iS^OMBIG DEEAM.
The dro&m of tiie nigbt, theie'i no reiuon to lue, Bnt the dream of the morning Ib snre to com. troe. Old Satwo.
Pretty Peggy May; a briglit-eyeS, merry- hearted, little darling yon are, Peggy! there's no gainsaying that fact; a conning little gip¬ sy, and most destrnctive too, as many an aching heart can testify. Bat who can blame thee for that f as •weU might the summer's snn be blamed for warming the sweet flowers into life. It is a natural ordination that all who see you shonld love yon.
Pretty Peg has jnst completed ber eigh¬ teenth year; in the heedless gaiety of youth, she has hitherto gambolled through the road of life, without a grief, almost without a thonght. Oh I for tbe sunny days of child¬ hood, ere, wedded to experience, the soul brings forth its progeny of cares. Why can we not add tbe knowledge of our wiser years, and linger over that most blessed, least pri¬ zed period of our existence, when every im¬ pulse is at once obeyed, and the ingenuous soul beams forth in smiles, its every working indexed in the face—ere Prudence starts up like a spectre and cries out: "Bew.are I tbere is a prying world that watches every tum, and does not always make a true report."— Prudence! how I hate tbe cold, calculating, heartless phraise. Be loyal in word, be just in act, be honest iu .ill; but Prudence ! 'tis twin brother to Selfishness, spouse of Mis¬ trust, and parent of Hypocrisy ! But me¬ thinks I hear some one say, "This is a most cavalierly way of treating one of the cardi¬ nal virtues"—to which I reply, " It certaiuly has, by some meana or another, sneaked in amongst the virtues, and thereby establish' ed a right to tbe position ; but it is the com¬ panionship only which makes it respectable, and it must be accomp.inied by alt thc rpst to neutralize its mischievous tendency."
But what has all this to do with Peggy and her dreams ? Pshaw I don't be impatient— we are coming to that. If you have taken the slightest interest in little Peg, prepare to symp-itbize in her first heart-deep sorrow.— She is in love I Now, if she herself were questioned about the matter, I'm pretty sure she would say it's no such tiling ; but I take npon myself to declare it to be true, and for fear you should think that I make an asser¬ tion whicb I cannot substantiate, permit me to rebate the substance of a conversation which took place between Peg and lier scarce¬ ly less pretty, but infinitely mischievous cousin, Bridget O'Connor. They had just returned from one of those gregarious merry- meetings, whero some spacious grauary, just emptied of its contents, gives glorious oppor¬ tunity for the gladsome hearts of the village, and "all the country round" to meet nnd as¬ tonish the rats—sleek, well-fed rascals, do¬ zing in their boles—with uproarious fun and revelry.
A sudden, and indeed, under tbe circum¬ stances, extremely siguifloaut sigh from Peg, startled Bridget from tho little glass where ahe was speculating as to how she looked, for tho last hour or two. I may as well say the scrutiny was perfectly satisfactory—she had not danced all her curls out,
"Gracious mo!" she exclaimed, "Peg, how you do sigh!"
" And no wonder," rejoined Peggy, with a shght squeeze of acid, "after having danced down twenty couple twenty times, 1 should like to know who would'nt ?" j
"Ah 1 hut that wasn't a tired sigh. Peg. I j know the difference ; one needn't dive as low as the heart for them; a tired aigh comes fly¬ ing out upon a breath of joy, and turns into a langh before it leaves the lips ; you are sad. Peg!"
"How you talk; why, what on earth should make me sad ?"
" That's exactly what I want to know ; now there's no uae in your trying to laugh, for you oan't do it. Do you think I don't know the difference betweeualaugh and that nasty deceitful croak V
"Bridget!" exclaimed Peg, with a look which she intended should be very severe and very reproachful, "I'm sleepy."
" Well, then, kiss me, and go lo bed," re¬ plied Bridget. "Ho! ho!" thought she, "there's something curious about Peg to¬ night. I think what I think, and if I think right, I'm no woman if I don't find out hefore I flleep." Craftily she ohanged the conversa¬ tion, abused the women's dresses, and criti¬ cised their complexions, especially the pretty ones. At last wben she had completely lul¬ led the commotion ot Peg's thoaghts into a calm, she suddenly oried out: "Oh ! Peg, I forgot to tell you, that one of the boys we danced with had his leg broke cominc home to-night !"
Peggy, surprised into an emotion she/ound it impossible to conceal, started up, pale as snow, and gasped out: " Who was it—wbo ?" Ua! ha! thought the other, the  fox is lomewhere ahout—now to beat the cover,
" Did you hear mo ask you who ?" said Peg, anxiously.
" I did hear,",'repliedBridget, "buti'm try¬ ing to recollect. I think," aaid she, and she looked steadily into Peggy's eye.«, "I think it was Ned Eiley."   Peg didn' oven wink.
She doesn't care about him, and I'm uot sorry for that, thought Bridget, thereby ma¬ king an acknowledgement to herself, which the sagacious reader will no doubt interpret truly.
" No, it wasn't Ned," she continued, "now I think of it, it was—it was—a''—
"Who?" who?" cried Peg, now sensibly agitated, "do tell me, tliere's a dear."
Not she, not a bit of it, but lingered witb feminine ingenuity, now making as though Bhe recollected the name, and then with a shake of her head, pretending to dive back into memory, jnst as the inquisitors of old tised to Blacken the torture, to enable tlie re- oipient to enjoy another dose.
