Take clean, water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it
half bushel of lime. Slake it by
pouring water over it, boiling hot and
in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till
thoroughly slaked. When the shaking
has been affected, dissolve it in water,
and add a solution of two pounds sui
phate of zinc, and one of common salt.
Ifdesirable,a beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash,
by adding to three pounds of yellow
ochre; or good pearl or lead color by
the addition Of lamp, vine, OF ivory
black. For fawn color, add four pounds
umber-Turkish or American (the lat
ter is the cheapest lone pound Indian
red, and one pound common lampblack.
For common stone color, add four
pounds raw umber and two pounds
lampblack. The value Of the sulphate
of zinc is that it makes the wash har-
den better after it is put on. Some
also put in half-pound of common
alum; others substitute the alumni for
the zinc. There is no mode of making
farm buildings attractive so cheaply
as with whitewash, and at the same
time of adding greatly to the preserva-
ton Of the wood. The above wash can
not cost over fifty cents, and literally
used, it will add five hundred dollars
to the market value of farm. We
can conceive Of but few things more
beautiful than clean, white farm build
ings and fences, iu contrast with rich
green of budding Spring.

Dear Sister Emma Il now take my
seat. and sit down to take this oppor-
tunity, to inform you that 1 am a
"daddy" at last; that is, suppose |
am, for Addie has got a nice, fat baby,
as ever made up faces. We hope that
these few lines may find you enjoying
the same great blessing. Now this is
to be strictly business letter. First
ly, as I said before, Addie has got a
nice baby. Nextly, I have swopped
away Old John, and think I have got
pretty nice horse, it is a girl, and
weighs nine pound-I mean the baby
it is just as fat as butter, and has a
good strong pair of lungs. She is red
and has a bobtail--the horse l mean
and white stripe in her face, and is a
good driver; she has got blue eyes and
dimple in her chin-I mean the ba-
by-and just the prettiest mouth that
ever opened to receive pap; Judging
from her teeth | should think she was
about six pears old mean the horse
now-she is sound, smooth and kind
[ mean the horse or baby either now
and the doctor says she is the fairest he
ever saw without any exception-he
meant the baby-I got twenty-five do!-
lars to boot, not on the baby though,
for in its case the boot is on the other
foot and two or three sizes larger, as
near as | can find out. lam going to har-
ness the horse now and 60 after moth
er, she was born last night at twenty
minutes past nine-I hope you don't
think l mean the mother of the horse,
[ mean the baby. She is as hearty as
a pig; eat an egg, biscuit, and drank
three cups Of teal mean Addie-she
is getting along nicely, and if she don't
have any bad luck she will get along
firstrate. She is subject to disorders
of the stomach and they say that is a
sign of colic-I mean the baby-I
hope it is, for the nurse says colicy
babys never die. She talks about her
nose as she takes snuff mean the
nurse. I am going to name it Ediema
I mean the caby. There, I've been
reading this over and I see plainly that
| amt fit to write. The amount of it is,
| am frustrated; | am happy daddy,
and that accounts for it, so you must
excuse me this time.

State elections of September, October and
November next, from present appearances
this Republican insubordination against
party rings and party candidates will be
very emphatically made manifest. The
issues between the opposition and the
dominant party, growing out of the short
commings and the corrupt doings of the
late Congress have hardly yet taken a
definite shape; but in the interval to the
fall elections the Republican budget of

Passing neat little residence the other even

AGAINST the curtained pane, beloved,
The snow beats thick and fast,
The wild Winds sorrowful refrain
Is telling of the past
And in the old familiar chair,
Beside the hearth fires glow,
sit and sing the tender air


You loved 80 long ago.
All, often since the springs, beloved,
Have bloomed above your rest,
breathe the sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast
As children in the cherries days
When winter darkly lowers,
Retrace the gardens sodden ways,
And talk Of last years flowers.
It never seemed to you, beloved,
When we walked hand in hand,
Amid the sunshine and the dew


OF youths enchanted land
1t never seemed to you or me


That could aing or emile
If you were lying silently


Within your grave the whlle-
We thought we could not live, beloved,
II we were torn apart
That earth would have no more to give
To either stricken heart:
Alas, the change that time has wrought
Your grave has held you long,
And in the home where you are not,
sing the dear old songl
Do you look back to me, beloved,
From out your happy sphere,
And deem me false, that can be
Alive and you not heref
Death does not always bring its bal
To every aching ILL
Life may outlast the dearest charm,
And heartbreak does not kill.
Tt would have been the same, beloved,
Had been first to die
Another love had worn your name,
More dear. perchance. than |.
All, after ali these weary years,
Would you more constant bes
And would you drop these bitter tears,
And sing the song for me?

A NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.-A we'll
dressed young man stopped at Vermont
hotel recently, for a few days, and made
acquaintance. The evening of the Sec
ond day of his arrival, nice young lady
came along, unattended, and instantly at
tracted the attention of the impressible
youngsters, who canvassed her charms
fully as they sat apart from her at supper.
The stranger youth even went so far as TO
say that he would marry her if she would
have him, and offered, for substantial
wager, to pop the question and have the
marriage ceremony performed right away.
The wager was accepted, and also the
proposal of marriage, made so suddenly
to her by the young man, and the parson
called in, who soon united the twain.
The sum wagered was paid over to the
happy bridegroom, and he and his bride
set off next day on their marriage tour.
What lends romance to the circumstance
is the fact that the young couple had al.
ready been man and wife for a year.

Do you know thinking tomorrow


We shall pass on our journey through life
One more of the mils-stODes that bring rs


Still nearer the goal, my good wife2
The glad anniversary morning


Of our wedding-day cOmeth once more;
And its evening viii find us still waiting


Who had thought to have gone long before.
We are old, wife, know by the burrows


Time has plow'd on your brow, once 80 fair;
know by the crown OF bright silver


He has left for your once raven hair;
know by the frost on the flowers


That Frightened our life at its dawn;
know by the graves in the ehureh-yard,


Where we counted our dead Yestermorn
Your way has been humble and toil-worR,


Your guest has been trouble, good wife
Part sunshine, more trials and sorrows-


Have made up your record through life;
But may the thought cheer you, my dear one,
Your patience and sweet clinging love
Have made me here such Heaven,


have asked, Z" Is there brighter abOve2
In hfe's winter, sweet wife, we are living,


But its storms AL unheeded viii fall;
What care we. who have love and each other,
Who have proved each to each, all in all ?
Hand in hand we await the nights coming,


Giving tbanks, down the valley we go;
For 10 love, and TO grow old together


Is the highest bliss mortals can know.
Some children are stin left to bless US,


And tighten our hearts day by day
II hope is not always fruitiOn,


We will strive to keep in the right way.
We have sowed, and reaped, but the harvest
That gamers the world we await,
And happy at last We may enter

to write series of twelve papers, on the Life,
Condition, and Resources Of the Southern States
of America They will he brilliantly illustrated,
and will be written with no other object than
that of representing, by pen and pencil, one Of
the most interesting, fruitful, and picturesque
regions of our common country. While they will
aim to convey reliable information on all the So
cial, industrial, and commercial topics suggested
by personal survey, they will be written in the
graphic style, and with the quick insight into
character and ready appropriation Of incident,
which have already given to Mr. King the title
Of "born Special Correspondent.


Mr.. King will devote the winter mainly to
travel and the personal collection of material
He will enter upOn his work with the enthu-
siasm Of youth and with the broad and ready
sympathy born of his own cosmopolitan habit;
and we bespeak for him, wherever he may 60,
the confidence and hospitable reception to which
his personal character and public errand entitle
him.


We characterize portion of our national do
main rs "The Great West.n The South, by its
extent Of territory and the magnitude of its in
terests and capacities, deserves no less signii-
cant title. With an area of nearly q million of
square miles-an area more than seven times
larger than the whole of Great Britain-and with
q list Of tropical products that play grand part
in the commerce Of the world, it deserves the
largest recognition. Mr.. Kings articles will lie
entitled: The Great South"


They will hs commcsDssa I, Mo MONTHLY next

subscription to the MONTHLY, for they will make
q complete illustrated bosk Of themselves, of
two hundred and fifty broad magazine pages.


Many of the features Of Southern life and land
scape are as strange to Northern and Western
eyes as if they belonged to another country; so
that in painting the South to itself, and giving it
q fair showing for its own satisfaction, most
