Cheap Wash for Cottages of
Wood.

For the outside of wooden cottages,
barns, oui-buildings, fences, &C., where
economy is important, the following wash
is recommended:
Take clean barre. that will hold wa
ter Put in it half bushel of fresh
quicklime, and slake i, by pouring over
i, boiling water sufficient TO cover it or
3 inches deep and stirring it till slaked.
When quite s!akeG dissolve in water,
and add two lbs. os sulphate of zinc
(whi,e vitiroI which may be had of any
of The druggists, and which IN a few
weeks, will cause the whitewash TO har-
den on the wood work. Add sufficient
water to bring il TO the consis,ence Of
thick whiiewash.
This wash is of course white, and as
white is "a color which we think should
never be used except npon buildings a
good deal surrounded by trees, so as to
prevent its glare, we would make it a
tawn or drab color before using it.
To make the above wash pleasing
cream color add 4lbs. yellow ocre.
For fawn color take lbs. umber,
lib. indian red. and l-2 ID. lampblack.
To make the wash grey or stone col
or, add | lb. raw umber and 2 lbs. lamp
black.
The color may be put on with COM
mon whitewash brush, and will be found
much more durable than common
whi,ewash, as the sulphate of zinc sets
or hardens the wash.
CHEAP WASH FOR COTTAGES OF BRICK,
STONE, sTUCco, OR RouGH-CAsT.-Takea a
barrel, and slack half bushel of fresh
lime as before mentioned: then fill the
barrel two thirds full of water and add
| bushel Of hydraulic cement or water
lime. Dissolve in water and add three
pounds Of sulphaie of zinc. The whole
should be of The thickness OF paint, ready
for use with the brush. This wash is
improved by the addition of peck of
white sand stirred in just before using it.
The color is a pale stone color, nearly
white.
10 make il fawn color, add 10. yel-
olw ocre lbs. raw umber l 10. lamp
black.
To make i. drab, add ID. Indian
red. ID. umber Id. lampblaek.
This wash, which we have tested thor
oughlv sets and adheres very firmly to
brick work or s,ucco, is very durable,
and produces very agreeable effect

The Mlooking Horsc-A Fun that
uas mo Joke.--A Frenchman, near the
Canada line, in Vermont sold horse
to his Yankee neighbor, which he
recommended as being very sound,
servicable animal, in spite of his un-
prepossessing appearance. To every
enquiry of the buyer respecting the
qualities ofthe horse, the Frenchman
gave favorable Ieply-but always
commenced his cemmendation with
the depreciatory remark-"He's not
look very good" The Yankee, car
ing little for the looks of the horse, of
which he could judge for himself,
without the sellers assistance, and
being fully persuaded, after minute
inspection, that the beast was worth
the moderate sum asked for him,
made the purchase, and took him
home. A few days afterwards he re-
turned to the seller, in high dudgeon,
and declared that he had been cheat
ed in the quality Of the horse. "Vat
is de mattaireY' said the Frenchman.
"Maxterp' said the Yankee, "matter
enough--the horse can't see !--he is
blind as batv' "Ahv' said the French
man--"VatI vas tell you'll vas tell

A Swollen Head, and the MAN.
ner Of HFeating 1t.

Smith and Rogers are good-look-
ing, middle-aged gentlemen, and very
clever, worthy, and talented fellows,
too, and tolerably prosperous in the
affairs of the. world; but, strange to
tell, they will occasionally get out on
a bit of a lark, without the advice and
consent of their constitutional advi-
sers-M est, their wives. Now it hap
pened last week that, after making a
night oft together, and indulging
in brief morning nap, they met at
the BARRIERS
Good morning, Smith, said Rogers.
sHow do you find youreself%

head a little queer, though
sAh, indeedr said Rogers. Fact

sWhat?' said Smith, Look lit
tie queer! What do you mean by
that?
Why, Smith, don't mean any Of
fence. | only think your head does
look little queer. l think it's swell

Smiths face was well lathered,
clear up to the temples, and his long
hair brushed backwards, hung over
the chair: He suddenly leant forward,
and, dropping the towel from his neck,
and looking into the serious face OF
Rogers with amazement, exclaimed:
You don't mean to say that?
But l do, though said Rogers: yet
it may be only a notion of mine
'Ohr said Smith; and he threw his
head back again and the lathering
process went on.
By this time Rogers had completed
the insertion, around Smiths hat, un-
der the leather lining, where it fits the
head, of a copy of the Baltimore Sun
which he showed to Robinson, a
friend who just then stepped in, a,
the same time placing the point fin
ger of the right hand alongside of his
nose, and casting a sly glance towards
Smith.
Good morning, Smith, said Rob-
inson; how do you find yourself this
morning old friend?
Pretty bright, Robinson said
Smith. i hope you are well my
friend,'
Quite well, l thank'ee, Smith
quite well. Buthow, what-eh, your

No, no, my boys he said with a
smile. Smith has a hard head
Smiths head don't swell for frolic!
and Smith laughed a glad kind of 6
laugh, which seemed to indicate an
agreeable condition of the inward
man, such as a man realizes wher
he is pleased with himself and the
rest of his race.
