Not long since, as I took my seat in the cars for a day’s ride, I observed, seated opposite me, an elderly lady and a middle-aged gentleman, who, I inferred, from some casual remark, had been travelling a day or two. It was a yery early hour in the morning, and the lady appa rently was sleeping. We rode in silence for some time, when the lady awoke, and I heard the gentleman address her as mother. His dignified, unobtrusive man ner, and the tender, deferential tone of his voice,’ at once drew my attention to them, and haying no company, my eyes and my thoughts were my own. All the tender care which a mother conld be stow on an infant child, were given by that son to his mother. The slightest movement on her part to adjust her furs, or cloak, or over-shoes, or any change of position, called forth his ready hand in assistance, ahd the inquiries, “Are yon comfortable, mother? Do yqu feel tired? Lay your head on my shoulder, and rest yourself.” At noon the cars stopped for the passengers to obtain refreshments. It was snowing too fast for the mother to go out of the cars, and the son brought her a cup of coffee. “Is it just right, mother?” he inquired, as she tasted it. “A little more cream would make it better; it is, however, very good as it is," was her reply. “ let me get you some more.” “No my son, it will make yon too much trou ble; it is very good as it is.” He went out and soon returned with the cream, and poured a little into the coffee, and then a little more, until it was “just right.” He then sat down by her side, and I heard him say, in the same low tone of voice, that at first at tracted my attention, “I am glad, mother, that I can do anything to make you comfortable, it is such a pleasure to me.” “I thank you my son.” she replied, in the same spirit and tone of voice as that of her son. ■ , - Beautiful, thought I, as I quietly watched them, and saw manifested thejrmutuallove and confidence. My mind went back to the time when this son, now in manhood’s strength, was a little helpless infant, and I pictured that mo ther watching over him, caring, fori him.with a solicitude such as mothers only can feel. And trough all the years of childhood and youth, up to manhood, the watchful eye was ever over him, the guiding hand ever toady to lead, and a mother’s love ever ready to restrain him from doing wrong. Now it is his turri, whon life’s meridian with her is past, and the infirmities of age are creeping on, to repay, in some degree, for all the labor bestowed on him; and faithfully anff affectionately did he seem-fulfilling his duty. How many grown-rip sons there are who seem to feel it beneath them to show any ten derness for their mothers! It is feminine they say. They will perform acts of kindness, but in a business kind of way, or because it is their duty, little dreaming that they are crushing the maternal spirit by such cold, heartless acts. Acts of kindness done in the spirit manifested in the incident above mentioned, have an untold influence. The pathway down to the grave would be cheered; made even joyful, and old age would would be exempt from much of the gloom that is oiten experienced. The reflex influence is also great. A young man who is habitually tender of his mother, and deferential to her, will make a good citizen, a true friend, and will He faithful in all the walks of life. ECONOMY IN A FAMILY. The is nothing which goes so far toward placing young people beyond tbe reach of po verty as economy in the management of house hold affairs. It matters not whether a man fur nishes little or much for his family, if there is a continual'leakage in his kitchen or parlor; it runs away he knows not how, and that demon Waste cries, More! like the horseleech’s daughter, until he that provided has no more to give. It is the husband’s duty to bring into the house; and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully out of it. A man gets a wife to look after his affairs, and to assist him in bis journey through life; to educate and prepare their children for a proper sta tton in life, and not to dissipate his property. The husband’s interest should be the wife’s care, and her greatest ambition to carry her no far ther than his welfare or happiness, together with that of her children! This should be her sole aim, and the theater of her exploits in the bosom of her family, where she may do as much towards making a fortune as he can in the counting-room or the workshop. * It is not the money earned that makes a man wealthy—it is what he saves from his earnings. Seif-gratification in dress, or indulgence in ap petite, or more company than his purse can well entertain, are equally pernicious. The first adds vanity co extravagance; the second fastens a doctor’s bill to a. long butcher’s account; arid the latter brings intemperance—the worst of all evils—in its train. Do all the good yon can. - proud, tempest-nurtured fjpiMirflattMttg. THE GREAT EASTERN. About three years ago the Great Eastern caused a great excitement here. Every feature of her immense size was canvassed as a new won der, and was the subject of conversation in all circles for months before her arrival. Different ports paraded and announced their respective attractions to secure her visits. Down ip Maine they built a dock to suit her size, and.a hotel in proportion for her passengers. At last she came to New York, As she steamed up our bay the furor became dangerous. AIL the piers were crowded by men and women anxious to get a glimpse of her; the bay waserowded with boats from all directions, and the ferryboats were crowded with spectators to the last limit of their respective inches. But we have seen her, and, presto! we are used to her. Now she is no longer a wonder. She comes and