The abbey was at first called the Abbey of Sweetheart, front the heart of the husband of the fair founder having been embahned and placed in an ivory box hound with silver, which was built into the walls of the church near the altar. But the name was afterwards altered to that of " New Abbey." The ruins of the abbey exhibit the remains of a beautiful lofty building of the light Gothic style of architecture. Its church is 194 feet long, 102 feet broad at the cross, and 00 feet at the ends, with a tower upwards .f 00 feet high. This structure stands in the middle of a fine level field of about 20 acres, called the Precinct, enclosed by a stone wall 8 or 10 feet high, built of granite stones of great size. Some of them, even near the top of the wall, seem to be no less than a ton weight. There used to be, if there is not at the pres ent day, a lonely mill close by the little pic turesque monastery of Sweetheart's Abbey ; and this lonely mill is said to have been the scene of the following story, which, whether it be regarded as an instance of presence of mind in a female, or ns a special interposition of Providence, is equally remarkable and wor thy of attention IL Wtl.9 on a Sunday . morning, " ages long ago," that the miller of this mill and his whole family went forth to hear the holy mass, at the church attached to Sweetheart's Abbey. The mill—which was also his residence— was left In charge of a servant girl named Jenny, n' stout-hearted lass, who had long lived with him in that capacity. An infant child, of an age unlit for church, was left in her charge likewise. The girl was busily employed lu preparing the dinner, when who should enter but an old sweetheart of hers, named Herrick Lochdee. Herrick was an idle, graceless fellow, whom the miller had forbade the house; but whom dennj : (oily liked, perhaps the better, because others gat e him no co u ntenance. She e a ts glad to see him, and she told him so ; and gave him something to out, and gossipped with hint as he despatched the ibad she set before him. As he ate, howevor, he let hill bi.s knilO. " Pick up that, my lass, — said he in a joking way to the good-matured girl. She ,looped down, accordingly, to pick up the knife. • CUM As site was in the net of rising, however, the treacherous villain caught her by the nape of her neck, and griping her throat firmly witlt Ins fingers topreceit her screaming the'while, drew a dagger from under his coat. " Now, lass," he said, staring as .he spoke " where is your master's money Y I will have t , Dat or your life: so take your choice." She implored him not to make such a horri ble resolution ; hut, •• .)later's money or your life, hiss" was till he would say. " Well, well, Herrick," said she, resign edly ; " what is to be must be ; but if you take the money 1 will even go along with you. This will be no home for me any more. lint ease your gripe of toy neck a little ; don't squeeze so hard :-1 can't movc—you hug me so tight. Besides, time presses ; and if It be done at all it must be done quickly, for the household will shortly be back. . Thu ruffian relaxed his gripe, and finally let go his bold. " Collie" she said, " quick I quick I—no de lay. The money is in master's bedroom." She led the way into her master's bedroom, and pointed out the coffee in which his money was concealed. " Here," she said, reaching him an axe, " this will wrench it open at once, and I shall just step up to my own apartment and get a few things ready for our flight." "Go, less," he said, " but be not long," She disappeared at the words. 'lie immediately broke open the chest. and began rummaging the contents: While he was thus employed the bravo hearted girl stole down the stairs on tip-toe, and creeping softly along the Passage reached the door of the' chamber unseen by him,. and likewise unheard. It was but the work of a moment for her to turn the key In the ward and lock him In. This done, she rushed forth to the outer door of the mill and gave the alarm. " Fly I fly I" she shrieked to the child, her master's little boy. " Fly to father 1 Fly . on your life ! Tell him we shall all be mur dered, an lie haste not back. Fly I Fly 1" The child at once obeyed the command of the g i rl, and sped as fast as his legs could carry him on the road by which he knew his parents would return from church. Jenny sat down on the stone bench by the mill door to ease her over excited spirit. A. shrill whistle from the grated window of the. chamber in which she had shut up the ruffian Rerrrick reached her ears. "Robin 1 Robin 1" she heard him shout, "catch the child and come hither. lam fast. Como hither ! Bring the child here, and kill t he girl." Jenny thought to herselt that this alarm was a false one, but just as the child reached a hollow in the next field—the channel of a natural drain,—she saw another ruffian start up, and, catching him in his arms, hasten to. wards the mill, in accordance with the direc tions of his accomplice. • In a moment she perceived her danger. Retreatiug Into the mill, she double locked and bolted the door, and then took her post at an upper casement. She had scarcely time to secure herself with in, when the ruffian from without, holding the hapless child in one• hand, and a long sharp knife in the other, assailed the door with kicks and curses of the most dreadful character. "Confound thee !" he cried. "Open the door or I'll break it on ye." "If you can, you may," was all the girl re plied. "Cut the brat's throat," roared the hnpri soncd ruffian from above. " That will bring her to reason." " An ye open not the door," shouted the villinn from without, " I'll hock this whelp's limbs to pieces With my knife, and then burn the mill on your lived." . . " I put my trust in Chid," replied the girl. " Never shall ye set foot within these walls whilst I have life to prevent ye."

