Let youth sing the praises of blushes,
And thrill with rapturous bliss,
That rises unbidden and flushes
The brain at the thought of a kiss.
It is all very well to be laden
With passionate joy when you lee
The innooont blush of a maiden,
But the glaoee of a widow for me.
Not a fig would I give for the rapture
That swells in the breast of a boy,
When Cupid has holped him to capture
A board ing-sohool casket of joy".
I don't care for bloom and fine dresses,
But Paradise comes when I tee
A widow in weeds and sod tresses,
Oh ! that it a oharm for me.
Then let youth ting the praise of beauty,
And kneel before maidenhood 't shrine,
And ringlets and blushes pay duly,
And dream tbalsuch things are divine.
But give me the flash that entrances,
The heart that was bound and it freo,
The eve with a toul in its glance
Oh I a gentle young widow for me.

"Dick, I am afraid the old man has taken
it into bis head to send you adrift."
"Why, what can you mean, Philip f"
"Only that be was talking very earnestly
with .Mr. Oglethorp as I went into his room
iust now, and they ceased very discreetly on
my entrance. I took tbe liberty of waiting
outside tbe door till tbe conversation was
resumed, and I beard enough to satisfy me
that Oglethorp has a nephew who is about
to take your place."
"What did you overhear ?"
"Merely a sentence from each. Oglethorp
said : so you think my nephew will have no
difficulty in filling tbe place of your bead
clerk ; and Bcalu replied : none whatever,
and the other clerk, Philip Warden, has
been in my establishment a long time, and
be can give him a little insight into our bu
siness affairs if need bo. 1 did not wait to
bear more, but that is enough, I should
think."
"So it would seem," was the reply, in a
tone ot ucei) despondency.
"It is mean in tho old man to discharge
you, and equally strange ; if it was me now.
I should not think it so odd, but he has all
along seemed to think so much of you. But
'tis just like him, always doing something
out of the wav."
Richard Wilkins was too sick at heart to
reply. He turned to tbe desk and endea
vored to concentrate his wandering thoughts
upon his work, but in vain. Tbe pen drop
ped from his fingers, and leaning his bead
on bis band, he gave full scope to bis sor
rowful and indignant feelings. When the
two gentlemen emerged from Mr. Iiealo's
private room he stared like ono guilty of a
secret crime, and snatching tho pen preten
ded to be all absorbed in bis duties. His
florid manner, so different from his usual
quiet composure, was noticed by his em
ployer, who drew his own conclusions there-
irom. hit. ugictuorp vvns returinug to uis
home in Baltimore. His friend accompanied
him to the steamboat, nnd on returning
closely observed his two clerks as he saun
tered back and forth through tho store.
Philip's appearance indicated nothing unu
sual ; but Hicburd, though he bad partially
regained his custoraury composure, could
not prevent a slight hesitancy and con
straint when replying to Mr. Bcale's casual
remarks.
Several days after, Mr. Bealo brought
Ilichaid a letter to seal and deposit in tho
post-ollicc as be went to diuner. At tbe
same time he sent Philip to a neighboring
store on business, which would detuin him
some little time be then returned to his
private room. Left to himself, Richard gazed
on the superscription of tho tetter long nnd
earnestly. "I). Oglethorp, Esq., Bnltimoro,
the words seemed burned into his brain.
What would he uot give to know the con
tents of that letter ! Doubtless it related to
tho nephew that was to supplant him, Rich
ard hesitated, turned the letter over and
over. Why could he not glance into it t It
was not sealed he would betray uo confi
dence bv doinz so most of tho business let
ters weie given him to answer, and certainly
to no ono living would he reveal the con
tents, whatever they might be. Those re
flections overcame his ttrong repugnance to
the act, and with trembling haud be opened
the letter and read :
"Peaii Sir t I wish your nephew to arrive,
if nossible. bv Tuesday, tbe thirtieth, as on
that day young Wilkins' year will have ex-
lioulcl be on tue spot to enter imnieuiaieiy
on his duties.
