L. / THE NEW HOME. BY if. C. SLEEI*EH. * Hum ! ha! so you’re engaged ! ’ said a thick set, jovial looking man, with a roguish twinkle in his eye, as he walked jnto his nephew’s shop, one fine spring morning. ‘Going to marry Charlotte Staugkton, eh !’ and beset his cane 7 -rathe rfjtfavily on-tßwllbor. The vourig tnan whom he addressed, an ac tive, intelligent mechanic, blushed, turned half round, and stammered, ‘ Why—yes sir,—l —’ * Knows too much by halt! What does a poor follow like you want of a woman that has stbdied : . geography, and geometry, and geology, and nobody knows what besides ? r l here’s Sal ly Sampson,— ’ ‘ *But, uncle, Charlotte is something better P'han aMentecl trifler with books. She is a thor ugh s*iolar; her mind is well disciplined; her is extensive and valuable.’ * Pshaw ! a foyer’s nonsense ! There’s Sally : -Sampson p.s’he’s’ somebody. She can spin and I weave,‘wash and iron, bake and brew; she'll be j ,u help.lir a-man.’ _ 1 ‘V-Csy uncle, but a man wants something be sides dollars and cents. He wants pleasant con versation.’ 4 Crazed, clearly crazed,’ said the elderly gen tie man. 4 There’s no hope now, nevy ! Rea soning is thrown away, fairly thrown away.’ ’ 1 There’s Sally Sampson,’ and he went delib erately towards the door; ‘There’s Sally Samp son. nevy. Yob’ll he sorry for your choice one of these days, nevy;’ and he sallied out, mutter * ing, just above his breath, ‘There’s Sally Samp son ! see’s just the one for a smart youth like him, just the one ; he’ll be sorry, one ot these days, lie’ll be sorry! ’ * How* preposterous! ’ exclaimed Mrs. Smith, an hour after, adjusting a stray ringlet. ‘Alto gether. absurd ! Charlotte Staughton marry a a mechanic! Have yuu any authority better than common rumor, my dear Kate? ’ 1 O, yes ; her own aunt, Mrs. Kston, told me of the engagement, ten minutes since, and spoke, too, in her quiet, smiling way, just as if she real ly didn’t think it was a disgrace to the family.’ 4 Yet I can scarcely credit it. So pretty and accomp’ished, and her grandmother so,'fund ot her, and folding her with and nurjisillis! ’ ie.-Jfc't must Kate. “of Tjhlbot, .ficeu’ied tnurfipnji 1? •* .i>rv to see lior lowered a tlifle.’ imUti are quite sure Mrs. Eston was not jok ing; are you, Kate?’ \ • (.Wtaiuly, O, certainly! ’ anti KtV rose to take leave, half afraid that her dreaded rival had not absolutely fallen so tiir as to he engaged to a mechanic. Tho same afternoon, Susie Eston came tripp ing through mv garden, and before she was fair ly m the house, cried, * Will you believe it, Mrs. S. ? Charlotte is actually engaged to Sidney Merton.’ • 1 have expected such an announcement, these sit months.’ ‘ But Charlotte is such a fine scholar, and so genteel, and agreeable, and— ’ • And Sidney is energetic, industrious, fine looking and well-bred.’ ‘Yes, but then his means are so limited. On ly imagine Charlotte making bread, and sweep ing, and doing all those things ; obliged to do it, Mrs. S.’ • ‘ Will not the exercise improve her health, and will not the skill thus acquired give her a deli cious feeling of independence?’ 4 0, I don’t know. But to think of a close cap, and a morning gown, and an odious great apron ! It’s a different tiling, this sentiment in the kitchen, front sentiment in the parlor.’ 4 It is not sentiment that the heart craves, dear Susie, but love ; deep, pure, abiding love ; and when this is once implanted, the tilings you speak of have no adverse influence. Let a smile be on the lip, and the 4 love light in the eye:’ then if the cap is clean, and the hair parted even ly beneath it, if the morning dress is an exactly titling dress, not a slovenly wrapper, and the gn a’ apron is smooth and spotless, believe me, they positively heighten the charms of a wife, and are far more agreeable to a husband than satins, and ribbons, and all the ornaments of the drawing-room.’ 4 Ah! you have given me one drop of comfort; but, after all, I cannot help thinking that Char lotte is throwing horself away.’ 4 And why throwing herself away ? She does not diminish her beautiful gifts. They will be unfailing sources of refined happiness, both to herself and friends; and 1 mistake her much, if she will sigh for an opportunity to cast her jew els to the crowd, to be gathered or trampled up on, according to the moment’s whim.’ ‘O, no, no, indeed! hut then, —but then,’ ‘But then, my dear Susie, your views, and the views of your fashionable friends, are exceeding ly contracted upon the subject of labor, and for give me if I add, not a little irreligious. This particular ease, however, appeals so strongly to prejudices, that I cannot hope to benefit you much by reasoning, or illustration. We will talk about it again, in Charlotte’s parlor.’ 4 1 hope it will be a pretty one; I detest ugly parlors ; ’ and the lively girl tripped back more merrily than she came. Yet even I could but admit a few cowardly fears. 