Men Always Fit for Freedom.

There is only one cure for the evils which
newly acquired freedom produces, and that
is freedom! When a prisoner leaves his
cell, he cannot bear the light of day /; he is
unable to discriminate colors, to recognize
faces ; but the remedy is not to remand him
to his dungeon, but to aecustom him to the
rays of the sun. The blaze of truth and
liberty may at first dazzle and bewilder ma
tions which have become half blind in the
house of bondage; but let them gaze on, and
they will soon be able to bear it. In few
years men will learn to reason the extreme
violence of opinion subsidies; hostile theo-
ries correct each other; the scattered eie-
ments of truth cease to conflict, and begin
to coalesce; and at length, a system oi
Justice and order is educed out of chaos
Many politicians of our time are in the
habit of laying it down as self evident
proposition that no people ought to be free
tin they are fit to use their freedom. The
maxim is worthy of the fool in the old sto,
ry, who resolved not to go into the water
till he had learnt to swim! If men are to
wait for liberty until they become wise and
good in slavery. they may, indeed, wait for
ever IT. B. MacauLey

To Make Paper Impervious to Water.

TO Make Paper Impervious to Water.
This preparation for waterproofng pa
per intended for packages exposed to the
weather is recommended by Prof. Mus
champ of Wurtemburg. Take 24oz. of al
um and 4oz. of white soap and dissolve
them In 2ibs. of water. Into another yes-
sci dissolve 2oz. of gum arabic and Coz. ol
glue IN the same quantity of water, and add
the two solutions together, which is to be
kept warm, and the paper intended to be
made waterproof dipped into. it, passed be-
tween rollers, and dried; or without the
use of rollers. the paper may be suspended
until it is perfectly dripped, and then dried.
The alum, soap, glue and gum form kind
of artificial leather, which protects the sur
face of the paper from the action of water,
and also renders It somewhat fireproof.

PooR SoIL.-An inquisitive Yankee
was standing al a tavern door in the low
er part of Jersey, watching a funeral
pass by. AT the head OF it was a large
cart. moving along very slowly.
and making no effort to turn out of the
way for tie procession. The Yankee
was astonished at this want of attention
on the part of the driver of said cart, and
turning 10 a Philadelphisn, who was
standing by, he remarked:
Il guess the folks amt very perlite

alters turn eout for a funeral"
"'Oh, that's psrt of The procession"
remarked the Pbiladelphian g~ravely."
: "Du telIl Yeou don't say sol Heow?''
exclaimed the astonished Yankee.
"Why. you see. it's a very poor sandy
soil about here, and nothing comes up
they plant, unless they manure it well;
so when they bury a fellow. they throw
a whole cart load in the grave to make
him rise at judgment dOy.!"
