Craft schools Wanted.
From scribner. for May.l mann \

From Scribner. for May.I
To remedy this aimlessness and un-
fitness for life with which our education
leaves our youth, we need more craft
schools, where our boys can become
practical engineers, chemists, printers,
machinists, and even farmers. The
maehinist would be none the worse if
he should spend his evenings over Eu-
cid instead Of lager the blacksmith, if
he knew how 10 drive home and clinch
an argumentin metaphysics as skillfully
as a horseshoe nail; or the dentist, if he
could extract hidden Greek roots with
the same facility as grumbling molars.
Educated men would dignity any Of these
employments, and make them sought and
not stunned by those worthy to fill them.
A man who wants TO run an engine ought
to be educated for his business, just as
much as a lawyer for his profession. We
are a patient and long-sufering people,
or we would never permit ourselyesto be
blown up by hundreds by ignorant engi-
neers, who know nothing more of the
monsters which they control than enough
to feed them with wood and water, and
oil up their creakiug JOINTS or suffer
ourselves to be sent to our graves by
stripEngs in short jackets, who give us
arsenic for paregoric, and strychnine for
the elixir of life. The time is coming,
and we trust is not far distant, when all
these positions Of responsibility will be
filled BY men OF education, and can be
filled by none others; when ignoramuses
will be obliged either to fit themselves
for their proposed labors, or seek other
employments. .f-

many admirers Of Keats who would viii
lingly subscribe their mite, in order to
mark by some enduring memorial the
abode where death fed on the mute
voice of the singer Of Adonais. Apropos
OF Keats, let me repeat little anecdote
which was told nae of him, the other day,
by Mr.. Severn, the late much re-
spected consul here, in whose arms
the poet died. Like ordinary NOR
tails, even poets must eat; and
Keats was intensely disgusted at
the horrid food each day put before him.
The dinner was always sent in from a
neighboring trattoria.' Day by day it
grew worse and worse, until the patience
Of the poet was quite exhausted. He
would willingly have abused the land
lord, but there were difficulties in the
way, so at last he hit on the following
expedient One day, when Mr.. Severn
was to dine with him, and the dinner
was brought in as usual, Keats deliber-
ately took up one dish after the other
and emptied them all out of the open
window into the Piazzi di Spagna. This
eloquent silence had the desired effect,
and from that day forward the dinners
were excellent.

"a south wind Longing.

Here is something timely and deli
eions from Warmers Backlog Stu
dies" in the April number of Scribner's:
Perhaps the influence of the four great
winds on character is only Q taRcied
one; but it is evident on temperament
which is not altogether g matter Of tenn
perature, although the good old deacon
used to say, in his humble, simple way
that his third wife was a very good wo-
man, but her temperature was very dill
ferent from that Of the other two. The
north-wind is full of courage, and puts
the stamina Of endurance into a man,
and it probably would into woman too,
if there were a series Of resolutions pass
ed to that effect The west wind is hope
ful; it has promise and adventure in it,
and is, except to Atlantic. yoyagers
America-bonnd, the best wind that ever
blew. The east wind is peevishness; 1t
is mental rheumatism and grumhling,
and curls one up in the chimney corner
like a cat. And if the chimney ever
smokes it smokes when the wind sets in
that quarter. The south wind is full Of
longing and unrest, of effeminate sug-
gestions, Of luxurious ease, and perhaps
we might say of modern poetry-at any
rate, modern poetry needs q change Of
cir. am not sure but the south is the
most powerful of the. winds, because Of
its sweet persqasiysRsss: Nothing SO

The young lady said it was exceedingly
difficult to write the next two lines, be-

probably the reason we have so many
poems which seem to have been begun

ANOTHER KENTUCKY WONDER.
A Natural Bridge In Carter County
which Outrivals Vfrgtnia's Geo
logical wonder.


A correspondent of the Taylorsville
Ky Index gives the following account
of natural bridge up in the mountains
which in some of its proportions, at
least, exceeds in curious interest the
celebrated Virginia geological cenforma-
ton of the same nature:
In Carter county, KY, there is a great
curiosity called the Natural Bridge,
which we'll repsys visit to those at
traeted by strange and sublime scenery.
1t spans a stream called Little Carry,
which falls into Little Sandy river. This
bridge is two hundred and nineteen feet
in the span, one hundred and ninety-six
feet high, twelve feet wide and five feet
thick in the middle and thirty feet at
the ends, being afched underneath and
level on the top One hundred feet be-
low it there is cascade with fall of
seventy-five feet, and two miles distant
there. is another cascade with fall of
two huadred feet. From the bottom of
the ravine a spruce pine has grown up
to the hight of four feet above the
bridge, making its entire hight two hun
dred feet. The sides of the ravine are
so rugged that, were il not for natural
stairway, person on the top of the
bridge wishing to get under it would
have to walk two miles. 1t is interest
ing to compare the dimensions of this
bridge with those of the celebrated Natu-
raj Bridge of Virginia, which is ninety
feet in the span, eighty feet wide, fifty feet
thick, and two hundred and twenty feet
high The bridge is not the only natural
wonder of the neighborhood. In its vi
cinity are two streams known as Big
Sinkey and Little Sinkey, which
emerge from the ground good-sized
streams, and after course of about
two miles again disappear. There is
also an artesian well which formerly
threw up jet about four feet high, of
the size of common barrel; but, hav-
ing been obstructed by stones and trunks
OF trees thrown into it by persons desi-
rons Of finding out its depths, it now
only plays to the hight of a foot above
the level of the pool. Some years ago,
in the month Of August, the writer en-
countered an enormous rattlesnake
crossing the road near the bridge In
length he just reached across the road,
and in thickness he seemed to measure
in the middle Of the body about as much
as an ordinary churn. tied my horse,
got some good rocks and tried my best
on him; but my volley only caused him
to make the woods ring with his rat
ties. So not liking the look of his eye, !
mounted my horse and made flank
movement leaving my hero in posses
sion Of the field l told an old citizen
what l had seen He said: " Signs Of
that snake have been found there for
twenty years" / suppose he lived in
one of the large caves around the bridge.
