THE GREATEST STEAM INVENTION YET.
Baton Rouge Gazette, under the
above heading, has the following:
VIM. St Martin, of this city, has inven-
ted an engine, which can be constructed,
boiler ard all, for $50. The machine is SO
simple that we might with propriety, say it
is merely an escape pipe, taking up ITO more
room. The steam is admitted into the GEN.
tire of drum or cylinder, in which the
shaft works; from this, the power is applied
directly without further friction. The
other day we saw the perfected model of the
engine, pumping water about twenty feet,
and throwing it into reservoir at the
brewery. This is the apparatus wanted,
for getting in cheap manner, one or two
horse power, to drive small machinery
Mr.. st. Martin has made application for
letters patent, and when he gets them, we
think he has fair prospect ahead to realize
something from the result Of his genius.

Rattling of the Beans.

by thy side, and shelling beans, gazed on
on thee. and felt wondrons pride, In ST.
lence leand we DER the pan, and neither
spoke a word, but the rattling of the beans,
Kate, was all the sound we heard. Thy au-
burn curls hung down, Kate and kissed thy
lily cheeks;azure eyes half filled with tears,
bespoke spirit meek. To be SO charmed
as was then had e'er before occurred, ,wheE

A RELIC OF THE REvoLUTIoN.--The
Farmville (Va.) Journal notices small
parcel Of wheat which is more than three
quarters of century old, and the history
of which is not without interest. The
Journal says: "During our Revolutionary
struggle, there stood near Rocky Run
Church, in the county of Amelia, a mill, at
which flour for the use of the American
troops was made. Near the mill was a
large granary, in which much Of the wheat
waiting to be ground was stored. When
Tarleton and his fierce Dragons were raw
aging the south side counties, plundering
farm houses, and insulting and frightening
defenceless women and children, they heard
Of the stores of wheat in this mill and gran
ary, and rightly supposing their destruc-
tion would be severe blow to the rebels,
set fire to the building, both of which, with
their contents, were entirely destroyed
Neither mill nor granary was ever rebuilt,
and though seventy-six years have elasped
since they were destroyed by the ruthless
soldiery of Britain, the places where they
stood are easily to be discerned by the
BACKED and charred appearance Of the
earth. 1t was in turning up this earth a
few weeks since that Col. Foster procured
the sample of wheat left with us. 1t bears
the marks of the fire, being charred and
shriveled, and yet it has the appearance of
having been of very good quality"

A Touching Anecdote.

The Knckerbocker's Editors Table for
January, has the following
"In Metropolitan crimina court, eight
years ago, a poor woman, whose boy had
been sentenced to long term in the peni-
tenliary, for some not well proved offence,
said:
Won't your Honor give him shorter
term? He is good boy to me, your Honor
he always was, I've inst made him some
nice clothes, your honor, which fit him beau
tifully, (and she looked as she said this, as
only mother can look at her boy) and if
you give him long time TO stay in prison,
the clothngs won't fiji him when he comes
out, for he's CROWN boy" Poor mother
she had saved much for her )Grom her
scanty earnings TO elothe her boy like the
neightbor's children" This was too much
for her son. He lted-and wept--he
repented-he was forgiven. And he is now
one of the most promising and honorable
young merchants in our city. Every word
of this is true, and known to be SO to very
many persons"

Very Respectfully,
Fl. B. HOWARD.

CAMEL HowITzER ON ITS TRAvELs.-
Before our people were awake TO the ma
ture of the East India 'mutiny,' an ingeni-
GUS Kentuckian came here with a model Of
a camel howitser, which he wished the gov
ernment to adopt in its wars with the In
dians. 1t certainly seems capable of kill
ing and soaring sovages to any extent, if set
to spouting from the tall back Of grim and
unknown monster like the camel; but it
never was put on that duty. But 10! the
Inventor vanished with the camel howitzer
as Suddenly as he came. After passing an
evening with an accomplished Russian
genllemun, he was seen no more. He was
not foulH deaf with, it appears, for his
wife and family have, been made conforta-
Bile, and his partner in the howitzer enter
prise received letters from him, which hint
that he is enroute to Asia, on a very satis-
factory engagement.
Ths Russian Minister repudiates the
idea that he or his government have any,
thing to do with the disappearance of the
howitZer man, but he admits that there are
Sections Of British India in which a score
hpf. these portable peace-makers would set
Itle the fate of large,districts. Well mount
ed, capable, like the camel, Of living on a
handful of beans day, and going without
water a week together, they would make a
feature in the Anglo Indian war. They
are exactly within range of the native taste
and comprehension. Still, do not say the
inventor has been sent there TO issue re-
turn cards for the British visit TO the Cri-
mea-a although l cannot learn that he has
gone anywhere else.--[ Washington Letter.
CoPPER AND PEARLS IN MINNEsoTA.--
A gentleman has shown the editor Of the
St. Paul Democrat specimens Of native
copper, of the purest quality, found at ST.
Croix Falls. One piece has large guam
tity of pure silver in it. While fishing in
the river, he noticed that the clans were
similar to those that the Jersey pearls were
found in, and gave the hint to the hoatmen
and the result was, in two or three days
they found two or three hundred, varying
from the sige Of pins head to a pea
The river, at the falls, is filed with the
fresh ater clans, and the St. Croix pearl.
may soon be as celebrated as the Jerseys.

What a Woman can Do.