goes, and the people hardly know it. Yet the great shipis not now any less wonderful in any respect than she was three years ago, as we can declare, having visi ted her purposely to see. When we left the Battery the. steamer- in which we went was of a tolerable size—not the largest we had ever seen, but yet somewhat larger than a peanut shell. Her decks were comfortably roomy, and her smokepipe would have been of a good size even for the mouth of that tough customer who had his one eye punch ed out by Ulysses, the traveller and special cor respondent. Before we had finished onr’jour ney however, there came a change, though ex actly when and where it: took place we cannot say. All right when we leit the Battery, we continued all right as we swept up past the piers in the East river and ran by the pigmy sloops and schooners that abound there. Among the minnows of rowboats we figured like a bran new double-jointed Triton. But when we were alongside; the Great Eastern we were very like the “litfle boat” that Peter Bell sighed for. We were infinitely little—boat, pipe aud pas sengers. We felt as if we had swept against the side of a planet, and looked up and contem plated onr ascent to the inhabited regions as inehworms might. Numbers of others, Pucks and Titanias, were there before ns—very little people—who looked down from the decks- above, and peered out from the portholes here and there, with a kind of idle curiosity—insignificant, pig my people. So up we went to the deck, and discovered when there that we were as little as any one. Cheops who built the great knew how little impression the. mere statement of numbers makes upon the mind. He did not merely record how many workmen he had, or how long he kept them busy. He gave an idea of the magnitude; of that labor in another way, and recorded “the quantity of radishes, onions and garlic ” eaten by the builders while the work was in progress. Herodotus, amazed at the quantity, gave expression to his astonishment in these words:—“ If this, then, is a true record of the radishes, what a vast sum must have been spent on the; iron -tools they found it necessary to use.” In such a way the human mind, lost in the endeavor to appreciate the proper great ness of a really wonderful,labor, takes refuge in the contemplation off the trivialities associated with it, since it can grasp these latter with so much more ease. Apply this plan of contemplation to the Great Eastern; for she is to be classed with the Pyr amids, and takes |ier place in the history of hu man* achievements beside those vast structures. Her length nearly coincides with the measure ment of the great one. Like the Pyramids, she seems rather a great work of nature than a thing made with hands. Numbers in feet and inches are of no assistance in the attempt to understand her size. Every link of her great cables weighs seventy-two poilnds; she carries four thousand such links, as much iron as two hundred carmen’s carts conld carry, forged into the single item of chain cable “by iron.tools.” There is one steam engine of sixty horse power whose only business it is to manage these cables and the hooks at the ends of them. These hooks —anchors, if you prefer that name—with which the great ship fumbles about in the deap for the granite formations, the ribs of an antedilu vian- world, to hold fast by, were also made with tools and have, some weight of their own. If one was cut into seven pieces, each piece would be a load for one of the large coal carts which go about our streets carrying, if the coal dealers don’t lie, two thousand pounds apiece. Or it would take just forty-six shots of Gen eral GiUmore’s three hundred-pounder to throw one of these anchors from Morris Island into Charleston city. The four great anchors of the Great Eastern would make one hundred and eighty-six of those pills. Oh that they might fall on the toes of Jeff. Davis. Besides the four anchors which we have thus reduced to pills and popular appreciation, the Great Eastern has six other anchors for ordina ry occasions, and not so large. Similar heavy jobs to th-t of the anchors are divided among the different, steam engines on .board.' For, in addition to her crews of engi neers and sailors, this Great Eastern has a com plete crew of steam engines. These fellows are not,often mustered on deck; hnt they are kept in none the less excellent order for that. They number just thirty-three. Now. thirty-three steam engines not only require a very Jarge number of tooll to make them, but. being made th6y..ean do an iptoense amount of-work. They do all sorts of chores—lift heavy wc ghts load the ship,', pump water and so on. Tffey make themselves generally useful. We number with the rest,the main engines by mean of which this great njass of material is made to obey the least impulse of-her captain’s will, ana to: become tractable as a, spaniel—engines by moans of which the great shipis made “ manageable as a little yacht.” ' Within the; ship several hotels have been built, at which ,the prices of be rd v ry to suit the public purse. In all, the a com m od tion~ are excellent; good bedrooms, large parlors, and the best of-attendance. Besides these hotels there are two or three private Houses for the accommodation of families, with nice suits of rooms, dining rooms, sitting rooms and bed chambers in every respect complete. Recently the captain explored some hitherto undiscovered districts in the ship, and erected there excellent baths, and now passengers can be accommoda ted with salt or fresh water baths, hot or cold, at any hour. There yet remain some extensive waste .districts in the ship which will be ex plored, surveyed and settled in due time, and be made to conduce to the comfort of passengers as new