Truly yours, J. Beale,
The blood rushed to Richard's brow as he
read. For an instant he forgot tho conse
quences to himself of tbe threatening blow
of inditrnation at nis employers- uupnciiy.
Four years ago, he murmured, bitterly,
ay, four years next Tuesday, I entered this

words as possible requested the wagos due
to him, at he was engaged to go to another
bouse on the morrow.
"I have known of your engagement sinco
Wednesday," said Mr. Beale ; Mr. Curtis in
formed me of it. Mny I ask the motive of
this secret and unusual proceeding on your
part ? I believe I gave you no cause for so
sudden a determination to quit my employ
mentdid I ?"
"No cause 1" Richard repeated, bitterly.
"Oh, no sir, no cause, of course tho clerk
is only the dupe, the slave of the merchant,
and has no right to complain of nny con
duct, however iniquitous, of which he is the
victim."
"Your sarcasm is rather out of place, young
man," replied Mr. Bealo, coolly. "I asked
if I bad given you any cause of offence. I
know I have not; you falsely imngino that
I have, and thus imagining, you have dono
yourself a great injury. Is'ay, no questions
I will tell you n'.l, On the day Mr. Ogle
thorp was here I noticed a great alteration
in your looks, your words, your whole con
duct. I suspected at once thut Philip bad
overheard our conversation nnd repeated it
to you, in conseqiitnce of which you were
disturbed in mind. This was natural, aud
I was far from blaming you ; but it afforded
me an opportunity for a test which I had
peculiar reason for desiring to apply. I
penned a brief note to Mr. Oglethorp, gave
it to you to seal, and watched you after pro
ceeding from that window. I thought tho
temptation would prove a severe one, and
that if you arose superior to it I need never
have any fears concerning you. I was right,
the temptation was Btrong too strong for
your honor or integrity to withstand. I saw
you open the letter it was enough. I did
not at all wonder when I heard of you op
plying for a new situution ; you thought I
was acting treacherously to you, and that
you would outwit me."
Mr. Beale cca9cd, nnd looked fixedly at
Ilicbard, whose whole countenanco was suf
fused w ith blushes as tho true nature of his
conduct was brought thus calmly to Lis
viotv. In his indignant feelings he had not
till this moment thought of bis direliction
of principle in opening a letter not intended
for his inspection ; now he was overwhelm
ed with shame and remorse, for ho was nat
urally upright nnd ingenuous.
Mr. Beule saw his confusion, and turned
to his desk to pay what was due ot Rich
ard's salary, but first taking some papers
from a secret drawer, threw tlietn on the
table before the young man.
"All this is at an end now," he said, "but
you may see how unjust your suspicion was
to me, how injurious to yoursclt, as I said
awhile ago,"
Richard's eyes were intently bent upon
the papers. One wns iu the merchant's
handwriting, a notice of Richard Wilkins
having becu admitted as a junior partner
ir.to bis own and established business firm ;
the others were necessary business papers
relating thereto ; Richard continued gazing
at them as if fascinated, till the merchant's
voico broke the spell.
"Well, young man : do you understand
the matter now ?"
"Oh, sir," said Richard, turning bis eyes
imploringly on him, und then unable to re
press his tortured feelings, ho bent his head
on the tublo to concetti the fast gushing
tears.
"Regret is unavailing now," said Mr.
Beale, in his clear, cold tones. "I had every
reason to place confidence in yon. During
theso four years I have observed your con
duct closely. It was such as to satisfy mo ;
and resolviug to reward your strict integrity
and faithfulness, I had decided to take you
n partnership as you see by these papers,
prepared nearly two mouths ago, and only
awaiting the signutures and date. My friend
Mr. Oglethorp, had frequently mentioned
nephew, whom ho much desired mo to
employ. At his last visit I agreed to do so.
It was my intention to give you an agreeable
surprise to-morrow, and therefore I desired
to keep all my arrangements secret, lortu
natclv as I now see. for my whim enabled
mo to test the strength ot your principles."
"Oh. if you could only Jorgive nio, Mr.
