An Essay read before the Richmond Vwle (.runge, and subsequently before tho Richmond ComrUy Council of Oranges. BY M?S. 1. J. THOMAS. I know I shall differ in opinion from many n{ our Grangers when I give my idea with regard Lo economy in house hold labor. There is an economy of choice and an economy of necessity, the ono is praiseworthy, we deserve no credit for practicing thc other. As society is constituted, among farmers as a clatu, wives are dependent upon their husband's sonso of right for the amount of money thoy spend, and the number of servants they hire, I had almost written that they were dependent upon the generosity of their husbands, but I shall frighten the geutlemen of our Grange wheu I affirm that I am an eqi-il-rights woman, in so far that I claim for the wives of our far mers an equal share, at least, in thc man agement of tho household economy. I do not go so far as Solomon, who alludes to the wife, "As Bhe considereth a field and buyeth it." A farmer's wife who would go sn far as to "consider a field and buy it," would be thought to have rather overstepped a lady granger's priv ilege. A farmer does not consider that he is doing a generous action when ho pays the blacksmith or mechanic whom he employs. He does think ho is doing a very generous act when ho gives his wife a sum of mouoy to buy clothes for herself and tho children ; he calls it a present to her, forgettiu ? that she has been work ing without wuges, and as ho bestows thc small sum, perhaps grudgingly, mutters something about the extravagauce of wo men, and the necessity of cconcmy in labor. Ho thinks it utterly impossible to hire a cook. All through tho long summer days his wife cooks, washes her dishes takes care of the children, her rest often disturbed by tho lillie ones at nights ; if abo complains thc auswer is, "Oh we must economize, times rre so hard." Sho thinks be knows besi., and often envies the colored man or woman she sees him paying wages to, for she knows ?he hos been working in a differ ent way quite as bard, but then she is his wife, you know-honor enough in that. What docs she want with money? He buys her a calico dress now and then, aud occasionally a pair of shoes. She ought to be content. She requires an other tub or an extra iron olio says, but he replies,"well, you muBt get on somehow, I'm obliged to buy another plough and .?onie more hoes"-we can imagine which are bought, and sho docs get on somehow, and weary work it often is. ihe farmer T?.M? carly, goes oui in ibo morning to prepare bis ground, the green world and sunny skies abovo him, sing ing birds and pure, delicious air around him. He would probably deny that their influence caused him to whistle merrily as he works ; he does not deny that he has an excellent appetite for the good breakfast his wife has prepared for him ; he eats it, perhaps, without ono thought for tho wife who bas cooked it, and again he leaves for ?I?B work. If the sun is very hot ho rests under the shade of a tree until the he ru blows for dinner; if a bucket of cc A water is not ready for him, if his din u f is a little delayed, he sayB, "Well, Jane, it is strange you can't help j a man 1" Dinner over, ne smokes his pipe or cigar, (I believe pipes are the ap proved Btylo for the farmer,) he then goes to sleep ; afterwards ho goes out to work agnin the field, and either works or seeks the shade of another tree. If tho former, when ui^ht comes he is tired ; when peo ple are tired they are not usually cheer ful companions ; supper over he is ready for bed, and thus time passes. How bas the wife been employed dur ing the day ? She rises unrefreshed at an early hour ; perhaps oho hos yoong children ; they are to be dressed, break fast is to be prepared, afterwards, or be fore, the cow is to be milked, milk skimmed and butter churned, the dishes and kitchen articles are to be washed, then the house is to bo put in order, chickens are to be looked after, the pigs to be fed, occasionally she does a little work in tho vegetable garden ; her hus band is so busy in tho farm ho has no* timo to sparc for the garden ; perhaps Bhe does the fine ironing-sewing, too, for tho family is her duty. The farmer hires an extra baud occasionally, but he would think it an innovation upon an old established custom to give out any portion of the sewing. He forgets that a dress is twice as much trouble to make as in his mother's time. I expect ?lie hun a sewing machine, perhaps paid for it by tho work she has done on it since. Din ner is to be prepared, beans to bo strung, peas to be shelled, and all this consumes time; dinner over, ?.