THE HAYMAKERS.—A large, intelligent and fashionable audience complimented the Independent Club at Greencastle last evening. The Club rendered tbe Haymakers in a style as near faultless as it is possible for amateurs to attain, and the performance was greeted with frequent and enthusiastic applause. This, we believe, is the last excursion the Club proposes to make.

LOST.—Mr. Jordan, of the Journal, and Mr. John Jones, of Jones & Jones, went out at daylight yesterday morning, each bearing a bushel basket, for the purpose of securing a family supply of mushroons. At a late hour last evening they had not returned, and messengers dispatched in all directions failed to gain any information concerning them. Much solicitude was felt by many of their friends, and especially by Mr. John Jones' partner.

THE audience that assembled at the Opera House last evening, to follow Nasby, in his ''Search for Ihe Man of Sin," was not very large, although quite as many were present as could have been expected in a city where amusements and literary entertainments have been furnished in such abundance as we have had of late. The lecture, a very correct sketch of which we printed in the EXPRESS of yesterday, was well received, but hardly realized the high expectations of those who knew the lecturer only as a humorous writer. It is not easy to be funny to order.

"The Spring Cleaning."

The cool weather of this week has set back the semi-annual house cleaning, but we expect that next week it will be inaugurated and prosecuted with vigor. This subject, which just now interests so many of our readers, is one that should be delicately handled, but we believe lull justice has been done by "Sophia Spaikle," a lively writer for the New York Evening Mail, in an article „which we copy in part, below:

Of all the spring epidemics which rage that which is the most prevalent and perhaps the most to be dreaded is the epidemic of house cleaning.

THIS DISEASE,

so fatal to the temporary comfort of every well-regulated household, rags like a fever, and, what is far worse, is contagious.

No sooner is one house turned topsy turvy than its neighbor follows the example, and soon you may call at every door in a neighborhood and be told invariably that the "mistress is not at home or, if some strong minded, independent housewife, docs make her appearance, it is with a broom in her hand with an apron tied over her morning dress, and her hair put up in the most neglige manner imaginable.

She does not apologize, but simply tells you that she is "cleaning house," and you are expected, of course, to understand the exigencies of the case.

Iff®

CONFUSION 0

reigns in every domicil at this season of the year. The household gods are treated in the most remorseless manner, deluged with soap and water, and often obliged to undergo the painful and ignoble operation of being scrubbed.

Carpets are torn up and sent away— poor things!—to be beaten. The pantries and store-rooms arc compelled to give up their contents to the light. Spiders and mice are obliged to vacate their winter quarters without a moment's warning.

Sofas, chairs and other bits of furniture have a most disconsolate air, and are huddled together in the utmosL disorder, and so laden with indescribable articles hat not a seat is available. Pianos, pictures and other articles of rertu are draped in ghostly raiment to protect them from the dust which that inconsid erate object—the broom—is raising on every side.

WORRIMENTS-

And then what curious people are scattered through the house! The painter comes with his odorous (or odious) paint pots the paper-hangors, with their brushes and paste, strewing the floors with scraps of paper which have a horrible penchant for sticking to your feet or clothes the masons who whiten the floor as well as the ceiling, for which you have not bargained and the glaziers, to replace those incorrigible window panes, which become so tired of the monotony of their existence that they break just for the satisfaction of hearing themselves snap.

And then how all these people disappoint you, and worry you, and Keep yon waiting from day to day, and from week to week in the most harrowing suspense, until your patience becomes exhausted, and you feel as though—to use the phrase of perplexed housewives—"you would fly."

But alas! were the wings given with which to accomplish this feat, besides whatever hearth you might fancy to rest your weary pinions, it is to be feared that he same perplexities would also prevail there.

THE CHILDREN.

How the unlucky children are snubbed during these days! Boxed cars and ominous shakings are as plentiful as June roses, although not quite as agreeable to

the recipients. Wherever the little innocents stray, they are sure to fall into some mischief. Stray pots of sweetmeats are left unprotected, which the curiosity of tbe children leads them to slyly inves tigaie, for the little dears have such in quiring minds and, this investigation being finished, they walk away, alas! quite unconscious that their curiously-orna-mented little mouths wickedly betrav been. They have not yet learned to follow their mamma's example of jieeping often into the mirror.

Their careiess little hands or feet are sure to come in woful contact with stray pieces of the best china, va?cs, or glasses which have left their accustomed places to be cleaned. They poke muddy sticks into the snowy pails of the niason they leave little finger-prints upon cbe fresh paint and, in the momentary absence of Bridget, thev tumble into the pails of scrubwater, to the great detriment, at least, of their starched clothes. From an inordinate desire to assist in the general "cleaning" they are found in the drawingroom rubbing the costly pier glass vigorously with the scrubbing brush, or performing the same fatal operation upon tbe gilt frames which surround the family portraits. Day after day the nntortunate, ubiquitous children are lectured— often with practical illustrations— upon the sin of making themselves "busy."