" Now 1 have it," said she, "no, 1 liaven't; I do believe I've forgotten wbo  it  was, bnt thia I know, it wasthepleasantest-mannered and nicest young fellow in tbe whole heap." " Then it -must have been Mark !" exclaim¬ ed Peg, throwing prudence overboard, and fixing her large, eloquent eyes full ;on Bridg¬ et's mouth, as if her everlasting fate depen* ded upon the little monosyllable about to is¬ sue from it. " It icas Mark! tbat was tbe name !" " Peggy gave a gasp, while Bridget went on, with a triumphaut twiukle in her wicked lit¬ tlo eye which did not show over-favorably for her humanity.
" Mark Brady!" dwelling on the name with alow, distinct emphasis, which made Peggy's heart jump at each word as though she had received an electric shock.
She knew the tendcrest part of the .senti¬ ent anatomy, Bridget did, and took delight in stabbing exactly there ; not moral stabs, (Aot would be mercy, but just a little too deep for tickling. That sort of a woman was Bridget, who, if possessed of an incumbrance in husband shape, would take infinite pains to discover the weakest points iu his temper, and industriously attack those quarters, pi¬ ling np petty provocations, one npon anoth¬ er ; none m themselvea of anffloient impor¬ tance to hiduoe a saUy, but making altogeth¬ er a breastwork of aggravation, that must at laat o'ertop the waU of temper. And if tho ^ unfortunate besieged don't take his hat, and make a not very honorable retreat, philoso¬ phy will be obliged to strike its flag, the sig¬ ns! for a civU war, which, like all such un¬ natural confliota, strikes at the root of aU domesUo comfort, and whichever side may re¬ main the 7lotor», the trophy is a home de- •trpjrei.^ .
But to return to Peg, for whose benefit I have indulged in the foregoing rather spite ful digression, in order, I should say, to be thoroughly conscious of the extent of her nnhapplness. Remember, 'tis her flrst grief, BO pardon its intensity. Phantoms ot crutch¬ es and wooden legs came crowding on her im¬ agination, contrasting themselves with the curious agility with wbioh poor Mark had "6ea< the fioor" iu the merry jig, until he made it echo to every note of the pipes.— Then rose up vague spectres of sanguinary- minded surgeons, with strange butcherly in¬ struments ; then she saw nothing but frag¬ mentary Marks, unattached legs, a whole room-full dancing by themselves ; there they were, twisting and twirling about, in tbe va¬ rious difficult complications of the "toe and heel," "double shuflle," "ladies' delight," and "cover the buckle ;" she shut her eyes in horror, and was sensible of nothing hut a gloomy blood-red. There's no knowing to what lengths her terrible fancies might have gone, had tbey nol been dispersed like wreaths of vapor by a hearty laugh from the misohievous Bridget. Peggy opened her eyes in stonishmeiit, Wa-s she awake? Yes, there was her cousiu enjoying one of the broadest, merriest, wickedest laughs that ever mantled over the face of an arch little female,
"Poor Mark!" .she cried, and then burst forth agaiu into ringing laughter, whioh dim¬ pled her crimson cheeks like—what shall I s,iy?—like a flne he.iltby-looking cork-red potatoe, ,an Irish simile, I must say ; but bad you seen Bridget, and were acquainted with the features of tbo aforesaid esculent, I'm pretty certaiu you would acknowledge its aptness.
"What iu the uame of gracious are you laughing at?" exclaimed Peggy, a gleam of hope bre.iking ou tlie darkness of ber thought.
" Wby, that you should take ou so, when I told you Mark had broken his leg," gaily replied Bridget. "Uasu't he?"
"Not half as much as your poor little heart would have been broken if be had," said the tormentor.
" Bridget! Cousin !" said poor Peg, now enduring niucli more pain from the sudden revulsiou of feeliug, "you should not bave done this ; you have crowded a whole life¬ time of agony in these few moments past." " Well, forgive me, dear Peggy. I declare 1 didn't know that you bad the aflectiou so strong on you, or I wouldn't have joked for the world. Bui now, confess, doesn't it serve you right, for uot confiding in me, your nat¬ ural born oousiu ? Did I over keep a secret from you? Didn't 1 tell you all ahcut Pat Kinch, and Johnny Magee, and ,Tack, the hurl- er, ell ?"
"But not one word abont Edward Riley, with whom you danced so often to-night," observed Pei;, with a very pardon.able dash of in.tlice.
It was now Bridget's turn to change color, as she stammered out, "I—I was going to, not that I care much about him ; no, no, Mark is the flower of the flock, and I've a mighty great mind to set my cap for him my¬ self."
Peggy smiled, a very small, hut a peculiar, and it might have been, perfectly self-satisfied smile, as she replied; "Try, Miss Bridget, and I wish you success."
"Truth is scarce when liars are near," said Bridget, "But I say, Peg, does Mark know you love him so hard ?"
"Don't be fooHsh ; how should he?" "Did you never tell him ?" "What do you t.ike me for ?" " Did he never tell you f" "What do you take him for?',' " Fora man, and moreover a conceited one; dou't you mean to let him know his good for¬ tune ?"
" It isn't leap year, and if it was, I'd rath¬ er die than do such a thing!" said Peggy.
" Come, I'll bet you a new cap, that I mean to wear at your wedding, you will let him know the state of yonr feelings, and that, before a week is over your he.ad," provoking- ly rephed Bridget.