Beale," exclaimed Richard, imploringly. "It
was my first error iu this regard 1 am sure
it will be my last."
For all answer, Mr. Uenlc quietly pushed
tho money he had counted over to Richard,
aud picking up the papers, tore tiitni into
small fragments. The young man looked
sadly at them, hut Knowing tuai rcmon
straucc or entreaty was nuko unavuihng in
the stern man. he by a strong enort con
quered his emotion, and, taking up bis
inonev. bowed ins tnanKS anu lareweu to
his late employer, and turned to leave the
room. As he laid his hand on tho door
knob, be paused and askod, in a still fuller
inir voice, if Mr. Curtis was informed ot all
this.
"Xo. I did not think it necessary to speak
of it," said Mr. Beale, for I had reason to
think it was your first departure irom cue
straight loud ; and though all business con
nections between us has ceafed, yet I would
cot iniure your reputation by revealing an
act which I thought you would regret. You
will find Mr. Curtis a more indulgent em
ployer than the one you are leoving ; your
salary will bo larger tuan u uas ueen litre,
so that on the whole, perhaps, you are no
loser, and I hope for vur sake that your
first error will prove also your last,"
Richard sadlv left the store. On the mor
row be entered on the duties of his new sit
uution. It proved azrceuble, and the addl
tion to his previous salary wns of great use
to bim
sand men were there opposed, and possibly
half ft million, as bulletins say. We all
know how armies are magnified on both
sides till after a defeat, and in this war the
military braggart has been as eminently
elastic as in our own. Tho least truthful of
all contemporary historians is the soldier
himself. Had ho to write our descriptions
he might make his own reputation, but
would certainly ruin ours. At Austerlitz
Bonaparte opposed seventy thousand men
to tho allies' ninety thousand. Kadowa
was fought in the month M' July, Auster
litz past tho meridiau of November. The
former was tho most terrible butchery, tho
most artful embattling.
One finds in the Sudowa battle only the
Prussian Crown Prince's swift and perseve
ring march to applaud ; but Austerlitz was
a piece of daring adroitness, fought eight
hundred miles from Puris, with a great and
incensed capital to guard behind, and not,
as at Sadowa, tbe Italian army of Austria
compelled to faco tho Po, but marching
vigorously, eighty thousand strong, upon
the Frenchman's rear, whilo Prussia, secretly
inimical to bim, was edging up through
Bohemia to join the allies at tho first note
of their success. Tho great inveigler, plead
ing false desires for peace, first flushed the
allies till they were over-certain, assisted
them to advance victoriously, till by their
very success they had become outflanked,
then drove them pell-mell upon his bayonets
on the one hand and on the frozen lake on
tho other, where they weie drowned by
acres wheu the ice crashed under the French
artillery. Both battles were equally signal
defeats to Austria. Sadowa was a more pi
quant misery, becauso inflicted on her in
sight of Germany, and bv a lesser state.
My ride over the field of Sadowa was
scarcely pleasurable, because the cholera
had left there ouly the collapsed and aged,
nnd tho peusants hereabouts have the repu
tation of veritable ghouls and giuoms, whose
atrocities to the dead pass human belief.
Tbey have behaved worse than any class of
savages would do in America, cutting purses
and jewelry from the wounded, stripping
tho dead of garments, in a word, reveuging
themselves upon history, which has doue
nothing for them these three centuries. Sad
owa itself is nn Europeun Culpepper ; for ex
ample, a little stony-fuced town, with a
bulbously-sbapcd church steeple in it, two
beer-shops, and the usual per ccatage of
Austrain civil officers.
