the amount of coal burned she made

We have made but one or two commentary
remarks; there is much that we could
say, but we do not wish to tako up too
much room discussing one subject. Wo
have presented a great deal ot information
respecting the Ericsson, because this
ship has created a great sensation throughout
tho whole country, and our readers
desire to have all the impartial intormation
they can get about it. We will still
present from time totiinesuch information
as may be new, instructive, and iuteresting
about hot air as a motive power. We
conclude by stating that the "American
Journal of Science and Art" for March,
after describing the "Ericssou's" engines
snys, "we do not at present undertake to
discuss the probable success or failure of
ibis important enterprise," and thus the
greiit gun fires neither a blank nor ball
cartridge, the gunner evidently exhibiting
either a fear or a want of ability to do
so.?Scientijican American.
Shooting dy a Lady in a Ball-Room.
?At Old-town, Me, on Tuesday evening
last, while a party were dancing at Grey's
Tavern, a very respectable young lady
discharged both barrels of a double barrel
G'stol at a man named Win. Bowmen, of
ppcr Stillwater. One of the balls entered
Bowman's shoulder, and the young
laJy with whom ho was dancing had her
face burned by the powder. The lady
who fired the shots went homo without
being arrested. Public sympathy is
strongly in her favor, as Bowen bad inflicted

EST The solo desire of our city-born parent,
with regard to the education of his offspring,
appears to evince itself in a deep-set
anxiety to witness his hopeful installed within
tho pulpit, a law, court or a doctor's
chnise. The high destiny of Toney is predicted
by a doting mother within a week
after his birth, it is acquiesced in by the
father, and promulgated to the world by the
nurse. It would be household treason to
suggest that the son of a well-to-do mechanic
should embrace aught but the most learned
professions, and hence comes it that the heir
of a wortliy yeoinnn sqanders a fortune, derived
from boots and shoes, heel taps and
half-soles, in an ineffectual search after tho
crooked roots of the Greek tongue and the
square ones of algebraic science.
Did a sensible parent, a working mechanic,
or successful mechanic, ever retlect upon
the social consequences of his parents elevation
in tho grade of society 1 Well-educated
in a primary school, the young man
passes to college; there a new world opens
itself before liiiu ; his associates are no longer
of a ward or section wherein his former
schoolmates were nurtured,they arc the sons
of wealthy distinguished and highly educated
parents. Gradually introduced to the
circle of a social constitution, superior to
the unostentatious mode of life adopted by
his parents, and grown the associate of polished
men and women of tho " hautmonde,"
the fatal contrast becomes apparent to the
youthful debutant Into society. In revery
he compares his station, manners, and preliminary
education with the inevitable results
of a polished training, and if lie be n man of
keen u< nihilities, lie grows discontented with
Ilia H^litiAllU lin?itin?? ntnl uowirmo

for his disappointment to the Mud vised solicitude
of his parents to overstock some learned
profession with his jiereoii. He may recede,
end struggle to withdraw from the magic
circlo" of the fashionnhle world?the venom
has been implanted ; he witnesses the difference
between the frank, honest and unsophisticated
manners of his parental residence,
and the artificial formulas of polished society
; fro.** that moment he grows ashamed of
his humblo home; if he dispises not his
humble home; if he despises not iiis parents,
ho pities them, and all the honor acquired
by an unsuccessful practice nt any learned
profession is unable to eradicate a sentiment
of inreriority ever possessing his breast as
he measures himself by the standard of his
fellow man as he should exist in polished
society,?JV. Y. Sacum.
FT It is a painful tiling to observe, day
after day, whole columns of the daily papers
occupied with advertisements from young
females in search of situations. This spcal s
of a state of things meat painful to contemplate,
and accounts, in a great measure, for
the immense number of prostitutes in this
city. In fact New York U fast assimilating
in character to the cities of the old world,
where vice and wretchedness prevail to an
alarming extent. It is high time that public
attention was directed to the prevalent state
of things, and that measures bo taken to lessen
the amount of human misery existing
within our bounds. It is very singulur that
none of the bodies calling themselves religious,
have devoted any of their superfluous
energy to this great and good object. If the
truth of their religious principles was measured
by their teal in actions of practical benefit
to mankind, we suspect they would go for
very little in the evtimat.on of every reasonable
man. The amount of religious zeal ex
fjuimuu Ht puuiiv is ciiuiuifjun , uut
it too generally ends there. The gentlemen
who Are valiant in defence of the truth in
public, go home to sip their wine, complnisnntly
regarding themselves as benefactors of
mankind. But we would direct their attention
to something better, and something holier,
too, for 44 true religion," says the Apostle
James, M is to visit the widow and the
fatherless, and to keep one's self unspotted
from the world." If they would devote
themselves to alleviate the mass of misery
yet existing in this city, they would render
n benefit to society and to themselves. We

if tho soil, thon cover with a narrow grab
low by running a furrow on each side so as
0 sift the dirt upon the grain and manure,
t is n mooted question with some planters
whether manures rise or sink, but by putting
t in with the grain and covering it, the qucsion
for that year and crop is settled, let it
:o either way yon have it. If this mode is
ttended to in the preparation of the ground,
1 is prepared and planted "righi," and if it is
vorked afterwards accordiug to the prepare
tion, " two years of corn will be gathered
there only one grew before." But as I o?v
y proposed in this article to treat on the
reparation and planting of corn grounds, I
save the subsequent workings for another
rticle. Evory fanner or planter should roollect
that whatever is neglected or unatjnded
to, in the preparing and planting seaon,
can never be regained or made up in the
rorking or gathering season, and if this
ranch of agriculture was attended to ss its
nportance demands, there would bo loss
omplaiut of the exhausted soil, and less disosition
to emigrate. Whenever I hear a
inner say he has worked his crop "mighty
rell," and has made a "very sorry crop," and
nnnot account for his failure, I think at
nee, he has not attributed his want of sucnss
to the proper cause, the neglect of prcaring
his ground weil before planting, by
ecp eloso plowing with
" IjONG GRABS."
