couraging the breed of racers, the
sporting world will be employed in i'm
proving the build oflocomotives. We
shall be having thoroughbred engines
winning by half n turn instead Of by a
neck, and the great patrons of the turf
will abandon the study of horse-hcsh
for the cultivation Of the knowledge Of
iron.
We have heard Of high melted m.

be beautiful. The task of training

If the system of railroad racing
should be adopted, Punch will proba-

stud of locomotives. and will be pre-

The following is the sort Of account
that might be given of our first S,ceep-

between ourselves and one or two in
dividuals who are a good deal addicted
to political sporting:
"After two or three false starts, the
whole lot got fairly off, and PEEL went
at slapping pace on Free Trade

good deal encountered by the Conscr'

him till he went slap away, and left
them powhere. BRoUcHAM now made
all the running, but went very wide
and in going down hill was lost sight

on his four-year-old, and went slap in
among the lot, winning clevcrly by
several heads, to the delight Of the as
semblcd multitude" Punch.

WHAT Iowa HAS NOT GoT.-A wri-

rics, no quagmire counties, nor cordu'
roy roads, in Iowa! None OF these
things. Every acre is susceptible OF
cultivation, without draining swamps,
or dead ming woods, as in other Wes-
tern States. No 'black tongue as in
Missouri. No lifetime fever and ague,'
ms in Illinois. No 'milk-sickness, as
in Indiana. Neither have we the l.o-
Gust, nor army worm, nor Ilcssian fly,
to destroy our crops, as is common to
other States. In truth a finer land

SiNciNc.--A young man at social

sing a song. lie replied that he would
first tell a story, and that then, if they
still PERSISTED in the demand, he would
endeavor to execute song. When a
boy well in his "tcens," he took les
sons in singing; and one Sabbath morn
ing he went up into his fathers garnet,
as had been his custom, to practice all
alone by himself. While in /uH cry,
he was suddenly sent for by the old
gentleman. "This is pretty conduct"

MARRYING AN HEIRESS.
CONCLUDED. |
RY J. B. FOSTER.

Henry Stanton was visiting at Mr..
Harvey's when the above letter was
received; and learning from whence it
came, he requested the old man to make
its contents known. lie accordingly
broke the seal and commenced:
respected father
We'll, well, the young scamp be-
gins very WE'LL" said he. "But let US
sec what he has to $40 for running
away with my servant girl"
SO saying he read the letter Of Dick
10 his attentive listeners.
"Wcll, said he, when he had finish
cd reading, must say that he writes a
good letter."
"Yes, he docs, said Henry; and now
suppose you will answer it,"
sob ycs-of course must
What, father, and tell him of his
mistake!'
mo, no, Clara--:ell him how sorry
lam that he has pursued such course
and after giving him good lecture
for his conduct, ask him and his wife
back-and as he says, extend my par
don to them for the step which they
have TAKEN"
"What, father, and not undcceive
him?"
"No-it will be time enough for
that after they come back"
"But," said Clara, 9" would not
distress him in that way-write to him.
and let him know that am here, and
who his wife is,and that will be enough,
should think"
"No, Clara, that will never do--for
as soon as he knows that Belly, in
stead OF you is his wife, he will proba-
bly, leave her, and what would she do
there, in the city, alone and no friends
to assist her? No. no, if he leaves her
it must be here, where he took her
from, for she is too good girl to be
entirely ruined"
Il Think" said Henry "that would
be the best course to pursue"
"Yes, Henry--and l must see if ]
can write as good letter as he has
written
Thus saying he left the room to in
dite an answer to Dicks epis,lc.
In the meantime the young married
couple were anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of news from home. say anx-
ious. for they both were--but for diff
ferent reasons. Dick was sure that
his fortune for life was made, if the old
man would invite them home. And
this he thought there was no doubt Of
for he conceived that Ito parent could
be SO hard hearted as to forever disown
an only child.
But with Clara-or with Betty,
which the reader has seen was her
real name--the cause for impotence
was far different. She wished, ardent
ly wished, for the letter to arrive-and
yet she dreaded 10 have the time come.
For she doubted not but that it would
explain to her husband her real name
and situation. And then, what course
she would pursue, she knew not. She
had thought that she could prevail up
on him not to write TO her pretended
iather, believing he was as ardently
attached TO her as he protested to be

EsTERLY's HARVESTER This ma.

EsTERLY's HARVESTER This mas
chine is the invention of Geo. Esterly
Esq. of Heart Prairie, Wisconsin,
The inventor is building several of
them, and will put them into operation
during this season, in several districts
of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and in
Wisconsin. His intention is that per.
sons shall have chance to see them
work, before calling upon them to pur-
chase. This all will acknowledge TO
be the fair way.
The machine is driven before the
horses, cuts off the heads of the wheat,
leaving most of the straw in the field.
1t is guided by the man at the wheel.
The power RI quired to work it is three
horses, two men, and boy. When
the grain stands well, it is said to cut
twenty five acres per day, without the
least waste. The heads, after being
cut, are received into the box as seen
in the figure: from which they are
shoveled into a wagon, and drawn TO
the barn or the crib, where they are
secured. From half an acre to an acre
may be harvested without unloading
the box. OF course, all raking, binding
and stacking are dispensed with.
1t is claimed that there is saving Of
from fifty to seventy five per cent, in
threshing The wheat thus harvestedover
that cut in the usual mode. The crop
| from so acres was threshed with a CONF
mon four horse thresher, by MIR. Es-
terly, in two days, and the work done
perfectly. Several of Esterly's neigh
bors give it as their opinion that there
is saving of full three fourths Of the
usual cost in harvesting BY this mode
counting from the cutting of the grain
Till it is ready for market. If such
shall prove to be the case, il will be no
mean invention. Full trial will be
made this season, and The public ac-
quainted with the result.
