The basement 6 devoted to ihe stock and the storage of veg etables in wiuter, the second and third u< hay.'and grain. The main entrance fo produce is in the third story, which, fron bbing-on. the side orfa hill, is nearly leve with the ground. A floor runs lengthwise throtrgh -the barn, on this)htV, and' ti hay and other articles are pitched down ward into the bays on eachside. The barr is-capable ofcontaining two hundred ton of hay, and it.is so dispuosed that scarcely any of it has to be raised higher 1hian th< wajon from which it is thrown. Only tw< handst -are, uecessary to unload-one to pitch:offQand'one to keep the mow level thniiiviiig a great amount of labor, cor pared with.vhat is required in barns of common construction. The apartments for the cattle are com plate.' The walls which are of very solid etdne.work,are plastered, and though cool ins'urnnier, we should suppose they would besio Warm In winter that no frost would be foinnd there; windows in - each side permit free ventilation. The fodder is thrown into-racks for the stock from the "feeding floor'in the second story. In front of racks are mangers to catch any straws thai drop from the racks, as the fodder is pulled out by the dnimils. An open s'pace is left betteen the 'racks and mangers, which al lows the'animals ready access to fresh air, prevents the. hay in the racks from being ma'le unpalatable by'their breath, and gives room also to slip in boxes, %0hen it is wish ed to feed with'slops or roots.- The man whdhad charge of the stock said he c1ul feed and take care of a hundred animals in thisbarn wvith less labor than he could man, ege twventy in any other bairn lie ever saw, The cattle stand oni a platforni with a gn tle slope, whiich rendlera it easier to kee them clean and dry. The cows are tiet: wvith chhins around the neck, and are al wvays''milkced in thaeir stalls, suanmer an< witer.

Sales.-A large portion of the soles of ithe society consist ,dried herbs, cxtracts,4 and. the seeds of- vegeoables. Some fift or sixty acres o land are, dvoid.,to thle productioi of th6se aticd. 'Jiem'otint of sales or the ne profits or the btisines' L we did not learn. The cultivation of ihsii I herb and vegetable gardens, as well as their garden s generally, is very npat. Th herbs aid oilier preparations are put up in L the best manner, and are sold by establish I ed agents in the large cities, and also'trav Piling agents over a large portion ofihe country. We noticed, a press used., fur pressing herbs, which appears to possess some important improvements. It .wiS, invented bya young -man belonging to the society, and we believe he has secured a patent fgr it. We hope he .will furnish hdzawings and s desciipiion'of it for-liber tion in our columns. We are well aware tlati mniy of 1lke'im! provements ofrwhich we have spoken can not be so readily or advantngeously carried out on common farms or individual estates, and we cannot bring them forward as de serving universal adoption; but we think that something of the system which is here observed in conducting business, might be profitably imitated by many of our farm ers. Above all, we do not hesitate to re commenil, both to husbandnen and house wives, the Shakers' examples of neatness and cleanliness, the imitation of which we are sure would result in the increase of comfort and h:ppiness.-Alb.

It is more beautiful, more touchingly pure than the purest dream. lie was walking in the late watch es of thenight, when the stars were bright in the heavens-the earth fresh and fragrant a with the night dw, and the great ocean on a whose shores he *wandered, pealing its sol emn hymn through the starlit darkness, when he saw this holy scene.-There wvas no star in the heavens brighter than the fervent aspirations of the simple hearted o sailor; and his prayer, wvas, in God's ear, e louder and more sublime than the roaring," of the great ocean: At length a repeatedl remark-drew my attentioni towards the, bank; looking overa which I saw an elderly rfian In a rough t drless. with a sm~all bov lils-sde.. "Why not?" inquired the sallor. ''Because you called me so earnestly, and bade me meet yon on the beach, as soon as I cotuld get dressed." "It -should not have been neglected." 'said the old man, "I should think," said the boywihn app~earance of great deference, othat you b could not have been up long." "No, I had just risen wvhen I called you." There 'was a pause of a few moments, which the old men broke by saying: "We are quite early, and perhaps the duty omitted by bothof us at the house may be disch-irged here. We will scarcely h wvork the wvorse for It tu-day," The speaker then took off' a glazed hat, ?1 and displayed a head slightly bald; the long mottled hair on its sides trembled 'in the slight breeze that set in freom the ocean. The younger also laid aside his hat,' and h bo0th knelt upon the sand. In a solemn. tone the father cormenccd his morning's -devotion. I could not catch all the wvords; C but here and thei , when special earnest -ness marked the request I could distinctly hear eacth syllable.