But, as mama does not find any particular occupation for their busy little hands, and as Mother Nature constantly inspires them never to be idle, what but serious consequences should be expected of little ones who have not yet learned to solve that perplexing problem—the distinguishing of righi from wrong.

THE UNFORTUNATE MEN.

It takes a man of angelic temperament to pass quietly through the ordeal of house cleaning. But as, unluokily, the genus homo are not given, as a rule, to angelic dispositions, it follows that this period is apt to be a breezy one. There is little comfort to be found in the house.

The carpets are all up, the smell of paint pervades every room, the furniture is in a blissful state ot confusion, slippers and boots are mislaid, the house wife, poor woman, is apt to be fretful, and the children are continually vacillating be tween alternate delight and despair— delight at finding every moment some new mischief to be into, and despair at suddenly being brought to punishment.

The meals are apt to be irregular, and hastily prepared at that, and Bridget is in that mood which warns you that she will not be hurried, or fretted at.

HAIiD WORK.

Talk about dogs and rabid animals! I should like to see anything more to be dreaded or more unreasonable than the creature man during the days of spring house cleaning. He declares that all this bustle and stir is unnecessary that it is all folly to put every room into disorder, just for tlie satisfaction of putting it to rights ag iin Poor Benedict 1 he is like the spoiled clii:d who does not know what is good for him. But the busy lit tie wife knows. She knows how impor tant it is that every nook and cornr should be thoroughly cleaned before the hot days come on that every article should be brushed and polished, ajgd the winter clothing aired and put away be fore the ad vent of the destroying moth And shemake-sa martyr of herself four or five weeks every year 'hat all this may be accomplished.

If we leave the house and go out into the garden, there is the same amount of work to be performed. Bushes and trees are to be pruned of dead branches the dry rubbish of the preceding year i3 to be gathered in piles for bonfires and the ground is to be prepared for seed, and when the weeds spring up in profusion they are to be carefully rooted out.

The garden is subjected to as thorougli a cleaning as the house. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CASE.

Perhaps there is no remedy for this amount of annual labor. Spring seems to be the appointed time for the corn mencement. of houekeeping. Nature plainly indicates this, for as soon as the young green leaves peep forth the birds set about building their nests, the busy little ant constructs her curious home be neath the garden walk, the spider leaves his dark nook in thekitchen or cellar and wetves a new and shining web among the bushes, the bee prepares her cells for the honey, and even the worm wraps itself in its cocoon, preparing to emerge glorious ly. And every spring the good housewife commences housekeeping anew. Everything is freshened and made neat Old and worn-out articles are replaced by those which are new and beautiful or, il new things cannot be had, the old ones are made to aasume a fresh aspect. The carpet is turned that it may appear bright er the furniture is newly polished, and the picture frames regilded.

ANOTHER SIDE.*:V

But is it not strange that with all this cleansing, this clearing away of rubbish this purifying and readjusting of the outer material world, that no pains are taken, no thought bestowed upon purify ing the inner man? Who thinks of brushing the sordid dust of the world from off the soul? Who thinks ot plucking out bodily the weeds and tares which spring up in the heart? What a blessing it would be to the world at large if every mortal should set apart some portion of every year lor getting rid of the rubbish which will accumulate in the mind and heart, and for polishing into new life those virtues which render life admirable. What if Mrs. R. should devote as much time to governing that quick tem per of hers as she does to setting her house in order?

What if Mrs. B. could teach herself to regard her neighbor's possessions without feelings of envy? What if Mr. II. should cease to deal fraudulently in his business affairs and if Mr. J. should cease to op press the poor, that he may thereby enrich his own purse? What if Benedick L. should learn to leave all his ill-temper in the street, when he crosses the threshold of his home should clear his face from frowns as carefully and as habitually as he clears the dust from his feet at the door.

What if Father Mildew should cease to hoard up his gold to find his sole pleasure in counting it and should scatter it abroad that it might bring comfort to cheerless hearths, instead of lying hard and cold in his coffers? Why should we so assiduously pluck the weeds from the garden, and still suffer them to grow rank in the heart?

Ah! little housewife, busy with your broom and duster, forget not that there are unseen nooks and corners to be swept of that which defiletb more than the common dust of Mother Earth.

Ye who carefully brush the cobwebs from your ceilings, brush them also away from your eyes, that you may look out upon the world with undimmed vision, beholding misery which you may alleviate, and quicksands which you may avoid.

Let the inner temple be purified as well as the outer dwelling, so shall home become the sweet center of all affection— the true paradise on earth.