&ucs aro again tobe washed, sewing to be done, cow to be milked again, "supper again to prepare, the children are to ba put to bed. She is so tired she longs lo go too, but there ts the basket of sewing, and until a late Lour, she plies the needle. When the watermelons und fruit aud fall crop are sold, tho husband takes care of the cash, pays off the hands ho has employed, but ontirely forgets to pay thc wife who lins been cooking and doing tho housework. He may say ho ?B paid nothing, but all she wishes is to bo paid in proportion to what ho pays himself. As Solomon tells us, "Give her of the fruit of her hands, end let her works praise her." She will very probably spend it in a carpet, or pair of vases, or shade, comething he will enjoy too, although ho may not admit their influence. Perhaps this husband and wife may lia vu Lieeo raised in comfoii or n?I??c?Cc -they aro reduced 6o that economy is absolutely essential. How can wo econ omize labor is the thought of both of them. In such cases the burden is apt to fall unequally-asido from her other cares the duty of maternity devolves upon the woman. Let the husband take care that in regulating the domestic economy lt does not fall too heavily upon his wifo ; labor is cheap and there aro few men who are unable to hire one servant. The sum of money which he spends for tobac co, or in an occasional drink for himself, or treats io his friends, rtoii??, ii c?pciiuvu in that way, piovide him with a cook during the summer months. How to economize labor is a ?object replete with interest to all housekeepers, and few hare solved the problem to their satisfaction. One would naturally imag ine that this question bas been of absorb ing interest sinco the war and thc conse quent loss of property, but the wife of tho Southern slaveholder had so many per sons to keep employed that it was a bur den ; the plantation clothes were to be . cut out and made, each one marked when finished, and checked off when given cut. Remembering all this, I do not hesitate to affirm my belief that there are many la dies, tho wives of Southern slaveholders, who have far more time at theit com mand now than in th*? ante-bellum days. Dy economizing labor, I understand to bo an economy of such a character a? will give to the housekeeper more time, time to bo employed os ehe maj most Uko in sewing, reading, writiog, or visit ing, os her wish may dictate. One im portant item io household economy* fa the hire of servants; in this the prudent housekeeper will be guided by the size of her family, and the fortune of her hus band. Economy, I regard as a relativo term. What would be economy in one house keeper would be miserly in another. An economy which the wife of a poor man would practice would be unnecessary in the wiro of her wealthy neighbor-in each case there isa necessity for economy in labor, the one does the cooking and house-cleaning, the other is often in volved in a rouud of engagements which aro "a wearisome to the flesh," and cause her to exclaim, "How eau I escape, from this labor of visiting aud receiving, how can I economiso time so aa to find leisure for what I would most enjoy?" Essays on housekeeping, which have been furnished by the ladies of Rich mond Vale Orange, contain many valu able suggestions appropriate to this sub ject. I am reminded of an incident in my early married life. I had moved from the city to the country, and wan be ginning to develop the love for garden ing, which has grown stronger as I have grown older. My father one day, allud ing to some one, enid, "lie is the laziest mao I ever saw ; ho is too lazy to pick up a hoc, hut puts his foot under it and lifts it in that wuy." "Why, pa," said I, "that is the r:ay I always lift a hoe." What an amused look ho gave me, and what a laugh there was at my expense. How often I have been reminded of it as I have attempted to economize labor by lifting a boo left carelessly by some ooo else. I always leave my garden rako and hoe leaning in a particular place. I am inclined to think that my friends may have another ?milo at my expense when they lenrn that I nm writing on economy in housekeeping. I came from a race of farinent who, in early life, lenrned the lesson of "take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves." My mother's mother commenced life a poor girl, she married a poor man, yet lived to be a wealthy woman. My father was a poor young man ; it was his proud boast that he made his own fortune. Tho lessons handed down from my parents, the ex amples to which I have been accustomed from childhood produce their effect, and the lesson of economy is moro readily learned now thal it is u necessity. At no time, however, have I been a wasteful housekeeper-as a faithful steward I have tried to take care of what has been en trusted to my charge, and have always carried my keys. We pray to be deliv ered from temptation, and ??.ould avoid tempting others. Servants are often tempted by cloth and articles left lying carelessly about. When I am cutting out a piece of long cloth I write "?nd" rv here I have left off, with a lead pencil. .ainrniiig