When the cloth has been thoroughly soaked, hang it to dry. This will not alter the appearance of the cloth, and it will resist many hours of rain. An eminent modern writer heautifully says:—The foun- Jration of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of wo¬ men ; the foundation of all political happiness, is confi¬ dence in the integrity of man; and the foundation of all teappiness, temporal and spiritual, reliance on the goodness of God. Cloth of any description may be rendered waterproof thus:—Take a quarter of an ounce ot yellow soap and a gallon of rain water; boil it for twenty minutes; skim, and when cold put in the cloth; let it soak for twenty- four hours; take it out and hang it up to drain, and, when it is half dry, put it into a solution of half a pound of alum, quarter of a pound of sugar of lead, dis¬ solved in four gallons of rain To Preserve Small Fruits without being Cooke D.-Strawberries,rasp¬ berries,.'blackberries, cher¬ ries and peaches, can be preserved in this manner : —Lay the ripe fruit in broad dishes, and sprinkle over it the same quantity of sugar used in cooking it. Set it in the sun, or in a moderate¬ ly heated oven, until the juice forms a thick syrup with the sugar. Pack the fruit in tumblers, and pour the syrup over it. Paste writing paper over the glass¬ es, and set them in a cool, dry place. Preserved in this manner, the fruit retains much more of itss natural flavour and healthi'ulness, than when cooked.— Farmer.
