Learn to Cook "Well. We again propose
this advice to those of our young female friends
who may chance to look into this journal. There
need be no scruple on the ground that the aim is
not sufficiently high for a generous and cultivated
mind. To do well whatever it becomes our duty
to do at all is an ambition sufficiently elevated for
the highest and most gifted spirit. The care of
the family will be the duty of the woman till
we all get translated to a higher sphere of exis-
tence and family care will always as now be
made up of details small in themselves 'tis true
but in the aggregate and in their connections vastly
important. Wc say then learn to cook ivcll.
The health of the family depends upon it Wc
s know there are those who associate luxury effe-
juukiuj .nu ;m ucpenuent ins with every attempt
of the kind recommended. But we do not believe
that health is promoted by eating raw carrots or
doughy bread or that to secure long life it is
necessary to turn cannibal. Nor were men made
to graze like cattle or eat food like dogs.
Nor is it necessary in order to shiiiP the errors
ot winch wc speak to rush into the opposite ex-
treme. Good cooker' does not consist in producing
the highest seasoned" dishes; nor sucli as to foster
a morbid appetite but in preparing every dish well
however simple or common it may be. There are
for instance families who never eat any good bread
from one century to another and have no idea in
what it consists. Nor are meats cooked any bet-
ter within their products. Those- little simple
and healthy delicacies which the good house-
keeper knows intuitively how to produce are never
seen here. liven a dish of potatoes cannot get
themselves well boiled. A member of the family
might as well fall among the Hottentots as far as
any proper nursing is concerned. These things
ought not to be nor is there any need of their
existence it the wife has any just notions of her
oongations to herself and those about her.
The science of bread making of meat broiling
stewing roasting and boiling; of vegetable cookiiig
and of preparing the multifarious small dishes of afl
sorts which go to make pleasant the table and all
about it are hers hers to understand and practice.
The Charm of Cleanliness. A white yellow
cravat or shirt on a man speaks at once the charac-
ter of his wife : and be you assured that she will
not take with jour dress pains which she has ne-
ver taken with her own. .Then the manner of put-
ting on the dress is no bad foundation for jndgiii"-.
If it be carelessly slovenly if it do not properly fit.
No matter its mean quality; mean as it may be it
may be neatly and trimly put on ; and if be not
take care of yourself for as you will soon find to
your cost a sloven m dress is a sloven in 11
tilings. The country people judge greatly from
the state of covering of the ankles and if this be not
clean and tight they conclude that all out of sight
is not as it ought to be. Look at the shoes; if
they be trodden on one side loose on the foot or
mn down at the heel it is a very bad sign ; and as
to slipshod though at coming down in the momiug
and even before day break make up your mind to
a rope rather than live with a slipshod wife. Oh!
how much do women loc by inattention to these
matters 1 Men in general say nothing about it to
their wives; but they think about it; they envy
their lucky neighbors; and in numerous cases conse-
quences the most serious arise from this apparently
trilling cause. Beauty is valuable; it isone of the
tics and a strong tie too ; that however cannot last
to an old age ; but the charm of cleanliness never
ends but with life itself. Coblxtt.

Schoolmasters and Printers. Goldsmith says:
"Of all professions I do not know a more useful and
honorable one than that of a schoolmaster; at the
same time I do not see one more general ly despised or
talents that are less rewarded." Our Doctor for-
got to mention printers as being in the same cate-
gory. The reason why these two classes are so
much neglected is obvious. Education and refine-
ment are not necessary to mere auimal life and to
live the sensuous reigu of a day is the highest ambi-
tion of too many. Wc wot of a printer who worked
hard and manfully to get his bread by toil but
failed. He went to brewing beer and made a for-
tune. He used to say every body had stomaclis
whereas very few were blessed with heads.
Jewish Sabbath. The Reformed Jewish Com-
munion of Berlin have decided that the Sabbath
shall bo celebrated from henceforth on Sundays
and not kept as a holiday on Saturdays.
DIED At Quebec on the 17th ult. Mrs. MARY
MARGARET LAMAR wire of the late Francis Durez-
XO Gazzo of Genoa Italy but for many years a resident
merchant of Canada.
Mrs. Gazzo was a native of the county of Devon
Canada. She has left an affectionate family and a large
" circle of devoted friends to mourn a loss for which Time
has no consolation. This venerable lady was connected
by blood to that worthy republican generation of the
Lamars of the States of Georgia South Carolina and
Kentucky. She lived to witness the growth of a mighty
empire of civilization and Christianity where she had
I found but the rude wilderness and its ruder denizens
and to experience the proudest and purest joy of a
mother's heart to be found in the distinguished vocation
of her son (Dr. Gazzo) among his fellow-mcn in the
noble republican State of Louisiana of which ho is an
eminent physician. The language of eulogy is too com-
monplace for her virtues and the fitting monument of
her memory is in the hearts of those that loved her and
never can forget. Her.numcrous acquaintances through-
out the United States of America will recall her as a
kind and gentle remembrance of the past and regret that
the circle of their friendship is narrowed by her loss. N.

