It turns out su furrows, nine feet in width, at the same time; and in sovonty-two minutes, including Stops, it. plowed rather more than two acres ana a balf. The whole cost of running the os^m atod at nine dollars. . About seventy-five acres had boon turned over when the account was written, and thodrivontor had just commenced a still larger job." It is not pretended that the invention is perfect, but the" editor thinks a decided advance has been made towards a practical solution of the problem of plowing prairies by steam. of piety and morality. Several friends of the husband had hinteq, wh|le Monro was in town, that his intimacy-was not proper;.but the husband, having the most’ implicit confi dence • in,his wife, _ indignantly, repelled Any allusion to .the subject.. ; .. ’ About the first of last April Monro come unexpectedly to NowYorkand remained there two” days, nob visiting,' as is usual for the graduates of the seminary, liis old professors and then mysteriously disappear ed, 'representing that-he was disgusted with the South, and wasgoing somewhere, North. On tlio 10th of May the lady'told her husband that as their.- child had .been .ill she -thought she would go to the country with it for a Jew weeks, -. to which the husband cheerfully acf quiesced. She took the 7 o’clock A. M. New Haven train for Norwalk, Conn., for which place her. husband purchased-her ticket and checked her trunk,.ds she said she could make up her mind on her Way whether she would tatce a branch road at Norwalk for Danbury, where her brother lives, ’or continue on to Boston. - ..., , . ,!. , This .proposition the. husband considered perfectly rational, and they then parted in the most affectionate" ■ manner.. The ,14th came, and the husband, not hearing: from his wife, though he had written to her, immediately telegraphed to Boston and Danbury, and an swers came back, that his wife and baby had not been seen,- This, in connection with some trifling. circumstances, which soon amounted to stubborn: facts, gave rise to horrible suspi cions, among them, that she had proceeded no further than-Norwalk,: and had returned by, the .3.25, P; -M. train to New York, and taken the 5 .P,M. train.on the same afternoon to Albany. A consultation was had and tele grams sent to all_parts of the country, and to Halifax, to stop the steamer, in cose the parr ties hod sailed for Europe; Nothing, however,, was heard of them until the 23d, when a telegram was received by the husband stating that the parties had been re cognized on Sunday, the 20th May, at Cincin nati. :'; , * Tfio husband immediately telegraphed to a friend in that city conneoted.with the press, 1 and the message was by.him in the hgnds of Detective J. L, Ruffin, who soon de coyed the reverend seducer* by a letter to the post office, and after tracking him to a .house on. Fourth street, arrested and looked him up.- IheL lady, with her child.was immediately I conducted, by the, husband's friends; to One of the. principal hotels, where she was kept until her. husband arrived. The .scene that ensued between them can. better be imagined than described—the husband; pn his part, almost frantic, the heart-broken and repentant wife almost*overwhelmedby grief. This friends of .the husband, anticipating a tragical conclusion to . the affair, took every precaution, and have succeeded in preventing it; The reverend prisoner, Moriro, was kept in close, confinement,"and the husband was not ponnitted to sce hinvuntil hejwas brought, bim by the detective and. the Husband's mends, and' he was immediately remanded to prison" in default of giving §5OO bail. The ,husband’s friends, in consideration of the wife’s lamentable condition,, and for the little child’s sake, demanded that he should rescue her fro’m her terrible fate and take Her back to New York,’and, probably from the best and most humane and impulsive motives, they w6ro hurried from Cincinnati the same night/or New York.. What will be the ter mination of this, sad affair it is difficult to pre dict. We trust for the best. Iho husband and wife have a large circle of warm friends Jin Now York, and their influ ence : and advice ‘will, in all probability; pro duce some, wholesome, result. -That the wife has been basely betrayed by.this clerical scoundrel, and her weakness taken advantage ofi. there can bo no doubt. * The very ‘ man who should have reconciled their difficulties, being a minister of ■ the Gospel, (if no other motive should have dictated it,) has used those very difficulties for his own dishonorable pur poses; and invaded the most sacred rights of civilized society. He has used “the livervof the Court of Heaven to serve the devil in/'—- Yorily, tho way of the transgressor will be bard.. . There is nothing known of this than, except that he comes from England, and represents himself,as the nephew of Sir George Nugent, 110 taught school in IVales, and came to this country without friends or moans; was loca-. tod, at one time, at Cohoes, near Albany, and then at West Point, as school teacher. The ■seminary at which ho graduated has already' repudiated him;; and we are informed that the Key.' Bishop Potter, of the New York Diocese, has taken the matter in hand, and when the evidence against Monro is received from Cin cinnati, will immediately take stops to expel him from the Church and the Ministry, Common Sense Maxims. You must persuade a child to place confi dence in vou, if you wish to form an open and upright character; you cannot terrify it into habits of truth. Hear no ill .of a friend, nor speak any of an enemy; believe not all you hear, and appear what you are. When a man has no design; hut to speak plain truth, ho may say a groat deal in a very narrow compass. Satan’s chain is in thy Saviour’s hand; he says to him, “ Thus far shalt thou come, but no farther.” Fear not. A man has no more right to soy ah uncivil thing than to 'act ono; no moro right to say a rude thing to another, than to knock another down. The secret of one’s success or failure in nearly every enterprise is usually contained in the answer to the question: How earnest is he?- T , ho bread of lifois love; the salt of life is „ ? sweetness of life, poetry, the water of.life, faith. ; ' And so this little household flower of ours; inust be- shorn of some of itsjsuporfluons beau ties..

