The sitting room is, or should be, the the Uu ^-^IJCIIUU sanctorum of father or mother, or any individual, but it is, above all others, the family room, or, ua it is beatftifully called in some rural ncighkorhoods, the living room. Here t^e family collect in ii* evening, upon the Sdbbeth, and in the intervals of daily labor ; her*, indeed, they "live/' in the truest sense of the term. Gradually, the sitting-room becomes hallowed ground ; the baby's first steps aye taken between the lounge and mamma's rock ip^-cheir in the aitting-:-oora:*thf new £oo|m and magazines collect tfpon Its convenient table, lessons are conned by its shaded light, and mysterious birthday and Christmas plans concocted in the recesses of its boy window. For, of cr.nrse, it must have a bay window, and the bay window muid hare low seats, and look out^ipop the garden. A sifting-room should npt be one of the -cctangelar, spick and spaa new, carefully laid oiit, and carefully kept in order rooms, like a garden at Versailles; but it must be kept very clean, and requires the expenditure of a good deal of time and thought to preserve it so. Naturally many things of many kinds accumulate in tDAsittiag-rooin — current literature, papa's chess-board, mamma's work, the children's books and games, tbw baby's rag doll — and various other belongings of different members of the family. In winter, if there is no conservatory, or room specially provided, the birds and plants find their home there, and, though they add much to Its attractions, contribute not a little to the care which it is necessary to bestow upon it. It is easy to put six chairs straight, and insist that they be kept so, but it is not easy to permit the freedom necessary to oomfort, retain the cleanliness, and get rid of the appearance of untidiness and disorder which is as fatal to enjoyment,, as fussy, and tiresome restraint. Nothing assists the housekeeper to meet all these xfifTerent requirements so much as habits of neatness and order on the part of the various members of tlie household, tf pencils are carelessly cut *pon a handsome table-cloth, if nutshells, apple pealings, or orange-pits, sfo dropped on the floor, or left about on stand and mantle-piece, if hats arn thrown down, and books left about for anybody to pick up, and put away upon the shelves, disorder will not only be the normal condition, but ii will give rise to eternal fretting*, and scolding*, and bickerings. It will be •< Who did this T and "1 didn't/4 and "You did"— all the day long. This spirit of evil must not And

There are persona who shelter themselves behind n a tuial proclivities and inherited Uutlenciea as an excuse foi their ahortooming, but this shows weakness, end willing nees to shirk responsibility, which is unworthy .frf.those.wha poesem reason, morel sense, snd will power, Jhe buainese of every Jhing animate and. insula in this weepi is growth end Improvement, and {the first effort* we make to this end are much better directed towards ourselves t*u gur neighbors. Charity of this kind should certainly always begin at home. It is only where we are locking, that our efforts are needed ; what we do natural l>\and spontaneously will take care of. itself, and requires neither motive nor stimulus. The sittiYg-raora, then, expresses not only the rgothcr, in its comfort and - " dpmmatea ji t*a family, wueuier nu-ife and contention, or kindness and consideration. Some of the charm of the "sittingroom," however, seems to me to have departed with tho abandonment of the noedle, and the introduction of machine sowing. Not that I am insensible to the great benefits the introduction of the sewing-machine has conferred, but the revolution it has created tends to now conditions which tho women of the present day cannot fully meet, or even understand. To some it list given abundant . leisure, which they spend upon the street, not having the resource* which leisure and culture in the past would have given them. To some it adds to a hard daily life a tormenting anxiety to vie with others (who can afiord to employ experts or artists) in the style of their garments, or * -x has been tripled and quadrupled since the sewing-machine made it possible to execute needle-work with rapidity. Thus the quiet afternoons when sewing alternated with, or was accompanied by. reading and conversation, have dissp peered— the noise, even of the "noiseless" sewing-machines is not favorable to exercises of this description — in addition to which the strain upon the nerves of five or six hours' close application is an great that there is nothing left for mind or body to put in any other direction." In this way, large numbers of women hAve gained ruffles and over-skirts at the cost of repose, ami the most beneficent possibilities of social life— neighborly intercourse, and the chance of a quiet, cheerful, hospitable home. The sitting room, indeed, is fast disappearing ; tho more i think of it, the more it seems to !>e1ong to a past, less formal, and more friendly age : for the new order of > women— business women, and professional women — it cannot have an existence ; while among fashionable women its place has been taken by the more elegant boudoir, which has 110 social meaning whatever, and represents only isolation, vanity, and slefishnes*. Shall I ever forget one sitting-room, tho favorite resort of the family in tho house of a dearly loved friend, with whom, when a girl, I spent a long, bliss ful summer month? It was a country house, and the sitting-room was the front room upon the second floor, opening Upon a wide piazza. There whs matting upon tho floor, some engravings, a Mignon, I remember, upon the papered walls, a deep ohlntz covered lounge, some book -shelves, several low cushioned chairs, and always a bouquet of rose* upon a "shelf in the corner (wo should call it a bracket nowadays). But the j glory of the room was the books, some , of which were extremely rare and , vnlwnlfle — a Dante, Plato, some illumi nated missals, and religious works illu* t rated in tho severest interests of orthodoxy,— what realistic methods people did believe in, the days when those books were made 1 There was a nece the same age as myself, and as only one servant was kept, wa made it our business to keep the sitting room in order, replace the roses when they faded — tenderly remove the dust from tit* ancient books, ami also from the rryre modern works: Mary Powell, Memoirs of the Bohon berg Cot ta family, and the like, which - we read in tuitt while other members of the family sewed, through the delicious summer afternoon*. In the morning we rose early, for breakfast was over by half past six

