In this epoch parents are looking anx iously about lot4 suitable institutions of learning for tlieif- children. If we trust Stuffed circulars, every Variety of taste can be sati-fied. One institution makes a spet hdty of teaching grammar, another one thing, another something else, and so it goes. With so many school to select from the dutiful parent knows not whore to choose, and often in perplexity , takes the first that oilers. It is a matter of para mount Importance,' however, one should not be tieeWedthoiitcareful. JftSiMttofc There are the big mouthed professors who, having failed in business, have become teachers. Some of these men have a' certain gift of managing children, a very necessary thing in a teacher, not enough, however, to make one a good instructor. From such podagogs the parent should keep away. But to select one from the honest teacher is not an easy matter. This one is not a member of the right church, or that one is too strict, another not strict enough. The best wav is for the parent to decide just what is wanted. Their children must be educated, and a place selected tor them which will most amply supply their wants. Parents who have studied character, know that some children must be led with gent l5 ness, others governed by authority, while others need only a little help here .and there to teach them to walk alone. Tim moral wants of children nmt not.be lost sight of. Such features as these must be regarded as the most impressive year o4 life. Wc must always keep in view that our children arc to be made honest, up right men and women, healthy in body, mind and soul. We begin to see. now, why it is so difficult to select a suit:.b;c school. But after the school is chosen, the parent's work is not done. There is more for the mother to do than to get the chil dren oft' to school in time, and more tor the father to do than simply to pay tli! bills. Teaching is not to be left to the teacher en tirely parents uiuxt help. They can do this at home, by taking an interest in the lessons to be learned ; and they can accom plish more good by visiting the school. The teacher is but the assistant of the pa rent, and it must be known thai both are working in the same direction. The father may not find time XQ-do much, but. the mother can. She may not have been high ly educated but she can tell if her children are surrounded by good inlluences ; if they are taught conscientiously or superficially. The teacher is pleaded to know that he or she has the parent's hearty co-operation, and the pupils are proud to show the pro gress made since tlie last visit. Parents, there is stiil the work of advising, assisting and supervising to be done. C.vi'E of Goon Hope. Moise Tmitiovemknt Wooi.kx Mills TO HE EllIXTEt 'ItOll FClt OUIt RlIE. Time and agtiiu, for years past, the Uro isteI! has showed tiie advantages that would accrue to city and county by the building tip of manufacturing industries in our midst. A year or two since, when a gentleman of large experience in the busi ness, a ptaetical woolen manufacturer, came to the city, and, after careful exami nation and enquiry, became satisfied that Albany was one of the best, if not the very best, points in the State for the successful prose-union of such an industry, and pro posed to put up halt the capital necessary to build and outfit a first class woolen mill if our citizens would furnish the other half. We urged upon our citizens the acceptance of the ofifer. But times were hard, money tight, and our citizens generally had not fully awakened to the grand destiny that awaited our city in the near future, to be realized by the liberality, energy and push of a few of our fellow-citizens. Various propositions were made, by different parties, and a good deal of breath was spent, canva3aing the matter of the erection of a woolen mill, from time to time, but nothing definite was effected. Last Sat nrday five of our most practical, thorough paced business men, realizing the necessity of immediate action, drew up and signed the necessary articles incorporating a com pany who propose erecting and carrying ou the business of a woolen factory: The incorporators are : Messrs. J. V. Backen sto, S. E. Young, D. M. Thompson, C. P. Burkhart and Thos. Monteith. The capital stock of the Company is $12,000, divided into shares of $100 each. We have little doubt that the stock in tills enterprise M ill all be taken by our citizens at once, so that the Company may be organized and pro ceed at once to business. The enterprise should enlist the hearty anpport of every citizen of the city and county, as it is an industry whicli, it prosecuted energetically, will aid more tlian any other siugle enter prise the growth and prosperity of the city and county. . Freights Lowered. As will be seen by an advertisement elsewhere in this is sue, the Oregon & California Eailrbad Company, have lowered their rates of freight on general mercliandise from Port, land to this city to twenty-flye cents per bnndred pounds,' or $5 par ton. This is quite a fall from old rates, and will be ap preciated by our merchants and others. The old. rates were t First class, per lOOfts., 5Sc second class, 48c I third , class, 35c. Judging from the advertisement, there will hereafter be but one rate. That was a. disastrous fire at Iqulque in Fcriv A'd what a tj rious name, neither, School Suspension.