avery r,; liuie 01 sjutluvo *n nu other saving of labor; spools of thread which are marked will not bo taken out of the house so often. It is an excellent plan to have a box for vegetable seed, another for flower seed, have each pack age labelled and none left untied ; a box for medicine, each package tied up with specific directions, and a particular shell for liquid medicines, also carefully la belled, will luve trouble. Above al things have order-a place where it is s< well understood that articles belong tba' each member of the family knows when to find them. If preparing for company make a list of what will be required ai the article occurs to you. I 'lave founc this an excellent plan in preparing foi camp-meeting. When the* summer o: winter clothes are put away for the sea son, each child's clothes aro tied up in i separate bundle with the nama and num ber written on it; if white, with leal pencil, if colored, with ink on a Btripo paper and pinned on the bundle. Th: clotheu which the children outgrow, am my own which I used to give away, now find ready sale for, thu? aiding ii paying servants' hire. I have often pail for several month's labor by Bellin) dresse1* which I have laid aside. In th fall and spring when I am packing awa the clothes, I place those I wish to ael in a separate box. to be convenient whe: "ll.J r__ CilllCU IUI. Young housekeepers should avoid buy ing granite or china ware which is flute or ridged. The plain Ls in better tast and much easier washed ; have a partie ular shelf or box for waste paper. Whe I have finished reading a daily paper cut or tear a notch in the top of it-at glance I can tell if I havo read it. J box for strings near the waste paper an a bag for rags are little things, nut the have saved me many steps. A sera book to preservo the many valuable r< cipes which are published is another coi veaience. An excellent plan iu nettie a hen is to mark each of them with tl: number you use, and tho day of tl month, on an egg as well as in tho men orandum book, which all housekeepc Bhould have. In this book should ne separate list of the silver, china, gla and tin ware, as well as kitchen Furnitur At regular times they should bo look? over and counted, a certain number io out for daily use, and the other lock? up to be ready when com puny comee. ' A dust pan to 6ave trouble in sweo ing ; thc hall lamp, covered with tissu paper or tarleton in summer, to preve so much rubbing of brans-these a among thc many plans for saving labe to which a careful housekeeper will r 'sort. Another item of economy in lab is to have less cooking on days when 01 wishes to have scouring of floors or was ing of window panes. Mam and og< with biscuit, and a good cup of tea coffee, is easily prepared and very pat factory at such times. Thc good hutba; is always willing to eat such a dinm and find no fault. One very important item in labor an ing is mending. "A stitch in time sa\ nine." With regard to tho lahor-savi machine of washer, wringer, etc., I ha had no experience. I had ono of ? former, hut, like most of her race, r washerwoman did not take kindly to As her work was very satisfactory, I c not insist upon her using it. I intcrH as little as possible with the servant employ, thns creating in them a fecli of responsibility, which works well I both parties. I have always attempt to have system in my housekeeping, 1 how varied arc Lue ?iiicrrupiiuiiB ! i ht an early breakfast : the house is clear up, and I think I will do a good mo lug's work. I go to the storeroom a give out dinner. There are so many ! tie things to be re mc m I .-red, each in self important, a little pepper or salt v be forgotten, and another visit to 1 storeroom is necessary. I lake my a at the table, with my work and bun of patterns, each child's pattern tied ur a separate bundie with a piece of colo cloth like one of their dresses. WI tho garment is cut out, a piece of goods ia tied around the pattern. I just beginning to be interested in work, when the cook cornea in, "Pie ma'am, give me a little more flour ; 1 made up my dongh too soft," Of cou: It has to be given ; accidents will hapj dy seat is resumed, grateful if the cl 1 dreh have not disturbed my patio: Frank, tho colored boy, cornea in, "Min Gertrude, Mr. Thomas ?aya please send him a handful of nails." The nails are sent, a sigh of relief breathed, when a etoo ie Loard. Old Uucle Sam wants "Missis to give bim a piece of bacca, if you please, ma'am." He hr an old man ; the tobacco must be given. While at the storeroom, the children wish lunch eon, which is given them ; thib I go to the dining room for. With a very indis tinct recollection of how I intended to shape the article 1 am working, I again take my seat, when one of the tenant's children como in with "Please, ma'am, Home medicine for mammy's baby." A little baby mast not be neglected, so