For our "lady of the Lake" we hatl
th laasie "May" wh though the has
but ame over the border" into her
teens, can manage a boat like Ellen
heiself. or like she may some day man
ace a husband (at leant I hop so). For
the cliffs a very gazelle is she. "a etep
more light a foot more true, near from
the heath flower dashed the dew.' -and
withall a rjiavklins; little companion,
who m v put vour elates for Jin an
swer 1o her ' bright inle'ligence. It
would require too much space to des
scribe our varied pleasures in that week's
A-ili wood rustication. Th long Au
gust day were not long enough to com-
"ass our delights, notwithstanding we
ooked to a merrv evening round the
camp fire; usually finished by a torch
light procession to the top of the cliff to
watch the train sweep round a not dis
tant curve on the Western X. C. with
iu headlight gleaming in the darkness,
like a coronet with a star bespangled
train. We learned that trick of climbing
the cliff to see ti e cars pass, from hiar
dogship, Mr. Dot, a young pointer that
used to scamper up the cliff In great
haste at the sound of the whistle, and
gaze with all his intelligent eyes. We
had four other bo j s besides the dog.
Master Sid was our mascotte. Who
ever wanted fish for dinner engaged him
for a companion. Master Otis, our
musician, who "came to grief" in the
pond, with his good clothes on; Mas
ter Ralh who did every thing he was
told, aud a good deal he was c ; Mas
ter Henry to catch minnows,aud some
thing besides, for rocking the boat. Then
a dwarf henchman, George, to keep out
of the way when wanted, which ta&k lie
performed, without a Muuder. The last
evening, we spent in a loat. floating
down the Catawba, ostensibly fishing
for auy demented fish inclined for a late
supper, but in reality, for the enjoy
ment of the river breeze, the music of
the waters, and beauty of the summer
night. Then last, the sleep, after hav
ing prolonged every other enjoyment
into the "small hours" of the "stilly
night.'. In my rabbles I lost sight ot
the dear Household, for a goodly por
tion of my mail was lost; but I caught
on the wing the promise of N. L. II. to
write me. I already . owe to the magic
ol your pen, dear madam; something
more lasting and true, than passing
pleasure. Then let me be still more deep
ly indebted.
Sensitive Plant, I have been waiting,
aud watching for you at the door of our
Household. Thrice I . welcome you.
twice for your ainsel my dear, and again
for your chai ming letter,
Veritas, - I have long meditated a
friendly passage at arms with you, for
impeaching the good taste that pro
nounced your letters agreeable and enter
taming. For me they hold an addition
al charm for the sake of the "Green
Isle."

for
Mr. Editor whom I am not going to

For tlie F. k at. Household.
Newbern, Oct. 8, '83.
Having beeu remembered in Judith's
witty roil call of the Household, I take
up my pen for fear I M-ay B-e C-ome
forgotten, and propose to use it to-day
in defeace of a dead giant, who, by the
pens of pigmies, is being, in my humble
opinion, most grossly misrepresented.
I have just beeu reading that most fas
cinating book. "Letters And Memo
rials of Jane Welsh Carlyle,' and have
formed an opinion diametrically oppo
site that lately expressed by soaae mem
ber of the Household respecting Carlyle,
and his treatment of his wife. That she
loved him with all the ardor of her im
pulsive, irritable, self-tormenting nature
is evident all the way through to the
most casual observer, aud it seems to
me equally evident that she was to him
the oue woman iu the world, and that
their union was one of soul and heart.
Both were geniuses, and neither can be
judged by the judgement meted to com
mon place folks. She was a martyr to
disordered digestion and nervous irrita
bility, and had a wonderful power of
of self revelatiou. In her letters she
tells every emotion as well as every in
cident; atone moment she shows her
self on the sofa happy that her husband
is out of the house, feeling
"I would not, if I might, be blest
I want no paradise but rest,''
The next she is writing to his mother
thanking her, in the first place, lor h:iv-
a ae-a
mg oeeu icma enougn to promice ner
husband, and uext for sending him back
to her. "You have others; 1 have only
him in the whole wide, wide world to
love me and take care of me. poor little
wretch that I am, not but that numbers
of people love me after their fashion far
better than I deserve, but then hid laIi-
lon is so different irom all these, and
seems alone to suit the crotchety crca-
that I am."
They were both "crotchety," botli
highly nervous, both irritable aud both
Scotch, which expresses a great deal
when we remember that Carl vle's moth
er said of him that he was "ill to have,
but worse to want." That is to be with
out. These letters are the most pathet
ic and touching story of the trials, both
mental and physical, of a highly-strung
woman of genius, struggling with ner
vous . excitability consequent ou bad
health, and the frett;ug cares of a house
hold in which there . was little money,
and oyer which there presided an equal
ly ..nervous, excitable man of genius
struggling, as he says, "in th throes of
MWlt yea wish to employ a Lady 1 escher, '
tlif French Revolut' tn. heavy' lailon hi
many ways and pl.oniy of mind.'4 She

