A Pendulum LEvEL-UsEFUL INSTRUMENT
MIR CALVIN COLE, Of Tarrytown, \. Y,
has exhibited to us an improvement or the
common spirit level-an instrument of his
own invention, for which he has received q
pa,cnt-which we think our mechanics will
find worthy Of patronage. The leading fca-
ture of the instrument is, that instead Of
determining the level by the ord nary air
bulb, it is indie ated by needle on dial
plate Ike that Of compass or clock. Its
& eat advantage over the common spirit lev
c. is, that by the dial plate, which is marked
off accurately into degrees, not only level
or vertical surface, but also a right or any
otf er angle may be accurately determined
The instrument thus combines in Itself the
properties which are now possessed by three
or four distinct implements which are re-
a. re ~ mechanics.
\ number of these instruments are at
present being manufactured al the establish
ment of Messrs. Cation & Doyle, in Rugs
building, where they can be purchased, and
where Mr. COKE may at present DO found, Of
whom rights for counties may be purchased

THE FIRST KISS.
By MISS P. KNOX.

By MISS P. KNOX,
Nay, ask me not-how could bring
Ny lips to rest on manhood brow,
A maiden may not lightly fling
Her timid nature off, and thou,
Caressed as thou art wont to be,
What were kiss of mine to thee2
"And thou wouldst think that had pressed
Another cheek as soon as thine,
Should allow my liz, to rest
Even lightly as on hallowed shrine
The trembling lips 81 devoted
On thine as pledgeo Of love'to thee"
But then some words Of gentle sound
Were whispered to the maidens heart;
She could not bear his love TO wound
The hour had come when they must part
And she was young, and fond and true;
What could a gentle maiden do?
The spell is broken--she has laid
Her trembling lips against his check;
On hers there is a deeper shade
Of crimson, but she does not speak;
Her voice is hushed-her voice is still
IT'S given half without her will

IoE-HousEs. Now, before the dog
days are gone, and while ice is a CRATE
ful addition to the water pitcher, while
butter melts and meat spoils for the
want Of it, build the ice-house that you
have been thinking of building for sew
eral years. 1t should be reckoned one
of the necessaries Of farm-lfe. II will
more than pay for itself every year MS
long as you use it. Butter, that goes TO
market solid aud waxy with the temps-
ture at 800, is a more saleable article
than butter half melted. Ice-water, con-
stantly used, is healthful and refresh
ing drink. 1t Injuries none but the i'm
prudent, who are not accustomed to is
use. Meats and vegetables, that would
otherwise perish may be kept in an ice
box in the best condition until they per-
ish in o Legitimate way, and with profit
TO the owner The female part OF tho
household want ice. Build an ice. house
this Fall, and gather your own harvest
next Winter.