Peggy, said nothing.    Prudent Peg. " Is it a bet ?"
" Yes, yes, anything, but go to sleep, or we shan't gel a wink to-night."
" True for you, cousin, for it's iQ--morrow already ! Look al the daybreak how it has frightened our candle, until it's almoat aa pale as your cheek."
" Good night, Bridget." " Good night, dear Peg, don't forgot to re¬ member your dreams.  Recolleot it's moming, now, aud whatever we dream, is sure tn come true.'^
Before she slept, Bridget formed a project in her miud to ensure the winning of her bet. What it was, it will be time enough to find out by-aud-by.
PLOTTGHIKG BY STEAM,

Very early iu the day, iMark Brady and Ned called to inquire after the health of their reapective partners. It so happened that Bridget received them ; and very quickly, for : she was one of those tyrants in love who make their captives feel their chains, ou some frivolous pretence or another, dismissed her awain and hegau to develop her plot with Mark.
Now, Mark, I may aa well tell yon now as at any other time, was a very favorable spe¬ cimen of a class I regret to say, not over nu¬ merous in Ireland ; a well to-do farmer, his rent always ready, his crops carefully gath¬ ered, and a trifle put by yearly, so that he enjoyed that most enviable condition in life, " a modest competence." As to his personal appearance, there's scarcely any occasion to describe that, for, with the exception of one individual, I don't suppose he has a feature or characteristic which wonld be conaidered hy any one at all uncommon or interesting. Suffice it to say, Mark was a man/ A volume of eulogy could not say more.
And, moreover, Mark did love pretty Peggy May ; with a whole-hearted, manly, and un¬ selfish love, he loved her. I tell you this, dear reader, in order that you may not waste time in spaculaling on the subject of Mark's i thoughts, as he sat silent and fidgety, a pas¬ sive victim to the mischievous Bridget, who, slirewd little pusB, knew every turn of his mind as though imprinted on liis face ; and for the matter of that, so they were, in na¬ ture's own characters, type most readable.
Mark was apparently very busy, sketching imaginary somethings on the floor with his blackthorn stick, ands«6mingly unconscious of Bridget's presence, wheu she suddenly in¬ terrupted his rovery by saying:
" A penny for your thoughts, Mr. Brady !'' '¦ Eh ! what'." he replied, blushing 'till it fairly stung his cheek liko a million of nee¬ dles—" A penny, is it, Mies ?  faith, an* it's dear they'd be at that same."
" And what might you he thinking of, may I ask, Mr. Mark ?" said Bridget, accompany¬ ing the question with one of Iier very sweet" ost smiles. "Juat nothing at all. Miss," replied Mark. " * Nothing !' then they would ba ' rfear,' and that't true, Mark; but supposing now," ahe continued, archly; " I only say, suppo¬ sing it happened to be your sweetheart you wera thinking of, you might find another meaning for that same little word!"
Mark felt as though he had been detected in some fault, as he repliei, sketching away on the floor faster than ever, " But what if I hadn't a sweetheart to think of, Miaa O'Con¬ nor." It was a miserable attempt at prevari¬ cation, and he felt that it was.
"Why, then, I should say, aa you're n-u blind, it's mighty lucky that you don't carry such a thing ai a heart about you. I'd be aahamed if I were you, rising twanty years old, and neither crooked nor ugly; its dis. gracBful to hear you say so—a pretty exam¬ ple to aet to the boy* I"
your lazy tongue."
" Love,'' interrupted Mark, endeavoring to put in a demurrer.
*' To be aure," aaid she, " I saw it, I knew it very well;" she continusd, seeing he waa about to speak. " When do you mean to talk to Aunty ? You know my fifty pounda are in her hands." She was an heiress, waa Bridget.
" Pounds ! Aunty! yes, to be sure," replied Mark, perfectly bewildered, "but I thought Ned Riley' was"—
^v " PeggVsBWfflBtheart—well, we all know that," interrupted Bridget, inly enjoying the consternation that painted Mark's, cheek, a livid white. "Aud you to be so jealous o' Riley," ahe went on, "not to dance with me last night; I kuew the reason, but the jeal¬ ousy that springs from love is soon forgot, so I forgot youra."
"Peggy! his sweetheart? Riley's?" " To be sure,  don't you   know they are going to be married ?"
"No !" vacantly replied the sorely bewil¬ dered aCark.
" Oh, yea ! and uow I want to tell you a pet plan of mine, if you don't think me too bold, Mark, aud that is, how nice and cosy it would be, if wo could only all be married on the same day."
This was too much for Mark ; he couldn't endure it auy longer ; he started up, pushed hia hat very far on his head, saying, iu what ho intended to be a most severe tone :
" Miss O'Conner, I don't kuow what conld have put auch auidea into your head. Marry, iudeed ! I've enough to do to take care of myself. No, I'm soiry to wouud your feel¬ ings, but I shall never marry !"
"Oh ! yea, yon will," said Bridget, placing her arm in his, whioh he disengaged, saying bitterly :
"Never! never !"
•' Nonsense, I'll bet you will, and, if it was only to humor me, Mark, on the very samo day that Peggy is !"
"Bridget, I didn't think I eould hate a woman as I'm beginning to hate you."
" Better before marriage than after, Mr. Mark. Come, I'll bet you a new Sunday coat, against a calico gown, and that's long odds in your favor, that what I've aaid will come true." " Nonsense I" " Is it a bet ?"