agaitist 'things in general." with tlie old
emphasis, with iucrea-Henl. vehemence
just at present, ucinj m tne ngopiew n
getting under way -with amrther boolr-.
Mrs. Carlyle loved, her husband andj
was proad of him. "ind the ugh with lurr arid laiglxr. while from oue peak w
elf tormenting nature, she made her
self miserable by her very love for him,
I do not believe she ever once inbis
whole married life thought of him a
domestic tyrant, and this is the rolebei
is now being made to till by t-rsons
who look only at his nervous suscepti
bility aud utterly ignore her rraphic
power of reproducing every event aiid
emotion in a highly dramatic manner for j
the amusement of the friends to whom,
she was writing. If he did "ramiiage"
through the sleeping house hftrf the
night, or if it was day time. snuJtreuly
break out of his study, declaring he !
could neither "think nor live" while the
necessary noise of the house was going
on, she in her turn would be driven
equally frantic by the ordinary sountfof
night, and find "that dog unendurable, '
or declared she mut shorten her visit to
a friend if a certain ass could not 'be
prevented from braying under her win
dow. Mrs. Oliphant. who knew both parties
and seems to have been a sincere friend
on whom Mrs. Carlyle greatly relied,
says of them. "The curious household it
was the mistress, brilliant,
caustic, never to be calculated upon what
next she might do or say : the husband
laboring heavily through his work, fry
ing every room m succession, fiinlil
everything unsatisfactory. A wonder
ful Northern Gothic couple, blazing off
into thunder and lightning of sudden
fierce wrangle, with volleys of .rolling
words, far too mighty for the occasion,
fire and dame and the smoke of battle,
and laughter ringing through. Xo wonder
that people misunderstood them !" In
one of her letters to her cousin. Miss
ITele-tf Welsh, she says' "the name of
Welsh (that is the bearers, of it) has
something iu it wholly and everlasting
ly antipathetical to patience and tolera
tion, aod i no mere capable of coalescing
with it than fire with water." t
When I remember Carlyles remark
about the English nation heinjf VMaistly
fules" (mostly fools) aDd read her jocosely
expressed tear that instead of "ladies anJ
gentlemen" he will commence his lecture.'
with "men and women," "or perhaps
fool creatures come here for diversion."
I caDDOt but feel that Mrs. Oliphant is
rijtht when she fays, "This man had the
helpmeet most meet for him," and that
the theory ol "ao unhappy murrrnre vH 1i
love worn out on One side and never x
isted on the the other, is as nnaocouun
ble as any undiscovered hieroglyphic ever
was."
Harper Brothers have just issued a
new edition of these letters in Literary
form, certainly oue of the most fascina
ting books I have lately come across As
a writer, the wite, in her way, was e iua
to the husbaud in his. but it seeuis to n.e
a horrible outrasre on the memory ot both
to have thas laid bare the secrets of their
home, or what should have been such,
to all but the friends to whom these let
ters were written. What woman would
like to have all her irritable utterancs on
her neighbors for borrowing and never
returning household articles, her coin
ments on their shutlessness or her
spats with her servant on the discovery
of bed bugs in her bed. reported to the
public, much less to have her husband
judged by her pettish utterances when
suffering from itl health or nervous ex
citability, and from them branded a
"tyrant;" yet this injustice has leu
done to Mrs. Carlyle. M. 15. C.