Therois no denying that the l curls need trimming; they are too many and too thick; and they make the little head droop uneasily to one side, like a half-blown moss rose bud under the weight of its own moss, and straggle sometimes into the mouth and.eyes.

It is not in economy alone that the wife’s attention is so necessary, but in those niceties which make a well-regulated house. An unfurnished cruet-stand, a missing key, a buttonlcss shirt, a soiled table-cloth, a mustard pot with its old contents sticking hard and brown about it, are severally nothings, but each can raise an angry' word, or cause dis comfort. Depend upon it, there’s a great deal of domestic happiness in a well-dressed mut ton-chop or a tidy breakfast-table. Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music, are often too wearied of conversation, however intellectual; but they can always appreciate a well-swept hearth and smiling comfort. A woman may love her husbamf devotedly; may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country, for him; she may have the genius of a Sappho, the en chanted beauties of an Armodian; but it is a melancholy fact, if with_ these she fail to make his homo comfortable, his heart will inevita bly escape her. And womon-live so entirely in the affections, that without love their exis tence is a void. Bettor submit, then, to house hold tasks, than doom yourself to a loveless homo. Women of a high order of mind will not run this risk; they know that .their femi nine, thoif domestic, are their first duties. Death oe a Supreme Judge.— Peter V, Daniel, Judge of the IT. S.

His pursuit after the Bedouin camps however, was unsuccessful. A. three days’ ride in the desert convinced him that they were beyond his reach; and when informed that they were more than twenty days’ jour ney beyond the Jordan, he abandoned the search, contenting himself with seeing all the horses in Jerusalem, Damascus and Beriut. _ One incident,connected with his visit to Syria is of peculiar interest, Mr, Johnson, the D.

Inas much as Ayoub Bey claimed for those horses, the best blood in Syria, our Consul was anx ious to obtain Mr. Raroy’s opinion upon these specimen horses, which are soon to bo shipped to Auburn, New York. The Boy ordered but i the Sowgrd horses, or two of thert rather, for ono was absent on the mountains, and they woro trotted up and down the paved courtyard to the great delight of those who were gathered to witness some groat exhibition.- There was no exhibition, but Mr. Karoy after examining them, declared himself better pleased with them than any others he had seen in Syria.