ETCST- ■ fa-, Mil ,'U W. Ii; IHl, 11 1,1 ' ' ■' |lt o'clock, and then, basket* or tin kettlss in baml, we (the niece and I) went to the kitchen garden, picked the fruit ro quired far the day, also the peas, the lettuce, the cucuwbers^nd then returned to sit uuder the shadow of the vineelad porch and prepare them for the table. W ith the washing of t^c dinner dishes, the work for the day wgs done, except setting the table in the cool of the afternoon for Asa, a privilege accorded to the . "gjrU," and which we ^ould not have missed upon any account. mih Recalling those sunny day*, the fragrant air/the freshness and cleanness of the shaded rooms, in which work never seemed to have been done, or need doing, I wonder if there are any such paradises now, any homes where tho trail of the serpent has not been seen, any sitting-rooms where roses and honeysuckle {Hsrfume the air, and the foot of time falls so softly as It did st the Red Farm?

How much the world owes to the Quakers — to Quaker women particularly (I do not know so much about Quaker men]— it would be hard indeed to compute. Their silence, their gentleness, their habits of self communion, their spirit of self-sacrifice, their pure simplicity of dress, their honesty, their truthfulness, all exert, and have exerted an influence for good which will be felt as long as the human race continues to exist. If ever it could be right to separate Utntli Iroin lium.nitr. inrt nnlt.wRh rsect, the Quakers, it teems to me, would be that sect. But I have wandered from tho sittingroom, and must return to it, or to the causes which are helping to make it desolate. There is a modern spirit of unrest which is at war with whatever in contented and reposeful. It takes women into the street, and furnishes tliem witli all sorts of reasons for staying there instead of at home — air and exercise are necessary for them — they stag note within four walls, and so on. But aro they any better or bappior for all this objectless perambulating up and down dirty side-walks, gazing in at shop windows, and commenting upon the length of each other's skirts, and the differences between the looping and draping of the polonnise? Air and exer cise are good, so is change, as stimulus, and for the enlargement of tho ideas, | but it must be a chango from one intelligent occupation to another — because change is needod, and because tho purpose of one phaso of life has been workod out. Participation in household duties affords a large share of the exercise required, while pure air is simply a matter of regular and thorough ventilation, not ut all dependent upon a certain number of hours in the street. Few, moreover, take anything home with them which compensates for their absence — no consent, nor sense of satisfaction, no brightness which they can weave as a thread into the monotonous web of daily existence — only disquiet, dissatisfaction, a desire for whatever they have not got, which eats like mildew in household happiness, sends the husband to tho club, the boys into the street, the ! girls into loveless marriages, for a home. ! j A great deal is said and done in 1 j glorification of the activities of modem , life, and it is no wonder that women become infected with prevailing ideas, and wish to join the throng of outside j workers, or, failing that, see with their own eyes what is being done. But there is a greater necessity than ever for quiet, restraining influences, for a foundation of honor and respect for what is good and honest and pure, which can only he laid in youth, st home, in tho family, and through the perpetual j ministrations of the old-fashioned family !

During the "hard winUgv 9t '77*.Fben thirty thousand unemployed wotkmpn haunted the streets of New York, driven to beggary, or too often theft, a man rang at the door of a house in one of our largost cities, and atked for something to eat. lie told a glib story of his discharge from a woolen mill, and said he had a wife starving not far away. The mistress of the house made it a rule not to -give alms that winter, except after personal examination of the case of each applicant. She went into her kitchen and odeeed a substantial meal for the man, -who ate ravenously. He wOs a young, honest-lookingfellow, hut there were heary marks of dissipation on his faoo. Suddenly he dropped rAT I is —a — ■> the door. "Who's that?" he cried. "Johnny ! Johnny !" The lady's little girl, a child of three, had followed her from the nursery, and stood in her white gown in the door-way, her fair curls tumbling orer her free. The tramp recovered himself with a hoarse lsugh. "I beg your pardon," he said. "It's your child, of course. I — I haven't seen a child for a long time." But his food seemed to choke him. In a few moments he started up again in agitation and said "MAdam, I am not a workman. I am Jim Floyd, and 1 was discharged yesterday from Moyomensing prison, where I have served out a sentence for burglary. 1 wo* a decent man once. I left my wife nnd my old mother up in Pottsville, and — my baby." While he spoko his eyes were fixed on the child with a terrible hunger in : them. "Little one," he said, holding out his hands with a pitiful entreaty, "shake hands with me, won't you? I wouldn't hurt a hair in your head." The mother's heart gave a throb. The man was foully dirty, just out of a prison, full, perhaps, of disease. But the baby (surely God sent it) ran forward smiling, with both hands out. Jim kneeled down beside it, the tears rolling down his cheeks. "It is so like Johnny!" he muttered. "It is like Johnny !" "You'll go back to Johnny and your wife and old mother? said the lady. lie would not promise. "It's too lato to make a decent man of me," he said, nnd presently putting on his old cap, ho went out. Six months later, the lady received % ' nn ill-spelled letter from Pottsville. "I 1 nm at work here," it said. "That night I I had planned to join the boys sgshi. I But your little girl saved me. I came j liorno instead. It wasn't too late."-— 1 Chatham Covsirr. — ♦ ■ * A Working Education . To learn to work skillfully with the hands must booom© a port of common education.
