ShIngling a House.

James II was young man who COM
menced lie with every fauering prospect,
and wife and lovely children soon blessed
HIM. Unhappily by slow degrees be became
10 make long matter shon-a drunkard.
One evening he left his wife ia tears, as was
loo common, repaired 10 the house of man
who sold him The deadly poison, and drank
so much that he sank down in a kind OF
stup1faotion oaeily niesakeC for sleep. All
his companions had deserted him. Near
midnight the landlords wife came into the
bar room ard told him:
81 wish that man would go home, il he s
got one TO 90 TO-"
''Hush! hush !'says the landlord, che will
call for something else directly"
81 wish he would make haste about it,
then, for i, is time every honest person was
in bed," said his wife.
"He S taking tho shingles off his house and
putting them on ours" SAID the landlord.
AT this time James began to come TO his
senses, and commenced rubbing his eyes,
and stretched himself, as if he had Just
awoke, saying, 81 believe I'll CO."
"Don't be in hurry, James," said the
landlord.
30, yes, I must CO." says James, $50 good
night !" and off he started.
After an absence of some time, the land
lord one day met and accosted him.
"Halloo, Jim, why haven't you been 10
see us!
"Why," says James, al had taken shin
giles enough of my house, and it began to
leak, SO | thought it was time to s,op the
leak, and I've done ii!
The tavern keeper aslonished, went home
10 tell his wife about ii, and James has
since let rum alone, and attended 10 his own
business. He is now happy man, and his
wife and children are happier than ever.

of a few short bri.les set wide apart, much

those who attach mcst importance 10 exter.

extremely solc,ons to improve and preserve
the form and symmetry of these imponan,
appendages TO The organs of sight.
We need nc, dwell upon The importance
10 beauty of long, siIken, glossy eye ashes,
which have so often been The theme OF low.

enthusiasm Of an eastern lover added The
deep feeling OF Of poet, has hung some OF
the finest gems on beautiful eye lash, He
says:
As a stream late conce sled

In the light of its blows

From the black cloud that bound il,

growth and beauty OF the eye.lashes, in Cir

We mention this, no, as reproach TO the

|, is well known tha, the hair, when lst

at the top into two or more forks, or gradu.
ally raperng from the root, terminates in a
very fine, almost invisible point. When ihi.
is the case, its further growth is comple,e!y
arrested. The Circassian female, aware ot
this fact, carefully removes the FIRE poin

scissors. Every time this is done their growth
is renewed, and they become, close, tiuely
curved, aod OF SILKY gloss. This operation
OF tipping is rePeatel every nocth or SIX
