| SECRET OF SLEEPING W ELL
There IS q fund Of wisdom in the
following well-told story, by which
adults may profit quite as well al
children.
| Squire Jenkinson could get ne
rest. He had a noble mansion
line pleasure grounds, and q beau
t ful carriage drawn by beautiful
horses. His table was supplied
with every luxury, and bis friends
were the most cheerful companions
in the world; but still Squire Jen-
k'nson could get no rest. Some
times he went to bed early, and
sometimes he went to bed late; but
whether late or early it was Just the
same ''There is no peace for the
wicked" and there was no rest for
Squire Jenkinson: He applied to
his friends, who told him to take
exercise, and to take an extra glass
of greg before he went to bed. He
applied to the doctor, and he gave
laodanum and opium; no sound
rest could he obtain. At last he
consulted Thomas Perrins, bis gard:
ner. Now thomas Perrins was at
humble Christian, ard well knew
that his master feared not God :;
that he was unjust, cruel, and op-
pressed the widow and the father
less, and that his conscience troub-
led him so Thomas told him that
old Gilbert Powell; who lived hard
by on the waste land, always slept
tamously, but that perhaps he wore
a different kind OF a night cap.
Mistakiny the meaning Of Thomas
Perrins, away wentSquire Jenkin-
son wftH one Of his best uigIlt-caps
il his pocket, to exchange it for that
Of old Gilbert Powell, which he had
washed and we'll aired and when
night came he went to bed IN good
spirits, hoping to have con1f0rta
ole nights sleep; but mol though he
put it on in all shapes, aid placed
hllnselfin all postures, Squire Jenk-
lnson could get no rest. AS soon
as the snn rose, he fastened to the
cottage on the waste land, to know
how Gilbert Powell had rested /
when Gilbert told him that he
thought he had never had a better
nights rest in all his life, and was
quite delighted with bis new night
cap. Perplexed and cast down,
Squire Jenkinson then went once
more to his gardner, to tell him OF

| A Valuable REcEipr.-Farst-

has tried various preparations for
white-washing ceilings, q: d the
walls Of unprepared rooms, but has
never found anything that was en-
tirely satisfactory until the present

that affords a beautiful, clear, white
color, which cannot be rubbed off,
and which he prepares in this
wise:

dollars worth Of first quality Paris

usually called Cooper's glue, be

work, half pound ofglue was put
in a tin vessel, and covered with
cold water over night. In the morn
ing this was carefully heated until
dissolved, when it was added to rs

stirred in a moderate quantity Of
hot water: Enough water was then
added to give the whole proper
milky consistency, when It was ap-
piled with a brush in. the ordinary
manner. Our 80 lbs. Of Paris W hito

least four times as much. We are
satisfied, by repeated trials; that no
whitewash can be made to adhere
