This id" a wretched world of ours, Since the loss of Eden's bowers; Instead of the lovely Tree of Life, It yielda ub briars, thorns, and strife. Tliis is a dreadful world of ours When the war god on It lowers? Crushing t' e heart with grief and fears, Filling sweet homes with bitter tears. This is a crucl world of ours When ruled by rude and wicked powers, vt mo irumpie on me laws 01 aiaie That thoy themselves niBy elevate. This is ft changing world of oiirs Clear to-day?lo-niorrow showers ; Winter ami Spring. Summer and Fall, Dirersify this rolling ball. This is a beautiful world of ours Clad in green?adorned with flowers; Ahove, a radiant, starry sky? Below, rich landscapes greet the eya. Tliia is a splendid world of ours.? Seas and plains, and mountain towers; Forest and field in beauty robed, All make this world a glorious globe. II. TWO WAYS AND TWO ENDS. Two boys, >vh.o<n JL shall cull James and Charles, occupied jLbe s^ipo desk schoo/j anj recited in th.c same class. JFirst, they studied book keeping, tfocri navi^atiojo, .then something else, but nothing pleased tlio indolent Jamo*. One day thoy were studying surveying, and James began to mark on his slate, as ho had done beforo, saying : fi O dear, 1 am tired of these links .and chains, and equares and triangles. What use wiil this ever bj to me? And besides, I can't understand it." "I kuow, replied Charlc3, " it is a hard study, and 1 don't see what use it will over be to m.o. But my father ,j f* knows more than i do, and bo t*et me to study surveying, and I am going to v atudy it, whether it will bo of any uso ) to moor not. And aa for unders anding it, I novor saw any study I conld oiot understand if 1 put my mil d to it. I should be ashamed to bo conquered I -by links and chains, or any thing elm; 1 find in surveying.

TBIALS OF THE STEAM PLOW. Public curiosity has been largelyexcited within a few days by an appearanco on our thoroughfares of a cumbrous machine, a etoam engine drawing a train of plows. This st eam j plow, jas it is technically known, is an | invention whi.ch is the property ol j Messrs. John Fowler & Co., of Jjocds, England. It has been in uao in the v;illcy of tjie !Nilo for some time, and | there, \y.o are assured, is an estab{ lishcd improvement. Messrs. Jjonw? street, Owen & Co., havo given the I large influence of their name, as ngctits, in prcsonling the novelty to the C'Otiujdcra'Ucn of planters in the S-uth Mr. Max Eigtli, f >rmcrl5r chief engineer on the staff of Pasha Ilahn, when that pasha held tho vice-royalty in Egypt, camo with the niachioo to j superintend experiments macjo with it. Having witnessed in Egypt the operations of tho plow, ho is eon; vii.ei-d that it will bo a9 successful j hero as it was on the Nile, and yostcri day. his favovtto imulemont. wan tpet! uu uu iu?; 'iair grounds. A large comI pan}' witnessed tho trial, atnong whom j wore feveral gentlemen whoso - occu { pation from boyhood has been tbut ol' | planters. About two acres were plowed in the prosencc of the partjr. The earih was raat.li d with an old gr&wth of grass. It had been tramped, and besides, the noil was naturally heavy, and, by late rains, was unusually wet. The sod was turnod beautifully to a ploa-n^n's eye; atap average depih of ten or twelve inchos. An obstruction wni) put on the field, and the plow was guided to avoid tho obstruction with quite as much facility as if the motive power was cattle or mules and the stilts were held by an exacting plow man. A stump in tho way was torn up remorselessly. In such matters as this theory amounts to little, but the unanimous opinion of the planters on the ground, all of whom watched tho operations of the plow with tho deepest interosjb, was that it was a decided >ucc<y3s. After the plowing, expep ineiiAs were made with.tbelocomotive, paBt-ing .over plowed ground, and crossing a bridge, with the view of showing itB adaptability tq plantation usoe, and the spectator* wore astonished ^th'o versatility of tbe'machinory.?JV. 0.

