riIA.K$GIVIG I. Tili: COt.V TR1. llcau Ilackelt Ilscovcrs his Unfitness lor the Enjoyment of Rural Comforts. To the Editor of tho Chicago Times : For the sake of variety I spent a fev hours ia the SDintry fcCently, and I think an account of what I experienced will be devoured with avidity by your numerous readers. As a general thing my accounts are more iutcrcstirg to other people than they are to myself so my creditors say, at least, and they ought to knovr. For the ensuing details of my heart-rending adventures, therefore, you are indebted solely to my reliance Cion the judgment and veracity cf those men whom I make it the study of my life to avoid. Thanksgiving day in the country there's nothing like it! I passed the day in the hamlet of Harlem, that romantic and inexpressibly beautiful place, the location of which cannot be mor3 favorably described than by saying that it is mvrc than three hundred and fifty miles north of

Cairo, nor more unfavorably described than b' Saying that it is in the same county with the town called Chicago. I happened to be passing through Harlem ou a railroad train about a year ag?, Vfhen a turkey cock, a rare old fellow, of most magnificent plumage, mounted a fence and gave utterance to a dim, religious gobble. I spotted him at once, I knev he was loyal, and 1 said to myself, confidentially, that turkey i-j a goner. If ever the president proclaims another Thanksgiving day that pooler will be gobbled (said I to inyselt) and I think I will participate in the destruction of his carca'Ä. It is hardly necessary f.r me to say that for mouths my whole mind (whicb is a good deal) has been occupied by that! turkey. I have seen him in my dreams, and in my solitary lonely hours, when I have sought to bury myself in deep meditation, visions of his pious and impressive countenance have haunted me coutiually. I last no opportunity to cultivate the acquantance of the good people of Harle.11. lor I knew that Thanksgiving would come some day if not before, and I knew that that turkey would be abolished. I had mercenary designs upo the Harlemitcs, and 1 succeeded in accomplishing my diabolical purposes beyond my most sanguinary expectations. I b came acquainted with ail Harlem in a single day. I met the inhabitants of that ancient rural spot. when they were enjoying an excursion to the city, and was introduced all round. I invited them to drink, which they didn't. I took great pride in showing them thro' the city. I descanted upon the residence which I expected to occupy at a future period too distant to mention, and they said it was beautiful. They all prayed for the president and me, and when they said "amen," I said "turkey.' I leave you to imagine what my mind was running upon. I received an invitation from a good old soul a farmer 'to come out some day and dine with him. I accepted the invitation, and told my benefactor that if it would bo convenient for himself, I would make my appearance at his house next thanksgiving day. II" nras delighted with my proposition so is I we werc both delighted, to wha4 extent it U impossible for mj, with my mean descriptive powers to portray. I went to Harlem and Icnjoycd Thanks giving. I prepared for a grand pplurgcj every diamond that glittered in my domes tic mine was required for the occasion; a new ruffled shirt, and a new ilk vest, be sides numerous other tt ceh-rat, were orlered and on hand promptly. I went out in grand style, and was met iu state by the august gentleman who had invited me to dine with him. Behind and very near him came a bevy of bewitching beauties, one of whom I learned was his daughter. I learned this extraordinary fact throvgh the simple manner in which she designated him, "Pa." After looking at the old fellow closely, I thought if lie had been my father I would have called him "pa" and added an "h." I rather liked the girl, though; she was a charming creaturo what there was of her, and t'.crc was plenty of her such as she was. Her pale ryes and blue face ftrnck me forcibly, and I may say frankly, that I regarded her with more concern thau was becoming a wan of my station and responsibilities. I was received in the kindest manner possible by the entire family tho delicate daughter particularly. It did not require a lon" time foi me to ascertain that I was not thoroughly acqua;nted with all the cuatoms of tho rural districts. "When I called for a wrvant to gerapo the mud fror piy boots, ono of thft youngrat branches of tho parent trßö said "To h ! you mut scrape your own boots." J scraped them. By and by dinner was set. The family gathrd aratmc. m m if I had Kq 3

