The Color of Houses.

In all New England villages the house of
the squire or the rich man of the place was
easily distinguishable by its lilacs in the yard
and perhaps large tree in front of ALL bnt
particularly by its green blinds and white
paint, which stood for the ideal locality of the
otium Gun. dignitate. How white came to be
chosen as the aristocratic paint is a subject for
psychologists. The severity of the original
New England character would have been rep
resented by black. Perhaps white was chosen
because it is the direct opposite to the natural
tint OF wood, or is the iarthest removed from
the peculiar brown which the sun and rain
put on pei haps it was because white suggests
an unspotted purity, and possibly sometimes
because it may be taken as limiting unap-
proachableness. White being once adopted,
green binds followed as matter of course,
and although many men cherish in tender re-
membrance the appearance OF the white
house with green blinds in which they passed
their boyh0od, their maturer sight compels
them 10 consider the old custom born OF the
crudesG taste. 1t was, in reality, artistically
an abomination, besides an expensive one
When dingy the white and the green would
each have been pronounced hideous had the
other been absent; and when fresh, the effect
was an unpleasant glare in the sunlight and
a certain CHASTITY suggestiveness at night
Moreover, sucha house haImonized with no.
thing, but was at war with everything, seem
ing TO have been crowded into its place
whereas an implanted house, though not
desirable on the whole, gradually brown
ed into the color of rock,
and into harmony with other things. Nature
seemed almost to shun the glaring white
house, and such thing as an Ivy clambering
over its sides would never have been seen ev-
en- If the occupants had permitted such wild
liberties to be taken with them. Surprising the
household to be of the neat and more practica
order, the pleasantest side OF the house was
commonly the back side, where, in the absence
OF bright paint, and severe exclusion-olten the
paint was common red-vines were bold and
loving enough to come and cling
The past tense has been used thus far be-
cause the custom thus described is rather past
than present, although it is not yet extinct
To some extent, however, and about as fast
as the style OF house building recedes from
the primitive four walls and a roof, and ac-
knOwiedges the notion of beauty as well as OF
shelter, the sensible rule gains in practice
Turn over the first stone you see On your land
and make your house the color OF that. The
first rule in the construction of a house is that
it should be in harmony with surrounding
natural objects, which it can never be except
by employing subdued tints. If built Of brick
or stone, the best way would be to adopt the
rule above named; it of wood, the healthiest
and sweetest result would follow the employ
ment OF Just the natural tint of the wood it.

A Partnership.-Twe s,orie..

A writer in the Piscataquis Observer is s're-
minded OF story by seeing an advertise
ment in that paper headed-@wanted part
ner in the meat business"
You have heard of Dan Smith,--yery like
ly you may have seen him. Dan was about
my age-a g0Od-hearted, clever fellow, but he
would have his sprees, and was commonly out
OF funds. On one occasion he had been spree
ing iJ about week, or so in Portland; his
money was all gone; it was Saturday after
noon and he wanted to go home. As he was
casting about for the means to get home, he
saw placard on shop which was headed
"a Partner Wanted in the Meat Business
Dan entered the shop and politely saluting
the proprietor, began making inquiries about
the probable profits of a half interest in the
concern. He appeared satisfied with the an
swers which he received and informed the
proprietor that he would accept the position
and pay over the required amount of money
as sooh as he could go home and back. The
proprietor, anxious to close the trade offered
to hire team and 60 home with him that
night and come back on Sunday To this
Dan assented, and the two who were not an
hour since total strangers to each other
were soon on their way to Dams home among
the mountains. As the night was cold Dan
found it necessary to call at every tavern and
"wet his WHISTLE" which he did every time at
the expense of his new found partner. As
Dan knew everybody on the road and was
always very polite young man, he made it a
point to introduce his friend in this wise.
This Is Mr.. Soand-so, my partner in the
righteousness" As they approached Shaker
settlement which was within two miles of
Dams home, he proposed to his partner to
call and partake of some most excellent cider
which he knew the Shakers kept ON hand
