Romance of the Steam Engine.

Viewing one of these gigantic engines to
be seen in some of our steamers, who will
deny that there is something awfuily grand
in the contemplation Of it? Stand amidst
its ponderous beams and bars, its wheels
and cylinders, and watch their unceasing
play, how regular, yet how wonderful! A
lady, Geneva watch is not more nicely ad-
justed, the rush of the waterfall is not
more awful in its strength. Old Gothic ca
thedrals and ruined abbeys, are solemn
places, teaching solemn lessons touching So
lemn things, but to the contemplative mind,
a steam engine can preach solemn lesson,
too it can tell him of mind welding matter
at its will it can tell him of intellect bat
ting with the elements; it can tell him OF
genius to invent, skill to fashion, and perse-
verance to finish No man knows the pow
ers of his own mind until they have been
exercised. Thousands have sunk into an
obscure grave, in whose soul the living flIe
of poetry, or the bright sparks OF genius
lay hidden and lost, which merely wanted
education to cause them to shed lnsler over
their race. And in some retired spot, may
remain the mortal tenement, from which the
soul of an Arkwright, Scott. Davy, a
Watt, or Webster may have fled, which
merely wanted education and opportunities
for this development. And ought it not to
be lesson to those who laugh at novelties,
and put no faith in invention to think that
the mighty steam engine-the triumph OF
art and skill, was once the laughing-stock OF
jeer.ng thousands, and once the waking no
ton of boys mind, as he sat, and in
seeming idlcness, mused upon q small CO.
lumn Of steam spouting from teaketfle.-

The SEASON AND TIE CRoPS.-Ihc adv.ces
generally from all parts of the country in
regard TO the growing wheat crop, are Of
the most cheering character, particularly Of
the Western states. including Kentucky,
Tennessee. Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Since our last issue we have travelled over 4
thousand or fifteen hundred miles over por-
tons of some Of these StGtes, and We are
sure we have never seen winter grain look
more promising. In the carly part Of May
the weather was dry and cold; Oh the Sth
and 9Th days Of the month there was frost
in many places, pat We believe not suffi-
cionily severe TO Kill the fruit. Some Of the
more tender vegetables, in low situations
were slightly injured. The effect OF this
weather III some portions Of Kentucky, has
caused the wheat to head ont very low but
more recent changes, both in regard to tenn
peratCre and rain Will lead to full develop
ment OF the head. We apprehend but one
cause OF injury now, to which the wheat
crop is liable, and that is an excess of rain,
just before maturity, which may produce
rust. But according to the opinion Of old
farmers, after severe winter, attended with
an abundance Of snow, wheat is seldom cf
iected by rust.
We hear much complaint among the farm
e-s OF their seed corn not vcgetatIng. This
is owing to the effects Of excessive frost up
on the grain which was not entirely exempt
from moisture Many farmers have been
compelled to repiant whole fields. B!lley
Barnhil, farmer Of Henry county, Ky,
sent US communication on the subject re.
comuending caution in selecting seed corn,
on this account, but his letter was received
too late for insertion in our April number Of
the valley Farmer and we handed it over
to the weekly papers - Valley Farmer 81.

THE CLIMAX REAcuED.-Of all the inven-
tions that ever were invented, the following
invention beats everything, except the chap
who originated it. A Paris correspondent
writes: t" A great experiment, attended with
the most satisfactory results, was tried a
few DAYS ago at Vincennes, in the presence
of General Lahitte and the officers of the
fort The secret of COMPRISING and govern
ing electricity is at length discovered, and
that power may therefore, now be consider
ed as the sole motive power herceforward to
be used A small mortar was fired by the
inventor at the rate Of hundred shots a
minute-without flashing, smoke or noise.
The same power can, it seems, be adapted
to every system Of mechanical invention,
and is destined entirely to supercede steam,
requiring neither machinery nor combusti-
ble. A vessel propelled by this power is
said to skim the water like bird, and to
fear neither storm nor hurricane. The in
ventor had already petitioned for line Of
steamers from LOrient to Norfolk, U. S.,
which passage he promises to accomplish in
eight and forty hours -"

To MEASURE HAY ~ Mows.-The editor OF
the Neto Jersey Farmer says that he has
proved the following rule for finding the
hqRskSses sks fioN Rf sPqf 81 bbsT p PEI Szsn tG!s
which has been filed with hay, as il was
drawn from the field, and has been lying till
spring, and measure the length, breath, and
height in feet-multip!y them to get the
cubical contents. For instance--th- length
is % feet, breadth 40 feet, and height Is
feet-20 times 40 makes 500, multiplied by
l6, equal TO y $40 cubic feet. which, being
divided by 700, the number Of feet that
make ton Of 1000 lbs. will give IS tons
900 lbs. The top OF NOW, say about one
third, we rate at 500 feet to the ton, the
middle 700 feet, and the bottom Of the NOW
at G0O-so the whole bulk would average
700 iee,, if the NOW is IL or - feet deep,
but if only ) or 6 feet deep, count 500 fee;
for ton, and SO accordingly with other
bulks."

The VArIcAN.-The word is often used,
but there arc many who do not understand
its import. The term refers to collection
Of buildings on one Of the seven hills OF
Rome, which covers space Of 1900 feet in
length, l,l0O feet in breadth. It is built on
the spot once occupied by the garden OF the
cruel Nero. 1t owes its origin to the Bishop
of Rome, who in the early part Of the sixth
century erected an humble residence on IT'S
site. About the year 1850, Pope Eugenlu.
rebuilt it on magnificent scale. innocent

TRIAL OF RYApERs ASp MowERs.-S

TRIAL OF RRAPERS AED MowERS.-Soine
weeks since we stated that trial Of Reapers
and Mowers, on very extensive scale, would
be held at the approaching harvest, under
the direction Of the State Agricultural Soci-
ETY.. The las. number CT the Prairie Farm
er SAYS:
The requisite number of entries have
been made for trial Of Rcaping and Now.
ing Machines. In order that all nanu.actar-
ers may have an opportunity to enter, the
time has been extended to the 9th day of
June. Those who have not already enter
ed, can do SO by addressing the Correspond
ing Secretary at Prairie Farnler Office, Chi
cago. The various places az whi-h the trial
is to be held, have not yet been determined
Those who desire to have the trial in their
county, are requested to make their wishes
known to the Corresponding Secretary, so
that th superintendent may be able to de-
terrnine at what places the trial will take
place."
We are glad to see that q thorough trial
of Reapers and Mowers is to take place, and
we trust that the farmers Of Illinois will af-
ford every facility to the State Agricultural
Society, in order to have full and efficient
exhibition and test of this class Of machines.

He attempted merely to introduce proviso
against the construction that Congress as

for the acquisition Of Louisiana, which Sc.
cures to the Inhabitants of the ceded Terri

Louisiana was purchased as a country when
slavery was the established law of the land.