ambassador from a great nation. On motion of the "gentleman of the house," seconded by his wife, and carried by an unanimous vote of the family, I was compelled to sit at the head of the table and do the carving.. I accepted the responsible position with reluctance. I observed that everybody about the table thought I was a little green, and I knew that I must resort to a rw. (or, as the exigencies cf the case required the superlative degree, a ruse ter), in order to prevent their making sport of me. 1 seated myself slowly and sadly and solemnly, and taking a pair of spectacles from n?y pocket (a pair I had borrowed for the occasion) I began to wipe them in an austere manner. The young ladies looked atme in amazement. When I had become convinced that I had removed every particle of dust from the glasses, I quietly passed them to the old gentleman on my right; then the sweetest giggle J ever heard ran all around the table, Ö, I was fearfully green. Next I took a book from my bosom po.'ket entitled "Hoyle's Games." Turkey being game, I thought the book would assist me in carving. Is that a "testyment V inquired the lady of the house, glancing suspiciously from beneath a matronly cap. "No ma'iii' said I "that's not a testyment; it i-i a work ou the anatomy of the fowl called the turkey, written by a fowl Turk." The old lady looked mystified and simmered down. Then I went to work. I carved uianfttlly for one mortal hour, during which time I was goaded incessantly by t lie unmitigated giggles of my female eoipanions. Frequently I referred to the book before me, and derived great benefit therefrom, inasmuch as the voung ladies were so complctely taken ak ick by seeing a young man carve after the instructions of a directory that tuey were compelled to suppress their laughter momentarily. At last the turkey part of the repast v.'as finished you never saw a Thankubiving dinner that didn't lead oif with turkey, I'll bet and called f r a u'ass of ale. The young lady with the pale eyes said "T sh!" It shed quicker than Tght-

mug. "What's the maiie," said I, when the excitement had subsided. " Pa is a templar," said thc young lady with the blue complexion, "and he don't like folks that drink." "Can't vou give me a glass of cider, then," I inquired meekly. "T sh !" said the young lady. And 1 t shed again. "The Templars don't allow their mem bers to drink cider," said the innocent female with the pale faced eyes, "but you may eat all the apples you want' ""Bully," 1 exchiiined, "bring mc all the apples in the world, I'll get drunk on apple immediately." 1 expected the young lady would t sh but she didn't. When dinner had been dispatched, the old gentleman became dreadfnlly familiar with me. I. by a strange coincidence, ( became marvelously familiar with his beloved daughter. The old gentleman asked mc to visit his hot-house and look at his flowers. I consented. The fragile daughter consented also, and she and I walked in the rear of the old gentleman, arm in arfri. "This is the most beautiful flower j have in my collection," said my elderly host, showing mc a rare exotic, "I agree with you perfectly," said I, gazing into the beaming eyes of mv fair companion, which mark of esteem, I may say, she reciprocated, by gating into my beaming eyes. "The stem, you will observe," said he, is very dlicatr. "Extremely slender," I replied, placing my arm gently around the maiden's waist. She looked up and sighed like a bucket of fresh milk. "I planted this flower myself," said thc old man, "and I like it." ".So do I," was my prompt response, "and thc more I see it the better I like it." With that I pressed the fond creature still nearer to my bosom. "My wife wants me to r( move it to another house," he continued, "but I think I will let it remain where it is all winter." 'GJory, hallelujah !" I exclaimed in my joy, "let it stay here forever." 1 spoke a little too loud; my eestaey betrayed me, the old man looked up, and O, horror! such a scene as ensued shall never be able to describe. The gold spectacles that adorned the god-like forehead of my obliging patron were dashed into two or three thousand atoms; the rare exotio" was crushed to the earth, and the hothouse resounded with maddening shrieks. I can only remember one remark that the old man used; that was a quotation from Lord Ullin, "My daughter, 0, my daughter." I ran. I say it candidly. I skedaddled. I felt that I had all the enjoyment incident to a country life that I was entitled toandaged parntnnd trTrctiomt yonujr

Yours undeviatingly, BEAU HACKETT. Girls .Should Learn to Keep No young girl can be two well iastructed in anything which will affect the comfort of a family. Whatever bositionin socfcty she occupies, she needs a practical knowledge of household duties. Sh he may be placed in euch circumstances that it will not be necessary for her to perform such domestic labor; but on this account she needs no less knowledge than if she were obliged to preside personally over the cooking stove aud pantry. Indeed, I have often thought it was more dif.icult to direct others, and requires more experience than to do the .iame work with! our own hands. "Mothers are frequently so nice aed par-

