THE LINDEN TREE.

Of every other tree connected with ru.
raj economy, parhaps the Linden is the
most valuable. In Russia, its properties are
80 we'll understood, that we see it growing in
every hamlet and village possessing soil ca
psbie of nourlshing it. The wood is not only
manufactured into furniture, but into varIe.
ty of domestic utensils Cord and mating
are made from it's inner rind, while its aro.
matte blossoms not only perfume the air and
feed the bees, but make an agreeable tisane
for the invalid. The Circassians feed their
bees on the blossoms to produce the fine green
honey, aromatic in odour and delicious IN 1a'
vor, esteemed so great delicacy by the rich
pourmands of Constantinople and Tehefan.
In order to ensure its good qualities the honey
ia received from the hive previously to the
blossom changing its color. The young and
tender sprigs, with their foliage, serve to mix
with the FODDER during the depth Of winter, be-
ing highly palatabe to the cattle. l have al.
ready, 10 my previous works, more than once
alluded to this very useful tree. with desire
to promote its cultivation in this country; for,

New MODE OF PRoPELLING STEAMBOATS,.

New MODE OF PRoPELLING STEAMBOATS,.
AN ingenious mechanician, named
Franklin Kelsey, has inven'ed method OF
propeling boats, the idea (which was sug.
gesed TO him by those contrivances of ma.
ture by which animated beings are enabled
to move forward in The Water. He has
completed and brought to this city model,
a boat of six tons burden, furnished with
small iron paddles in front eighteen inches
in length and eight in width, which, by the
power of four men turning crank, is moved
forward rapidly in the water.
By means of combination Of machIn'
cry, the invention of Mr.. Kelsy, peculiar
mot ion, like that of the fins of a fish or the
Appers of seal, is communicated to the
paddles, by which all back water is avol'
ded. The evident advantage Of Mr.. 'Kel'
sey's invention, is, that n the open sea nc
part of the power is lost as in the use ol
wheels. The motion Of the waves often
lifts first one wheel Of the steamboat and
then the other out of water, but in Mr.. Kel.
sey's plan the paddles are always Immersed
and every stroke tells, whatever be the 1uc
tua,ions Of the surface. Mr., Kelsey has
been engaged for loug time. twenty-five
years we believe in bringing his machinery
to perfection. To US it appears nromis:
ing, as it certainly is very beautiful and
ingenious invention. We are informed tha
i, is intended to make arrangements for ex-
hibiting it 10 the public, when scientific and
practical engineers will have the opPortun
iy of Judging lis applicability to the purpose
of propeling steamboats,. The invention is

cause is, the quality Of the stock planted;
A great Quantity Of such stock was planted
from place 10 place, during the winter
months and of course lost its validity and

is that the supply, the ensuing fall, will be
far short Of the demand, and prices range

To the citizens OF Virginia, who design

culture of silk, the adoption IN the begin.
ming, of such varieties of the mulberry as
are best suited 10 our soils and climate, is
of the highest importance. Enjoying as |

which have been led by careful examina.
lion.
Of all the above.named varieties the
"morus mul,icaulis," Justly claims the pre-.
eminence. lis growth is rapid, and as large
as it should be for permanent plantation,
on light sandy soils that are capable of
producing Is or 20 bushels of corn to the
acre. Indeed, it should not be planted on
more fertile soils, because at the age offour
or FIVE years, afier having been headed
down, the stalks are liable to be broken
down by violent winds. On this point, |
speak from very recent experience. 1t is
capable Of enduring our hardest winters
In proof of this, the following facts are sta.
ted =; In the fall of'37 and '3s, | dropped in
;he field small tree of "morus multicau.
li.," which remained exposed root and
branch all the winter. 1t was found, and
planted in March, following, and is now
healthy, and growing very rapidly. In '3s
and '39 other plants were exposed in the
same way, which are yet living and doing
very well. From those facts some may
imagine that the winters in this part of Vir-
ginia are very mild but it is far otherwise.
In this region the sassafras and wild plmen:
to, (laurus 6enzoin,) both Of which are found
in high northern latitudes, have occasionally
been killed, and the ground freezes to the
depth of fifteen inches. This occurred in
the winter of go and 81 when we had
standing out 900 small plants of "mu'tcau-
lis" raised from cuttings planted the pre-.
ceding May, and not more than three or
four were lost. thawed the ground by

WILLIAM PENN's WAY OF GETTING WHAT
LAND HE WANTED.

