PAINTING HOrSES.-RepcatCd e,-
pc imentS prove that piaint applied be
tween November and March will last
twice as long as lhat applied in warm
weather. The reason is that in cold
weather the component parts of the
paint form hard substance on the sur-
face, as hard rlmost as glass, but IN
warm weather the oil penctrates the
boards, and the paint wears off.

Beautiful Extract.

The follo8ing waif, afloat on the
. sea OF reading" which we clip from
an exchange. We do not know its
paternity, but contains some whole
some truths beautifully set forth:
"Men seldom think OF the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own path, hiding forever
from their eyes the traces of the
loved ones whose living smiles were
the sunlight of their existence.
Death IS the great antagonist of life,
and the cold thought Of the tomb is
the skeleton of all fpasts. We do
not want to 90 through the dark val
ly although its passages may lead to
paradise, and, with Charles Lamb,
we do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, even with kings and
princes for our bed trllr-rs.
But the fact ofnatpie is ineXorable.
There is no appeal of relief from the
great law which dooms us to dust.
We flourish andwe fade as the leaves
of the trrest, and the flower that
blooms and withers i'll a day has not
frailrr hold upon life than the
mightlest monarch that ever shook
the earth with his footsteps. Gen
erations of men appear and vanish
as the grass and the countless multi
tHde that throngs the world to-day,
will tomorrow disappear as the foot
steps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama Of Ion, the
instinct o immortality, 50 eloquent
ly uttered by the death devoted
Greek, finds a deep response i'll
every thoughtful soul. When about
to yield his young existence as Il sac
rifcc to fate, his beloved Clcmanthe
asks il they shall not meet again. to
which he replies: L have asked
that dreadful question Of the hills
that look et"rna!--of the clear streams
that flow torever-oft the stars among
whose fields III azure my raised
spirit hath walked in glory. All
were dumb. But while | gaze upon
; the living face, feel that there Is,
something in the love thai 4ahties
through is heantN that cannot
wholly perish WeSlall meet again.
