Dk.vu Editoh: I linvo boon very -.much Interested In tho discussions in your paper ou tho subject of "womnn's rights,", and also tho very important -ono of ' What girls .should road," and as I am only a girl, I would 11 ko soma information on this subject. I havo read u great many trashy novels, whon I should Imvo been poring over my school books, but I do not entirely con demn novels, for I thinlc thero aro sonio which aro beneficial. They feed tho imagination and give ono thoughts on .something clso besides tho tiresome rounds of household duties. By good novels I mean standard works whoso authors Imvo u world-wide reputation. Oxi: orTiiKGuti.s. SATURDAY NIGHT. FitiKKi) Host-:: Yourcommunicatlon Is still unanswered. What Girls shall read, and what they shall not, lias filled tho Homo Circlo with woman's rights, ono overtaxed (faultfinding) husband, ticks, otc. Now tho girls will still read tliat which pleases tholt fancy most, (if they can got it), despite all tho numer ous discussions on that subject. I am a girl mysolf; a country schoulmarm, at Ire.smt.iu)toropluyod.rWrxmhei-H abound in this county. If thero Is a scarcity In Lane please sond us word. You wnnt somo lady (or gcutloman) to tell you how to do tho work for a family of six, nnd from two to four hired mon, nnd to keep it done, and to do it properly and at propor times, also when shall I read, and what shnli I road. Tho work required of you Is too much for any ono woman to do. "Our moth ers used to do as much nnd wcavo and Iwshles." If so, I pity them, nnd am ilad I was not my mother or grand mother. I hope they have found rest at last. And whon wo have toiled from Monday morning, till Saturday night, have "put tired to tired and added It again," and still have work t? do, how kind nnd thoughtful in romo one to re mind us of tho fact. It almost rests us to think how tired our poor mother must Imvo been. Saturday night havo pa tience Sunday tho day of rest for all is coming. Nothing to do from morn ing till night, only something n little extra to cook for dinner; our homo, ouielves, and our children to ho dress ed in our Sunday best; our house full of company (If wo Uvo In tho country, one, of tho charms of a country life) and and wo aro expected to till tho plnco of hostess, cook and nurse. To havo a bright smile, nnd kind word for each Jtnd all, Our dinner complete, nnd our hair smooth, our children's faces cleun, our baby asleep, und our "lord and mas tor" in a happy humor. Dinner over we must sit down nnd entertain our company, forgetful that tho Hreis going out, and our dishwater cooling. When All aro gone, wash tho dishes, then sit down tho only rost during tho day and remember that to-morrow is wash day. Thus tho week or toll begins, or rather never ends. Country "school marms" that board nround, have;eyes anil ears, if they ate expected to mjo xmd hear nothing. I like company, but dou't want them to como on Sunday. My sympathy is with you, Rose.

Dear Editor: I havo read with inter est two or three articles on this subject In your paper, but it scorns to mo that nono of them aro exactly suited to tho wants of the girls whom they aro ad vising. Still, as Miss J. D. ,r. says, thero aro sa many different temperaments that it would bo difficult to prescribo for them all. Sho seems to think thnt sho nevor read n novol that did hor any good whatever. Now I think thnt thero never was n book read by a think ing person, but that it loft somo im pression, either for good or 111 on tho mind of tho reader, and I enow that I novor rend n good work, filled with tho noblo thoughts of nohlo mon nnd wom en, but that I laid it down with moro faith in human nature, and moro lovo for tho beautiful and true. Not that I would adviso them to read that class of literature all tho tlmo by any means, but, also a good choice science nnd his tory nnd moro than history, keep posted In what is going on at tho prcs' cut day. Many will bo nblo to tell you all about tho itomnn Kmplro, nnd not be nblo to tell you what countries aro ongnged in war to-day, und scarcely any thing oftho doings of our own gov ernment. Thoro is no other way or finding out these things hut by reading n e an American tlm nowspapors, nnd thGy, or tho great er part of them, nro filled with tho very worst class or reading matter that could bo placed before tho girls nnd boys. For what the boys read affects their after lifo quite as much as it docs that oftho girls, audi think it would bo well if our fathers would lit somo way purify thoir nowspapors, so that they may keep tho foul slanders, nnd hor rlblo crimes with this contaminating lnfluenco away from tho Imprcsslblo minds nnd pure hearts of thoir chil dren. Gonorally