EVENING STAR. MILTON IN HIS OWN AND Ix ovR AcE.—There ate mysteries in bis . The apparent is not always wtrue ii ion of the real state ofthings. The contradiction and inconsisten- cies to be found in the annals of men and na- tions, have Rag Beg ner ned been compared tothe eddies windings that are seen in the current of a great stream as it flows on to its ocean home. The same object, looked at from a new po'at of observation, has an alto- gether different appearance. So it often is with those whose genius and acts have made them historical. In the light of new facts, their characters are changed in our eyes. We then seek to correct our jadgment, and praise or censure as justice demands. In his own time, Milton was considered a writer of sedi- tion; irours, his name stands pre-eminent as one of the noblest champions of lom; and, as Coleridge has finely said, ‘strode so far in advance of his as to dwarf himself in the distaace,"’ now shines with fall-orbed bright- ness aia starof the frst magnitude among the patriots a: d chiefs who mi in the fierce conflict of Old England’s bard fought battles for liberty. Higw to prive a Naw.—In driving a cut nail into hard wood, its entrance will be much ted by dipping it into oil, or what will er nearly a3 well, wet it with water or salive. Experienced carpenters are in tho habit of putting a neil into the mouth to wet it, before Senco to drive it into hard wood. When a nailisto remain war ey salt water or saliva is peifecahis te oil, as the former will rust the nail and cause it to take @ firmer hold. En all cases it is better to in- Serta nail so thatits widest diameter shall stand parallel with the grain of the wood. Thi generally done in thin boards where there is danger of splitting, but it should al- ways be done, even if nailing into a solid Piece of timber; for where a ruptare does not take place by setting the wide part of the nail across the grain, yet gr a opening is pro- duced near the nail, which admits air and moisture and hastens decay around it.—Dos- ton Post.
