It is said to tho crodit of young
ladies in Austria that they are ashniu
ed to marry without a practical
knowledge of cookiag, and o f the ar
rangements necessary for great enter
tainments. They would consider it a
disgrace to confess ignorance to their
husbands, or to have anything go
amiss at a grand dinner in their own
homes. Instead of learning at home,
they put themselves under tho teach
ing of a professed cook, and study all
the minutiie of preparing tho best
dishes aud serving them.
When a famous cook accepts a po-
i

.
sition, he makes a priviso that he is
to be allowed the privilege o f instruct
ing pupils. When he is to prepare
a grand entertainment, his pupils re
ccive notice, and repair to the house
where he serves, to watch the prepar
ations. They are in the kitchen to
* e how each dish is made ready.
They are again at the feast, to see
how each is served.
Young ladies o f noble families
visit in this way the kitchens o f peo
pie with whom they have no ac
quaintance, and it would be a breach
of etiquette tor the households to in-
quire about them, or to go to the
kitchen while they are there.

I f one should read in a novel of
the daughter o f an English earl
eloping with a music master, coming
to America, and in default o f music
pupils, supporting herself ami her
husband by writing for the maga
zines and newspapers; if he should
further read of her as engaged as a
teacher in a New Eng lumi school; if
’ e should then further read of her
far from 'her family and
ienSs, at the early age o f thirty-five
years, the story would seem to meet
all the conditions of a circulating li
brary romance, und to bo worthy of
the usual need o f tears and sighs.
Yet all this is precisely what has
happened in the case of Lady Biotiche
Murphy, who died iu North Con .vay,
N. H., on Tuesday last. Any one
can look up her birth in Lodge's
Peerage—“ Lady Blamhe-Eliznbeth-
Mary-Annunciata, b. 25 March, i U5.”
The motto will be found, in the
same rascinating volume, of the
house of Gainsborough—“ Tout bien
ou rien,’’ translated “ All or notl.ing;”
which reminds us of the title of one of
Dryden’s plays—“ All for L o»o; or,
The W orld Well Lost.” Her lady
ship, whether writing for the news
papers in New Y'ork, or teaching
school iu Now Hampshire, was true
to the legend of her race. M'è know
little that is particular about her; she
may or may not havo been personally
beautiful, well informed sho evidently
was, and oven accomplished; and she
exhibited pluck and endurance and
industry, aud au acceptance i t tho
situation to which her affection had
brought her, which it is imp« sible
not io admire. When her father o f
fered to receive her in her old homo,
if she would give up her husband,
she instantly doclined the invìi.ition.
She seems to have had a good, old
fashioned, constant heart, o f a kind
which if not so common as it once
was, and which is destined, w four,
as the world goes on in its peculiar
civilization, to become (except in
novels) rarer still. -We do not say
that it is a good thing iu itseif tol
tile daughter of au earl to olopo with
a music-master, or to marry in oppo
sition to the wishos of her no' lo fa
ther; but thero is something beautiful
in tho courago aud persiotenco < f this
Lady Blancho, and iu the fidelity
with which she adhered to tue Udii
oils fortunos of her husband.
People will very naturally say that
she m ust have been very fin n appy.
On the contrary, she wus probably
not unhappy at all. Her unxi ty to
m .try herself out of the peerng > wi.s
as great as that Of many youug ladies
to mnrry themselves into it. Sho
had her own way, and that was a
great deal. She had the husband of
her choice, and wo trust that, lie was
worthy o f her devotion. She kept
busily at her work, anil had no time
tor sighing. The home which sho
left may cr mey not havo boon
a happy one, but she left it to
make u home of ber own. Whoa she
died, many difficulties had been sur
mounted, and tho future was bright
er. I f the novel had only boon a lit
tle longer, it might have ended even
brilliantly.
Doubtless many romances aro con
tinually occurring in real life quite as
strange and striking as this whe h we
aro considering. They lack only this
element or the other which, it they
had it, would put them into tho news
papers. What thoy teach is the real-
lyun iform character o f most of our
social life. Thousands upon thou
sands pass through existence without
doing anything which in tho least ns
tonisnes anylKiily. No wonder that
line o f Gray—“ They kept the oven
tenor o f their w ay’’— is in «very
body’s mouth. It is tho biography of
tho million. When anything a little
out o f tho usual occurs it is much
talked o f until something still odder,
or at least freslior, supplants it. Then
wo lift uj> both hands and exclaim:
“ Truth is stranger than fiction.” It
would be wiser to say that fiction,
kept within duo bounds and free
from wild improbability, is merely
truth—a record o f something which
has actually happened with the liumes

