PRESERVING SHINGLES,

Some paint roof-shingles after they
are laid This makes them rot sooner
than they otherwise would. Some
paint the courses as they are laid !;
this is a great preservative, if each
shingle is painted the length of three
courses. But about as sure way to
preserve shingles, and that with little
Or no expense, is mode recommended
in letter to us by Hon. David Hunter
of Clinton, on the 23d of Feb. last. We
re-publish so much of his letter as re-
lates to this subject, in hopes that it
may interest many Of our readers:
"There is one thing that nearly all
people know, if they would only attend
to it; that is to sprinkle Stacked lime
on the roofs Of their buildings in rainy
days. Put it on considerably thick, so
as to make the roof look white, and
you never will be troubled with moss,
and if the shingles are covered ever so
thick with moss, by putting the lime
ON twice, it will take all the moss of
and leave the roof white and clean,
and will look almost as well as if they
had been painted. 1t ought to be done
once year. and, in my opinion, the
shingles will last almost twice as long
as they will to let the roof all grow
over with moss. l tried it on the back
side of my house, ten years ago, when
the shingles were9lll covered over with

SCIENCE.

1t is sometimes proudly asked, who
shall set bounds to Science, or to the
widening circle Of her horizon !? But
why should we try to do so, when it is
enough to observe that that horizon,
however it may be enlarged, is a
horizon still--a circle beyond which,
however wide it be, there shine, like
fixed stars without parallax, eternal
problems in which the march of science
never shows any change Of place. If
there be one fact by which science re-
minds us more perpetually than an
other, it is that we have faculties i'm
'pelling us to ask questions which we
have no powers enabling us to answer.
What better lesson of humility than
this--what better indication of the
reasonableness of looking to state
in which this discrepancy shall be
done away--when we shall know,
even as we are known =
St. Charles Republican intelligencer. (St. Charles [Charles City], Iowa) 1856-1857, 1856-12-04

moss, and they appeared to be nearly
rotten. / gave the roof heavy coat
of lime, and have followed it nearly
every year since, and the roof is better
now than it was then, and to all APP
pearance, if follow my hand it last ten
Or fifteen years longer. The shingles
have been on the roof over thirty
years. There is no more risk about
sparks catching on the roof than on a
newly shingled roof. Those that do
not have lime near by, can use strong
wood ashes, and these will answer
very good purpose to the same end"
The action of the lime is to cleanse
the surface of all impediment to the
free and rapid passage of the rain-wa-
ter off: This enables the shingles to
dry very soon, and consequently pre-
vents rotting. Moss covered roofs
will rot very rapidly.-Drew's Rural.

The Indian Hunter.

Oh, why does the white man follow my path,
Like the hound on the tiger track wrath
Does the flush on my dark cheek waken his
Does he coyct the bow on my back! [breeze
He has rivers and seas, where the pillows and
Bear riches for him alone; flood
And the sons Of the wood never plunge in the

Why then should he come to the streams where
But the red-skin dare to swim lnons
Why, why should he wrong the hunter, one
Who never did harm to him!
The Father above thought fit to give,
The white-men corn and wine
There are golden fields where they may live,
But the forest shades are mine. esf
The eagle hath it's place of rest,
!, The wild horse where to dwell; s,f
And the Spirit that gave the bird its nest,
Made me home as we'll.
Then back, SO back from the red-man's track
For the hunters eyes grow dim
To find that the white-man wrengs the one
Who never did harm to him. +
