A QUICKENED CONSCIENCE.

During lull in the conversation,
yesterday evening, grandfather Lick
shingle startled the family by remark
ing:
"I'ye lived over hundred years by

full manner.
"What's the matter p asked mother,
who was at his side in an instant.

His whole frame trembled like a leaf,
and deadly pallor overspread his face.
A window was thrown open, which SEEM

Dry RoT.-The term "dry rot'' is Of
ten misapplied to the decay of timber.
which, in fact, depend entirely on hu-
midity and there appears to be two
different kinds of destruction of timber,
each of them essentially connected with
this matter of humidity. One of these
is produced by parasitical fungus,
which absorbs the fbres of wood when
subjected to a moisture, and thus disor-
ganizes the natural fabric of the wood
while the other mode of destruction is
by decomposition, which may be correct
ly termed rot. and it is occasioned by
alternate wet and dry. The solidity of
timber is not so durable when the tree
has been filled with its growing portion
of sap. That the absence of moisture
secures every sort of timber from decay
is shown among other conspicuous in
stances, by the ancient mummy cases of
Thebes. 1t is also point of much i'm
portance in this connection, but which
may be said to be almost universally
lost sight of by builders, that stones
which retain or imbibe moisture to ex-
cess are unfit to be placed in contact
with timber in buildings where the con-
struction is designed to be durable.
