THE BRIGHT SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE.

In letter published in the Lynn Mass
Pioneer, giving description of the fire in
Piitsburg, we find the following passage
"1he big church below me kept the flames

side me, and Jesse behind us i'm the omen

four or FIVE of the mass came TO me and ask
ed where my house was pointed to il, and
accordingly they went TO work and cleared
every room IN that house, bringing on, everv
thing, believe, that it contained, the kitchen
furniture only excepted; they brought out
every bedsiead, every bureau; they brought
my lip salve, my tooth brush, all nv books
and papers, every struggling pamphlet and
newspaper and, finally, pulled my sign off
The wIndow-shutter. Nor did .hcy stop al
this; but they procured dearbornc wagon,
and never stopped till they had carried every
article to place OF safety, taking glasses and
breakable articles i'll their hands ] do not
know the name Of one Of them. Two black
girls Of fourteen or fifteen years Of age carried
out good furniture wagon load Of articles.

watching them till they were finally removed,
and all refused not only compensation or
wages, but they refused 10 accept presents

cause | believed it conld not be saved but by
being carefully carried 10 the country. lie
took it away. Yesterday left my office-door
open; and, when came back, the clock was
on the mantepiece keeping time and exactly
right. My goods were carried 10 six or seven
different places upon the hill above the town :;
they have all been returned to me believe,
and all that | have paid for trouble taken was
two dollars to the WAGNER. Yesterday CO.
lored woman brought home our first washing
Of white clothes since the fire, and begged
| that we would accept the tri0ng favor from
her, because we bad done SO much for 'her
kind of people.' Mrs. +. saw bundle of her
clothes upon cart on the evening of the fire
as she was going up on the hill she took
hold Of it, and the cart went on, leaving the
! heavy bundle on the road with her. Two
! liule~ragamuilin boys, less than twelve years
/ old, came 10 her assistance, and carried it a
/ gsea, way to the house Of an acquaintance
when she took out her purse TO pay them
there was not cent in it. 1t was hand
some bead purse; she offered it to them.
/ mo, indeed, said one Of them, we'd be
ashamed to take any thing from you 81 such

BOARD OR RIBBON HOUSES.

Mr.. EpIroR During the past season ws
erected house upon The plan how coming
ieso practice i'll This section. The best way
TO make myself understood, will be to tell
what we did, and how we did it. >
The house is 40 by "a feet, and about IL
feet high The lower or main story is 8 feet
in The clear. The stills are laid upon good
wall. The boards or ribbons used for The
snperstructure, are Of hemiock, inches wide
and one inch thick. These are laid one upo6
the other, in the. same manner as brick work,
care being taken TO break joints. The par.
nnons should be carried up and worked into
The wall with the main body. The door and
window frames should be put in at tine fftne,.
and worked to. but they should not be nailed
IN, or any way fastened otherwise, when the Z
mass settles, j, will break out the nails Il
shonld merely put in some OF the ribbon;
which could be taken out when the perlpas
neht fr&mers are 10 be put up.--AlIewances
must be made for seiling. If the boards are
seasoned, ) inches will probably be enough;
bat II green, at least 6 ought TO be allowed.
( The partitions should be designed so as to
strengthen the middle of the wall We have
! two In ours. dividing into three rooms, two OF
| la, one of II feet in width. The partitions
are carried up TO the roof, and plate dispens-
ed with, though ridge pole is necessary.
| The boards were nailed with eight-penny
nails, except four or five Of The last courses;
which were thckly nailed with los. The
outside we have sided up, aud the inside we
shall plaster directly upon the wall. Itmakes
very warm and cheap house. The only al
tsration we shall make in the next will be
TO saw the timber ] i-2 inches thick instead
OF | inch. In every other particular, il is
right. Some plaster outside Blu, as we had
never seen any done in that way. we did not
like To risk it, especially as the season was
getting late Thus far it he's answered Our
mos, sanguine expectations. P.