Wanted A housekeeper no one but an elderly lady, competent, and ot the highest respectability need apply. Call be tween the hours of '3 and 4, Thursday, Apiil 0, at Xo. , Michigan avenue. Kate Franklin read this in the paper which lay on the counter in tin? little gro cery while waiting to have an ounce or two of tea done up and a roll of baker's bread, She repeated the number ot the house over to herself as sho received the change from the grocer. She prepared the tea atrer she returned to the little bare attic, and ate her scanty meal lucchaitically. She forgot how un satisfied her appetite still was in her buy thought. A stranger, in a strange place, successive ly s-he had tried to tind a situation as teach er, copyist, in a srre, sewing. She had tailed in the first three and i was starving on the last. She would apply for the place, but she would need references. Only one person she knew in the whole great Icity of suffi cient influence Mrs. lia'vciipWt, the rich, haughty, step-sister, who had ill-treated her uioilier while she lived anil hated Kate herseit". l'erhaps Kate thOnirlit she would permit her to refer to her. because gfad to have yer descend to menial employment. Kate was competent for this situation, for during her mother's l'i;g illness and her father's absence, she h id entire charge of their large family and"-splendid hou-L-. But an elderly woman.' Nor Kate was not an elderly woman, being only twenty : but .-he remembered, with a sort of pleasure, that in private theatricals, she had imitated the voice and assumed the character of an old woman with great suc cess. Sh'i knew how to stain the iskm to give an oitl appearance, and ?hu had in the bottom ot a box some lal?e 2X.-iv hair and a uui4liu cap worn on one of those occasions. She IiJ not need to look so very old only to present a mature and matronly appear unce.' - - - Mr. Edward D.ivton waited at home af ter dinner to see the respondents to his ad vertisemctit. He was a handsome man, not yet thirtv, with a grave, frank, jrood uatuied countenance. lie leaned back in a nonchalant way, his fect on another chair. There ought to be a Mrs. L.iyto:i to manage these housekeeping matters. Well there s time enough." Two applicants were siren and dismissed in Mr. Uayton's gentlemanly way. A third was inhered iu. Mr. Dayton in stantly laid aside his cigar, and placed a chair for his visitor. The ladylikencss and propriety of her manner pleased him at once. Fallen for tunes,"' he commenced to himself. ' She answered his questions readily, but in few words. 'A silent woman a good thing," wash's inward remark. "I think you will suit me. Mrs., what may I understand your name?" "Franklin." Mrs. Franklin, you will be required to go out ot town about seven miles to my country house, Oak" Grove in the town of Embury, on the Grand Central railroad. The. salary I propose to pay is 000 per annum. Do my terms suit you?" She answered quietly, that they dirt. Then it is all settled By the way, I suppose you have references, though that is a mere matter of form.'' The name of Davenport was given. . "Davenport? Kobert Davenport? I know them. All right. If convenient, you will please go to-morrow,Mrs. Franklin, or the next day. I shall not come till the middle of next week, and probably bring a friend or two with me. Have the chambers in the ceuter and wings prepared, it you please. The liouse keeper there now will not leave until Saturday, She wlil show you around." Is Mrs. is your wife there, or to go soon? . He laughed. 'Mrs. Kdward Dayton? Xo, she is not there, and i do not know of her going at. present." Adding, more seriously, "I have not the pleasure, Mrs. Franklin, ot having a wife," with a slight stress 112x111 "pleasure." ' : ' A' vivid color came into the brown checks of the houscket'iKsr, and her manner showed evident embarrassment. - "1 thought I believe I cannot" and "It's all settled, 1 believe. By the way," his eyes falling on the rusty black dress you may like an advance, as an evidence ot the bargain. It is quite customary, I believe, to do so." The housekeeper's hands closed on the fifty dollars that he gave her, and the words she would have said were left tin ut tered. She moved to the door, lie 02X!U cd for her courteously. . : "Good morning, madam." "Good morning," she replied, and then stoppcu. He did not notice it. 'His mind had al ready turned to other things. Jle rose. "1 cannot starve. I must go. I can keep up my disguise," she mui nitred. Mr. Dayton, accompanied bv a friend. arrived at his country borne the middle of mo nexi iveek. -tverythmg within and without the house was in perfect order. It the new housekeeper had made a few mistakes at fii-st, they were soon rectified. Kvery room that she had touched showed a magical change, -r , ; . Her 2redecessor liad been one of the kind who believed in the sunlight never enter ing the room for fear of fading the carpets. Mr. Daytonfelt the change without know ing the reason of i t. He looked around him with a satisfied air. It was not possible to find fault with the variety and quality of the food placed be-1 fore tliem, nor the manner of its being serveu , auu me lauie appointments were perfect,:.' and Mr. " Dayton consrrutulated himielf upon having such a jewel of ahoua- wue. ."'-- - The weeks passed, and a holiday 'came.