"Pooh ! I'll bet my lifo, against—" " Wliat it's worth, Mr. Mark—just nothiug at all."
" True for you, now, Bridget: true for you," and Mark suddenly quitted the house iu such real sorrow that it touched for a mo¬ ment even Bridget's heart; but only for a moment. Pshaw! thought she, let him fret; it will do him good, and make the joy great¬ er when he comea to know the truth. A hunt would be nothing without hedges and ditches. Proceeding to the window, she uttered an exclamation of surprise.
" Ha! as I hve, here comes Peg herself.— She must meet Mark ; what fun! He sees her and stops short; what a quandary he's iu. She sees him I How the little fool blushes; uow they meet. Mark doesn't take hor hand. I wonder what he's saying. 'It's a fine day,'I suppose, or something equally interesting, he passes on, and Tag looks as scared as if she had seen a ghost."
A sudden thought at this moment seemed to strike Bridget; she clapped her hands together and laughed a little, sharp laugh, saying, " I'll do it, I will; I'll have a bit of fun with Peg, too," ao ahe pretended to be Tery busy at her spinning-wheel as Peggy entered, and hanging up her cloak and bon¬ net, sat down without saying a word.
" Ah ! Peg," Bridget began, " is that you ? Mark haa juat been here."
" Indeed ?" replied Peggy, twisting up one pretty curl so tightly as to hurt her head.
" The blessed truth," continued the wicked little tormentor.    " Did you meat him ?"
A very desponding "yes,'" was tho re¬ sponse.
"Well,"   demanded    Bridget,   anxiously, did he say anything—I  mean,   anything particular ?"
" He only said the weather was pleasaut, and theu passed on, without even shaking hands with me, sadly replied Peggy.
" Mard needn't have done that; whatever happens, he ought to be civil to you," said Bridget, with a peculiar expression that made I'tiggy's heart flutter withiu her like a pigeon. "Civil to me! what do you mean, Brid¬ get?"
Bridget hummed an air, and, as if sudden¬ ly wishing to change the conveniBtion, said, gaily:
" Oh! I forget, we were to tell each other's dreams this morning. Peg, you begin, what did you dream about ?"'
" Nothing, Bridget, I didn't sleep." " Then you couldn't have dreamed," sagely responded the other, " but I did.^' "What?"
" I dreamed that I had a beautiful new gown given to me, and by whom do yon think ?"
"I don't know; Ned Riley, may-be." " Ned Riley, indeed," replied Bridget  with a sneer; "not a bit of it.     By a  finer man than   ever stood iu   liJs  shoes.    Who but Mark Brady?" Peg's heart sank within her. " This wasn't all I dreamed," and she fixed her wild eyes fnll on Peg, in a way that made hers fall instantly, " i dreamed   that I was married to him."
"To Mark?" whispered Peggy. ''ToMarkV
Peggy didn't utter another syllable ; didn't even look up, hut sal motionless and pale, very pale. Bridget couldn't understand her seeming apathy; a more acute observer would have but contrasted it with the in¬ tense emotion which ahe felt within—an emotion not a whit lessened as Bridget con. tinued, with marked expression:
" I dreamed all that this blessed moming, and moruing dreams you know, always come true."
Peggy, still silent, seemed to be wholly oc¬ cupied in demolishing, piece by piece, the remnant of a faded flower whicii she had taken from her bosom, lingering over its de¬ struction as though a portion of her heart went with each fragment—when Bridget suddenly started up, exclaiming, " Here comea Mark, I declare."
A painful spasm shot through Peggy'a frame, yet ahe did not stir from her seat; the only evidence that she heard Bridget's ex- olamation was that her lips grew aa pallid aa her oheek.
"Bu», law, what am I thinking about r I muat go and tidy my hair."
And away flew Bridget up  to her room,
from whence ahe crept stealthily down,   and
: snugly ensconced herself behind the door.
I Naughty girl ? to listen to  what  transpired.
Mark, who, since his oonveraation with
murmuring softly, as though it were but a thought to which she had giveu involuntary expression—
"May you be happy, Mark! May you bo happy!"
"Happy!" echoed Mark, with a sharp em¬ phasis, tbat thrilled painfully through Peg¬ gy. " Faith, it's well for you to bo wishing me happiness."
"Indeed, indeed I do Mark—I mean Mr, Brady," meekly replied the poor girl.
"Oh, that's  right!" said Mark,  bitterly. « Mr. Brady!    It used to be Mark." "But never cau again." "You're right! never!" "Never!" and poor Peggy sighed deeply. After another embarrassing pause, broken only by a sort of smothered sound, whioh might have been the wind, but wasn't, Mark started up, exclaiming:
"I aee my company is displeasing to you, but I shan't trouble you long. That will be done to-morrow which will separate ua for ever."
"To-morrow! so soou?" replied Peggy, with a stifled sob.
" Yes 1 the sooner the better. What is it now to you ?
" Oh, nothing, nothing! But I thought— that is—I'm very, yery foolish."
Poor Peggy's heart overflowed its bounds; burying her face iu her hands, she burst iu¬ to tears-
Mark didn't know what to make of it. She must have liked me a littlo, thought he, or ¦why this grief? Well, it's all my own fault. Why didn't I tell her of my love, like a man ? and not sneak ahout, afraid of the sound of my own voice. I've lost her, lost the only thing that made life to me worth enduring, and the sooner I relieve her of mj presence the better."
