COLOR OF COUNTRY HOUSES

The Horticuturist for May, contains
d fine article on the color of country
houses, from the pen of its editor. II
its hints should receive the attention
they deserve, we should in few Years
see harmony and beauty in our rural
districts, where the eye is now constant
iy offended with glaring and offensive
colors. Scarcely any thing can be more
unpleasant to the eye than to approach
the sunny side of bright white house
in one of our brilliant midsummer days
Nature, full of kindness TO man, has, il
is well suggested, covered most of the
surface that meets his eye in the coun-
try with a soft green, so refreshing and
grateful TO the eye. His habitations APP
pear to be colored on the opposite prin-
ciple, 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 pervade the landscape.
Hence landscape painters studiously
avoid the introduction of white in their
buildings, and give them some neutral
tnt--one hich contrasts agreeable with
inc prevailing hues of nature around
men, IL is laid down as rule among
arlisis, That the color of all BUILDINGS in
the country should be of those soft and
quiet shades called neutral tints snch as
fawn, drab, gray, brown, &c. md ,ha,
all positive colors, such as white, yellow
red, blue, black, &c, should always he
avoided. This principle of householder.
ing Mr.. Downing adopts and sustains
by strong argument and illustraion.-
His practical instruction is that, in pro-
portion as house is exposed to view,
let its hue be darker; and where it is

TREATMENT OF COLTS.

Mr.. Youatt, in his treatise on the
horse, gives some excellent directions
for young horses during the process of
their education. He maintains that
colts are seldom or never vicious, by ma
,ure, to any such degree that they may
not be entirely subdued and rendered
tractable by kindness, and, in the subse-
quent parts Of breaking, firmness. The
greater number of horses, which have
become unfit for use by reason of their
unmanageableness either in the harness
or saddle, have been made SO by njudi-
cions treatment.
Young horses are often very perverse,
but their perverseness will be generally
overcome with persevering kindness
II may be necessary TO use correction
hut it should always be deferred until
the earliest processes of education are
completed, so that the animal may I'M
dcrSiand clearly what it is required to
do.
The breaking of colt should COM
mcnce from the time of weaving for if
delayed any considerable time, his
strength and obstinacy will be far more
difficult TO overcome. The usual mode
of accustoming the animal TO the ha tier,
the bit, and the saddle, are well enough
understood.
The colt may now be taken into the
street to be gradually accustomed to the
objects among which his services will
DC required. Here, from fear or play
fulness, considerable degree of start
ing and shying may be exhibited. AS
little notice as possible should be taken
If it. The same or similar object
should be passed again, but at a greater
distance. If the colt still shys, let the
distance be farther increased, until he
takes no notice of the object. Then he
may be gradually brought nearer to it,
md this will be usually effected without
the slightest difficulty whereas, had
there been an attempt to force him
close to it in the first instance, the re-
membrance of the contest would have
been associated with every appearance
of the object, and the habit of shying
would have been established Prairie

CANADA THISTLE,

| will describe my mode of destroy
ing the Canada thistle. 1t is one of the
most troublesome plants that infest our
soil, particularly in grain fields, where
they must be worked with the hands of
the laborer. We have resorted to var-
Gus methods TO destroy them, and have
ascertalned that by cutting them as close
to the ground as we can with cythe, in
June, or while they are in fresh bloom,
and the stalk hollow, will surely kill
them. We sometimes have to cut them
two successive years. | prefer cutting
Just before a rain, SO that the water may
get in the hollow of the stalk, which will
rot it. | will here state for the benefit
of the readers Of the Cutivator, (for
calculate you are all farmers,) that
have had on my farm great many Cam
ada thistes, and when | have cut them
as here stated, it has entirely destroyed
them.-.4lbany Gull.

EARLY TIMES IN INDIANA.

Said Major OudesIy, as he casually
dropped in on us yesterday morning, and
commenced talking away in his usual
quiet, chatty, and peculiar manner,
"Pm sick and tired of this artificial
way of things in these latter days"
Why so, Maori I"
There is a tarnal sight too much
parade about every thing that is going
on. l was at wedding last night-tho
daughter Of an old and much esteemed
friend was TO be married, and | was so
urgently invited, that could help 90
ing there was SO much fuss and parade
that | was perfectly disguised. could
not help comparing the proceedings
where couple was married at Lawrence
burg many years ago, when Indiana
formed part of the great North Wes-
tern Territory. At that time the settle
ments of the emigrants were mostly con-
fined TO the rich bottom lands of the
water courses. Lawrencebure was then
small village with few log cabins
My father was acting magistrate for the
district, and very promptly attended to
the various duties of that office, in addi-
ton to which, he was in the habit of do
ing a good deal of manual labor on his
own hook"
"That was when you WASH big enough
to do much, Major p
Exactly, | was tow-headed brat of
some eight or ten years old, when the
incident | am about TO relate occurred
but ! remember all the particulars as well
as though it occurred but yesterday. You
see it was dinner-time one day in the fall
of the year, when the old man being en-
gagged in laying in supply of wood for
The winter, drove up his ox-team with a
pretty solid load of fuel.
Just then young and unsophisti-
Gated couple entered the village hand in
hand, inquired for the Squire, and were
duly directed to the house. The youth
was barefoot, and wore close, but clean,
tow linin shirt and pants, and rough straw
hat Of home manufacture. His fair
companion was dressed in blue striped
lrock, pink cotton apron, fine bonnet,
and coarse brogan shoes without any
stockings.
These were their wedding dresses,
ana their severe simplicity and the thor
ouSh independence they manifested,
made an impression upon my mind that
will never be effaced."

THE NETTLE.

The nettle is generally considered by
farmers and gardeners as useless and
troublesome weed; but it needs little
argument TO prove that the most COM
mon gifts of Providence are often the
most useful to mankind. The common
singing nettlc is one of the best medi-
cines which is produced in the vegeta-
bic kingdom and its medicinal quail
ties ought 10 be more generally known
and appreciated. In the form of SIM
pie, weak infusion, taken in the quanti-
ty of pint Il day, it acts as an aItera-
tive and deobsruent in impurities of the
blood. A strong decoction, taken in
the same quantity, proves an admirable

ton. Applied as fermentation or poul-
tice, it relieves swellings and abates in
Examinations and the expressed Juice,
taken in spoonfuls, as the oxigency of
The case may require, in internal bleed
ings, is the most powerful styptic known.
We may add, that its leaves, when boil
ed, are converted into tender, healthy,
and nourishng aliment, grateful to the
palate. And yet there are few plants
whose appearance is viewed by the far
mer with more disgust than the singing
nettle.
