banner. TH E TRAV EL ED TvTTTsPE R. ’ “I’ll tell thee a tale as ’twas told to me.” Scorr. - “1 do not like to say anything about it,” whispered Mrs. Sawyer to her next door neighbor, Mrs. Ashton, “Inn they 1 ilo say that Miss Bates, our new music ! teacher, is no boiler tban she should be. 1 don’t lLink that l shall send Anna Ma ria or Sarah Jane. True, she comes highly recommended, but Mrs. Goxle nough, whose daughter’ went to school last year, within twenty miles of Miss Bates’ father, tel! me that her daughter heard from one of her school mates, a slight whisper to Miss Bates’ disadvan tage ; and people are best known at home, yon knew Mrs. Ashtor. field up both net gloved hands i.u wonder and approval of this, ; sentiment, and then hastened away on ! 1 her round of morning calls, all the wi ser for her visit to Mrs. Sawyers. Her next stopping place was at Mrs. 1 Willis’. Sue found liiat lady over her i sewing in the sitting room, and quite j i alone. “1 am delighted to see you,” cried Mrs. Ashton, half breathless from fast , walking. “It has been an age since 1 met you last, flow are you and your charming daughters, Melissa Arm and Julia ? The latter are at school, I dare say. By the way, Mrs. Willis, 1 have been greatly shocked this morning. I never should have dreamed of such a thing, as Mrs. Sawyer has just been whispering to me. I can hardly be ; lieve it now. But I must beg you not to say a word about it to any sou/ living. 1 am so shocked to think such u thing could have happened! Fray don’t ! mention it from any consideration, hut they do say that Miss Bates, the new music teacher, has a very bad ’ (diameter indeed at home. Mrs. .Saw-! vi r lias it on unquestionable authority,; and has declined the idea of sendings , her daughters on that account. - But she j. young an I prcltv, poor thing !| and l am very sorry for her, and | wouldn’t injure her for anything in the , world.” ‘ • v. j Mrs. Willis laid down her work with, consternation pictured in her face ; and the two ladies whispered and nodded significantly, lor the next two hours. At the end of that lime Mrs. Willis reluct uhe red that she had u host of calls to make, and trying on her bonnet, the two ladies went together. Before night, the whisper that Mrs. Sawyer had thoughtlessly echoed from I the tongue of a school girl, luid traveled 1 all through the village, and ten miles into vhb country, and tilde was a pros ; I pect of its travelling on, on. as far as ‘ | the Academy of B was known, and ! blighting in every family, where it was carried, the fair fame of a pale faced, sweet young creature, who bent with j ! patient assiduity over her task, uncon- i scious that, a breath more fatal limn the 1 1 simoon of the desert, had passed over her character. If there is not deli he r. | : ate cruelty in thus murdering the repu- ‘ tation und destroying the influence of ! another, and that other a stranger, timid ! and sensitive ns the Mimosa which shrinks from the slightest touch, tell me in what cruelty consists! And yet it was all the work ot a whisper ; a I thoughtless and unmeaning whisper.— i Miss Bates’ reputation was re-establish ed when she learned, after Weeks of j suffering, the exaggerated reports eve- j ry where in circulation in regard to her, j and brought testimonials of her inno cence from her native town, mid from the first persons in other communities, with whom she chanced to ‘fro before j acquainted ; it was re-established when ! she had stayed long in the Academy at B and lived down the aspersions so cruelly cast upon her. But her case is not an isolated one. Many and many a reputation, has been wrecked by busy bodies, who have little to do at home, and go abroad for em ployment; who love to gossip over their neighbor’s alfiirs and help on, with tail road speed, the travelling whisper. For the Temperance Banner. Dear Banner : —ln your issue of the j sth inst., I see an article sigued“Or ) pints,” in reply to “Bay Creek*.” Al low me to make a few remarks in re ply to ‘Orplius,’ and to sav a few words in defense of the position taken by Bay Greek. ; ‘Orplius’sets out by telling an anecdote th'at as just as old as Caesar’s coon, what had “lib in dat same place ever ebber sense Marika bin make”—and what is still more remarkable, it does not fit Bay Creek in a single particular. The old Methodist brother had not paid a single cent in ‘25 years, Bay Creek had been all the time paying. The infer ence is clenr, that old brother Methodist had been of very little use to his church. Bay Creek hud been all the Dhife a most ardent and efficient temperance man, both as a YVashingtonian and os u Son. Our faiond Orplius, next quotes from Die article of Buy Creek, “you will ac knowledge me to bo a’ good S. of TANARUS.,” and denies the fact, but uses no other argument to prove that B. C. is not a gooil (Son, only the circumstance, that lie (Orplius) bus been a Son for seven yours, and expects to remain one as long as the order remains wliut it isG Y’ou will, dear reader, ugreewithme 1 that this is an herculean argument, — ! all men should remain S. of T. because Orplius does. Notwithstanding, they: may have spent the prime of life, and pourd out their treasuries like water, in defense of temperance, till aow, when ‘ from age, a large family, the distance, 1 &c-, it is almost impossible for them longer to visit the