He was already ac¬ quainted with her. but had neyer looked upon her witb the eye nnitrimonial. Snaan waa the inido of her mother. Mrs. Prim never failed to show off to company the eminently useful and practical abilities of her daughter. Ooe day, shortly after Charley bad determined, as ftboTe stated, to enter forthwith into the matrimonial condition, be took dinner with llio Prims. Tbis was & first-rato oppor¬ tunity to leurn the merits of Miss Susuu. ' Try some of these pickles, Mr. Anderson ; they ure some of Su8an*s own making; you will find them excellent; sbe is h great hand to makt^ pickles. Tery. girl to make a fine appearence in society. She is BO Tery ladylike. She is worth looking after.' Accordingly, tbe next erening after dressing himself with annsoal care, Charley Anderson Bet ont to visit Mtsa Angelina Roscdale. Arri- Ted at tbe house, be passed through a Tery beautifnl flower-garden, redolent with roses and violets; and eTery other species of flowers; nnd having knocked for admittance, was ush¬ ered into a splendidly furnished parlor, where be bad to wait for a considerable time. At lengtb Miss Angelina made her appearance, saluted Mr. Anderson with great dignity and grace, and sank upon a sofa with a languid, exhausted nir. Her form was sylph-like, and very beautiful was ber face ; Charley thought he had never seen snob a pretty lady before; ' And 80 you have beeu to the North again. • Really, Mrs. Prim, they are very fine, and Miss Angelina? I suppose ourlittle town looks Miss Suaan deserves great credit for them.' ; rather dull and dingy to you after visiting the ' She is quite an adopt in ull these things, i Bplendld northern cities.* Wby really, Mr. Anderson, I don't koow Charlie Anderson wna discontented. And wbo is not discontented ? Tbe millionaire who ^bas accumulated immense hoards of wealtb, and amassed sums far beyond what his most sanguine hopes had pictured, Is not satisfied. The statesman and thc warrior, who have climbed the ladder of famo to its snmmit, to whom nationa render homage, are not content with what they have achieved. The author and tbe poet, though they read their praises in a thousand jouroala, are not satisfied ; neitber is the Tillage belle, though a dozen lovers are sighing at ber feet. Charlie Aoderion, as we taid at first, was not satisfied, was not content, thongh he could hardly assign any reason to bimself wby he was uot. He bad a kind and wealthy father, who supplied biro very liberal¬ ly with money, nnd a mother wbo loved him dearly, for he was their only child. Charles Anderson had heen in fact a spoiled child, and was nenrly a spoiled mnn. Having never enjoyed tbe advantagea of early poverty aod adversity, the scbool of great men and great -^achievements, but baving from infancy moved smoothly on in conscious security and plenty, he bad acquired nn indolent, forceless habit of mind, which was more itnwortby from the fact tbat be was naturally endowed witb fine abili¬ ties. But it was no secret regret for wasted op¬ portunities nnd misspent time tbat made him discontented at present. He had arrived at that age wheu men think very seriously on the subject of matrimony, and it was matrimonial thoughts wbicb now disturbed him. He bad reasoned or fancied himself into tbe conclusion that ho could not be bappy without a wife, and be was determined to get married as soon' as be could. Ho was not in love by any means. • As for love,' said be to bis grandmother, with wbom be was discussing tbe subject, ' I can love just wben I choose, fur that is a mat- m ter more of association thau anythiug else, and I am old enough now to let reason have some hand in tbe business. A man is mucb more influenced by feeling before he is twenty-five than after that age. But here I am twenty- seven years old, almost an old bachelor; 1 must bestir myself, and get a rib.' • And Charlie,' replied his grandmother, ' be sure tbat you marry a girl that can make a wife in fact, a helpmate ; don't throw yourself away on one of these fiue, stuck up j'oung la¬ dies, who can do nothing but dress, and play on the piano, and read novels, and talk about moonlight Qet a wife that can make shirta and puddings, and make up beds, and raise chickens and cabbages, and make home com¬ fortable. Girls are difi'erent now from what tbey used to be when I was young. There is Susan Prim; now sbe is a nice, quiet, indus¬ trious girl, just tbo very one to make a good domestic wife.' But Charlie's mother, who had rather higher notions tban bis grandmother, for tho family had been • riaing ' since sho was a girl, put in *a word. • I hope tbat wbeu Charley does marry, he will get a wifo whom he will not be ashamed to see in society. I would prefer that he should get a lady who is qualified to move in any circle. He does not need a wife to work for him, but one wbom he will be prond to compare with the best in the land, and such a one hb is entitled to.' Charley said no more upon tbe subjeot at the time, but be had hia own opinion in rela' tion to the subject. He felt perfectly confiden tbat he could follow hia reaaon entirely in tbe important matter, and never once thought of tbe poasibility of falling in love. He imagined tbat it waa possible for a young man of suscep¬ tibility and refinement to enter into tbe mar¬ riage contract witb as much coolness and de¬ liberation as be wonld take a railroad contract or go into tbe tea trade, and having escaped, as he thought, tbe dangers of youthfal impet¬ uosity—for be bad been in love once—he would ^ be calm and cautious in choosing a partner for life. Ho bad read, in many newspapers and moral essays, the solution of tbe momentous problem, * bow to choose a wife.' Many wise saws bad he perused, wherein industry, mod¬ esty, meekness, domestic qualifications, &c.t were lauded, and fashionable accomplisbments decried, the spinning-wheel exalted and the piano abused; tbe authors of wbich adTico had of course followed the same in tbeir own cases, or more probably could speak with more cer¬ tainty from having experienced the evils of not doing 60. However, Charley was strong in tbe belief tbat ho would exercise great caution in choosing for himself a wife, and he was deter¬ mined to have a good one. Charley Anderson waa a desirable match for any girl in the villago, and so he knew or thoaght himself to be. He was a fine-looking, healthy young man, with brown bair and bright, grey, intelligent eyes; and he bad in * his own right, besides a rich father, a consid¬ erable fortune. He had received a classical education, and possessed easy and gracefa^ manners, and great conversational powers. So, with an ordinary amount of vanity, and for. getting the unaccountable nature of womeoi especially young ones, he imagined that all be had to do was to make hia seleotioa acoording to the rules of philosophy and prudence, then Bay tbe word, and the thing would be done. He was acquainted with all the yoang ladiea in the village, and had been flirting witb some o^ them for years, bat ho was determined to set ^ out now de nous with a serious matrimpnial in¬ tention, to inspect and observe closely the qualitiea and merita of those young ladies wbom be might consider marriageable. Susan Prim was considered by most of the old folka as oneof the beat 'chances* fora ^f young man in tbe wbole village. She waa a perfect specimen of the < practical,* and a i&rj good specimen of the 'material' was Snian.