Ins dismay was indescribable when he be gan to be whirled about with its rotation. llis cries were most appalling—his shrieks were truly fearful—his curses were horrible to hear. .Jenny hastened to the spot, and saw him caught like a reptile, as he was, in his own trap. It need not be added, that she did not liber ate him. She knew that he would be inure frightened than hurt if he kept within his rotatory prison. Meanwhile the wheel went round with its steady, unseasing motion ; and round and round went the ruffian along with it, steadily and unceasingly, too.

( going forward, they saw what appeared to hi! three -trunks or trees, lying on a sandbank fully a mile ahead. Mnstapha, who was an excellent shot, was busily loading his gun, while all the other sailors pointed to the dis tant objects, repeating the cry of "Tints:tell !" Charles's excellent glass seas brought into re. quisition, and in a short time the crocodiles were plainly discerned. They were basking in the sun, and apparently . asleep. The largest could not be less than twelve feet long. Before the boat could get within gun-shot they scented to become aware of its approne' , and quietly glided into the water. This was a disappointment ; but Charles was consoled by hearing that they were fifty miles above Minyeh, the lowest part of the Nile that croco-• (tiles frequent, and that scarcely a day would pass without his seeing some. Mustaphts had been so much engaged in preparing to haven shot at the creatures that it: was not till they disappeared that he woke up to the fact that the excellent dinner he had sent to table was getting cold. He was Atm mach au enthusiast In his art, to suffer his preparation to be treated with neglect, and Ids master was amused by the anxiety lie showed to see •them again placed at the table. Frotu. this time "a covey of crocodiles" was n frequent sight ; once as many as sixteen, sonic of them very large, were discovered in a band. It was not often that they allowed the vessel to approach near enough to afford the opportunity of a good shot, but now and then they gave Mustapha a chance. lie was always on the alert, mid most desirous to kill one. The young people felt as anxious, and pleased themselves with •the notion of having it. stuffed and sent home. The sailors, too, were much interested in Mustapha's success. They looked forward to some hearty meals on the flesh, which is con sidered a great delicacy among the Arabs. in the course of the 'voyage several were struck by the bullets, which their hard skins easily repelled. Two were wounded, one severely, for it with difficulty crawled into the river ; but none were killed. They have doubtless, all the tenacity of life possessed by reptiles, and as on any attack or even alarm, they seek the water, there appears to be no chance of se curing one, unless, width is very unusual, they are wonnded in a vital part, and die im mediately. The people on the Nile hold them in some dread, but assert that they never at tack a man while swimming in deep water, but watch the opportunity whet; he stands up and is walking to the shore, to seize him by the leg and draw him under. In this way a boy about twelve years old was killed during our travelers' voyage. Dreading a similar fate, one of the sailor's excused himself from wading alter a wild goose that Mustapha shot. Ills refusal gave the cook great offence, and he was sharply rebuked for his laziness and cowardice, but acted very wisely in not ven turing.—The Boat and the Caravan.

