And E2ie emu and stood by Mr. Thornton. Her face was crimson; her eyes flooded with tears, tluough which liht was flash ing; her form drawn up erectly; her manner resolute. "It isn't all my fa nit," Fhe said, ai sh.e hid her hand on her father's arm. "IVe asked mother a great many times to let me help her, but she always puts me oJf, and says it's easier to do a thing herself than to shoxr another. Maybe I am a little dull bat ex-cry ono has to learn, you know. Mother didn't get her hand in fairly with that machine for two or three weeks ; I am certain it won't take nie any 'omr. If she'd only teach p.ie how to use it I could help her a great deal. And, indeed, father, I am willing-." "Spoken in right spirit, my daugh ter," said Mr. Thornton, approvingly. "Girls should be as useful as boys.and in the very things most likely to be required of them when they .become women in the responsible positions of wives and mothers. Depend upon it EfSe, an idle girlhood Is not the way to a cheerful womanhood. .Learn and do lKn', the things that -will to to J quired of you in after years, and then vou will Jiave an acquired facility. Habit and skill will make easy what might come hard, and bo felt aa very burdensome." "And you would have her abandon all self-improvement." said Mrs. Thornton. "Give up music, reading, society , "There ai'e,B said Mr. Thornton, as hia wife paused for another word, "some fifteen or sixteen hours of each day, in which mind or hands should be rightly employed. Now, let us see how Effle is spending these long and ever recurring periods cf time. Ootne, my daughter, Bit dowu ; we have this subject fairly before us. It is one of great importance to you, and should be xvell considered. How is it in re gard to the employment of your time? Take yesterday for instance. The re cords of the work of a day will help m to get towards the result after which we are now searching. " Efilo sat down, and Mr. Thornton drew a chair in front of his wife and daughter. "Take yesterday, for instance," said the father, "hoxv xtas it spent? You rose at seven, I think." "Yes, sir; I came down just as the bre-ikfaet bell was rung," replied Ellis. "And your mother was up at half past five, I know, and complained of feeling so weak that he could hardly dret3 herself. But. lor all this, she xx38 at xvork until breaktast time. Now, if you had risen at six, and shared your mother's work until sev en, you won id have taken an hour from her diiy's burdens, and certainly lost nothing from your umsic, self hn pro Yemen t or gocia.1 intercourse. How xvas it after breakfast? How xvus the morning spent?" "I practiced au hour on the piano after breakfast." "So far so good. What then?" "I read the 'Cavalier' till eleven.'' Mr. Thornton shook his head and tuked : "After eleven how was the time spent?" "1 dressed myself and went out a little after twelve o'clock." "An hour was epeut in dressing?" "Yes, sir." "Where did yoa go?" 'I called on Helen Boyd, and we took a walk down Broadway." "And cmiib home just in time for dinner? I think I met you at the door?" "Yes, sir." "How was It after dinner?" "I slept from three until fixe, and then took a baih and dressed myte.f. From six until tea-time I tat at th parlor window." "And tei?" "Head the 'Cavalier till I went to bed." "At what hour?" "Eleven o'clock. "Now, xvc can miikc up the account,' said Mr. Thornton. "Vou rose at seven and retired at eleven sixteen lion re. And from your own account of the day, but a single hour xvas spent in anything usotttl that was the hour at the piano. Now, your mother xvas up at half-past five, snd xvent to bed, from her sheer inability to sit at her work any longer, at half-past nine. Sixteen hours for her also. How mucii timer" reading did you do in that And Mr. Thornton looked at his wife. "Don't talk to me of reading! I've no time to read," Mrs. Thornton an sxvercd, a little impatiently. The contrast of her daughter's Idle hours with her oxvn life of exhausting toil did not affect her mind very pleasantly- "And yet," said Mr. Thornton, "you were alxv.iys fond of reading, and I can remember when no day went by with out an hour or two passed with your books. Did vou lie down after din ner?" "Of course not." "And didn't you take ft pleasant walk 'doxvn Broadway? Nor sit at the parlor xvindow with Ellle. How about that?" There was no reply. "Now, the case is a very plnin one," continued Mr. Thornton. "In fact, nothing could be plainer. You upend from fourteen to sixteen hours in hard work, xvhile Eflle, taking yesterday as a sample, spends about the same.time iu xvhat is a little better than idleness. Suppose a new adjustment were to take place, and Efiie were to be use fully employed helping you eight hours of each day, she xvotild still hax-e eight hours left for self-improvement and recreation ; and you, relieved from your present overtasked condi tion, might get back a portion of your health and spirits, of xvhich these too heavy household duties haxo robbed you." "Father,' said Elite, "peaking through her tears that xvere falling oxer her face, "I never saw tilings in this light. Why haven't you talked to me before? l'xe often felt as if I'd like to help her; she says that 'You can't do it; I'd rather do it myself.' Indeed it isn't ail my fault." "It may not have been in the past, EllW replied Mr. Thornton, "but it certainly will be in the future, unless t here is a nexv arrangement of things. It is a false social sentiment that lots daughters become idlers, while moth ers, father?, nud sons take up the daily btirden of work and bear it through all the business hours." Mrs. Thornton did not come grace fully into the nexv order of things proposed by her husband and accept ed by Eiile. False pride in her daugh ter, that future lady ideal, and an in clination to do herself, rather than take the trouble to teach auother, xvere all so many impediments. But Eflie ami her father xvere both earnest, and it xx-ns not long before the oxertaked mother's weary face begun to loe its look of xveariness, and her languid frame to come up to an erect bearing.