I raised her in tbe old fashioned wny, to make herself useful.' Vnrious iirlicles. especially in the pudding and pie liue, were found to be productions of Miss Susnn'a industry. Indeed, she was evi¬ dently ao excellent housekeeper, could mako ber own dreeaes, made the finest shirta for ber father, and took pride in having everything about the place marvellously nent. She bore herself very modestly under the eoconiums of ber mother, and Charley began to think that she waa just Ihe person to make a comfortable | home, llwastrueshehadnotdarkbairorbrown ejes, which he would have preferred, but then i be could do very well without them, and he i had balf made up his mind to * put in * atl Squire Prim's by the time dinner was over, af- { ter which the young folka were shown into tbe j parlor. i Tbe bouse wa-i finely situated, and from ita windows could be seen a very beautifnl land¬ scape ; tbe situation was the merest acoident for old Prim never once thought of beauty in ' selecting its site. It was summer ; tbe wbole vegetable creation was rejoicing in new life; : the flowers were budding forth iu glorious pro¬ fusion everywhere. Everywhere, did I say ? not so ; our hero could discover none In the front garden of Prim's house, in tbe place where flowers ought to be. Charley had a taste, or rather an eye and a nose for flowers, and be expected to see some of tbem, in pots or in the front yard, but there were none, and wbat struck him as peculiar was the fact that instead of roses and pinks, the practical band of Misa Susan had planted there sage and beans and onions nnd cabbages. This he did not exactly like; it was carrying usefulneys too far. * What a beautiful view you have from thia window I' said Charley. * Yea,* said Miss Suaan. * It seema to mo that if I were going to build a residence for myself, I would select a situ¬ ation for beauty, as mucb or more than for any otber advantago. Do you not tbink tbat tbe scenery wbiob we are accustomed to con¬ template has considerable influence in forming our minds and dispositions ?* •Yes.' 'Most of the countries that have been dis¬ tinguished by great men and heroic actiona, whicb have occupied a large placo in tho histo¬ ry of tie world, and wbore the light of immor-. tal genius bas shone with the most brilliancy. are countries abounding in beautiful Bcenery.j as Palestine, Greece, and Italy.' * Y'es.' ' I see you have a taste for poetry,* said Charley, taking up a volumo which ' ornamen¬ ted • tbe centre table ' This ia my favorite authoress, Mrs. Hemans. Her 'Pilgrim Fath¬ ers' Is a poem not surpaased in any language or in any age!' ' Yes, she is a Tery good poet.' * It is strange that women have not excelled in poetry. It would seem that they are emi¬ nently qualified for tbis species of compoaition, having more sensibility, more delicacy of feel¬ iug, and more ready iirvention tban men.' * Yes.' Charley looked out of the window ; he saw browsing ou thc green bill-aide a very fine herd of cattle ; tbey made a picturesque ap¬ pearance, and so be remarked. He had struck the right oord; this brougbt Mias Susan out. Yea they are mighty fine cattle. Do you aee tbat brown cow off by herself? Tbat is one of the greatest cows tbat you ever saw; she gives gallons of milk every day ] and there's anotber in tbe same flock tbat is almost as good. Pa got tbe breed from Cousin Joe Wil¬ liams.* Charlie found Misa Susanperfectly nt home on the subject of raising cowa nnd calvea and chickens, and the times and the modes of plan¬ ting cabbages, &c. And after spending mnch time in thia very useful discussion, he left her, with tbe promise of bringing her some rare cabbage-seed which bia grandmother bad re¬ cently received. * Well, Charley,' said his grandmother, ' and BO you spent tho day at tbe Prims. How do you begin to like Miss Susan; she is a fine smart girl, isn't sbe ?' ' Yes grandma she's smart enough, and a very good too.' ' And I suppose you bave been courting her all day V ' Well not exactly ; the fact is*— * Why what objection oan yoa find to ber now ? Yon know you said you had outgrown foolish notions about loving pretty faces, and all tbat sort of thing" ' Why, the truth is, grandma, Miss Susan is a good enough girl, and I have no doubt would make a very industrions domeatio wife, but sbe lacks mind and refined sentiment.' ' Tbere, you are now talking nonsense just like aome young boy. What has sentiment and poetry and all tbat to do wiUi getting married, keeping house, and haTing all things comfor¬ table about you?' ' Wby, you see grandma, a man marries a wife not merely to proTide for his comfort and domestio conTenience, but as a companion and and friend. Man is twofold in bia nature, ani. mal and intellectual or spiritual, and he needs ailment for his soul aa well aa for his body. How is it possible for a man, wbo baa any tastes or desires aboTe mere sensual comforts to enjoy tbe marriagfa state to ita full exteut with ono who has no tastes similar to his own, and with whom he can haTe no community of sentiment? "Woman was designed to be a helpmato to man, not merely in the provision of food and clothiag, but in the higher and nobler aspirations of bis soul. Itis her pro- Tinoe to animate him with lofty purposes, and incite him to honorable exertion, to sympath- bow you live in this little old place all tbrough the summer. I think I ahould die if I were compelled to stay here.' ' Oh, we manage to get along, after a fash¬ ion, with books and various little amusements. I suppose you hada pleasant trip.' ' We bad an unusually fine time this sum¬ mer. Have yon ever heen at Saratoga? Qh, that ia aucb a delightful place !' ' Did you ever spend much time tbere ?' ' Only about two weeks. We made some very pleasant acquaintances there—tbe Squee- zle-phnntnms from New Tork, and the Tape- wells of Pbiiadelphia; tbey made quite a sen¬ sation ; and there waa Mr. Dootell, wbo, you know, ia auch an'entertaining beau.' ' I suppose you went to Niagara also.' ' Oh, yes! We went there also, bnt did not stay long ; tbe compnny was not ao agreeable aa at the springs. We only stayed there a day.' *But did you have time to see the falls suf¬ ficiently in so short a time?' ¦ Oh, you don't suppose we went there to look nt the falls, do yon ?' ¦ ' Why, certainly, Miss Angeline; for what else?' 