An old woman in black stockings stood
alone in tho open place of the hamlet, look,
iug at tho hospital wagons that passed across
tho horizon, bhe did not know anything,
except tbnt two of the Hasiner Somebody's
boys, near by, had gono oil with the soldiers
a week ago to get back their horses, im
pressed after action. Had we seen them t
No ? That was strange I That was all she
knew about tbe light. Everything in the
place is more or less shot to pieces. The
battle field itself is a series of hills, half
corn-patch, half scrub timber, inclined to
be mountainous, and to some extent resem
bling tbe lands nt tho foot of tho Blue
Ridge Cedar Mountain, lor example. At
places on it there nre vistus of far white
plains, prtune-likc, but ot the deadly Bpots
themselves nothing remains save the uneven
trenches, where the dead, dumped in as
they lay, remain to testily Bgaiust the mon
strous enigma of ambition, submission, and
ignorance m which they penslicd at mat
fur dim time when Uod shall make it plain
why our kiud aro thus causelessly and per
petually slaughtered. At this spot the two
Prussian armies capped the double lines of
victory: teachnow, Todoll, Alunchcngratz,
Gitschin on the. one hand, Nachod, Skulitz,
Trautenau, on the other. It would be absurd
for me to waste limo in describing a series
of bare slope-stretches and curving hills
about which nona oi your readers had a i
particle of curiosity. Suffice it to say that
all the view of Sadowa is a rcpatition of tho
irginm miseries of our own rebellion ; not
any better country, though it bus tbe spruce
ness and tidiness of age over it all; better
cleaned up, better contented, but inhabited
by hewers of wood ond drawers of water,
who forget that Christ ever came, in tue
better recollection that they may some day
go hencu to Him.
The gravis ot tho dead ure marKCd wun

at Berlin, but as I lay awake last night at
Brunu, in a triple-bedded room, talking
with some Austrian oflicers about it all, I
could not make out otherwise than that, by
all this murdering, Germany stands as she

Important to the Iron Intercuts of
the l. ulted St a ten.
The United States Consul at Sheffield,
England, under date of Angust 27th, in a
communication to the Secretary of tho Trea
sury, states that he was not present in Not
tingham on the reading of a paper before
tho British Mechanical Association on the
conversion of melted cat iron into steel by
i ne pneumatic process. A discussion fol
lowed, which was participated in by Mr.
liessemor and other gentlemen. Consul Ab-
OOt further Sav tlint lip rnllorl tlm nlntinn
of Mr. Bessemer to what has been stated by
bis opponents to be a defect in his mode of
converting iron into steel, namely, that when
lurgo masses of melted iron, amounting to
from three to twelve tors, arc converted into
steel, it does not become homogeneous Mr
Bessemer partly admitted tholrorce of the
objection, but stated that in tho works near
i."muuu uu improvement uaci ueen made by
which, after tho introduction of the Spiegel
Eiscn, the whole is stirred tip by arms'fitted
to a revolving cylinder, ne also stated that
the iron of the United Stales which ho had
seen was peculiarly adapted to the manufac
ture of steel by his process. In England
only tho very best of iron can be used for
this purpose, ond that which is most free
from foreign substances, sueh as sulphur and
phosphorus. The iron which is chiefly used
in the Bessemer works are varieties of red
hemitaite, tho best of which is found on
Morecatr.be bay, near Furncss Abbey. Con
sul Abbot closes by snying, "Valuable as is
this invention pf Mr" Bessemer, I cannot
recommend it to American manufacturers
unless they make use, in the procesx, of the
very best pig iron, and that which is com
paratively free from phosphorus, sulphur
and other impurities."
The following is nn abstract of the re
marks of Mr. Bessemer, alluded to in the
communication of Consul Abbot : "Before
the introduction of his process, the entire
production of steel in Great Britain was one
thousand tons per week, and now there is
machinery for the production, by his process
alone, of five thousand tons in the same pe
riod. One of tho most valuable purposes to
which his steel has been applied, is the con
struction of locomotive engines and rails.
Where iron had been worn out Jn a few
months, steel had been in constant use for
four years, at the end of which time he first
side was still in use. At Camden Town
there is a portion of railway over w hich an
immense traffic passed. An iron rail und a
Bessemer steel rail were placed opposite
each other, and when the iron rail had been
changed seventeen times, tho steel rail was
still not worn."
