BE.AUTILFEERS. I am going to soy something to the readers of the "Sec" about those arti ficial beautifiers which are worn to such an alarming extent among those we should "love, honor and protect," and I do not desire to be misunderstood, or he abused for my presarnptiuu. It is not to be au attack upon those artificialities which some of our mothers, wives, anti sisters fain would decorate themselves with, but just a little paragraph of something t, be taken kr ‘hy rho "who - Yelicl fha col umns T 4 Sr3%-, This is a false age, or at least, we are fiilse to ont•selVes, and cannot blame our females for wearing false eharms, with which to captivate the false hearts of our young clandies. Passing up the main ,treet 01 this relormeci may, a few days since, I noticed in a window, any quantity of strange looking "fix/as, — called " articles for the ladies," and which to my gaze was entirely new in the art of dress. If I should describe some or the. `• fixins," I would be compelled to say they resembled a pair of sad alc-bags (for our country - doctors) more than anything else ever dreamed of before; while others resent bled wire covers used at the dicing table itl the slimmer months to protect the dishes from the ineurstl3us of pestivorous flies. On enquiring more par- I ticularly about them, they were explained, and here is the explanation given by one who wears a number of them: " Fel•sc emcee"—intended for a better formation of the pedal extremities, when short dreSScs um used—and rendered still more necessary by the use of those tilting hoops, ttJiieh go very far toward exposing what was only dreamed of ; or existed in the imagination. In the lett:pingo of some fertile poet's brain : "These cram are, oat a tlertitlg show, For giVElt; They're filled with bruit or st ußbd with tow, swell rthollt a font or sn, !and look ,a/sl-tair,lo lien, r• am not certain that those finely formed ankles and foot, /mac/Ns, we see daily upon the streets are of this artitleial wake, nor would I be willing to think it, hut as they are !mule for gale, and are purelinsed br the thousands, it is very hard to tell who wears them around Os. If ever I ant for tunate enough to &feet One 171)011 the street, I will report ii. Another artificial benittiliet, and above all the most deceptive, is th a t of the false bosom. These are made of tine wire, some what in the shape of a bird's nest, or as I havealready said, a shield for dinner dishes, with to small spring in them, and really took 'Ma feel quite natural. Tho who wear them, profess to believe this, and I only reiterate their ideas. Some of these • 1 beautifiers - are coustroeted in such a manner that they palpitate in excellent sfyitrfor'llufse who wear them. Sento are made so perfect that the steel springs are controlled successfully in expressing aw ful emotion—the heavy kind—and will palpitate about treeaty times a minute; this is what I call huge palpitation! This, with the other modern sighs, and proper put-0n , ,, it is thought will be tremendous in elect, and almost any poor, unsophisti cated young fellow will be speedily over powered. It may do very well for lean folks to wear those things, but I must confess to a preference to cotton, es I do not like these iron-ctud breast works—they are too hard to take—(cotton ones Is as found pretty bard to take at the battle of NUM' Orleans.) Ido not like these wire bosoms; and, above all, I detest these artificial things put in the place of " nature's heaving aparatus." If' palpitation cannot be avoided, and I, in common with the rest of our mahkind, hope sincerely that it cannot, let our young ladies please use the original palpitator, the one that God gave them, and not this horrid invention conecived for no other than these old maids of an uncertain age, who, its-their `• drawing; days." would seize upon those Straits to Mal favor in the eyes of our young; men, mud hope to be snatched front the sin9le to the blessed state by in trigue and artificial beautifiers. :Madame Demorest dictates ilishions to the ladies— and some money-making Yankee inventor looks to their better formation; but nil the -young folks of this section know- they cannot dictate to Mete choice, feminine pal pitation, untmin they have the power to con struct the palpitator of the same materials as that made for mother Eve in' tho begin ning. llettvi'ver, it matters but little, if Our folks. and chose we are fond of do not adopt them—l shook' he exceedingly chagrined if they did. Something called "praelper.s" are also used by some of our belles, and impart a fullness to the face that is truly astonish ing. They are fastened on the teeth in such a manner as to make the fitco look round and plump, and are calculated to deceive the wise, as well as the ansuspecting you at. The young ladies where I live are all right, at least I believe so, and young men may not have any fears in visiting among them. They need none of these artificialities to adorn them, and are abundantly fleshy. I would advise some of our young lovers not to wed solar girls without a fall ihvestilqa tion or they may rue their bargain, and instead of getting pleased, will be woefully deceived in the get-up of their Letter-half. Say I have not spoken truth, if you dare, and .111 show you my proof. J. S. W. The New Blasi.