Touching Incident.

JENNY LIND.-The following is vouched
for the truth by the London Athangum -
During the visit of this child Of song to
Bath, she happened to be walking with h
friend in front of some aims houses, into
one Of which she entered, and sat down for
moment, ostensibly to rest herself, but in
reality to ind some excuse for doing an act
of charity to the old woman who lived in it
and whom she had seen feeble and totterinq
at the door. The old woman, like the rest
of her neighbors, was full of the Swedish
Nightingale, whom she heard was just then
in Bath, entertaining with her voice all
tho who were so happy and fortunate as
to be able to go to the tbearre.
"For myself" said the old woman, 81

"And would it make you happy Z" inquir

SAY, that it would" answered the old
woman, "bu such folks as can't 60 to the
play house, and so shall never hear her
Don't be so sure of that" said the good
natured Jenny, "sit down, my friend, and
listen" and forthwith she sang, with all
her richest and most glorious powers, one
Of the fne.t songs she ever knew. The
poor old woman was beside herself with
delight, when, after concluding her song,
her kind visitor observed,
Nov you have heard Jenny Lind
If she had given the woman a hundred
pounds, she could not have afforded her
half so much pleasure, 1t was an act OF
noble charity, of the enderest and mos,
delicate kind. Money it would have been
easy for her to give, and money she no
doubt did give; but to 81 down in an aims
house, and there to call up the enchant.
ments of her voice, for amusement Of an
obscure and poor old woman, was touching
proof of goodness of heart, which nothing
we have heard of Jenny Lind surpasSes.

Economy of Dry Wood for Fuel.

Many persons are under the imr ression,
that if a sloye ora fireplace be SO con-
structed as to have draft sufficiently strong
to burn green wood, that they can radiate
as much heat into the room as if the wood
was dry. -|.. ir.-A
This is an error, and the philosophical
causes for the loss of heat during the COM
bustion of damp or green wood, are easily
explained. .a
All substances in certain conditions. are
capable Of receiving heat and rendering il
latent-and the quantity of present or sens
ible heat, which may be rendered latent or
insensble, is in proportion to the increase.
in size of the material which absorbs it,
Thus; one Of the substances ID green OF
wet wood is water, and during the combus.
ton of wood. this water is transformed in.
to steam, and as each pint of water will
form about 1900 pints of steam, during its
increase of bulk itabsobs and renders latent
large amount of heat-the steam passes
off through the chimney, carrying the heat
with it, instead Of permitting tho heat, as

Reolaiming Clay Land.

An English agricultural writer says that
the tlllage system practised by scientific
men in England is doubtless an immense
improvement on.the system in vogue some
years aCo-"but Of all the discoveries Of
the present day, the conversion OF sun
stubborn clays into triable mold, through
the means of thorough draining, double
trenching, or subsoiling, is by far the great
est. And if we consider fully the great
Importance of it, the enormous benefit L
has conferred on landed proprietors, the
the great change it has effected on the face
of a country, and the complete revolution
it has made in The. whole farming practice,
we cannot be too thankful 10 Mr.. Smith, Of
Deanston, the author of it,"

Autumnal Ploughing.

1t would, doubtless, to many of our read.

this day, Pr ctice so universal as that re-
erred to in the caption of this article
Every farmer of common disceInment must

are frequently derived from inverting sword
lands in the fall, and that those Of hard,
compact and ponderous nature. are as much
benefited by the pulvernent action of
ros,s during their exposure through long
northern winter, as by an ordinary dressing
Of the best and most stimulating manure
Clay lands, in which there is tendency to
adhesiveness, and which are with great de.

in the preparation of all arabic soils; and

comparatively speaking; there is no work
so pressing that it cannot safely be deferred
Tor day or so, and he can take advantage
Of circumstances. and plough when he has
time, such lands as require it, or which he
is anxious to cultivate and improve. An
other advantage to be gained, is the extir-
patton of slugs, and the ora of insects,
which exposure to the severe frosts. through
protracted northern winter, will deprive
of their vitality. The eggs of many Of the
most noxlous insects which depredate upon
the hard won fruit of the farmers toll, are
deposited in the soil by their winged parents

AGood Story.

