UNcoNscIoUs INFLUENcE.-The very
handling of the nursery is significant, and
the petulance, the passion, the gentleness,
the tranquility indicated by it, are all re-
produced in the child. His soul is a
purely receptive nature, and that, for a
considerable period, without choice or Sc
lection. A little further on, he begins
voluntarily to copy everything he sees.
Voice. manner, gait, everything the eye
sees, the mimic instinct delights to act
over. And thus we have whole gene
ration of future men, receiving from us
their very beginnings, and the deepest i'm
pulses of their life and immortality. They
watch us every moment in family, before
the hearth, and at the table; and when
we are meaning them no good or evil,
when we are concious of exerting no in
fluence over them, they are drawing from
us impressions and molds of habit, which,
if wrong, no heavenly discipline can
wholly remove; or, if right, no bad asso-
Citations can utterly dissipate. Now it
may be doubted, l think, whether, in all
the active influence of our lives, we do as
much to shape the destiny of our fellow
men, as we do in this single article of
unconscious influence over children.

FARMERS AND THEIR WIVES.


sad young person to lady, who
81. holding her child, snow what good
VIII all your education do youl You
nave spent so much time in study, grad
uated with high honors, learned music and
painting, and now married only a farmer.
Why do you not teach yhool. or do
something TO benefit the world with your
talents: or, il you choose to marry, why
not take a teacher, or a clergyman. or
some professional man? But as it is, YOU
did not need SO much learning for a ru-
raj life."
The lady replied, ayou do not look
very far into the future. Do You see this
boy on my lap? needed all the study,
all the discipline, both of mind and body,
that could possibly get, in order that |
may train him Alright. You see have
the first impressions TO make on the fair
blank of his pure heart, and unless my
mind was first cultivated, my own heart
first purified, how could | we'll perform
the task now set before me! And, be-
sides, do you not suppose that farmers
have hearts like other men, tastes just as
pure, because they guide the plow and
till the soil for its supports Do YOU not
suppose their minds are susceptible Of
cultivation and expansion as other men
Have they no love of the beautiful, in
their nature, Of art? Cannot good paint
ing be just as much admired on their
walls as Others. or does the evening hour
never pass as pleasantly with them, when
they gather round the piano after days

you have made sad mistake in your
reckoning"
Of all the occupations, give mo that Of
the farmer. It's the most beautiful; his
life is freer from care, his sleep is sweeter,
his treasures safer. A farmer need not be
slave of any, for he has none to please
but himself. Not so with any tradesman,
mechanic or professional man. They have
more or less TO do with the world at large,
and have all manner of persons to deal
with; so that they need have Of the pa
tience of Job to live They are well aware
that they must not freely speak their
minds at all times, that if they do they
will lose custom; for they depend upon
the people for a living; therefore they
are the servants of all. Then what can
be desired more, what is moro peaceful,
prosperous, honest, healthful and happy
than farmers life.

TRIAL OF THE wINANs STEAMER.

Yesterday another trial was he'd of the
celebrated Winans steamer, in order 10
test more fully the improvement recently
made, and thus give renewed satisfaction
10 her inventors and proprietors. She
left the Ship-yard at Ferry Bar, and pro.
ceeded down the river some twelve miles,
to Bodkin Bar Buoy, little below North
Point, where an opportunity was had of
testing her power as sea-going vessel in
rough weather. On her way down her
speed was about twelve or thirteen miles
an hour, the engine making between So
and SO revolutions per minute. One hun
dred pounds of steam with an 'early cut
off," was the greatest pressure she had
on during the trip. All parts of the
machinery were accurately fitted togeth-
er, and worked with perfect ease and re-
gularity. During the entire trip down
she encountered strong head wind, and
when near the mouth of the Patapsco
the water became rough, with consider
able swell.
This state of the water was most OPP
perfume, for it gave the builders chance
of settling by experiment what they had
long ago determined in theory, as regards
the probability of her peculiar formation
causing her to roll from side to side.-
Ever since the vessel has been construct
ed, her rolling propensities have been
subject of speculation, and it was sup
posed by many persons that she would
be more liable TO that motion than any
any other vessel on account of her shape
The trial of yesterday, however, dissipated
all doubts. A number of vessels, both
larger and smaller, were met on the way
down, and while they were all rolling, no
perceptible motion Of similar character
was felt in the Winans steamer. She
seemed TO cleave the water without the
slightest difficulty, and passed over or
through the largest waves and swells
without any effect. Where the waves
were the heaviest, she seemed 10 cut thro'
them like an arrow.
On the return trip, the vessel was pro-
PEELED at half speed, merely for the sake Of
experiment. In consequence of being pro-
vided with double rudders,she was enabled
10 turn around in very short space, and
with great rapidity. Proceeding back
up the river, she was run into the basin,
where a great crowd of people were at
tracted TO the wharves TO look at her
She was then taken back to the ship-yard
al Ferry Bar, and manoeuyred about for
some time, in order 10 practice the engi-
neers in their various duties, and princi-
pally to instruct them in stopping the YES
sci in all positions, as occasion might re-
quire. In day or two another trial will
be made with greater amount of steam
power, when her speed will be materially
increased. The Messrs. Winans intend
making series of experimental trips
throughout the entire-summer, in order
to supply all deficiencies, and to make the
vessel as perfect as possible.
