useful to the country. Mr.. Crittcnden Is

tered the Senate as early as lsl7-forty
two years ago--although he then served but
two years 1t is singular fact that Mr..
Crittenden has never been member Of the

ferent terms in the Senate, Mr.. Crittenden
served the public as Governor Of Kentucky,
and Attorney General under President liar

always faithful to his post. and animated by
enlarged and patriotic ideas. His eloquenoe
in debate will long be remembered. With
his retirement in 1861, will disappear the

MANAGING WINDOWS FOR ArR.-Thcre is
always a draught through key-holes and
window crevices, because, as the external air
is colder than the air i'll the room We occupy,
it rushes through the window crevices to sup
ply the deficiency caused by the escape Of
YARN air up the chimney. If you open the
lower sash Of window, there is always
more lraught than if you open the upper
sash. The reason of this is because, it the
lower sash be open, cold air will rush into
the room aud cause a great draught inward;
but if the upper sash be open, the heated air
of the room will rush out, and of course there
will be less draught inward. A room is best
ventilated by opening the upper sash, because
the hot vitiated air which always ascends
towards the ceiling, can escape more easily
The wind dries damp linen because dry wind.
like sponge, ilnbibes the particles OF vapor
from the surface of the linen as fast az they
are formed. The hottest place in church
or chapel is the gallery, because the heated
mir Of the building ascends, and all the cold
air which can enter through the doors and
windows, keeps on the floor till It becomes
heated Special attention should be given
70 the ventilation Of sleeping rooms; for pure
air, and abundance of it. is, if possible, more
necessary when we are asleep than when we
are awake. Sleeping rooms should be large,
high and airy, more especially IN warm lati-
tades, and in situations where the windows
