Trial Trip Of the Fin st Locomotive.

Major Allen, the Engineer Of the
New York and Erie Railroad, IN a
speech made during the recent teFt-
val excursion, gave an interesting ac-
count of the introduction of steam
as a motive power upon the rallroads
of the United States, from which we
extract the following passage:
at was in the year 1928, on the
banks of the Lackawanna, at the
commencement of the Railroad DON
Meeting the canal of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company With
their coal mines-and he who adj
dresses you was the only person on
that locomotive. The circumstances
which led to my being alone on the
engine we're these: the road had been
built in the summer; the structure
was of hemlock timber, and the rails
of large dimensions, notched on to
caps, placed far apart. The timber
had cracked and warped from expe-
sure to the sun. After about 800
feet of straight line, the road crossed
the Lackawanna Greek, on the tres
tie work about so feet high, and with
a curve of $50 or 400 feet radius
The impression was cry general that
this iron monster would either break
down the road, or that it would leave
the track at, the curve, aud plunge
into the creek. My reply to such
apprehensions was, that 1t was too
Nate to consider the probability OF
such an occurrence; that there was
no other course but to have the trial
made of the strange animal, Which
had been brought there at such great
expense, but that it was not necessa-
ry that more than one should be IN
yolyed in it's fate; that would take
the first ride alone, and that the time
would come when should look back
to this incident with great interest.
AS / placed my hand upon the throt-
tie valve handle, / was uhdeci aed
whether / would move slowly or With
! a fair degree Of speed; but believing
that the road would prove safe, and
preferring, if I did go down, to go
down handsomely, and without any
evidence of tiniidfty, ] started With
considerable velocity, passed the
curve over the creek safely, and was
soon out of hearing Of the cheers OF
the vast assemblage present. Atthe
end of two or three miles, reyeFsed
the valves, and returned, without ac-
eident, to the place of starting, hay-
ing thus made the first railroad trip,
by locomotive, on the Western Hem
Iisphere."

HoGs,-On Monday the Hog trade
was well represent ted in town, both on
the part of owne ers and purchasers;
but. we can hear of only one sale

The prices offered for gross hogs by
buyers, as far as we can learn, were

Thes prices did not suit sellers; and
cons tquently no sales we're made
Hold ers appear unwilling to take less

TERRrBLE DRouaHr IN TExAs.-Th

TERRIBLE DRoUGHT IN TExAs.-The
Houston Telegraph is informed that
the drought has been so severe in the
frontier counties of Texas, between
the Trinity and the Brazos, that the
grass through d belt of country more
than a hundred miles, broad is literal
ly phrohed up. 1t was SO dry, that
wheh rubbed between the hands, it
crulhbled like dry furze. The cedar
forests in many places We re all brown
and Isere, and scarcely a living tree
could be found for miles. Fires had
swept through some of these forests,
and thousands of acres had been
cleared as effectually as if the wood
mans axe had been busy for years.
The prairies are so parehed that the
bunhlb has deserted its old haunts,
and the Indians are compelled to
waaller far to the north for game
Many of the prairie tribes are in a
starving condition, and unless the
lgoyernment furnish them food, all the
troops in the union cannot keep them
from stealing the cattle Of the from
tier settlers.

A cheerful Heart-- 1t is not es-
sential TO the happy home that there
should be the luxury of the carpeted
floor, the cushioned sofa, the soft
shade Of the astral lamp. These
cid the apartments, but reach not
the heart. a neatness, order, and a
careful heart make home the sweet
PARADISE it is often found to be
There is JOY, as real, by the cottage
fresiae, as in the splendid saloons Of
wealth and refinement. The elegan-
cies of life are not to be despised
They are to be received with graft
tuGe. But their possession does rot
insure happiness. The sources ol
true Joy are not SO shallow. The
cheerik heart, like the kaleidoscope
causes NEST discordant materials to
arrange themselves in harmony and

The Harp that once elhrO' Tara's Halls
BY THOMAS MOORE.

Thu harp that once through Tura'S Halls,
The soul of music shed,
Now hangs as :nuie on Tura's wills.
As il dat soul had fed.
So sleeps ihe pride of former years,
So gsory's thrill is DER;
And hearts that once bea. high for praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more to chiefs and ladies bright,
The harp Of Tara swells;
The chord alone 'ha, breaks at night,
The tale OF ruin tells.
Thas Freedom NOW SO seldom wakes
The only ihrob she gives,
Is when some heart Indignant breaks,
To show iha, siiil she lives.

A Picture for Bachelors.

