EMERSON'S ROYAL PATENT CEMENT PAINT.

CHAFFER Cy THOMPSON,

ETAVING purchased from the Patentee, Dr. EMERSON,
of Pittsburgh, North America, the right to MANUFAC-
TURE and VEND the above celebrated PAINT, are now ready
for delivering the same.

This valuable and economic Paint, (being only about one-
sixth the price of Oil Paint, and yet more durable, is far supe-
rior to any other at present in use in this country,) for out-door
work, such as Fronts of Houses, and all places exposed to the
weather, giving a beautiful fine tut-stone appearance.
It being altogether of a Mineral Composition, the atmospheric
air does not act on it as with otter Paints in which oily or ani-
mal matter is introduced ; but when laid on the walls it rapidly •
acquires the hardness of Stone, and does not chip or blister,—
it being fully tested that the severest American Winter has no
effect whatever on it.
It is made of any tint or shack., but a fine Portland Stone
Colour is generally preferred.
It is simple in its application, being ready for use on opening
the Cask, and may be laid on with a common Paint-brush.
From its adhesive quality it will cling to any surface—Brick,
Stone, Asphalte, or Roman Cement ; to the latter it has a pecu-
liar affinity, and may be applied while wet.
Sold in Iron-bound Casks of One Cwt., Bs. ; Two Cwt., 15s. ;
Three Cwt., 225. Fine qualities for Inside Work at 10s. and 12S.
per Cask of One Cwt.
P.s.—Orders received by THOMAS and BENJAMIN CH A FFER,
Flag Merchants, Great Howard-street; and at the Manufactory,
Ford-street, \ auxball-road, Liverpool.

• CoLoup. OF TEE STARS.—Some undefined circumstance
in the constitution of the celestial bodies produces the
effect of their exhibiting not only a different degree, but
a different kind of lustre. Their light is by no means
uniform. The ray of Sirius differs not merely in intensity
but in kind from that of Vega; that is perceptible in this
country, but in those favoured regions where the at-
mosphere is more pure, where less of humidity and
haze exist, the difference is striking, even to the
naked eye, " one star differing from another in
glory." One star shines as an emerald, while
another glows as a ruby, adorning the winter sky with a
rich variety of sparkling gems, differing not more in size
than they do in hue or brilliancy. The circumstance of

many instances in which a red and green star are associated,
or a yellow with a blue. This may be the result of optical
delusion, when the stars are of different degrees of bril-
liancy ; as the eye has a tendency, when gazing on any
bright colour, to endow fainter objects near it with the
opposite colour as a relief; but this is not always borne
out, as many instances occur in which couples, in precisely
similar situations, display no such contrast. Sir John
Herschel was at first inclined to the opinion that a diver-
sity of colour did inherently exist in each star ; but he
has subsequently appeared more inclined to attribute the
phenomenon to 'some circumstances connected with the
beholder.— Wonders of Astronomy.
MINOR MORALS FOR MARRIED PEOPLE.—" The las
word" is the most dangerous of infernal machines. Hus-
band and wife should no more fight to get it than they
would struggle for the possession of a lighted bombshell.
—Keep an Epictetus in your dining-room, to read
while waiting for the 'completion of your wife's toilet.--
Married people should study each other's weak points,
as skaters look out for the weak parts of the ice, in order
to keep off them.—Ladies who marry for love should
remember that the union of angels with woman has been
forbidden since the flood.—The wife is the sun of the
social system. Unless she attracts, there is nothing to
keep heavy bodies, like husbands, from flying off into
space.—Wives, be lenient to the marital cigar. The
smoke always hides the most disagreeable part of the
battle.—The wife who would properly discharge her
duties, must never have a soul above buttons."—
The liberties of England have been won by mutual con-
cessions. Let the husband who would acquire the privi-
lege of asking friends to dinner without notice, remember
this when his wife hints at a new bonnet. The wife's
want is the husband's opportunity.—Notwithstanding
the assertions of mathematicians, the marriage-ring is a
circle which husband and wife have the problem set them
of making all square.—Don't trust too much to good
temper when you get into an argument. The Indians
produce fire by the rubbing of the driest sticks.—Sugar
is the substance most universally diffused through all
natural products. Let married people take a hint troth
this provi.iion of nattire.--Punchs Pocket Book f6r