Penn learned, in 1859, that there was
some very choice land not included in his
fist purchase; and he sent to inquire Of
the Indians if they would sell it. They re-.
piled that they did not wish to part with the
land where their fathers were resting but
to please their fa:her-the name they gave
The good man-they would sell HIM some
Oft. Accordingly. they agreed, for a GER
tain quantity of English goods to sell as
much land as one of his young men could
walk round in day, "beg'nn'ng at the
grea, river Cosquanco (now Keasing'on),
and ending at the great river Kallsplngo"
1now BrisioI) This mode Of measurement
though their own choice, did not, in the end,
satisfy the Indians; for the young English
man. chosen 10 walk off the tract OF land,
walke so fast and far, as greatly to aston
ish and morlify them. The governor ob-
served this dissatisfaction, and asked the

The "morus multicaulis" makes SILK OF
the finest quality, equal, if not superior to
the silk from morus alba, and much softer
and more lustrous than that produced from
morus rubra. have made very careiul
experiments on this point. and confident,
ly assert that the published statement o'
some northern men, that the silk OF "moruS

foundation in fact, and evinces either 'gao'-
ance or want of candor. ..,
Next to the "morus multicaulis," place

not for several years at least, come INTO
competition, for purposes of sPecu'a'lon'
with the other varieties. therefore nope
that | shall escape the suspicion of tree

the "Alpine," growing from cuttings on

affirm that it is superior to either. 1t furn'

Canton. 1t bears leaves about half Tho .'.e
of "morus muticaulis." grows very we'll 10
such soils, and propagates readily from cut'

With respect to the value of morus alba
and the Alpine and Florentine, which are
both varieties ofthe former, have to say
that they will prove valuable to farmers
having land that will produce from go to
100 bushels Of corn to the acre but on IN
ferior soils they are no. worth the expense

AMERICAN MANNERS.

The editor Of the New York American,
speaking Of Miss Sedgwick's new work, on
Self Training, says;
Her chapter on the manners, or rather
the want ofmanners, of her country women,
deserves an attentive perusal. We do not
wish to forfeit all character for gallantry and
kc,,ivalry. but It must be said that courtesy
Is NOT In every case distinctive attribute
of he American fair. An instance in point
is worth a dozen assertions.--With such a
one we were accidentally furnished within a
century. 1t occurred in q sea port, not in the
kindom of Bohimia. a lady we'll dressed
and of graceful mien, got into an omnibus.
She carried loosely 10 her hand-a most
absurd hab-a gold pencil case. On get.
ting out, she lei it drop, and passed on un-
conscious Of the loss. The ticket boy was
told to take i, up and follow her. which he
dId, carrying it up the steps of house she
was entering. She received it from him
without opening her lips, and without the
slightest change Of fcountenance, which could
be translated by the most charitable observ.
er into an expression ofthanks. SO much
for real life, yesterday afternoon. Miss
Sedgwick's are not more in point, althoug n
better told. We give one or two TO mark
with the stigma Of our reprobation, this odl-
Gus dIscourtesy.
"The most striking and prevailing defect
in the manners Of Americans is, believe,
q want Of courtesy. This has probably
arisen from the equality Of rights, condition
and education. And il arises in part from
that mauuaise honte or shyness characterls-
tic Of our English ancestors, from whom
we inherit it.
"a little reflection and moral cultivation
would soon remedy this defect.
What do | mean by courtesy, and how
is the want of it shown, do you ask 7 |

And so with thousand other attentions,
which are rendered and are received without
any return. Avoid such discourtesy, my
Young friends , it is not only displeasing,
but unjust. We actually owe some return
for such civilities; and corteous accep-
tance is in most casses the only one that
can be made.
"These Little chance courtcsies are smiles
on the face ofmanners, and smiles are like
sunshine-we can scarcely have too much
ofei,her. Courtesy is confined 10 no age
or condition. A very graceful courtesy
