Mr. Craig created much amusement by his funny
limitations, and the other artists acted with spirit.
This affair was compliment OF the highest order

WIDESPREAD USEFULNESS.-The relief OF the
wants OF the deserving poor, and especially OF
widows and orphans, whose natural provider has
been lost to them, is subject which has been forced
upon the attention Of communities and individuals
through all history, and many plans OF systematic
relief have been discussed Great good has been
done by the aid thus given to those unable to help
themselves; but, after ALL charity is not the best
way in which such help can be secured. To accept
of aims involves, in some degree, loss OF self
respect and independence What Is wanted is some
system by which, at small gradual cost, every
labOrinR man may OF leaving to his family,
when death takes him away, sum SUFFICIENT to keep
the wolf from the door. Such plan is offered to
the public in the advertisement OF the National Life
Insurance Company in another column. The general
features OF the management OF this company are
there noted, and the local agents will cheerfully
give any further information as TO the peculiar
advantages offered. The ''National Life" was char

business in August last, having then TO establish

Paint and Natural Wood.

There is beauty in American native
woods when manufactured into articles OF
utility and ornament, as we'll as the Inside
woodwork of our houses, that We wish was
more generally applied. During the past
few years there has been some little appli-
cation made Of few of our native woods,
and now we can see limited amount of
furniture made from the oak, map chest
nut, and walnut; and any one Of unper-
vertcd taste, and who is unprejudiced, can
see as much beauty in these as in the for
ciyn woods that are imported at so much
expense. OF aromatic wood We have the
red cedar; and room that is ceilcd up
with few boards Of this wood will be more
fragrant than the perfumes of a Persian
rose garden. Red ccdcr has another vir-
tue, too: no insects nor moths will live in
reach of its aroma. Our ancestors used
to value it for the manufacture of chests
and repositories of their linen garments.
In the past there has been passion to
cover up any natural beauty of wood with
successive coats of paint; and the eye of
certain class of our people could see no
beauty in wood not thus artiticially pro-
duced. Their parlors and sitting-rooms
gistened in all the sterile color of a
dreary white. Ceilings, walls, doors. sash,
and everything were thus painted. When
you entered such room the eye was
panied with the samencss of color, aud
that color one that dame Nature, with all
her lavish painting, has been the most
sparing Of Nature gives us a contrast of
colors to relieve the eye; and white in her
blending has been as little used as any.
Finish up room with the most COM
mon of our woods, bring out the colors and
the layers of the wood by successive coats
of varnish, and it will present beauty
that all will admirc-a beauty that but
few of the imported woods can equal.
The color does not pain the eye; but, on
the contrary, the soft warm tints and the
varigated appearance seem to strengthen
the eyesight. The same may be said of
oak and the maple; but they do not ap-
proach to the beauty of the chestnut. The
common white-wood and pine may be
made to assume pleasing appearance by
coloring the wood with some simple stain,
initiating the lines and layers of darker
woods, and then " bringing out" or height
ening the effect by two or three coats Of
transparent varnish.

tT The late Charles jackson, who
built the Fort Dearborn Lighthouse at
Chicago, about the year 1880, on his re.
turn to Detroit after the completion of the
work, relates the fact that he had been
urged to buy 16O acres of land Con the
present site Of the city,, at two dollars per
acre; but he considered it so utterly worth
loss that he would not have taken it as q
gift. The land was marsh and was under
water good portion Of the year. Its pro.
ducts were bullfrogs and mosquitoes,
which yielded only music neither edifyiug
nor profitable.

The EGG QUESTION IN MAssAcHU.
sETTs.-Massachusetts has been consider
ing the egg question. A report eleven
pages long, was recently made to the Leg.
islature upon bill to regulate the sale Of
eggs by weight. In this report, the min
ority, who favor the bill, discuss the egg
question, ancient and modern, from every
point Of view; contrast the size of eggs
and bonnets, and declare that the female
managers of the poultry yard have studied
political economy profoundly, in order to
reduce the size and increase the number of
their eggs. They treat Of the egg trade
between France and England; of poultry
houses and diseases, and of the treatment
Of setting hens. The majority report is
one page long, and objects in fiat terms to
the bill.
