SILVERS PLASTIC PAINTS—CHEAP, DURABLE, AND PROTECTIVE—W EA THER AND FIRE PROOF.—This Paint will stand any climate, without crack or blister, and hardens by exposure, thus making in time an enamel of stone, protecting M ood lroni deca), and Iron and other metals lroni rust and corrosion. This Paint differs from the so-called Mineral Paints of the day, which are principally Ochres .i eu..., -11111 tirf*l v worthless. U l&V4 Vlit I c V » ... Silver's Plastic Paints are purely Metahc, con- j tabling no Alumin or C lay. j They are levigated finely, mix readily with Linseed Oil, (without the trouble of grinding,) and flow under the brush as lively as the best White Lead. These Paints excel all others in body or cover ing properties, one pound of which will cover as much surface, as two pounds ol White Lead. There are four natural colors, viz Black oi Slate, Brown, Olive,and Chocolate. Directions.—This Paint flows freely under the brush, and its covering property is increased by using it mixed as thickly as possible, with 11 kk Linseed Oil; as the Paint is the lasting or pro tecting body, and the Oil simply the medium or agent in spreading it.

I give > ou with pleasure my full and hearty recommenda tion of it as a preventive ot Fire communica ting from chimneys, or from adjoining buildings. The Paint w hich you put on my root, has now become as hard as slate, and 1 feel as secure trom Fire, in this direction as is possible. A lew weeks after the roofs hail been painted, I made an experiment on two or three shingles, b) pla cing them in the furnace under the boilers; the result was, that the portion uncovered was en tire! v consumed, while the Painted part was ap parently sound, though upon examination tiie wood was found to be charred; the Paint, how ever, wasfinn, and but little blistered. I consider this as severe a test as your Paint can be put to, ami under the circumstances, 1 do not hesitate to i commend it as an invaluable preventive against Fire.

In Paul’s address to the Athenians (Acts, xvii,) he quotes a heathen jH»et, confirming a .sentiment he had uttered. “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; U9 cer tain also of'your own poets have said, “tor we are also his offspring.’ ” He is supposed to have referred to Aratus, the Sicilian, and Cleanthes, the stoicof Assos. Mr. Lewin has furnished the following translations; From A rains. From Jove begin we. Who can touch the string, And not harp praise to heaven’s eternal King? He animates the mart and crowded way, The restless ocean and the sheltered bay. l)oth care perplex? Is lowering danger nigh? We are his offspring, and to Joy we fly. From Cleantfu*. 0 resit Jove! most glorious of the immortal hand! Worshipped by many names; alone in might! Author of all! Whose word is nature’s law! Hail! unto thee may mortals lift tlieir voice, For we thino offspring are. All things that creep Are hut the echo of the voice divine. WHEN TO CUT WHEAT. Cutting w heat at the proper time, (says the Piedmont Whig) is a matter of more impor twice tluiu iarmers generally are aware ox. When wheat is cut from ten to fourteen days before it is fully ripe, the grain not only weighs heavier but measures more, being of decidedly better quality, aud producing a larger proportion of tine flour to the bushel. As the graiu ripens, the thickness of the skin rapidly increases, woody fibre being formed at the expense of the starch and sugar. By this process, the quantity oft he flour is lessen ed and its quality deteriorated. It is there fore all important that the wheat should be cut while sugar, gluten, starch, water, Ac., still constitute a large proportion of the grain. The same reasoning applies to rye, barley, oats, Ac. This is not theory merely, but the result of accurate and carefully conduc ted experiments, made both in this country and France. ^____ WOMEN'S “RIGHTS” IX TURKEY. A foreign correspondent of the Worcester Palladium writes: “Please tell my friend, Miss Lucy Stone, that I saw in the streets of Constantinople, in yellow slippers, and riding straddle on a horse, Kara-Fatima-lIaneum.a noble and rich lady of Munich, who solicited aud obtained a command among the Turkish volunteer for ces. She has under her orders a battalion of five hundred wicked hiking Asiatics, equip ped by herself. She is about fifty years old, goes veiled in the ordinary mautier, but shows her face freely in spite of her veil. One sees by theexnrewion of her countenance that she is made of the right stuff. She will do something.” ^_ A FLATTERING PICTURE. The New York Times says that the fash ionable society of that city is a sham, from beginning to end. it is utterly unsound, de praved and unnatural—a deceptive piece of rotten wood, made to look shiny with French polish and glittering with the phosphorescent light of corruption—a copper cent, trying its very best to look like a five franc piece, and, what is worse, in nine cases out of ten suc ceeding.
