TO KATE-A PARODY.

I'm thinking of the time, Kate,
When sitting by thy side,
And picking beans, gazed on thee,
And felt peacock's pride
In silence leaned we DER the pan,
And neither spoke word;
But the rafting of the beans, Kate,
Was all the sound l heard.
Thy auburn curls hung down, Kate,
And kissed thy lily cheek;
Thy azure eyes, half filed with tears,
Bespoke spirit meek
To be so charmed as was then,
Had ne'er before occurred
When the rafting of the beans, Kate,
Was all the sound heard.
| thought 1t was so wrong, Kate,
So, leaning DER the dish,
AS you snatched up lot of beans,
snatched nectar'd kiss
A sudden shower made blind my eyes,
neither saw nor stirred
But the rafting of the beans, Kate,
Was all the sound l heard.

What singular medley newspaper must
be In one column you will find labored and
swelling eulogy of departed greatness, appa-
renty written with tears and inspired with sor-
row; in the next appears the history of the
crops; anon occurs witticism; next comes
circus, puff, or recommendation of ice-cream ;
then follow the marriages and deaths. All
tastes (or no tastes at ally must be consulted
Sorrow and fun, business and nonsense must
all find place in the folio of four pages, or

New Motive PowER.-The editor of the
Pennsylvania visited a machine shop on the
18th to witness the working of new motive
power, the invention of DIR. Richardson, Of N.
Orleans. Its success is regarded as beyond a
doubt. The propelling element, we infer, is at
mosperic air. One gentleman, who has watch
ed the inventor, up TO the present point, says it
will seriously threaten the subversion of steam
and coal, and cumbrous engines, and furnaces,
and fire, and filth and weight, and smoke, and
heat, and all other parts of the dangerous and
bulky paraphernalia now incident to the most
improved modes of locomotion. The invention
will enable the whole space between decks in
a ship, to be gained, free of any incumbrance,
as the whole machinery used may be placed in
the bottom of the ship, below the water line
1t avoids the danger of fire, as no fire is used.
In point of cost it will be much less than the
cost of steam. 1t avoids the danger of boilers
bursting, as no boilers are used. Any extent
of power may be had and the sources of this
power can be realized any and everywhere, wheth-
er by sea or by land. 1t will insure power and
speed--safety and comfort.

SHEEP SHEDs.--We have repeatedly urged
upon our readers the propriety of erecting sheds
for the winter keeping of their sheep, as we'll
upon the score of humanity as upon that of
economy. We have been long since convinced
that animals can subsist upon much less food
when protected by cover from the cold and in
clemency of the winter, by warm quarters, than
when exposed in the open air. Casting theory
aside, two recent experiments made in England
demonstrated the truth of our position so clear
ly as not to leave loop to hang doubt upon.
The first is an experiment made by Wal
banke Childes, ESQ, member of Parliament
He had forty sheep of equal size and weight
selected; twenty were fed in the open field, the
other twenty in rough shed; ye. the latter,
although they received one-fourth less food
than the former, showed an increase of 20 stone
more in the short space of four months.
The second experiment was made by Lord
Dubie; one hundred sheep kept in the open
fields consumed twenty-four pounds of Swe-
dish turnips daily, each, while a second hun
dred, protected by covered shed only consul
med twenty daily, each.
The reason of this difference in the quanti-
ty of food is obvious--the excess goes to keep
up the animal heat instead of being appropria-
ted to the increase of flesh, muscles and fat

SELF MOVING CARRAGE.-The Paris cores
pendent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, in letter
says:
Two years since described for an American
paper the self-moving carriage of M. Provost.
Since that time M. Provost has travelled in it
over great part of France, visiting Tours,
Saumur, Orleans, Chatres, Havre and other pa-
ces. He is now in Paris on his way to Bor-
deaux. He travels with ease to himself for
the force is not the muscular stregth applied to
pedals or cranks, but the weight of his person
which puts in movement the machinery, on much
the same principle of clock. On ordinary
roads (they are macadamized in France) M. Pro-
vost travels from sixty to eighty miles day.
The carriage is about six feet by three, and the
machinery not visible from the outside.

