Green Pain. 70: iaris. Purposes,

Nothing is of greater Importance to the
setting of of country or suburban resi-
denee. than the appearance of the veran-
das. the trellis work, and the garden
stands. TO keep them in perfect order,
they should be painted anew every wear.
and their improved appearance will fully
repay the trouble and expense. In the first
place it's needful to cleanse them from all
dust and dirt, and it is well 10 select dry
day tor this purpose. When they are per
lectly dry. apply with large paint brush
the first coat. male of the following mix
ture: Take white lead and mineral green
ground III turpentine. with the addition of
small quantity Of turpentene varnish
When the first coat is well dried in. use the
following for second coat: Take the
ZANE mixture as before, but add as much
turpentine va rniSh as is needed to give il n
good gloss; and if one desires still brigh.
ter shade of green, add a little Prussian
blue, which greatly improves the beauty OF
it, color. Such Il coating as this will be i'm
'S ~ ''iN y" 'A''iNi iOi ooibc liilie, anu
j. also an excellent paint for window
blinds. If you cannot procure the turpen-
tine varnish, you can prepare it from the
following recipe: TO every quart of tur-
pentine add one pound of rosin pounded
very fine, LEI it boil in an iron pot or tin
vessel for about an hour. 1t is rather dam
gerous to make this varnish indoors on

Better than Gold.

Better than grandeur. better than gold.
Than rank aud title a thousand fold,
Is healthy body, mind at ease.
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for a neighbours woe
And share his joys with genial glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear.
Though toiling for bread in a humble sphere !;
Doubly blest with content and health,
Untried 10y the list of cares or wealth.
Lowry living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennobie poor mans cot:
For man and morals on Natures plan
Are the genuine test of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their laoors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep.
Bring sleeping draughts TO the dbwnv bed.
Where luxury pillows MS aching head:
His simple opiate labor deems
\ shorter road 10 the land of dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind
That IN the realm Of books can find
\ treasure SURPRISING Australian ore.
And live with the great and good of yore.
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glorle> OF empires past away:
The worlds great drama Will thus unfold
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better tn IN gold is peaceful home,
Where all the fires ide charities cone:
The shrine of love and the heaven of life,
fialowed by mother, or sister. or wife.
However humble the home NAV be.
Or tired by sorrow with Heavens decree.
The blessings that never Were bought or sold
Aud centre there. are better than gold.

buckwheat, are appropriate food. Some
