? ANCIENT AND MODERN AQUEDUCTS* ] The firemen of (lie city of New York have chosen the 10th of September, the anniversary of Perry's victory on Lnko j Erie, to celebrate the achievement of the Croton aqueduct, the most perfect and J * efficient structure of the kind of ancient j or modern limes. Although contrivances i C for the conveyance of water from distant J sources, for the supply of cities, are of I great antiquity, we have no accounts of j aqueducts, properly so called, till the time ??!' the Romans. The city of Sainos, says Herodotus, was supplied with water by . piercing a hill 300 feet in height, by a tunnel 4,200 feet long, 8 feet high and foot nhroad. In Egvpt, in Babylon, find in Judea, works of considerable ex. I tent were constructed for the conveyance ! of water. The Romans were celebrated ! for their aqueducts which were not can- j fined to the capital, but were constructed j at many of their most important cities in j Europe, Asia, and Africa, tho remains' o! ' which arc still seen. That of*Segovia, j r ' in Spain, built in the titno of Trajan, is j a magnificent work, consisting of double I? rows of arches, 109 in number, according : to Mnltc Brun, the largest of which are j nearly 90 feet in height from the ground | to the conduit, and wholly consisting of j enormous stones joined together without : mortar, by which water has been conveyed into the town for seventeen hundred years. The neighborhood of Rome is dis. tinguished by a long series of these almost j imperishing memorials of her ancient i " ^ ?:<i; i inagnincence. oome ui mem uic.-auu m use and othars, though in astute ofruin, are amongthcgreatest ornamentsof Italy. on * Some idea may he had of the extent and importance of these works, from the lact that the city, containing a population of j four millions, was supplied with water ! from sources varying from thirty to stxlv miles in distance, and that at one period . no less than twenty aqueducts brought as many streams across the wide plain in which the city stands. Artificial channels i winding along the hills and mountains, J and tunnels through interposing harriers, I led the water the greater portion of the j distance ; hut the aqueduct was required to cross the valleys, and trf conduct the ! stream from the surrounding hills to the ; walls of the eternal city. In some places their manner of construction required ! arches of200 feet in height, and one aqueduct is said to .have consisted of nearly 7,000 arches, in many places ! more than one hundred feet high. Thpre i is nothing more interesting,, or more really beautiful says a writer on this sub. ject, in the existing ruins of ancient Roint*, than the remains of these splendid works, which radiate in almost every direction, and run across the almost level plain, out of which its hills anse in long arcaded series, whose simplicity and long unbroken continuity produces a degree of grandeur unmatched bv the more labored and more pretending works within the walls. The city is still abundantly supplied with water by three of these an. ? cient aqueducts, which have undergone rrpiirsand restorations by tlie direction j #?f the Popes. The Aqua Virginia and! Aqua Felice are the principal. Of the most celebrated aqueducts of modern times are that of Caserta in Napies, and of Mainter.on in Prance, begun by Louis XIV. in 1684, to cany water from the river Kuro to Versa ties, but abandoned in 1638. This was designed to have been the most stupendous aqueduct in the world ; the whole length contemplated was 60,000 fathoms; the bridge 2,070 fathom?, consistingof 632 arches 220 feet high. There is also a modern aqueduct r,t Bemfica, ne^ir Lisbon, in Portugal. TheX'roton aqueduct grdatly surpasses v any of the above strictures,-both in mag. a,vl nerfcrtion. There is no use.

