THE LOVE KNOT. LUCY I.AUCO*. Tying ter bor.net under tier chin, Stye tied her golden ringlets in. But.not aldne in the. silken snare Did she <9*tch her lovely floating hair, For, tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied a young man’s heart within. Th<sy were strolling together up the hill, Where the wind comes blowing merry and chill, And it blew the curls a frolicsome face, All over the happy- peach-colored face, Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them in, Uhder her beautiful, dimpled chin. And it blew a color, bright as the bloom Os the piekiest fnschia’s tossing plume All over/the cheeks of the prettiest girl That ever imprisoned a romping carl, Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin, Tied'a young man’s heart within. steeper and steeper grew the hill— Madder, merrier, chillier, still; The western wind blew down and played The wildest tricks with the little maid, „ As, tying her bonnet under her chin, Sbe.t*ed a young man’s heart within. * * Oh, western w ind, do you think it was fair ?oplav such tricks with her floating hair? o gladfully, gleefully, do your best To blow her against the young man’s breast, Where he as, gladly folded her in. And kissed her mouth and her dimpled chin. Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought, An hour ago, when you besought This country lass to walk with you, After the’sun had, dried the dew. What ire/iloua danger you’d be in As she tied her bonnet under chin. ”lyssa LOTUS-PLAWTEK. .THEODORE TILTON. A Brahmin on a lotn?-pod Once' wrote the holy name of God. Then, planting it, he asked in prayer, For some new fruit, unknown and fair. A slave near by, who bore a load, , Fell fainting on the dusty ro^d. The, Brahmin, pitying, straightway ran And lifted up the fallen mail. The deed scarce done, he stood aghast At touching one beneath his caste. “Behold,” he cried, “I am unclean, -My hands have clasped the vile aud mean !’’ God saiv the shadow' on lps face, And wrought a miracle of grace, The buried Seed arose from death Aud bloomed and fruited at liis breath. The stalk bore up a leaf of green, Whereon these mystic words were seen : H ‘ Firkl, count' nil men of-equal casta — Then oau.it thyself the hast and lust.” The Biahmiu, with bewildered brain, Beheld the will of God writ plain. Transfigured then in sudden light, -The siave stood sacred in his sight! Thereafter in the Brahmin s breast Abode God’s peace, and he was blest.

(From the Richmond Dispatch, Jan. 31.) Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Camp bell, the Confederate Peace Commisson ers, who left here on Sunday morning for Washington city, stopped on Sunday night in Petersburg, whence they went through the lines to City Point yester day morning. They left our lines in General Bushrod Johnson’s front. As they were making the transit their char acter and the objects of tlieir mission became known, when our troops set up such a cheering as never was heard be fore, and continued it until the Commis sioners were out of sight and well with in the Yankee lines ; when the clamor was immediately caught up by the Yan kee troops, who cheered and hurraed until they were hoarse ; and, amidst the deafening shouts of the two armies the Commissioners went on their way. The next we hear of them will be through the Yankee papers. The Internal Revenue. —Tke*4able of internal revenue derived from the various States, which was published a few days ago, shows the proportion ot wealth to the population which exists in each State, and hence the proportionate profits of capital in each. New York we should expect to exhibit the highest ratio and its twenty-four millions ot taxes di vided among its population of nearly four millions, give a tax ot only $G.25 to each individual. Pennsylvania, with nearly thirteen million taxes, divided among three millions of population, give& $4 46 to each person. Massachusetts .gives $9.07 ; Rhode Island $10.25 ; Con necticut $6.33; Ohio $5.04; Illinois $5.70; New jersey $4.32; California $4.50; Maine $1.80; Michigan $1.57 ; New Hampshire $3.07; Vermont $1.12; Dela ware $3.23; Maryland $4.02; Indiana $2.41. According to these ratios, Rhode Island is richer per capita than any other State in the Union, or in other words capital is more remunerative and wealth more accumulated.

Gov® The Press is very simple in its construction, re quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, nd can be operated by any known power, s id as Steam, \Vater, Horse or Hand. In horse power but one horse is required, the Pres* bein°- so mechanically constructed on a well-known principle that the £3’" power increases in a greater rcUio than the increasing resistance. The advantages of this Press over all others* are as follows, viz; ■ Ist. It can press 2d per cent, more material in. a given space. -d. It can do the work in 33 per cent.less time 3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power] 4th. It turns out the best shaped bale for hand] ling or rolling. sth. The Press will last a life-time, he work ing parts being built of the beet of iron, and not . liable to get out of order. The ordinary work of this machine will press in one operation (after once filling the box of the’ No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 450 lbs. weieht in £3 Two Minuter &t, Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of Hay a day. Four men without the aid of a horse, or any power except that contained in the ~ress, can turn out a bale of nay 27 inches square by 46 inch es long, weighing 460 lbs., or _3 1-2 lbs. to the cu bic foot. No toggle j cUits. screws, cog-wheels, beaters or rollers used in this Press. The attention of Cotton factors and planters, Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially .called to this Press, destined as it is to work a complete revolution in the now slow, clumsy and expen sive method of baling.
