there ia no use Of holding on for sn advance

the coming season, there Y cutting short
the supply, and as consequcu getting an

good in all departments Of trade. The sup.
ply of foreign and domestic dry goods is In
much the same condition; but instead of
holding on for former prices have made a
reduction, aud would most respectively an.

New STEAM PLow.-The New Orleans
Pscayune thus notices new invention by
one of its citizens We are glad to record
the invention by citizen of New Orleans,
Mr.. J. G. Delavigne, of a most important
implement in agriculture. 1t is steam
plo,w, not like that of Fowler, exhibited at
our Fair, which consisted in two engines
placed on opposite sides of the feld, and
drawing the plows back and forth, but run,
ming with its work through the field, and
being, therefore, far more simple, less
weighty and less costly, both to operate and
to purchase. 1t is an ordinary portable
steam engine, placed upon a platform, Of
which it becomes the motor, and which sup
ports the operators, who guide it from the
engine and attend to the plows, cultivators
or harrows, which can be attached in the
rear. The simplicity of the arrangement
is greatly in favor Of it, and we trust the
inventor will have an early opportunity Of
showing it's effectiveness.

CHEAP WASH FOR BUILDINGs.-Take

CHEAP WASH FOR BUILD1NGs.-Take a
clean, water-tight cask and put into it half
a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring wa
ter over it boiling hot, and in sufficient
quantity to cover it five inches deep, and
stir it briskly till thoroug bly, slackened.
When the lime has been slackened, dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate
of zinc and one pound of common salt
These will cause the wash to harden and
prevent its cracking, which gives an un-
seemly appearance to the work. A beauti-
full cream color may be given to the wash
by adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or
q good pearl or lead color by the addition
of lump of iron black. For fawn color
add four pounds umber, one pound of lndi-
an red, and one pound common lamp black.
For stone color add two pounds umber and
two pounds lamp black. When applied to
the outside of houses and to fences, it is
rendered more durable by adding about
pint of sweet milk to a gallon of wash

A BAsHFUl LovER.-Cousin Kate was a
sweet, wide-awake beauty of about seven
teen, and she took it into her head to 60
down to Long Island to see some relatives.
Among these relatives there CHANGED to be
a young swain who had seen Kate on pre-.
vious occasion, and fallen deeply in love
with her. He called at the house on the
evening of her arrival, and she met him on
the piazza, where she was enjoying the all
ircompany with two or three of her friends.
The poor fellow was so bashful that he
could not find his tongue for some time
At length he stammered out:
ssHow's your mother ?"
ssQuite wen, thank you"
Another silence on the part of Josh, du-
ring which Kate and her friends did the
best they could to relieve the monotony.
After waiting about fifteen minutes for him
to commence to make himself az greeable, he
broke the silence by
SHOWS your father ?" which was an
swered much after the same fashion as the
last one, and then followed another silence
like the other.
'sHow's your father and mother ?" again
put in the bashful lover.
ssQuite we'll, both of them" This was
followed by an exchange of glances and a
suppressed smile.
This lasted some ten minutes more, du-
ring which Josh was fidgeting in his seat
and stroking his Sunday hat, but at length
another question came
SLOWS your parents :"
This produced an explosion that made
