 Domestic Life in Turkey. 



All Turkish residences are divided into two 

 parts, one of which is occupied by the lords of the 

 household, and the other is the department for tbe 

 harem. If tho bouse belongs to a man of wealth, 

 each of theso divisions is sub-divided into nume- 

 rous apartments, and the building is consequently 

 of great extent. The windows of the apartments 

 occupied by tbe harem are closely latticed by fine 

 ■ J punted white, which give a very 

 neat and pretty effect to the builiog. These jtat- 

 Oltrtti, as they might properly bo called, answer 

 tho purpose for which tbey are designed, protect- 

 ing the inmates from tbe gaze of all without, while 

 they are sufTieiciitly open to enable those within to 

 .I'.jwiihout inconvenience whatever passes around 

 them. Turkish women are by no means confined 

 to a life of solitude or imprisonment, and tbey 

 would bo scorcely tempted to exchange the perfect 

 freedom and exemption from the austere duties of 

 life, which Li their acme of happiness, for alii 

 advantages that might be gained from intellect 

 pursutU, or a different form of society. Ttiey 

 roam in parties when tbey pleose and where they 

 please, if it be not far from home, accompanied by 

 slaves and various attendants. Their highest 

 enjoyment is in passing the bright sunny days of 

 their long summers under tbc broad-spreading 

 plane trees that are to be found beside e 

 otream. At such places tbey may be always 

 in little groups upou tbe grass, tbc great diversity 

 of brilliant colors, and the

One might suppose that Turkish women studied 

 ice their parties consist of 

 paraona dressed in as opposite colors ns possible,

as we can now have no doubt, of both Empires, 

 tbat the great Western Republic should separate 

 from us; and tho gallant soldiers who fought on 

 her side, their indomitable and heroic Chief above 

 all, had the glory of facing and overcoming, not 

 only veteran soldiers amply provided and inured 

 to wur, but wretchedness, cold, hunger, dissension, 

 treason within their own camp, whete all must 

 have gone to rack, but for the pure, unquenchable 

 flame of patriotism that was forever burning iu 

 the breast of the heroic leader. What oconstaucy, 

 what n magnanimity, what a surprising persist- 

 ency against fortune! Washington before the 

 enemy was no belter nor braver than hundreds 

 who fought with him or against him ; but Wash- 

 ington, the Chief of a nation in arms, doing battle 

 with distracted parties; calm in tbe midst of con- 

 spiracy; serene against Ihe open foe btfore him, 

 and the darker enemies at his back; Washington, 

 inspiring order and spirit into troops hungry and 

 in rags; stung by ingratitude, but betraying no 

 unger, and ever ready to forgive; in defeat invin- 

 cible, magnanimous in conquest, and never so 

 sublime ns on tbat day when he laid down bis 

 victorious sword and sought his noble retirement — 

 hero indeed is a character to admire and revere; a 

 life without a stoiD, n fame without a Qaw."

harsh discord or thunder maledictions. It will do 

 whatever it is asked to do. It is a pliable instru- 

 ment ready to serve many purposes. From some 

 lips it is beautiful and musical, charming the ear 

 and delighting tbe soul. From others it is rough 

 coarse, discordant. It eipresses what is in the 

 speaker or writer. 



Good longuage is ever a beautiful thing. Who 

 does not love to hear it V It indicates a gentleman, 

 a lady, a scholar, a friend. It is evidence of refine- 

 ment, taste, good manners, culture, judgment, good 

 breeding. It has a happy influence, is ever th 

 proper vehicle of good thoughts and prope 

 feelings. 



It is said that at one period of Athenian histoi 

 the ear and taste of the people of Athens were s 

 cultivated that a public speaker would be hissed 

 by the common people for a coarse expression 

 an ungrammaticul sentence. This perhaps if 

 fastidious refinement; but pure and proper lr.

 used. For home use, for friendship, for business, 

 for social life— how admirable is chaste language. 

 A grammar, a dictionary, a proper attention to the

 give one correct and agreeable habits of conversa- 

 tion. Try it, all bad talkers- ValUy Farmer.

OUT WEST TWELVE YEARS AGO. 



Eds. Rural Nkw-Yobker: — Having seen an 

 rlicle in tbe last number of the Rural, beaded 

 Our Society Out West," I will give my youag 

 fellow Ruralists an idea of our society in what was 

 ed the woods. About tbe year 1947 a 

 igent, honest families, loft their happy 

 firesides to brave the storms and privations of a 

 woodman's life, destined for the land of Indians 

 id other " wild animals." Finally, after travera- 

 g fifteen hundred miles, fifty miles west of tho 

 lores of Lake Michigan, they " drove their 

 stakes" and commenced their slow and tardy road 

 sooner .would their cabins be 

 erected, than an unwelcome visitor, for such ho 

 hideous, savage-like 

 features, would pop iu for the purpose of obtaining 

 huh-i-gon (bread;) after receiving it, withatoo- 

 fhoo, (good day,) mount his little wild poney 

 and bound away whooping and yelling with joy. 

 In a few months there were families enough to 

 form a settlement, and then how happy they were.

 and interfered with theirdiessand customs. Each 

 one wore tho dress he saw fit, whether it was

 the winter season — an ox team and an old sled

 were strangers to them ; doctors were unueeded 

 and lawyers uncalled for. They had public wor-

 denomination — oil was unity, brotherhood. At 

 their town meetings and elections no political 

 strife was manifested. But oh! the change in
