I would t were au unblown rose
Close shut in leaves of preenSo
shut that none had ever guessed
The color hidden in its breast
By blush of pink between.
Then when your face but turned my
V- way
As now, the crumpled sheen.
Of crmson hid so safe away
Wonld stir the living summer day
Within, unheard, unseen;
But, when your footstep nearer drew,
Would burst the grave apart,
And petals glowing in the sun
j&r*. Would crtfnicle to every one
Vhe new life at my heart;
And tally sweet of all the leagues
You passed of sea or shore
V1 The claspfrng calj*x still should hold

One Velvet petal more.
So when at last, 110 space between,
Yourown from stem you broke,
And in your hand my perfect grace
Perchance you lifted to your face,
Although no word you spoke?
Ah, !fchen indeed, the petals all
Down on the dewy sward might fall j
Before you a.c you went;
. And if purchanoe your eager feet
Slight find for them the way more sweet l
Then I were all content.
For so mcthinks the one lost word
That mocks my various quest

And that were Rest!

SCIENTIFIC.
x etroleum ?The name petroleum (roclc
oil) is-applied to certain bituminous fluids
found in the earth. Solid bitumen or asphalt
differs but little in chemical composition
from petroleum, both being compounds
of hydrogen and carbon. Many varieties
of petroleum, and perhaps all, bocome
thick by exposure to the air, and
finally solid, resembling asphaltum. The
fluid petroleum has been collected in Burmah
for at least fiftsen centuries. It is
used by the inhabitants for light and fuel.
In this countiy petroleum is not, as many
suppose, a new discovery. Years ago
springs of it were known in many locali
ties, but its use was very limited. No
method for purifying it was known, so that
it was looked upon a3 valueless, and several
wells bored for salt water were abandoned
on account of the oil rendering the water
impure. In 1SG1 it was purified, and introduced
extensively as an illuminating oil
to take the place of burning fluids (campliineand
alcohol) the price of which was
greatly enhanced, and which, by tho explosive
qualities of their vapors, were causing
many severe accidents. The trade increased,
new wells were bored; and some "of them
yielded several hundred barrels per day,
making possessors at once wealthy. Pewoo

decomposition of organic Bubstances under
the earth's surface. Some geologists suppose
petroleum to bo due to the subterraneous
distillation of remains of sea plants
and marine animals, and that the petroleum
is forced upwards by water, always
present in the bored wells. It is found in
cavities and in crevices, and through the
substance of the rock. Petroleum (is much
lighter than water, of a geeen or black color,
with a peculiar and, to most persons,
unpleasant odor. It is commercially divided
into two kinds, the heavy or lubricating
oil, and the light oil; the former ia
more dense, and sometimes of the consistence
of thin molasses. It is used, without
preparation, for lubricating machinery, for

oil, before it can be used, is submitted to
several purifying processes, the most important
of which is distillation. Burning
oil is sometimes adulterated with benzine
or heavy oil. To detect the former pour a
few ounces into a small tin cup, and put it
on a stove or over a lamp, placing tho bulb
of a thermometer in the oil. Then as the
temperature rises, try with a lighted taper
when the oil gives off inflammable vapor;
if this be below 100? or 110? Fah., the oil
is dangerous to use, as its vapor, becoming
mixed with air in the lamp, may take fire
and explode. The adulteration with heavy
oil is shown by the dimness of the flame
after having burned for some time, accompanied
by the charing of the wick.
A Railroad Improvement.?Oar system
of railroads, which lias overspread the
country like a net has often challenged admiration,
not only for the enterprise and
skill displayed, but for the attention to
minor details by which the comfort of passengers
is promoted. In this connection,
we may refer to a recent improvement
winch is remarkable for its simplicity and
its adaption at little cost to any of our
railroads. To M. Thomas De Cordeza, the
well-known artist, of New York, belongs
the credit of a new and useful invention
for conducting smoke, sparks and steim of
the locomotive to the end of the train. It
has been described as a "sheet-iron pipe
about throe feet in diameter at its commencement,
placod across tho top of the
engine, supported by iron standards. The
large end of the conductor is open, and is
directly over the front of the locomotive,
and is curved so that the opening turns
slightly downward. This pipe continues to
the end of the car, gradually tapering, until
it is but one foot in diameter. The
largo conductor passes directly over the
place where tlio smoky stack should be, and
from the base of the stack opening, a short
covered pipe extends to the largo one, entering
it about two feet from the bell-shap
ed opening. A twelve-inch sheet-iron conductor
extends over the tender of the engine,
and is connected with the main
conductor by a canvas pipe, which rests on
spiral springs. Through the sides of each
passenger car, and directly under the roof'
will pass 12-inch galvanized pipes which
will be connected *hen the train is made
up, in the same manner as the conductor on
the tender is connected with that of the
engine." The mere force exerted by the
movement of the train at ordinary speed
causes the smoke and cinders to bo carried
through the entire length of tho pipes.*
This invention was tested by the Deleware
and Hudson Canal Company Borne time
since with tho most satisfactory results.
We all know how accidents of a serious
character have arisen to persons and property
from the sparks of the locomotive, and
if this invention of Mr. De Cordeza furnishes
us with any remedy against them
we hope to seo the improvement adopted
throughout the country.
Bent Shafts.?It is now possible by the
aid of hydraulic machinery to bend iron
shafts of twelve inches diameter to any required
shipe. Incredible as this statement
may seem to an expert, crank shafts are
now so made, instead of by the slow, laborious,
and expensive method of forging.
The bent shafts are also much better than
forged o nes from the fcict that the fibre of
the metal runs in one direction continuously,
whereas in forged ones it is often across
the line of strain.
IIulleks Oats.?These oats are offered to
farmers at $1 per puund. It is asserted
tVint, tliov "originated bv hvliridizinf* thn
California Wild Oat with the old-fashioned
English oat." This Js not only improbable,
it is probably untrue. Besides, these oats
have been grown in Europe and in this
country for fifty years or more is a
Eihcine to pluck farmers' pockets, and we
warn our readers of tho comparatively
worthless character <-f these bullosa oats,
based upon experience with them.

