WOMEN'S WORK. Much of It a Sheer Waste of Time, o A Praotioal Knowladge of Usoful Lobor Desirable: But Exercise and Reading Preferable to Purely Ornamental Work. ‘Wo hiave nover Lhiad much to sny upon tho sub-+ Joct of women's work, bocause it Las always ecomod to us that most ot it was A GIEER WASTE OF TIME, ruinous to the health, both physically and intol- loctually. That much of it is {ascinating from' its prottinoss; that it somotimea producos pleas- ing objects,—wo aro woll awnre; but that, in many casos, it is rthor a dotrimontal ocoupa~ tion, wo cortainly boliove, We are not reforring to gonuino labor of any kind, by which numbers ot women ara obligod to support themsolves, but to tho triflea of fancy-work to which idle womon dovoto many hours wilh scarcoly lpprculnbln‘ rosults. % ‘This is not 60 apt to be tho case with young girls a8 with those to whom lifo, ono would think, shoumld have brought gravo duties ownd ‘thoughtful worde, The formor are’ too full of lite and vivacity to caro much for monotonous sowing of any Xkind, and profor to “ gad tho streots," as a Puri- tan spinstor, with donunciatory .oxpression and cemphasis. would observe, Happy girlal in ‘whom nature atill claims her rights sufiiclontly, ‘o mako o propor domand for o supply of oxy- gen, and opportunity for mecossary musoular dovolopment, If the artificial atmosphere in which they havo boon brought up, tho high- prossure systom upon which theyhave been edu- catod, makes this same ** gadding tho streots™ open to consure, it mood not bo so under propor conditions and suporvision, Botter that than yards of embroidery or huge pieces of Bore lin-wool work, which tell of ruined oye-sight, aching back, &nd wasted time. AN HOUR A DAY is sufficiont for nny girl to dovoto to her needlo, ond in that time she can leam, under proper in- struction, all of the necessary work which moy porliaps fall to hor share later in lifo. While she is in school, it will be scarcely possiblo -for hor to give even this amount of time to. the acquirement of such knowlodgo. Thatitis . woll for hor to bo thus taught we admit, adding toit, na sho grows older, a practical study of dress-making, millinory, sud other women's _trados; mot mecossarily loarned in shops, | through regular apprenticoships, but at Lomo, from o special artist, as eho loarns musio, draw- ing, or othor accomplishmonts. But, if overy woman were thus made inde- poudont of tho trades-pooplo, what would be- come of tho poor girls who are dependent upon such knowledgo for the abaolute moans of keop- ing lifo within thoir overworked bodics ? Bo- cauge each young lady now-a-dnys plays ¢ Yankeo Doodl,” *“Monastory Bolls,” or Boothovon's uonntns, doos it follow that music-teachera hnve censod to find a markot for their talents ? Do- causo theso same school-girls may draw o littlo, paint o little, or dance a little, have thosa who toach thoso arts lost their occupation 7 By no menus, But, {f o revewso of circumstances makes an application of this kuowledgo neces- Bary, thon thioy can, if thoroughly competent, ENTER THE LIGTS WITIL TIE WORKEDS, Bo in regord to tho othor practical knowledgo of which we were speaking. Very fow women sould do any of Lhoir own sowing from chaico ; but, if Alphonso was not rich, and there was that protty gronndine dress, costlng u moro song, that could bo bought if it did not cost so muc! toget it mode, aud Arnminta would look so charming in it after it was done, what then? 'Ihis is o caso in which & knowledgo of the man- tuamaker’s art would be worth quito as much ns o smattering of very bad porspoctivo, or a capa- Dbility of rattling off a polks or rodowa. ‘Lhe woman who bas large means, aud who s the | modiste's best customer, has lior time sufficiont- 1y occupiod by the duties of her station to pre- vent hor from thus robbing her trades-poopio of their just proportion of labor, even if n cortain strain of svarice or penuriousnoss might prompt Lier to do go. DBut, if Madame's husband should suddonly fail, and she bo obliged, with hor daughtors, to circumscribe their lives, theh, with many of her old occupations gone, s cortain knowledge of evory variety of womsan's work MIONT PROVE VERY DESIBALLE, i It would romodel tho old dresses, and mako . thom suitable for tho presont condition ; it ‘would avoko loves of bonnets out of eoraps of ribbon and Iaco ; it would belp to make poverty endurable, respectablo,—all but desirable. The lattor we cannot consoientiously say wo think it could over bocome. We always thought tho old provorb, that ** 'U'he love of money is the oot of all ovil," was slightly wrong ; and that, Tor the word which_roprosonta o positive degros’ of afection, snother should be substituted, which, dofined, would mean want, or abaence rathor, of tho circulating modinm, - We aro by po means inclined, tharoforo, to spothoosize Yoverly; but meroly bint at aids towsrda tlio: batter ondurance of it. We belluve, then, inn knowledgo of all useful arts for a woman, and that technical acquiromont which shall make 1t & pouaibility for hor to dress and appear well on very limited means. ¥ 8hio who takes a nice dross, and rolls it into & ’rrfl, wrmklcmlg l:lt énebrinvn’bly, nlxlnurlli‘ng that ' Sho cannot fold 1t properly ; that never bd ok & thing to do. ¥ ¢ Lt 18 BIMPLY A VULGAR IDIOT.

