Prkskrvino Siitnoi.k* ON Hoofs.—
Rome paint roof shingles after they arc
laid. Tliis makes them rot sooner tlian .
they otherwise would. Others paint the
courses ns they are laid; this is a groat j
preservative, if each shingle is painted I
tire length of three courses. Hut about I
as sure away to preserve shingles, and |
that with little or no expense, is a mode |
recommended in a letter to us by Hon. j
David Hunter, of Clinton on the 23d j
of February last. We publish so much j
of his letter as relates to this subject, in |
hopes that it may be of service to many |
of our readers.
'* There is one tiling more that nearly
all people know, if they would attend to
it; that rs, to sprinkle slacked lime on
the roofs of their buildings in rainy days.
Put it on considerably thick, so os to
make the roofs look white, and you will
never be troubled with moss, and if the
shingles arc covered ever so thick with
moss, by putting the lime on twice, it
will take it nil off, and leave it white and
clean, and will look almost as well as if
it had been painted. It ought to be
done once a year, and, in my opinion,
the shingles will last almost twice as
Dong as they will to let the roof grow all
over moss. I tried it on the back side
of my house ten years ago, when the
shingles were all covered over with moss,
and they appeared to be nearly rotten.
1 gave the roof a heavy coating of lime,
and have followed it nearly every year
since, and the roof is better now than it
was then, ami to all appearance, if I
follow my band, it will last ten or fifteen
yearslonger. The shingles have been
on the roof over thirty years. There is
no more risk about sparks catching on
the roof than on a newly shingled roof.
Those who do not have lime near by, can
use good strong wood ashes and these
will answer a very good purpose to the
same end.
The action of the limn is to cleanse
the surface of all impediments to the
free and rapid passage of the rain water
off. This enables the shingles to dry
very soon, and consequently prevents
rotting. Moss-covered roofs will rot
very rapidly.— Rural Intelligencer.
A Ur.MAitKAin.K lintTH.—The Journal
dr* Anuonree, of Lisle, announces that a
married woman residing in a commune
near that town, and who has twice been
brought to bed of twins, lias just been
safely delivered of five children—three
boys and two girls. All the children
are well formed but small, and are in
good health. A singular phenomenon
is stated by the Journal to have attended
the pregnaey of the woman. During
the last two months all the objects before
her eyes appeared to be several times re
peated, but since her delivery her sight
has returned to its natural state.
P. I’. P. P. PItINTINO PIIKSSKS, I’l'L
pitr and Pbtticoats.—These are the
three great levers that govern the world.
Without them the bottom would fall out,
and society would become a clmos again.
The press makes people patriotic, the pul
pit religious, but women sway all things.
There would be no going to church if
there were no girls there, neither would
there be any going to war were the soldiers
to meet with no applause but from the
masculines. Without the sunshine shed
by women, the rose of affection would
never grow, nor the flowers of eloquence
germinate. In short, she is the engine
of life, the great motive power of love,
valor, and civilization. In proof of this,
truth in all history speaks trumpet
tongued.
A SiMrt.E Rule. —To ascertain tho
length of the day and night, at any time
of tho year, double the time of the sun’s
rising, which gives the length of the
night, and double the time of setting,
which gives the length of the day. This
is a little method of doiug tho thing
which few of our readers have been
aware of.
John Adams, the second Presi
dent of the United States, was a practi
cal business man and a careful husband
ry of time. The following entry appears
in bis diary recently published :
1 ‘F riday—Saturday—Sunday—Mon
day—all spent in absolute idleness, or
which is worse, gallanting girls.”
'■Teddy, my boy, jiat guess how many
ehcese is in this bag, au - fiuth I’ll give
ye the whole five.”
“ Five,” said Teddy.
“ -Vrrnh. by my sowl, bad luck to the
man that toold ye.”
Jt-f/' “Simon,” said Hob, “ what are
you doing now-a-days for a living?”
“ Nothing particular. lam theowncr |
of a ship.”
“ Owner of a ship ? What ship ?”
“ Steward-s/iM) at Sam Johnson’s col
kr.”
iff*" The editor of a paper in Schenee- i
tady, in describing the effects of a squall 1
upou a canal bout, says that “ when the
gale was at its highest, the unfortunate
craft keeled to larloard, and the captain
and another cask of whiskey rolled over
board.”
Xir?’Wife, said a married man, looking
for a boot-jack after she was in bed, I
have a place for all things, and you ought
to know it by this time. Yes, replied
she, I ought to know where you keep
your late hours, but I do not.
ti-iT Pious Darkey.—“ Sam why you
not talk to your niassa, and tell him to 1
lay up his treasure in Heaven ?”
Practical Sam.—" What for? What
dc use of laying up treasure dere, whore
he uehersce ’urn agin, eh, nigger?”
&it~ An Irish sailor, as he was riding,
Miadc * pause, and his horse in beating
off the flics, caught his hind foot in the
stirrup, the sailor observing it, exclaim
ed :
“ Ilould now, Dobbin, if you are giong
