Looking for a Domestic Wife.
BY KIT CARLYLE.
" I hardly know which I lika best, Jose-
pblot Reynolds or Hettie Burke," said
young Benson to himself. "Josephine is a
splendid looking girl, a qutsen in every
movement, and commands admiration eve-
rywhere she goes; but on the other hand,
Úettie is a little gem, and has a sweet dis
position, although, perhaps, Josephine has
as good. Both can shine in the parlor,and
for ought I know, iu the kitchen ¡ilso, as
all farmer'h daughters should be able to do.
Well, I'll c. H on them this Monday after-
noon, and endeavor to decide then. It's
washing day 1 know, but so much the bet-
ter time to sound th«. in on household du
ties ; and as I am going out of town the
fore part of this week it will be a good ex
cuse for calling now/'
George Beuton was a smart, intelligent
young man, but engaged in a profitable
business, which bid fair to, ii: a few years,
place him in independent circumstances.
He wished to marry, but felt the necessity
of wedding some one who was domestic,
and wh<y would be a helpmate.
He was very much, interested in both
Hettie and Josephine, and hardly knew
which be should prefer for a wife, as both
had many excellent qualities, but finally
coneluded to decide in favor of the one who
should prove to be the best domestic.
George's walk that afternoon brought
Him to Mrs. Reynold's about 3 o'clock.
Josephine's mother came to the door and
ushured him into the parlor. In a few
moments Josephine came in and welcomed
him cordially. To bis surprise instead of
seeming fatigued; as one will after a Mon-
day's washing, she looked as fresh and
blooming as a rose,and as trim in her dress
aa though ready for a party ; while her
mother, in her caKco working dress, look-
ed jaded and careworn, and referring, by
way of apology, to its being washing day
soon left the room.
" Excuse my call on Monday, Miss Rey-
. nolds," said George, " but I wa3 going to
leave town for a week, and I thought I
would happen in for a few moments before
1 went."
i M O, ypu are perfectly excusable," re-
plied Josephine, "and J am very glad in-
deed that you called."
u I shall make but a short stay continu-
ed George "a? I presume you are quite fa-
tigued with your—."
" O, no, not at all, I have been down to
the village shopping all the afternoon.
Mother always does the waShing,as I havn't
any taste that way."
44 Then you've been at liberty all day f'
M Tea, certainly, washing-day is not dif-
ferent with me from any other day;
never did a Monday's washing in my
life* Mother tried to initiate me into the
mysteries of the art one day, but 1 was so
awkward that she had to give up the ex-
periment; aud she said then that there
was no danger of my ever making a wash;
woman."
** Indeed f* said George to himself.
u Father," continued Josephine, " would
hire the washing done every week, but
mother says she had rather do it herself
for economy's sake."
" A knowledge of housework, «specially
cooking, is very desirable in a young lady,"
replied George.
*1 suppose it «ras once"considered so,"
replied Josephine, " but gentlemen now-a
days generally hire their wives a washer
woman and a housekeeper, and that ans-
wers ererr purpose, and saves a lady the
trouble of acquainting herself with such
disagreeable matters. Gentlemen of the
present day do not wish their wives to be
slaves, but companions."
u Ve*y convenient logic for the ladies,"
thought George.
"¡Some have a taste for snch duties, and
prefer to make themselves acquaiuted with
them," said he, Mfor the sake of overseeing
their servants and knowing for themselves
that these things are done as they should
Be, if for no other purpose."
" True, but I'm not one of that sort, I
abhor them. Uousewerk is perfectable
hateful—detestable to me. 0, dear,I should
consider a man cruel ¿who wished me to
confine myself to it, even a part of the
time."
" Well, continued George, drawing
long breath," for he was surprised to hear
Josephine express herself so directly con-
trary to all bis previous notions of a wo-
man's duties," a lady sometime* marries a
poor man and finds it for her and his in-
terest to conform to circumstances, and at-
tend to duties which are not agreeable to
her for the sake of assistiog her husband
and rendering his burden lighter."