Oh, yes, everybody remembers Ettie, the beauti ful orange girl,’and have wandered-in what hook she has hidden for the post two months; for no more her sweet face and girlish form is I seen in the capitbl, and interested clerks with a great admiration for the rotunda are obliged to forego glimpses of the neatest gaitered root tripping up the marble stairs. Everybody' about the State House admired Ettie, but it was with a respectful admiration, and if a gruff legislator was tempted to jest with-the girl, or make light remarks, he was restrained by the modest demeanor and pure soul-look appealing -from, her heaven-blue eyes. .Ettie always brought a basket full and went 1 home with an empty one, and her scarlet silk purse filled with silver coin. She ( was the; sole dependence of a widowed moth erland her noble efforts to keep, away want were known, and made the fruit from her has-. 1 ket teh times sweeter. - - . ’ . When the great Union meetingof the Ten- I nesseo, Kentucky and:' Ohio legislatures was held-in Ohio’s- capitol, the beautiful orange girl was tripping about,’disposing of her fruit to.the “ sons of the South,’’ and receiving the homage of admiring glances from all. At the.end of, one of: the halls, viewing the I noble row of . princely dwellings on Third street, stood alone a youthful member of the Tennessee Legislature, when he was startled by a silvery voice asking: : “Buy an orange,'sir?" “ How do you sell them f” said the stranger looking into her eyes, “ Five cents each,” said the maiden holding a large one towards him. “Cheap.” ■“ Indeed they are.” This introduction opened the way for a pro longed and serious conversation, in which the girl artlessly revealed to thp stranger the, po verty of her home, and the necessity of her supporting her sick mother. He was so struck I with the girl’s manner and singular beauty that he secretly resolved to visit her homo and become more intimately acquainted. He did I so, and after successive visits, won the confi dence and love of the maiden, and the moth er’s consent to their marriage and When ho' went back to..his Southern home, it was with his promise to' return in a fortnight for his bride. Ho came, and how the manly South erner and, the beautiful orange girl are man and wife._ He_has taken her, the fairest of the fair, to his Southcrujiome, to dwell with him and her , aged mother, in opulence. . Cincinnati Gazette. Sold at Half Price. A shopkeeper in a small town in Massaohu ' setts, one day marked some handkerchiefs in ; his window with the tempting words: “ Selling off at half Price 1" Shortly after a lady who had-traded with him before entered his establishment, and having examined the handkerchiefs, inquired the price. r “ Fifty cents a piece,” politely replied the shopkeeper. “Very-well,” said, the. lady,, “you may do me up a dozen.” •' • . ■ The handkerchiefs were cut off and deliver ed to the lady,- who,gave the shopkeeper a three dollar bill. “ Beg pardon, ma’am ; but I—ah—told you the handkerchiefs were fifty cents a piece, that is^—ah six dollars per dozen.” “To be sure, sir; I understand as much ar ithmetic as that. ■ Six dollars is. the.price; half of six three that is half price. I think, they are cheap enough. ’ Good day, sir,” The lady shut the door; the shopkeeper opened his eyes. For five minutes he stood still as a stump, gazing vacantly at the win dow; then biting his lips, and coloring very red, ho gently removed the card pinned to the handkerchiefs, and resolved to sell no more goods at half price. Infidelity Dishonest. A few months since the substance of the following dialogue might have Boon heard: “.Do you attend church, sir?’' “No, Sir." “Yet I hope you think about religious things?"^ “ Well, I did, years ago ; they called me a preacher. I was a member of the church ond thought I ought to talk to people as you are doing now; but I gave it all up. I don’t be lieve the Bible now;” “ Are you. afraid to die ?” “ No, sir." “ Have you ever been apparent!/ near death ?’’ “Yes, sir.” “Was it when you.believed the Bible flnd belonged to the church ?" “ Yes, air/’ ' ■ . “ Were you afraid of death then ?’’ “ No, sir,* I thought if I died I should go to heaven end b'B happy." • “ Suppose you should die now?” “I should.be just as well off." ' “Have you any children f’ “ I have one little girl." ■ “ Would you prefer that she be trained un der the influence of your old or new views." “ Oh, I leave her to her mother. She may teach her what she pleases/' “ Then your wife is a Christian woman ?’; "Yes; she holds on." “ Now, sir, I wish to ask you one question more. Suppose that child of yours should come to you and say, “Father, which shall ! believe, you or mother ?" I insist upon a re ply." • . V. .. “.Well, I suppose/! would say, "Go with your mother.’”—-Christian Press. i Colic in’ lloilscs. —A correspondent of tho \ Southern Field and Fireside Bays : ' “ I notice in the Just number of your paper a cure for colic In horses, contained in a let ter from Mr. I'hurmond, of, Athens. ‘ Permit [mo, sir, to,give you one much more simple and convenient, L It is simply to pour cold -wa ter on the back of the animal for fifteen or I twenty minutes.