One of my neighbors recommended an application of plaster, as lie thought the road had been Summer-fallered' too. much to raise crops without a stimulant ; and as this was my firs experience in agriculture, I acted on his sug gestion, and applied one of Alcock's porous plasters to each hill.

Mac:tory. ISM his perseverance was at last rewarded, and his Invention so far perfected, that, although the making of cast steel is now conducted with greater economy and dex terity, it is questionable whether any maker since has been able to surpass the quality of Huntsman's manufacture. The process Or making cast steel, as Invent ed by Benjamin Huntsman, may be thus stun warily described : The melting is conducting in clay pots or crucibles manufactured for the purpose, capable of holding about thirty-four pounds each. Ten or twelve of such cruci bles are placed in a melting furnace similar to that used by brass founders ; and when the furnace and pots are at a white heat, to which they are raised by it coke fire, they are charged with bar steel reduced to a certain degree of hardness, and broken into pieces of about a pound each. When the pots are all thus charged with steel, lids are placed over them, the furnace is filled with coke, and the, cover put down. Under the intense heat to which the metal is exposed, it undergoes an apparent ebullition. When the furnace requires . feed ing, the worknten take the opportunity or lifting the lid of each crucible, and judging . 11: far the process has advanced. After about three boars' exposure to the heat, the metal is ready for "teeming." The comple tion of the melting process is known by the athsidence of all ebullition, and by the clear surface of the melted metal, which is of n daz zling brilliancy, like the sun when looked at with the naked eye on a clear day. The pots are then lifted out or their place, and the liquid steel is poured into Ingots of the shape and size rcipilred. The pats are replaced, filled again, and the process is repeated ; the red•hot pots thus serving for three successive charges, after which they are rejected as useless.

NO. 22 BREAKING A WELD HORSE IN Preparation now began for saddling the Endemoniado, no easy task, for, in order to saddle him, it was necessary to keep him on his legs: and, as If ho had guessed the pro• Ject of the vanqueros, he began to klek out furiously. A lasso was passed under. the fetf lock of the left hind-leg, and fastened tightly' to the breast-leather of the horse, so as to, press the thigh against the belly. The right front leg was bent by tlio same means, and,. , thus kept in eqUilibrinm, the horse was con demned to immobility. Benito seized his hestYy saddle by the pummel and throw, it over the back of the horse, who, shook and, trembled when his loins felt this burden,,and the large wooden stirrups rebounded against his sides. The - girth ;was violently tightened , under the belly, and the vaquero seated hint T self on the sand to fasten his spurs on,,ida , feet. At this moment I glanced towardp the stand. Maria Antonia was, motionless t but her large black eyes, immoderately open, sparkled in her now pale face, and the agltit- • lion of her bosom betrayed her agoey,.DOn Ramon himself seemed frightened, and, once I hoped lie was about to recall the permission which exposed the intrepid young man to al most certain death. But he said nothing. When Benito had fastened his spurs, the tmuds which lien' the horse's legs were loos ened, and the leathern bandage tied over his eyes. Yet, though held by the rope, which twisted his lip, the furious leaps of the Ends- moniado prevented his being mounted. Ho was forced down on his knees, and two va queros, each biting our of his ears, kept him thus a second. Benito sprung on the horse's buck. "Let him go," he exclaimed, in a kin voice. The two vaqueros jumped quickly back, whilst the Endemoniado started tip as if moved by some concealed mechasim. Owing to ,the leathern bandage that blinded him, he at first stood on his legs, trembling with upturned nostrils. Benito availed hints if oi' this short respite to sent himself firmly in the saddle, leant forward, and raised the bandage that' covered the Endemonia.liii; ey.--t. Then win ammed a truly admirabb• stiti.sidi between the amt and the beast. night ClV'd at the sudden light, which d his bloodshot eves, shaking his laugh ti I. am, which stood erect with-rage, the tier neighed terri bly, and bounded toward, the lour points of the conipass, as if to seem the wind.