IF in that chair yonder-not the
one your feet lie upon, but the other
beside you-closer yet, were seated a
sweet-faced girl, with a pretty little
foot lying out up on the hearth, bit
of lace running ri rbund the throat, and
the hair parted to charm over q
forehead fair as any in your dreams:
and if you could reach an arm through
that chair back, y Without fearof offence,
and suffer your fingers to play idly
with those cnrls that escape down
| the neck, and if you could clasp with
your other hand those little white fin
gers of hers, which lie so temptingly
within reach, and to talk softly and
low in the presence of the blaze,
while the hours slip without knowl-
edge, and the winter winds whistle
uncared for-if, in short, you were no
bachelor, but the husband of such a
sweet creature, woulditnot be efarpleas-
anter than cold Single night, sitting
counting the sticks, reckoning the
length Of the blaze, and the height of
the falling snow?
| Surely imagination would be
stronger and purer if it could have
the playful fancies of dawning wo-
manhood to delight it. All toll
would be torn from mind labor, if but
another heart grew into this present
soul, quickening it, warming it, cheer
ing'it, bidding it ever God speed
Her face would make a halo, rich as
a rainbow atop Of all such noisome
things as we lonely souls call trouble
Her smiles would illuminate the
blackest of crowded cares, and dark
ness, that now seats y ou respondent
in your solitary chair f0 0r days togeth-
er, weaving bitter finfies, dreaming
bitter dreams, would grow light and
thin, and spread, and float away,
rchased by that beloved smile. Your
friend, poor fellow, dies! Never
mind. That gentle clasp Of her fin
gers, as she steals behin nd you, telling
Iyou not to weep, for it is useless, is
worth more than ten friends.
/ Y our sister. sweet one, is, dead
buried. The worms ar busy with all
her fair ness. How it makes you
think earth nothing bat a spot.to dig
| graves u pon Itisempre- She says
she will be sister; and the waving
curl$, as She leans supen your shoulder
\ touch your cheek, and your wet eye
turns to those other eyes-God has
sent his angel, surely! Your mother,
alas for it, she is gone. Isthere any
bitterness to youth, alone and
ihom meless, like this? You are not
alone; she is there; her tears soften
i ling yours, her grief killing yours.
/ and you live again to assuage that
i kind sorrow of hers. Then-thesC
! chill dren, rosy, fair-haired; no, they
| do not disturb you with prattle now
they are YOURS. Toss away on the
green sward, never mind the hya.
cinths, the snow drops, the ylolets.
If SO be, they are there; the perfume
of their healthful lips is worth all tht
flowers Of the world Ike Marvel.

In room adjoining the above, about tw enty others
are engaged upon the wood work of cultivators, fan
ning-nils and hay-cutters, under the superntend-
ence of Mr. Luther Ross and here, also, by far the
greatest aud most difficult portion of the labor is
performed by the tireIess energies of steam and
ter power. Two upper rooms of the main buildings
are appropriated to the painting department, in which
a large number of workmen employed IN giving
the last finishing touches the labor of their fellow
craftsmen below, which prepares it for the sales
room.
We find it quite impossible, in the brief space of
single article, to convey to the readers mind any
adequate idea of The quantity aid number Of impe-
mens of agriculture which this great hive of thriving
industrious mechanics can turn out in single year.
In order fully to realize it, person should visit the
immense sales-room of Messrs RuggIes, Nourse s.
Mason, in Boston, which occupies nearly the whole
second story of Quincy Market, or walk through
the immense store rooms in this city, where the
rious implements are temporarily stored, awaiting
for brief season the demands of the consumers who
come from the north, SOUTH east and west, and also
from the distant isles OF the ocean, to have those de-
mands supplied Some idea Of the variety of tastes
which are to be consulted, and of the wants which
Messrs. Ruggles, Nourse, Mason g. Co. are expect
ed to supply may be formed from the fact that they
have no e5s than three hundred different forms Sizes
shapes and patterns of ploughs alone A good many
light mule poughs are manufactured for the southern
Market and Notwithstanding the free soil tendencies
of orcester, there is no falling off in this depart
ment of trade the present season.
The extensive and prosperous establishment of
Messrs. Ruggles, Nourse, Mason & Co., is noble
monument of Yankee enterprise, perseverance, and
probty. From the humblest beginning, it has grown
upto business sufficient to satisfy the ambition Of
the most aspiring and given to its poprietors
and reputation for honor and fair dealing of which
any man might well be proud, Their energy and
enterprise has contributed not little the growth
and prosperity Of Worcester, and the demand for
their labor has been the means Of attracting to our
young and growing city an Industrial population
whose moral qualities have given TO its character a
high name in the calendar for public spirit and pr
yate virtue.

TOBACCO DUST AS PRoTEcT1oN AGAINST
lNsEcTs.-We last year procured from a snuff mill
barrel ofdry but damaged snuff flour, and prepared
drudging boxes, covered with fIne boiling cloth,
with which we sitted it over the surfaces of any of
the plants attacked by insects, and with most signal
success The snuff should be applied, if practicable
while the plant is wet with dew, and repeated after
every shower. If the boxes are properly made,
(llke common flour drudge,) and the snuff is per-
ecty fine and dry, but little time necessary 10 go
over an acre of plants. Even the rose bug, cabbage
louise, thrps on grape vines, &C.. all yield TO the in-
uence of snuff, and the most delicate plant of the
hot house is not injured by its application. For
field vegetables, caustic lime made into a fine pow
der while dry, and applied before slakng by contact
with the air, will produce similar results.-Prof
