CHEAP DWELLINGS.

Those who have plenty Of money can
purchase the brains of an architect to
tell how to construct house, if they
hare none of their own but those who
have but little money must plan their
own houses, perhaps build them. The
popular method OF constructing wood
houses, particularly cottages, has not
been by any means the most economical
that can be devised. From thirty to for
tY per cent. more lumber has been used
than is necessary, aud much labor expen.
ded that is wholly concealed when the
house is completed, and altogether un>
necessary. A small dwelling need not
be constructed as we would build ware
house or grain elevator. 1t is never
subjected to any test of its strength, and
wooden cottages never fall down so long
as they have a good foundation and chose
little repairs which all houses must have
to sta nd the ravages of time. No square
timber, and but few scantliugs are res
quired in small cottage. Mortises and
lemons are of no account-indeed they
are positive dotrimcnt, while braces are
equally useless.
The studdiug Of house may as we'll
be made Of ihch boards four inches wide
as of double that thickness. These studs
will hold the nails of the siding and lath
just as we'll as those two inches in thick
ness. Just so the floor joists may be of
inch stuff eight inches wide. Having
laid up the cellar walls of stone and lev,
eled them at the top, boards should be
laid on this wall to form sill. The
bents Of the frame may then be set up,
one after another, and stayed till the sid
ing can be put on. These bents may be
on the floor, joist, studs, cross joints for
the ceiling aud rafters, all nailed togeth
or firmly with cut nails while lying upon
the ground. Every piece of siding nail
cd to this frame tends 10 make it 6rmcr
and sitter, and so do the laths upon
which the mortar is to be spread. The
partitions made in like manner, we'll se>
cured, also tend to stfen the whole fab>
ric. it'll here aud there good sup
port in the cellar, such house when
completed, woul be just as desirable for
ali practical purposes as one OF the. same
size eontainiug nearly twice as much ma
terial, aud it would certainly be just as
warm. A cottage with five or six rooms
may be speedily constructed on this priu.
cipIe, at a much less cost than in the pop>
ular style OF building This is subs
stautial building compared with those
constructed on leased lands about Chica>
go, and they are deemed very comforta
Bile, and their strength aud safety are not
questioned. Some method must be de-
vised to cheaper the cost of dwellings,
and we know of none that commeuds it,
self SO we'll as this that We have SUCCESS

The Smiles That Hide Grief.

Some one said to DR.. johnson a hat it
seemed strange that he who so often de-
lighted his company by his lively con :
versation should say he was miserable
" Alas it rs all outside" replied tho
sage II may be cracking my joke and
cursing the sun sun, how | hate thy
beams !" Boswell appended foot-note
in which he remarked that beyond adoubt
a man appears gay in company who is sad
in heart. Ii is merimentis is like the sound
of drums and trumpets in battle to drown
the groans of the wounded and dying
1t is well known that Cowper was in
morbidly despondent state when he pen.
ned "John Gilpin," of which belectable
ballad and his cogeneIs he himself
bears record Strange as it may seem,
the most ludicrous lines ever wrote have
been when in the saddest mood, and but
for that sadest perhaps never would havo
beer written it ALL"
In the hight Of his i'll fortune, 1926,
Sir Walter Scott was ever giving vent,
in hs diary or elsewhere, to some whim-
sicial outburst of humorous sally; aud af-
ter indicating an extra gay jeud spra in
his journal just before leaving his dingy
Edinburg lodgings for Abbotsford, he
follows it up next day by this bit of self,
portraiture: Anybody would think from
tbe fal.de raj conclusion of my journal Of
yesterday that left town in a very good
humor. But nature has given me kind
of bouyancy-I know not what to call it
that minglcs with my deepest affections
aud most gloomy hours. | have secret
pride-I fancy it will be most traly
termed-which impels me to mix with
my distress strange suatches Of mirth
which have no mirth in them.

A POWERFUL FERTILIZER. Every
farmer has SCOT at command, whose
presence in stovespipe or chymneys
is not unfrequently the case of fires,
occasioning the loss sometimes Of
both propei ty and life. This agent
for evil is one of the most valuable
manures, and nothing but the most
culpable carelesness and indifference
will suffer it to remain a standing
menace to life and property, when it
can be easily removed and turned to
good account in the fields or garden.
Twelve quarts of SCOT in hogshead
of water will improve the growth of
flowers, garden vegetables or root
crops. In either a liquid or solid
state it makes an excellant top-dres-
sing for grass or sereal crops.

complicated. But concede that Ohlo
does not wish the colored population to
vote. 1t is a sorry fact 1t shows how
poorly Ohio understands the relation of
justice to COOL policy But it by no
means shows that Ohio would not vote
for suffrage ip Louisiana. The question
there is wholly different. In Ohio it is
a point of principle: in Louisiana, OF
policy. 1t is not necessary that colored
men should vote in Ohio to keep that
State steadily in the Union. But in
Louisiana it is essential If the Louisi-
ana should reproach the Ohio voter with
inconsistency. he would reply that he
was not inconsistent, for if Ohio were IN
the condition of Louisiana he would vote
accordingly
1t is not likely, therefore, that the
people will suddenly decide that the only
safe and permanent method OF reconstruc
ton is 20 paralyze the loyal element in
the late rebel States. and commit those
States wholly to the charge of men like
Mayor Monroe, Governor Perry, and the
malcon tents. The country is heavi y
taxed, as Mr.. Horato Seymour perpetu.
ally reminds it, and it therefore wishes
something to show tor its money, and that
something is reconstruction upon its own
sensible, conclusive method, and not
upon terms dictated by uurepentant reb-
els, assisted by Mr.. Horatio Seymour,
with his abolition of tho Senate, and MIR.

THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE.-Some
traveller to the Holy Land informs us that
there is Cor was) at the side Of the prin>
cipal gate cf Jerusalam, small one
which, upon occasions of great urgency,
was opened for the admission of persons
after the great gates were closed for the
night. This gat, from its small size,
was called the Eye of the Needle, and
to get Camel through it at all was no
small task-for a koadea camel to pass
was an utter impossibility.
With the above fact before the mind
one oan sec that the words of our Savior
when speaking of the straight gait" and
the erich man." We're more literally tha n
many suppose. And we see how as the
man passes into the narrow way, the side
and the low top ofthe straight gate scrape
every thing from him to which he had
before trusted. No one can take anything
but himself through. Far easier is it to
strip camel Of its burden than to divest
a rich man of his trust in riches

Mrs. Lincoln's brothers, as is known,
were in the Confederate army. The
youngest Of them started April, 1861,
from New Orleans as Il private in the
Chausseurs Pied and being discharged
for sickness ut Richmond, in October
of the same year returned to his home
but, though still suffering in health,
he left n wife and two babies to join the
Crescent Regiment in response to Beau

other, Captain David Todl, started with
Col Tom Taylor, of the First Kentucky
Volunteers, and was also killed towards
the end of the war. And third, DIR.

TALENT AND TAcT.-Talent is some.
thing, but tact is everything. Talent
is serious, sober, grave and respectable;
tact is all that, aud more too. 1t is not a
seventh sense, but it is the life of all
the five. 1t is the open eye, the quick
ear, the Judging taste, the keen smell
and the lively touch, it is the interpre-

Our Flowers may be blighted, our pic.
lures destroyed, our ornaments stolen;
but our beautiful thoughts are with us al
ways, under all circumstances of riches
and poverty, health aud sickness, success
or disappointment. They are more safe
ly and surely our own than any jewel we
can possess and what is better still, we
can bring them out and share them with
others without the least fear or grudge-
ing, because neither friend nor enemy
can rob us Of them.
