PLASTER AS A PROTECTION AGAINST
FIRE.--After the conAagration in Paris
it was generally found that, with
good plaster work over them, beams
and columns of wood had been en-
tirely protected from the fires. In
cases where limestone walls had been
utterly ruined, on the outside, by the
flames passing through the window
openings, the same walls, internally,
escaped almost unscathcd, owing to
their being coated with plaster. On
many such plastcred walls the dis
temper decorations were still. to be
made out. The iron roofs rendered
good service, and the party walls Of
each house carrying of the right
through thereof, formed q most i'm
portant prccaution, for otherwise
nothing could have prevented the dis
astrous conaagration from being more
extensive than it was. 1t was also
found that good woodwork in beams
and posts, good wood floors, we'll
plugged, and good wooden staircascs,
were safer and more to be depended
upon than cast iron columns and stone
stairc"ses, landings and floors. Stono
staircascs, well protected by plaster,
were lire-proof although not so safe
as wood in case Of heavy debris falling.

s The Philosophy Of Marriage.

What Theodore Parker knew about
the "blessed estate of matrimony" is
told in this extract: "Young people
marry their opposite in temper and
general character, and such marri-
age is commonly a good match. They
say. My black eyes require to be wed
with blue, and my over-vchcmence
requires to be a little modified with
somewhat of dullness and reserve
When these oppositcs, come together
to be wed, they do not know it.; each
thinks the other just like itself. Old
people never marry their .opposites;
they marry their similars, and from
calculation. Each of these two ar
rangements is very proper. In their
long journey these two young oppo-
sites will fall out by the way a great
many times; but each will charm the
other back again, and by-and- they
will be agreed as to the place they will
20 to and the road they will 60 by,
and become ,reconciled. The man
will be nobler and larger for being as
|sociated with SO much humanity un-
like him elf, and she will be anobler
woman for having manhood beside
her, that seeks to correct her defcien-
cies, and supply her with what she
lacks, if the diversity be not too
great. The old bridegroom having q
much shorter journey to make, must
associate himself with one like him.
self. Men and women are married
fractionally; now few are married
totally, and they only, l think, after
some forty or Fifty years of gradual
approach and experiment. Such
large and sweet fruit is q complete
marriage that it needs q very long
summer to ripcn in, and then long
winter to mellow and season it,"
