He stated that the young wheat had been so cut up and destroy- ed that in some places -he could not hope for any produce. - Well, my friend, said his lordship, I am aware that we have done con- siderablo injury; and if you can produce an estimate of the loss you have sustained, I will repay you. The farmer replied, that antici- pating his lordship s consideration and kind- ness, he had requested a friend to assist him in estimating the damage, and they thought, as the crop seemed to be quite destroyed, 50 would not more than repay him. The Earl immediately gave him the money. As the harvest, however, approached, the wheat grew, and in those partsof the field which were the most trampled, the corn was strongest and lux- uriant. The farmer went again to his lordship, and being -introduced said, "I-am come my lord, respecting the field of wheat adjoining. such a wood. His lordship immediately re- collected the circumstance. Well, my friend, didI not allow `you sufficient to remnnerate you for your loss! Yes, my lord, I nd that I havesustained no loss at all, for where the horses had most out up the land the crop is the most promising,` and Ihave, therefore, brought-the 50 back again. "Ah! ex- claimed the venerable Earl, this is what 1 like ; this is as itsshould be between man and man. He thenlentered into oottversation with the farmer, asking him some questions about hisfamilyi--'how many children hefhad, etc. His lordshipthen wentinto another room, and returning, presented thefarmer with a cheque '-for 100, saying, Take care of this, and when your eldest son is of age `present it to him, and telljhim the occasion that "produced it.' we know notvvhich .to`admire the more; the benevolence or the wisdom-displayed` by -this illustrous man; for, "while doing a noble not of generosity, he was handing down a les- snii ofintegrity to another generation.-Britislt T Woflrmaujor 'Spte1nbe1'-.` nuul um uumatuu tum uauaeu net` to tounuer.

V. ` ' ;\[:u`ch 3, 1858; _ - 9 In New England, houses are generally n- ished inside by being orepsred over the plaster- ing. Thiscertainly improves their looks very much, so long as the `paper is kept clean, be- sides adding materially to their warmth; yet thegreat objection to it is, that smoke, y- specks, &c., soon soil the paper, and render frequent renewal necessary. This difficulty has been completely obviated by J. Lane,of East Abbington Mass., who put on two coat- ings of arrowroot starch, made thin, and fol- lowed with a coat of varnish, so that it can be - washed without the water defacing the paper. This`starch strikes through the paper, and fastens it to the wall, and the varnish gives a shining or glistening appearance to the room, whichstruck me, on seeing it, as peculiarly agreeable. It had been often washed, yet the paper appeared as perfectly clear and new as if just put on. This is not theory, but an ex- periment, worth repeating. As the starch `and thetvarnish areboth transparent, the colors of the paper shine in all their original clearness and beauty for any required length of time. Such nish is as easily washed as whitewashed, and obviates the continual soil- ing of the clothes with whitewash. It is a very great improvement. n..- -___-._.:-_'_|__._|.I L ..... -_ L- ,L_____-,n One precaution should, however, be observed -to select colors which will.not spread when the starch is applied, which is easily ascertain- ed by trying the . experiments on a. small piece. ! ---. u""' ----.--------- l ,__r_..._..- _..-_... -- ..-........._ Many readers will no doubt remember that splendid mansion in Broad Street, near Ches- nut Philadelphia, which is plastered and colored yellow, and has withstood the weather these ten years, to my lrinowle-tlge, probably longer.

Brushes more or less small may be used, ac- cording to the neatness of the job required. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside walls. Coloring matter may be put in and made of any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in willmake a red or pink, more or less deep, according to the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed up with Spanish` brown, before it is stirred into the mixture, makes a lilac color. Lampblack and Spanish brown mixed together produce a reddish stone color. Lampblack in moderate quantities makes it slate color, very suitable for the out- side of buildings. Yellow ochre stirred in makes a yellow \vash,,hut chrome goes farther, `and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases, the darkness of the shade will of course be determined by the quantity of coloring matter used. It is difficult to make a. role, because the tastes are. very different; it would be best to try experiments on a shingle, and let it dry. I have been told that green must not be mixed with lime. The lime de- stroys the color, and the color has an effect on the whitewash, which makes it crack and , peel. When -walls have been badly smoked. l and you wish to hare them a clear white, it is well to squeeze indigo plentifully through a bag into the water you use, before it is stirred into the whole mixture. If a larger qnantityl than five gallons should he wanted, the same proportions should be observed. `,A__, I IUGIIIIJII D, ULPUIIIIIUUIZ Take half a bushel of nice, unslaicked lime, slack itwith boiling water, covering it during the process, to keep in the steam. Strain the liquor through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peek of clean salt, previously. dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice, ground to u. thim paste and stirred and boiled hot; halfapound of powdered Spanish whit- ing; and a pound of clean glue, previously dissolved. Add ve gallons of boiling water to the whole mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few days, covered from the dirt. It should be put on quite hot: for this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable furnace. It is said that about cnepint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the outside of a house, if properly applied.

I know not whether the Har- ris family are rich or poor; whether they sent their son to college or let him to get his own education. It is certain that at twenty-seven years he depends only on himserf, trusts only to himself, is astonished at nothing, thinks nothingimpossible. never inches, believes all things, hopes all things, tries all things, triumphs in all things, and rises up again if he falls, begins again if he fails, never stops, never loses courage, and goes right ahead whistling his tune. He has been a farmer, a schoolmaster, a lawyer, a journalist, a gold- .hunter, a manufacturer, a merchant; he has read everything. seen everything, practiced everything, and travelled over more than half the globe. When I made his acquaintance he was commanding a steam-yacht III the Piraeus, with sixty tnen and four guns; he was dis- cussing the oriental question in the North American Review; he was doing business with an indigo house in Calcutta, and he found leisure to come three or four times a week to dine with us. ' The falls of Niagara is an an instance of the power running water may exercise in altering the features of a country. It is calculated that, by the sap and fall of the hard limestone rock, over which the river is precipitated into a softer shell- fonnation beneath, the cataract retrogmdes to- `wards Lake Erie at the rate of 50 yards in 40 years. The distance already travelled by it, from the lower opening of the narrow gorge it has evidently cut by this process, is about seven miles; and the remaining distance to be perforated, be- fore it reaches Lake Erie, is about 25. Had the limestone platform been less extensive,- this enor- mous basin might have been already drained, as it. ultimately must be, when the [all has receded to its margin, its average depth beimz far less than the height of the cataractq The proper name of the Falls is Nineura or ._/Jghem, twu Indian words, signifying-lIark to the thunder. - Quarterly Review.

To him heaven comes in the long-used musical tradition. The middle aged man looks around at the present; hopes less "and works more. The old man looks back on the eld he has trod; `This is the tree I planted; this is my footstep; and he loves his old home, his old carriage, cat, dog, staff and friend. In the land where the vine grows, I have seen an old man an all day long, a sunny autumn day, before his cottage door. in a great arm chair, his old dog crouched atvhis feet, in. the genial sun. The autumn winds played in the old man s venerable hairs ; above him on the wall, purpling in the sun- light, hung the `full clusters of the. grapes, ripening and maturing yet more. The two were just alike; the windstirred the old man s hairs and they whitened yet more. Both were waiting for the spirit in them to be fully ripe. The young man looks back.
