At the age of twenty-one, George, Washington Smith was master of his trade ; and eight years subsequently, sole proprietor of his master's estab lishment, and ownei of a snug little domicil, free from all incumbrances, except a thrifty littlo wife, whose head and heart were overflowing withgood sense and good nature, and who had blessed her husband with a lusty specimen of humanity in miniature a boy growing in the sunshine of his ieventh summer, , , Now if there is a cluster of while cottages in Connecticut, half buried in the green umbrage of elms and maples, the census of whose inmates does not contain the name of Smith, you may safe ly set the village down as anti-yankee.. I doubt whether in such-a place the people go to meeting. Wherever you canjdeiect'a tapering ,ch.urchrspire my word for it, the sound of the bell to winch it vi brates, will reach the ears ol a bmith and ten chances to one that he is a deacon. ' But the Smith with whom we have to do was a bacfrsmith. Who ever heard a story about a vul gar MacksraithT Nobody; and nobody in this fas tidious age thinks of writing one ; and yet I doubt if Achilles of worldwide renown, had ever been immortalized in Homeric song, but for a fabled blacksmith. Being a superior workman, Mr. Smith had never been necessarily idle, and, so far as known, never idle from inclination. Every body within his jurisdiction had their work done by him, fT nnrlar ttlc 1 ncnoptinn rsnr? 40 Vto riafrma ran erallvpaid well, it was naturally supposed that Smith was a money making man So indeed he ,as, and always hid been. But some evil spirit I bid allured him in the belief that he was not mak-1 in- money fast enough.

'-j.' - 1 which made such agreeable music during his mi- f nority, was now becoming more and more monot onous. His ears were itching for an unbroken silver chime. He longed to behold every burn ing spark that radiated from his anvil, moulded into current coins of similar color. Butreason or ex perience convinced him that such phenomena, even in this wonder working tige'-were not to be expected. - It must be acknowledged, to the disparagement of Smithy, that he had an Inordinate; love for the "Root of all evil." Some within the periphery of his acquaintance had acquired Jargejbr,tunes. in. a point of tjme, not much exceeding, that which per fected the growth of Jonah's" gourd, and were liv ing at ease. This was the state to which Mr. Smith aspired to which he lodked forward, with a good deal of satisfaction. And he had been narrowly searching for a by-way that would save him a life-long journey to the dominions of wealh. fo .accomplish his purposes, it was neither his desire nor design to abandon his trade at least t-I he had reached, the summit pf hie ambition but to put another iron into the fire. Unfprtunate (') he possessed a surplus 'of that commodity usually called Yankee fngenuity. Had he ex pended it in his own line of business, he would probably have now been a richer though not a wiser man. .Now thi& surplus commodity was er oded in this wise. After much deliberation, in fw'ich he tasked his mechanical genius pretty se rely, Smith becamersatfsfied in his own mind that he could invent a threshing machine, which would be a decided improvement on any that had alien under his inspection.

The 1 secret however, was out at last, and the curious flocked in to see the wonderful thresher. But "No Admittance" was. written on Smith's features in such legible lines, that the visits were not repeat ed. That was not all. One by one, Smith's cus tomers began to drop off, and patronize his' rival over the way. Still the apprentices had plenty of woik; and Smith, over the structure on which his fortune was to be built, toiled on. It employed his hands by day, and was the idol of his dreams by night, feetting the machinery in motion, in his sleep, he would throw into the receptacle, sheaf by sheaf, while in his inconceivable delight, eve ry kernel that jolted out apan the floor was in stantaneously moulded into a gulden coin; dnd every bundle of straw chaff and all after being whipped about in the air, settled down in a "huge package of bank notes of one thousand dollars each, payable on demand ! Ugh I what an Asto rian fortune was his I Suddenly a scream from his little wife dispels the vision, gold coinsr bank notes, and all b.ul the machine. "George! George Washington Smith ! let go of my hair! Why what.are you dreaming about!" Mr. Smith released his hold of his imagined ma chine, and utters an apologetic groan, and dreams again. At last the finishing stroke was given to the off spring of his genius, and nothing was now to be done but to lest its utility. Mr. Smith's bosom swelled wjth pride and satisfaction as he surveyed its wheels and cranks moving with clock-like reg ularity. As he was one morning estimating the probable ost of the invention one of his neighbors halloed to him. " Good morning, Mr. Smith.'-' 11 Good morning, Major." " Have you been down to Benson's to see the threshing machine Vr " The what V Mr. Smith was astounded. TJieithreshing machine. There's one in opera tion therer and they say it can thresh out grain as fast as two men can feed it. " I don t believe it !" thundered Mr. Smith as his astonishment gave place to dismay. " I don?t believe it." Major Bliss had a great deal of blacksmithing done at Mr. Smith's shop but was among the first to withdraw his jjatronage, when he found the pro nnptor thereof had withdrawn his superintendence.