'Why. to seethe people who were there, and to dance and enjoy one's self.' ' But were yon not filled with wonder at tbe sight of the mighty cataract ?' *0b, yes ! Of course, I was,' aaidMisa An¬ gelina, recollecting heraelf, and quoting: *It is one of the most sublime spectacles tbat the eye of man ever beheld, and filla the soul with pmotions of grandenr ineffable. It impresses ua with the majesty and omnipotence of the Creator, and our own littleness and insignifi¬ cance ;* but pa says they bave more waya to cheat people out of their money there than any otber place he ever was at.' her the momentous question; ht had badevery kind of enooiUBgeibeni;^and he did liat donbt for a moment (hat be had made a favorable impression on Mary's heart, and that bis' suit wonld end according to hia-wiahes. It was, therefore, with mnch surprise and mortifioa- lion that he had received a refusal. * i will confess to you, Mr. Anderson,' said Afary, * that I prefer you to any one in the world; but I oannot consent to marry yoa nntil you have proved yourself fully a man capable of meting an bonorable'and useful part in the great drama of life—a part worthy of your o[:portunitie8 and talents. Itmay be an ab¬ surd thing in me; but I cannot love n man, Mr. Anderson, nnless he showa the will and ability to distinguish bimself from the masses by intellectual superiority. Perhaps I bave read too much history or romance; but it ia BO. You have an ample field for the exercise of those talents which I know you possess.— These are stirring timea, and this is a progres¬ sive country; we have a great destiny to fulfil, and muat all contribute our portion to the grand work. I can do but little myself; but I will exert wbat influence I can to animate others. Charley attempted no reply; various aud conflicting emotions made bim dumb. To be reproached for inefficiency, for weakness, by any one, is bad enough ; but when that re¬ proach comes from one we love, it stings like a scorpion. Charley felt humiliated; he al¬ most bated bimself, and, between diaappointed love, mortified pride, and self reproach, he Bpeut many sleepless hours that night. From tbat time, Charlea Anderson applied himself to study in earnest. Naturally gifted with eloquence and a fine genius, he soon dis- tinguised himself as one of the leading men of the country and of the State. He was sent to represent bis country in tbe legislature; and three years from tbe time when Mary Ea¬ ton rejected bis snit be stood in tbe halls of C'lngress, one of the representatives of bis State in the great council of the nation. In tbe mean time, troubles has come on Mary and her mother. Tbe little property they bad had been taken from them, owing to some defect in the title: and they now depended on the exertions of Mary alone for tbeiraopport. Charley had not beeu to see her since the eventful nigbt of his rejection; for be felt so humiliated that he could not have looked her in tfae face. ' I alwaya thought you were wrong, Mary, in rejecting Mr. Anderson,* said her mother oue evening, aa they were talking over their offaira, ' you will nover have sucb an offer ag^.' *I could not love him then, mother; and, if he cares nothing for me now that be bas be* come a distinguished man, I cannot help it. It makea me happy though to think that I have bad some influence upon his destiny.' ise with him in his triumphs, or soothe him disappointment and sorrow.' 'Well, well! Charley; that's all very fine. I am afraid that your mother and your college going haTe put aome mighty flighty notions in your head. But mind me; you bad better take my advice about this matter. There was your grandfather and me ; I am sure we got aloDgmigbty well, andwencTer had any of your notions about aentiment and aspirations, and all tbat. But do as you please. ****** * Did you see Angelica Bosedale at church .to-day T* said Mrs. Anderson one Sunday. * She is a beautifnl girl, isn't she V Yea she is a remarkably fine lookmg young lady» aud exceedingly graoefal'* 'Shedresaes with suoh excellent taate. Thatha a ohaiaoe for you, Charley you must go and aee her.' :. ; * Yei, ma'am, l intend to «sll thera to-mor- It happened that, as Miss Angelina cast ber eyes caaually in tbo direction of the door, she saw—oh, horror!—a cat, a dreadful cat enter tberoom. Now, whether she thought tbat it became her, as a lady of refined sentiment and delicate, nervous temperament, to become a^ once immensely terrified, or whether she really did have an antipathy to the harmless little auimal, wedo. notknow; but, appropriating one of the screams of the song to her case, she jumped up from the piano, and besought Mr. Anderson, in the most pathetic terms, to pro¬ tect ber from the dreadful creature, and drive it out. Charley made at puss with great ardor and in the cbaso sbe ran over *he feet of Miss Angelina ; this settled tbe matter. There was a sofa convenient; and so tfae lady fainted at once. The fanuly were alarmed; nud not untif cold water and salts were abundantiy applied did Miss Angelina revive, wben after a decent period had elapsed, be took hia leave. ¦Sheia very beautiful,' thought he, ashe slowly wended his wny home, • and sbe sing^ nnd plays very finely, nnd baa some mind and sentiment; but I find something lacking aboul ber. I don't think sbe would make a bnppy home. A man can't live on rosea altogether any more tban he can on cabbages.' Days and months passed away^; and still Charley was a bachelor, notwithstanding his resolutiou, and notwithstanding Miss Angelina looked very beautiful at him, and he took din¬ ner several timea at Mr. Prim's. He had too much intellect and poetry in bia composition for tfae one, and too much philosophy and com¬ mon sense forthe other. Like a seosible man be was using his reason and calm judgment in the matter. One evening, as onr hero was strolling in the outskirts of the village, bis ear caught tfae sound of a favorite song, sung by one of the sweetest voices tbat he faad ever heard; be paused and liatened. The voice proceeded from a little wbite cottage, witb an ivy-covered porch, nnd a little flower-garden in front— Charley knew it well as the residence of Mrs Eaton, n widow lady in bumble circumstances; but be could not imagine wbo it was tfaat made Bucfa beautiful music, for he thought it tbe sweetest voice tfaat he had ever heard. Long did he listen to the strains; and all tbe woy home the sweet tones of the unknown song¬ stress haunted his soul. Wheu he returned home, fae inquired of his mother who it was that was staying at the widow Eaton's. ' Why, Mary Eaton, her daughter, who bag just returned from achool, orratherfrom teach¬ ing school; for she has been teaching for a year. Don't you remember little Mary tbat used to pass here every day?* ' Oh, yes ! I remember her very well now she bad such pretty brown eyes.' ' How came you to inquire about her?' ' Wby, I was passing Mrs. Eaton's tfais even¬ ing, and I faeard the sweetest voice singing tfaat I ever listened to ; and I could not im¬ agine wbo it was. I think I muat claim old acquaintance.' 'I have no doubt, Charley, that you will find Mlsa Mary a very fine girl; and your must take care of your heart, for she is very pretty and accomplished. It is a great pity that she is poor.' According to hia resolution, Cfaarley, the next evening, callod at Mrs. Eaton's; be was ushered into a plain, but neatiy furnished little parlor, wbere he found Miss Mary. - Mary Eaton bad not regular features ; but her hair was of a beautiful brown, and ahe had the prettiest brown eyes in tfae world. It was not long before Charley waa on the very best terms with the little schoolmistress. Tbey talked about old timea and old friends, and Mary sang and played many sweet old songa just to suit Charley's taste; so he passed a delightful evening, and waa half ia love/ thongfa he did not know it when he started home. Night after night found Charley at tfae widow Eaton's. At first, he labored to find some ex¬ cuse for bia visits; but at last he was compel¬ led to Acknowledge to himself that his heart was gone—that he was dead in love. All his philosophy, all hia cool reason, had vanished. He actually did not know, he had formed no idea whether Mary Eaton had a domestic turn or not, or whether she oould moke a comforta¬ ble bome; he did know that she had a sweet voice, and that the light of her eye thrilled his soul with Inexpressible emotion. It was with aome misgiTlngs tfaat he broke the news of his intended proposal tohis mother; ashe expect¬ ed, ^she objected and remonstrated. His grand¬ mother thought Suaan Prim a much better match; but old Mr. Anderson, who had been crossed iu loTe in yonth himself, and had not entirely forgotten that he was once a young man, as old men are so very apt to do, gaTe his opinion decidedly in favor of Charley having his own way. In the^mean time, it had nerer once occur¬ red to the mind of Charley that perhapa he might meet with opposition to his matiimonial schemes from the young. lady heuelf. i .It ia trda that, although ha had not jdirabti^ ^^^ It is a beautiful evening ; tho sun Is smiling good-night to the budding trees and opening fiowera of spring. The door of the cottage is open, nnd Mary is singing a plaintive old song to her piano. A manly step is heard on the piazza ; and when she turns to see who itis, Charley Anderson is standing In the door.— We pass over tfae embarrassment of tfae flrat greeting, botb were ogitated. At length, after they faad become acquainted again, Cfaar¬ ley gatfaered courage to make a speech after this fasbion : * I owe to you, Miss Mary, oil that I have done worthy of myself and my oircumstauces, and I have come again to offer jyou ray hand and my whole heart.' Tbe reat of what waa said and done on that occasion is not reported : but Charly Anderson carried with him to Washington a bride tfaat fae wns nut ashamed to compare with nny In the nutlon, and even his grandmother sai^ * tfaat be bad sbown faia sense in selecting fop a wife a womau wfao could do something, ami not one of those dressed-up dolls who seem to think that tfae great object of life is to show themselves.* The moral of our story was thus expressed by Charley himself to ayoung friend; shortly after hia marriage, in a conversation on tbe subject of matrimony;— * Iu tfae first place, Tom, it Is idle for a man under fifty, wfao ia really a full developed man In all respects, to imagine tfaat fae Is proof against the abaft of Cupid. I tell you, my dear boy, a man may arm himself with as much philosophy and reason aa he pleases, and it won't avail him ; he must be an exception to the law of human nature, and greatly defec¬ tive in some way In head or heart if he does not fall in love at some time or other. Second¬ ly it is not good sense to mairy for personal' beiuty or grace alone, ijor merely for domestic- qualifications, but for both united; it takes botb together, with a good heart, to make a; perfect wife, one whom we can admire with ; our intellects, and love witfa our i^holo faeart, one for whom a man is willing to encounter nil hardships, to face any danger, to riae early and retire late, to labor, and if necessary, to die. And, finally, never flatter youraelf that you can marry any girl you choose if efae hap pens not to be wealthy or moving in bigfa life, or tbat all poor girls are willing to sell them selves to rich husbands; I tell yon it Is not so. I.NDiscRiMiNATE Alms-giving.