4 They have been educated so different ly,’ I said, 4 Charlotte has been accustomed to such entire freedom! How can she be true both to herself and husband ? How can she strug. gle for perfection, render her house attractive, and, at the same time, make not too frequent demands upon resources which must long con tinue slender?’ 1 forgot, for the moment, how blessed u thing it is quietly to gather the good and the beautiful about the spot, whatever and wherever it may be, that the beloved calls home ; to hedge it in, and surround it with barriers which the discord and tumult of the world cannot penetrate ; to create an atmosphero of tranquili ty and peace, iinrufll<‘>l by a breath of discontent iiSMfeiiiiam “AS LITTLE GOVERNMENT AS,POSSIBLE ; Til AT LITTLE Eld or ambition. I forgot hoxv, in this beautiful work, the heart expands, hour by hour; how the exercises of patience, and forbearance, and thoughtful kindness, purifies and elevates; how healthlul activity sends the blood in its quickened flow to redden the lips, and mantle upon the cheek; how, in fact, the faithful discharge of home duties communicates an intense vitality, increasing the will, and doubling the power for action. I forgot how insignificant are the mere tmunplvs of society, yhe~ixppttftlsC'.of fill! “’’vo\v draxving r&om, the graceful, but heartless hom age offered not to worth, but to talent and to fashion. It was for a moment only. A sweet vision of domestic life, rich beyond measure in heart treasures, was before me, and I feared no longer. At the risk of seeming intrusive, I called on the married pair, the very evening after their return from a trip to Cape May. Their house was a small, old-fashioned, stone building, stand ing far back from the road, and nestling beneath tail, drooping elms, which vied with each other in shielding it from sun and storm. The heavy columns of the portico peeped out here and there, from among roses and honeysuckles, and only pathes of the roof were seen at intervals, so close were the interwoven tendrils. Small, dia mond-shaped glass crowded the windows, and ; heightened the agreeably antique air of the ] whole ; though, in truth, the foliage clung so j thickly about them, that but small portions of them were visible. As I approached, f caught the notes of a thorite song, and soon distill- j i guished the clear, sweet voice of Charlotte, and the mellow bass of her husband. 4 Love, music, and shrubbery,’ I said to my self, and, thinking a third party might not he quite welcome, 1 was on the point of turning away, when a white dress fluttered in the door way, and my friend, gleeful as a bird, bounded J over the flag-stones to meet me. 4 1 am glad you have come,’ she said 4 itis so j ! quiet and home-like. Besides, 1 want you to i help us plan. Sidney declares that the place | 1 tor each article of household furniture, down to I the mop and duster, is a subject for deliberation. So u[son such weighty'matters give us the benefit of your experience.’ ‘Gladly’! gladly! Ah, Mr. Merton, your hand -1 grasp is a right cordial one. It carries the I heart in it, I am sure.’ 4 lt docs in this case, at least,’ and with a i glow- of proud pleasure, he ushered nnv’nto a | little parlor/ which, in my iievt <1 ’ Coweii carpi?t, with a pattern of oak-teffvespnff acorns, covered the floor, the low, broadpivindow seats were filled with geraniums, verbenas, heli otro 4 e o nge trees, andvLctuses, and four nich j es sunk in the wall, were occupied with choice | books in substantial bindings, the joint library |of the young couple. Upon’ the mantel were j two pretty pictures, the ■work of Charlotte, in rosewood frames, and between them was a Targe sea-shell, filled with flowers. A little ebony stand, covered with sewing implements, stood in a corner, and two small tables were loaded with excellent engravings. Upon a folio Bible lay Sidney’s flute, a very line one, as 1 had often ac knowledged, with scores of mental thanks to the owner, in the moonlight evenings of the previ ous summer. I carefully scanned each article in the room, and 1 felt sure that the most fastidi ous could suggest nothing better, the circumstan ces considered. There were no lounges or ot tomans, no thutieuils, or mirrors, or chande liers, tilling that contrasted glaringly or un pleasanW/f with the homeliest details of a me chanic’s life. But there was a charming quiet ness. ‘I he very air seemed to brood with a lull ing power over the books, and pictures, and blossoms. ‘Alt!’ I mentally exclaimed, ‘Sid ney Merton can but love this spot. Here his heart must gather both warmth and strength.’ 4 We had almost forgotten the kitchen,’ said Charlotte, after an animated account of her visit to the sea-shore, which had brought to my very cars the rush of the sleepless billows.’ 