THE "JOUR, +"

You may sometimes meet in passing down
street, at an early hour In the morning, an
individual, perhaps only partially wrapped in
| woolen and cotton fabrics of doubtful tint,
whose rapid pace tells you that he is a me-
chanic on his way to his daily task. Did it
ever accidentally enter into your head that
under all those swarthy covering and mani
fold disadvantages, there dwelt MAN-that
there resides a soul; mind mayhap, with
''thoughts that wander through eternity?"-
Do you fancy in your pride, or Indifference,
or Fictitious Importance, caused, mayhap, by
some accidental circumstance in which your
own merits had no share, that you are his
superior? Pull off your gloves and make a
comparison. Is there slumbering in your
delicate muscles any such subtle power as he
possesses! You discern in n moment that
for all practical purposes, he is immeasurably
your superior. You, with all your fnery,
may be nobody, Qhough you may think
otherwise,) while he is all that he claims to be,
and perhaps more. He makes no noise in
the word-would not if he could, but never
theless has his value: where and how, you
may learn on enquiry. The true craftsman
attracts little notice Yet all around you may
see his works. Go where you will, the Me-
chanic has left his mark. In the gray old
pyramids, in the embattled towers and mighty
Notifications of the old and new ages, in the
huge oak leviathans of the ocean, and in al
most every spot where the foot of civilized
man has ever trodden, his handiwork is visi-
Bile. Even in the midst of the desert you
may hear the clank of his earth subduing
engines. He has enabled the water-drop to
expand with the power of ten thousand gi-
ants, and to bear the fleets of commerce upon
every sea. He, quite as much as the scholar,
has, in the words of Bacon, attacked Nature
in her strong towers" and wrung her inmost
arcana from her reluctant grasp. With
Science for his guide, he no longer wanders
in the dark, as in days of old. Let him toll
on, still more and more cultivating his powers
and soon still higher honors be awarded to
The great brotherhood of mechanics.

he says, has lived with him several years as his
wife, hc being the fnthcr of fhe Youngsters she
not only consented 10 accompany him to Baltimore,

KIDNAPpING-A gentleman from Maysville, Ken

along 9th ST.. Cincinnati thought he recognized in the
proprietor of barber shop there, n slave that es-
capped from him some ten years ago. In the after

at the barber shop and arrested the alleged fugitive,
who goes by the name of George Brown. The ne
gro was but little concerned, and walked to the
Commissioners Office with II jOyial air. lie said
he knew that he could prove that he was fr66born,
and he could not, consequently, DO in danger OF
losing his liberty. Mr.. Ballengerwas notabsolutely
positive, but if this George Brown ard his Nose
were not Identical there between them the most
remarkable resemblance that ever came to his know

patches to his friends in various parts to come and
prove his free birth
Brown claimed to have bcon born in Vincennes,
and it was learned that Mr. Geo j. Clark, from that
place, who knew him well, was in the city. After
short delay Mr.. Clark appeared, and expressed
much surprise to see Brown, whom he had known
from small hoy, under arrest. Clark, with the
attorneys in the case-Col Chambers for Mr.. Bal

ger retired and had private conversation, On
returning, Col. Chambers announced that Clark's
story was perfectly satisfactory. lie entirely
positive as to his recOllections and knowledge OF
Browns birth and boyhood. Mr.. Ballenger would
not put his memory of ten years ago against Mr.

POETRY.
From the Southern Literary Messenger.
Airley.


BY MISS SUSAN ARCHER TALLEY.
Oh qreenly grow the alder boaghs,
Upon the banks of Alriey,
And ON the silver rivers breast
The lilies blossom fairly;
With blthsome echoes, far and near,
The sylvan shades are ringing,
And shrilly in the hazel copse,
The merle and maYis singing
But Airley towers are very lone,
And Airley halls are dreary,
Aud though the Sun be bright without,
The hearts within are weary;
For she that was the light OF all,
The chieflain,s lovely daughter,
Hath fed away with Roden's knight,
Across the stogny water.
He met her in the shady wood,
He .wooed her by the river
He swore by all the shining stars
To love but her forever;
And first she smiled and then she wept--
Her heart was troubled sairly-
She mounted on his snowy steed
And fled away from Airley,
Her cheek was like summer rose,
He. smile like summer weather;
Her fairy iootstep left the dew
I; Upon the purple heather.
Oh where shall we another find
Whose beauty blooms so rarelyE
'Tis morning now at Roden's halls,
And midnight upon AnIey.
Yet. dwelleth she, a happy bride,
Beyond the stormy water,
And siugeth in the strangers halls
The songs her mother taught her:
Oh we shall miss her many day,
Oh we shall mourn her sairly-
Yet happy is the Roden chief
To win the pride of Airley.

WHISPERING IN CoMpANY.-This habit.
so often INDUCED in by young ladies,ih the
presence of friends or strangers. savors
strongly of rudeness, if not of gross lgno-

perfect we may imagine ourselves to con-

How They USED TO PLoUGH-In some
parts of Scotland, in former times, the
ploughs used TO be drawn by four horses a.
breast, and required the assistance Of three
men. The business of one man was to
drive. For fiat purpose, he placed him
self between The middle horses, With his
face towards the plough, to guide II straight,
and in this position he walked backwards
with the rcins in his hand. Another walk
ed behind the horses with a clicked staff.
which he fastened IN front of the beam, and
by means of it he regulated the depth OF
the furrow by raising or lowering the plough
as occasion required. The ploughman fol.
lowed, holding the tllls; and in this formi-
dable and ludicrous manner, they repeated
their attacks on the soil. 80
In harvest, a basket machine was placed
on horseback for carrying home the grain
and persons were employed on each side
with forks to keep it in proper poise. 1t
is said that the practice is to be met with
in Galloway. -,
Many PRACTICES existing even at this day
in Ireland, arc still more ridiculous. Mr..
Arthur Young tells us that in DONEGAL, he
has actually seen horses ploughing by the
tail. zee" -