"Yes, but I make no calculations oi!
that kind," said Josephine firmly, though
pleasantly, for she was really an agreeable
girl, though allowed to grow up with er-
roneous notions in regard to domestic af-
fairs, "I prefer not to wed a man unless
he is able and willing to support me in
ease and style."
uThen you would not make the right
kind of a wife for me," thought George
thoroughly sick of Josephine's remarks,
and aa soon as possible changed the topic
of conversation.
u What a lucky escape," said our friend
to himself, an hour afterwards as he wend-
ed his way towards Hettie Burke's. It's a
good thing for me that I sounded her
upon house-keeping before I propsed, oth
erwise I might have got myself into a pret
ty fix. What a figure I should cut with
such a wife, why 1 should be obliged to
turn washerwoman myself, for I couldu'
afford in my present circumstances to hire
all my work done. I should have to slay
at home and wash Monday, iron Tuesday
perhaps, and bake Saturday, leaving only
three days out of th< seven to attend to my
own business. What a fix! Beautiful
times I should have ; my business would
be neglected, and I should be poorer than
ever if 1 could afford to hire a housekeep
rr it woaldu't belter iLe case much, as ]
should have to give her directions, and see
that things were done properly, for Joseph-
ine is very far above such detestable mat-
ters, as she calls them. A man that's go-
ing to have such a wife ought to know it
iu season to get initiated into household
mysteries before marriage. Such a Miss
may do very well fur a rich man, but not
for me. Now for Hettie Burke; and if
she turns out like Josephine in her tastes
and dislike of household duties, setting
aside the knowledge of them, which she
cannot well avoid having, as all say her
mother has drilled her thoroughly in them,
and is full of whims of their being slavish,
¿sc., why then I'll seek a life companion
in some other part of the country, and,
perhaps, maice it a part of my present
journey abroad to lo«>k tor one.
Hettie welcomed him in an old calico
dress with sh"rt sleeves a In wash tub, aud
with her brown hair, that generally curled
so beautifully, ¿fathered up suuglyjind
neatly on the back part of the head.
" I suppose I shvuld apologize," said
she as they entered the parlor, " but I dis-
like apologies, and then, you know that
Monday isjwashing day, and we farmer's
daughters have to be in the suds then.
" And there's where 1 hoped to find
ou," George came near saying, but check-
ing himself he replied, " 1 know, it is a
pari of a woman's duties, and I am sure
an apology now would be out of place!"
" So I thought," returned Hettie.
" I fear I am intruding," said George.
" 0, by no means," replied Hetiie; we
are through with our washing, which held
out later than usual, as mother has been
quite unwell for a week, and I was oblig-
ed to do the whole of it to-day. You will
stay to tea, of course; it will be perfectly
convenient. Mother's headache has come
on, and she has laid down, but father will
be in presently to entertain you."
George's countenance was brightening
up every moment, and he began to think
bis fears groundless in regard to Hettie,
but was resolved to test her ideas thorough-
"Does housework agre6 with you 1" en-
quired he half trembling from uncertainty
as to the probable reply.
" O, yes," returned Hettie, " I'm gener-
ally pretty healthy, and then I'm fond of
it too, and you know that's half the b at-
tie. Mother even goes so far as to say
sometimes, I can cook and take care of the
house as well as she, but then that's her
flattery, of course to encourage me."
" But such work is hard, and some say
slavish," continued George.
"I think differently replied Hettie ; it is
not slavish, and |need not be so hard as
many contrive to make it. There's a right
way to do everything. Some fhave what
is called a knack, but that .is simply find-
ing out the easiest "way of doing a thing
and doing it well. One can make house
work comparatively easy in that way."
" Well, some consider it a disgrace,"
c ontinued our hero," and they have not a
tMe for it."
u It is not a disgrace," said Hettie; "on
the contrary, I think a young lady may
well be proud of a knowledge of house-
keeping. Many of the first ladies in the
land have felt above ft, and why should I
who am nothing but a farmer's daughter?
As for a taste that way, a girl may as well
acquire one first as last.
A man's wife must understand such
things, and the time to learn is when-sin
gle. I often think how ashamed I should
be if married, and unable the first day of
commencing housekeeping to cook my hus-
band a decent meal. YVhat would he
think ? Why that I was a mere doll.good
for nothing but to look at, I should cry
from sheer vexation..
" Well, really, I begin to think, Hettie,"
said George, " that you would even con-
sent to marry a man who would expect
you to do housework all your days, if you
loved him, you seem to make such an
agreeable business of it, but I should have
but little respect for the man who subjected
you to it unnecessarily."
"jks," replied Hettie smiling. " If I
reall^oved a man, his being poor would
not lead me to reject him, even if his situ
ation was such as to subject me to close
attention to home duties all ray life."