4 Do you know that I am to boil my own kettle, and cook my own bread, Grade, dear? ’ 4 You ! ’ and I glanced at her fragile figure, her snowy forehead, and dainty hands, which verily seemed made for nothing but to touch the piano’s music-breathing keys. 4 You. indeed! with those delicate fingers, Charlotte ? ’ 4 Why not ? Are not white ones as good as brown ones ?’ and a ringing laugh went floating through the window, and lost itself in the thick et. ‘Wait and sec. Wait and see. We shall_ have no baker’s bread, no French rolls, but good, substantial, home-baked. Survey my kingdom, and say if it is not worth while to reign here.’ She opened a door as she spoke, and then added, • 4 Sidney avers that the reason why ladies dislike their kitchens, is, because they so oftrS'. permit them to be dark and unfurnished, and crowded with the coarser .implements of househokTtoil.’ 4 1 agree v*- T- ;> n, entirely; but the objection you have na|v- J- Etnnot be made to yours ; ’ and I looked with ~!??“ nt jJction upon the pleasant green of the walls, the floor.) of a cool stone color, rnnslin curtains, the flower-pots ranged in the window-seats, the nice mats, the table, covered with green cloth, and the water bubbling into a receiver in a recess, across which a curtain could be drawn at pleasure. After I had completed my survey, we passed on to a nice, airy room, which was to serve as store-room and buttery. Rows of maple boxes, glass jars, barrels and buckets, britannia and net covers, and piles of coarse napkins, still more effectually to shut out the dust met my gaze. I was really ashamed of my prolonged scruti ny, and inquired for the utensils that we were to locate. ‘You will laugh, Mr. Merton,’said I, but I must confess that I always grow enthusias tic over brooms and dusters. I learned to love them years ago, when a kiss from my mother was the reward of their skillful use, and my af fection was by no moans diminished during my school days. O those bright morning hours, ; when some worshipped, with 1 appropriate corem. hoitw ie spirit at neatness 1 I the waving of white arms, the glancing of active feet, the trcses of gold and sable glittering in AND MERCA/|H^Hr-C I{TISE!{ - COLUMBUSj Geoij the level sunbeams, the open through which rushed the fresh in the merriment!

I BfiEtfdwsiVs ■ oH the same laud, plo\ig 1 1 iug the \ wheat in. A contrivance for a harrow, levelled ‘ the ground after the plows. Laeh plow was , drawn by two oxen. The plows Were of the same pattern used by the Romans t\\ o thousand, years since. They were made of the fork of a small tree, one prong of which answered for the beam, and was cut long enough to fasten the oxen to ; the other prong was cut off about four feet long, and sharpened at the end, and .1 sin gle stick fastened into the fork and proj<? A > hack made the handle. This was the whole plow—lock, stock and barrel. When a forked tree cannot be found, the shoit stick is morticed into the long one ; the short prong is the coulter the long one the beam. I his was lastened by by a raw-hide thong to the ox-yoke, which, in turn, was fastened in front of, andjto the horns of the oxen, by another raw-hide thong. The handle was held by a paeon, who was armed in the other hand with a long pole, with a sharp -road in the end of it, which he unsparingly plunged into the oxen to quicken their speed or to change their direction. Som ”of the better plows have the coulter shod with a piece of iron, resembling a hull tongue, eight inches long, and tapering from thence to two inches at the point. This is the greatest improvement made upon the plow. ° The ground is never thoroughly broken up, and is only scratched a few inches into furrows deep. Efforts have been made to introduce bet ter plows, and some have been brought from the United States, but the Mexicans did not like to use them ; they were soon broken or thrown aside as useless, because no one would plough with them. The harrow was as simple a contrivance as the plow, and consisted of a single, stick of square timbur, the size of a joist, fastened in two places with a raw-hide rope to keep,it square to the front, and drawn by a v.

The great superiority j of the American axe is so evident, that some 1 few venturesome persons have commenced the use of them. A Mexican cart is the most unique of all their inventions. It has not a piece of iron in it. It is construct'd entirely of wood and raw hide.— I ) The axletree is a rough hewed log, rounded at i both ends. The wheels are mado of knotty live oak, two and a half feet through the hub, auu trimmed down to seven inches in the tread.— Two slabs of the same width nroßiinjied on to the centre-piece, to give rotundity \ A heavy tongue is morticed into the axle, and has a wooden pin inserted through the upper j end, by which to fasten it to the yoke.