"'It may not always wirk as well." " Ay, gentlemei" cried the inventor, " "examine it throughout, frftn top to bottom, insjde add out ; keep an eye on As movements, and find- ah imper fection if you can. You can't do it, gentlemen. It can't be improved, nohow. There never wa3 a threshing machine inventedthat could h6ld a candle to it, and there never will be. I challenge the whole nation, of Yankees my kith and kin included to bring forward anything to con-pare with it.," x. Every word of this harangue sank . like lead, upon Mr. Smith's heart, and his brilliant iopes sank with them. He saw at a u'lance the superi ority of the invention before him to his owri He couldn't help seeing it. Fain would he hav found some defect ; but both inventor and invenion de fied him. And when the former mentioned the price of his machine, he was satisfied thai it was all over with him. It was ten dollars las than his whole cost at the lowest estimate. Tnis was a severe blow to Mr. Smith, but there was no help for it. Just as he was about to lay hs eager hahd upon the prize, it was snatched beond his reach. But his determination to be riclj was as unshaken as ever., He had resolved,' and le would perform. , With a heavy step he returned to hh. home and after broodihg awhile over his disappoinmeht; fell back upon his ingenuity. ' A few weeks after, a finished corn-seller, ready to go into operation, was announced toMar iha from the head of the stairs. " Come Martha, come, see how nicely it works. It does thehus iness to a T." Martha went. Mr. Smith presented his bhild with an ear of corn, and setting the machine in motion, the yellow kernels rattled out. upon the floor, and the cob, like a, newly fleeced sheept bounded halfway across the floor. Another and another ear was presented, with the same result, and a triumphant " There liit wife !" broke the inventor's lips. 1 3fartha expressed herself pleased that the thing was done ; but then her eye fell upon the huge machine, in an opposite corner, ind it met her glance with a malicious and oftijnous grin. Still Martha was pleased. Mr. Smith's next step was to get the thing pat ted ; and in the meantime, two machinists were employed to manufacture severi dozens after the original. But alas ! he had not disposed of a half dozen, before he received indirect information that he was to he prosecuted fo mechanical pla giarism The long of the matter shortened was, that our Smith, in his last adverture sank a thou sand dollars, lost a portion of lis good temper, and caused his little wife a sad cWing spell. " i told you you had better stidc toyour traded" was the consoling salutation tjiat greeted him wherever he went. He wondered why people couldn't mind their own business.bnd let his alone. His mortification and disappointment soon began to wear off ; and in the same, proportion his deter mination to become rich gathered strength. " I wonder what is to come ner ?" sighed Mar tha, as she listened to the clang, and clatter, the filing arid grating overhead. I should think that he had had enough of it." But no ; Mr. Smith was not yet satisfied with the acquisition made to his hurnMo fortune. He had no reason to be. Day afterjday he toiled nobody, not even Martha, knew what on. Before she was aware, the anxious wife would repeat to herself the exclamation she was constantly expec ting to hear from the head of the stairs,. " Come, Martha, come and see how nicely it works." But she never heard it agan. All at once the clang and clatter ceased, and she heard her husband coming down stairs, as if conveying a heavy bur den. With her heart in her mouth she turned to look out of the window. She had no sooner done so, than her clear, musical laugh went ringing from room to room, like an echo striving to escape. " What are you laughing at, Martha V tartly inquired Mr.Smith, with a little confusion of face True to her Yankee birth, Martha replied to that question by asking another. " Why, George, what have you been doing now 1" and she pinched her plump cheeks to conceal the roguish dimples. " Inventing something new. And I don'c think t have infringed on anybody's rights this time." " But what is it ? It is such an old looking thing." ' What should it he but a horse rake V1 " To rakehorses, dear 1" " To rake hay. You know better than to ask such a question as that." " Oh !" " O-o-o-o-h ! just as if you didn't know any bet ter. To the barnt and to-morrow I will show something that'll make you "oh" to some pur pose !" So saying he took up his latest invention and stole away. The morping came a bright, clear day as ever shone. At an early hour in the afternoon Mr. Smith had everything in. readiness. His horse was attached to the shafts, and G. Washington Smith, jr. was mounted f Now George, my boy," said Mr., Smith, sta tioning