—We faave spoken of the unfortunate encouragement to pauperism wfaich grows out of tfae relief given by societies and organisations. Another ag gravatlon of the evil—perhaps a greater—exists in tbe facility witfa which beggars by profession can procure alms of individuals for the asking. We know that it is ungracious to refuse a pit¬ tance of our abundance to a woe-begone object; and we know that the easiest way of an unfor¬ tunate case, is to give a trifle and be rid of It— for tbe present. Sut the relief obtained Is only momentary, while evil is perpetuated by the In¬ discreet readiness with which too many of our citizens encourage both mendacity and mendi¬ city by giving trifles to impostors. * Many a little makes a mickle,' is a wise proverb. He who asks for " afew pennies" a hundred times a day, and averages one penny from each appli¬ cation, does not a bad day's work. We know the charitable cbaraeter of our people, and far from abating It, would be glad to increase it. But as time ta counted money, we would have time giving to tbe poor, inatead of money, or with money. In other words, no oue should be regularly enrolled as a stated recipient of chari¬ ty, wboso case haa not been investigated by a competent person. There are many instances of distress which arise from tfae inveterate bad habita of one or both the beads of the bousefaold. While their families subsist oa alms, tbere are many worthless men who will not work when they have the opportunity, or if they average a daily sfallling or two for odd joba, devote what, ever tbey earn to drink, and subsist on what ia given to their families in charity. Now the wife and children of such a person should not starve. Neither should be. But be should be maintained at the publio expense under his true character, and the warrant for his admlsson to winter quarters should proceed from a commit- ; ting magistrate, and not for the cause of pover¬ ty, but for causing poverty. Habitual intem¬ perance should be punished, and tfae mildest from of punisfament is that whioh enables bim who will not support himself to Uto on prison fare. Aside from the action of aocleties, consolida¬ ted or distinct, it is in the power of the humane to do much real and permanent good by be¬ coming personally acquainted with the charac¬ ter and condition of the poor. Let each wfao would do serTice, without waiting for the action of associations, attend to this department of trae charity. The effect of such a course in benefitting the deserving, we bare heretofore shown. And on the other hand, no false deli¬ cacy should prevent the pnnishment of tbese who produce suffiering by their Vices, and who impoTerish thoae whom they should sastain.

A correspondent of the Philadel pfala Ameri¬ can derotes a long and interesting letter to the Iron Products exhibited at tbe Paria In¬ dustrial Exhibition. We make some extracts: An examination of the Locomotive Engines exhibited by continental builders su&oed to show that tfae latter are not only fully awar© of all those points that contribnte to economy of fuel, but tfaat tfaey faave also introduced into their engines many importaiit and Taluable modifications with regard to tbe arrangement of their working parts; while the few looomo- tiTes sent OTer from the United Kingdom show¬ ed no Improvement whatever in tfae arrange¬ ment of their parts, or in their capabilities, over the class of endues that have been built by the best British makers during the last ten years. In tfae latter, tfae centre of gravity ia im¬ properly high, and the-positioo of the working parts is moat inconvenient and objectionable from their non-visibility and dif&culty of access to tbo engineer. Tfae arrangement of tfae continental engines is new In many most Important respects. Tfae manner in wfaich the engine and tender are coupled together, or rather combined Into one, permits greater lengtb of boiler to be obtained, a better distribution of tfae weigfat upon the wheels is to be effected, the centre of gravity la to be placed lower, and the whole of the working parts to be visible and perfectly ac¬ cessible. The magnificent engines exhibited by the Belgian Society of John Cfrckerill &Co., of Serding, and by the Frenoh U^use of Schneider & Co., Creusot, (mentioned above) are of neai~ ly equal merit, and unqaestiooably oarry off the palm from their English competitors. Gouio & Co., of Paris, also exhibited two most remarkable locomotives, one of wfaicfa is an enormous express engine on six wfaeelsi with two pair of coupled driving wfaeela ten feet in diameter The point most worthy of notice in this engino is tbe manner to wfaich driving wheels of this diameter are applied' tfae difficulty witfa wheels of tfais size, of keep¬ ing tbe centre of gravity sufficiently low, hav¬ ing always been a stumbling block to English engineers. Gouin & Co., hove attained tfais object by separating tho bolter into parts pla¬ ced vertically one above tfae*)ther; the lower part forming the water chest, and the upper part the steam cheat, connected together by large vertical tubea. Tbe axles of tfae eoor-' mous driving wfaeelrof tfais engine pasa be¬ tween tfae water and steam cfaests, in tfae aper¬ tures between tfae vertical connecting tubes Vf tfae boiler. No detailed drawing, however, being exhibited, with tfais engine, it is impos¬ aible to say, from an external examination only, wfaetfaer a boiler of this construction wil^ generate steam with sufficient rapidity to sup¬ ply an engine of such unusual size, from which its constructors expeot to obtain a speed of one hundred and fifty miles an hour. The total weight of this engine, tfae largest yet con¬ structed, is stated to be 00,000 kilos, or about G2 tons. Butthe production of tools for engine and machine building is becoming au object of great atteation among the principal engineer¬ ing establishments, of all countries; a wider range than that hitherto taken in tfais depart¬ ment by Britisb makers being taken by tbose of France, Germany, tbe United