Htw to Finish rooms.

Bayard Taylor's opinion on this sub
ject is thus expressed in tho Lndspend-
emit
For the finish NC of the rooms there is
nothing equal to the native wood, simply
oiled to develop the beauty of the gain.
Even the cornmonsst pine, treated in this
way, has warmth and luster, bcside
which the dreary white paint, 50 common
even in the best Of houses, looks dull and
dead. Nothing gives house such cold,
uncomfortable air as white paint and white
plaster. This color is fit Only fof the trop.
les. Our cheap, common woods--pine,
ash, chestnut, oak, maple, beech, walnut
butterHut-offer us variety Of exquisite
tints and fibrous patterns, which, until
recently, have been wholly disregarded
in building. Even in furniture we are
just bcginni g to how much see more
ehaste and elegant are oak and walnut
than mahogany. The beauty ola room
is as dependent on til 4, harmony of its
colorings as that Of a picture. Some of
the ug'iest and most disagreeable apart
ments ever saw were just those which
contained the most expensive furniture
and decorations.
My experience shows that room fin
ished with the best seasoned oak or wal
nut, costs actually less than one finished
with pine, painted and grained in imita-
ton of those woods. Two verandahs Of
yellow pine, treated to two coats of boilcs
oil, have richness and beauty of color
beyond the reach Of pigments; and my
only regret connected with the houss
is, that | was persuaded by the represen-
tations of mechanics. to use any paint at
all.

brought in time TO save their distance
The purse was given to Hays.
ga general row ensued; but the fun of
the thing put the crowd NIL on the side
of the bull. The horsemen contended
that they were swindled out Of the purse;
and, if it had not been for Hays horn
and OK hide, which he ought not to have
been permitted TO bring upon the ground
the thing would have not turned out as
it did.
upon this Hays told them that his
bull could beat any Of their horses any
how,and if they would putspp enc hun /
red dollars against the purse he had won
he would take off the hide and leave
the tin horn, and run fair race with
them. H IS offer was accepted, and the
money staked. They again took their
places ut the starting post, and the sig
nal was given. Hays gave the bull ad-
other touch with his 'pur end the bull
gave tremendous below. The horses
remembering the dreadful sound, thought
all the rest was coming as before. Away
they went again in spite of all the
cxertions of their riders, while Hays gal
loped his bull around the track again
and won tho money"