speaking, girls aro not expected to know how to talk anything nut nonsense, nnu touiscnss tnoir oca ll. and tho latest novel. If they mako nn original remark it is met with looks of astonishment. Let us do away .with this impression nnd show thorn that wourocapabloof being Interested in nn animated discussion on any oftho gen eral topics of tho day, if we are only en. couragt'd. It Is not so much what wo rend as how wo read It. Lot us learn to know tho good from tho ovil as soon as it makes Its appearance, casting out tho thorns and chaff, saving only tho golden grain of puro high-minded thought, nnd noblo example. Anotukk "Oxi: optiis Giiils.' What Girls shall Read. Mii.waikii:, Mnyll, 1877. lA). iioMi: Ciiuju:: Tho question of "What shall girls read," seems to ox cite several or tho readers or your pa per, perhaps moro than you hear from. Now, to tnko a clear, comprehensive view of tho matter, with loth eyes open, Is certainly tho best policy. The girls aro as Intelligent as tho writers or nil thoso articles, and I don't believe they thnnk thoso who tnko such u "ono eyed " view or their case as much as borne would desire. What shall boys read? Lot some or your numerous cor respondents nnswor this question pro pnrly and you may know what is good for girls to read. Ono says, " Let them road philosophy and works of nature so that their minds may oxpand and grow to comprohond tho great world around them." Tills Is well enough, but Mould you havo girls read thoso works alone, to tho exclusion or all others? Havo they no lovo for tho beautiful, no desire to fill their minds with some- thing moro entertaining nnd ngreeablo ' thnn inustv nhilosonhv' "1'lsfn.n tim . philosophy has its charms for tho &tu w --r .- dent desiring to enter upon tho rugged road to science, but what young and joyful gJrl wants to bo pinned down to such a cour? Sho needs more, craves moro, and to deprive her of other books for these is to deprlvo her of her rights Ml&uJ"'L&i - (u : fvhich no man or woman of mature Woman has n higher social position than man, in our land, and it is claim ed by a largo majority of Christendom that sho owes this high social position to tho Bible, nnd therefore numberless fathers, mothers, and guardians think tho Bible, is tho only book for young people, especially young Indies, to rend. Thero are a fqw persons in oxlstenco who nro so far gone as to know of no thing but tho Bible, and they are as Ig norant concerning tho world nnd pco- plo as you can possibly expect to find one. No, tho idea thnt woman owes her position in tho social scalo to tho Bibio is untonnble, for 'both tho Old and Now Testnmonts throughout speak of hor as man's inferior, in short regard her as his propor ty. I wont to tnko a broader view of tho ease than somo of your correspondents, who seem to think thnt girls aro lo bo led around the same as a pet dog, nnd told to do this or thnt, without any thoughtosto whether they aro inclined thnt way or not. Among our Indian tribes, where thoro nro no books or pa nors woman is little better than a slave, being compelled to do nil the hardest work in 'or nboat tho.wlgwam, while hor lordly husband spends his tlmo In hunting, fishing, smoking, or making war upon some weaker tribe. That na tion Is said to bo most civilized where woman Is held in tho itigncst estima tion. Now, what places woman in tho highest estimation of man? It is her knowledge of tho world, gained only such associations nnd books as men nro accustomed to. Men like to seo that in a woman which they can appreciate, and to deprlvo hor or nny literature that men use, even in tho smallest de gree, is to mako hor lacking or so many essential points that goto mako up tho sum total or woman's existence nnd influonco. ' Victor Hugo lias said, and wisely, "To civilize a man you must first civ ilizo his grandmother." I think it high tlmo that not only were somo grandmothers civilized, but fathers and mothers as well. In fact all who op pose giving girls tho snmo path Ihoy allow to boys, aro In dangor or barbar ism and need civilizing. Let tho afore said parents read more thomselvos, lot them take newspapers that glvo tho news or tho world, let thorn not bo afraid of tho Xew Norlhwenl, but renil It and they will find that their boys will bo ns good as they are, and thoir girls us good ns tho boys. There Is a kind of literature that is not fit to bo rend' by any one: 1 nlludo to tho yellow backed kind known as dime novels, ote. It is beat not to lot thoso get tho uppcrhand of a parson's mind, especially n young person's, boy or girl. There aro manywho will read thorn, and. not,, it Jtfw who aro harmed by them, as tho talcs tend rather to excite tho passions than to elevnto or teach