himself in the rear"1; " start ahead a little." The rider loosened the rein with a chirrup. " Steady, steady ; hold him in. Saul, of Tarta ry !" exclaimed Mr. Smith,,in an agony of delight, " how it rolls up the hay ! Steady, George." Sure enough, how it rolled up the hay ! It could hold no more ; and Mr. Smith bore upon the lever that was to cause the aparatus to turn a sort of somerset, and leave its load behind, but it did not turn. He Dressed hiTfler and some nart giving way It flew over against his horsfe's heels with the suddenness of thought. This diabolical assault updn his rear was repelled by the mettled steed with becoming spirit. Mr Smith sprang for the animal's head, but it was too late. Away went rider .and horse, the latter strewing his path with splinters of his master's handiwork. But the alarmed father saw nothing, cared for nothing, but theson. What a fortune he Would theri have given to have his, boy restored in safety to his Q.eorge. Washington, jr., struggled bravely to maintain his sear, and check the enraged animal that was bearing him With the speed of the wind over the field ; but in vain. In a. feW seconds ha was, thrown, j i George ! my dear boy ! are yoti killed 1" ex claimed the father, cbming up at full speed aild j panting for breath. " Have 1 killed you 1" '" I guess you'd think so," replied the little fel low, clasping his knees with both hands. " By darri ! Pa, I'll never ride another horse rake for ye." - " No, ybu needn't. But let me ee your knee." The wounded. Hmb wa bared. A slight bruise was the only injury he had received. Never did an angel go to his high abode, burdened with such gratitude as gUslied tip from Mr. S's heart -at that moment. Having satisfied himself that his son was not seriously hurt, he was enabled to breathe more freely and set out in pursuit of his horse. Entering a copse of birth he came to a fence, and there, o,n the opposite, jsjde; lay ihe object, of his search, with a broken stake plunged into his body. Mr. Smith laid hold of the bridle. " Dead !" mut tered he between his teeth. He walked ardund him, 11 Dead, as sure as death V He raised the animal's head. " Dead a3 a door nail !" For a ntoment Mr. Smith reflected, then turned homeward, setting his foot down every step like a man determined to go on to some purpose. Pro ceeding directly to his workshop; he bolted the dpor, andrpresently such a clashing and crashing as Martha heard over her head, never before met her ears. It was too much for human endurance. Hastening to the door, and finding it secured, she applied her lips to the key-hole. "George!" A terrible blow was this only response from within. ' George Washington Smith!" in, a more au thorative tone'. "What, Martha 1" . , " What in the name of all creation are you do ing 1" " In the name of all creation I am inventing something new." " Are you crazy 1 " , . "Never more rational in my life:" " Let me in, then, and your ears Shall tingle for this." 41 My ears! Then I won't let you in." " Then I won't, let you but." And making the door doubly secure with her broom stick, Martha went down stairs humming a triumphant air, and Mr. Smith continued his work df demolition un molested. At the expiration of half an hour, .Mar tha heard her name called: iL Martha, would you like tb come m now!" " No, I thank you, I don't care about it." There i was a brief pause u Would you like tb cbme out, Mr. StiiitH !" " Come, Martha ; I am in no mood for resting. Open the door and 1 will show you what I have invented." Martha at leiigth yielded and went in. Every thing in ihe shape of threshing machines and corn shelters had. disappeared, and in the centre bf the room rose a hujje pyramid of fragments surmounted by a board on which was inscribed ; " G. W. Smith's Patent Oven Wood." 44 There, Martha, I hope that will please you. At a-ny rate it is the last of my inventions. 1 am I which it had long disappeared: If he fully suc goiug to take my place at the anvil, 'and there 1. he hag in hig handjj A good resolution which is. not broken to this day. And every apprentice at the age of twenty one has to listen to the preceding sketch in sub stance, from Mr. Smith's own lips, which he in variably concludes in this wise : " Now boys, you've got a good trade ; and come what will, do you stick to ft.1' African Mode of Cooking an Ostrich's Egg. A small hole, the size of a finger, is very dexr terously made and having cut a forked stick frbm the bushes, they introduce it into the egg, by pres sing the two prongs close together ; then by twir ling the Grids of the. stick between the palms of the hands, for a short time, they completely mil the yolk and the White; setting it upon the fire; they continue frequently to turn the stick, u'htll the inside has acquired the proper consistence of a boiled