PRESERVING SHINGLES ON RooFs. -
Some paint roof shingles after they are
laid. This makes them rot sooner than
they otherwise would. Others paint the
courses as they are laid; this is great
preservatiye, if each single 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 February last. We publish so much
Of his letter as relates to this subject, in
hopes that it may be of service to many
Of our readers.
"There is one thing more that nearly
all people know, if they would 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 roofs look white, and you will
never be troubled with moss, and if the
shingles are covered ever SO thick with
moss, by putting the lime on twice, it
will take it all off, and leave it white and
clean, and will look almost as we'll as if
it had been painted. 1t ought to be
done once year, and, in my opinion,
the shingles viii last almost twice as
Tong as they will to let the roof grow all
over moss. tried it on the back side
of my house ten years ago, when the
shingles were all covered over with moss,
and they appeared to be nearly rotten.
I gave the roof a heavy coating of lime,
and have followed it nearly every year
since, and the roof is better now than it
was then, and to all appearance, if |
follow my hand, it will 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 newly shinglod roof.
Those who Go not have lime near by, can
use good strong wood ashes and these
will answer a very good purpose to the
same end.
The action of the lime is to cleanse
the surface of all impediments to The
free and rapid passage of the rain water
off. This enables the shingles to dry
very soon, and consequently prevents
rotting. Moss-covered roofs will ro
very rapidly.-Rwal LteUigeacer.

+. =. p. P.-PRINTING Presses, PUL-
PITS AND PETTICoATs. These are the
three great levers that govern the world
Without them the bottom would fall out,
and society would become chaos again
The press makes people patriotic, the pull
pit religious, but women sway all things.
There would be no going to church if
there were no girls there, neither would
there be any going to war were the soldiers
to meet with no applause but from the
masculines. Without the sunshine shed
by women, the rose of affection would
never grow, nor the flowers of cloquence
terminate. In short, she is the engine
of life, the great motive power of love,
valor, and civilization. In proof of this,
truth in all history speaks trumpet
tongued.

A SIMPLE RULE.-To ascertain the
length of tue day and night, at any time

rising, which gives the length of the
night, and double the time of setting,
which gives the length of the day. This
is little method of doing the thing
which few of our readers have been
aware Of.