She felt 'A weleoipe rellerro nave ine uay to nersexii one iuck ed the doors carefully after the last servant. She had almosfforgotten her real character in that which she had assumed t but to day she could be herself, Without fear of Intrus ion or discovery. - - She laid aside her cap anil gray urcsses washed the stain from her 8kin-arranjred Jier luxuriant hair in becoming curls and tlonncd a pretty, iresli muslin, wtiicu fitted well a slio-ht graceful figure. This done she entered the. parlor and stood before the mirror as attractive a ngure as one would often see. : " Trulv. I have forgotten m own looks! I am Kate Franklin, after all," she said Hemoved from her long restraint, . her spirits rebounded. She felt gay, light-hearted, and like committing any foolishness. "Miss h rankiin," sue saw, u lire minc ing, a fleeted tones of an exquisite, "it would be an inexpressible pleasure to hear thp nnisie of that long silent, voice.", ; "It would be a great pity 10 ueprivc you of it, then." she answered in her natural voice, "ami myself also, "she added; and going to the piano she oiHjned it, and then she sanr song sitter song, in a sweet, culti- vateu. clear voice, one cnose, as iirsu, ine brilliant and triumphant, then the sad and plaintive succeeded. There were tears in her eyes when she rose ; but to-day her moods were capricious. "Mrs. Franklin, is it you who is playing on the piano?" she asked, in excellent iui- LiaLlUIl Ol .1.11. XJ'tJ 1" iwtv-i.. "It is only 1, sir, dusting the keys. They need dusting so often," she replied, in Mrs. Franklin's meager tones; and she dusted them vigorously with her pockethand ker chief. "Ah me !" she said, "now what other foolish thing shall I do to prove to myself that I am not an elderly housekeeper, but a young girl, who, by virtue of her age, should be gav. by right of birth wealthy and of consideration, visited and visiting, as Mr. Dayton's lady visits and is visited. He Is no ble, good and handsome," she said with a sigh. "She will be happy. How gracefully she danced here at the party the other evening, when the old housekeeper was permitted ta look on. She looks good and amiable, too. Mr. Dayton danced with her three times. I wonder if I have forgotten how to dance?" anl humming an " air, she floated' gracefully about the room. She stopped, breathless, her cheeks brill- ian. from the exercise, her splendid hair disarranged. -I believe I feel like stiff old Mrs. Frank lin, with whom dancing doesn't agree." One more soiiir by that heavenly voice, Miss Franklin, and 1 shall go away dream ing I have heard angels sing," in the ludic rously atl'ected voice she had before imitat ed. " "Ah," she laughed, yet half sadly, ''the compliments poor old housekeeper Frank lin receives 1 hope won't quite turn her siilv old head and spoil her." She sat down again at the piano, and sang Home, Sweet Home," and then played one of BeethoveiCs grandest, most solemn pieces. She rose and closed the piano. The carnival is ended. Kate Franklin disappears from the scene, and Madam i raukliu enters. , , ( Neither Mr. Di't'ton or. the servants would have suspected from the placid and cnsruihed deportment ot the housekeeper when thev returned at evening, of what strange freaks she hail been jruiltv. The housekeeper, as usual when Mr. Dayton was alone, sat at the table. It had com menced to rain violently, and the weather had grown suddenly cold. Mr. Dayton. as he had done occasionally, invited her to the librarv, where a cheerful fire burned in the grate, lie read the let ters and papers whicli he had brought with him from town, while she knitted. An hour or more passed iu silence ; in deed, the housekeeper seldom spoke except