April, ISi5:». - K S. S. In the Seiith Wales Institute, of Engineers a paper was recently read on tliis subject by Mr. W, Mather, . The Engineer (London) says: After referring at considerable length to the Chinese system of boring, (which appears to ■have dated from a very-early period,), and, thf, attempts more recently made on the .Continent and in Germany, he alluded to the present plan adopt d by the continental known as Rind’s system, which is considered to be the perfection of boring machines. . The system known as Rind’s is still the rod system,ftvith j certain modifications to lessen the risks and' difficulties in boring to great depths. It was owing to the imperfections of the rod system that the Attention of a relative of the writer (Mr. Colin Mather) was first directed to the subject of boring, and after much investigation and experiment, constructed and patented,-, a machine in 1855, jmd whfth may fairly claim the name of the.‘English system,’ as thepnly undwhioh-has not originated among, the con: tioental engineers. In the bu.ricg tool, and the method of giving the percussive action, and also in the shell-pump, especial novelty will he found. Instead-of tb.eaejiatter__being attached to rods, as in the old system, they are suspend ed an turn by a flat rope, about half, an inch thick and four and a half inches kroad, such as; are in common use inuollieries, andjdie b.oting tootand punip lire let down, and 'drawn up'as quickly as the backets and cages in the' shaft. The rope is wb'nnd iupon a large drum by fi steam engine with a reversing motion, by which one man can regulate, the operation with (he greatest ease. * . “ The general arrangement of the machine is asftiitlows; Tbo_winding.dr.um jsj ten feet in diameter, and is capable of .holding-three thou*' snhd' feet of rope, four and a half inches broad and one-half inch thick; from the .dram the rope passes under a guide .pulley, through a clamp, and oekr the pulley, which is supported on the fork enji of the piston-rod, and so td the end, which receives the boring head, which, being hooked oh and lowered to the . bottom, the rope is gripped by the-clarop. A small-jet .of 1 steam is turned Vm, causing the -piston To’: rise slowly until-the arm moves the'clamp.’and gives the full chaise of steam ; an'accelerated - morion ts then gi'y.eirtu "the piston, .raising the boring head the required height,' when’.the’ steam is shut off, and'the exhaust opened, thus affecting uno stroke of the boring head as regu l , larly"as a back-pressure valve in the exhaust pipe. The exhaust port is six inches from the, - bottom of the cylinder; when the piston de scends to this -puipt--it-rests on a cushion of -steam, which .prevents concussion. To in crease the. lift of the boring -bead, or compen sate fot the elasticity of the'rope, which’ is . found to fib one inch in one hundred feet, it is simply necessary ..to raise, the clamps ,on the damp shaft white the percussive motion is in operation. The clamp which.grips, the rope is fixed-to.aeiulu -aiul-«orew, by whiob means-’the rope can be given out as reauireA. ; , * “ Wheu this operation is completed, and the] strata out up by a succession of strokes thus effected, the steam is shut off fromthe percussive | cylinder, the ropd- undamped, the winding-en gine put in motion, and the boring head brought up and slung from the over-head suspension bur .by a hook fitted with a roller to traverse the bar. The shell-pump is then lowered, the dtbeis pumped into it by lowering and raising the bucket about three. times, which the rever sing motion of the winding engine readily' ad mits of, and then brought up to the surface and emptied by a icry simple arrangement. The rapidity with which these operations may he carried on, proved by experience with the ma-, chine is somewhat as follows; The boring baadls lowered,at.the cafe of five hundred' fpet' per minute; the percussive motion gives twen- I ty-four blows per minute. This, continued in. red sandstone’and- other similar strata- for about ten minutes issufficient to enable the optfers to penetrate six inches, when the boring head is.again wound op at the rate of three hundred fiet -per minute. The shell-pump-ig • lowered and raised in the same, but, only re mains down about two minutes', when it is withdrawn to empty the debris, an operation occupying two or three minutes.” Of all the actions of, a man’s life his marry ing the least concern-other people;. yet of all the actions of' a man's life it is the most meddled with by other Those vrho.fnake, too, free with tumblers are very apt to become 'tumblers themselves. ’ [For the.

