TNHE Plough which now offer to the public
Il has sn the improvements which I have been
able to make after four years laborious study and
experiment. It has been tested with the best /
could find in extensive travels ii the North and
West and whether on following Lands, throwing
up Cotton Ridges. cultiyating crops or blowing
in small grain, its superiority has been acknowl,
edged by nearly all who have seen it tiled.
At is usually made of cast iron. The blades are
let into the standard by a doyetsil, the lower Sc
cured by the poiat and the upper by an iron
wedge over it-making the blades stronger and
saving expense of two Bolts. The standard,
bolted ON the side of the beam, has three or moro
bolt holes for adjusting the beam, and a psojec-
ton over the beam for siren gthening it. The end
Of the handles and the long Landslide are both
secured by a single bolt to the short Landslide.
Inspection of the Plough, alone, viii show that
tits cheaper, lighter. stronger and will wear much
longer than any other and with proper points
and blades, made adjustable otherwise, of steel,
cast or wrought iron, the size and form are readi-
ly changed.
The difference between the ordinary mold board
with its broad surfs ce to scour, turning the land
over in an unbroken mass, and cutting blades to
pare off and tighten the furrow slice, lessen the
friction and pulyerize the soil, is so apparent that
almost all who examine my Plough declare it to
be a great improvement.
The castings of one. horse Ploughs weigh from
Is to 25 lbs, and two or three horse from 40 to
so lbs. A Bolts are sufficient for q Plough.

SHORT METRE PRAYER.-Rev. Mr.. Derwell,
a pious and curious old Methodist Minister,
went from Tennessee to Kentucky, in 1912,
to visit his relative, Hon. VIM. Bolton. The
man was not a religious man, but was a gen.
tleman, and invited the minister to have fami-
ly worship every evening. While he was
visiting there, Judge Cone and his wife, from
Nashville, arrived there to pass the night,
and Mr.. Bolton, being a little embarrassed,
said to the old minister, as he brought out
the Bible, that he 'had better be short, as the
Judge was probably not accustomed to such
things.
very well, very well" said he, and read
ing asingle verse, ne knelt down and prayed:
20 Lord, we are very poor and needy crea-
lures, and We know that Thou art able to sup
ply all our wants, but Cousin William says
that Judge Cone and his wife from Nashville
are here, and are not used to family worship,
and however needy we are, there is 70 time
to spare in telling Thee our wants. Amenl'
The Judge was taken all aback, and so was
Cousin William. They both pressed the ole
gentleman to conduct the services in his owr
way, which he did, to their great qualification

CHRISTIAN CHILDREN.-Nothing is more
beautiful than piety in a child. A few
weeks since an interesting little girl was
brought to the Massachusetts, Hospital, in
Boston, to be subjected to a very severe
surgical operation, the only thing that
could save her life. AS the medical profes-
sor, in the presence of his class, placed her
OIL the surgical table, she lay down, and
clasping her hands together and lifting up
her eyes, exclaimed, 30, Jesus, know thou
lowest me, and if | die, l shall 60 right

SO much affected that he could not proceed

Bashful women are not always the most
modest. Prudery is often assumed rather to
keep off suspicion of criminality itself. There
is a degree of reserve which, like vaulting
ambition, overleaps itself.
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1859-04-27

is nottreated with that respect which
is due to the power of her affection, nor
with that d~elicacy of truth which is due to
the power of her influence. She is yet, as
she has been, imposed upon, and oftentimes
befooled, by three several classes who pro-
less for her the utmost friendship.
Sentimental poets have We'd with each
other in praising the iustre of her external
charms, and novelists have endeayored to
show her that she has no home save in the
sphere ofthe imagination. The women of
our lyric poets, and of,our romance writers,
are generally impossible monsters, whom
the world never saw and never will see.-
They who yield to the seductive glare in
which the figures of female character are
made to move by many popular writers,
will find alas too often, that they have
gone into a garden to Gull flowers, and have
been bitten by the adder that coiled him
self beneath the bloom. From G woman
that reads nothing else than romance-we
say, in the language of the Prayer Book,
"Goed Lord deliver u.s."
Another class who have undertaken what
they style the emancipation of woman,
seem to resemble very nearly the tabled
Centaurs OF old. The Centaurs had heads
and necks OF horses. and legs of a more
boisterous animal. So we have those who
make TIE rustling Of crinoline to be sufi-
Gent protection for the display Of brazen
impudence and unwomanly arrogance
FORMULATING the land, they brawl with
as much energy in public as they have
been wont to exhibit in the homes which
were no longer able to contain them
Thus they make themselves--and not on
ly themselves, but, to a degree, their sex
targets of reproach.
There is still another class who, with
feigncd friendship, pretend to honor wo
man. We mean that class with smooth
faced and polished villains who have stud
led tiattery as an art, and deception as
business who, with lying words upon thei
tongues, Satanic guile in their hearts, ar,
very ready to initiate the imagination O
woman with a fatal sense of her beauty an,
then treat her as though she had n
brains to distinguish truth from error, an,
no heart to love virtue and God.
Our Libraries are filled with Geographic
of remarkable women" But while W
admire their virtues and excellencies, W
should not forget that woman's appropriat
sphere of duty and labor is home. Aroun
the domestic hearth, and in the family CT
Gle, her influence, silent, unobtrusive, is be
seen and felt in moulding the characters
those to whom the interests of society, h
mainly and religion are to.be entrusted
When woman steps out of the home sphel
and occupies the place belonging to Il
other sex, though she may thereby acqui
notoriety, or even a name "to live in hist
ry," she does an incalculable injury to h
whole sex, by unsettling their minds in
spect to the true objects of life, and re
dering them restless and dissatisfied in t
> quiet cultivation of the domestic virtu
y. and the performance of those duties viii
cluster around home. Heroic women!
They may win our admiration, but ne
our love. True greatness is ever associat
e with goodness.
