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.—

•• 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."

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

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

immediate vicinity of Richmond will at

given to vineyard cultivation, the soil and
climate being admirably adapted to the
grape,
Let a company be formed in Columbia,
for the cultivation of the grape, and the
manufacture of wine. • Surely there is no
more favorable place for the growing of
grapes, than along the Susquehanna. It
might be made the Rhino of America.
Goon Itusa.--Two teacups of sugar and
not quite %teacup of butter, beaten together,
with two eggs and ono pint of sweet milk,
and dour sufficient to make a sponge. Add
yeast and set it to rise before going to bed.
Next morning make up as bread and let it
rise again, then mold into biscuits and
when light bake them. Some cooks put in
nutmeg and brandy, and a friend of mine
flavors them with grated orange peel, but
I prefer them without anything of the kind.