" Miaa May I Peggy!" he said, with an ef¬ fort at calmness, " this ia tlie last time we" may meet ou earth; won't you give me your hand at parting?"
Peggy stretched out both hauda, exclaim¬ ing through her tears—"Mark! Mark! this is indeed cruel!"
" It is, I know it is !" said Mark, brushing away an obtrusive tear. "So, God bless you, and good angels watch over you; aud if you ever cared for me"—
" If I ever cared for you ! oh, Mark !" " Why ! did you ?" inquired Mark. "You were ray only thought, my life, my happiness!" There was the same curious sound from the chamber door, but the inno¬ cent wind had again to hear the blame.— Peggy continued—"Mark, would that you had the aame feeling for me !"
"I had! I liad I" frantically he replied. " And more, oh! mucli more than I have worda to speak. Why didn't we know this 'sooner?"
'¦ Ah ! why, indeed?" sadly replied Peggy, "hut it is too late." " Too late!" replied Mark "too late!" "Not a bit of it!" exclaimed Bridget, burst- into the room, streaming with tears of sup¬ pressed laughter. " Don't look ao fright¬ ened, good people; I'm uot a ghost. Who lost a new cap ? eh. Peg. And more, beto¬ ken, who is likely to loae a new gown ? I'll have my bets, if I die for it. So, you've spo¬ ken out at last, have you ? You're a pretty pair of lovers. You'd liave gone on everlast¬ ingly, sighing and fretting yourselve.=i, until there wouldn't have been enough between you to make a decent fidJle-string, if I liadn't interferad."
" You ?" cried Peggy aud Mark, simultane¬ ously.
" Yes indeed, it made me pertectly crazy to see tho two of you groaning and fussing, without tlie courage to say what your hearts dictated. There, go and kiss oach other, you pair of noodles."
It ia hardly necessary to aay that Bridget's explanation brought about a pleasant under¬ standing between all parties, and it will be ouly needful to add that a few weeks after¬ wards there was a double wedding at the litr tie parish chapel. One of the brides wore a bran new calico gown of such wonderful va¬ riaty of color, and moreover a new cap of so elaborate a style of decoration, that she was the admiration and, of necessity, the envy of the entire female population.
Bridget had wou hoth her wagera, thereby establishing, just as infallibly as all auch matters can be establiahed, the truth of the old saying :

common portable eight horse boiler, and a fly wheel, mounted on four carriage wheels. ; The wheels are fitted with the "endleaa rail- i way," enabling them to traverse over any j surface however rugged, to climb acolivltiea, i and to drag behind them an immense weight without losing their bite of tUe ground.— The engine usually worka with 60 lb. pres- I sure per aquare inch, and can he worked up to 12 horae power. - Its weight, with water and every requisite for duty, ia nine tons ; but, nevertheless, it oan ascend inclines, back, turn in a small area, and is steered by a pole, chains, and wheel like those of a Bteamboat, with the greatest nioety. The inventor considers his engine sufficiently powerful to draw, say 10 ploughs ,in light land, at six inchea depth, with a speed of two milea per hour. It has dragged some implements of very heavy draught during the trials, and was not unable to pull forward Coleman's ploughing machine. In an at¬ tempt with the dyuameter attached to Bid- dell's cultivator, the instrument broke at 40 cwt. the draught of the cultivator as uaed being much greater atill. In ploughing hill- aides the engine is inteuded to go up hill empty, and, in work downwards, ao as toper- form very steep work indeed Oue of the principal advantagea of this locomotive for culture is that no horses whatever are need¬ ed to help it, inasmuch as It travels of it¬ self from place to place, taking coal and wa¬ ter, and costing nothing beyond the wages of two men, in addition to those with the implements, the wear and tear, and interest of first cost, ahout £550
Mr. Smith, of Woolaton, Buckinghamahire, works hia implements by means of a com¬ mon aeveu-horse portable engine and a sta¬ tionary windlass, fixed at one comer of a field. A couple of ^ inch wire ropea are led from the two drums on the windlass in op¬ posite directions round four anchored pul¬ leys, and meet at the implement, thua pas¬ sing all around the field—two anchors being fixed and two shifted from time to time along each headland as the ploughing proceeds.— The anchors are like large four-toothed rakes, and it requires a mau at each end of the work to dig holes and shift them forward.— Mr- Smith uses cultivators of a peculiar kind, taking about three feet breadth at a time; and he has an ingenious and quick mode of turning them at tho end of the fur¬ row- He is able to scarify or baulk-plough on an average four aores per day of twelve hours. The expenses, including the labor of six men, coal, fetching water, wear and tear (say la. 6d. per acre and interest of capital, amount to 8a. per acre.
Mr. Fowler has contrived a different ar¬ rangement. A portable double-cylinder en¬ gine, worked at high pressure, and driving a capstan by a short endless chain, is stationed half-way down one aide of the field. From the two horizontal drums of the capstan two wire ropes are led diagonally acrois the field direct to the two ends of the work, there passing around a couple of anchored pulleys and meeting at the implement. The anchor- agea desvere notice ; they consist simply of low trucks or small wagons laden with earth and sharp cutting disca for wheela, which cut down into the land, and, while present¬ ing great resistance to sideland pressure iu the direction of the ploughing, cau be easily pulled forward aloug the headland when re¬ quired.
