mentioned the confirmed Incorporate habits of
DIR. Brooks. the not uncommon result of habits
af extravaganza, which had already made great
inronds on the property ofhis father-in-law, who
found too late, in the idle and worthless charac-
ter of his daughter, that most surely as the twig
is bent the trees Inclined and that to make
home happy or prosperous, a woman must be
educated for that purpose in habits of usefulness
and industry, and to unt!ring efforts of moral
and intellectual culture. An utter ignorance of
all domestic duties, the ministering to her vanity
in every foolish expenditure for dress and display
contempt for interiors, and a servlle of imitation
of the more wealthy and great, rendered Mrs. B.
sufficiently unpopular among her neighbors, and
her home eventually too unattractive to her has
band to lure him away from his gay and idle
companions. And is it strange that the habits
thus induced; from which he never recovered

PLAsTER-ITs OpERATIoN.-We have fire.
quentIy heard it asserted by farmers, that plaster,
after it had been applied for one or two years to
crops, on the sam soil, ceases to produce any
beneficial effects. Liebig, in one of his able
works, explains the cause of this as follows:
"When we increase the crop of grass in a
meadow says he, "by means of gypsum, we
remove a greater quantity ofpotash with the hay,
than can, under the circumstances, be restored
hence 1t happens that after the lapse of several
years, the crop of grass, on the meadows manure
ed with gypsum, diminish owing to the deficiency
OF potash" If,when we apply plaster or gypsum.
we should mix common house ashes with it, Oh
apply it to the soil either before or after be-
slowing the former, we should find the action Of
the other as energetic in the tenth or twentieth
year as the first. This has been demonstrated
by experiment and those who remain s%ceptica
have only to test the validity of the theory tc
satisfy themselves of its verify. On soils of
clayey texture, we consider gypsum one of the
best applications. We have tested its value in
variety Of instances, and have no scruple in rec.
ommendlng it, especially as a 6 manure for land
in grain and grass Maine Farmer.

CoLoR OF Country HoUsEs.-Thc Horticul-
turist for May contains a fine article Oh the color
of Country Houses, from the pen of its Editor
If its hints should receive the attention they de-
serve, we should in a few years see harmony and
beauty in our rural districts, where the eye is
now constantly offended with glaring and olfens-
i've colors. Scarcely any thing can be more UNI
pleasant to the eye, than to approach the sunny
side of a bright white house in one of our brill
liant midsummer days. Nature, full ofkindness
to man, has, it is well suggested, covered most
Of the surface that meets the eye in the country,
with a soft green, so refreshing and grateful to
the eye. His habitations appear to be colored
on the opposite principle, and one needs in broad
Sunshine to turn his eyes away to relieve them
by a glimpse of the agreeable shades that every
where else pervades the landscapes. Hence
landscape painters studiously avoid the introduce
ton of white in their buildings, and give some
neutral tint-one which contrasts agreeably
with the prevailing hues of nature around them.
1t is laid down as a rule among artists that
the colors of all buildings in the country should
be of those soft and quiet shades called nuteral
tints, such as fawn, drab, gray, brown, etc, and
that all positive colors, such as white, yellow, red,
blue, black, etc, should be avoided. This prin-
ciple of house coloring Mr.. Downing adopts, and
sustainS by strong argument and illustration
His practical instruction is! that in p%ropotion as
a house is exposed to view, let its hues be darker

inches longer than the slide, making it changea-
bic 6 or 8 inches, which makes the difference a
long and a short yoke. The morticc is made an
inch wider at the bottom, than the top, with a
groove in the center, half an inch each side to
rest upon, an iron belt at each end OF lIe morti-
ces and one in the center, which goes through a
mortice in the slide and preserves the requisite
strength. The slide is regulated by an iron hasp
attached to it and enters holes in the Yoke half
an inch apart, which makes it easily fitted to any
yoke of cattle from a long to short, and to give
the advantage to either OK from half an inch to
6 or 8.