the medicine is sent. Whilo I am at the storeroom, danton, my little boy, comes up crying ; . Jiu hu cut bis foot ; be has to be attended to. Dinner cime comes ; I feel that I have been very busy, but lit tle cutting out has been done, and I won der how can I economize labor. Many persons are extravagant in their expenditure of labor. Like Martha of old, they are cumbered with many cares So intent are they in keeping a faultless' ly neat house, that they worry every member of the family. Mrs. Smith is u house-keeper who is quoted by all of her acquaintances as a model. To be as good a house-keeper ats she is thought to bo is to have attained perfection in tho art. Faultlessly neat,spotlessly clean, is every* thiug which is subjected to the visitors' inspection, but ob, at what an expense of comfort! Sho is always fretting, com Slaming that everything is uot as it should e. When company comes, she has au air suggestive of apology. Tho servants dread a scold i ULT it a small duty is omit ted. Tho children are more at ease when out of tho houeo than when iu it. The husband is cramped in his movements She complains il his boots are dusty, if he forgets to placo his hat on the rack, or chances to pince a newspaper or book on a table not expressly intended for those articles. No wonder ho thinkB such a waste of labor unnecessary, and wonders "Why in ihe mischief dou't sho sit down and keep quiet I" What a man wishes in his homo is rest and peace. Solomon tells us, "Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith than an house full of strife." I have quoted from Solomon aa the wisest of men. We are told that ho had seven hundred wives all of whom wera princesses. Think of bring subjected to the tongues of seven hundred women 1 And this he had to stand for a long life, not the threo score s:;d ten years which is tbs ordinary lime allotted to man to livo. Verily, Solomon "in all his glory" was not to be envied. As sunshine to the material world, causing everything to expand under its genial influence, no is good humor to the moral world. There ia no labor-saving machine equal te a bright, energetic wo man. She infuses new life into tho econ omy of tho household. If there is a necessity, she can bake, sweep, dust, patch, manage and contrive, remember "A servant with this clause Makes meanest work divine : Who sweeps a room BB by God's laws Makes that ami tho action tine." Such a woman is a fortune in herself, with ber boundless love, her infinite trust, willingness to merge every thought ana feeling into the union of married life, in its oneness-its completeness. Humbly, reverently, she realizes her responsible [loaition, her children respect while they ove her, ber husband is strengthened to renewed energy by her cheering words as he realizes That has survived tho aw? Pipe Smoking in Turkey. It is not an uncommon thing lo see a Turk smoke from sixty to eighty pipes daily. The pipe ia tho indispensable companion of tho Turk in every occupa tion, how earnest and important Bocver it may be. In the Supreme Porte, in tho Ministerial Council, whore the Turkish grandees debate regarding the welfare of their fatherland, tho question was once discussed, whether, during the considera tion of State affairs, the tschibuktschis (pipe-bearers) should not bo excluded. Great was tho difference of opinions; long was tho contest between tho yearn ing of the palate and the senso of pro priety; till at last was victorious the sentiment of somo corpulent members, who thought that it would be wrong to reject ignominiously the old custom, and that the blameless tschibuktschis must bc Eermitted, as before, to enter the cha?n er and give the needful attention to the pipes. And yet all the members know very woll that ibis resolution was preg nant with mischief and danger, for thc cunning servants, while busy with the piy:.i. snatch up with quick ear many a aawet of 8tate, and before even the Sul tan and the official world have any knowledge of tho decisions of the Su premo (Jouncu, many weighty debates and decrees have already (through the pipe bearers) been divulged. Conse quently, tho tschibuktschi is, next to the uer emit of the harem, the most valuable reporter whom tim journalists and ambas sadorial dragomans can -lind. Tobacco and pipes are not merely thc distinctive token;, of the different ranks. A muschir (marshal) would think it altogether un suitable to Bmoke with a pipe shorter than two ells, while the handicraftsman, or the official of a lower order, would be deemed presumptuous if his pipe-stc-m transcended the measure of that habitual with bia cloas. The grandees in contact or contrast with a man of low degree, can parade his pipe to its full length ; but j the man of low degree, modestly thrust ing aside or concealing his "instrument, must not show more of it thar, th? juth giece which he hold-, in his h Tho asha can, like the chimney o. ?teamer, throw forth clouds of smoke, but tho snhnrdtnato mnHt only ul low small cir cles of smoke, light aH zephyrs, to now from bis lips, and be must so contrive that the smoko "oes not go in front of him, but turns backwards. In the presence of a grandee, not to smoko is regarded aa a testimony of respect. This sign of respect a son is likewise expected lo show to his father ; and a well-trained and well-mannered son is regarded who, spite of the repeated request of his father, refuses to smoko. WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE POOR.