It may not present so imposing a front to the vulgar,) hut to the Engineer and the man of sci- I ence, it has an nircf grandelir and sub ' liroityV arisjng from t!ie \a tnossof its proportions. The main trunk is 40 miles in.length, wholly composed of masonry, 0 1-2 feet wide, and 9 feet high. The . walls are 3 feet thick, cemented into solid ' rock. The grand reservoir at the head ; of the aqueduct is caused hy a dam of stone work 49 feet high and 70 broad, thrown across the Croton river, forming < an expanse of water 500 acres in extent, sufficient to supply any emergency, J The trunk is carried over valleys and j streams, through hills and harriers of sol- ! id rock, affording opportunities to (he engineer for the display of skill and taste, which has heen improved with very happy effect. For instance, the bridge which crosses the Sing Sing creek is a single j elliptical arch of 80 feet span, and 100 foet above the stream. The bridge across Harlem river is 13J0feet in length, 116 feet above high water, .and <^>st nearly 8869,000. Sleepy Hollow is also span, ned hy a series of graceful arches, and the vailev of Glen denning is passed at an ~ * " - w elevation of 40 feet, affording carriage- ! ways and footpaths over its arches.

The distributing reservoir at Murray's 11:11 is also a work of great magnitude and expense, and calculated to endure as long as he hills aud rocks. It is in the Egyptian style of architecture, with a promenade 20 feet in width at the top of the walls, flagged, and provided with an iron railing. It employed 400 men four years in Its construction. Altogether, it is a triumph of>ki!l and enterprise of which the world C?...

Its advantages to the city in the extinguishment of fires alone are incalculable. In the great conflagration of 1835 (he amount of property destroyed was estimated at seventeen millions of dollars, one third more than the cost of this work ; the extent of which was in a great degree attributable to the want of a convenient supply of water. The fire department, appreciating the great impor. tance of the work on this score, have set apart a glorious day in our country's annals for an appropriate celehiation. We hope no storm cloud may he so overcome as to shed its tears upon the scene. Neio York Stiff Mechanic. tkj:th. The prevalence of defective teeth in this country is the general subject of re. mark by foreigners ; and whoever lias travelled in Spain and Portugal is struck with the superior soundness and whitenessof teeth in those countries. Though not a cleanly people in other respects, they wash their teeth often, and by j means of tooth picks, carefully remove 1 all substances from between them, after ! meals. A little silver porcupine, with ! holes all over its back, to insert toothpicks, is a common ornament on the - " i r* . I 'PL_ dining.tables 01 Spain anil roriugni. * hc | general use of them creates so large a demand, tint students at Coimbra some- j limes support themselves by whittling , toothpicks, which are sold, tied in small hunches, l:k?* matches, i liey are made of willow, on account of its toughness | and pliability, Toolh-picks of metal are ' too hard, and are apt to injure the gums, j There is the same objection, in a less de- , groG, to quills, ilut willow tooth-picks are preferable to nil ,others; and they have the advantage of being the ipost cleanly ; for they usually break in the using, and arc thrown away. Few sights arc more offensive oa person of any refinement, than a tooth-pick that has been much used ; it is moreover unclea?.lvt and therefore not healthy for the teeth. Food allowed to remain between the teeth, particularly animal food, is very do?tww>-4 tivc ; it should he carefully removed after everv oiea', and the mouth thoroughly rinsed. This may seem to many like a great talk about a small matter; but these arc simple precautions to t ike, and very alignt trouble, compared with the agony of aching teeth, a breath so offensive that your best Iriend does not wish to sit near you. I can see no reason why a man's complexion should cxeluuo bun from the dining-tabie, hut I do see a very gitod reason why he should be banished for not taking proper care of his teeth. A-had breath is such a detestable thing, that it mfeht be sufficient reason for not D # marrying a person wih other .vise agreca- , b!e qualities. It is mo cover, perfectly inexcusable thus to transform oneself into a walking fie ulchre. Nobody needs to to have an offensive