Corrugation.

We yesterday witnessed the effect of CORFU
cation upon plates of iron, producing results
that should be widely known. 1t was at the
War department. A plate, three inches long
and four broad so thin that supported only at
the ends, it would bend of its own weight, cor
rugated, sustained weight of six hundred
pounds as was proved by testing by its side
corrugated plate of precisely similar weight
and dimensions attached to it by a string
The Quartermasters' department are exiensive-
ly adopting corrugated iron for camp utensils,
&c., instead of wood, iron, or other metals,
prepared (shaped) in any other way, thus, a
camp bedstead has been adopted which is sufi-
cienily strong and firm for all army purposes,
though not weighing more than fifty pounds
quite as strong and firm as the army bedsteads
now being sent from London TO the Crmea,
which weighone hundred and fifty pounds each
A corrugated iron water-tight wagon body
that floats from two thousand to two Thousand
FIVE hundred pounds of freight, besides the run
ming gear, and weighs less than wooden wag
on body to carry the same freight, has also
been adopted into the service of the United
States, besides other articles of the same ma
terial. These facts show that, living in an age
of progress, those entrusted with the manage
ment of the Quartermasters' department of the
army Of the United States are making the most
for their charge, of the steady advance of their
countrymen in improvements in the useful

A Remarkable Occurrence.

A circumstance of a somewhat extraordi-
nary character occurred short time since in
one of the fourishing towns of the midland
counties. A clergyman died, and his wife and
daughters, on the third day after his decease,
recUllecting that no likeness remained, it was
agreed, ere the grave closed over him, that the
body should be unshrouded and portrait TAX
en-. A young lady of some professional celeb
rity was engaged for the task. She, with the
assistance Of the attendant, took off the shroud
and placed the body in the requisite posture !;
but other duties requiring the artists atten-
ton, the sketch was deferred till noon.-
lady commenced and went through an hour S
work on this image of death. At this stage
>r~he proceeding, by some unaccountable mo-
ton, the head of the figure fell on the side.
Nothing daunted, the artist carefully took the
head 10 replace it, when, 10 the eyes opened,
and staring her full in the face, 'the dead in
quired, who are you!' The young 'profes-
sional,' without trepidation, took the bandage
from the head and rubbed his neck. He i'm
mediately saw the shroud, and laughed i'm
moderately. The artist quietly called the
family; their JOY may be imagined, but can
not be described. That evening he who had
lain three days in his shroud bemoaned by
mother and sisters with agonized tears. glad
dened their hearts by taking his accustomed
place at the tea table, and at this moment is
making an excursion in North Wales.-Bed-

October strews the woodland DER
With many brilliant color:
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be dullers
Sorrow and the scarle: leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather
An me ! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
"This is the parting season; this
The time when friends are flying;
And lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are sighing.
Why is earth so gaily drests
This pomp that Autumn becreth,
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
"Each one of us, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brow with silver laden;
And thou this glen may'st seek again
But nevermore a maiden
"Nature, perhaps, forssees that spring
Will touch her teeming blossom.
And that few brief months will bring
The bee, the bird, the blossom.
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adorns them so,
Will never more come hither."
