The DANsra Or s+frpINe N loH,.r

THE DANeER OF S1EEPINe IN CHUeH.-An
old fashioned sounding board, Of huge dimen-
sions, was suspended over the pulpit of one
of the churches OF a neighboring city, by
means Of rope that passed over pulley,
and was Delayed under seat in the gallery.
This seat was occupied by sailor, on one of
those sultry Sabbaths in August, when Nor
pheus is so apt to come unbidden and spread
the mantle Of sleep over careless worshippers.
The Clergyman who had once been a sea-cap-
tain, was illustrating some doctrinal point by
nautical anecdote, while Jack, lulled into a
semi-consciousness by the monotonous hum
drum of the preachers voice was imagining
himself to be again afoat on the bosom of his
favorite element. The minister's story was
approaching its climacteric, his increasing
earnestness had awakened alarge part of his
audience, and the more exciting part ofhis mar
rative was being told with great dramatic
power. Suddenly, Jack, in his dreams, was
startled by what appeared to be the sharp,
quick command of his superior, -"Stand by
to let GO Let go Merer' He sprang to his
feet confused and half awakened, and seeing
nothing else to ''let CO." cast off the line
by which'the sounding board was suspended.
Gay, ay, sir, all gomez Down whizzed the
heavy sounding board, andthe minister ducked
his head under the pulpit, just is season to
save himself from being extinguished!

A country schoolmaster in the neighborhood
of Cuckney, the other day, after giving one Of
his pupils sound drubbing for speaking bad
grammar, sent him to the other end of the
room to inform another boy that he wished to
speak to him; and at the same time promising
to repeat the dose if he spoke to him ungram-
masically; the youngster being quite satisfied
with what he had got, determined to be exact,
and thus addressed his fellow pupil "There

dwellings, which has already stood several
years, and is now quite as fresh as when first
applied. 1t consists simply oflime wash, with
sulphate Of zinc as fixing ingredient. Any
requisite shade is given by adding the colors
used by house painters: A clear and rich
cream color may be obtained by applying vel

TEMPEnATURE IN THE Crystal Palace
A correspondent Of The Boston Transcript from
New York says:
But you will be surprised to know that the
hottest place in New York is perhaps, the
new Crystal Palace. Sheltered from any stray
sea breeze by the huge Reservoir which frowns
over it, and exposed on all sides TO direct rays
of the sun, its extensive surface of iron and
glass seems TO attract and concentrate within
il, all the heat that the atmosphere contains.
This is result not unexpected but very trou-
blesome. Ventilators have been placed along
the top and bottom of the glass walls, but still
the air within is hot and almost sitting
When night comes, the heated air within is
condensed upon the glass walls; and water
runs down in copious streams; SO that it has
been found necessary, even on these sultry
days, to build fires in some parts of the struc-
ture, in order TO dry the moisture. How often
the plans of scientific men are ruined by rea-
son of their ignorance or carlessness in regard
to very common phenomenon of nature
How the directors will now manage TO cool
their Palace is the great question. The pros
Pect is that the ice cream saloons and the
drinking saloons of all qualities, which line the
sixth Avenue, facing the Palace, will invite
the persplring curiosity seeker, as he puffs his
way out of the hot glass-house, with as profit
bic results as the Crystal spectators them
selves.
