Agricultural Machinery and its
Results.

Six years since, in Ohio, there were very
few agricultural machines-now there are
an immense number. The effect of ma
chimes in doing the work of men it is hard
ly possible to estimate,
A mower with two horses, two men and
boy, must accomplish the work of at least
twelve men. If so, it must save the labor
of five men at least. Now, we know of
one county which has three hundred and
fifty mowers and reapels, and they must
save the labor of about 1000 men! In the
State at large, there must be about eight
thousand of these machines, thus saving
the labor of 10000 able bodied men,
Supposing that they are employed only
two months in the year, for harvest only,
they will save, in money paid for labor
about 81, 100000, per annum. The inter
est on their cost will be about $4,000 on
ly; so that there will be a net absolute gain
on them of more than two millions per an
mum. If we look to the prairie States, the
saving will be much greater. In the Uni
ted States at large, probably, the labor of
100000 able bodied men is saved during
two months in the year. This is equal in
money TO $2O,OOO,O0O per annum. This
saving, too, is made in the last five years.
But the saving, of money is by no means
the most part of the saving. The econe-
my of labor is in our modern civilization,
of the highest value, without reference to
the money or the market value. We have
already referred, as our readers will remem-
Der, to the tendercies of our present civili-
zation towards Capitalization in cities and
towns.
This is really, and without theory draw
ing large portions of our rural or country
population to the towns. This is dimin-
ishing the agricultural laborers while it in
creases the towns. The consequence is,
that both in America and Europe the rel
ative proportion of cultivators is continual
ly diminished. If we suppose this process
to 60 on like mathematical series without
arrest, the consequence would be ultimate
starvation; but, of course, the preliminary
sympathies of such calamity would be
sufficient to drive many from the cities to
the country, and thus change the current.
Still we must regard the invention and sue
cess of this agricultural machinery as prov
idential interference to avert for a time the
alternative of starving in cities or returning
to the country.-Railroad Record.

of crime that the private repositories hare

wells were taken. One man called 10 an
other, in our informani's hearing, "If you
are saved Frank, send my love to my
dear wife," but the friend appealed to,
answered only with guregl of the throat.
He was washed of; his plank, and perish
ed as his companion spoke. Many were
desirous of separating themselves as far as
possible from the rest, being fearful lest
some desperate struggler might seize hold
of them and draw them under. Others,
afraid of their loneliness, called to their
neighbors to keep together. Generally,
they strove to cheer each other, as long as
they remained within hearing, and when
the roar of the waves drowned all but the
loudest shouting, the call of friendship, or
the cry of despair, was heard in the dis
tance, and infused confidence, or increased
dismay, d . in many falling bosom. IS /.
One man, floating in solitude, and ter
rifed at his loneliness, after shouting him
self hoarse to find a companion. saw at
length a man with two life-preservers fas-
tened about his body drifting towards him.
His heart leapt with JOY at the welcome
sight, for the feeling of desolation which
had overcome him was terrible TO endure.
He called TO the other to join him, if
possible, and made every exertion to meet
him half way. There was no reply, but
the other drifted nearer and nearer. A
wave threw them together. They touch
ed. The living man shrieked in the face
of corpse. The other had been drowned
by the dash of the pillows, Or had perished
from exhaustion.
When rising and falling with the swell
of the waves, the lights of the bark Ellen
were first discerned by the survivors in the
water, the thrill of hope that at once filled
every breast amounted, it may, well be be-
lieved, to perfect ecstasy. Let Mr..
George speak for all. He saws: 81 never
felt so thankful in all my life. 1 never
knew what gratitude was before. do not
know whether l cried or not, but l know
l was astonished to hear my own laughter
ringing in my ears. l do not know why l
laughed. That verse, "God moves in
way, kept passing in and out of
me, rather, as if had been
the pipe of an organ. 1t did not come to
me by my own " ition, but somehow made
me remember it. When the lights ap-
preached nearer, score of voices sprang
up around me, crying, "Ship ahoy," BOAT
ahoy,' and then l began to shout too.

w have made such arrangements with this
education of young ladies of limited means, espe-
cially if they wish to become teachers.
/. Our plan embodies these leading features /:
1st. 1t pr opposes to educate such as are not as ad-
eguately provided for, if provided for ut all, in any
other Female Institute on in the South. I'd. It in
wolves no humiliating conditions. Sd. It is a self
sustaining plan. We are governed as follows, in
regard to applicants for aid. While We do not
confne ourselves to any class, We give the prefer
ence to, LIST, such as can be qualified in one year
to teach. I'd, such as will secure al least one pay
ing pupil for the institution. 3D., the daughters
of ministers of all denominations. We require
full information as to their age, health, experience
in teaching, if any, disposition, manners, pie.y,
and the amount they can pay in advance on their
board and tuition. We will credit a limited num-
Der of first class applicants, when necessary, with
the entire amount of their board and tuition.
II. We will credit many other deserving appli-
cants with all the expense Of their tuition, except
twenty dollars a year. If they will pay their
board, and twenty dollars, annually, on their tu-
ition, and furnish their own books and materials
for ornamentals, we will indulge them for the
balance until they can teach and pay it. Board
is So per month, exclusive of washing. Such
young ladies as prefer II, can do their own wash
ing; and then the expense of board and tuition
to paid in advance, would not be over $40 per
session of FIVE months. The balance would be Oh
time. These loan pupils are entitled to all the
privileges of others in the Institution.
And III. We submit some of the consideration
which should influence all classes to patronize this
Institution: LIST. We have greatly reduced the
cost of female education. We are educating 3
class of young ladies that viii be of great beneft
to all the other pupils. Sd. Our ability to edu
cate this class will be in exact ratio to the patron.
age we receive from others. 4th. We shall hays
teachers of different denominations. 9th. W.
shall employ teachers competent to inetructin al
the branches, solid and ornamental, usually saurb
in the best female institutions of the South. 9Th
Our system of physical training. 7th. Heath
illness Of locality. 8th. The blessing of God which
has attended our first session.
