WHITEWAsH.-The following rec
ipe for white washing has been found
by experience to answer on wood,
brick and stone, nearly as well as
oil paint, and is much cheaper:
Stake half bushel of unslaked
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process. Strain
it and add a peck of salt, dissolved
in warm water; three pounds of
ground rice put in boiling water,
and boiled to a thin paste; half a
pound Of Pvrdore4 ePuVariiet hitting,
and a pound of clear glue, dissolved
III warm water; mix these we'll to-
getber, and let the mixture stand for
several days. Keep the wash thus
prepared in a kettle or portable fur
mace, and when used put it on as
hot as possible, with painters or
whitewash brushes.

SOME men are strangely sensitive.
They will get drunk, rave about the
streets, yelling like savages, go
home, beat their wives, turn their
children out of doors, resist the Of
ficers who arrest them, pay a fine
before the court, and having made
themselves as notorious as pos
sible, will slide around to the editor
and beg him, with tears in their
eyes, not to bring disgrace in their
families by mentioning the little at
fair in the paper.

TRUTHFULNEss.-Of all happy
households that is the happiest
where falsehoOd is never thought of.
All peace is broken up when once it
appears there is liar in the house.
All comfort has gone when suspicion
has once entered-when there must
be reserve in talk and reservation
in belief. One who will deceive or
tell falsehoold, breaks up the fam
lily peace, because the family conf
dence is gone. | fear that, from
some cause or another, there are but
few large families where every mem
Der is altogether truthful. But
where all are so organized and so
trained as to be wholly reliable in
act and word, they are light to all
eyes, and joy to all hearts. They
are public benefits, for they are
privately blessed within and without.
Without, their life is made easy by
universal trust; and within the
home and their hearts they have the
security of rectitude and the glad
ness of innocence.
