j PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, FOR PRI-
vATE BENEFIT.-Therc are variety
ofways in which Z citizen may add 10
the beauty of town, and at the same
time promote his own comfort and IN
terests. 1t may be well to recapitulate
some of them. for the purpose of re-
.freshing the minds of our reades.
When person erects building, i
is just as easy, and costs no more, to
have it Of the right proportion, and
comfortable TO the rules oftaste, as 10
have it disproportonej, unsightly and
ugly. Yet how many Of the latter
class are built, which are continual nui-
sances, and standing monuments of the
want of all taste and refinement in the
builder.
What need is there Of having the
street before ones front yard filled up
with stumps, chips, litter and filth
throughout the year? A very little la
Dor in leisure hours would remove them
all yet there they remain-beiore some
houses perpetually, stumbling blocks,
vermin-breedcrs, and inlalliblc signs of
the want of taste, cleanliness and in
dustry of the proprletors.
1t costs but little to cover house
with coat of paint and give it new,
finished and anlmating aspect; yet how
many arc left TO blacken and blacken,
until they present gloomy, deserted
and siuggardly appearance? Besides,
it is conceded to be good economy to
paint.
BY little attention and trihing
expense, one may in short time have
his home surrounded with shade trees,
fruit trees and shrubbery. The most
humble residence, ornamented in this
manner, is more beautiful than the most
costly Standing out naked Of all foliage,
as it were in desert.
There is nothing lost in making our
homes comfortable and attractive. In
deed, more and more attention is eve
rywherc paid to these subjects as civ
lllzatlon advances.
The stranger when he arrives at
place, forms his opinion ofthe state of
its society and the character of its citl-
Zens, much more from these external
appearances Of their residences and pla-
ceS of business, than he does from their
public buildings or his personal inter
course with then. He forms an i'm
preston from the first look, favorable
or un(avorable, which is very likely 10
grow into a settled opinion. If the
residences show a want OF taste, clean
illness and refinement, the conclusion
is irresistible that there is the same
want in the citizens themselves. lie
who has beautiful residence is truly a
public benclactor, continually advanc
ms the interests of the place, and con-
tributing TO the pleasure of every pas
ser by.
There is too>little attention paid TO
these subjects in this country, both by
villagers and farmers, because we are
too much engrossed by the more d.
rect|y profitable improvements. In
every new country, where the atten-
ton Of the inhabitants must for few
years be turned exclusively to the alb
sofute necessaries Of they are apt 10 ae-
qnire habit for neglecting the COM
forts and ornaments of life, as though
they were unworthy Of notice. The
time has now arrived in this country,
when public opinion and public taste
should be such that these improve
ments could no longer be neglected
with impunity.-[ Racine Advocate.

the foolish, from an excess of folly.
