AGRICULTURE BY STEAM.

The general application of steam to me-
chanieal purposes has in a certain sense
revolutionized the world. But while
nearly all the branches of labor and the
arts have been benefited by it, it is a
singular fact that the powers of steam
have never hitherto been practically ap-
piled to Tighten the labors and ensure
the success of the agriculturist. The
prospects are, however, that this def
cheney will SOON be removed. It is said
that Nj. Romaine, of Petersburg, Upper
Canada, has invented a steam pillow, for
which a patent has been granted in Eng
land, and.which is said to be far superior
to anything of the kind ever before con-
structed or conceived. 1t comprises a
stout cart, drawn by horses, containing
a steam engine of ten horse power, with
tubular boiler, on the principle of the
locomotive engine, and connecting by
means of a crank and rods with a large
cylinder, suspended behind and supper
ted by two smaller wheels, so as to be
independent of the unequal motion of the
horses. This cylinder is six feet in length
and three in diameter, and is armed with
projecting iron prongs, which are so ar
ranged in a spiral position that upon the
revolving of the cylinder they turn up
and effectually pulverize the earth to
any required depth. The cylinder is
partly enclosed at the back by a box,
against which the earth is thrown and
on the top is a seed roller, with tubes
through which the seed is deposited in
rows, and a roller following after leaves
all smooth and complete.
The weight of the entire apparatus is
a ton and a half; but the labor of the
horses is rendered comparatively light
by hat of the steam engine, which indeed
leaves little for the horses to do but to
guide the direction. 1t is believed that
this machine, with the aid of a man and
a boy, would pillow, SOW and rollten acres
of land in a day. The first cost of the
apparatus would be considerable; but
the steam engine may be applied to
thrashing and various other farm pur-
poses, SO that it would in the end materi-
ally lessen expenses.

ERs. ALEXANDER HAMILTON.

The correspondence of j. B. K, as
it appeared in the Detroit Inquirer, re-
ferred to the meeting of Mrs. III. with
AARON BURR on a steamboat, while
coming up the Hudson. "Lang Syne,"
aeo~ntributor to the Boston Transcript,
thus corrects j. B. X:
The statement is probably correct,
except in some slight details relating to
the lady. He mentions that a large
lady, richly dressed in black, and yelled,
while standing directly opposite to Aaron
Burr on the steamboat, put her veil aside,
and, raising her eyes across the table,
saw him directly opposite, and with his
eyes upon her, and only separated by
the width of the table" No doubt the
sequel is correct. She might have given
a scream and fallen, and on being taken
out, have refused to continue i'll the
boat OIL go further with the murderer of
her husband. This would be quite ma
tural but in one respect, probably the
interest and agitation of the moment
deceived the narrator in his transient
view of Mr.. Hamilton. She was al
ways uneommonly small and delicate in
her appearance, and in her youth stri-
kingly handsome. After her husbands
untimely death, she retired from the
gay world and even to this day, retains
the widows dress of that period, which
is remarkably plain, and much more
conventional than is worn now. The
closely bordered cap, closing over her
hair, now bleached by time, but then
in its glossy beauty; the simple black
bombazine robe, without an ornament !;
the close black bonnet and Grape veil
such has been her constant attire
and the description ofher as a "large
and richly dressed lady" could not be
identified. Her life, for many years
after the dreadful event which put our
whole country in mourning, was devoted
to acts of charity. She was President
or Directress to many of the New
York charitable institutions, and devoted
a large part of her time to the Orphan
Asylum. How much she was honored
and respected by all its members, many
can bear witness.
Some there are who may recollect
her on a visit to Boston we think more
than ten years ago. 1t so happened
that a horticultural celebration was
about to take place at Faneuil Hall,
and this distinguished lady, was invited
and placed in the desk by the side of
the President of the institution. There
were clergymen and other dignitaries;
but she was the only woman admitted
to the desk or pulpit. In the course of
various addresses made from the table
below, richly loaded with flowers, fruits,
&c. Webster arose and begged leave
to hat the daughter of Gen.
Schuyler and the widow of Gen. Hamilton
was then present and with his own hap
Ply and thrilling "reminiscences he dwelt
on the departed. Mrs. Hamilton laid
aside her black bonnet and arose. All
was silent attention. Those who sat
enough could read the tender and

THE FARMER-A PRETTY PICTURE

The man who stands upon his own soil,
who feels that by the laws of the land
in which he liEes-by the laws of civil
lied nations-he is the rightful and ex-
elusive owner of the land which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nature un-
der a wholesome influence, not easily i'm
bibed from any other source. He feels
other things being equal-more strong
ly than any other character of a man as
the lord of the inanimate world. OF
this great and wonderful sphere, fashion
ed by God and upheld by his power, a
portion of his-his from the center to
the sky. 1t is the space on which the
generations before him moved in its
round of duties he feels himself connec-
ted with those who will fellowship him,
and to whom he is to transmit a home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone to
their last home; but he can track their
footsteps I'VE the scenes of their daily
labors. The roof of which shelters him
was reared by those to whom he owes his
being. Some interesting domestic ira
dition is connected with every enclosure.
The favorite fruit tree was planted by a
fathers hand. He sported in his boy
hood beside the brook which still winds
through the meadow. Through the
fields lies the path to the village school
of earlier days. He still hears from
his window the voice of the Sabbath bell,
which called his fathers and forefathers
to the house of God; and near at hand
is the spot, where his parents are laid to
rest, and where, when his time is come,
he shall be laid by his children. These
are the feelings of an owner of the soil,
words connot paint them gold can not
buy them--Anon.