breath, A careful removal of substances from between the teeth, rinsing the mouth after meals, and a bit of charcoal held in the mouth, will always cure a had breath. Charcoal used as a dentifrice, (that is, rubbed on in powder, with a brush) isapt to injure the enamel; hut a lump cd it held in the mouth, two or throe times a week, and slowly chewed, has a wonderful power to preserve tlie teeth, and purify the breath. The action is purely chemical. It conn, teracts the ac.id arising from a disordered stomach, or food decaying about the; gums; and it is this acid which destroys the teeth. A dear friend of ours had,, when about twenty years of age, a front < tooth that turned black gradually, crumbled, and broke off piecemeal. By frequently chewing charcoal, the progress of decay was not only arrested, but nature set vigorously to work to restore the breach, and the crumbled portion grew again, till.the whole tooth was as sound us be- j fore ! This I know to he a fact. Every one knows "that charcoal is an j antipulrcKcent, and is used in boxing up ; animal and vegetable substances, to keep j them from decay. Upon the same chemical principle, it tends to prese rve the teeth, and sweeten the breath. There is no danger in swallowing it ; on the contrary; small quantities have a healthful effect on the inward system, particularly when the body is suffering from that class of complaints peculiarlyincident to summer. It -would not be w i??e to swallow that, or any gritty sub. stance, in large quantities, or very frequently ; but once or twice a week, a Utile would-be saliHury rather than otherwise. A hit of charcoal, as big as a cherrv, nieielv held in the mouth a few hours, without chew ing, has^a good effect. At lir^t, most people dislike to chew it, but use soon renders it far from disagree- I uMe. I hose who are troubled with un offensive breath, might chew it^very of. . ten. and swallow it but seldom. **It is peculiarly impoiTW to clean and rirSe the (feouth t h cr .r. j ^ hfr^LiXc grrizg to bedj jfc/ 'IF\ . \% otherwise a great deal of the destructive ncid will form in the, night If these hints iijduco only one person to take better care of the teeth, 1 shall he more than regarded for the trouble of writing. I am continually pained to see young peoole losing their teeth merely for want of a few simple precautions ; and one cannot enter stage or steam car without finding the atmosphere polluted, and rendered absolutely unhealthy for the lungs to breathe, when a proper use of water and charcoal might render it as wholesome and pleasant as a hrecze ol ; Eden.?l.

Anecdotal reminiscence ofan English missionary named Clnike, who went out to convert the PHtives of India !o Christianity, hut. failing in his efforts returned in despair to Calcutta. We give the rest of the anecdote in the writer's <?wn words : One day our missionary learned, to his great joy, that a Brahmin of the very first rank had arrived in the metropolis. Determined to bring matters to an issue, Clarke wrote to him, and begged him to meet iiiin on a certain day, when he undertook to convince him (the Hindoo priest) cf the errors of his faith. To this the Brahmin consented, and at the time appointed the Heathen and ttie Christian, champion met to discuss, in the presence _r .1 inpri's of their til ?>uvtl?u n uiiuoow, Miv ...v. - respective creeds. As is usual in polemical . discussions, the controversy was opened by several inconsequential queries and answers. For half an hour neither party had put forth n startling proposition; the wily Indian taking c?-e to confine himself to the defensive, 'fired at length by this scene, Clarke suddenly and abruptly asked him : 4 Are you forbidden to eat .anything in which animal life exists V?41 am. 4 Have vou ever broken through this law V?4 Never.' 4 May you not unconsciously have been led into this crime?'?4 Impossible.' Will you ?toe<tr to it?:?4 .Most solemnly I do.' Do you ever eat pomegranates V? 4 Daily.' 4 Bring me some of that fruit, then, rejoined Clarke, turning to a servant. His order was complied with ; the potnrgrunates were brought. 4 Chose on?.' The Brahmin did so, 4 Cut it in two.' With this direction he complied. 4 Place it here,' and Clark assisted him to put it beneath a microscope. 4 Now look at it.