We have seldom been more amused than
we were on Thursday, by story related
by one of our police officers. A man by
the name of William H. Sparks has Tor
long time been under arrest for high cri-
me, an attempt to commit an outrage upon
female. The case, after lingering along
from term to term, was finally disposed Of
at the last session, by all order from the
Court to enter nolle prOscgui. Officer
House, who is shrewd fellow, told the
Judge it would be better not 10 tell Sparks
that he was discharged but endeavor to
get rid of him entirely. The business be.
ing entrusted to him, House whispered to
officer Kenyon who at once took the hint.
Sparks came into Court dressed Off in a
fine suit of clothes, and looking very much
like gentleman. Kenyon took him by
the arm and said :-"You can't be tried
yet, so we will go back to jail" Going
down stairs, Sparks said. "what do you
think they will do with met" why" said
K, "they will give you ten years." "That
is what ! expect" replied he. "Can YOU

"only just give me chance and e.'-
''Wel, now Bill, you start, and III set after
you, but will not take you, and then III tell
them you, escaped" No sooner said thar

There is, in this town, an old hen that
within few days has been playing some
queer FRANKS. While engaged in sitting
upon nest of eighteen eggs, cat within

of two kittens. Matters went on harmoni-

sence of the cat, the old hen conceived an
affection for her neighoor's progeny, for
sock her nest, and brooded the kittens,
Upon the return of the mother-cat, fight
ensned, in which the hen actually beat off
her four-legged assaiIant, and the efforts OF
the cat, thus far, to gain possession of her

CALIFORNIA.
BY MRS. L. 81. GARDINER.

The following lines were given 10 the young
men of Sag Harbor, l.. l., when emOarklng IN
the ship Sabina for Caiforni,. Olive Branch.
With anchors weighed, and sails unfurled,
You leave us for distant world;
You leave, for lands of golden ore,
Your own blue sky, your island shore
Your pleasant groves your garden bowers,
Your quiet lawns, your blooming flowers,
Your fathers care, your mothers voice,
Your sisters smiles, your bosoms' choice
You leave the beauleous C )urts of God,
Which in your happest days you trOd;
You leave youthful choir to weep,
When peas the organ long and deep;
AS memories rise and hours gone by
Rush DER the soul, and dim the eye.
BY the lone spot, the vacant chair,
The hearts wild wall rings IN the air;
Clasped hands are raised, and fearful eyes
Mothers, and wives, vnd sisters cries
Go up to Heavens close they meet,
And press around the mercy seat,
Where seraphs hand a censor bears,
For crystal tears, and mothers prayers,
No gold that in the distance CLEANS,
Nor dust that sparkes on the streams,
Not gems that in the mountains lie,
Attracting the adventurers eye
Not these alone be yours to gain,
For they their votaries oft have slain.
BE yours The pearl Of price divine,
The pearl that viii all pearls outshine,
Whose hues ray of hope impart;
Gold fails to yield the laintng heart;
A pearl that on the desert heath
Can scatter cen the shades Of death.
This precious pearl o seek, and find
Joy to The heart peace to the mind
A moments space. yet one word more,
As now you leave this sea grit shore:
While further from your own "sweet home"
Your bark SWEEPS through the dark " sea foam,
May catch each lie urning sun. in pride,
Hume the waves DER which which you glide
Pour on your path lis brightest beam,
Save when the moon, with mder CLEAN,
Shines, while she dips her brow and Iaves
Her burning crest in oceans waves;
And the vast canopy Of stars,
Tint dewy eve or midnight wears,
Watch DER you as yon gently sleep,
Rocked in the cradle OF the deep;"
Till CALIFORNIA; sunny skies
Burst brightly on your longing eyes.
T!crr-may your morn and evening dreams,
OF mountain gems and golden streams,
Be realized -and you once more
Return to old Long Islands shore.