egg. This mode recommends itself to travellers by its expedition, cleanliness, and sim plicity ; and by requiring neither pot nor water ; the shell answering perfectly the purpose of the first, and the liquid nature of its contents that of the other. Notwithstanding the enormous size of these eggs, being fully equal to twenty-four of our domestic hen', the Hottentots commonly eat a whole one at a time. A Doff that Chews Tobacco A friend has just related fo us a curious fact in natural history, respecting a dog. In North A.ttle bpro,' Mass., there is kept, in a manufacturing es. tabllshir.ent, a large mastiff, who ta8 as much comfort with a quid of tobacco as does the invot erate lover of the weed. So habituated has he become to its use; that must have it, and will- sit all day in the centre of the workshop chewing away with a great appetite and a good relish. He became thus much like a man, by plaving, when young, with 4 old Sogers,' as the ends of ci gars are professionally termed. In such play he would occasionally find a ' soger' in his jnouth, until a taste was formed for the tobacco, which has since continued to increase, and now he is what he is. We believe this to be the only in stance on record of any animal but man, and one species of woirn using the weed from pure love of it. Boston Cabinet, A Good One. "far The Hartford (Conn.) Gazette tells the follow ing good one, whieh well hits off the practice of running ourselves down that others may ben ducedto compliment. Very few, as in the caso of ihebibtfs Mr. H.,Vhat would like to be ta&Sft at hisjivord : In a village not a dozen miles fromSH.artford. the members of the religious society were in the habit of holding prayer meetings in the church in which they made a kind of confession, commonly called " telling one's experience." A very pimu member d'f the flock, Mr. H., sometimes invited Mr. P., who was hot a member, to attend the " ex perience meetings." At one of these, Mr.'H., int. relating his experience, stated that he Was a "te&t sinner that he had sinned daily, and with hi eybs orien willfully and knowingly sinned that goodnes3 dwelt not in his heart that he was ab solutely depraved, and that nothing but the bound less mercy and infinite goodness of Jehovah, man ifested through the atoning blood of the redeemer, could save him from eternal perdition: Mr. P.M who had accidentally been placed upon the " anx ious seat," was called upon after his neighbor YL had ehd'ecl, to relate nia experience. He arose, and with great gravity said he had very little u say of himself, but brethren would remember that he had lived for twenty-five years the next door neighbor to Mr. H., that he knew him well and it gave him great pleasure (because he could do rt with entire sincerity) to confirm the truth of nil brother H. had confessed of himself! Wben M;r P. aat down, under the smile of the whole congre- , gation, the worthy parson not excepted Mr. 11 went up to him, and said, 4 You are a rascal ohd a liar, and I will lick you when out of church." Written Sermons. A discussion was held lately in a convention of ministers, regarding the comparative advantage oC written and extempore sermons. Both practices, found partisans, but one of the opponents of the written sermons related an anecdote which must have told. A minister's wife came to his study one day, and told him that she wanted him to go into the kitchen and scold one of the girls for her. ' No my dear,' he said, I am writing my sermon and cannot go ; but I will write a scolding for you, and you can read it to her.' Well, the preacher wrote the scolding, and his wift? tb'dk it in the kitchen and began to read it. The girl sooa began to laugh, when the lady threw down her notes and commenced an extemporaneous harangue that soon had a much better effect. Bald Heads. The discovery made by Mr: Wise, for the res toration of hair is eliciting notice in the Virginia, papers. The Richmond Whig says : As to Mr. Wise's discovery, a great deal has been laid about it. He ha3 hot been operating quite long enough yet for one to Speak decisively of the result. But the prospect, we learn, is flat tering. He has, we believe, at least, accomplished more than science has hitherto been able to effect: he has made hair begin to appear upon heads from contained in the valley of the Sacramento. As to the nature of the composition which he U3'es,,, Mr. Wise keeps it a profound secret. He was a tanner by trade, aild while pursuing that vo cation, he observed that after the. hair was taken off a hide by lime, there was still a fresh supply of roots, which cbuld be made to ww. He verv reasonably concluded that if such was the fact with regard to a cow's hide, it might be equally true with respect to a hur&an cranium. He made the experiment, and he thinks with success.
