A FATHER's PUNISHMENT OF A DAuaH-
terra well-known citizen of Boston
died recently, leaving property valued at
from $3.50, 600 to $500, 900, his dispo-
sition of which is thus narrated by the
Ledger, of that city:
"Some few years since, one of his
daughters saw fit to marry gentleman
of high moral character, although poor
in this worlds goods, belonging to the
marine corps of the United States. The
father opposed the marriage, and has
ever since refused to recognize his daugh-
ter or do anything for her. She has
lived in very humble way in Newport
with her family, consisting of her hus-
band and four children. Learning that
her father was very i'll at the fremont
House, and knowing that her mother and
only sister were abroad, she came to
Boston, and, through mutual friend,
solicited the privilege and pleasure Of
ministering to his comfort, and be with
him in his last moments, Her appeal
was repulsed with scorn, and she was
thus deprived of the opportunity of doing
what every right-ninded woman would
seek to do under similar circumstances
He died, and she, Notwithstanding all
that had taken place, attended his func-
raj, and saw his mortal remains deposited
in their last resting place.
1.-The will of the deceased has just
been opened, and it is found that he has
put his whole property in trust except
ing, we believe, one legacy of ten thou
sand dollars, providing for the payment
to his wife of $4,000 per annum, and {
single daughter (now with her mother,
and two sons IS, 900 each per annum
on the condition of forfeiture if either
of them ever gives one farthing to the
married daughter And to meet the re-
quiremcnts of law he gives to this mar
ried daughter the pttance of four hun
dred dollars per annum, to show bis re-
lentless hostility to Que of his own blood
who saw fit to bestow her affections upor
one she loved

The Secret of ElOancnCe.

l owe my success in life to one single fact
viz: thatat the age of twenty-seyen, | com.
menced and continued for years, the pro.
cess of daily reading and speaking upon
the contents of some historical and sci
enti6c book. These of-haDd efforts were
made sometimes in eofnheld, ut others
in the forest, and not unfrequently in
some distant barn, with the horse and OK
for my auditors. II is to this early prac.
tice in the great art Of all arts, that ]
am indebted for the primary and leading
impulses that stimulated me forward,
and shaped and moulded my entire sub.
sequcnt destiny.
Improve then, young gentlemen. the
superior advantages you here enjoy. -
Let not a day pass without exercising
your powers of speech. There is nc
power like that of oratory. Caesar con
trolled men by exciting their fears; CT
Zero, by captivating their affections and
swaying their passions. The influence
Of the one persisted with the author, that
of the other continues to this day. 49,

CHEAP ROOFS.

The simple mode Of roofing out houses
by mailing thin boards on rafters, may
be introduced to very great advantage,
particularly in the country. 1t is only
to subject the boards, before using. to
the action Of fire, by way Of thoroughly
seasoning them. Nail them ON immcdi-
ately and cover them with shcathing pa
per and dressing of tar; and cover
ing almost for life time may safely be
calculated upon. The rafters 3 inches
deep, J. thick, Strengthened on the edges
and closely nailed.
The following composition for cover
ing such a roof was employed at Wick
ham twenty years ago, and is at this pre-
sent time as good as when first laid. The
roof is nearly fat, having run Of one
inch only to the foot, the boards being
securely nailed and covered with a course
Of sheathing paper, such as is used under
the copper sheathing Of ships, made fast

sand dollars !" cried the coachmaker, in
great glee.
-Four thousand 2" cried John aghast.
eyes, jest look at it. You're a rich
man, sir, and by George, I'm glad of it,
you deserve to be-"
The carriage-maker shook his hand
heartily.
What do you suppose were the con-
sternation, delight, gratitude-the wild,
wild JOY that filled the heart of Clark,
when he found the old shay filed with
gold and bank bills? mean the cush-
ions, the Innings, and every place where
they could be placed without danger or
injury-thieves never would have con-
descended to the one-horse shay.
Five thousand five hundred dollars in
all. Poor John, or rather, rich John
his head was nearly turned. 1t rcquired
all the balance of Jeany's equipose of
character to keep his extatic brain from
spinning like humming top. Now he
could uild two houses like the one his
uncle had bequeathed to his headed
cousin, who had wished him Joy when
the will was read-the dear old uncle.
What genuine sorrow he felt as he
thought of the many times he had heap.
ed reproaches upon his memory.
Imagine, if you can, dear reader, the
peculiar feelings of those kind friends
who had prophesied that John Clark
would come to grief. At first Deacon
Joe proposed to take the old shay just
as it was-linings stripped, bits of cloth
hanging-and upon tin trumpet pro.
claim the good tidings to the whole town,
taking especial pains to stop before the
house of Mr.. Spriggs, and blowing loud
enough to drown all the pianos in the
universe; but that was vetoed by Johns
kind little wife.
La ! they'll know of it soon enough, ,
she said, kissing the boy; 81 wouldn't
hurt their feelings"
They aid know it, and few years
after, when John Clark lived in big
house they all voted for him to 90 to the
legislator" So much for the old one.

Tapping at the window,
Peeping DER the blind,
IT'S really most surprising
He never learns to mind;
Twas only yester evening,
As in the dark we sat,
My mother asked me sharply,
PRAY, Nina, who is that2"
Who's that, indeed you're certain
How much she made me start;
Men seem to lose their wisdom
When e'er they lose their heart.
Yes there he isl see him
The lamp his shadow throws
Across the curtained window
He's stepping on his toes
He'll never think of tapping
Or making any din,
A knock, though even the slightest,
Is worse than looking in;
Tap tapl would any think it?
He never learns to mind,
'Tis surely most surprising
lie thinks my mothers blind.
IT'S plain | must go to him,
It's Of no use to cough;
III ope the doo- just softly
If but to send him Off.
IT'S well if fiom the door step
He be not shortly hurled
Oh man there 'er was trouble
Till you came in the world
Tapping at the window
And peeping DER the blind;
Oh man but you're a trouble
And that we maidens find.
