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 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. LITTLE CAUSE*. The celebration in Philadelphia of the bi-centennial anniversary of W il liam Penn’s landing, brought to light many singular bits of history concerning tho great proprietor. Among them was the story of his grandfnther, Capt. Penn. who. when a poor mate on a vessel, captured anil brought to England a pair of Tetuan hawks, which lie presented to the king. Charles, who was inordinately fond of tho sport of hawking, was so I'h'F-sed with tho gift, that he gave let , >e u iv T n v o i / i o i i / i n D o n n l/v I v n / l n | ♦ ters of protection to Penn to trade Cl at I Teinan and to bnv hawks anil horses tor the court.

If it had not beon tor the Tetuan hawks, some other man than William 1 Penn would have made the “ Holly Experiment," if it wns ever made at ] all. ; “ As n landed proprietor," says j Prince Bismarck, T do all in my j power to support the observance of Sunday, but I would not havo people I legally compelled to keep the day rig idly.

Romantic Hiatory of an E n jliih E&rl’s Daughter. A TKACHEU IN A NEW ENG! -NO SCHOOL. 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.

EFFECTS OF TE ET H TRANSPLANTING. 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 decay at tho root Ho propos, ¡1 that sho find some one who hail equally beautiful teeth and induce her to par« with one, which he would transplant and thus preserve her beauty. Tho lady thought at onco o f her portoross. 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.

Run along now, und have a good timo with the other boys, but, mind what I am saying! D on’t play marbles for ‘keeps!’ ” 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 day. Many of them will try the door beforo ringing, and if it happens to be unlocked, will walk right in.

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.