-Furnitee. An improved blast-furnace, extraordin ary advantages for which are claimed, has been invented and successfully introduced by Mr. Fritz Lurnemn, the chief engineer of the George and Mary Smelting Works, 05111tbrUt:14 ,- , Germany; arid as it /HIS now been nearly 12 months in use, it may be supposed that the claims are not altogether unfounded. In the new furnace the hearth is closed all ionnd, and there is neither tymp, torehearth, nor darneone. The slag stands constantly - at the same level, and there is .3 cast-iron slag hole, kept cool with ' water, /lad introduced at any given point in the circumference of the hearth, the point of introduction being about d or 5 in ches below the centre of the tuyeres. The slag hole is cylindrical in the centre, and widens towards each end. fly the use of the furnace the sloppagea otherwise neces sary for tapping and for cleaning the fore hearth is altogether avoided, and this /cads to the further advantages that no cooling takes place, and a higher and more regular temperature can be maintained. 'rho per fectly closed hearth permits of a greater pressure of blast being used, as the raw material cannot be blown out—this is of ee.pecial importance where crude coal is employed—and it is claimed that the nUni her of workmen may be reduced by one third. The orifice through which the iron is drawn off is opposite the slag hole, and, of course, at a lower level. The working of the furnace does not present any diflicults whatever. The slag hole is net closed be fore tapping the iron, since the slag stops running of itself whea the iron begins. After tapping the iron the tap hole is plug ged, and during this time the slag hole is stopped with a hale .sand or earth. The water used in cooling this orifice is reduced to a minimum. The duration of this work is about four or live minutes. The full allowable ldast-pressure is now applied, until the slag appears at the slag hole, when the sand or earth is removed, and the work rants thrusts a round bar throagh the opening and the slag-crust behind it into the liquid slag, and then quickly with- i draws it, when the slug flows out in a stream. The now of slag maybe complete ly regulated by means of the water. cooling the discharge piece; since by strongly cool ing the latter the slag is "frozen" in the passage, reducing the size of the discharge, and vice versa, baring, this entire process the blast is• not-interrupted, nor the pres sure diminished. The size of the slag hole naturally depends upon the probable con sistency of the slag which has to pass through it, and varies front 1 inch to gi in ches. As old furnaces of the ordinary eoahtriletion can easily be altered to the new Ili:7)1, there is nothing to prevent lire invention being tested in this country, so that it rutty be hoped, if the advantages aro as great as they are claimed to be, their use will at no distant period become general.— London 11ininil Journal. •• Don't Stay Long." It is rarely, indeed, that wo have read anything more truthfully pathetic than the subjoined whit!, which we find Routing, among our exchanges. Would that every husband in our land might read and profit by it: "Don't stay long, husband !•' said a young bride tenderly in my presence one evening, as her husband was preparing to go out. The words themselves were in significant, but the look of melting fnai ness with which they were accompanied,- spoke volumes. It told the whole vast depth of woman's love—of he• grief when the tight of his smile, the source of all her joy, brained not brightly upon her. "Don't stay long, husband!" and I saw the loving, gentle wifi•, sit ng alone, anxiously counting the moments of her husband'sabsettee,every few mometits running to the door to see it he was not in sight. and finding that he wits not, I thought I could hear her exclaiming, in disappoint ed tones, "not yet." Don•I stay long, husband r , and I again thought reonld see thy• young wife rocking nervously - in her great arm ehair and weep ing as though her heart would break, us her thoughtless " lord and master" pro longed his stay to a Weariqonle length of timr. Oh, you that have wives to say—" Don't stay long,'• when you go forth, think of them kindly when you are mingling in the busy hive of life, and try just a little to maim their homes and hearts happy, for they are gems too seldom replaced. You cannot Bail amid the pleasures o f the world, the peace and joy that a quiet home, blessed with such a woman's presence will afford. •` Don't stay long, husband!" nod the young wife's look seemed to say—for here in your own sweet home is a loving heart whose music is hushed when you are ab sent—here is a soft broust to lay your weary head upon, and her pure lips unsoil ed by sin, that \rill pay you kisses for coin ing back so soon.

