THRIFT OF TIE r.I.yHRES.

In perfectly good humor, n southern
paper has given the following pungcnt and
inimitable sketch:-
"A mountain of granite appears rather a
tough subject to deal with, yet a Yankee
will burrow into its bowels, and 10! the
granite becomes gold in the vaults of the
Commonwealth Bank in Boston.
a pond of ice presents a cheerlcss and
chilly prospect to the eye, but the Yankee,
nothing daunted, will heave up its crystal
masses, and straightway the ice glitters in
diamonds upon the bosom of his rosy
checked spouse.
Wherever the Yankee layeth down his
hands, gold springcth
Into whatever soil soever he thrusteth his
spade, gold sproutcth thcrefrom.
In the dim twilight, by his chimney cor
ner he stitch mcdiiating, and thoughts
chase one another through his brain, which
thoughts are gold.
Various they arc, it may he, in form and
seeming.
one is but gridron, another baby
jumper, and third a steam-engine, but he
writcth them all down in the patent Office
at Washington, and then putteth them in
his pocket in golden eagles from the mint
at Philadelphia.
But your genuine Yankee coineth not
merely his own sagacious conccits; the fol-
lies, the fears and errors of others, are
moreover all gold to him.
lie iabricateth "mermaids" and "sea SER
pents," and lockcth up in his own iron
chest heaps Of golden crodulity.
lie maketh pill of chalk and wheaton
bread, which he warranteth to cure asthma,
hydrocephalus, epilepsy and yellow fever,
and presently buildeth him great house
on the banks of the Hudson.
When a sudden delirium seizeth all the
world, prompting them to emigrate in
floods to nowhere, he quietly mustereth his
fleet of transports for that destination, or
buildeth a railroad in that direction, re-
gardless of what is at the other end.
He erecteth to himself no castles in the
air but he diligently aideth his neghbors
to build the same, and out of the proceeds
grow up to him presently castles upon the
earth. Such is the modern Midas-the Mi
das without the long ears-the cool, acute,
sagacious, calculating Yankee"

Arkansas, notwithstanding that her
credit has been nearly ruined by malad-
ministration of her affairs, is very rich in
natural resources. EThs state contains
some of the richest cotton land in the
South. Coal and iron have been found in
abundance, and there are large deposits of
zinc, lead and copper in some sections. All
of the lead ores are rich in silver, some OF
them yielding over 81 200 per ton. A new
source of wealth has been discovered in
the caves of the Boston mountains. These,
known to the early settlers rs bat caves,
are in pure gypsum limestone formation.
Some Of them are miles in extent, and
contain millions of tons of nitrous earth.
Nearly all the saltpetre used in the manu-
facture of gunpowder in the Confederacy

al procured from these caves II has been

As the wandering Bedouins sit by their
nightly fire, their priest tells them the fol-
lowing story:
In old times the ostrich lived with other
animals, his companions in the desert, in
the full enjoyment of all the gifts of the
great Omnipotont.
Then he had large and powerful wings,
and could fly better than any other bird
yea, better than the Bustard, his dearest
friend. One day the latter said: "Delr
brother, if it is agreeable to you, God per-
hitting, we will fly to the river together,
and have good time drinking and bath
ing, and then we shall return refreshed
to our children" The Ostrich answered
GOOD we will ily' but he did not add,
"if God will, for he was proud AID haugh-
ty. lie did not bow to the will of the AL
mighty, whose praise the angels in heaven
make known to us, and whose honor the
thunder celebrates, although he knew his
indesccibablc goodness but he trusted to
his own strength and the power of his large
wings.
The next morning both prepared for their
journey. The Bastard said, piously, ain
the name of God" even before spreading
his wings but the Ostrich said nothing ;
he only laughed in his heart at the simple
ity of the BASTARD. lie Tapped his wings
apd rose; he flew upward into ethereal
space, and hurried towards the eye of God
the sun. His heart was filled with
haughtiness; he forgot the Dispenser of all
good, whose measure of patience was filled
to overlooking; and now his anger was ex-
cited against the transgressor. Higher and
higher the Ostrich flew, as if determined to
penetrate into the dwelling of the AL
mighty. Then at the command of God.
the Christening angel drew aside the veil
which covered his fiery rays, and these
sent out their flaming heat in the twink
ling Of an eye the wings of the Ostrich
were burned, and he fell down to the earth.
To this day he cannot fly; to this day the
mark of his fall is plainly seen on his
breast, in his shortened wings and burned
feathers; to this day he runs with giant
strides, as If to escape the anger of the AL
mighty.-Merry's Mlseum.

TOLEDO BLADE.

There can be but little doubt that damp
is one of the most formidable enemies to
health which our climate harbors. We are
not far enough north for piercing cold to
be habitually or acknowledgements. We
arc not far enough south to be subject to
the icvers, malaria, and sunstroke ofhotter
climates. But the list of ills arising from
the moisture of our climate is a long one !;
1t embraces the various forms of phthisis
and rheumatism, and includes some all
ments, such as coughs and colds, from
which it is no eXaggeration to say that not
one in Il thousand is exempt.
Our dress and our dwellings, our food
and our habits of life, ought to be specially
designed TO protect us against inclement
weather, and its consequences and no
doubt TO SOME extent they are so, but not
in anything like an adequate degree and
it is notorious that our houses especially
stand in need of Improvement in this re-
spect. This might easily take place if pub
lie attention were sufficiently directed to
the necessity for it, and dry house became
an object of constant demand but so long
as the persons who take houses will rest
quite content with their being roomy well
arranged, and pleasant looking, without
much thought as to whether they are like
to prove dry and healthy,-so long will the
majority Of builders continue to neglect
precautions which cannot be observed with
out some expense, and attention to which
does not, they find, add to the money val
ne of the houses that they erect. The first
step to improvement in the average dwell
ing-house is to create, ifpossiblc, state of
public opinion such as would render a bad
ly constructed house an unmarketable ar
ticle.
Damp, when it enters house, comes in
at the roof, at the doors and windows,
through the walls, from the ground, or
through leakage Of pipes. The entrance of
damp through the roof itself is fortunately
so unpleasantly conspicuous, owing to its
staining the ceilings, that it is not long in
being found out, and before repairs more
or less complete are made. But for this,
roofs would be more commonly untrust-
worthy than they are, and injury to health
and life would oftener occur through their
failure. Many roofs, are, however so con-
structed that, in times of great rain and of
snow, AN inundaton is almost inevitable;
and the situotiop or sucb houses os arc
near trees exposes tbom ovorv out,,rnn 10
the danger of overfiows from cutters SION

dry, should be of sufficiently steep pitch

the covering, the materials should be good,