improvements suggest themselves. One might cross the Atlantic in this ship and hardly know that he was at sea, so complete are the ar rangements for the comfort of passengers, and so easy are the ship’s movements. How much the Great Eastern holds we don’t know, and, unlike the gentleman from the South ern States, we can’t even “reckon.” Part of her present cargo is one hundred and fifty thou sand bushels of wheat, and when we went through we had some trouble to find it. All those oriental merchantmen whose “shipboards were made of the fir trees of Senir” might be stowed away and be as hard to find as the wheat was. We have the impression that the subterranean regions of the ship bear a close relation to the mammoth cave of Kentucky. In short, nothing so immense ever floated away in one piece since those uncomfortable and chaotic days when the world was not yet set in order when the continents were not yet located, and had to be towed about from place to place to keep the sublunary balance. Previous to 1854 there was a problem in steam navigation that puzzled the British. On the passage to Australia steam was hardly able to hold its own against the ancient invention of sails in the ancient ships, and the clipper ships beat the steamers all to pieces; and the reason §ntniatt f ivattpligi was that no steamer could carry her coal for, such a voyage and a cargo too. Steamers car ried only enough coal to take them a fraction of the distance, and while they stopped to take in coal at the various stages they lost more time than made up the difference in speed be tween steam and sails. For the solution of this problem the Great Eastern was projected—a ship so large that her size should bear some relation to the distance she was to travel; and, in fact, her tonnage is equal to one ton for every mile of that voyage. Bat when she was finished, the trade in that direction was found insufficient to support her, and she inevitably fell, by a kind of commercial gravitation, into the great intercourse between Europe and the United States, in which she has now made eight successful voyages. Some ac cidents have happened to her; but each of these has served to prove her—especially the great est, when she dashed on the rocks near Mon tauk, and had such holes made in her bottom as would Have sunk instantly any other ship afloat. Yet many of the passengers then on the ship did not know that an accident had happen ed. All came info port safely, and not a pack age of the cargo had received, a'spot. Such circumstances, must eventually com mend mammoth ships as the only fit ones to cross the ocean with passengers. The Great Eastern is at present commanded by Captain Paton; under whom she is now in her sixth voyage to this port; and under whom, also she was brought safely through the accident to which we bave referred above.-—M T. Paper, THE GREEK FIRE- The recent mention of the use by General Gilmore of the Greek fire in the assault upon Charleston, suggests an inquiry as to the resem blance of what we know by that name to the sub stance used in the defence of Constantinople. This city sustained the.attack of the caliph Moaurzah through seven successive years, (from A. D. 668,t0 615, j ? and again a siege;from the Saracen -general. Moslemah, (A. D. Tiff 118 ) through the skill with which this element w»~ used. The following extract from Gibbon em braces perhaps all that is known of it: “In the two sieges, the deliverance of Con stantinople may be chiefly ascribed to the nov elty, the terror, and the real efficacy of the Greek fire. The important secret of compounding and directing,this artificial flame was imparted by. Callinious, a native of Heliopolis, in Syria, who deserted from the service of the Caliph to that of the Emperor. The skill of a chemist and en gineer was equivalent to the succor of fleets and armies; and this discovery or improvement of the military art was fortunately reserved for the distressful period when the degenerate Ro mans of the East were incapable of contending ing with the warlike enthusiasm and youthful vigor of the Saracens. The historian who pre sumes to analyze this composition should sus pect his own ignorance, and that of his Byzan tine guides, so prone to the marvelous, so care less, and in this instance so jealous of the truth. From their obscure, and perhaps fallacious hints, it should seem that the principal ingredient of the Greek fire was th e.naptha, or liquid bitumen, a light, tenacious, arid inflammable oil, which springs from the earth, and catches fire as soon as it comes in contact with the air. The naptha was mingled, I know not by what methods, or in what proportions, with sulphur and with the pitch that is extracted, from evergreen firs. From this mixture, which produced a thick smoke and a loud explosion, proceeded a fierce and obstinate flame, which not only rose in per pendicular ascent, bat likewise burnt with equal vehemence in the descent, or lateral progress; instead of being extinguished, it was nourished and quickened by the element of water, and sand, urine, or vinegar were the only remedies that could damp the fury of this powerful agent, which was justly denominated by the Greeks the liquid or the ‘maritime fire. For the annoy ance of the enemy it was employed with equal effect by sea and land, in battles or in sieges. It was either poured from the ramparts in large boilers, or launched in red-hot balls of stone and iron, or darted on arrows and javelins, twisted round with flax and tow, which had deeply im bibed the inflamable oil; sometimes it was de posited in fire-ships, the victims and instruments of a more simple revenge, and was. most com monly blown through long tabes of copper, which were planted in the prow of a