Division. Orplius, did you know that Bay Creek (stingy as you think him,) had in the last few years contributed five hundred dollars to charitable institution, and that he in inoJcrate circumstances? My dear sir, when you strike in the dark jou! are as likely to wound your friend as: your enemy. Now friend Orphus, 1 contend, uc cording to your own position, that you i must iri the next few years give five hundred dollars to charitable institution, because Bay Creek lias done so. You 1 nsk, “where was Bay Creek during the old teiriperunce organization of the YVashingtonian* ? liovv long did they ! live?” To t fie first part of this com pound question, 1 answer, Bay Creek was in full armor, and in the filed, i fighting with all bis strength, the hat- ; ties of temperance, und that too at n itioio when there were enemies, fierce! enemies, to he met every day. lie was! | one of those noble pioneers, who rushed into the enemy’s midst, determined to j conquor or die. It is to these fearless: pioneers tiiat the order of the S. of T. owe their existence. They spied out j the land and said, “we are well able to| possess it.” Ol'phus would not boa Y\'as)iiug : o- j Ilian. Wonder if he * ivv a “tall son of | nnck ?” Your remarks, Y>?pbU', aie i in unison with w hat we commonly h<w , these days. The Sous, like the hus band who hid till |iis wife killed the bear, ure proclaiming aloud wo have done it. No credit is given to those old ‘soldiers, w ho have fought the battles of the cause so’ bfavely. To the last [ part ot lire question, 1 only reply, the Washingtonians lived much ledger than the Soils has yet lived. The next thing we shall notice is the ! remark, “ihat no cause can sustain it- j self, much less wield an influence for j | good, without means,” and gives the) ; church as an example. 1 have not yet { heard ot any branch of Christians, that ! lurried out members who hud been faith ! ful, because they Imd become old, and infirm, and no longer paid quarterage ; ; und as masons rejecting their members | for such reasons, and depriving them of | their members, it is nil insult to the or ! dor to accuse them of any such things. To the question, could we build halls *Blll furnish, (Ac., without ineuns ? Al ! low mo to ivinark, that I have frequent ly ohservi I Divisions, in their great I anxiety to “keep up w ith appearances,” ; make a terrible effort to “show out,” pay out all their money, go in debt, and get so emharassed, that the members would become disgusted with thoorder:, when if they had practiced a little more economy, they would have had money j enough for all constitutional demands. Orplius has been a great traveller, jnnd wishes us all to know it. But-for the life of me, 1 cau’t see what the S. !of T. in Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland und Wales, lias to do with the subject. “With our present dues and j other sources of revenue, we have no! money to spare.” Then practice a lit tle more economy. 1 would say to Orphus, that I do not) question, but l love liis order, as W'ell as himself; fait at the same time brother, we do some things that are not best for our own prosperity. Ido not know how any reflecting person, can think our or der can be benefited by throwing a mem her over hoard, when ho no longer feels mmself able to pay dues to the Divis ion, without ail injustice to his family, or himsolf’. 1 have heard of a hard hearted man using a good horse till lie became useless, from age, and could no longer do his muster profitable serv ice, and then turned him out to get his liv |mg us lie could. This is a parallel.— i It is an easy matter for a man to be h S. of T. at tho present day, but to be ! a hold defender of the cause fifteen or ; twenty years ago, was altogether a dis ! forent thing. Now it is reputuhle. i Then it amounted to a forfeiture of char ! acter. Would it be Iretter for the or i der for such men as Bay Creek to he | allowed to retain membership, without paying dues, or being any expense to ■ the order, or would it he better to drop ’ them as soon os they coase to pay I quarterage t is tho question that pre sents itself. We all know that there are numbers of old men, who joined on ly to give some Divisions a start, or perhaps to get their sons to join. Nei ther they, nor the Division, expecting them to remain long in the order.— There are many others, like B. C., who have worn themselves out in the cause. Now would it not be belter for our Di- ! i visions, generally, to retain these old i pali iurdhs as members, (honorary,) than to lose them entirely ? 1 think it would, j We need their advice and council, their ! mature judgment and experience. I j Will admit that it would be better fori the Divisions if they would remain and ! 1 pay, but ibis is not reasonable, und j they will not do it. 1 know it is said : the precedent is bad. Let the G. D. ! 