WASHING WINDOWS "A correspond
ent ofthe American Agrculturalist Civ q
the following improved mode of washing
windows, which, although not wholly
new to US, may be valuable to many Of
our readers:
81 have a great aversion to securing
knives, and never touch brick-dust if L
can help it; but if their brightness de-
pends upon me | prefer to rub them
three times day rather than once, for
1t Is less labor, and they last longer.
"The incest article for washing vim
dows is deer skin, as no particles come
OF to adhere to the glass and make il
look as if washed with feathers. There
is no need of any thing larger than
hand basin for washing windows. The
great splaaSShlling as lis some .ge9glle. make ip the
~-I is, moreover, deleterious. When the
water is permitted to run down in great
quantities upon the glass it dissolves the
putty and soon loosens the panes from
their setting and alse stains the glass.
Two pieces of nice wipe leather and q
bowl of Suds are all that is necessary.
Wipe the glass first with wet cloth
or leather, and after it has become dry
with the clean cloth, and il will look far
more clear than if rinsed in dozen pales
Of water"

4 MISSION SaRMoE.-The following
occurrence took place at the Old South
hurch on sunday last. The venerable
DR. Lyman Beecher was supplying the
pulpit, and in the afternoon placed his
manuscript sermon in the Bible and
turned over the leaves to another part of
the book to read his text. In the mean
time he had forgot where he had placed
his sermon, and when he wished to be-
gin its delivery, it was so nicely placed
between the leaves that he did not dis
cover it. lie looked under the Bible and
around the desk, and even peeped over
the front Of the pulpit to see if il had not
perhaps fallen over, but all in vain, and
the Doctor began to exhibit evident signs
of anxiety. Amsn seated in the gallery,
and who saw clearly the cause of his en-
barrasSment, applied an effectual remedy
by rising and saying, "Dr. Beecher-itis
in the Bible" The DIR. renewed his
search, and in a moment was ready for
the delivery ofhiS sermon.-Boston Trdu-
