To MAKE Doors WATER MISUNDERSTANDING
the items of domestic economy we have
thought it seasonable to Gull from our scrap
book some hints on boots and shoes. In adj
dition to those given in last weeks paper
and the present one, VIC may here state thas
we have tried with rhuclr satisfaction a rc-
cipc which has long been practiccd by Robt.
Mercep'of this borough 1t is as follows:--
Put pint Of best sperm oil in stone bot
tie; cut into small shreds a piece of an old
india rubber shoe and add to the oil by drop
ping in small quantity at time until the
oil has-dissolvcd rs much as it will take up,
which may be known by the gum remaining
at the bottom. During this process keep the
bottle in warm place, al upon the Kitchen
mantcl and occasionally upon the stove when
not too hot.
After the oil is we'll saturated with gum
which it will be in few weeks, wash tho
boots clean and stand them in Il level trough
or tub ofwater SO as to cover them nearly up
to the crmring at the instep. When tho
roughly soakea, without handling them so
as to put them out of shape,) set them up to
drain, and when half dried, oil them well over
the surface, without rubbing in, and set them
aside till perfectly dry. Repeat the process
five or six times and they viii become per-
fcctly waterproof, yet soft and pliable. Tho
boots may be worn between the several APP
plications, but not until perfectly dry. Those
who desire good article for rough use, may
find it an advantage to get their boats ma,io
Of Fronoh kip skin and have them carefully
prepared as above before using them.
The only objection to this process is that
the pores of the leather being filed with gum
the boots have somewhat the same effect as
overs-shoes in heating the fcet.-He,t Chez
Ter Examiner.

THE CLAIMS OF REAsoN.-Nevcr, never do
violence to your rational nature. lie who
in any case admit doctrines which contradict
reason, has broken down the great barrier
between truth and falsehood, and lays open
his mind to every dclusion. The great mark
of error, which is Inconsistency, ceases to
shock him. lie has violated the first law of
the intellect, and must pay the fearful penal
ty. Happy will it be for him if, by the re-
nuncation Of reason, he be not prepared for
tho opposite extreme, and do not through
natural reaction, rush into the excess of liz
credulity. In the records Of individuals and
of the race, it is not uncommon for an era of
intellectual prostraion to be followed by an
era Of proud and liccntious philosophy; nor
will this alteration cease to form this history
of the human mind till the just rights Of rca-
son be notwithstanding.

A FIRE IN THE REAR.--Thc Washington
correspondent of the New York Courier and
Inquirer says
''The South has been startled by Mr.. Doug
lass recent defence Of the Nebraska bill at
Chicago. He endcavorcd to reconcile the
people Of Illinois, by assuring them that it
repealed the constructive recognition Of sla-
very south Of the line of 36 deg. 80 min. In
other words, Mr.. Douglas advocated the Ne
braska bill on Abolition grounds
Mr.. Douglas finds himself between two fires
and both are burning him. In a few days he
will have the Richmond Enquirer down on
him, and be consigned by that paper, as Gen
Cass has already been, to the ''limbo Of lost
politicians.'

OrThe trump of fame cannot burst the
turf of the tomb, and even could it, doubtless
it would seem mockery to the inhabitants
of the silent land. To die and be forgotten
is the common lot from which none may hope
to escape. The popular voice Of to-day is
worth but little, but to begin life that never
ends, in spirit communion with those who
deem that the most glorious aspiration to live
forever is an ambition that has the smiling
appreciation of God and his angels. To feel
the long eternity that we are beginning, with
us in spirit-that we may all pass through
the same eternal gates, drink from the same
fountain of life and love, and rest in the same
sunlight of Gods glory, is a pleasant thing
indeed.

hang so heavily upon the skirts of society.
If applied throughout our country, we may
behold, in anticipation, the bright visions of
future greatness and glory, which kindlcd
the minds of the fathers of our Republic, be-
coming bencticcnt relief. If applied any
where throughout the family of man, it will
set in motion train of thoughts and impuls-
cs, that will dignity the human race and
cause generations yet unborn, to rise up and
call us blessed