As wife and mother, woman can make
the fortune and happiness ofher husband and
children; and even if she did nothing else,
surely this would be sufficient destiny. BY
her thrift, prudence and tact, she can secure
to her partner and herself a competence in
old age, no matter how adverse fate my &C.
casionally be theirs. BY her cheerfulness
she can restore her husbands spirit, shaken
by anxieties Of business. By her tender care
she can often restore him to health, if dis
ease has seized upon his overtasken powers.
BY her counsel and her love,sh can win him
from bad company, il temptation in an evil
hour has led him astry. By her example,
her precepts ,Snd her sex's insight into char
ac,er, she can mould her children, however
diverse their dispositions, into good and no
BILE men and women. And, by leading in
all things true and beautiful life, she can
refine, elevate, and spiritualize all who come
within reach, so that, with others Of her
sex emulating and assisting her, she can do
more to regenerate the world than all the
statesmen or reformers that ever legistated
She can do as much, alas! perhaps even
more, to degrade man, if she chooses TO do it.
Who can estimate the harm that woman
has the power to do2 As wife. she can
ruin her husband by extravagance, folly, or
want Of affection. She can make devil
and an outcast Of man, who might other
wise have become good member ol socie-
ty. She can bring chickering's, and strife
into what has been happy home. She can
charge, into vile men, and even viler women.
She can lower the moral tone Of society it's
self, and thus pollute Legislation at the spring
head. She can, in fine, become an instru-
ment Of evil instead Of angel Of good. In
stead of making flowers Of truth, purity,
beauty and spirituality spring up in her
footsteps, till the whole earth smiles with
loveliness that is almost celestial, she can
transform il to black and blasted desert,
covered with the scorn Of all passions, and
swept by tho bitter blasts of everlasting
death. This is what woman can do for
the wrong as well as for the right. Isher
mission little one? Has she ne, ''worthy
work." as has become the cry oflats? Man
may have harder task TO perforn, rough.
er path to travel, but he has none loftier or
more influential than woman's.- Advocate

The Last Hours.

&Hew ,hs sound of the last hour thrills
throughmy heart. l remember the last
hour spent with my mother. All, how
well! 1t is printed on my memory so inef-
faceably that it will remain till my last hour
shall come. 1t was night. The moon was
shining bright in her chamber. All around
was calm and still. We talked of loved
ones who had departed from us; and as we
each felt that we were all that was left, tba.
one after another had left our family cirele;
there was that feeling of sympathy only
felt between mother and child. 1t wds tne
last hour. The morning shone upon hef
corpse beautiful ii deatf with that same
sweet smile resting upon her features
which had bid me Good night my child
These last hours are the previous gems
Of the memory. How they come 10 the
mind Of the mother, who has watched the
'lsst hours over lovely babe as the ten
drills by which it clung to earth, where it
has dwelt SO little, SO very little was bro
ken.
And there is to be last hour 10 us on
Garth; but there is joyous thought which
consoles US, that the last hour here opens
to first hour, in bright, perfect eternity.
Hope bids the weeping mourners over the
last hours Of loved ones too look forward to
n Meeting where no tlast hour shall ever
come.

Shelter for Stock.

Soon the cold storms Of winter will be
here, and provision should now be made, if
it has not been, to shelter all the stock. Il
10 not only cruel but it is the worst eoonomy
to subject stock to the cold winter weather
without shelter. So see to it, brother, far
msrs, that you provide good warm shelter
for yOnr cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, They
will keep much easier and thrive much fas-
ter if they have comfortable quarters. Re-
collect, "a merciful man is merciiul to his
beast" Valley Farmer.

DIsTANcE OF THE Sun FROM THE EARTH
The German journals have given some
tables which prove that the distance be-
tween the earth and sun is increasing an
nually, and argue from it that the inoreas-
ing humidity of our summers, and the loss
of fertility by the earth, are TO be attributed
solely to this circumstance. No credit has
heretofore been given to tradition of ancient
Egyptians and Chinese, according to which
these people formerly said the ssn's disk
was almost four times as large as we now
see ii; for they estimated the apparent di-
ameter of the sun as double of what 1t is
seen in our day. If, however, we pay at
tention to the continued diminuition of the
apparent diameter of the sun, according to
the best observations for several centuries,
we must suppose that the ancients were not
mistaken in the estimates they have trans
mitted to us. In the course Of six thou
sand years from the present time, they as
sumo that the distance will be SO great that
only an eighth part of the warmth we now
enjoy from the sun will be communicated to
the earth; and it will then be covered with
eternal ice, in the same manner as we now
see the plains of the north, where the ele-
phant formerly lived, and have neither
spring nor autumn.

a Sailors Opinion of Missions.

Said Rev. Mr.. Mcleod, at a meeting of
the London Missionary Society, "Having
read, in the account Of some voyage, things
to the discredit of missions, l shortly after
met with the captain of a ship that voyaged
to the South seas, and asked him, "Do
you think that missions have done much good
in the South seas?' He looked at me and
SAID, i do not know what you know about
mis- sions, but will tell you a fact. Last
year was wrecked OH one of those islands,
and l knew that eight years before an A
merican whaler had been shipwrecked on
the same island; that the crew had been
murdered; and no doubt you may Judge of
my feelings when we anticipated that we
should either be dashed to pieces on the
rocks during the night, or, if we survived
till morning, subject to dreadful death. As
soon as the day broke, saw number ol
canoes manned, pnlling away between the
island and the ship. We prepared for the
worst consequences. Judge of our amaze
ment when the natives came on board ir
European dress, and spoke to us in Eng.