will go into a hundred novels, i.nil wo
dare say that she has been in half a

If the statement did not ap; -nr in
a French pnper wo should perhaps be
inclined to doubt all the detail of tho
incident which wo find record« I in u
Paris newspaper o f a recent date. A
most amiable and devoted wife is the
heroine. Sho is lovely and pi teases
a set of white, pearly teeth. A few
weeks since one o f the most promi
nent of her teeth became tronli , some,
and the dentist declared that I could
not save it, as it had commei oil to

who was the terror o f the household
and the torment o f her poor husband,
whose life she made miserable by her
evil temper. His head bore marks of
a hundred attacks. The woman con
sented to give up the coveted pearl
tor $ 10 . T hey repaired to the dentist,
and, with the aid o f ether, the trans
fer wao made without pain to either.
Bnt mark what followed it might
not follow in England, but in Paris
everything is jmssihlo. The porter
ess lost her viciousness and liecame
so amiable that her dilapidated hus
band had fears o f her insanity, whi le
the charming lady, whose whole life
had been a perpetual blessing to her
husband and friends, has become
such a vixen that there is no living in
the house with her.
The girl who declares that she
would not marry the best man alive
quite frequently proves her sincerity
by marrying the worse man she can
find.
PEDDLERS.
“ I havo here, sir, some superior

“ You’ll not introduce uny o f it

“ My method is to mnko everybody

“ See here, gentle youth, I presume
you arb wound up to run all day, and
I don’t care to stop you. But please

As tbo youth passed down tho steps
he sighed despairingly.
“ That’s all right,” remarked the
wife as the gentleman resumed his
seat at the breakfast table aud mado
au onslaught upon a buckwheat flap-
jack that had grown chilly during tho
colloquy at tho door, “ but if you were
a woman, you’d not get rid of those
fellows so easily. They are a nuisance
already, ami are becoming more nu
merous nud moro persistent every

beforo ringing, and if it happens to
be unlocked, will walk right in. Once
inside, it is a difficult matter to get
them out again. It’s no uso to tell
them you want none of thoir goods;
thoy will insist upon showing thorn,
and talk until my head aches. Some-
times I actually buy things I do not
want, just to get peddlers out o f the
house.”
“Ah! That is wiso. It never oc
curred to me before, but thut device
is one o f tbe huppiest feminine
thoughts I ever heard of. Of course,
they never come again? Or, if they
do, of course they go directly away
as soon oh you tell them yon want
nothing? Allow me to congratulate
you! As a piece of strategy, that
amounts to an inspiration.”
"Laugh, if you want to! I just
wish you were a woman! I ’d go right
down town aud send a sowing-

up in front of the door, shoulder a

“ My dear, this is a gun. It is

“ Both holes?”

A M B ITIOUS T O FLY.
Young America is full o f inven
tions, as many a parent can testify;
and like other inventors sometimes
suffers in his endeavors to embody
his ideas so that they can be o f ser-
viento himself and the world. The
following, from the Louisville Com
mercial, shows what we mean.
A boy in this city met with a se
vere accident recently at the homo of
his parents. He is about eight years
o f ago and is considered by bis play’-
inates ns a very daring and rockiess
lad. F or some time he has been at
work upon a pair of wings which
would enable him to soar through the
air like an eagle.
He reasoned that if he could only
make wings large enough and light
enough; there was no reason why he
should not Hy ns well ns a bird. Ac
cordingly ho made two wings out of
light paper, so contrived that thoy
could be fastened tightly to the arms.
W ie n they were completed, ho
called his companions together to
witness the success of his scheme.
H» ascended a high shed, fastened on
his wings, and with a crow and a
flap leaped off. full of sanguine hopes
that the treacherous air would buoy
him up.
Gravitación evidently did not sym-
pnthixo with him, or his paper wings
were mutinous, for he had no sooner
made his leap and his shout of
triumph, than he went to tho ground
in a heap, completely demoralized,
the wings that were to soar him aloft
nilding to his fall. Then followed a
cry of pain and a call for help. He
had struck upon thn left leg. break
ing it just I h 'I o w the kni-e. This will
probably put nil end to his hopes of
flying like a bird.