minds. Lot all such bo kept nwny from the household, and placo within reach good wholcsomo books nnd papers of all kinds, nnd you will find tho girls will know as well as the boys or parents how to tnko euro of and beliavo thomselvesat any tlmo and in nny place, and Imj fit companions for each other at all times. E.L. Tuoiti. Kd. Homi: Cikcm-:: 1-or tho benellt of soiuo or your renders I will stato that Mrs. Duniway was not tho origi nator or woman suffrage, that it did not "got its start In Yamhill," and that hor paper Is not tho only woman's Jourunl in oxlstenco. Tho writers on " woman's rights " in your pnpor seem to labor under that impression. Mrs. D. and such as sho, aro to ultimo (?) ir women nro nny better off than they wore fifty years ago. Don't lot your girls read her paper, although it is full or pure and elevating thought, nnd not a record or tho crimes and .sins or tho world, unless you wish them to know that getting married Is not tho only end and aim or woman's existence, and that they aro possessed or equal talents with their brothers, togothor with, perhaps, a delicacy or porcoptlou and refinement which would mako them superior to mon. JC.lt. TABLE MANNERS. Tho tablo Is n placo at which the faint ly meet, and where thoroshould bo tho freest nud most unrestrained .social in tercourse. Wo eat to live; but tho moro animal necessity is lifted up and glori fied when tho charms of pleasant con versntion nnd of mutual courtesy sur- roiinci mo custom. Ko far ns tho sub ..:., fiiA. r. tuininir of lifo Is concerned, thatobluct might bo reached if each took his bread and meat nud retired to u closet to eat it alone. Jttit thoro is a spiritual lifo that is to ho fed and sustained, nnd It is btarvod where thoro Is no grace, not only before, but during a meal. Tho great troublo with our American life is, that it is too gloomy. Wo take "tibtet L.&f4y U 'i. T 3 no time to ontorta other.

Thoro ought to bo bright, genial, spark ling talk, in which tho children should bo allowed to join. Thero is no sonso whatever in compelling nn intelligent child tosit like a dear mute at tho table; though on tho other hand, children should not raonouolizo tho conversa tion, nor bo allowed to ask strings or irrelevant questions. livery ono should prepnro for tho table by somo simple process of dressing. Tho linir should bo smooth, tho hands washed, tho gonoml appearance of each indivi dual inviting, nnd ench should try to bo as ngrecablo as possible to ovcry other. It Is quite wonderful how a lit tle freshening or tho toilot freshens up the soul as well as tho face. So far, wo ought to bo luxurious, ir tho moth er sees to it that hor school-boy sons al ways como to dinner with clean hands ana nails, and that her daughters novor dawdlo into tho room In tawdry llnory or soiled wrnnners. sho will do moro than sho dreams or in tho work or making them grow into real gentlemen und ladles. Tho tablo itsolf ought to havo a fes tl vo look. Flowors havo a special graco ou tho breakfast board. A dish or fruit nicely arranged pleases tho oyo as well as tho palato at dinner. Clean Unon. though coarse, and wholo plates and cups, with bright glass nnd silver, help nppotito nlong. A fow woli-cooked dishes, howovor plain, nicely sorvod, will promote health and happiness bet ter than a great vnrloty .ruined in tho preparation. s Somo housekeepers, with an oyo to saving troublo on washing day, havo adopted tho marblo oil-cloth, but a buff or crimson ono occasionally for break fast or tea, will furnish fortli tho fami ly feast much more beautifully. UusixiMS Womkn. Tho uloa still prevails, though not to so great an ox tent ns it used to, that women havo no concern with business affairs, and thnt business habits nnd qualifications relate lo mon only. Thero novor was a greater mlstako mado, wo need hardly say. To possess n ca for business is not only comnatiblo with truo wom anliness, hut it is in a measure indis pensable to tho comfort and woll-ncing or ovory properly govorncd family. Thomanngomontof family and house hold is as much n matter of business ns tho mnuagomont of a storo or an otllco, nnd requires method, accuracy, organi zation, Industry, economy, discipline, tact, knowlcdgnaud capacity for adapt ing means to ends. All this is oftho osscuco of business; nnd hence business habits aro as neces sary lo bo cultivated by womon who would succeed in tho atlalrs or home in other words who would mako homo happy ns by mon In tho affairs or trado or commerce, or or manufacture. Method, which is tho soul or business, is or cssoutial importanco in tho home. Work mil nnlv ho rrnttlirnntrh liv innlh- od. Muddle tiles before it, nnd huggor- mutrccr becomes a tluuir unknown.
