U A show of marriageable young women takes place annually among the Rou man- ians. As the time for the fair approaches the fathers whose children are marriage- able collect what they can afford as a dowery, Whatover this consists of, itis packed, if possible, into a cart or carriage, andon the appointed day they all-fath- ers, children, and chattels-start for some trysting place, generally chosen among the western mountains of Transylvania When the fair is opened, the fathers climb to the top of their carriages, and shout with the whole power of their lungs, \I have a daughter to marry, - Who The call is answered by some other parent who has a son he is anxious to pair off. The two parents compare notes, and if the marriage por- wants a wife ?\ tion is satisfactory, the treaty is there and then concluded. The young man takes possession of his wife with all her goods and chattels, and drives off merri- ly. If, on theother hand, the match is not equal, or for some other reason un- satisfactory, then theparents begin to cry their live merchandise oncemore. GIRLS SHOULD LEARN TO KEEP HOUSH. No young lady can be too well instruct- ed in anything which will affect the com- | er. Whatever position in society she occupies, she needs a practical Bhe may be placed in stich circumstances that it will not be for her to perform much domestic labor; but on this account she needs no less knowledge than if she was obliged to preside personally over the cooking stove and pantry. Indeed, I have thought it was more difficult to di- rectothers, and requires more experience than to do the same work with our own fort of a family. knowledge of household duties. hands. Mothers are frequently sonice and par- ticular, that they do not like to give up any part of the care to their children. This is a great mistake in their manage- ment, for they are often burdened with labor and need relief. Children should be early taught to make themselves use- ful; to assist their parents every way in their power, and to consider it a privilege , to do so. Young persons cannot realize the im- portance of a thorough knowledge of housewifery; but those who have suffered the inconveniences and mortification of ignorance cau well appreciate. it, Chil dren should be early indulged in their disposition to bake and experiment in It is often but a trouble- some help that they .a.fl’ord; still it is a great advantage to them. - I know a little girl who at ning years old made a loaf of bread every week during the winter. Her mother taught her how much yeast, salt | every quarter of o million of dollars. And and flour to use, and she became quite an Whenever she is disposed to try hor skill in making simply cakes or pies, she is permitted to do so. Bhe is thus, while amusing herself, learning an important lesson. Her mother calls hor her little housekeeper, and often permits her to got what is necessary for the table. She hangs her keys by her side, and very lucation musical is the jingling to her ears.

It seems to me a good arrangeme@nt and a most useful part of their education. Do- mestic labor is by np means incompatible with the highest degree of refinement and mental culture. Many of the most. ele- gant, accomplished women I have known have looked well wtkeirhouaehold duties, and have honored themselves and their husbands in so doing. Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and neatness of the kitchen, have a great deal to do in making life happy and prosper, ous. The charm of good housekeeping is in order, economy and taste displayed in attention to little things; and these things have a wonderful influence. A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driven many a ona from homeo to seok comfort and happiness somewhere else. None of our excellont girls are fit to be married until they ars thoroughly edu- cated in the deop and profound mysteries of the kitchen. COMMODORE VANDERBLILT®S WIFE. The papers furnith considerable gossip agbout Commodore Vanderbilt's new wife. A seaside correspondent writes: 'You doubtless have heard that Com- modore Vanderbilt, the veteran, the white- haired, patriarchal railroad king, was on- gaged some weeks ago to a benutiful young girl Ican tell you more, The Commodore is married to a beautiful young girl - For \they say,\ and the '\they'' ought to know. I have it in a straightforward way. The man who was told by the man who know the man who was a witness at the ceremony told me! Is not this direct enough to suit the most particular as regards tho trath of his cor- respondent's statements? The wedding was a private affair, I understand, at Long Branch. The lady-and here's somo romance,. Listen. Not many months ago, the Commodore's son fell desperately in love with the charm ing daughter of one of thacity's officers. - But for some reason or other, the farther was unwilling that the young man should wed the charming young lady, and there was sorrow and tears and coldness as a result. At longth the young man sickened and died. The young lady then, for the first time, became known to the firm old fath- The latter, in spite of himself, was pleased, then charmed, then in love as strong and deep as a youth of twenty. By presents at firsfi’, then attentions, then the offer of his hand, his heart, and the \keys of his chest,\ was his love shown. Each was accepted, and so the charming young lady becamé@ the wife of a Vander- bilt. As good as she is beautiful, the world says of her. And a gallant knight is the hale old Commodore. Amoxg the ablest of the English \ free- thinkers\ is Frances Power Cobbe, whom .Mr. Ripley portrays for the Tribune He says: 'The love of flowers is a passion with the English of both sexes, and Miss Cobbs forms no exception to the national taste. Her manners have a pecular cordiality, for which trait her countrymen perhaps do not always receive due credit. In conversation she is joyous, fluent, animated in the ex- treme, and eminently instructive, though without a trace of podantry or learnod dis- | play. Bhe by no means affects the charac- ter of a strong-minded woman, and has not yet taken a decided part with Mr. Stuart Mill, and our indomitable American reform- ers, in their advocagy of female guffrage.\ o ------4 Gp G-» @ We trust that it iq truco, as reported, that General Cisneros has got out of Cuba with $2,000,000 in gold.