The toiled Eta 1.,.1 11 it ludo reared suddenly on his haunches. Ia i aiart'in spurs, running into his groins, ms•is Ii to roar. In stead of falling on his legs, re w himself violently on his back. The spectators all screamed ; but the pummle of the saddle alone had knocked against the earth with a lugubri ous sound. Benito, foreseeing the shock, had sprung rapidly to the ground. In the midst of a cloud of dust the astonished specta tors soon beheld the horse-tamer leap Into the saddle by the off side, against all equestrian rules, at the moment when the bewildered horse got up neighing. The vaquero, in his turn appeared mad with fury. For the first time in his life he hat been unhorsed, ..Im patient to revenge this insult, his legs ,never ceased pressing the horse's sides but trt trace bloody furrows with the spurs under his belly; his hands only left hold of -the horse-hair snaffle to shower down blows on the Ende moniado's bruised skin.. But, as.yet, neither had the advantage ; and, after a few minutes • of furious struggle, the two antagonists stood stilt for a moment. Applause resounded on all sides; and, certainly, to merit the admire- . tion of those centaurs,it was necessary tohave accomplished more than it is usually given man to accomplish. Either the vanquero was one of those whom danger or applause intoxi cote, or ho thought himself able to do eat more, for ho profited by this truce to draw a sharp knife out of the garter of his boot. ; " Hallo l" exclaimed Don Ramon, lesairn passive spectator of n struggle in which, appa. rently the life of a horse in question, "Is the:, rascal going to cut the Endemoniado's throat?'.'. Indignation flashed from Maria's-Antonia* black eyes at the supposition that a matt whom she had distinguished could be and, a superb smile of pride lighted up her features at the sight of Benito; who, in a fit, of Wild temerity, intoxicated, no doubt, by the pres ence of his beloved, had cut the horse's snaffle and thus placed himself, without bridle, at the mercy of an untameable RlOllllll. Freed from the bond which compressed his ,nostrils, En demoniado noisily breathed the air of thefor ests, shook the waves ill' his golden mane, and set off in the direction of the lopped tree,— Such was the Impetuosity of his eloper, that it Seemed impossible to pritvent . his dashing against the obstacle in his way. Nothing, therefore, could preserve the rider from the bite awaiting him. The, Endentoniado was only a few yards off the fatal trunk,. when, by a sudden and unexpected movement,. Benito pulled of his broad-brinthied het, Mul; at the moment when a final bound was al.out to end, the struggle, the hat, interisr.ed between the tree and the horse, mad , the foster wing . with terror in another direr:that. We thee ,wit nessed the singular speOacii: of a rider with out a bridle guiding his untoimageahle horse, which sprang from aide 1.9,:i . i1,1%:111.; till' 'bugbear passed from one eye to the other.. The Ende monied°, shuddering with r.ii, passed thus beneath the stand, where M.tria-Antonia, re warded Benito's fortunate temerity, with a glance. The pride of triempli, ii 1110 brought out the energetic and mnscul!n, b indy i pf the horsemen, and lighted up his fo . ,tty,nver which the wind waved his floating hair, wonderfully justified the young girl's choice. Giving a fresh impulse to the horse, which was panting and disconcerted by this unexpected resist mice, Benito allowed him to take the direction of the forest. We beheld him for a few sec onds shaken like a reed by the furious bounds of the animal, but we soon lost sight of him. A few horsemen followed him ; but his course was so rapid that they soon returned, giving up the pursuit as useless. I shall not mention all the commentaries which accompanied Be nito's disappearance. Some regarded him as lost, notwithstanding his first triumph, for one of the Endemoniado's victims had likewise es caped the fatal tree, and his body had been foundia great way front the hacienda, covered with wounds, and trodden under foot ; others hoped more from the young vaquero's dex, terity. He returned in less than an hour, bringing hack the hitherto untameable horse completely mastered.