DAYS WITHOUT NlGHTs.-Dr. Baird in Il
lecture delivered, recently, in Cincinnati said
There is nothing that strikes stranger
more forcibly, if he visits Sweden at the sea-
son of the year when the days are the long
est, than the absence of the night. lie arri-
we'd at Stockholm from Gottenburg, 400 miles
distant, in the morning and in the afternoon
went to see some fricnds-had not taken note
of time-and returned about midnight; 1t

all was quiet in the street; it seemed as if the
inhabitants were gone away, or were dead
No signs of lifc-stores closed.
The sun goes down at Stockholm a little

rays is such that you see TO read at midnight
DR.. Baird read letter in the forest near
Stockholm at midnight, without artificial
light. There is mountain at the Bothnia

A steamboat goes up from Stockholm for the
purpose of carrying those who are curious to

Birds and animals take their accustomed

there until the sun is we'll up in tho morning,
and the people get into the habit of rising

GA writer in the London Economist
sums up very able article on Napoleon III =,
as follows:
The same man who landed at Boulogne in
1910 with single steamer and few friends
on desperate anil abortivo expedition, re-
visits it in 1854 to review vast army and
receive the homage of countless spectators.
The same man who six years ago lived in OBJ
security in London, scarcely able to pay his
tailor's, and quite unable to pay his horse
dealers bill-whom many looked upon as
stupid, and whom none looked upon as wise
of whom few augured well, and whom few
would trust much-we have just seen receiv-
ing the visits and compliments of the consort
of our Queen, entertaining three royal guests
at his table-one of them the on-in-law of
the very monarch whom he had succeeded -
and admitted beyond all denial into the So
cial circle Ct royal pcrsonages. Nor is this
change in his singular fortunes the only one,
nor perhaps the greatest. We can imagine
him smiling with even more grim satisfac-
ton as he contrasts the language of the En-
glish press regarding him i'll 1852 and now
sitting with the Times or the Examiner of
December 1851 or of August 1854 before him
and marvclling at the metamorphosis
unmcasured abuse which was showcrcd upon
him at the former date, and the decorous re-
spect and cordial praise with which he is
spoken of now. The "sccdy swell, " and the
"sanguinary and audacious rufiian'' is now
the polite and sagacious Emperor. and takes
wine tcte.a-tete with Prince Albert and King
Leopold.

TIED Down AT HoME.-A friend of ours,
living not far from Pontiac, was one pleasant
day importuned by his wife to take her to
ride. The gentleman, being a man Of bust
ness, pleaded his engagements, when his
wife replied with the old story, that she must
be stied down at home.' The husband re-
Joined that if any person would furnish him
with clothing to wear, and enough to drink,
he would be willing to be 'tied down at home.
few days after, the gentleman came
home earlier than was his custom, and being
fatigued, lay down on the sofa and fell into a
sound sleep. His wife took cords, and silly
ticd!hs hands together, served his feet lin
the same way, and made him fast to the sofa.
She then set table, with all that the house
afforded, and placed an extra suit of clothes
within his reach. This done she started to
pay friend a visit. Upon her return, late
in the evening, she found her subject Of do
nestle discipline as she left him, except he
was WIDE awake, and very mad.
"What on earth does all this mean7" says
he.
ssNothing," quietly remarked his wife, eek
cept the consummation of your earthly wish
es-enough to eat, drink and wear, and to be
tied do,cn at home!''
That couple were seen riding out the next
day.