States, and Canada, all of which countries exhibited tool machinery for tbe working and shaping not only of irou and other metals, but also of wood and stone. .Among tfae novelties in thia line exhibited hero, were some valuable macfaiuca in the French Department for sawing wood and atone^ in which the saw ia formed of tm, endless re¬ volving band of wire or b06^ sje^, serrated on one edge, according toHho nature of the mnie- rinl to be cut. Xhe great spee^ with which these endless bands revolve, causes tfae opera;- tiou of sawing to be effected mucfa moro rapidly and at mucfa lesa cost, than bythe old recipro- catiog motion by band labor. Tfae endless revolving wire of CfacvalHer'a saw ior cutting atone carries witfa it io its course tfae usual mixture of sand and water employed in this operation. Tfae endless re¬ volving band in the saw exhibited by Perin_ allowa of wood being cut to any required curve, for ship building and other purposes which cannot be effected by tbe old circular saw- Krupp, of Essen, in Westphalia, exhibited applications of cast-steel to such a variety o^ purposes, and on^a sculo of sucb magnitude, as no Engliab maker bas ever attempted. Ho displayed masses of cast-steel up te five tons in weight, with shafts and crank shafts for¬ ged from auch masses. His cast steel rolls would bo invaluable for laminating and plan* Isfaing the various metals employed In metal working trades, snch as form tbe staple indus¬ try of Birmingham. Tbose exhibited were 25 inches long by 10 inches in dlnmelcr ; but this maker is prepared to furniah rolls 42 inches long by 16 in diameter. A pair of cold rolls displayed by faim, are of a polish so brilliant tbat they seem, at first sigbt, to be made of glass. He had also some fine cast steel tires for locomotives, 6 feet in diameter by 1 iuch thick; thero is, of course, no weld in these tires. Inthis connection, two most curious objects, wbich profess to bave been cast in a aingle piece, and wbicb, if really produced in tfais manner, are so remarkable as to tfarow every otfaer costing into tfae sfaade, deserve to be meutioned. The first of theae, exhibited by Profeasor ClementI Papi, of Florence, and la¬ belled by its author as a ' Badinage sur I' Ar' gunda foundeur,* (which may be translated as a ' Playful illustration of tfae Founder's Art*) ia a small-leaved uloe, roots aud all, a mere tangle of long, straight, slender, tfaorny leaves, crossing one another at every possible angle; a moat perfect and wonderful,representation of tbe plant, no matter bo^r obtained, but wfaich if really produced, as tbe professor de¬ clares It to have been, at a single throw, over turns all one's ideas of possibilities In this line. Tfae aecond of these wonderful tbings, and quite aa thorny a puzzle as the j;!orentine aloe, is a small but exquisite bit of bronze, by Go- noB, of Paris, representing a bird's neat, built In the midst of low bushes, with a bird darting out of It to drive back a snake that is winding itself up tbe broken stump of a tree, to seize upon tfae nestliugs, wfalle a. weasel, who has evidently been prowling round tbe nest with felonious intentions, bas made common cause with tho bird, and is briatllng and showing its teeth at sight of the insidious intruder. The ground is covered witfa trailing Ivy wreaths, most gracefully wrought out, the delicate frin¬ ged stems often being in full relief, while tfae twigs and stems composing tfae nest are so perfectly imitated that ono would say it must have been built by the bird, and merely bron¬ zed by the human workman; and a fiy, stand¬ ing stupidly on tfae edge of tfae scene of battle, seems asthougfa it faad only to move its wings and fly away if it cfaose. The difficulty of making a mould tfaat should represent all these airy stems and leaves, these actors of various size and surface, all in one, ie pronounced by the most competont judges wlio examiued the piece, to be an utter and absohite Impossibility, and tfaey all began forthwith to look for the joins. Butthe closest examinr*tioa bas hitherto failed to detect the slightest s,ymp- toms of a break, and the thing remains a most curious and perplexing enigma. This piece was displayed at tbe former Pa fia Exhibition, tbe then Minister of tfae Intr.rior taking it under his protection, as tfae mo* at in¬ teresting sample pf casting extant; bp t ^^g. pite this authority, all who see it proQ ounce it to be a trick, until they are met by tb e impos- sibility of deteoting a join. Mevitinie M. GonoD, when interrogated on the su? jject, mer«^ Iy reiterates his aisertion that th.e piece wsw reaUy.proaaced at one throw, bv.t refuses to give tha ellghtefltiakKng ofthe process hy ^whiehso aeeminglyunpoMibleftr wplthaabaim sFisiTirAtisK nzzLDira om*. It Would seem that scarcely any ism of de¬ lusion, however preposterous, oan be advanced in these days, says the Journal of Commie, withont securing tbe belief of considerable numbers, including persons of acknowledged ability, prudence and sagacity. But they can¬ not long endure the serere scrutiny of religion and intelligence. Like icebergs in the blaring sun, tfaey must ere long waste away before; the all pervading light of trutfa. 