On Thursday aftornoon, befors thio killing, this boy had been informod that his unclo was desirousof taking him to Europo with him. -Tmngino the condition of this boy, just appronching his 20th year. Ho had 'beon a burdon “on his mothor for support, and the idoa_ prosontod itsolf to him that if he did not loavo hor then the timo would soon come ‘when ho must leave Lor, to bo no moros burden ‘upon hor—ha must onrn his own living. Natur- ally, ho was dolighited at the idoa of going to Europo, but thon hoe thought of his ‘mother's uneafo condition, and the possibility of making hor seouro. Counsel thon dwelt upon the pris- oner's affeotion for his mother, and his brother and slstors, On Saturday ho received snother installment of that horror which had boon woighing upon his ynun§ mind for eo long, when another lottor came from the father who hod 80 Jong poraccuted bis family. (Ar. 0'Con- or road a portion of tho lottor of May 31, which has slroady been publishod, in which Mansfield Walworth threatons to kill his wifs unless he ia allowed to see his childron, and ssys ** tho tragedy must come‘.x‘l? Yot this lotter, Mr. g‘Couur 8nid, ght bo called gon- tlo ond affectiouato compared 'with others. ‘Whatever hopes young Xrank might havo entortained that his fathor might havo had Lis wrath assuaged, this lottor was a fresh proof of his continued wickednoss, What was ho to do? Ho did not say anythiogto his mothor, ‘but ho still hopod that he might do something to conciliate his fathor, and give some assuranco to ono of only & child's oxperience liko him that his mother might bo mado safe. A young boy liko Frank might found his hopes upon very slight oircumstancos. It woe 80 oxtravagant aa not to be thought of for & moment that Frank camo to Now York to entrap his father intoa small room and murdor him. Lato ou Bunday hie formed thie rosolution to see his father, sud thoro was no criminal sccrosy in his subsequont condugt. Mr, O'Conor then road the prison- or's lettor to his unclo Clarenco, thank- ing him for bhis offer to take him .to Turopo, nud oxprossing his _ intention of going to Now York to sco his father, Now, said_counsel, woroe thoy to boliove from that let- tor that tho prisoner came to Now York to kill his fathor? Holeft his toncher as a good, hon- cat, purc-hearted lad, under the most terriblo circumstances, hoping, as only youth ean_hopo. ‘Thore was honost inuocence in”all that he in- tonded doing. Counsol thon alluded to the pris- oner’s borrowing just enough money for his trip to Now Yorl, and to his expressed intention to Do back in Snratogn on Tucaday. Ilis writing o note to his father to bring him to the hotel had been presented to tho jury us being the flrat of his trenchorous acts. Counsol was sure that the District Attornoy would not continue to prescnt this lino of argument to the jury, aud thon Mr. 0'Conor deecribed the prisoncr’s going to his fnther’s houso immediately upon arriving in tho city, putting himsolf in dangor witlout foor, expecting and hoping in his simplicity to soe his father, and tho accident of his father's not be- ing ab homo; ronding tho Tioto to his fathor ‘which the prisoner left, containing no spacial in- vitation to his fathor to come and seo him, but meroly saying : “ Call at the Sturtovant Houso aftor ‘an hour or two; I want to try and sottle somo fomily mattors.,” There was no ovidenco. to show that kind of craft which would precodo & plotted murdor—not a scintilla of proof to this offect. Counsol described- thio nunusually carly hour at which Mr, Walworth called upon his son, who showed no eigus of expeoting him or lying in walt, being sound ssloop in bod ot the tima. Ho would epeak more partionlarly at another time of the catastrophe which ocourred when his father came up-stairs, but he wishod first to rofor to tho fact that ono witness hod teatified thot thore was o cry of murder from tho room, Ho thought thot Mr. Ebert was mistaken in so tos- tifying, comparing this witness’ ovidenco with that of others, ter the ehooting, young Wal- worth fled so rapidly os to indicato couscions guilt under ordinary circumstaunces, But it was’| not tho Jlight of n murdorer, aaid Mr. O'Conor, sud he thou deseribed tho prikoner’s immedintely going to give mself up. Evorythlng tho pris- oner had done was charasterized with & calmuoess which showed his condition to bo entirely differ- ent from that of o doliborato assassin, Counsecl detailod at longth tho wholo conduct of the E)rls- oner after the shooting at the hotol, and at the! Polico Statlon-Houso, speaking of the dangor of , tting ovidonce na to the conversation of the prisoner, and the ease with which such conver- eations wore distorted, often unintentionally. Tho Police-Sorgeant’s evidence