THE FUTURE PROMISE.

The Fourteenth Legislature has
gone to work in Sav that gives
promise Of future quiet and good un.
derstanding between the people Of
the different parts of the State, and
their varied and often diverse inter-
es,s. The resolution declaring that
a knowledge of the English language
is a necessary qualification IN a juror
or Office holder seems to us to be EN-.
,nently just and wise. That it was
possible fer one to discharge pub
lie duty without this, seems the very
quintesence Of blind stupidity.
The subject OF frontier defense is
already claiming the attention of the
new Legislature. 1t will remain to
be seen If our Representatives will
find time to work one day upon q
problem upon which hinges much OF
the future prosperity and develop
ment of the State The agonlzing
notes of sorrow, coming daily from
our braye pioneers on the border
should awaken sympathy in the
men, who are Legislators to-day, by
the will and consent of these suffer,
ing people. This subject is one tina,

Frying FIsH-What is the reason

nothing more unwholesome or UNFIT to
eat. Fish, when large enough, includ-
ing rockfsh, bass, perch, trout, salmon,
&c, should invariably be boiled, if one
desires the full flavor of the fish in its
most delicious form, when it is highly
nutritious and wholesome But there
are certain fish too moist to boil, such
as the shad, WAiressh, spanish mackerel,

wives, for cleaning, whitewashiug,
painting, papering, and otherwise reno
waiting the domicle.
After the cleaning, whitewashing,
and painting is accomplished, comes
the process of papering the walls; but
the first thing, frequently, to be done is
the removal of the old paper. To do
successfully, wet the wall thoroughly :;
and, when well soaked, the old paper
can be stripped off very quickly. After
the paper is removed, wash the wall to
get off all the particles of paper which
may remain, and leave the walls till
nearly dry before commencing to lay
the new paper. Il the walls have been
whitewashed isstead of papered, wash
the walls with vinegar which will
make the paste and paper adhere more
securely. A bench is easily made for
measuring and cutting the paper, by
placing boards of suitable length across
two -four barrels The paper should
be unrolled and cut to proper length
and in sufficient quantity to cover the
room,. before the easting process COM
mences. These sheets should be laid
one Qyer the other, to be readily p,
hand when the paster is ready to b,.ein
work. The liability of turnip;, the
edges or damaging the paper will be
greatly obviated BY adopt: ing this
course. Flour paste is the usual arti-
Gle for the purpose, an1. rye -four is

desired degree of thickness is obtained;
then add little carbolic acid to pre-
vent the paste from souring or becom.
ing moldy. A broad white wash brush
is the best to apply the paste with, and
the paper should be laid quickly after
pasting, to prevent it's becoming soft
and tender to handle.
Two persons are required to lay on
paper with rapidity, one to paste and
one to apply the paper. When the
paper is pasted it should be handed to
the person on the ladder, who holds it

IMPROVED LAWNS.
From the Germantoarn Telegraph.

From the Germanto'rn Telegraph.
At this season, when the grass is
getting green, every ones attention is
drawn to the lawns and grass-plots sur
rounding their houses, and any sugges-
tiens for improving their appearance
may be acceptable.
Talking with an intelligent English
gentleman last year, he expressed his
opinion that much of the beauty of
English lawns was owing to persis-
tent wedding out of coarse vegetation
that might. interfere with the grass
Boys or women were often employed to
take out with old table knives daisies
and other things that were objection
able, leaving nothing but an uniform
growth of the proper lawn vegetation.
The lawns were rolled regularly after
rain with on iron or stone roller, and
this closed up any holes made by TAX
ing out the weeds.
In our country it is rare that any
one thinks Of wedding lawn, yet
glance at many we see, especially at
this season, shows what an advantage
it would be. Tufts of bluebottle and
garlic are by no means uncommon
1t is generally believed that it is not
possible to get rid of them, and it is
perhaps this feeling which suffers them
to exist without disturbance. 1t is not,
however, very difficult task. If the
ground is loosened with trowel or fork
the weeds can be drawn out, roots and
all. A few will possibly remain in the
ground in spite of great care; but the
next season when they sprout, it will
be seen how few comparatively were
left behind; and if they are then taken
out it will probably be the last Of them;
at any rate.if not quite all the third
year will assuredly finish them.
After all these large weeds have been
taken out there will be in many cases
holes so big that roller will not close
them In this case it will be necessary
to fill in with fine earth before rolling.
Grass will soon spread over these
patches of filled in soil, and before the
Summer is over no trace of the Spring
wedding operation will be seen.

allowing the upper end to hang over on
the backs of the hands. By looking
down the wall, it may be seen when it
matches the previously laid length :;
and after adjusting to match, it should
then be brought gently to the wall, the
backs of the hands then pressed against
the wall and passed upwards towards

the corners Of the length of paper
The scissors are then run along at the
juncture of the wall and ceiling, max

tly passed downwards and the paper
pressed against the wall to the bottom,
where it is cut off as at the top.