For common ploughing an implement is uaed having eight plougha fixed upou It; four in work at once, aud the others pointed in the opposite direction for performing the return trip. For trench-ploughing 10 or 14 inches deep, another implement is uaed, tak¬ ing two furrowa' width and two deep, being' in fact, a modification of Cotgreave'a subsoil and trench-plough for horse-power. The ploughing is one-way work, but landa or atetches cau be readily ploughed by simply turning the implement eud for end for each half-land, and by shifting the anchorages accordingly. The work of common plough¬ ing was exceedingly well done, and the trenching implement was drawn with great steadiness in ground through whioh 10 horses were required to pull it. The amount of ploughing on land where three horsea are commonly yoked in a plough capable of be¬ ing done by a lO-horae engine ia abont eight acres per day of 10 hours ; and the expense of working, including four men and a hoy, fetching water and coal, shifting- the engine and tackles to tho field, wear aud tear, aud interest of first ooat (which is £495, including the engine) is apparently not more than ua. or 5s. 6d. per acre. Trenching costs about double this sum. Should further experi¬ ments and calculations prove this estimate to be correct, there can no longer be a doubt that " an economical substitute" has at last been perfected for the long venerated horse-plough.

Imi'koved Bbkeds oi- Poultry.—In a report on the poultry show at tho late Agricultural Exhibition at Cheltenham, the Dorking and Cochin ola3S6:i are described as of unusual excelleucc. Those are described aa the claa- aea which specially deaerve encouragement, for the foilowiug reasons, which we copy for the information of such of our farmers as may not bu already instructed on the sub¬ ject :—
The great object of the poultry keeper and the poultry consuming public ia to obtain good birds fit for table early iu the aeaaou.— Now, Cochina lay through winter, Dorkings not till spring. Keep both sorts; aud the one will provide you, first, with eggs for win¬ ter consumption, aud then with brood hens ready to git ou the very first egga that the others lay, so that from these, the best breed in the world for the table, you will procure birds of the y&ry best qnality flt for the table at the very earliest period.
Wealth, beauty and youthfulness, all these had Eleanor Leigh ; yet ahe was not happy. Witty, graceful, sparkling aud entertaining, her company was everywhere sought; and still there was in her heart au unsatisfied longing, a vague desire for something unde¬ fined. She was sick of the hollow show aud glitter of fashionable society, and ahe longed for some one in whom to confide, some one true friend, and, as well, a reprieve from the meaningless conventionalists of the aristo¬ cratic circle in which she moved.
But her desire was not likely to be grati¬ fied. Living, as she was, in a fashionable part of the city, mingling in faahionable so¬ ciety, and exchanging fashionable courteaies, there waa no near prospect of the much de¬ sired reprieve.
Her father was a Wall Street broker— very inflnential on " Change," and greatly did he love his motherless child. Neither money nor pains were spared to fulfil her wishes, in the way of dress, amusement or fashion. And in this way did Mr. Leigh manifest his love for his only child.
But let us describe our heroine before go¬ ing farther. Heroines are proverbially hand¬ some, bnt ours was in reality. For she was of medium height, with dark chesnut hair, hazel eyes, and a fair, white akiu. Her fea-1 tures were fair and delicately chiselled, and ¦ her voice low and exquisitely modulated; this was her chief attraction.
One day Eleanor found herself alono; the servants being busy at their several avoca¬ tions, and the hour for calls having expired. She wandered slowly through the princely apartments, her face sad with deep emotion, and her heart full of bitter sorrow.
" Oh! to what goodly pnrpose is the life I lead ?" she questioned. " This endless suc¬ cession of balls, parties aud opera going ?— O! to loAu/purpoae ? whom dol henefit by it ? who ia the better oft" for it ? Alas ! uo one—no, none, not even myaelf."
The tears started to her eyes, and sinking
iuto a luxurious fauteuil, she bowed her head
and wept..   Soon.a light step resounded on
the mossy Axminater carpet, uid looking np,
t she saw. hat dreuinr maid, Mirtiette.   Sh«
en of seventeen snmmera, with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyea. Eleanor had never seen her aunt before, and during her short visit she had learned to love her truly ; and in a degree the dreary void within her heart was filled. Mrs. Qreville, ou her departure, gave Eleanor an invitation to viait her, of which Eleanor aasnred her she would soou avail herself.
Leafy June came, and ahe set out, oue fair, jsunny morning, to viait her aunt. 0, the green, fragrant country! Eleanor waa aoon herself again, and the glow came back to her cheek, tha light to her eye, and the old buoyancy to her step. Numerous indeed were the various iuvitationa to huskings, country dances and like gatherings; and she never more enjoyed herself than <iuriog her yiait to Maple Copse.
At one of the " sooiahlea" she attended, she met with a young farmer of great infor¬ mation and refinement. Hia name was George Winslow. After a slight, yet suffici¬ ent acquaintance to form a judgment regard¬ ing him, ahe could hardly analyze her feel¬ ings. Aud thus it waa also in the oase of the young farmer.    Both were puzzled.
But time waits not, and Eleanor returned to the city. One day she received a letter directed in a strange haud, and with won¬ dering ahe broke the seal. She started when she aaw the name of George Winslow at the bottom of the page; and tears of grateful joy sprang to her eyes when she found it to be a declaration of love. Her louging was gratified, and life looked bright. The answer she retumed was favorable. At least you would havo thonght so, could you have seen its happy recipient when he read it.