REPORTING UNDER DIFFICULTIEs.-ssA re-
porter of an evening journal of this city,"
says the Boston Traveller, cleaning that the
Know N othing Convention was to be held in

himself in the baptismal tank to take secret
notes of the secret proceedings. An "cxam-
lining committee" ascertaining this fact, let

per more complete introduction to aqua

the same convention, another curious indi-

was .slet on'' to give this latter gentleman a

DISEASE AMONG THE CHESAPEAKE BAY
OYsTERs.-A Baltimore correspondent of the
National Intclligenccr writes that it is sim
gular fact, and one important to be generally
known. that the oysters of our waters thus
far this season, have proved markedly dele
tcrious to health. Persons have been taken
violently ill, after eating them (raw especial
ly) with cramp, collie, cholera-morbus, &C.,
and some cases death has cnsued. Crabs,
too, have produced similar results. An old
and experienced fisherman states that in his
judgment, oysters and crabs, this season, arc
impure, unhealthy possessed of some poison
Gus substance, and unsafe to be eaten.

nTIt is asked, says Claiming, how can
the laboring man find time for sef-culture ?
answered that an earnest purpose finds time
or makes time. 1t siezes on spare moments.
and turns fragments to golden account. A
man who follows his calling with industry.
and spirit, and uses his earnings economical
ly, will always have some portion of the day
at command. 1t has often been observed
that hose who have the most time at their
disposal profit by it the least.

CoSCEIr.-Conceit is the most contempti-
bic and one Of the most odious qualities in
the world. 1t is vanity driven from all other
shifts, and forced to appeal to itself for ad-
miration. Conceit may be deemed a restless,
overweening, petty, obtrusive delight in our
qualification, without any reference to their
real value, or to the appreciation of others,
merely because they are ours, and for no
other reason whatever. 1t is the extreme OF
sclishness and folly.-Ha:lM.

Henry Clay's Homo and Grave.

Wemale promise some days ago to give
an account of our visit to Ashland. We were
not prepared to find the dwelling totally de-
molshcd, but all that remained oft was part
of brick WALL which had once served to d.
vide the parlor from the library, and upon
this some half dozen men were at work with
crow. bar and pick-axe, lcvcling it to the
ground. All therefore that remains of the
old homestead Of the Statesman, is pile of
bricks and rubbish. We arc told that the
present proprietor Of the estate-a son of
Henry Clay-is about to erect on the site of
the old dwelling, new edifice ef its exact
form and character. This will make some
amends for the work of demolition lie has
completed, but it will hardly pardon it. The
old house might have been repaired; it should
not have been destroyed. 1t was one Of those
consecratcd spots, those shrines of liberty, to
which the pilgrim would oft retire to revive
hope, and strengthen his love of country.
Aside from the interest fixed to the spot
because of him who, for so many years found
therein his home, there is nothing remarkable
about Ashland. The estate partakes of the
general character of the land in the ncighbor-
hood of Lexington, being rich and fruitful.
There arc many fine trees in the immediate
locality where the dwelling stood, and we
can scarcely imagine more proper rural
home, than Ashland once was, for such
man as Henry Clay. But its glory has de-
parted; Henry Clay's home is raizcd to the
earth. 1t was with a mortified and disap-
pointed spirit that we LIFT Ashland, and di.
rcctcd our way toward the cemetery, which
is on the other side of Lexington from Ash
land, but near the closely inhabited part Of
the city. 1t is an exceedingly well selected
spot, and contains many handsome monu-
ments. Our chief desire, however, was to
see the grave Of the Great Commoncr." We
soon found it. 1t is marked by no stone or
monument. The place Of sepulturc, howcv-
cr is well selected. Henry Clay lies just
where he ought TON the heart Of kentucky.
The spot is beautiful and quiet, and "hc
sleeps we'll" His grave is hoap,d up in the
usual form, and covered with the green sward.
1t is contemplated to build his monument on
the spot where he now rests.

MARRIAGE.-We celebrate the wedding,
and make merry over the honeymoon. The
poet paints the beauties and bushes of the
blooming bride; and the bark of matrimony
with its freight of INFESTED love, is launched
on the uncertain ocean of experiment, amid
kind wishes and rejoicings. But on that
precarious sea are many storms, and even the
calm has its perils; and only when the bark
has wcathered these, and landed its cargo in
the haven of domestic peace, can we pro-
nounce the voyage prosperous, and congrat-
ulate the adventurer on his merited and en-
yiable reward.