as to what the prisoner told bim, waa read and criticized by tho. counsel, who objected to the quostions asked hs. the Bergoant. ‘Theso mynisters of justice, wal he, wero oftenled by their zeal to collect evi- dence, and consider it their placo to do as much rosecution as possible, boing led to color_and discolor what they hoar, just na law- yora do, - The Coroner's interviow with the pris- ¢ oner was also analyzed and commonted on by | this counsol. It was ornol, unconsciously go, ho | thought, to construe what tho prisoner sald tof| both those witnesses into n construction of hav- ing come to the city to kill bis father. The pris- | guory in all tst bo hnd gaid, displayod simpliol- | ty, sndnot argumontativeness. He kuow tint, | taken upon its face, what ho hind done was a ter- rible crime, and yet he had displayed no desiro to excure himself, Ho protostod usninsl intor- roting what young Walworth had said about | Eav}ng como to the city to settle a family difficul-' ty into an sclmowledgmont of haying monnt to kill him, The second napect of the oase only dopendsd upon the fact of the prisoner being, tho son of the man he had killed, and it woa: proper to consider how far thia oiroumstance Bhould affeot tho cago, There was no proof of any of that munfi ‘which makos it criminal in & young man to kill his fathor. Counsol then rofarred to tho history of tho prisoner's family from the; time of his mothor'sinarriage, reciting. in dotall the story of Mansfleld Walworth's. noglect and bad troatmont of his wife and !nmil{.' Yrom the timo of the separation Frauk only knaw his fathor o4 a flerco, desporate man, {hore being no ovidonoo that Lis father evor addfessod to him one ginglo kind word, or evon didn singlo ot of affectlon or rogard forhis son, Ho know him not a4 a father, oxcopt by report, Ho hnd nover recolved n father's trosfment from him.

Whon ovory inetinot taught bim to hold him in horror aud dotestation as tho enemy of Ly ohildren and Lis family, nature did not require that ho shonld honor such o man. 1o then dwelt_upon tha prigonor’s love for hia mothor, und the offact upon him at hearing his fathor's drendful thronts ngninst her. It would havo boen & violation of every feoling of humanity for a ohild to honor such & paront, Evory “Instinct taught him to stand ready to rislk life aud ovorything to dofoud his mothor ngainst such & wild benst, It wus the bigheut, boliost duty of o child to protect his mother. If tho remorsoloss law required his lifo, was thora n humau boing on tho face of the carth who would not say, * My boy, would " tary wonl that Imight give my life for yours ?” Did tho Iaw rmlulm that this poor boy nt the knoos of his mothor should bo soizod and drmxgcd forth to bo hanged 2 That law was not mndo for such onuos, It was mado for villains aud murderors, He waa not arguing thint tho jury should violate any law, but ho was dwoliing on tho poculiar faola of tho caro, constituting tho eloments of assault upon the prisonor, oven thongh ho woro tho son of tho man ho slew. Mr. O'Conor again_alluded {o tho infamous charnctor of Munsflold Tracoy Walworth, and in words of culogy spoko of tho conduct of Mrs, Walworth under hor trinla and sufferings, and of the good charaotor of the prisonor, which scarcely any one could find words trong enough to chnractorizo. ITo swaa without a crimo or a serious fault, unloss it bo that ho dearly lovod Lis mothor. Mo was now tho hope, tho ‘only protector of this family, and counsol drew an_effcoting plotura of tholr lonoliness and dosolntion _ with- out' hum. Counsol; then proceeded to orguo the quostion of tho prisoner's sanity, The Diatrlct Attornoy's witnossen could ot say that the prisoner might not have hoon ineaue at the timo, oxplainiug thoe dootrine of tho law to the jury that, to constitute orimo, it waoa necessary to show froo will on the part of tha porson committing the nlleged crimo. Coun= sol quoted Joromy Taylor, “tho grontost of modorn doctors in morsls and theology,” to sup- ort this dootrine, and alse quoted from Prof. avon, of Amhorst Qollogo, Connaol lioro manl- faatod somo sunoyance and contradicted Judge Davis, whon his Honor said that the law of this Btato was contrary to much of what the counsel had boon rondi: fix g Mr. O'Conor then reforred to mnny cascs of supposod inrdoldu, enciont and modern, to sup- ort what ho had boforo asgerted, that the crime nd novor beon dnubomtoli committed, and 8ald that if tho jury found that this atrooloua crimo had boen committed by tho prisoner, it wonld bo tho first time such a vordiot ovor wont upon rocord. Mr, 0'Conor’s apooch did not terminate until nearly 7 o'clock. ———— THUNDER AT THE EAST. A Now Doparture in Maine, From the Portland (Me.) Argus July 1.