"Dear, angelic creature," he exclaimed, fashion has not shackled her heart'. and she ia ft true-sonled girl!"
But Mr. Leigh must be informed of the state of affairs ; and Eleanor revealed to bipi her engagement.
"lAafihoped tohave seen you married to one as wealthy as myaelf," he aaid ; but Providence wills it otherwise ; and if you can be happy iu his love; God bless you I"
"0, father, dear father !" Eleanor exclaim¬ ed; "I thank yon, 1 thank you !" and she wept for very joy. She had expected a re¬ fusal ; but she waa agreeably disappointed. Soon after George came to visit Eleanor, and his polished manners and noble bearing soon won a way to Mr. Leigh's heart, as it had to his daughter's. And so they were mar¬ ried—George and Eleanor—much to the scan¬ dal of the Aaui ion ^- but Eleanor cared uot, for she was happy. And now for the grand denounement—be paiient.
One day as she was ransacking her hus¬ band's portfolio, Eleanor came across some cards, upou whioh was "Sir George Winslow* Baronet."
" What does this mean, Georgo ?" ahe asked, wonderingly.
"Why, just what it saya," said he, color¬ ing-
"Fudgft' you ar« miizzintr mp." Rlpnnnr exclaimed.
"No, I am not;" aud he went on to explain how he had come from England to Americai where all were free aud equal; and how he had kept his nobility a secret, thus winning a true heart.
Eleanor could scarce believe it; but it was true, and she was more than happy, for it showed how strong was her husband's love.
Stimulants—Whether of wine, or ale, or opium, or alcohol, are the greatest enemies of our kind. It is a wide mistake that the lower classes mainly fall into habits of intox¬ ication ; the very brightest minds of the paat age and of our own time have been prema¬ turely wiped out by the stealthy fiend Alco¬ hol. Of the stars of a preceding century, which have gone out in the night of drink, to shine no more, we might name Addison, and Steele, and Moreland, aud Sheridan, and Charles Lamb, and Theodore Hook, with myriads of others. And of ouv owu time, what a long array, which delicacy to the liv¬ ing forbida us to marshal byname, of all pro¬ fessions and of every calling I Aud in addi- not a few of tlie daughters of our land fall, unsuspected, iuto the arms of the remorse¬ less destroyer.
We are not opposed to the moderate, the rational use of tea or cofiee, for these and other beverages may be advantageously em¬ ployed. Againat the immoderate use of ao called "stimulants," whether iu the milder forma of beers, winea aud cordials, or of those more decidedly alcoholic, there are two infal¬ lible safeguards—one for a sage, one for a gimpleton. Por the latter, for the overwhelm¬ ing majority, there is only one ground of safety, and it may be thus plainly stated:—
If you never touch a drop of auy prepara¬ tion containing alcohol, you will most assu¬ redly never die in the gutter; if you ever do touch a drop, you may.
There is no middle ground which auy man or woman can safely tread, only tbat of total and most uncompromising abstinence.
To the very few who are wisely firm, who have that strength of oharaoter which is the parent of the most perfect self control, we may give a safe advice. Use a specified amount at specified times, and never, under any oircumstancas, withont medioal advice* or nnder great urgency, increase that amount by a single drop in quantity or in frequency. And after all, to be perfectly safe—

the surface of the ground, they must be treat ed with the utmost care, else they wither aud die; but when they have matured, they grow in safety, aud are lesa liable i^ i^estmc- tion. Plants are like ohildren. An the ills that make miserable the life of m.iny gather around his childhood and youth. Children from the greatest part of the long and sor¬ rowful procession that moves incessently to the land of silence. Their graves fill our cemeteries; their soft spirits haunt these syl¬ van solitudes. Their happy, beaming eyea havo ceased to look upon us with glances of trusting love. Their ringing voices, which once ooold ohaiie from our wrinkled brows the olouds of care, with their gladsome echoes, are smothered in the silence of tho tomb.— The cold earth preesea heavily upon the ten¬ der breasts that heaved with love and the new delights of childish innocence.
Death is at all timea an unwelcome visitor. He comes crowned with terror; and wheu he has paased, he leave.^ sadness and gloom be¬ hind. But never does he seem so oruel and remorseless, never does hia coming awaken such sadness as when he:.strjfe#a -the young. The old man, after having experienced the toils, vexations and sorrows of a long life, welcomes its close, happy that the end of his labors has arrived. He who is in middle life, has finiahed life's enrapturing pleasure.^, and has begun the stem battle with ita troubles. When he diaa, we feel, in the midst of our grief, that he has left a scene of toil.
But when children die, they leave a world whioh seems to them a paradise. Turning away from the long vista of pleaaure which invites their atepa, full of beautiful sights and melodious sounds, in the day-spring of love and friendship, in the midst of bright hopes and joyful anticipations, they start on their solitary journey to the silent land.