Io is rclatod that when Napoleon Bonaparte was encamped with his army at Boulouguo on tho 13ril;sh Channel, one of his Bhips captured an English vessel, among whoso crow waBa line, sturdy, youug English sailor. This lad was permitted to wa ? der about within tho French linos; and often did ho stand on tho shore and gaze over the waters of the Channel, while ho thought upon his homo in England, and ol his dearly loved mother. At lenirlh hin lonyinir to cs capo grow so intense that ho dolor mined, at all hazard*, to make an attempt. Oito day, as ho stood nour tho water, watching tho flight of a number of birds which took their course towards England, and vainly wUhed that he 1 could accompany tin 111 in their rapid flight, he paw ancmp'y hogshead comb (loat'iig slowly towards the beaeh, impelled by tho breeze. At onco a thought that ho could make ? use of it in forwarding his plans, look poss? sii(.n of his mind, llo carefully hid it away and bogan to wot k from day t-> da}- in forming it into a I clumsy b,iat. It was a tedious undertaking, as ho was compelled to u*e the givutusl precaution t.o avoid attracting notice or exciting tho suspi oious of his captor-1. liut at length, after many weary days of labor, he saw his boat, such as it was, finished. It was . an unsightly craft, untarrc'l, without compass, k.cel, sail, or rudder. He had procured from some neighboring trees, a supply of willow sprouts which he bad woven around it in' order to strengthen it. Th.e thought of launch ui? iui tu 111 Bui'ix u jruu vessel upon tho stormy sou, way enough to affright tho boldest sailor who over trod ft deck. Yet, impollcd by his love of home and of his mother, ho was about to. make a 8orious effort in this rude contrivance to cross the British (Channel. Qa a iia''K ai>ii biui'tnj pight, he managed to get, nis uoat to tlic water's edgo, and was just about to put to sea when to bin sore dismay, ho was caught iir the vory act by a French guard. Great was the ridicule heaped upon him by tho soldiers. as they examined his tub. Bui at Ieng:?h, by some means or? other, the story reached tho oars of Napoleon himself, whoso cariosity was was exoited, aud who ordered tho lad and his vessel to bo both brought into his presence: After looking at them lor a momont, he exclaimed, "Hash young man, you must havo a sweet-heart, in England, whom you dearly love, or you would never have thought of making a voyiigo in such n. thinif no tliof " '*1^0, sir," repled tho lud, " I* have no sweet-heart; but I have a mother whom I dearjy love,.and whom 1 have nojtseen for many years. It was my longing to Bee her that led me to attempt escaping." " *;' 41 And so you shall boo hor," suid Napoleon. Thu9 saj'ing, ho gave the young tar a piece of g"ld,-and commanded that \ ho should bo forwarded uudor a flag of tiu.ee, Jd" his native country.

THE GOOD FATHER. The father of a family was detained in tho metropolis of the kingdom on important business ; tho mother and children remainod, in tho moantimo, at a small country-seat, very distant from bim.

What is plcaRanter than to spend a portion of every paasirg da> in working among plants, and watching tho growth of shrubs, and trees, and plants, and to observe the opening of flowers from week to ' work as tho season advances? Thun ' how much it adds to the enjoyment, to ] know that your own hand* have plan- ' Led and tilled them, and liavo pruned : and.trained them?this is a pleasure1 that requires neither great riches nor profound knowledge. The humble cottage of tho laboring poor, not loss than their ground*, may bo adorned with pet plants, which in duo time, will become redolent of rich perfume, not less than radiant with beauty , thus ministering to tho loyo of the beautiful in nature. The wife ordaugh tcr that loves home, and would seek .tu mako it tlio best place for liusbr.ni| and brother, is willing to forego some gossipping morning calls, fur the sake of having leisure for the cultivation ot plants, and shrubs, and flowers.

He haB now vinos of llio white and black Scuppernong of thirty yoftra of ago, j Irum soed procured by Scott Gray, | from North Carolina?also vines from I other Bourecp. The black is now ox1 toiinivc ly cultivated in Homo sections, I a.s producing wine of a.bettor or more j Plrciigth of body than the white, but ' docs not yield an equal quantity of | juice.

Tlio people are borne down by a heavy burden of dobt; the crops of grain and garden produce failed last year; many families have been doprived of shelter; many more need food and clothing j needful implements and auxiliaries of husbandry aro very scarce; tho labor* ing population in numerous localities aro threatened with starvation, unless supplied with food by the Government of the United States; the inability of a large portion of tho people to pay taxes leaves the local authorities with* out adequate moans oi relief; and tho gravity of tho situation is increased by tho general disposition shown by creditors to enforce upon an impoverished -pooplo the immediate collection of all claims. To suffer all this to go on without restraint or reraody. is to sacrifice tho general good. The rights of creditors shall be respected; but the appeal of want and suffering must be hooded.-? fllovod by these considerations, the following regulations are' announced : They will continue in force, with such modifications bb the occasion may require, until the civil government of the respective States Bhall bo cstabfished in accordance with the requirements of the Government of the United States. Th? Hommanding General earnestly desires and confidently believes that' tho observance of these regulations, and tho co-operation of all persons concerned in employing fairly and justly tho advantages still remaining to them, will mitigate the distress now existing; and that tho avenues of industry, enterprise, and organizatira thus opened, will contribute to 1 he permanent welfare and future happiness of the people.