Editor: Whenever yoa meet Michael Archer, (Itock Bluff's long lime assessor) please raise your hat and say good morning "Squire." For that is what a good lonz petition is going up to the County Commission ers for, to have him appointed a Jus tice of the Peace, ia the place of Jack Graves, who has resigned that ofBce and intends to remove from our town to Fairbury, in Jefferson county. Jack would have bee ready to movo ere this time, but has been detained on account of the sickness of his father, Mr. Wm. Graves, xvho ha3 been very sick with lung fever. We are noxv glad to be able to state, that he is now ia a fair way to recover, which was thought very doubtful at first. Dsath has again visited the family of Mr. John Farthing, this time it is his gob Charles, a young man groxvn, he w;i3 buried last Sunday, the 15th. This makes three deaths in the family in two months and three days. His son Sabastion was buried the 12th of last December, and Mrs. Farthing, the mother of the two young men, was buried the 22d of January. There is and has been a good deal of sickness iu Litis x'icinity this vrinler. Txvo more houses are being torn down and taken out of town, this time it is Win. llhoden, xvho has bought the property of Lester Lampman, and is removing the houses out to his farm about threo miles xvest of town. Mr. Eampman and hia brother-in-laxv, TIios. 0. Smith, intend to move to Platlsmouth to resido. We wonder if you couldn't take our town in as a suburb and save so much moving. That Boss washing machine man that xve apoka of, "salted" two of our citizens to tho tune of five hunudred dollars, for the territory in ten coun ties north of the Platte river, and they are intending to try their hand at wash ing out some of the dirty clothes, and selling washing machinea up that country next week.

Only t few words yoa will hear this time, staling what aasociatior-s I am living with at present, whites, negroes, half and full blooded Indians; the latter tho tribes of Omaha, and Winneba- goes who are farming their lands as white peoplo would, although excep tions can be given, a3 some are more industrious than others. Almost all are in posession ef good teams and implement, beside these we L7 some forFacf inhabitants of Asia arrossi the Missouri river in Pawnee City who are performing as Irish piano players,' About the land, I dare say that it on an average is not as nice as the land of Cass, it is more rolling and broken but can bo bought at a lower figurti Farmers have had very good crops oa these rolling prairies, at least all thodci who have worked as industrions peo plo ought to. It Boeias though that wo have sccie lazy men living in our bluffs, as their places remind a person of tho farms oa the Missouri bottoms; although they are Just a? coatented as their lazy colleagues elsewhere. All these BlulT men must have the old Proverb on their minds: 'The gods will provide, The world owes me a living," but let mo tell you it is a very poor one in some rospeets, yet they have progressed so far as to hard log school buildings scattered through out the cuuuty. These pecular build ings auswer fr the purpose of all pub liomeetiajs; ouch as lyceums, prayer and temperance meetings, and Botoe tiuies it is rumored that if by the con- sont of tho district fathers, it wculd al so answer for the purpose of a danc ing hall. There they gather every Friday nignt to hear the news which' has occurred during the past xreek. There may be seen old gents, ladies11 young aud old maids; of the latter wo haxe not very many, but bachclei's by tha xvholeiale, who would offer great inducements for Cass county old maids' if they would only ceme up here and settle dowu with them on their home steads. Some of our old bachelors have been thinking about going ca3tr others about crossing the Ocean for the purpose of seeking a companion for life. Those who hare not yet ad vanced so far in years aa to be called buchelors, are wishing them a grand success iu that import ant enterpise; hoping that they will soon return and settle down peaceful ly, as this doe3 uoU occur x'eryof'en for xva moro frequently hear of divorc es, also of elopements of both married and unmarried.