" That's the very girl for me," sak;
George to himself, as Hettie left the room
to arrange the tea-table,I needn'tjgo farther
And before he left the house that night, he
had made her an offer of his heart and
hand which had been accepted.
And so ends our simple sketch. If there
is any moral in it, young ladies of ordinary
discernment will not fail to discover it.

IIP] undersigned propose to publish a
monthly paper of sixteen pages, super
royal, so soon as a suflicient number of
subscribers are obtained to justify the un-
dertaking.
The paper will be devoted to the differ-
ent branches of industry, but mainly to the
interest of the Farmer and Stock-Raiser.
The day has passed by when the farmer
thought it silly to have any science in his
operations. A Northern agricultural paper
does not suit us, because our climate, and
soil, and productions, are different. Texas
has a peculiar climate, and to some extent
a peculiar soil, hence a paper published
even in Alabama or Georgia cannot be so
useful to the Texas'Farmer and Stock Rai-
ser as a paper published here in our midst,
detailing the experience and practical oper-
ations of our own planters.
So far as possible " The Farmer axd
Stock-Journal" shall be filled with origi-
nal matter, obtained from our own citizens,
and so far as proper shall be practical. We
have engaged some of the best and most
experienced and intellectual gentlemen in
Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia, to give
an occasional contribution from their res-
pective States, upon subjects that will be of
direct interest to the readers of the paper.
A person will be chosen, in due time1
from every agricultural, stock, or mechanical
society throughout the State, to act as
regular contributors to its columns. No
pains will be spared to make it equal to
any similar publication in the South. We
have taken hold of the enterprise with
determination to succeed, having in our
power everything necessary to accomplish
the object, after the subscribers are ob
tained.

Mules,Horses and Oxen advertised through
out the State.

the plant were brought home by Mr. E. Lyon

recollections. He brought it with hite %•
Washington from Nashville, where ii was tW
title of the home organ of Geo. Jackson u4
Mr. Polk, (with which he was editorially as-
sociated, ) and mainly adopted at his iAstanet,
by the lamented Mr. Ritchie, tlr* theft KMtsr
of the American'press, as anappropriate mum
f<u^ie Democratic journal whieh they joistly
esnRlished, and the first number of which .
was issued on Jefferson's birthday in 1&4K. It
is a name that was beloved by BUch sterliag
patriots and Democrats as Gen. Jackson, So .
K. Polk, Mr. RiUfcte, Gen. .Armstrong, and
their cotemporaffli, and a^ name graraa
the hearts of the Democratic party.
When the journal which it represented
founfl that its interests would be benefitted
by casting it aside and substituting another,
we then resol ved that, as it had been tbusre
pudiated, we would take it ap, and place il
at the head of our own columns, as seen as a
suitable period arrived.
The States and Union will be condncte#
with an exclusive regard to the pnneiplee • Í
the States Rights Democracy, will be inde-
pendent of factions, and unbiased by partial
interests. We may add that several of tba
ablest contributors to tb# Union daring th«
time we were connectd with H, have volun*
tarily promised to wiite for the "States a ad
Union," in behalf of the cause in which W«
are enlisted, as théy did in by-gone years.
It will be^furnished, to subscribers at tW
low price of One Dollar per year.
Tins is but barely remuaeraiire; bat we
have placed it thus low in order that H mty
be within the reach of every Democrat al<I
others who are inclined to read it. It will
contain all the leading editorials which ap^
p«>ar in the daily editions, as well as a larga
amount of general intelligence embracing
much valuable inforraatioh relating to tha
affairs of government, and matters a'f interest
appertaining to Literature, Agriculture and
Commerce. It wiH alsocoutain all
the government advbbhsbmbnrs
and official notices.
The events which will transpire duping the
next twelve months will make a paper pub-
lished at the seat of government af Mare
than ordinary interest.
The States and Union, d iring this pericd,
will contain a perfect history ef the praceaa
ings of the
next 00ngrkt8,
which will perhape be of more interest ta the
nation than any previous Congress which ha*
assembled at Washington since tha fennatiM
of the government
It will embrace the whole political canvass
for tuk next presivknxy,
up to the day on which the election takes
place; in fact It may be regarded as
the campaign paper,
and the cheapest paper of tha kind ever is*
sued. ^
We see no reason why its circulation should
not be extended to fifty thousand in a few
months. The indications are favorable ta
such a result from the substantial Manifesta-
tions which we receive day by day ia the
1 arge number of subscribers. A remittaaea
