THE USE OF STEAM.

Steam has already been successfully APP
piled tn one of the most difficult branches of
Agriculture in England. We refer t. the
use of the Steam Plough, whereby large
engine keeps half dozen of ploughs in
operation, doing the work well, and with
q rapidity not attainable where hOrsefosh is
used. Whilst of course the Steam Plough
is not suited TO vast deal of this country.
more particularly the States lying along tie
Atlantic, yet we confidently look forward
to the day when it shall be used generally
on the Prairie lands of the great West.
where no distractions in the way of stumps,
rocks, or heavy hills, shall impede its course,
or throw it from the furrow.
Steam Threshing Machines have been used
on the large estates on James River in Viz
ginia for several years past. We had an
opportunity offered us the other day Of
witnessing the operation on the farm O.
John Howison, Esq, near Fredericksburg
The Engine was one of eight horse power
termed the Farmers Steam Engine" or
account of its general applicability to farm
ing purposes. Owing to the smallness of
the main flue, and the fact that the condens
ed steam passes through the ''smoke stack, -
all sparks are extingushed before they reach
the air, and as none have ever been found
escaping in live form, the engine has a
security which is indispensable in general
farming purposes, but particularly in all
threshinS operations.
The Thresher is one of modern pattern,
with all the combinations requisite to make
it highly popular. The straw is carried and
thrown from the rear, the cookie and i'm
perfect grains fall from spout at the side,
whilst higher up the full grain is elected,
into bags, portable, and easily conveyed to
aplace of safe deposit in case of lowering
weather or sudden rain.
The wheat comes from the Machine al
ready famed, but not sufficiently clean for
the miller. This defect, however, will be
overcome, and before long the farmer may
thresh and clean his wheat by steam at a
single Operation.-- Fredericksburg Herald.

No WOMEN IN HEAvEN.-A Scottish d.
vine once wrote a book to prove that there
were no women in Heaven. Strange as it
may seem he derived his argument from the
Bible. On being brought up before the
church for his heresy, he was asked to quote
the Scripture which he alleged sustained
him, when he read from Revelations: And
there was silence in Heaven for the space
of m hOnr' - --

THERE'S WORK ENOUGH TO DO.

The bIacI b ID early leaves ITS rest
To meet the smiling morn,
And gathering fragments Tor us nest
From upland, wood and lawn;
The busy bee shat wings its way
Mid sweets OF varied hue,
And every flower would seem 10 say
There's work enough 10 do"
The cowelip and The spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The suow-drop and the cg!antlne,
Preach sermons as we pass.
The ant, within it's cavern deep,
Would bid Us labor, too,
And writes upon its tiny heap
81 here's work enough TO do
The planets, at their Makers will,
Move onward IN their ears,
For Natures wheel IS never still
Progressive as the stars.
The leaves that futile: in the air,
And summers breszcs woo,
One solemn truth to man declare
There's work enough TO do"
Who then can sleep, when all around
Is active, fresh and free?
Shall mam--creation's Iord-be found
Less busy than the bee?
Oar courts and alleys are the field
II men would search them through,
That best of sweets and labor yield,
And "wUIk enough TO do"
To have heart for those who weep
To scottish drunkaTd win;
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin;
To help the p or, the hungry feed,
TIC give hun coat and shoe;
To see that all can read and write
is "woIk enough 10 d."
The time is short, The world is wide,
And much has TO be done;
This wOnd'rouse earth, and all its pride
Will vanish with the sun;
The moments fly on lightning's wings,
And hic's uncertain too;
We've none To waste OH foolish things
"There's work enough to do"