"I kuow a little girl who ii nine years made a loaf ' of broad every week through the winter. Her mother taught her how much yeast. 'and salt'and flour to! use, and she became quite an 1 Xpert baker. Whenever she is disposed to try her skill in making simple cakes or pies she is permitted to do so. She is thus, while amuing herself, learning an important lesson. Her mother calls her little housekeeper, and often permits her to get what is necessary for tho table. She hangs the keys by her side, and very musical the jingling is to her c:;rs. I think befujci she is out of her teens, uporf which sho ! has not vet entered, she will have some idea how to cook. "Some mothers give their daughters the care of hausekeepers, eac h a week by turns. It seems to mc a good arrangement, and a most useful part of their education. "DoLicrtic labor is by no meas incompatible with th$ highest degree of rtfinencut and meutal culture. Many of the most elegant, accomplished women I have ever known have looked well to their household duties, aud have honored themselves and their husbands by so doing." Thus far froni Anna Hope; and who Anna Hope is we kuow hot, but one thing we are sure of; she is not wise above what is written. Solomon sing thc praises of a good w ife in Proverbs, xxxi. Girls will you read it? Begin at verse 10. Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and neatness in the kitchen, have a great deal to do in making life happy and prosperous. The charm of good housekeeping is in thc order, the economy and taste displayed iu attention to little things; and these things have a wonderful influence A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driven many a one from home to seek m comfort and happiness somewhera else. None of our excellent girls arc fit to be married until they are thoroughly educated in the deep ami profound mysteries ot the kitchen.

From the Londeu Society Magazine we extract the following bit of Swits gos.dp: "while hunting after scenes and sights, it will bo wise to take warning by the fatal accidents which occur amidst the Alps almost every summer. Switzerland occupies a certain small space ou the map ol Europe; but practically Switzei land is duplicated. Tbcre are two Switzerland.--, thc upper and thc lower, the accessible and the hard of access; Switiciland en earth aud Switzerland in the clouds. The one may be agreeably journeyed through by ladis, elderly folks, and quiet people in general; the other is thc haunt of chamois hunters and members of the Alpine Club. Still there is an attractive mid region, (allowing a near approach to and a closer view of forbidden sports and unattainable wonders,) which may be visited without importance by persons who will relinquish perilous ascents and passages which; even if accomplished, lead to uo useful results, either practical or scientific, but merely add to thc tourist's capital ol brag. "Very go6d indications to these wilder and vet not too hazardous art uiven in Hacker's excellent luminal. They are well worth seeing, fur description faiU to give any adequate conception of the e fleet ol grand niouutain scenery. While gazing at it you experience a combination of sensual gratification to the eye and intellect ual excitement to thc mind which can no more be described than certain tastes or bodily sensations. Thc rocky wilderness is often rendered comfortable by the woo'len hotels, which arc on the increase Some of them are by no means small; they are not bousos, but threo decker arks, h?Ut to t!?!3:s en dry hnl isrtnd :

Though you do net hear tic tea waves splash, you may often listen to the waters rüshinzanä the winds Voarin" in thc rigi"? aloft, V. c, in the broad expanse of roof, weathercocks atd spouts. These arks, too are ballasted like other vessels, Vah the difference that the load of stones i placed aloft instead of in the hold, without fear of makinz the ship capsize. "Amongst tho' Alps there is nothing like wood; everything (except tea kettles end frying-pans) is supposed capable of being made of wood. Wcocn liuucs, with wooden walls and wooden roofs, idieltor men who cat with wooden spoons and forks, and whose virtues are recorded on wooden gravestones. A Swiss dandy will even show his patriotism by wearing woodcn buttons on his 5un J.iv clothe?. When the carriage road etnsc's in thc A!ps, tbcre arc two sale ways ot travelling further on foot find in chairs carried by ielays of men. The latter is expensive, and will hardly employed for long distance". Saddle horses and mules are to be had in plenty. They will often carry you well and safely, but will occasionally fail you at the most critical point, especially if you are not used to their ways and weaknesses. When th : stream of tourists is at its fullest rush, a horse which has performed a fair journey in harness, and has been S3 employed for weeks, with no r. st but rainy days; will be taken out of a carriage, fi'.ted with a saddle, and forthwith placed at your service. What can you expect frou s ich a hack as that ?"' wlio Should ?lale the Eirst Adranees Towards I'eace, It is a precept of the Christian religion and it is a whoiesom? ictulcation of all writers upon 1 ublic or personal morals, that those who will make the greatest sac rifice to become rcroneiio 1 to their brethren, arc most worthy of commendation.