Many writers have gone into the question of the probable stature, strength and configura tion of our fellow-beings - in other spheres.— Christian Wolff long ago fixed the height of the -inhobitnnts of Jupiter at forty feet eight inches. 'The FouricrUts have tooro recently imagined a kind o.f celestial hierarchy in which the suc cessive groups rise one above another, in analo gy with those of the lower universe; into what M. Renaud has termed binivers, trivivers, qua triui vara, etc. -The planets themselves have souls, and die out, as ours will do, to give place to newer forms of planetary life. Swedenborg, (everybody knows,) grew so familiar' with the inhabitants of‘the several planets in which he was in the habit of spending his leisure mo ments of spiritual ecstasy, that he has left us little to find our touching the moral and other characteristics of our brethren in those abodes. The feelings with which we, in turn, inspire those remote relations of ours—the- lively warmth of Venus, the dignified calm of Jupi ter,-the sardonic coldness of Satnrn—are not ices matters of fact and veracity. Science, thus interpreted, points to a place for our souls among those radiant spheres. Transported 'among new conditions of existence, they may contract or put forth powers akin to those of the happier beings whose lot has been already cast here. And as to what that lot may be, it makes the mouth water to listen to M. Flam marion lecturing us. In an atmosphere no longer composed of oxygen and nzote.'what ills of climate may not be spared those fortu nate denizens ? Ttio whole pulmonary appa ratuses doubtless modified, and. with. it. the whole system of organic function. Instead of the gross and clumsy plan of keeping up the bodily growtlr'und warmth by food, liquid and solid, —the degrading expedient of borrowing for that end, the Tj of other beings, and, worst of all, that of, killing and devouring those endowed with life,—there may bo a sys-. tern of .nourishing atmospheres,” composed of elements nutritious in themselves, and capable of assimilation by organs' of corresponding ethereal texture. In-the general repeal of laws which belongs to man’s inferior state, that of “ labor” may come in for the earliest abolition, and with it go all those vulgar cares, appetites, and amlfiifcoDs to which so much of the misery and enmii of terrestrial life are due. Vice will never have arisen. The origin of evil will, offer no point for philosophers to wrangle over ;| for evil itself will never have stepped in, An-1 other “ law” abrogated, or rather never set in -force, will be that of “ death.” War and vio lence, excess anil decay, being unknown in those happy regions; the idea of dying will be ■oufc'ofthe’ question. Peace : and right will reign' undisturbed. The very faculties of the intellect will partake;the purity and the eleva tion., of the., moral nature. The tedious and cumbrous processes of experiment and obser vation will be replaced by.a direct and trans cended vision pf trath. It seems as if the limit of logic itaelf-wHI ba.atr.uok-off.Ba fetters from the spirit. The old problems insoluble' here will L seem perfectly _opntamj)tible. The circle will have been squared there long ago, and phi losophers’ stones will be .picked up by the .roadside. The elixir of. life, indeed, will be unknown*, because, as we have sden, it will°bo superfluous.

A number of us schoobboys were I playing by the roadside one' Saturday after-I noon, when the stage coach drove up to a I neigboring inn, and the passengers'alighted.— i’ As ugual, we gathered around to observe them. 1 Among the number was an elderly man, who! got out with muoh difficulty, and when on. the ground be walked with his feet turned one -way and hia kneds another, in a very awkward manner. I thoughtlessly shouted—-’* Look at old rattlebones 1” - The poor old man turned I hia head with an expression of pain which I can never forget. “Just then, to my surpise and horror, ray father came round the corner, and immediately stepping up to the stranger, shook bis hand warmly, and assisted him to walk to our house, j which was but a little way off. 1 could enjoy ; no more play that afternoon, and when the j time came I would gladly have hid myself, but j I knew it would be in vain, and so tremblingly i went into the sitting room.

Rowland Bill. This eccentric, but most earnest and success ful minister in the English" church. had a hard struggle in the- beginning of his ministry, to obtain ordination, and to resist family influ ences. • Dr. Stevens' gives a graphic sketch of his.tcooblea _ " - Six bishops refused Hill ordination. Ha fol lowed the advice of Barridge, and went.forth wherever the way opened, “ into the devil’s territbries.” Hu preached in in dis senting chapels; and on'the highways. Ha was often mobbed; saluted with the beating of pans and shovels,- the—blewiug-ef- horns and ringing of bells,'pelted with dirt and'figgs, and sometimes in peril of hiS“life. He was once fired at, while in the pulpit, the ball passing over his head. Hie visits to the paternal home were render ed miserable by the opposition of his parents; but consoled,by his devoted sister, be ceased not to preach in all the vioinity ; and her gen tle influence and charities, aided by his labors and those of his brother, resulted in much lo cal usefulness. . Five of the family were soon united with them in the faith, besides some of the household servants and neighbors. In his old age, when his fame was in all the churches, and, indeeed, in all the English world, be remarked, while walking on the ter aee at Hawkestone, to a friend who had noticed the affectionate courtesies of the family toward him : “ You see how X am • received here, but in my youtb I have often passed this spot bit terly weeping; while by most of the inhabi tants of yonder house I was considered as a disgrace to my family. ‘-But/’ha added, ns the tears fell down his aged cheeks, “it was for the cause of my God.” His brother, Sir Riobard, though not contem plating holy orders, had sometimes "labored as a lay preacher, or exhotter ; but believing that as a layman be might be otherwise -more use ful, he yielded to the entreaties of his parents, and abandoned such “ irregularities.” He was sent by bis family to persuade his brother to follow his example. Arriving at Bristol, he wae informed that Rowland had gone to Kings wood to preach to the colliers; there he discov ered him standing up among weeping thosands, upon whose blackened cheeks could be seen the the traces of their flowing tears. Rowland saw him in the crowd, and suspecting his errand, preached wlth|the greater energy and effect.— Determined to defeat the design, be concluded by shouting—My brother, Richard Hill, Esq., will preach here to-morrow. The yonng man did preach, and instead of retbrning with his brother to Hawkestone, becanje bis coadjntor in the very work he designed jo persuade him to'relinquish.