* The B.nhmin did so ; but no sooner did he apply his eye, than he started back with affright. The fruit was perfectly alive with AMHNihMrift.' t ho puzzled Hindoo drew out the pomegranate, [w hich, perhaps, my readers are not aware, k more closely filled with insects than any other fruit,] looked at it, examined it, re 1 ;* ..,..1 ixrmn the iiiVi iads of lit uimi ?v living creatines w ith which it was rife. Ho fe!t it with his hand, to convince himself that there was no trick in the affair. Then suddenly diawing himself tip, he slowly uttered,4 Bus suck hi. ['Enough ?it is true ] 4 Yon acknowledge, then, that you have sinned unconsciously ? f haf ?;v? rv thing being filled with animnlcu'se. invisi. hie to the naked eye, vou can neither eat nor drink without committing a crime.' The abashed Hindoo (towed. 4* Shali I show you how full of similar insects every drop of water is?'?4 No! I have seen enough.' 4 Do vou desire further proof !'?I have a favour to ask.' 4 What is it ? If I cm, I will grant it.' 4 Give me your miscroscope. 1 cannot buy it ; give it to inc.' Clarke paused for a moment, for he had that morning paid ten guineas for it ; and, being a poor man, he could ill afford to part with it. Hut. as the Indian was urgent, almost to entreaty, he at length eon. Kented [especially as he thought the other would a fiord him in return some curiosity of equal value,] and presented it to him. * The Brahmin took it, gave one look of triumph round the hall, and suddenly raising his arm, dashed it into a thousand atoms on the marble floor. * Whni rh? vnu mean hv this?' exclaim a" ? ed Clarke, in undisgtiished astonishment. 4 It means, Sir Christian.' replied the Hindoo in a roiJ. grave tono, 4 or means that I was a happy, a good, a proud man. By means of yonder instrument you have robbed mo of all future happiness. You li.'.vc condemned me to descend to my Eravo wretched and miserable !' With these words Iho unfortunate Brah. min quitted the hall and soon after retired up the country. ITEMS FKOM BXCHANGK PAPERS. The Southern Planter (Richmond) says on the authority of an old turfman ihat vinegar and chalk made an excellent remedy for the grubs in horses. A pint of moderately strong vinegar is poured on a cubic inch of chalk, and when the etfer. vescenee ceases, the horse is drenched with the mixture. The American Mechanic says that iron may be sawed while red hot, and that for many purposes it is preferable to saw, in place of the present custom of splitting with a cold chisel. The saw employed is made thicker at the cutting edge than at the back, and with teeth 12 to the inch. The iron is heated red hot and screwed into a vice, and the saw frequently dipped iii water during the operation to prevent its heating too much. The same authority states that the hardest kind of steel may be cut cold by a thin circularjDiece of iron fastened to a turning lathe, ^e artig^o he cut is brought in contact edge, and a file. v ' ' .t ' a spring or any other hard instrument may he rut without the Cornp? r being at ail reduced. Employed on soft steel th?* ' process leaves edges so hard as to resist ' the effects of the file.

Agriculture is the foundation of all human arts?the art for which man was inade, and, the perfection of which is his chief happiness and glury as the lord temporal of tins planet* Of this sublime art, all other arts and sciences are but satellites, their business being to wait cn, enlighten, and adorn it with their moonshine. Consequently no man more than the agriculturist needs the full use of his brains, and a perfect command of all the treasures of human experience. So the farmers of the United States view the matter; and in presenting them with a translation of the celc. brated Maison Rustique, of the French, we have no doubt oftheir hearty support. It ic the work of all works on pradical agriculture ?the most scientific, clear, and crmprehensive, France has long excelled in profitable farming. This is the source of her wealth. England is rich by coals and commerce. Her agriculture is splendid, but sometimes costs more than it comes to. Those who have fortunes to spend may buy the vast works of Marshall, Dickson Arthur Young, Loudon, &c., but those who wish to pet a fortune out of iho soil will fmd the French writers better able to show them the way. The excellence of French elementary works is well known to all teachers. For centuries, the Maison Ru.-tique has been, in Franco, the standard elementary work?the spelling book and grammar of tarming. The present edition for " the nineteenth century," has he m re-written and brougJil up with the " march of mind,"' by sixty of tho ablest "agronemes" of France.