For the F. a M. Household.
Raising Chickens Before they are

There has recently been some talk io
the Household about the helpless stu
pidity of some 'people, in mathematics.

auy thing could learu arithmetia. But I
found, fome pupiln helpifaHyt dull be
cause their minds were ,hopelesly
dwarfed by cureless tea'ching and study
ing. 'A modest, self-posseased, we'l

tered a school in which I va.t teaching.
After he priiicipal . had. f xamined and

school of one hundred, she was always
ihe most tastefully dressed girl, 'anil her
manners wore pleasant. Here, thought
L tlu motherjs .taiuing stopped, the
rest wa left t caieles-. teachers. ""
It fe'l t my lot once to examine a
"new girl.' I asked her if she could
tell me what a pnijM-r fracfon was.
hu very promptly i;ave me the correct
answer I asked her then to give me
an example. She seemed not to under
stand. I repeated the question, and af-
' r-r a little, iiesitauon s.'ie sum. "a dog

j why 'ie gave this inU al f any other
. aliMird answer, but alter further exaini-
I nation I found she lial been studying

curred, the answer beiiiij always a sen
tence of some kind. 1 put hei to study

I insisted oil it. but
he never got as far
; HS a ,ilf (n .
I knew (UiiiU.t r girl, who. on leaving
school, told her fi lends that !ie expect
ed 'o be married soon. "Why,"' said
oue, "you are not ready to marry. If
the market man telU you his chickens
are 12 i eta. each, you can't tell how
much you ought to give him for three.
What will you do in such a easel'"
"liaise my own chickens," was the
ready renly. I am sure that girl could
have learned arithmetic if she had start
ed right.
Tliis reminds me of a little incident
that occiined th.j other day in a district
school not far off. A boy went up to
the teacher's desk w i'h a history in his
hand, and asked her what B. C. meant.
She explained thai it was an abbrevia
tion for Helore Chrit, and that it was
prefixed to cer'niu dates to distinguish
them lrom thoe with A D. pretlxed.
"Anil now," she continued, "can you
tell me what A. I. stands fori'"
"Yes'm; After the Devil," he replied
without a moments' hesitation, and
with a serious air. '
Are any members of the Household
teachers? If not, I fear I may seem
prosy. But let me say one thing more
while we are talking of schools aud
scholars, ami then I will have done.
What I am going to say may be set
down u educational hereuy, but I will
say it nevertheless. English grammar,
as it has generally been taught, ought
to be root d out of ur preparatory
school. With the present system of
text books, its place is amongst the
put a child to studying Fnglish gram
mar. And now I have done.

Presently he told her that the motion

now; how bright tbe flowers v rowing on
them, and huw tall tbe rushes ! Now
the boat was out at sea, but thump
smoothly on. And now there was a

Old Anthony, dressed iu his usual
clothe, was in the room beside the ta -

his solitary friend ; and on his livid face,
ana on nis norny nanus, ana in nis giasvy
eyes, ana trauea ny an eternal linger id
the very drops of sweat upon his brow,
wa one word Death! He spoke to
them in something of bis own voice, too,
but sharpened and made hollow, like a
dead man's lace. What he would have
said, God knows. He seemed to uttei
word.-, but they were such as map had
never beard. And this was the most
fearful oirouui&tauce of all, te see him
standing iheie, gabbling iu an uuearthly
tongue. They put him iu bis easy chati
and wheeled it near tbe opeu window;
theu. setting open the door, exposed him