nneii nsketl a question. At length Jir. Dayton looked tip to her and said, abruptly "Yours must be a lonely llle, madam If it is not a painful subiect, may I ask how long since von lost vour husband ?" Two hands suspended their employment two eyes looked tin to him witlian alarm ed expression. In his serious, sympathetic countenance there was nothing to Irlgtiten or embarrass but the red grew deeper on her nrowu cheek. "It is a painful subject," she said at last. falterinsly. "If vou will please excuse me." One morninsr he was srieakinir of the great loss to children in being de2rived of tneir parents. "t never knew a mother.'' he said: "she died before rav earliest recollection. I be lieve that, man as I am. if I had a mother. I should go to her with all my griefs, as a little child would. I have sometimes tho't of asking yon fo act as mother, in theqnlet evenings, when I have longed to confide iu some one. Mv mother would have beeu about your age. I think." - Again there was a vivid color in the cheeks of the housekeeper, such as is rarely seen in the aged, but it was accompanied by a quiver hi the month, and ended in a cough ; Dut both mouth anu cheeks were quickly covered .with a handkerchief, and quite a violent fit of coughlna ensued. Mr. Dayton, however, did not seem to notice, thoughhe had given lier one curious glance, instantly withdrawn, anu lie con tinned : "For instance respecting matrimony whose advice is of so much value as a moth er's ? Who so quick to see through charac ter, and make a good selection ? Had you a son, whom about here would you select as a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Franklin?" "I am not acquainted with any ot the young ladies, Mr. Dayton," sne answered. "True ; but vou have seen them all, and are, I should judge, a good discerner of character,from observation. v nom wouia you select from those you have seen ?" he persisted. ..... ,, She reddened and oaled. "I have heard the Misses Grandison highlvsDokenof. Tlieir appearance woukl seem to prove the truth. I doubt not that von acree with tne." she replied quietly, It was now his turn to color, which he did. slb'htlv. "I do agree" with, vou," he auswered, emnhaticallv. It was late in September. Mr. Dayton and the housekcei3r wore both in the par lor. He has been unusually grave 1111 uay It seemed to the housekeeper that his man ner had changed toward ner. ; "I have a few questions to ask. If you will permit me, Mrs. Franklin?" - She felt instinctive alarm at his tone. 'Certainly,' with an effort. J There w an Anilnous l)atl3e. ; ' " I have hen told." said he.

Mr. Dayton's manner changed. 0 Kate ! Kate ! I did not mean to distress yon. is obody knows but me nobody shalMcnow." And he soothed her tenderly. 'Kate look up. I love you with all my heart. I want you to be my little house keeper my wife always. Kate, what do you say?" taking her in his arms and laying his cheek against hers. '"My own Kate, is It not V" bhe murmured something between her sobs that she must go away this minute. ''Nonsense, darling ! Haven't you been here for months? What difference can a day longer make? You are safe with me, Kate. Oh because 1 know you are Miss Franklin, 'will you give me the inexpressi ble pleasure of hearing from that long silent voice?' Oh, Katie, you bewitched me that day ! I am afraid you will bewitch me always. But, Katie, let's take off these trappings" untying her cap and remov ing her gray hair: and with this action down fell the wealth of brown tresses. "Oil Mr. Dayton you were not surely you were not home tliat day ?" looking up covered with confusion. les, JJir. uayton was 111 tne imrary, with an accent 011 his name, which Kate understood.