LOS INDIOS.
El Capitan Lewis nos ha informado quo el 21
del corricutc los Iudio? atacaron su casa sobre el
Lago Salado y sc llevaron todos los caballos que
tenia. Tan pronto como cl Capitan Lewis que sc
hallaba ausente de su casa tuvo noticias del robo
rcuuid seis it ocho hombres y sal'id en su persccn
cion y los alcanzaron durante la noche rcscat5
sus caballos y quito uuo 6 dos mas pertenecientes
al enemigo. Los Indios lograron escaparse.
EI Capitan Lewis nos ha informado que la con-
dition de todo el pais cerca del Rio Grande del lado
Americano cs verdedcramente deplorable. Dice
que desdc Brownsville a Laredo esceptuando los
pueblos dc Ciudad Rio Grande y Roma toda esa
seccion del pais esta completamente abandonada y
quecasi todos los habitantes sc ban refujiado en las
frouteras dc Mejico ; asi cs que todo cse hcrmoso
pais que poco ha sc hallaba cubierto de vegas y
ranchos comparativamentc bien poblado hoy no es
masque mi desierto.
El Tcnientc Walker segtm las ultimas noticias
que tenemos de.dl se hallaba en la procsimidad de
los Indios mas alii dc Sulphur Sjiring. Sus caba-
llos estaban bien canzados pero dicen que la jente
que llevaba estaba muy animada con el prospecto de
pronto alcanzar a los Barbaras y que ban espresado
la determination de seguirlos a pie cuaudo ya no
les sirvan los caballos.
El sabado pasado una partida de cosa de cien
Indios atacaron el rancho del Alazan mataron a
n n hombre (un mejicano Uainado Miguel Boca-
Ncgra) y tres caballos llcvindose 25 mas y cosa de
cien reses. El mayordomo del rancho D. Bias
Maria Falcon escapd milagrosamente con vida
pues Ie persiguieron cast hasta la casa y a vista de
el se sentaron a guisar y comer su almuerzo. En
cuanto sc fueron se did parte de este atropellamien-
to a la Tulosa en donde se hallaba estacionada una
partida de Rangers bajo el mando del Teniente
Aikens. Estos inmediatamente salieron pero a
consecuencia de una equivocation del gnia erra-
ron el rastro y regrcsaron sin haber visto a los
Indios.
NOTICIAS BE MEJICO.
' Por via de Nucva-Orleans tenemos noticias dc
Veracruz hasta el 7 del "corriente y de la capital
del 2.
El Zcmpoalteca del 29 de Mayo refiriendose &
la revolution de la Sierra dice que al fin -puede
anunciarsc que cl cancer qne estaba devorando las
entranas dc la rcpublica ha sido cortado mediante
un convenio celcbrado entre D. Eleuterio Quirds
y cl jeiicral en jefe de las fuerzas mejicanas. Sin
embargo vemos que los habitantes de San Luis
Potosi estaban muy amedrcntados con la proximidad
dc los Indios a fines de Mayo.
EI Arco Iris del dia 5 dice sobrc esto particular
lo siguientc :
"Las noticias que hemos rccibido de snjetos
vcraccs y bien impucstos en los sucesos dc la
Sierra confirman el triste convcncimicnto que
tenemos de que esta todavia muy Iejana la com-
pleta pacification dc la Sierra. Se exajcra cl
numero de las fuerzas que obran sobre los serranos
la clase pobre dc los Estados invadidos por facciosos

desertion muy notable y en las opcracionesmJlitarcs

tion que scrirtn de desearsc. Con tan malos ele-
mentos csa cscandalosa sublevacion se pronlogara
quien sabe por cnauto tiempo mas si no se adoptan
medidas mas cuerjicas y cficaces que las tomadas
hasta aqui."
El gcbicrno mejicano ha dispuesto recicntemente
dar medallas de honor a las persouas que por su
comportamicnto se distinguicroii durante cl bom-
bardeo de Veracruz por las fuerzas americanas.
Vemos con mucha satisfaction que el Sr Telesforo
G. de Escalante vice-cdnsul espanol en Veracruz
ha rccibido una 'dc dichas medallas en consideration