-Sil ver spoons are used to scrape kettles. Ot'jucrr, tea, pepptjr and ap?cea are ?cit to ?Und open and lose their atrength. Potatoes in tbe collar grow and sprouts are not removed until the potatoes be come worthless. Brooms are never hung up and are soon spoiled. Nice handled knives are '.brown into hot water. The flour i.i sifted in a wasteful man ner, and the bread pan is left with the dough sticking to it. Clothes are lett ou the line to whip tc pieces in the wind. Tabs and barrels are left in tho sun to dry and fall apart. Bags, strings and paper are thrown into the fire. ' Bits of mest, vegetables, bread and cold puddings are thrown away when they might be warmed, steamed and served as good as new. NETT YOUR FASHIONS. OUTDOOR GARMENTS. Wbntover else you may ooo fit to do, have nothing to do with a short cloak. Neither let your cloak bo of plain mate rial, unless, perchance, that material bo silk. Yet, even hore I would advise tho choice of silk devised in mosaic patterns, for Fashion lins set her face against plain materials of every kind, unless as an off set to such as display bourctto or mosaic characteristics. Even plaiu volvet, al though the most truly respectable thing possible, ls nt a discount. Stylish cloth cloaks also show throughout, long, hairy tailings, and othc-.? arc mottled In keep ing with bourctto goods. As to shapes, in tho selection of something to grumble about, do not lot us choose those. They aro all that we eau ask, and with circu lars, dolmans and mantillas on tho ono side, and sacques on the other, one roust be a very Mrs. Uunenidge if ono docs not find something to unit. But, in my judgment, the stylo which will prevail is the demilong, half fitting sacque. In '.his sliepe the "Felicia" and "Amelia" are handsome designs, adapted either to material en suite with the costume, or to independent garments of any kind of goods. FURS. lu furs, tho polcrino is thc newest thing-a capo roaching to tho shoulders, and having long ends in front narrowed down and finished by three fur tassels on olthcr side. Bnso, however, aro by no mcaus discarded, but wo obsorvo an in increase in length, since tho most fash ionable are from two to two and a hall yards long. Muffs aro quito small, and finished with tassels of fur, theso being in greater favor in the way of ornamen tation than anything else. All thing! considered, seal skin is perhaps thc most desirable of funs, ns it is dressy cnougli to be woru with a handsome coutumo yet may suitably accompany a plain out fit, while it is also regarded an spprcpri' ?te for mourning.

If sho ls not very happy BIII ought to he, for oho has the satisfuctioi of knowing that sho causes many pang of unhappiness to tho women who surve; her with envious eyes.

The farmers of Illinois aro doing their share iu the work of reconciliation and j fraternity, and it will be a real pleasure to extend .the .warmest greeting* to their representatives next week. As wus aptly said tn tho invitation, we cannot forget that it was the Winnebago Agricultural Society which blazeued the pathway to a botter understanding between the sec tions, when Mr. Davis waa. invited to de liver an address before that community, although the number of irreconcilables at that limo prevented the consummation of well-intentioned purposes. Aa the progress of events liberalised public sen timen;, the originators of the forum? scheme for tho promotion of fraternal re lation* were enabled to carry out their intentions without serious opposition, and accordingly invited Governor Hamp ton to fill tho position ol anniversary orator nt tho exhibition this vear.

Hayes was to give his in fluence- in railroad Isolation in return for the $75,000, but it seems, that he is not willing to stand up to th e.bargain; and as to tho House committees, Gould could not find one that ho could count on. Consequently he returned somewhat out of humor, but ho won't.g>o it up yet; and, in the case of the $75,000. he means to get what ho was prom Lcd or' . there will be trouble. It seems that Vanderbilt has grown tired of having his name coup'.?xl with that, of Gould and other gamblers, in connection with Wall . street schemes, and ho has published a letter denying that ho is associated with them in any way.