Were ihere no alleviating circumstances, theirs would be indeed a dark and mournful end. Tlien might we say that they had been born in vain. When only the black scene of death is present to the mind, and the gush. ing teara obscure all but the remembrance of her former loveliness, few rays of hope bright¬ en the gloom of our grief. But after the overwhelming burst of sorrow ia over, the calm contemplation of their bright destiny is sufficient to cheer the heart. What though I they be buds gathered before they bloom; i they shall bloom in more congenial soil.— j They will attain to full perfection amid the fair gardens, aud green bowcr.^, and eternal sunshiueofParadieH. Tlieir sunny faces will be mado brighter and Jiolior with beams of celestial light. Their voices will acquire a sweeter tone. Their happy hearts will be made still happier by the ever fresh delighta and rich scenery of their final home. They not only leave the opening pleaaures or youth, but they avoid tho long array of pain, aicfcness, aorrow and -woe that throngs tlie path of llie pilgrims over the dreary waste of life. Then, weeping mother, aud heart-strick¬ en brother or siater, let your teara be dried: cease to regret that the departed one can never more wear the lovely garlands of earth, but stretch your sight, and you may see a wreath of unfading flowera upon your loved one's brow, placed there by the Sa¬ viour's hand.

A Tdrkish School.—"What a picture  it' was!   On the ou3bioned divan,  which ran along oue aide of the room, eat three veuera- hle-looking Imauma, in flowing rohes, long bearda, white turbans, and with ckiboque.— On their right and left, upon the divan, were seated a dozen boys, of ages varying from six to twelve, whoae dress marked them of high rank.    In   a   eonsplouous   position   among these was a tiny boy, about four years old- Hs wore a littla coat of crimson velvet, em¬ broidered iu gold; trousers and vest to match; a leather band, richly  worked, round his waist, from which hung a tiny sword.    On hia head a velvet fez, beautifully embroider¬ ed, with heavy gold tassel, completed his at¬ tire.   On a small desk before the Imaums were several large books in the Turkish lan¬ guage.   One was lying open.   Below the di¬ van  were rows of little Turks, all dressed alike, in the coat and trowsers aud crimson cloth fez.   They sat in rows on the floor, like an English infant school, and their little red caps made them look, at a distauce, like a bed of poppies.   Truth to say, they all be¬ haved a great deal better than  the  same number of little Britons would have done.— Our entrance attracted their attention.   Only for an instant they gave us a look, then set¬ tled themselves again. Andnowlmaum called up one boy after another to read a sentanoe out of the great book; when he had finished his sentenoe all the school cried out," Amen." At length the little boy whoae dress we have described descended from his seat, aud stood at the Imaum's feet—then slowly repeated each word after the Imaum.   He acoompliah- edasentauce; avery loud "Amen I" foUow¬ ed, and there was a buzz and a amile on eve¬ ry one's face, and as if some feat had been acoompliihed.   The child  retomed  to his place,andthe other boys went np in turns for their lesion.'!
Cleanliness of person— the strictest clean¬ liness—should be among  the earliest and
most   inipciutivtr   ol'    oui      ic.iuLit.jin   to    wn»
children; not external cleauUue.'^s, but that which is most promotive of health—cleanli¬ ness of the skin and the gai-ments which are nearest to] it. With what contempt would we look oa the best dressed and handsomest persou on the street, if we could know that tho feet had not been washed for n week, nor the inner garments for a month; aud yet it is undeniabltj that many persons are satis¬ fied that the outer garment should be unex- ceptionably clean ; if that be whole and with¬ out a rent, it matters not how soiled and tat¬ tered those out of sight are. No such mind can be pure ; it implies a deceptiouauess of heart which it is impossible to admire. Lot mothers charge it especially upon their daugh¬ ters from earliest life that it is actually as dis¬ creditable to have a hole in the stoi;king as in the silk dress; that asplotch or stain, or grease spot on an inner garment, is not leas unpar- douable than if found on a shawl or cloak, or bonnet. Let every mother feel that cleanli¬ ness, temperance and thrift, are the antipodes of filth, bestiality aud improvidence, and tliat spotless cleanliness of peraon, and purity of mind, are absolutely inseparable.—HalVs Journal of Health.
ScMiiER Travelling.—It is an almost uni¬ versal practice for persons who travel, es¬ peciaUy when children are along, to take a variety of cakes and sweetmeats. We ear¬ nestly warn our readers against the practice —it is in every way pernicious. Sweetmeats tempt the appetite, induce thirst, wliich when' gratified produces a sensation of fulness aud discomfort and crossness. It takes away the appetite of grown tickets, clogs tlie stomach, and deranges the whole system.
There is nothing better for children and grown persons, than some crackers or cold bread, with some slices of ham. K reaUy hungry, these will sustaiu nature, without being liabla to the objections of sweetmeats. But for grown persons it is far best not to eat anything at all while travelling, except at regular meals, but if you are not sure of at least a full half hour, for actual sitting at the table, do not go to it. Take a sandwich, and travel on.—Hall's N. Y. Jour. Health.  ¦>•¦•»¦	
A Good Wife.—Inthe eighty fourth year of his age, Dr. Calvin Chapin wrote of his wife: " My domestic enjoyments have been perhaps, as near perfection as the human con¬ dition permits. She made my liomc the pleas¬ antest spot to me on earth. Aud uow that she is gone, my worldly loss is perfect."
How many a poor fellow would be saved from suicide, from the penitentiary aud the gallows every year, had he been blessed with such a wife.
" She made home tho pleasantest spot to me ou earth." What a grand tribute to that wo¬ man's love, and piety, and common sense.— Rather diflerent was the testimouy of an old man some three years ago, just before he was huug in the Toombs' yard of this city. " I didn't intend to kiU my wife, but she was a very aggravating woman.*' Let each wife in¬ quire, "Whicham I?" _