1 say how long u man shall be compelled j to pay dues before lie is entitled to lie ! an honorary member. For instance ’ let men under fifty, be com pel It-d to) pay ten years, over that, less, and al low each Division to judge of all ilicir. i own oases I believe this subject should he delih- j ( lately discussed. I have therefore, no ! apology to oflr for the length of thisi article. I would he pleased to hear | from Orplius after lie iias been a Soul of thirty years. AJOSSY CREEK, j Wilua, Houston Cos., Juno 15th. For the Temperance Banner: Tiro. Brant!y . —Some few weeks ! ago Chopped you a few lines and made I u few suggestions to the members of the National Division, hoping they would so awaken them, that they would sec the urgent necessity of doing uome ihiiig to revive the cause, fur it is well known that soino Divisions, ure dead, I and a number of Die others declining ; i and one prominent reason lor ibis, is, | the large iiurnherof the best temperance men in the Stale withdrawing from the: Divisions, and for the want of just such a provision as 1 suggested, in the Banner of the Oth, a. writer, who! signs himself “Orplius,” (D ought to hare been awful) says he is opposed to mv suggestr ns. and argues us it would have a tendency to reduce the funds of the older. N(W Ido not view it so: be tli<* means of mcrcasing^j rather than to diminish. Bui us it is, il is reducing tho membership, and if many more withdraws, there will he no need of,funds. Avery large number of oqr people, bjth friends and enemies of the cause, express the opinion that unless something more is done to revive it. that our Division cannot live long, j Due cl file loading members remarked tq me a few days ago, that if it were I 1101 for a few of the old members about ■ town, it would go right out, and this too j after Miss “Anna Frances” had given j thpfn a sound drubbing, which set them to work a fresh. My whole object was to benefit the cause, and 1 shall leave il here. j But it is right and proper that I should take some notice of “Orpous.” I think 1 c;.n recognise in him three old uc quuintances, who are rapidly retreat ing from a lady generul. Ist. He attempts a paralel between his o[d preuclor. who hud paid nothing, j ull| f paid enough ; hut Die lines ure so far apart that they can only ber seen through u telescope by a cross- I eyed yankec. | ~nd. He cannot acknowledge ;no a I good boil, because. 1 am net Jound pay- Img the dimes. 1 stated before that | this would be the greatest objection.— But 1 shall not urge the confession, for I um done paying Die dimes untiML can find out how to make them us fust and as easy us Some of our friends do in* large cities, like Charleston and New- York. There iliay can make 40 glas ses of lemonade out of one little lemon I und 000 pound ol‘ sugar, and get the j dimes for them as fast us they can make I them. If ibis was my case, I could uf i ford to pay the weekly pittonee ; par- I ticularly if 1 lived at the Division room and could make clear inonev bv every meeting. .Jd. llespeuks of tlie old temperance Societies us if they iiad done nothing, lie seems not te know thut it is con tended by many thut if they had not yielded to the Suns, the cause would have been far ahead of where it is at present. 1 alto out the old Washingto nians und the Sens that have fallen from grace, und it doubtlos would boa head now. He asks whero Bay Creek was then? 1 will tedl him ; he was in good compa ny fighting for the teetotal cause, and he is yet there.lt is true he fought underthe banner of the buns until the companies around him began to retreat; he then returned to his old cornpuny und enlist ed for life, und|he is now learning his six sons to the rnunuel exeroiso, so us to be ready, when called on, to volunteer. Augain, “Orplius” takes some loups that lays “Sam Fateh” in the shade ; he jumps from the United States into Cun adu, then te England, Ireland, Scot land and Wales, and never stopped un lij he jumped right into king Soloman’* Temple, and was so delighted with its beauty, that after his return to ttie United States, actually wants dimea enough to build one like it for the Sons. Well, go a head “Orplius,” anil be re solved to conquer. But candor compel* me lo confess i hat when 1 threw out that little bait, 1 did not expect lo catch ! such a tine mess of suckers, und thev ! already scaled hy tho fuir hand of ala- I ly. Now I wish Miss “Anna” would come and dine with me ; 1 hear she is ; fond of them, for, liko Uncle Dab. 1 ney, Ido love the gals. But lam irulv sorry to hear the Divisions are in such | had oidci ; 1 had hoped they might yet j effect more good. 1 clieci fully udinit i they have done well in days that have 1 past, ai.d Ido from heart bid them God’s ! speed. Yot 1 fear that none of our or j ganizatioris began right, and 1 think if I they would all agree no vto start as : they ought lo have done at first, that in a few years prince alcohol will be dead ; in Georgia. il ai! could g< t the Legislature to ! | ,,153 to reler this subject to the people (Die votes) of each malitia dis ! trict, and let tliem vole every yeur ! whether they wanted a doggery or not, i a1,, l **o to p a >s an act that in those dis tricts where Die votes were against, for. I bid to license, und where they Wanted jone m give the license, it would be an ( easy mutter to get clear of them. It is i true they might, and probably would,- have some districts where they Would Jbave a doggery, but the no doggery districts would he so orderly llmt ail iho towdies would resort to the others, und llicy would soon become so disreputable that the district would be a shamed to liave one. YY ell if we could get the doggeries down, the cause would be nearly gained, for the light already spread through the land hy all the dir. forent societies, would so shine that (ntt a lew would touch.
