IMPROVEMENT IN WEAvING.-The
sewing machine is likely to have rival
in an invention recently perfected by
which wearing apparel of all kinds,
shirts, pantaloons, vests, ladies mantles,
Jackets, coats etc, ETC., are both woven
and sewed at the same time. The sewing
of the seams is stronger even than hand
sewing and perfectly smooth and even,
and the articles are woven and sewed of
any pattern, of wool, silk, cotton, or
any other material.

SENATOR WILSON ON THE STUMP
He closed his remarks in recent speech
by an earneat appeal to Virginians to
rally to support of the reconstruction
movement, and pointed out in every for
chile manner the advantages of industrial
as well as political reconstruction. The
address was very practical one, and will
have a good influence, Notwithstanding
it is marked occasionally by some of the
peculiar notions of the speaker.

JERSEY PEACHEs.-Some idea Of
the extent of the peach crop in Del
aware may be obtained from the estimates
now being made by the railroad company
which is preparing to carry them
to market. 1t is thought that the
yield in Kent county alone will be
10000 baskets. This is exclusively Of
the portion laying along the bay and
creeks, which have its natural outlets
by steamboats, and sailing vessels. In
1864, the year noted for its heavy crop,
there was shipped from Smyrna 10000
baskets. This year the railroad CON-
pany gives the quota Of Smyrna at
200, 600.

! In the meantime, the rest of the girl;
had sought the shelter of a grove in al
adjoining field. Missing Kate, two Of
the boldest of them volunteered to &C
and ascertain her fate. AS they came
within sight of the field Of their disas
ter, they were astonished to see Squire
Graves politely assisting Kate over the
fence, which act of gallantry she re.
ceived with much apparent ccmplacency
aud good humor.
| When Kate reached the grove, she
found her companions bemoaning their
several mishaps One had lost a net,
another a shoe, dresses had been drag
gled through the mud and torn in
various places, and their apparel, as a
whole, was in rather dilapidated con-
dition. They were of the unanimous
opinion that Squire Graves was a
"brute,' an "ogre,' a "perfect savage. ,
Kate listened to those anathemas in
silerce though with eyes brimming with
mirth. At last, unable longer to con-
tain herself, she burst forth:
esquire Graves is not to blame.
What do you think girls? He thought
we were boys"
Here Kate sat down upon tle grass
and laughed until the tears rolled down
her cheeks, in which she was joined by
the rest of the girls.
Gle sent humble apologies to you
Iall,' continued Kate, as soon as her
mirth permitted her to speak, "and said
that he should be happy to have us
pick strawberries in his meadow when.
ever we feel disposed to do SO. What
do you think of that?"
"Think," said Josie, with a signif
cant look. 81 think that the perfect
savage has been tanned very suddenly
What kind of charm did you use, eh,
Kate ?"
At this Kate blushed, and for once
was at loss to answer. So she chang
ed the subject by proposing that they
should start for home.
What that blush meant it is impossi-
BILE to say, but this we know, that there
was marked change in Squire Graves
habits and manner; he commenced
calling upon his neighbors, and soon
became as sociable as any of them could
desire, though it must be confessed that
he called at Mr.. Wylde's more frequent
y than he did at any otherplace And
more than this, the very next Thanks
giving eve, there was very pleasant
gathering at Mr.. Wylde's, during which
a certain ceremony was performed, at
the conclusion of which Kate Wylde
existed no longer. Yet, although she
took a graver name, her husband AYERS
(and certainly he ought to know "that
she is the same, merry, provoking crea-
ture that she was when she stole, not
only bis strawberries, out the heart Of
their owner"

GooD FOR THE SHANGHAE.-The

joined story:
A gentleman of this city, during the
planting season, cou nginto his grounds
one morning, observed the gardener
engaged in dropping corn in long drill
across the garden. Straddling the drill.
basket in hand the absorbed Hibernian
moved slowly along, intent only on his
occupation. Close behind him stalked
the immense Shanghae rooster of a
neighbor, accommodating his pace to
that of the dispenser, and carefully
picking up every grain as he went. The
disgust of the gardener, as he took his
hoe and prepared to cover the corn that
wasen't there, may be imagined, but
can't be described.

a DREAM.

Back again, darling: o, day of delight!
How l have longed for you, morning and
night!
Watched for you, pined for you, all the days
through,
Craving no boon and no blessing but you:
Prayed for you. plead for you, sought you
in vain,
Striving for ever to find you again;
Counting all anguish as nought if might
Clasp you again as l clasp you tonight!
Oh have sorrowed and suffered so much
Since last answered your lips loving touch
Through the night watches, in daylight's
broad beams.
Anguished by visions and tortured by
Dreams so replete with bewildering pain,
Still it is thrcbbing in heart and in brain
Oh for 1 dreamed-keep me close to your
side,
Darling, Oh! darling-I dreamed you had
died!
Dreamed that 1 stood by your pillow, and
heard
From your pale lips loves half uttered word
And by the light of the May morning skies
Watched your face whiten, and saw your
dear eyes
Gazing far into the Wonderful Land
Felt your fond fingers grow chill in my hand
Darling" you whispered: My darling !"
you said
Family so family, and then you were dead !
Oh! the dark hours when knelt by your
grave,
Calling upon you to love and to save;
Pleading in vain for a sign or word,
Only to tel me you listened and heard
Only to say you remembered and knew
How all my soul was in anguish for you;
Bitter, despaiiing. the tears l she'd
Darling, Oh darling, because you were deadl
Yet, in the midst of the darkness and pain,
Darling, I knew should find you again
Knew as the roses knew, under the snow,
How the next summer would set them a9low;
So l did always, the dreary days through.
Keep my heart single and sacred to you,
As on the beautiful day we were wed.
Darling Oh ! darling, although you lave fed.
Oh the great joy Of awaklng to know
did but dream all that torturing woe.
Oh the delight my searching can trace
Nothing of GOODNESS or change in your face
Still is your forehead unfurrowed and fair;
None of the light is lost out of your hair;
None of the light from your dear eyes is fed ;
Darling! Oh! how could l dream you were
deads