'Spiritualism,' which is one of the most monstrous of these modern dogmas, already gives signs of ap¬ proaching atrophy and decay. The editor o' the New York Pathfinder, who represents him¬ self aa h&ving for months past been * at the head of the most extensive establishment iu existence for tfae investigation of the phenome¬ na, publishing one of tbe leading journals, devoted entirely to ihe cause, and employing about the premises no less tban eigbt mediums, . for public sittings, for investigation and inatruc- tions, and this establishment being carried. on at an expense of over two hundred dollars a week,' comes out in bold renunciation of the wbole craft. Still entertaining belief in tfae * undeniable evidences of tho existence of dis¬ embodied spirits,* these manifestations are regarded as Infiicting incalculable evil where- ever their Influence ia felt. The editor, Mr. John F. Whitney, saya:— 'Now, after a long and constant watchful¬ ness, seeing for months and years its progress and its practical workings upon its devotees, its believers, and its mediums, we are compel¬ led to speak our honeat conviotion, wfaich is that the manifestations coming through the acknowledged mediums, who aro designated as Rapping, Tipping, Writing, and Entranced Mediums, has faad a baneful Influence upon ita believers, and create discord aud confusion ; tfaat tfae generality of these teachings Inculcate false ideas, approve of selfish individual acts and endorse theories and principles wbicb, wben carried out, debase and make man but little better than the bruie creation. Tbese are among the fruits of modern Spiritualism, and wc do not hesitate to say, that we believe if tbese manifestations are continued tobe recei¬ ved, and to be as little understood ns they ore, and have been, since tbey first made their ap¬ pearance at Rochester, and mortals are to be deceived by their false, fascinating, and snake like charming powers wfaicfa go with them, tfae day will come wfaen the world will require tfae appearance of anotber Saviour to redeem tbe world by its departing from Cbrist'a warning to faia followers to beware of wolves in sbeep'a olothing, and to try what manner of spirita ye were of.' And again he says: ' Seeing, as we bave, the gradual progress It makea with its believers, particnlarly Ita me¬ diums, froin lives of morality to that of sensu¬ ality nnd immorality, gradually and cautiously undermining the foundation of good prIncipleF, we look back witfa amazement to tfae radical cfaanges wfaicfa a few montfas will bring about in individuals, for its tendencies are to approve and endorse eacb individual act and cfaaracter, however good or bad Ihose nets mny be.' The article from which these extracts are made, concludes as follows:— * We desire t., send forth our warning voice, and if our humble position, as tfae bead of a public Journal, our known advocacy of Spirit¬ ualism, our experience, and the conspicnoos part we have plnyed among its believers, the honesty and fearlessness witfa wfaicfa we have defended tfae subject, will woigfa anything in our favor, we desire that our opiulous mny be received, and thoae who nre moviug passively down therushing rnpids to destruction, should pause, ere it be too late, and save themselves from tfae blasting iufluence which tbese raoni- festationa are cHUs'ng ' Sucb developments and confessions from a source ao high in spiriiual bumbuggery, must tell disastroualy upou the ' establish me utsj' ' circles,' and other machinery employed iu oarryiug forward this destructive delusion. PACEilA IH SHALL PABCEL& The following anecdote of Mr. Webber, for¬ merly Freaident of Cambridge College, illus¬ trates the peculiarity of his mathematical \ ge¬ nius. When saHiDg one day witfa a party for pleasure, he accidently fell overboard. After linking pretty deep, he at length oame up, and, raising his haad above the surface of tfae water, he gravely observed. It is expected gen¬ tlemen, tfaat you will hand me a rope.* A Teiy worthy though not particnlarly eru¬ dite underwriter nt Lloyd's was conversing'one day with a friend in the Coffee-House on the Bubject of a ship ihey had mntnally insured. His friend obserTed, ' Do you know that I shrewdly suspect our ship is in jeopardy ?" ' Is she,' (replied he) 'well, lam glad that aho has got into aome pott at last. It is a blessed thing for a poor man to faave a contented wife; one wfao will not wisfa to lire io a style beyond her fausband's income, just because her next door neighbor does; one who can be bappy in tfae love of faer husband, her home, and Its beaatiful duties, without asking tfae world for its smiles or its favor.

'Forwhat?' inquired the latter ' To keep the ugliness out, for if it ever strikes in. It, will surely kill you.'

It deserves tbe more attention, coming as it does from tbe most fa¬ natical Pro-Slavery journal in the Union. It exhibits a "comparative view of tho popula¬ tion, land, capital, agriculturej and other pro¬ ductive industry of the United States." In It the South is represented by Alabama, Georgia and Soutb Carolina; tbe South and Southwest, by Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Virgin¬ ia ; tbe Nortb and Northwest by Indiana, Mich¬ igan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York and Penn¬ sylvania ; tfae Eastern part of tfae Confederacy by Connecticut, Massacfausetts and Vermont It appears from the table that "farms regular¬ ly diminish in size, taking the average of the different geographical sections of the table, as we proceed from the South to the North ;*' that the proportion of improved to unimproved land inoreaaea equally from South to North, and that irrespective of the density of popu¬ lation ; tfaat tfae casfa value of farms Increases from South to North, irrespective of the densi¬ ty of population ; that tfae production of Indi¬ an corn per acre increases regularly from Soutb to North and East; that the productive indus¬ try of tfae people of the United States, per capita, observes the same general law ; that density of population and the ratio of inorease are favorably influenced by facility in procu¬ ring subsistence, as in the farming States of the Northwest or the manufacturing ones of tfae East. Tfae average size of farma In tfae first section is four hundred and twenty-three aores ; in the last, one hundred and fourteen.

The former produce sixteen bushela of Indian com to the acre ; the latter thirty-four ; of wheat, tfae former produces six bushels, whilst tfae latter rewards tfae fauabandman with aliteen.— Tfae average production of eacfa individual in tfae first section is sixty-nine dollars and six cents ; in tfae last, ninety-four dollara and two cents.

