To Preserve Shingles ON Roofs.

There is much for US to learn as to the
best mode of covering our houses. The
following is one OF the modes practlsed
to some extent, and has proved, we be-
lieve. quite satisfactory. We copy from
the Spindle City,
A gentleman in Groton gave US the
other day the manner i'll which he pre-
pared his shingles, before laying them
on his house, some six years ago; and
on examination, we found they had a
perfectly sound and fresh appearances,
as though they had been laid not more
than month.
He had large boiler, which he filled
with whitewash, mixing with it, about
one pound Of potash to four gallons of
lquid, also about the same amount OF
salt. This composition he boiled, and
while it was boiling, he dipped the
shingles in, taking a handful at time,
and holding them by the tips. He had
boards placed SO that he could set his
shingles on them on end, and let the
liquid, as It ran off them, run back again
into the boiler. The shingles he allow
ed to dry in this position, before laying
them; and his belief was that, by thus
curing or hardening them, they would
last much longer. They could be color
ed red or yellow, easily, by mixing red
or yellow ochre with the composition.
The expense for shingles on roof IS
very considerable, as the most Of those
which we buy now, unless we go to
very high price IN purchasing, last but
for a few years; and theI eiore something
that will harden and preserve them like
the above, and which costs but little in
the application, will thankfully be re-
ce;ved by owners OF buildings.
SHANGHAE SHEEp.--One ofthe editors
of the New Orleans Picayune ( Mr.. Ken
daily having recently turned shepherd,
we have the following information in a
late number of that paper:
Shanghae Meep,-Sheep all the way
from China, good reader! Something Of
a novelty, that. We are accustomed,
thanks to Yankee adventure, to the
terms, Shanghai chickens, SC, but we
had no idea that the subjects of the
Brother of the Sun and fitty-third Cousin
of the Moon had any knowledge of the
value of the wool clip Or the taste of
mutton chops, One would imagine that
Chinese sheep would be like every thing
else that is Chinese-queer, odd. quiz
zlcal. But no such thing. These two
lambs-tor they are young 'uns-are
quite as simple, and woolly and dirty,
and respectable looking as the most civ
ilized Of their European or American
brethren. It's Of no use saying, Chow
chow or 'Tchi XII to them; they don't
understand the green tea language. A
long voyage they have had of it from
Shanghai, on the other side of the globe,
to New Y ork-which is already trip
long enough to frighten any decent sheep
and hen from New York to this city
OF denominations. They appear to take
it quite quietly, however, and thorough
" to understand the difference between
people who wear tight lndispensables
and those who sport baggy ones. The
two innocent little big lambs propose
emigratins to the praries Of Texas short

down peaceably in the same flock with
Mexican and Vermont specimens Of their
tribe. SO be it

Wonders of the Universe.

What mere assertion will make any one be-
lieye that in one second of tilne, in Que beat of
the pendulum of clock, a ray of light travels
over $4,000 miles, and would therefore per-
form the tour Of the world in about the same
time that it requires to wink '~ith Dur eyelids,
and in much less than swift runner in taking
one stride? What mortal can be made to be-
lieve, without demonstration, that the sun is al
most a million times larger than the earth? and
that, although so remote from us, cannon-ball
shot directly towards it, and maintaining its full
speed, would be twenty years IN reaching it; yet
i; affects the earth by its attraction in an appre
c;abie instant of time? Who would not ask for
demonstration, when told that q .gnat's wing, in
its ordinary flight, beats many 1findred times in
a second or that there exist animated and regu-
larly Utganizcd beings, many thousands of whose
bodies laid close together would not extend an
inch? But What are these to the astonishing
truths which modern optical inquiries have dis
closed, which teach that every point of medi-
um through which ray of light passes is affect

communicated to the nerves OF our eyes that We
see; nay, more, that it is the difference i'll the
frequency Of their recurrence which affects US with
the sense of the diversity of color? That for III

eyes are affected four hundred and eighty-two

NIGHT.
BY JAMES MONTGOMERY,

BY JAMES MONTGOMERY
Night is the time. for rest:
How sweetSwhen' n'iabUrs close,
TO gather reund'ana ching breast,
The curtain of reposc,
Stretch the Tired limbs, add hay the head
Down on our own delightful bed
Nightsthe time for dreams:
The'gay romance OF life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems,
Mixin fantastic strife!
All visions less beguling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are!
Night is the time for toll:
To plow the classic field,
Intent to find the buried spoil
It's wealthy furrows yeld
Tlfall is ours that sages tau ght,
That poets sang, and heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep:
To wet with unseen tears
Thosegrsves Of Memory,@here sleep
The joys'of other years;
Hopes, that were Hngels'at their birth,
But died when young, like things of earth.
Night is the time to watch:
'O'er oceans dark expanse,
To hail the Pleades, or catch
Thefuhmoon's earliest glance,
That brings into the home.sick mind
All We have lored'aa nd left behind.
Night is the time for care:
;Brooding on hours misspela,
To sec the spectre of'Despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus, midst his slumbelH Hg i,ost,
Summon'd to die by Caesar's4shost.
Night is the rime'to think:
When, from the cye,the soul
Takes flight; and on the utmost brink
Of yonder starry pole,
Discerns be! ord the abyss Of night
The dawn of uncreated light.
Night is the time to pray:
Our Saviour of withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
so will his followers do,
Steal from the throng TO haunts untrod,
And commune there alone with God.
Night is tn. time for Death! "-
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield he weary breath,
From sin and sulft ring cease,
Think of'heaven's bliss, and give the sign
'To!pattipg friends such death be mine.