CARRYING BUNDLEs.-Many people have q
contemplate fear of being seen to carry any
bundle however small having the absurd idea
that there is n social degradation in the act
The most trifing as well as weighty packages
must be sent to them, no matter how much to
the Inconvenience of others. This arises from
low kind of pride. There is pride that is
higher; that arises from consciousness of
there being something in the individual not to
be affected by such accidents--worth and weight
of character.
This latter pride was exhibited by the Amer
lean son of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte; while
he was in College at Cambridge, he was one
day carrying to his room broom he had just
purchased, when he met friend, who noticing
the broom with surprise, exclaimed, "Why did
you not have it sent home?"
81 am not ashamed to carry home anything
which belongs to me-" was the sensible reply
Of young Bonaparte.
Very different pride was this from that Of
young lady whom we know, who always gave
her mother all the bundles to carry when they
went out together, because she thought it vul-
gar to be seen with one herself

A FAIR lNcIDENT.-Detroit has many gallant
sons, but none more so than Lieut.. -, who be-
ing in the hall of fine Arts upon the Fair grounds
on Thursday, at an hour when the place was
one universal "jam," found himself next to n
very pretty young mother, who was leading a
little girl by the hand, and carrying an interest
ing babe upon her arm. Finding the elder child
in danger of being trodden upon by the crowd,
she turned towards our military friend, and re-
quested him with sweet smile to take her
babe-what could he do less than comply |!
Being invested with this small command of in
fantry he commenced moving toward the door,
to which the steps of the mother were also
tending; but before it was accomplished, the
shifting surges Of the crowd had parted them,
and when the outside was gained no mother
was to be found. We found our gay bachelor
standing in the full view of forty of his most
charming female acquaintances, toying the ba-
by and crying h-sh h-sh in most father
ly manner; but the more he cried h-sh the
more it wouldn't stop bawlng at the top Of its
lungs, when, after turning his eyes in all direc-
tons over the field in a vain search for the MISS
ing dame, he rushed up to the entry clerk, who
observing his dilemma and anticipating his
question, cried out:
"No use Lieutenont, it is too late too make
any new entries, and that production of yours,
though doubtless very fine must nevertheless
be sent away--sorry for it, very" The distrac-
ted dry nurse was next seen pushing frantically
towards lady and child, who were standing at
a distance, upon reaching them, they were not
the ones he was seeking. Meantime the crowd
had thinned of-the people were going or gone,
and the distressed bachelor had no resort but TO
call cab and take his screaming charge to the
city. He was last seen enquring for Bateman's
Drops and Mothers Relief at an apothecary
shop. bet. Advertiser.

NEW YORK, April 20, 'ooi.
The u. s. Marshal here has either found mares
nest Cuban conspiracy. Yesterday he had a
force down the bay in revenue cutter. and another
in that venerable towboat the Jacob Bell in quest of
suspicious vessel-"a long, low, black schooner"
or something of that sort. The steamboat Cleo
patra had been recently purchased for $4,000 with
the full design, it was rumored, OF fitting her up Tor
a descent on the Cubans. In the night, the steam
ship Ohio coming up the Bay, when her OIL
| GERS were astonished by hail from the Govern
ment force, which then boarded her, to assure
themselves that she had not come prepared to take
| a band of the ccnspirators back to Havana Very
likely this was prompted by the agents Of the Cuban
and Spanish Governments, for, ridiculous as it may
appear, there is to believe that this noble
United States steamship suspected by the old
| ladies and Mrs. Partngtons of Cuba, to be in the
interest OF the invaders
Leaving the Ohio perfectly satisfied that she
was all right, and her refreshments of superior
order, the Marshas force turned their attention
little steamer, which occasioned great deal Of
alarm by burning her lights blue, and getting out
of the way as soon as possible. The disappointed
hunters then returned to the city, and found the
steamboat Cleopatra lying very quietly at the
| wharf, at the foot Of North Moore street. How
ever, she had full cargo of coal and country
produce abroad, and the mate and hands were sus
pected of acting strangely" an injunction wa,
| laid upon her, which will keep her at the piel
to-day. She is not charged with having any mum