The CHINESE SUGAR CANE gen.
tleman in New York has sent the editor
of the Posta sample of very good brandy
made from the syrup of the new sugar
plant, the Sorgho or Chinese surar cane.
He says it costs about 30 cents per gall
Ion to produce, and is worth in the mar
ket from 81 TO 81 per gallon, according
to quality. In note he says:
1.-The manufacture Of spirit from the
sorgho may now be carried on by our
farmers in the winter season, when there
is no other occupation for them, at the
rate Of a gallon Of proof spirit for each
gallon of fermented syrup. THIS win
fnG a ready sale at the rectifers, who
will burn it into alcohol for can rhenc
and other purposes The quantity Of
alcohol now used for purposes Of lila
mination alone, to say nothing Of var
nishes, chloroform and medicinal extracts,
is enormous. and was beginning to have
serious effect on the price of bread, ow-
ing to the wholesale destruction Of the
cereals required to produce it. Now,
however, We have found substitute,
which, besides supplying syrup aud al
cohol, will also yield from the same crop
a large amount of forage and grain for
the fattening of stock"
A few days ago, a committee of gem
tlemen examined the mode Of grinding
the Chinese sugar cane on the farm of
Thomas II. Deas, Esq, in South Caro-
lima. The report of the committee is as
follows:
1.-The first fifty stalks taken without
selection either at the field or from the
cart, were passed through the mill in less
than ten minutes, producing over four
and half gallons of juice, The next
twenty-five canes were passed through in
about five minutes, producing nearly two
and half gallons Of juice, carefully
measured, leaving the stalks almost per-
fectly dry.
-" Mr. Deas planted about half an aero
of the cane upon this grew 36, 300 stalks
Of cane. From the experiment of press
ing out this juice, it will be seen that the
yield is greater than perhaps has yet
been reported The half acre will pro-
duce 3,267 gallons of juice or G,535 gall
Ions TO the acre. The experiment Of
boiling has not yet taken place; but al
lowing ten gallons of juice to one Of mo-
lasses, the product Of an acre will be 553
gallons of molasses. This appears 10 DO
a monstrous yield, and at present prices
Of molasses, would be mine Of wealth
to the planter We presume the reason
for the great quantity of juice produced,
is to be found in the character Of the
mill, for it is impossible for any part Of
the liquor to escape; it must al be OK
pressed from the cane, and every drop
is collected"
Mr.. Aaron Davis mas loft at tho of'oe
of the Frederick ND Citizen a couple
of samples Of very nice looking molasses
manufactured by himself from Chinese
sugar cane of the growth Of this season.
The experiment is a practical delnonstr&-
ton of what may be done in the growth
of the cane and the manufacture Of tao
article. The "Citizen" says he used
seven sticks of the cane, and the guam
tity of molasses produced shows that 90
tho same ratio Of yield, an acre of land
would produce about 2 l-2 hhds. or 1G0
gallons.

Coon TEMPER Is GoLD.--If people
generally knew what an advantage to
them it was TO be cheerful, there would
be fewer sour faces in the world, and in
fnitely less ill-temper. A man never
gains anything by exhibiting his annoy
ance in his face, much less by bursting
into a passion. As it is neither manly
nor wise to yield, like a child, pettishly
to every cross, so it is alike foolish and
absurd to allow feelings of anger to de-
prive us of self-control, There never
was man in any controversy, who lost
his temper, that did not come near losing
his cause in consequence If ever a
person plays the game Of his enemies il
is when he is in passion. Acquaint-
ances shun men of proverbially ill-tem-
per; friends drop away from them; even
wives and children gradually learn to
fear them, more than to love. Thous-
ands of men owe their want of success
in life to neglecting the control of their
temper. Nor have they the excuse that
it is an infrmity which cannot be re-
strained; for Washington, though natu-
rally of a most passionate disposition,
disciplined himself until he passed for a
person utterly impassive. No man who
neglects his temper can be happy, any
more than he can make those happy
around him. Good temper is gold, Is
health, is everything. Bad temper is a
curse to the possessor and to society.

THE LOVE OF A CHrID The death OF
a loveha child was mentioned4in our paper
few days ago, and we have just heard
of an incident connected with that event
which touches all the tender feelings OF
the human heart. Among the many
destitute children who daily seek their
food from door to door, is small girl
who frequently went to the house where
the little deceased boy lived. Sometimes
she fingered for few moments, and by
degrees become acquainted with and
attached to this lovely child until final
ly she often remained long while and
shared in its amusements The sequel
shows that during this time an attach
ment was formed the strength and ten
derness of which was only known when
the little one was cold in death The
Governing before the funeral, the little
beggar girl went. to the kitchen the
place she was accustomed to, and remain
ed until after nine o'clock, hoping, as
has since appeared, to get glimpse Of
the corpse of her little friend. When
the procession started for Mount Hope
she was observed by an uncle of the de-
ceased to be near and sobbing as though
her heart was broken, but no one knew
the cause of her grief. Arrived at the
entrance to the place of burial, she was
again seen, having walked and run all
the way, in warm day, the sweat pour
ing from her sun-burnt face and brow
and she painting for breath
She followed ON to the grave, and af.
ter the services of lowering the little
sleeper to his final earthly rest, the APP
parently friendless stranger was question
ed as to the cause of her grief; and ther
for the first time, it was found that sh,
