1gaged, at the Emperor Of Russia, in
building a canal to connect tho interior

MATERIAL FOR BUILDING TIoUs.
Es.-The Scientific American, in an
article on the cost of materials for
building houses, says that house
near Fishkill has been constructed,
the walls Of which arc prepared
gravel. Walls two hundred and
ffty-six feet in circumference, aud
eleven feet four inches high, cost
S79 to put up, and this amounts to
as many feet as are embraced in q
house forty-fve feet long twenty
Eve feet wide and twenty.one feet
high two stories and a half. The
materials of which the walls are
made, are compounded Of oiyht bush
els of Stacked lime, sixteen bushels Of
sand, and about sixty bushels Of
fine and coarse gravel, This wall
had stood summer heats and win
tor frosts, and is getting harder and
better every day. When stone,
wood and brick are high, this is con-
adhered very economical material,
especially for the const, uction Of cot
tases around the neiyhborhood Of
o large city.

Goop. Tho Bayo.iI sssara Ledger
I.tellsithe toliowing story: sass
AJgentleman told us an anecdote
the other day, which we think is too
good to be lost. He said that a rich
old fellow who use to live i'll the neigh
borhood Of Natchez, Mississippi, used
to keep q carriage and q pair of horses
for his daughters exclusive benefit, and
as matter of course, the young ladies
used to make good use Of them; scarce
y a day passed over their heads that
did not End them going or comiug from
Natchcz. The old man, i'll the mean
time, you must recollect was very close
in matters ofmoncy. The horses be-
gan to look thin-so thin that one
would have supposed that their only
proyender was barrel hoops, shavngs,
or something similar. One day the
old gentleman was standiug in front
of one Of the principal hotels in Match
ez, when his carriage rolled past, and
his horses were made the subject of
conversation. The old gentleman said
he could not account for their being so
poor, he was sure that he had done all
in his power to make them look de-
cent, and had tried almost everything,
but the confoundcd horses never would
improve.

SAVE Your EARNINcs.-Thc prac-
tice which apprentices, clerks, and 9TH
ers have, of spending their earnings as
fast rs they accumulate, is one great
reason why SO many never attain a
position above mediocrty in life. A
person who receives but small COM
pensation for his services, will, with a
little care over his exchcquer, and q
system Of regularity in his cxpcndi-
lures, find that at the end of the year
he is prepared to encounter any emer,
g"ncy or mishap. But, rs general
thing, they manage to get rid Of their
earnings quite as quick as they arc
due, thus leaving them wholly unpre-
pared for emergencies, by sickness or
otherwise. "A system Of curtailing un-
necessary expense, if adopted by our
younger folks, would bring around the
most happy and gratifying results, and
be the means Of raising to eminencc
and standing in society, many who
now have contracted the habit of part
ing with their earnings so readily and
toolishly-tor the habit Of keeping
continually i'll debt, begets Indifference
and dissipation, lack of selfrespcct,
ard an utter disregard for future pros
poets. The real cause for great deal
OF crime msy be traced to the habit of
a foolish expenditure of money in ear
licr days.-Albany Transcript

IyArER PRooF B5oTs AND Shoes. ,ls
The February number ofthe Am.
ericaa Farmer has the following
recipe for rendering boots and shoes
waterproof, which the Editor says he
tried with perfect success:
Take one pint of boiled linseed
oil, two ounces of becswax, two oun-
ces Of spirits of turpentine, and two
ounces Of burgundy pitch. Let them
be carefully melted over slow
hire. With this mixture new shoes
and boots arc to be rubbed in the
sun, or at little distance from the
fire, with sponge or brush. This
operation should be repeated with
out wearing them as often as they
become dry, until they are fully sat
uratcd, which will require four or
i've times brushing; by this the leath-
er becomes iaperyious to wator. The
boot OF shoe, thus prepared lasts
much longer than common leather;
it acquires such pliability and soft.
mesa that it will never shriyel, nor
grow hard, and in that state is the
most eRectual preventive against
colds, sc. 1t is necessary to re-
mark that shoes and boots thus
prepared ought not to be worn until
they become perfectly dry and elast.
ic; as in the contrary case the leath-
er will become too soft, and wear
out much sooner than it other
wise would

the peculiaritics of a contemporary:
lie is too lazy to earn meal and
too mean to enjoy one. He mover was
generous but once, and that was
when lfe gave the itch to an appren-

heart! OF his industry, he says the
pubic may judge, when he states that
the only time ho worked was the day
that he mistook castor oil for honey.
