HOUSE BUILDING.-Ifo ones house existed
for its own sake if it were an end in and
of itself, there might be some fitness in the
attempt to give it positive beauty. But as
the matter stands, only that human habita-
ton satisfies my eye in which the aim of
beauty or art as such is entirely swallowed
up and lost sight of in the suggestion of
comfort, warmth, stability, and | do not
think that the house is beautiful, but invit-
ing and home like. If the builder has
added any intrinsic ornaments, anything
not in keeping with the necessities of the
construction (of course / would not confine
him to the bare bones of the case; if he
has clapped on an abominable French roof,
which, in our climate, answers so poorly
the purposes of a roof and suggests no
shelter or hospitality; if he has thrust up
tower where there is no view to command:
or if he has painted his structure one of
those light, delicate tints, that is like moth
ing out of doors, and makes one feel as if
the house ought to be taken in out of the
wet and the weather, | see he has made a
bid for the admiration of the public, and
that he had no deep want in his heart to
satisfy.-John Burroughs, Scri6ner.

mol. JAMES H. SKINNER FOR CON-
" GRESS.-It having been currently re-
ported for week or two past that Col Skin
ner would not accept the nomination for Con-
gross, should it be rendered to him by the Con
Yention, he has been approached upon the aub-
ject and has authorized the statement that,
while out of his power to engage in an active
canvass at this time, he would deem the nomi-
nation by the people o this District an honor
not to be rejected by any man.
In the belief that the county has no worthier
son, that he has greater strength in the lower
counties of the District than any other Angus
ia man, and that no one is more universally re-
spected and esteemed throughout the District :
believing, too, that his conduct in every rela;
ze u in war and in peace has been above re- re-.
proach, and that this is the surest guaranty we
can have in times when the popular sentiment
is demanding reform in the public service and
integrity in public servants, the people of this
county are invited to unite in his support.