Tiie Gang Plow.?A correspondent of
ie Chicago Tribune writes the following
sperience as to gang and sulky plows : "I
ave yet to see any value in tho gang plow,
nd yet they appear to gain in popularity.
jb a general rule two horses ore enough .
* one man to manage, and for these a 14lch
plow is sufficient. There aro a few
irmere and farm-hands who can manage
>nr horses and a gang of two plows, and
ach men ought to have the gang plows;
ut the average farmer, farm-hand, or hoy,
aouia do excused irom using mum. xjul
lie single sulky plow is an implement that
ught to come into general use. I Lave
ad a Skinner sulky for nearly ten years,
ad could not well do without it, or a simar
ouo. The past Fall I used a Hapgood
llky for plowing out potatoes, and it provi
the best thing for that purpose that I
ave seen. There was no dodging of the
ills. A neighbor, who had a twenty-five
ollar potato-digger, also gave it a trial,
ad pronounced it better than the digger,
} it did better work. For all but tho most
ble-bodi'ed men, the sulky plow is of inesmable
value. I know u soldier who lost a
ig and an arm, who dot's all of his plowing
ith a sulky plow, drives his planter, and
oes his cultivating with a sulky cultivator.
Without these ho could do little of his
irm-work, but, with them, is enabled to
row tine crops with a Email amount 01 ,
elp.
At tho Sidney trial last year a large
umber of sulky aDd gang plows were presat.
Only a few of the latter were sold,
hile orders for the former were lively,
ne agent told me that he had taken orders
>r seventy. The most, if n<Jt all, of the
ilky plows aro made too heavy, and no
oubt this defect will bo corrected. The
nst of a sulky plow is tho most serious ob:ction
against them; but I have no doubt
rnt a good one will bo put on tho market
t $30 to $35, against $00 to $70,as at presat.
In the first plucc they will be cheapaed
by using less material; and, in the
;cond placo, by tho manufacture in greatr
numbers.
To Obtain Fuurr fkom Barbkn Trim.?
A correspondent of the American AgricuU
iriti says:
"I ivish to describe to you a method of
iaking fruit trees bear that I blundered
i- Some fifteen years ago I had a small
pple treo that leaned considerably. I
rove a state by it, tied a string to a limb
ad fastened it to the stake. The next year
lat limb blossomed full, and not another
lossom appeared on the tree, and, aa Tiin

imc to the conclusion that the string was
) tight that it prevented the sup returning

on several trees, almost with the
imc result* I think it a much better way
lau cutting off the roots. In early Sumter,
say June or July, wind a strong twine

Good Tomatoes.?To have good tomatoes
ne must first secure strong, healthy plants,
ad this cannot be done in poor land. They
ill "run to vines" at first, but the tips
lould be pinched, and the fruit will fol>w;
and such fruit us exhausted soil never
in produce. Any person who permits vines
) lay on tho ground cannot reasonably
junt on securing the best results. Try
10 plan of little trellises, no matter how
mgh or homely; the extra crop will more
lan repay tho trouble. Thus shall you
