Engines Reversed.

From the following it appears that
the operations on the U. G. r. r. will
hereafter be carried on in both direc-
tions. Nh G. J. Brown must certainly
be a very benevolent creature:
A New PRoJEcT-The Detroit Free
Press says an enterprising Southerner
named G. j. Brown has opened an Office
in Detroit, with the view of rendering
material assistance to such negroes as are
disposed to return to their masters at
the South Mr.. Brown states (the Press
says) that che has made such investiga-a
tions in Canada, especially in Chatham
and other places where Africans most
congregate, as satisfy him that large
numbers of them are anxious and ready
to return to their masters at the South
if they only had the mea ms; and he pros
poses to furnish them with transporta- !,
ton tickets, and to send them in COM
pany with an agent, looking to their
owners for remuneration for his beneyo-
lence. He is evidently a man of nerve
and determination, and is possessed of
the means to carry ont his project. -

Able to Hold hts oal

A little affair happened the other day,
not thousand miles from this; place, ,
which is too good to be lost. DIR. A.
called on one of our farmers and asked
him the price of oats, and was informed
that they were worth thirty five cents
per bushel. He agreed to pay forty
cents on condition that he should be per-
mitted to tramp them in the half bushel.
To secure the bargain he paid for twelve
bushels, and the next day took his
wagon and went after them The farmer
filled the half bushel, after which Mr..
A. got in and gave them mostyyigorous
tramping, contracting their. proportions
considerably. The farmer thereupon
emptied the oats into the bag without
filling up the measure. Mr.. A. ra5ed,
but it was no use; the farmer had com
piled with his part of the agreement, and,
as an evidence, told Mr.. A. after he had
measured the oats he might tramp them
all day.-Harrisburgh Patriot. s iss,Es.

THE WINDS.

Ihe. anclents believed that the winds
'sued from a cavern at the command OF
jove, and that they we've under the con-
'rol OF four deities, to whom the
phenicians, Greeks, and others erected
temples. We now, however, know that
he wind is merely air in state of mo-
tion. and that by waving the hand to
md fro, or blowing our breath, we may
produce wind on a small SCALE When
the air, at any particular place, is heated
by the direct action of the suns rays or
radiation, it rises because of it's lightness,
and the cold air from the surrounding
localities rushes in to fill its place. A
common door will illustrate this; if we
partially open the door of a warm room
and hold the light near the top, the
fame will be blown outward by the
heated air escaping; and if we hold the
light near the bottom, the fame will be
blown inward by the cold air that is
rushing in to supply the place of the
heated air that has escaped. In par
ticular parts of the tropical regions,
where the air becomes highly heated by
the sun, there is constant rushing of
air to these points, from east to west,
and this causes the trade uinds, socalled
because taken advantage Of by merchant
men on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
They blow in the same direction for
months together. -
This action of the sun on vast
areas of.land and water produces several
other important winds, such as the mon
soons, which blow from the south to
north, being trade winds turned round
by the heart of land lying within the
tropics; the simeon is a burning blast
that rushes over the Arabian deserts,
carrying in its wings fine sand, and des-
troying all that venture to oppose its
power. The hdrmattan is cold, dry
wind, frequent in Africa, and is nearly
as dangerous as the simoons. The
sirocco visits Italy, with pot, moist and
relaxing blast from the African shores
of the Mediterranean; and ,ohirIUinds and
tornddoes are common to all climates,
but most destructive in hot ones.
Notwithstanding the seemingly terri
bic nature Of these winds, they, with the
milder ones, have important parts to
play in the great economy of nature, in
dispensing the clouds over the surface
of the earth, and purifying the atmos-
phere from noxious vapors and ef1uvia;
they also disperse the seeds of plants,
and, as aids to civilization, impel ships
across the seas, aud machinery