From the Trades to the Professions. There is a growing inclination on the part of young men, after they have served long and hard apprenticeships to acquire a good trade, to abandon that mode of making a living to enter the legal or medical profee slot), where it is supposed greater emolu ment can be secured and larger honors won. In nineteen cases out of twenty such. ven tures are failures, for two reasons. - First, the professions require peculiar talent and the most thorough education. As a rale, apprentices to the -trades have neither the time nor the means to acquire this educe- Hence, when a meehanie at the end of his apprenticeship aspires to and enters any one of the professions, he does so at a great disadvantage. lie may be a fluent speaker, knew how to argue a point in a debating society, or harangue a crowd at a ward meeting, but such talents do not fit, him for the legal profession. He may know how to extract a splinter from his own hand,•hOW lio 1:11.11:11 a salve, haw to mix a powder or administer a pill, but alt this, while it might qualify him as a good nurse, does not fit him for the medical pro fession. The fact is, the young men 11•110 abandon their trades are tempted to do so by a feeling of lidse pride, erroneously im agining there is no honor to be secured in a pursuit of the mechanical arts. Ilistory proves the fallacy of such suppositions. The brightest names which now adorn the annals of all countries are of the best me chanics who have blessed mankind with the productions 01 their genius. All that is beautiful and arena, is the result of im provement in mechanics. The pendulum, the main spring, the barometer, thermome ter, printing press, steam engine, sewing machine, telescope, all, all are the result of 11 - web:lt - des' tate, making those famous who produced them, and the people great who adopted them. A good mechanic who becomes a pettifog-- ger or a quack, merely because he is too proud to work at his tradv, is indeed a piti ful object. A man of the right mental bal ance, who has proper mental form, with the necessary hulependence, will win as much honor and as fair a living In the trades as in the professions; indeed an in different lawyer or doctor, lacking briefs or patients, is always a miserable being, a bad example in the community. Let our young mechanics, then, become ambitious in their own peculiar vocations. If they dignify their trades by becoming proficient therein, the trades will dignify them with the highest honors. If mechanics pursue their business with a purpose to self-im provement therein, and -not merely to hammer and tile and saw, but to improve the art, to develop something now therein, the mind will be strengthened as the arm becomes muscular, and the heart of the mechanic gill be made to swell with as true a pride as ever glowed beneath the doublet of a prince. Will our young mechanics think of these truths? Opening a Wife , * Letters. The 'Philadelphia S u nday Dispatch asks and answers the question of "flay a man open his wife's letters?" as follows: " May a man open his wife's private letters? The normal husband. will prompt ly-answetyYes. The right:Minded mother of ri, family will perhaps more decidedly answer yes—with possibly a slight resee'va tion in tltvor of very, very private letters. The Court of Appentsat Louisville says no; and in doing so, it dwells with such fervor upon 'the elm,te and friendly letters' which a married woman may write and receive, but mat• not like to show, and in general upon the possibilities of sisterly, matronly, or even Platonic correspondence which do not call for conjugal supervision, that we 1 cannot but think that the normal husband and the loyal stater jandlias would be silenced, if not convinced by the reasoning. When we come to think of it perhaps there is a trifle of injustice, even when viewed apart front the women's rights standpoint, in the inspection under all circumstances by a husband of his wife's private corres pondence, when he is hardly disposed to extend the same courtesies to her. " At all events, in lireatticky, tire wr tors and readers of 'very, very' private letters may congratulate themselves on the deci sion of the State court. .. ,, ,A the same time, we would not advise persons to presume too much, us a reicher practical conduct, On this decision. Husbands do not always carry about volumes of judicial opinions for every day life, nor do they always re spect those opinions when they know them." 'Who Can Vote Maine—Evers male citizen.

Action of Linie on Sciils If there is one principle settled in agri culture, it is that some convertible salt of limo in essential to the fertility of soils, and that certain crops cannot be grown on a soil destitute of. it. When we consider the most favored crop-producing regions of the earth, it cannot fail to be remarked, that the sollcontains a portion of lime. A soil entirely destitute of limo may , produce straw, but never good crops of grain. • Lime loosens heavy clay lands, while it renders more compact light and dry soils. Mr. Edmund Ituffla asks the question, why the forest lauds, destitute of lime, are poor; while limo lands are rich—each having been equally fertilized by decaying leaves and trash, from time immemorial? This fact may be soon in Southwestern Georgia. Where lime abounds, the soil is rich—where It is absent, it is poor pine barren. Lime, when applied to sand, without vegetable mutter, makes mortar; when to clay without vegetable matter, makes marl. In tither ease, there is no improve.. ment to the soil. On poor soils, deficient In vegetable matter, feeble results will be manifest; for there will not be nutritious gases enough, after vegetable decomposi tion, to produce luxuriant vegetation. Poor lands must be manured as well as limed, before they can be reclaimed. Land having a thin coat of vegetable matter may be enriched in time, by liming without manure, if we are careful to give no more lime than such lands will bear—a small quantity decomposing and axing the vegetable matter in the soil as it ac cumulates. But, if manure is applied to the /and with lime, (at different times,) they arespeedily rendered fertile.—Sonthern Cultivator.

CORN USKS. —A correspondent of the Former's A civerUser, on the raitio of corn husks, suites the following facts: It has been discovered in Austria, that sixty per cent. of the weight of corn husks are of value in the arts. They obtain, from every 100 lbs. of husks, f.'o pounds of ex cellent varieties of paper, f.'.5 lbs. of long fibre, suitable for spinning and weaving into a cloth of great strength, and capacity for resisting all tendency to decomposition, and 15 pounds of farinaceous substance, which, by itself, or added to wheat dour, makes an excellent bread that will keep sweet and good for months, and is thus well adapted to supply the place of hard tack in armies and at sea. Of their value to the upholsterer, he says: illisks arc. now worth r7O per ton in St. Louis, for the man Illheture of ntattresses. This is from four to six times the value of hay. To prepare thorn for market, it only needs to split thrm once or twice, and hale them. Suppose our thrillers jerked their corn from „,the stalk, husks and all, (they could do it much more quickly than they could husk it,and would thus avoid bad weather;) thou, having it safely housed, they could employ their entire force under cover, during the stormy days of winter, in husk ing their corn, and at same time utiliz ing their husks, a most important portion hitherto almost wholly wasted. CULTIVATION 01' THE Gnarx.--A com pany has been formed in Richmond, Va., for the purpose of engaging upon a large scale in the cultivation of the grape, and in the manufacture of wine.