Useless Young Ladies. —lt scarcely admits -of doubt that the number of young ladies is constantly increasing who think happiness de pendent on, freedom - from responsibility and labor, andSvish to have nothing to do but to read novels, or give themselves to pleasnsa.— A contemporary says: “The number of idle useless girls, in all our large cities seems to be steadily increasing. They lounge or sleep through their mornings, and parade the streets during the afternoon, and assemble in frivolous | companies of their own and other sex to pass I away their evenings. What a store of hap piness for themselves and others are laying up I for the coming time, when real dnties and ' high responsibilities shall be thoughtlessly assumed I They -are skilled in no domestic duties—nay, they, despise them, have no habits df industry nor taste for' the useful. will they be as wives and mothers ? Alas for the husbands and children, and alas for them selves 1 Who can wonder if domestic ruin fol low?” . There are some people always looking out for slights. They cannot pay a visit, they cannot 'receive a friend; they cannot carry on inter course of the family, without suspecting some offence is designed. They are as touchy os hair triggers. If they meet an acquaintance in the street who happens to be preoccupied with busi ness, they attribute bis abstraction to some mo tive personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault of their irritability A fit of indigestion makes them see impertinence in everybody they come in. contact with. Innocent persons, who never dreamed of giving offence's, are astonished to find some unfortunate word, or some moment ary taciturnity mistaken for insult. Rates of Advertising.

My ink is pale and I have no ale. My'pen is poor and so is my grub. My quarters in camp are passable, but the quarters in my pocket are not. Last night I bad a mud paddle for my pillow, and covered myself with a sheet of water. I long for more whiskey barrels dad less gun barrels, more biscuit and less ballets.

Rufus Choate, in an important marine as-' sault-and-battery-at-sea case, had Dick Barton chief mate of the clipper ship Challenge, on the stand, and badgered him so for about an hour, that at last Dick got his salt up, and hauled by the wind to bring the keen Boston lawyer under his batteries. At the beginning of his testimony. Dick had said that the night was “ dark as the devil, and raining like seven bells.” Suddenly Mr. Choate asked him— v “ Was there a moon that night ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ Ah, yes 1 A moon—” “ Yes, a full moon.” “ Did you see it ?” “ Not a mite.’* “ Then how do you know there was s moon ?” “ Nautical almanac said so, and Pll beliefs that sooner ’n any lawyer ’n this world.” 1 “ What was the principal luminary that night, sir ?” “ Binnacle lamp aboard the Challenge.” ■ 1 “Ah, you are growing, sharp, Mr. Barton.” “ Wfhat in blazes have yon been grinding ms this hour for—to makd me ddjl V’ "Be civil, sir.

Why, I thought every fool of a lawt yer knew there ain’t no latitude on the Eqna-I tor." • ■; That shot floored Rufus Choate. Defekce of the Goose. —lt is a great libel to accuse a goose of being a silly bird. Even a tame goose shows much instinct- and attach ment; and were its habits more closely ob served, the tame goose would be found to be by no means wanting in general cleverness. .Its watchfulness at night-time is, and always has been, proverbial: add it certainly is endowed with a strong organ of self-preservation. -Ton may drive over dog, oat, hen, or pig; but I defy you to drive over a tame goose. As for wild geese, I know of no animal, biped or qnadrn ped, that is so difficult to deceive or approach. Their senses of bearing, seeing, and smelling, are all extremely acute; independently of which they appear to aot in so organized and cautions a manner when feeding or roosting, as to defy all danger.— Sportsman.