galley, and most fancifully shaped into the mouths of savage monsters, that seemed to vomit a stream of li quid and consuming fire. This important art was preserved at Constantinople,: as the palla dium of the state; the galleys and artillery might occasionally be lent to 'the allies of Rome; but the composition of the Greek fire Was concealed with the most , jealous scruple, and the terror off their eneriries was increased and prolonged by their ignorance and surprise. In the treatise of the administration of the em pire, the royal author suggests the answers and excuses that might best elude the indiscreet cu riosity and unfortunate demands of the barba rians. They should be told that the mystery of the .Greek fire had been revealed bv an angel to the first and greatest of the 'Constantines, with a sacred injunction that this gift of . heaven, this peculiar blessing of the Romans, should never be communicated to any foreign nation; that the prince and subject were alike bound to religions silence under the temporal and spirit ual penalties of treason and sacrilege; and that the impious attempt would provoke the sudden and supernatural vengeance of the God of the Christians. " By these precautions the secret was confined abov four hundred years to the Romans of the Ea i and at the end of the eleventh century, the Pisans, to whom every, sea and .every art were familiar, the effects without un derstanding the composition of the Greek fire. It was at length either discovered or stolen by the Mohametans; and in the holy wars of Syria and . Egypt, they retorted an invention, con trived against themselves, on the heads of the Ghrrtians', A knight, who despised the swords and iances of the Saracens, relates with heart felt neerity his own fears and those of his, companions, at the sight and sound of thc.mis ehievous engine that discharged a torrent of the Greek fire—the feu Gregeois, as it is styled by the more early of the French writers. It came flying through the air, says Joiriville, like a winged, long-tailed dragon, about the thickness of a hogshead, with the report of thunder; and the velocity of lightning, and the darkness of the night was dispelled by this deadly illumi nation. The use of the Greek, or, as it might now be called, of the Saracen fire, was contin ued to the middle of the fourteenth century, when the scientific, or casual compound of nitr e i sulphur, arid charcoal,, effected a new revolu tion in the art of war and the history of man kind.” ; Mulle, in his “Fasten de la France remarks that this cheinieal compound was re-discovered in the reign of Louis XT.; but that prince alone knew the secret. of it, and died without making it known; that, however, the know ledge acquired by the moderns in regard to the rales of combustion, would enable ns to disco ver the Greek fire again, or, at least, some equi valent composition. Which is the case ? Have we found the real element, or simply something resemblingit? , HOW TO DRY SWEET COEN. When the corn is in good condition for eat , ing, the grains being fully grown, boil a quan tity of ears just enough to cook the starch, and then let them cool and dry a few hours, and then shell or cut off the grains and spread them in the sun till dried. The best way to dry the corn is to nail , a piece of cloth, of very open texture on a frame, which if two feet wide, and five long, will be of a convenient size to handle. , T If toe corn is spread thinly upon this cloth it will dry quickly without souring. It should be covered with a piece of mosquito netting to keep off toe flies. Another person gives the following directions for drying sweet corn: “As soon as the com is fit for the table, husk and spread toe ears, .in an open oven, or some quickly drying place. When the grains loosen shell the corn, .or shell as soon as you can. Then spread upon a cloth todryinthe sun, or on paper in a warm oven; stir often, that it may dry quickly and not qyfjrheat. It niore resembles the undried by its being whole, is sweeter, and retains more of i s natural flavor by drying faster. When who ly dried expose it to the wind by turning it's lowly from dish to dish; the wind blows off all toe troublesome white chaff,” PICKLING CTJCU As a general thing. sufficient] care is not taken in pickling- cucumber and large numbers of them.“spoil” in less .tm months’time.

They rapidly spread until they formed aloathsome and virulent sore, which.cPvered ms face, and actually blinded hiseyes for some days. A skilful: physician applied nitrate of, silver and other remedies, without any apparent" effect. For fifteen , days we guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered his whole .face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct; The sore.beganto heal when we had given the first bottle, and was, well when we had finished the second. The child’s eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor hood predicted that the child must die, ” Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep sia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by this Ext.

I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, pre» paredby Dr.: C. M. Jackson, of this city, because X was pregodJotd against them for many years; under the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.' X am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, JBsq-* tor the removal of ibis prejudice by proper tests, ‘ and tor. encouragement to try them* when suffering frpm great and ; .Jong-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at . the;beginning of the 'present year, was followed by evident miff ‘ restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not 'ftolt'tor six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining.
