Hints for Winter.

A thin shawl may bemade warm
by folding a newspaper inside of it.
The paper is impervious to the
wind and cold air from beneath it.
Every body knows that the heat
of the body is carried off much more
rapidly in a high wind than in a
calm. The wind blows away the
heat enveloped from the body; but
in perfectly still air this heat re-
mains, and constitutes an atmos-
pheric envelope so nearly with the
same temperature with the body
itself, that the latter is not so
quickly robbed Of its natural heat.
When you set out on a winter
journey, if you are liable to suffer
from cold toes, which many people
do in spite of ''rubbers," fold a
piece Of newspaper over your stock
ing, which you can readily do, if
your boots or shoes are not IRA
tionally tight. This is better than
"rubbers," which are, in fact, very
cold comforters in extreme, while
they make the feet sweat in mod
crate weather. The main use of
India rubber over shoes is to keeT
out water, and for that they arc
second only to stout water proof
first-rate calf skin boot. There Is
not a more villainously unwhole
some article of wear made than the
topped rubber boot. 1t makes The
foot tender, especially in children
gives an ugly gait, and when lei
off in any weather, the wearer il
liable to ''catch cold Saint Girls
pin is the best friend of the human
foot. when his leather and stitehe
are honest.
In winter, a traveller occasionally
finds in a hotel deficiency of bee
covering: or in the sensitiveness of
disease he may require more thar
in health. The newspaper fol
which he paid two cents on thI
cars, spread under the upper GOV
er will be equal to an additional
blanket.
Apiece of silk oil-cloth stitched
in the folds of a shawl, Is more
flexible than the paper, and vii
last a whole winter. 1t has the ad
vantage of securing inward warmth
without the additional weight of {
thicker garment.

The Deacon aud the lrishman.

nv De"~V" SUI sno Al Aehsu~"
A few months ago, as Deacon
Ingall, of Swampscott, r. l., was
travelling through the Western
part of the State Of New York, he
fell in with an Irishman who had
lately arrived in this country, and
was in quest Of a brother who
came before him and settled in
some of the diggins in this vicinity.
Pat was a strong athletic man,
a true Catholic, and had never
seen the interior of a Protestant
church.
8 1t was a pleasant Sunday morn
ing that brother Ingallmet Pat, who
inquired the road to the-nearest
church.
Ingall was a good and pious
man.
He told Pat he was going to
church himself, and invited his
new made acquaintance to keep
him company thither, (his place OF
destination being a small Metho-
dist meeting house near by.)-
There was a great revival there at
that time, and one of the Deacons,
(who by the way, was very small
in stature, invited brother lngall
to take seat in his pew. lie ac-
cepted the invitation, and walked
in followed by Pat, who looked III
vain to find the altar After he
was seated, he turned to brother
Ingall, and in whisper which
could be heard all around, inquir.
ed: ''Sure, an isn't this here
tick?" "Hush,'' said Ingall, 'i1
you speak loud word they will
put you out"
"Divil a word will l spake, at
all, at all, replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the pastor. Pat was
cycling him very closely, when an
old gentleman, who was in the
pew directly in front Of Pat shout.
ed
"Glory."
"Hist we cTar devil" rejoined
Pat, with bis loud whisper, which
was plainly heard by the minister
"be dacent and don't make black
guard of yerself.'
The parson grew more and more
fervent in his devotion. Present
lly the deacon uttered an audible
groan.
"Hist, We blackguard, have ye
no dacency at all, at all?" saic
i Pat aft the same time giving the
Deacon punch in the ribs, which
caused him nearly to lose hls
equilibrium: The minister stopp
ed, and extending his hand in {
supplicating manner, said
Brethren, we cannot be dis
turbed in this way. VIII some
one put that man out?"
''Yis, your reverence" shouted
Pat, II WILL and suiting the ac
ton to the word, he collared thu
deacon, and to the utter horror ant
establishment of the pastor, broth
er Ingall, and the whole congre
cation, he dragged him through
the aisle. and with a tremendou
kick he landed him in the vest
bule of the church.

well and the senator from Burke. (Messrs.
Brown aud Avery,) upon the distracted
state fthe nation, upon tie union Or disanion
Of these United States. Fierce as was that
debate, it afforded Us buta faint idea Of the
fierceness aud fury with which the people will
debate the question Of Union or disunon
among themselves. The Senator from Burke
was never more mistaken than when he SAID
the people of North Carolina were now, to
day, ready for disunion. The people Of
North corolina are not ready for dsunon,
nor are they ready to be chained to the car
Of South Carolina and dragged out Of the
Union into discord and civil war. Senators
will find that the Union men Of North Caro-
lima will take a firm, fixed. immoyable stand
for the Union Of the States, and the constitu-
tional rights OF each Of the States, and nc
power can drive them from it, short OF the
bayonet aud sword.
The Speaker inquired il MIR. /. thought
his remarks relevant to the matter before
the Senate.
Mr.. I. As much so as debates you usual
hear and tolerate in the Senate but as his
remarks were distasteful TO the Speaker, he
would not persist in them, but take another
opportunity to give his views upon the state
OF the country.