Ona of tho most com mon errora of lu'iniHters of tlie goapel. is imlulging in ftmlt tindinf, eensorioua stj'Ie of iiddreas from lhe pulpit.— Tbey mny fiud many things going wrong in their churches, their members becoming; luke¬ warm and worldly-minded, indulging lu priic- tisea iooonsistent with their profession, nnd that hinder the cftuse of Christ, and they rail out against them from Sabbath to Sabbath, and wonder that their tirades do not check these evils, tbat they continue just as bad, or even become worse than they were before.— Tbey feel that ministerial faithfulness requir¬ ed tbat they should bear testimony againat tbe Bins of their fluok, and endeaver tu induce them to fore?ake them ; and ao it does, but they mistake the best method of doing it. Churchea are, in thia matter vory much Hke families.—¦ They may bo governed aud moulded by kind¬ ness and affection, but not by scolding and fault-finding. When affection is at the helra of a family, and beams out io every look and action of its head, when sorrow, r.ither than anger, is depicted in tbe countenance when auy of its membera do wrong, the family can be vory easily corrected, in all ordinary cases. Bnt when petulance and railing follow each otber io quick sucessiou, and the members come to feel tbat they will be bcolded and harshly found fault with for every little error tboy may fall into, all family government sooD comes to an end. Thc head of the fami¬ ly losea all power to mould it. Juat ao it is with the churchea. They ma}' be persuaded, encouraged, and reasoned into almost anything that ia proper, but they can be scolded aod driven into nothing. Said tbe aweet tempered Chriatian poet Cowper, in a letter to the Rev. John Newton. ' No man waa ever scolded out of hia sins.— The heart, corrupt aa it is, and becauae it is BO, grows angry if it be not treated wilh eome managemoDt and good manners, and acolda again. A aurly maatiff will bear perhaps to be poked, though he 17111 growl even under the operation ; but if you touch him roughly he will bite. There is ao grace that tlie apirit of self can couuterfeit 'with more success than a religious zeal. A mnn thinks that he is skll¬ fally searching tbe h'earta of othera, when be la only gratifying tfc.a malignity of his own, unci charitably eupprises that bia hearers are destitute of nil grivce, tbat he may shine tbe more in hia own eiyea by comparison. When he has performed tbis notable task, ho wonders that they are not converted. He haa given it to them scuudly, aod if tbey do not tremble and confesB- that God is in them in truth, he givea them up as reprobate. Incorrigible,, nnd lost for ever.' ' But a mac. that luvea va9, if be hcvb me in error, he wil) pity me, aod endeaver yalmly to convince me of it, and persuade me io foreake it. If he 'uaa great and good news lo tell me, hewill aot do it angrily and iu much heat and discom^osuro ot apirit. It ia uot, therefore, easy to conceive ou what grouud u minister canjus tiy conduct which only proves that he dooa Fiot understand bia errand. Tbo Uilhsurdity of it would certainly strike him, if h& were not himaelf deluded.' ^hese are tbe -words of truth and -BoberntJisa, and they tshould be deeply ponderevl by thotje who undertake great reforms of atiy kind.— Sharp reboko ia ar^metimea necessary uud use¬ ful, but all othov moans abouid bo tried before it is if£sorted to.

E Bradbury, Esq., editor of the Musical Gazette and Re¬ view, of New Vork, reoently lost a little daugh¬ ter about five years of age. In announcing ber deatb, he uses tho following touchlog language: Kittle is goua. Where *? To heaven. An angel oamo and took her away. Sbe was a lovely child—gentle as a little lamb ; the pet Of the whole famUy; the youngest of tbem all. But she oonld not stay with us any longer. She had an angel sister in heaven who was waiting for ber. The angel sister was with us only a few months but sho baa been io beaven many years, and she muat have loved Kittle, for every¬ body loved her. Tbe loveliest flowers ore often soonest plucked. If a little voice sweeter and more m^isical than others was heard, I knew Kittie -was ne.ar. If my study door waa opened ao gently and slily t! at no sound could be heard, I knorw Kittie wnd *,i,ii.ii g. If after an boui'B quiet play, a little shadow passed me, and the door opened and abut as no one else could open anJ shut it. *so aa nut to disturb papa,' 1 knew Khtie was going. When, in the midst of rny Qfjmpoaing, I beard a gentle voice aaying : 'Pa¬ pa may I atay with you a little while ? 1 will be very still,' I tlid not need to look olf niy work, to aaaore me that it waa my little lamb. You staid with me too loug, Kittie dear, lo leave me ao suddeoly ; und you are luu slitl DOW. You became my littlo aaslstaot—my home angel—my youngest aud sweebcHt aioging bird, and I miss the little voice that I have so often heard in the adjoining room, catching up and echoing littlo snatchea of melody ati tbey were being composed. 1 miss tbose soft and aweet kisses. I miss the little hand that was always firat to be placed upou my forehead, to 'drive away the piio.' I miss the aound of those lit¬ tte feet upou the stairs. 1 mias thelittle koucU at my bod^room door in the moruiug, ami the triple good-night kiss in thc evening 1 misa the sweet smiles from tbo sunnie.Ht of faces. I miss—oh 1 how I miss tbe foremost iu the liltle group who came out to meet me at the gate for the first kiss. I do iy)t stoop ao low uow. Kit¬ tle, to give tbat first kiss. I miss you ut the table, and at family worship. I mlasyour voice in *I want to be an angel,' for nobody could slog it like you. I miss you in my rldea and walks. I miss you in the garden. I m'ns you everywhere ; but I will try not to miaa you in Heaven. 'Papa, if we are good, will an aogel truly como and take us to Heaven wbeu ne die V When the question vas aaked, how lit¬ tle did. I think the angel was so near! But he did Hruly* come, and the sweet flower is trans¬ planted to a more genial olime. 'I do wish papa wonld oome home.* Wut a Uttle while, Eittie, and papa vill come.
