MISCELLANEOUS 



liyThc following excellent article is from the 

 Vermont Watclininn ami Stute Journal. Itabonnds 

 in judicioiLs advice to bolli mothers and danglitcri*. 

 Happy would it be for our land, aye, fur our race, 

 were llie true ends of firruile edi catioji understsod 

 and kept constantly in view. The instances in 

 which men of sense and worth beci.nie dupes, are 

 only the exceptions, not the general rnle. So that 

 if there be mothers who aim only at ^'ctting their 

 dau},fhters well married— or danyhters whose cliief 

 object is to get well married — they defeat their 

 own purposes just so far as practical acrinaintancc 

 with household labors and vigilant discitiline of 

 the lieart are sacriliced to the spurious j;entilily of 

 parlor listlessness and free paiticipation in iieart- 

 corrupting gossip. The wise ones of the oilier 

 aex are seldom caught by folly ; the foolish are not 

 worth catching. [labits of active industry, of neat- 

 ness and frugality ; together with good sense, solid 

 intellectual attainments, charity in judging others, 

 and unfailing kindness, are woman's betitling orna- 

 ments in all ranks of society. Decked in these, 

 she will n.ake her appropriate and happy influence 

 felt both at the lire side and in society. Wearing 

 these, changes of fortune can neither make nor 

 ruin the sources of her highest enjoyments. When 

 educated for usefulness she is educated for happi- 

 ness and respectability. — Ed. 



BROTHER JONATHAN'S WIP^PS ADVICE 



HER MARRIAGE. 



TO HKR UAL'GHTKK ON T« E DAY 



Now. Poliy, as you are about to leave us, a few 

 words seem appropriate to the occasion. Although 

 I regret the separation, yel I am pleased that your 

 prospects are good. You must not think that all 

 before you are Elysian fields. Toil, care and 

 troulile are the companions of frail human nature. 

 Old connexions will he dissolved by distance, by 

 time and death. New ones are formed Every 

 thing pertaining to this life is on the change. 



A well cultivated mind united with a pleasant, 

 easy disposition, is the greatest a-ccomplislnnent in 

 a lady. I have endeavored from the first to the 

 present moment, to bring you up in such a manner 

 as to form you for future usefulness in society. — 

 Woman was never made merely to see .and be seen ; 

 but to fill an important space in the great chain in 

 nature, planned and formed by the Almighty I'arent 

 of the universe. You have been educated in hab- 

 its of indu.stry, frugality, economy and neatness, 

 and in these you have not disappointed me. 



It is for the man to provide, and for the wife to 

 care and see that every thing within her circle of 

 movement, is done in order and season; therefore 

 let method and order be considered important. A 

 place for every thing and every thing in its time, 

 are good family moltos. 



A thorough knowledge of every kind of business 

 appropriate to tin- kitchen, is indispensable, for 

 without such knowledge a lady is Incapable of the 

 management of her own business, and is liable to 

 imposition by lirr servants every day. But in 

 those things you have been instructed. 



You will be mistress of your own house, and ob- 

 serve the rules in which you have been educated. 

 You will endeavor above all things to make your 

 fireside the most agreeable place lor the man of 

 your choice. Pleasantry and a happy disposition 

 will ever be considered necessary to this important 

 end — but a foolish fondness is disgusting to all. 



Let reason and common sense ever guide — these 

 aided by a pleasant, friendly disposition, render 

 life happy; and without these it is not desirabh-. 

 Remember your cousin Eliza. She married with 

 the highest prospects ; but from a petulent, peev- 

 ish, and I omplaining disposition, and negligence, 

 every thing went wrong ; and her home became a 

 place of disiiuietude to her husband. To avoid 

 this, he sou.'ht a ])hice to pass away vacant time, 

 where, associated with those more wicked than 

 himself, he ctmtracted the habit of intemperance, 

 and all was lost — and poor Eliza was thrown upon 

 the charity of her friends. 



Be pleasant and obliging to your neighbors — 

 ready to grant assistance when necessary. Be 

 careful of their characters, and do not readily be- 

 lieve an ill report. Throw the mantle of charity 

 over their failings, knowing that we aje human and 

 liable to err. Abhor a t;:ttler, and give no place 

 to the reports of such. However strong a provo- 

 cation- may be, never contend for the last word. 



Let your bible show that it is used. Give no 

 place to novels in your library. Let history, biog- 

 raphy and travels be read, when time and oppm-to- 

 nity admit — without interfering with the important 

 duties of the family. Be not ignorant of the events 

 of the time being — therefore read some journal of 

 the day^ 



As to friends who may call on you — never be 

 confused or in a hurry; treat them with hospitality 

 and politeness, and endeavor to make tliern happy 

 in their own way. Never leaze them to do this 

 or that which they do not prefer. True politeness 

 consists in an easy and pleasant deportment, and 

 making our friends easy, and permitting them to 

 enjoy themselves in that way which is most pleas- 

 ing to them. 



Speak with deliberation. The other sex tell us 

 that "the female tongue is i>ever tired ;" he it so : 

 let it be regulated by reason. 



At the close of the week, if possible, let all your 

 work, for the time, be done ; so that on Sunday 

 you may improve your time in such a manner as 

 will be appropriate to the day, and never, extraor- 

 dinaries excepted, let your seat be vacant at church. 

 As to dress — decency is becoming to all, but ex- 

 travagance opens a door to want; follow the fash- 

 ion of the day so far as decency and good sense 

 will approve-, but avoid singularity. Be not trou- 

 bled for what yon have not; be thankful for, and 

 take care of what you have. A leghorn hat loaded 

 with flowers, will not cure the head ache, nor a 

 gold watch prevent the consumption.

Georgia Silk The Macon Telegraph says — 



" At a late term of the Inferior Court of this coun- 

 ty, one of the presiding judges appeared on the 

 bench with silk stockings, silk handkerchief, &x., 

 made by his own family or some of his friends, of 

 the production of their own cocooneries. The next 

 day another of the judges, A. E. Ernest, Esq., ap- 

 peared in a full suit of silk, (including coat, vest, 

 pantaloons, stockings, pocket handkerchietf and 

 stock,) produced and manufactured wliolly and en- 

 tirely in his own family. Judge E. is of opiniim 

 that domestic silk will, before many years, be found 

 the most economical article for negro clothing as 

 well as ladies and gentlemen's dresses."