The Bessemer slcel is also valuable for the
manufacture ot tires, tho construction of,
orduance, shafts for marine engines, cranks,
and notably for the cranks of locuaiotites ;
indeed, there is scarcely any purpose for
which malleable iron was formerly used that
steel cannot now be employed. A yard of
tlietanxien town rail to which he referred,
wns sent to Sheffield to be made into round
bars, ond came out of the rolling mill in
beautiful black bars, three-eights, five
eighths, and three-fourths of an inch iu di-
unieter, and were worth not less than 18
per ton, the cost of conversion betas: less
than 2 per ton. In regard to tho price of
steel Mr. Bessemer said that firms that had
expended large sums in plans and machin
ery, desired at first as larce a return as pos
sible from their outlay, but when manufac
turers had been remunerated for their first
largo outlay, they would bo more reasonable
in their demands.
The price of cast stetl in Sheffield, for the
lowest purposes, such as mtikini; shyvcls.
Mr. B. said, was from 30 to ,40 per ton,
and the better kinds cost from A'30 to 80,
according to tho reputation of tbe maker;
but at this time thousands of tons were sold
at 13 per ton.
What In "One H?re.Woucr"
Tho use of the term "horse power" is very
common; yet few, except good mechanics
and engineers, attach a definite meaning to
it but regard it na indicating, loosely, about
the power which ono horse would exert. It
is, however, when U3ed in the sense under
consideration, as definite as possible, and
means the power required to lift 83,000
pounds avoirdupois ono foot high in one
minute.
A horse hitched to the end of a rope over
a pulley ono foot in diameter placed over ft
deep well, traveling at the rale of about 2
miles per hour, or 233 feet per minute, will
draw up 150 pounds tuo came distance lie
travels. The force thus exerted is called, by
mechanics, a "horse power," it being aa. ap
proximation to the average amount of con
tinuous power it is fair to demand of a
strong horse. If we multiply tbe weight
raised (130 pounds) by the number of feet it
wns moved per minute, (220.) the product
will be tho number of pounds which tho
same power would raise one foot in the eawo
length of time (33,000 pounds.)
Tho dynamonetcr is an instrument mude
for measuring power, particularly that ex
erted in drawing. Those used for testing
the draft of agricultural implements are very
atroug spring balances, or spring steel-yards,
grauuted to indicate thej)owcr required to.
raise any weight, within reasonablo limit, at
tho rato of 2J miles per hour. When we
apply this dynamonetor, in ascertaining the
drafts of machines if the index indicates opo
hundred and fifty pounds, it is shown that
tho horse is required to draw just as hard as
he would do if raising one hundred and fifty
pounds out of a well with a ropo over a pul
ley one foot in diameter at the rate of 1
miles per hour, and so for other weights.
Tho velocity with which tlia team moves
is to be considered, as well as the weight to
bo raised, or the load to be drawn. If a
horse travels faster than two and a half miles
per hour, while raising one hundred nnd fifty
pounds out of a well, he exerts more than
one horse power. If he walks slower than,
tula, be does not exert a force etiual to one
horse-power.
In ascertaining the draught of a plow, or
or reaper and mower, by drawiug faster
than two and a half miles per hour, the
dynamometer would indicute more than the
correct (Iraugbt; and by driving slower, tbe
draught would appear' to bo less than it
really is. In testing the draught pf ma
chines, a tham should always move at the
rote of two and a half miles per hour, or two
hundred and twenty feet per minute, which
is the universally accepted rata with refer
ence to which dynamometers are graduated,
and an easy ono to which to approximate ia
driving with almost any kind of team.
Many ' people have supposed that three
hundred pounds two-horse power repre
sent the same force that a team would exert
when dragging S00 pounds ulono on the
road. A horse cnu h:.ul buu pounds on tbe
hard ground with ease, but he could not
draw hard enough on tho dynamometer to
mark more than'250 or U00 pounds, except
for a few minutes. The power of a man is
estimated at one-fifth of a horse-power.--.'Iinffta

In not having waicr in tuo yard for tbe
cattle, in place of driving them through
snow and all kinds of weather to the creek,
thereby losing more in manure during a
