Color of Country Houses.
Tt T8 easier to decide what the color of city
houses should be than of those in the country
Every one can see that streets lined with rows
of white buildings wonld be intolerable ; none
but eagles' eyes could endure the glare. City
houses should mostly be of a sober tint, ab
sorbing, not reflecting, the sun's lays, and not
easily disfigured by dust and smoke. But the
case is somewhat different with buildings in
the country.
Formerly, white was the prevailing fashion.
It was a neat and cheerful color, and supposed
to be the most durable. But a change was
at leiigfb decreed in this fashion. Foreign
writers condemned it, and native writers echo
ed their words with emphasis. Artists and
travelers gave it a shower of ridicule. White,
they said, "is too intense a color—it does uot
harmonize with the hues of a landscape. A
house so painted forces itself into notice—it
impudently stares you in the face. An object
of a sober tint, unexpectedly gilded by the
6nn, is like a serious countenance suddenly,
lighted up by a smile ; a whitened object is
like the eternal grin of a fool. No artist, of
auv reputation, would introduce a white house
npon his canvas. The color is too glaring for
the eye to rest upon, under our brilliant sun
shine." And so on. These criticisms turned
the fashion into the opposite extreme. Dark,
sombre colors, became all the rage. Many
beautiful cottages and cheerful houses embow
ered among trees, were changed into gloomy,
barn-like, prison-like structures. The most
popular color was what the painters styled
" Victoria brown," a dingy, melancholy hue,
in faint imitation of free stone. Nobody, real
ly liked the change ; it was a little too abrupt;
but then it was the fashion, and it must 1 e
swallowed down as a very genteel thing. But
common sense could not be long silenced, and
she soon spoke out. as follows : " Oh, ye sons
of men, why run to such extremes ! Because
white is too glaring, must ye therefore take
refuge in black ? Choose some of the softer
und more cheerful colors which I furnish you,
—the various shades of gray, fawn, light drab,
cream-color, straw color, the many pleasing
tiuts in your rocks and sands." Men listened
to this sage monitor, and the result was most
happy. Now, houses are mostly painted in
sober hues, but not in gloomy brown ; iD
cheerful hues, but not in intense white.
Let us not maintain,however,that no country
house should be painted white. A white cot
tage with green blinds, nestled among trees
and festooned with vines, is one of the pleas
antest scenes in any landscape Nor would
we object, in all cases, to green blinds on oth
er houses which are painted in some neutral
tint. The porch, cornice, window-frames and
other dressings, should be painted a darker or
lighter shade than the bouse itself, to relieve
what would otherwise he bald monotony.
Barns and other out-buildings should be
painted a darker shade than the house, to
make them inconspicuous, and to mark their
inferior uses. Several enterprising farmers of
our accpiaintauce, have lately rebuilt their
barns, clap-boarding them and fainting them
ichite! Why do you so ?we a-ked one the
other day. " Oh, we'd," said he, " I think as
much of my barn as I do of my house ; and
then, I wanted to spruce up a little." Wetnt
td to spruce up a little; that was it. But his
cattle and pigs have rubbed their muddy hides
against his clean white paint, as if determined
to get it as near the once fashionable " Victo
ria brown " as possible.
Fences should be painted in some subdued
color, so as not to attract much notice. "A
fence," says Cooper, " which looks as if it
were covered with clothes hung up to dry,
docs very little towards aiding the pictur
esque."
And now, having left the house ami got on
" the fence/' we shall decline saying anything
more.
OVERFTAXGIXG FRUT. —The papers are dis
cussing variously the right of a land-owner to
the fruit which hangs across the line into his
neighbor's garden. It appears that lawyers
have given different opinions, according to the
fact whether they themselves own on the one
side or the other. We know but little of law
but equity is very clear on the subject.
A. has no right to turn animals into his
own field, that will leap a good fence, or bur
row under it, into B.'s land—this is self-evi
dent with every person. On the same princi
ple, he has no right to plant and nourish a
patch of Canada thistles near the line, the
roots of which will push under the fence and
spread through B.'s fields, or the seeds of
which will be scattered over the fence. Now
if A. plants a line of fruit trees along B.'s
boundary, one-half the roots extend into ll.'s
soil, and one-half the branches shade B.'s sur
face. Has A. any better right, thus to bur
row under the fence, and to throw branches
across the top, than he has to place animals
in his field that will pass under and over a
good line fence ? There can be but one an
swer, to this question.
But B. lias not an equal right to all the
fruit on his side of the fence, for he incurred
no expense in planting the trees. B. cannot
therefore claim the fruit ; but he may claim an
amount of damages equal to the annual value
of land occupied and shaded—which raaj be
paid in fruit or in such other way as A and
B. can agree between themselves, or which
may be decided by a third party acting for
them.— Country Gentleman.
HORSE TALK. —The New York Spirit of
the Times gives the following characteristics
of a good horse:—l. Ilis eyes, even when
seen in the stable, are perfectly clear am 1
transparent, and the pupils or apples of the
eyes are alike in color and size. 2. On being
nipped in the gullet, he will utter a sound like
that from a bellows. If, on the contrary, he
should give vent to a dry, husky, short cough,
beware of hiin. His wind is unsound. 3.
His legs are smooth and "clean." If you
find buuehes or puffs, or a difference in size,
though he may not be lame, disease lurks
there. 4. If broad and full between the eyes,
he is susceptible of being trained to almost
anything, o. If some white or parti-colored,
he is docile and gentle.
MAXIMS FOR FARMERS. —For rich farms
stock w'th the stately Durhams ; for poorer
the active Devons.
The best point for a milker is a thin thigh.
To till caterpillars, rub them up with the
hand.
To kill live ou cattle, dust lightly with
ashes.

CATHARTIC PILLS
l NEW ami singularly successful remedy for the cure
J\. of all Billions diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion i
Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "Gout, Humors, !
Nervousness, irritability. InHamations, Headache, Pains I
in the Breast, Side. Back,and lambs. Female Complaints. ;
Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a j
Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much t
sickness and suffering might l>e prevented, if a harmless j
hut effectual Cathnrtie were more freely used. Xo per- j
sun can feel well while a costive habit of hmly prevails ; I
besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, j
which might huve'bcen avoided bv the timely and judi
cious use of a good purgative. This isalike true of Colds. 1
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for- i
midable distempers which load the hearses all Over the |
land. Hence a reliable family phvsic is of the first itn- |
portanccto the public health, and this Pill has been per- |
fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors. |
viiid Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated hyper- !
sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid j
the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen who have testiiied in j
favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Doct. A. A. HAYKS. Analytical Chemist of Boston, j
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes- j
sional character is endorsed by the—
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United
States.
ROBERT C. WIXTIIROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England.
tJOIIN B. FITZPATKICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston:
also
Dr..l. R. CHILTOX, Practical Chemist of Xew York
City, endorsed by
lion. W. |„ MARCY, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
; S. EEI.AXD & Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
t Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
evidence even more convincing than the experience of
eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and study,
are offered to the public as the best and most complete
which the present state of medical science can afford.—
They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by ( hemical process in a state of purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of composition for medicines has been found
in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by tin
old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with
more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu
rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
! more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful nn
: tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian. and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac
curate Formulae by which both my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States anu British American Provinces. If however there
should be any one who has not received them, they will
he forwarded" by mail to his reqnest.
Of HII the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their
life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries.
The composition of .ay preparations is laid open to all
men. and all who are competent to judge on the subject
i freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti
fic men to be a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stunwcli, bow
els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of
disease.
