- Seventy Acres Plowed nv Steam. —The
Prairie Fafomr has an' account of the new
steam plow of Mr. AVaters, which the editor,
has seen in Minooka, Grundy county. 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

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,

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

And so this little household flower of ours;

pruned sometimes,, and these uncut, silken

papa says so, and adds that if it is not done
shortly, the low plum boughs will make ano
ther Absalom of Robbie, sometime, when the
blue-eyed gander is in hot pursuit. .
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. Yes;
they must be. cut; but it seems such a pity l
Little curls that we have twined arouna our

: Be very still, now, while I comb out .these
threads of shining floss. The mother is the
first barber.to her boy; no other fingers can
perforin the sweet office so gently; but when
fifteen or twenty years have flown, rougher
hands will comb and cut these, locks, all
bronzed,-by . suns and winds, and clustering

And yet the boy’s babyhood is rapidly fleets

like cutting, the golden thread that links his

I cannot keep the bud in, its sheath; I can

the gold of these ringlets shall bo dimmed by

Unassailable Truths. —There is often an
unsuspected trifle to be saved in every house
hold. 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.

But ,displeasing as is a surly-faced youth,
a sad child is indeed b very sorry sight. If

Return of the Jews to Palestine.
To tlio etudent of.tho Biblo and Church, his
tory there aroHe>y current, subjects of more
absorbing merest, or. of, deeper, significance,.
t ; than .the^eyohte daily transpiring, I
wbicutpoihfc to the repossession by,the Jews 1
pf their own land. , Tndytide of progress after
a lapse of centuries, may bo said to have fair
ly turned. in that direction, and the- prayer
l«ng offered by that chosen, but now scatter
ed people; thp,t“ Juda may be saved',‘and Is
rael dwell securely, and that the Redeemer
may come to Zion," is undoubtedly hastening
to fulfillment., . •' , . . b
. The Sultan of Turkey is encouraging Jew
ish emigration to Palestine, and is offering to
sell thorn as muoli land as they choose to buy,
and it-is said has even expressed his willing
hess todispose'of the.Jßosque.of Omor td them,
which, it will be recollected, stands upon the I
very site of the Jewish Teinple on Mount Mo
riah. The mosque'ls one of the Mahomme
dans| most celebrated shrines, being scarcely
inferior in national importance to those of
Mecca and Medina. Politicians and. states
men look upon these indications as a legiti
[ mate consequence of the liberalizing influence
I of Mahommedan intercourse with Christians,
and so they may be; but to the reader of. the
j yot unfulfilled pages of Revelation, they also
; point to what, as it respects the Jewish na
tion, “ prophets and kings 1 ' have long waited
! for, “ but died without the sight.” That the
Mosque of Omar should be in a fair way of
passing into the hands of the people to whose
fathers the site on which it stands was once
given in an, everlasting covenant, is what no
reader of secular history fifty years ago could
even have dreamed would ever have come to
pass. Some of the hills around Jerusalem
naye already become Jewish property, and if
is by no means improbable that some of the
present generation will see the entire city of
Jerusalem again in the hands of its ancient ,
owners. That mighty revolutions will follow
in the wake of such an event is probably ns
certain ns that the Jews will return ; nt all
events, affairs in that immediate region of the
East must ere long become an engrossing
theme among the. nations of the earth. An
able discussion of this vast theme, and the
steps toward the fulfillment of prophecy as
they transpire, will constitute a prolific field
for the religious press; and those evincing the
frontest familiarity with the subject will
oubtloss-find, their enlightening disquisitions
sought after with avidity.
Bare; In Arabia.
Earefy, the horse-tamer, has been spending
some time among the Arabs and their horses.
In Jerusalem no literally “astonished the
natives’' in subduing the ferocity of the Pa
cha’s stud, dnd by an exhibition of his powers
over ,the horse creation before' the resident
Consuls. 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. S. Consul, introduced him to the some
what famous Ayoub Boy, who presented Hon.
Wm. H, Seward, of New York, while visiting
[Syria last summer, with three fine Arabian
( horses, which are to be forwarded to the Uni
ted States by the first opportunity. 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.
[One is a colt of two years, and the other a
largo bay jpf 7 years.
. Mr. Baroy says the Arabian horse is smal
lor and less showy than the American horse
but more intelligent and dobile. ’

THE COLL'MIIS OBdJ/GE GIBL
ANOTHER’BEAL ROMANCE.
The citizens of Columbus, and visitors .at
the Capitol, will recollect a beautiful young
girl;_apparently “sweet sixteen,” who daily
I carried about the legislative halls and State,
I offices, a-handsomely wrought basket contain
ing the, plumpest and sweetest oranges. 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.

“No, Sir."
“Yet I hope you think about religious
things?"^

preacher. I was a member of the church ond

doing now; but I gave it all up. I don’t be

“ 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
