PArNT1NG.---Repeated experiments
have been made within a few years,
which have proved that house painted
late in the autumn or in the winter, will
hold the paint more than twice as long
as one painted in warm weather..
The reason is obvious for when
paints are applied in cold weather, the
oil, with the other ingredients, form a
hard cement on the surface of the wood,
which cannot be easily erased; where
as, a building painted in warm weather
will soon need another coat; for the
heat causes the OIL TO penetrate into the
wood, and leave the other component
parts dry, which will soon easily crum-

ADVANTAGES OF AN EMPTY PURSE.

People may talk as they please about
independence. Your only real indepen-
dent man is he ofthe empty purse. What
is the rise or fall of stocks to him What
cares ne for commercial failures? What
for high or low prices? What for taxa
ton OF national debt? What for commo-
tons, revolutions, the decline and fall
Of empires Nothing. He smiles at
the robber by night and the tax-gather-
er by day, and regards the exciseman
and pickpocket with equal indifference.
He isyour free philosopher, worthy Of
the eye of Jove--One who stands,
mUnhurt amid the war ofelements,
The wreck OF matter and the crush ofworlds.o