THE OLIVES OF GETHsEMAHE.

At the foot of Mount Olive we find
what is now considered the garden of
G~ethsemane, memorable as the resort of
our Lord, and as the scere of the agony
which He endured the night He was
betrayed. There is little doubt that
this is the real place of the solemn trans
action. 1t seems to have been an Olive
plantation in the time of Christ, as the
name Gethsemane signifies oil press
1t is about fifty PAGES square and is
enclosed by wall of no great height,
formed of rough loose stones. Eight
very ancient olive trees now occupy
the enclosure, some of which are very
large, and all exhibit symptoms of decay,
clearly denoting their great age. AS a
fresh olive tree springing from the stump
of an old one there Is reason to conclude
that event if the old trees that existed in
the time of our Lord have been destroy
ed, those which now stand sprang from
the roots. But it is not incredible that
they should be the same trees. They are,
at least of the times of the Eastern
empire, as is proved by the following
circumstances:-In Turkey every olive
tree which was found standing by the
Moslems when they conquered Asia,
a tax of one medina to the treasury,
while each of those planted since it's
onquest pays half its produce. Now
the olive tree of Gethsemane pay only
eight medina.-Dr. Wild describes the
largest as twenty four feet in girth above
the root, though its topmost branch is
not more than thirty feet from the
ground. NJ. Rove, who travelled as a
naturalist, asserts that the largest are
at least six yards in circumference and
nine Or ten yards high-so large indeed
that he calculates their age at 1000
years.-Ancieht Jerusalem.

CULTURE OF PIE PLANT.

All who have had any experience IN
the matter, are fully convinced of the
luxury and healthfulness of fresh and
succulent substances for pies at all times
of the year. Yet the idea has never sug-
gested itself to many, or if it has it is not
practiced upon, that a cycle of such
substances may be had SO as to furnish
fresh material through the year. The
Pie Plant furnishes a beautiful link in
this connecting chain, coming, as it does,
when Apples begin to loose their fresh
ness, or, as they are in many families, not
to be found at all, and before Goosber-
ries, which have not yet found place
in one garden of twenty to any tolerable
extent. Yet how few cultivate the Pie
Plant! Why, we know not, for nearly
all are fond of i%Shen properly cooked,
and it can be raised as easily as the Bur-
dock when once introduced into the soil.
Neither of them will grow successfully
in poor soils the Burdock chooses a loca-
ton for itself, and the Pie Plant is near
ly always thrust in some poor corner OF
the neglected garden, and then blamed
excessively if it will not produce large,
fine foot stalks where even common weeds
would refuse to grow, and where 10 grass
would vegetate, unless it be the ever
intrusive Quack. We once planted some
miserable, puny roots of the Pie Plant
in rich deep soil. The consequence was,
the next year the size of the foot stock
is increased one-half. The following
Autumn before the setting in of frost,
we covered the bed some three or four
inches deep with fresh horse manure.
This kept the roots in fine preservation
through the winter; and early in the
Spring, when the ground was fairly set
tied, the manure was mixed with the
earth by a deep and thorough forking.
Nowonder that the vigor of our plants
was increased in a wonderful proportion
As soon as any buds appeared they were
taken of-the leaves were cut as often
as they became large enough for use.
The next Autumn we gave the usual pro-
lection of manure, and the following
spring we forked it in. This course we
have followed for four years with some
plants we took from neglected grass land.
Now markthe result from the miserable,
puny leaves and stalks of the first years
growth, when the stalks were not more
than six inches long and proportionally
slender, we have now large, broad leaves,
and stalks so strong that all who see them
are inquiring where we got our new va
riety of plant, SO luxuriant. strong and

THE MILLENIAL SABBATH.

It will be a day of lasting rest. When
the night that is far spent is completely
exhausted, and the day that shall be is
come fully then there shall be perfect
rest. The earth shall have his Sabbath,
which it lost by our sin. May shall have
his, in its integrity, and purity, and beau
ty. Godrested on the seventh day from
all his work, and hallowed the Sabbath,
and blessed it. I believe there is not a
beast in the field, nor a fish in the sea,
nor a fowl in the air, that has not a right
to the Sabbath, and that shall not vet
have a Sabbath of rest. There is not a
laborer in the workshop, nor a toiling
man in the p~ost-ofice, nor a clerk in the
counting house, that may not claim the
Sabbath. Next to Gods Sabbath is the
right and privilege of the man. Popery
saps and subtracts both; infdelity impug-
mes and denounces both by Gods grace
will part with neither. And when that
last Sabbath comes-the Sabbath of all
creation-the heart wearied with its
tumultuous. beatings, shall have rest;
the soul fevered with it's a~nxieties, shall
enjoy peace. The sun of that Sabbath
will never set, or veil his splendors in a
cloud. The flowers that grow in his light
never fade. Our earthly Sabbath, are
but faint reflections of the heavenly
Sabbath, cast down upon the earth, dim
med by the transit of their rays from
so great a hight and so distant a world.
The fairest landscapes, or combinations
of scenery upon earth, are but the out
skirts of the paradise of God,-are earn
ests and intimations Of that which lies
beyond them; and the happiest Sabbath
hearth, whose every pulse is a Sabbath
bell, hears but a very inadequate echo
of the chimes and harmonies of that Sab
bath, that rest, where we crest not day
and night" in which the song is ever
new, and yet ever sung.
