THE STEAM ENGINE.

"The rudest inhabitant of our forests-the man
whose mind is least of all imbued with relish for the
picturesque would gaze with vacant stare at the
finest painting-listen with apathy to softest melody
and turn with indifference from display of in
genious mechanism, is struck with the sublime power
and self-moving majesty Of steamboat fingers on
the shore where it passes and follows its yapd, and
almost magic course with silent admiration. The
steam engine in five years has enabled to anticipate
state OF things which, in the ordinary course of
events it would have required century to have pro-
duced. The art Of printing scarcely surpassed it in
its beneficial consequences. In the old world the pa-
ces of the greatest interest to the philosophc traveller
are RUNS and monuments that speak faded splen-
dor, and departed glory. The broken columns of
Tadmor, the shapeless ruins of Babylon, rich in
matter for almost endless speculation. Far different
is the case in the western regions of America. The
stranger views here, with wonder, the rapidty with
which cities spring up in forests and with which
barbarsln retreats before the approach of art and civ
zation. The reflection possessing the most intense
interest is not what has been the character of the
country, but what shall be her future destiny

not take off the attention from Agriculture Such was the
manufacture of hats which has grown into dsuse and
the consequence is that great many rcspecabe ehaes
have sought employment in cotton factories The rearing OF

and the qualities, told by better Judges than

mate of manufactures in despite of Brit

immense quantity and great variety of cambrics
plain, coored, and printed, equal to any that are i'm

cerned in importing, informed us that they had never
met, in Manchester, so rich variety of goods from
which to make a selection, and that cotton goods
which they once purchased in England, for 38 cents
and thought remarkably cheap, were no better than

hended 22 classes from an inspection of which, it
will be at once that the characters of his clas-
SEES were derived in the most simple MANNER from the
presence and form, or absence of the coroa and
we may gather from his work. that he led to pre-
fer this principle from the facilities which afforded
of readily distinguishing one plant from another.
This system of ToURNEFoRT had no sooner been
made public, than it was received almost every where
the continent with marked appreciation, and began
TO show itself Immediately i'll the happy effects which
it had the abors of his contemporaries. Nor did
it for many years to be the most prominent, and
was at length only ecpsed and allowed to fall into
disusc, through the superior merit of the Linnean
method. ToGRNEFoRT introduced, in another respect
new era in the history Of arrangement Before his
time plants had been for the most part described mere
y species, at best species distributed in COM
prehensiye classes and sections, upon some general
principle This distinguished Botanist perceived the
advantage of adding new step in the process and
of forming them into intermediate groupes, and adap-
ted an idea long thrown out by GEsAER, and recon-
ncnded by FARiUs CoLoNNA, a celebrated Italian
He accordingly, proceeded to make use of charac-
ters taken from the flower and fruit and occasionally,
though seldom, from other parts of the plants, for the
formation of genera, upon very extensive SCALE
The improvement which he thus introduced into the
science appeared considerable, that il was imme-
diately adopted generally by his contemporaries, and
has been gratefully acknowledged ever since. Thus
the first great and successful attempsto define the
genera of plants was made by IouRNEFoRT and in
this his transcendent merit will be conspicuous,
though his stem of arrangement should be entirely
forgotten.

great friends, Notwithstanding that Harry in the wan

his poor pet than good boy should have done.
Frsk loved him dearly,-much better than he did An
ME, although Annie every day gave him part of her
breakfast without making him beg, and would tie pref
