There was a cloud on my brow wbeu I sat
down to the dinner table. No wonder, yon
will say. None in the world; for the inaulting
words of my son were still ringing in my ears
and smarting on my heart. My wife and
daughters tried to he very agreeable, hut I
1 "‘u crusty, and threw sufficient cold water on
their enthusiasm. Aa we were about riling
from the table, Edward said to me with a cool
assurance that, under the circumstances, fret
ted me exceedingly
“ l.told Mr. G , this inorniug, that he
could supply my place.”
“ What ?” I exclaimed.
“ I’l| never make a merchant,” said the fei-
low, with all imaginable composure; “ and I
see no use in wasting my time over dull ac
count books, or soiling my hands with dirty
coffee bags and molasies hogsheads.”
I’m afraid 1 used rather unseemly words for
the head of a family, in the presence of his
family and applied to jnc of liis family. My
memory isn’t very cleir about the matter, aud
I don’t care to increase its lucidity. 1 was an
gry, without doubt, and spoke under strong
excitement; for my mind had been quite un
easy ahont Edward since his entrance into the
couuting room of G where I thought his
mercantile education « onld bn thorough.
“ Never make a merchant!” “ Dirty coffee
hags and molasses hogsheads!” “ Dull account
books!” This was handsome talk for a young
man whose father was a merchant, and who
had been among account books and dirt}’ mo
lasses hogsheads since he was a boy.
“And what do yoti expect to make!” I
asked, after I had cooled down a little. “What

It was soon a gay round of party-going, and
attendance at places of fashionable amusement.

dress iu a week, than in rcy whole life befofe.
Then there were Mrs. A % “set,” and Mrs.
B ’s “receptions.” and such things ad tutu
seam. Oh, dear! bow I sicken at the contem
plation !
The npshot of ail this was the marriage of
Jnlia, iny oldest danghter—too old to be caught
by such n worthless fellow—to the idle, fash
ionable spendthrift son of a bankrupt father!
All! what a mistake was that! They set up
in grand style, flourished six months, and now
I have them both in my house aud both to sup
port. This is bad enough, but it is worse to
sec an unprincipled young man breaking my
child’a heart by neglect and nnkindness.
It has not been so bad with Anna, my young
est daughter; and yet I saved her from a worse
fate by intercepting her flight with a whiskered
and moustached fellow, who had the entree of
Mrs. A 's splendid mansion, and was a fa-
vorito in her “set.” It was afterwards proven
that lie was a barber in London, and bad left
a wife and children there.
Ah! how pleasantly, and with a good hope
for the future, was everything progressing
when I had the misfortune to be numbered
among our “wealthy citizens.” How ail is
changed and blasted now' The teputation
•till clings to me, like the Old Man of the
Mountain to the weary shoulders of Sinbad;
and if I do not succeed in getting rid of the
false impression, I shall be ruined. Fiity per
cent, and more have my expenses been in
creased, aud still I am scarcely treated witli
common civilty at home, because I will not
buy a large and costly house and furnish it in
a style of princely elegance. 1 am the bird
that can sing and won’t sing, and mnst be
made to aiug. I am o “ wealthy citizen,” de
priving iny family, through meanness, of the
position they have a right to occupy. Edward,
the idle puppy, his silly face made more silly
by the frizzled tow on his upper lip, wiio dis
gusts me drily with his presence, has actually
fouled his tongue with the word “ governor,”
as applied to me. I overheard him use the
term while in conversation with the husband
of Julia. Neither was aware of my proximity.
How my blood did boil! I wonder that I man
aged to restrain myself!
But enough! 1 have ra ; sed tbe curtain suf
ficiently high to enable you to see all I have
mentioned, and a great deal more. And now
I let it fall witli a groan. If there should be
a failure in street, sime time daring the
next year, of a merchant thought to have been
worth over a quarter of a million, you will
hardly err in assuming that the unfortunate
individual is your prescut correspondent, “one
of the wealthy citizens of Philadelphia;” for
daily I grow more and more deeply impressed
witli the fact that to sustain a reputation of
two hundred aud fifty thousand dollars is just
the next thing to impossible.—Godetjs Lady's

Lika Beans.—We see that some ofourhreth
ren of the press are recommending the pinching
off of Lima beans when six feet high, instead of
periuiling the vines) to run around poles ol fif
teen feet. This is an excellent practice, and was
first suggested by ourselves, which seems to he
forgotten by those who then repudiated and now
adopt it. Such treatment causes the vine to
grow to a much larger size, throwing out side-
shoots witli a larger crop of fine fruit, and to
perfect the beans before frost, instead of contin
uing to hear indefinitely and to perfect hut few.
This is an excellent crop when so manage,I, and
always profitable. It only requires full fertiliza
tion and thorough disintegration of the soil to
raise a pint or more of Lima beans ]icr pole, and
with such a crop sold at six <iollars per bushel
in the dry state, the yield will equal four hun

A New TIicory-EIcclriclty in Steam
BOn-ERS.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin we extract
the following:
Every investigation into the causes of a
steam boiler explosion that meets _ our eye,
shows the helpless ignorance that exists every
where. The most elaborate inquiry can scarce
ly enable a jury to do more that offer a con
jectore as to the causes, and an intimation
that the disaster may have been the result of
somebody's carelessness. _ To day’s mail brings
ns southern papers containing an elaborate re
port from a Louisiana grand jury on the terri
ble explosion of the steamer Princess. It tells
nothing except that “opinions’’ agree in ascrib
ing it to a deficiency of water, and then they
S roceed, for the purpose of satisfying the pub-
c mind, to censure various persons for lack
of vigilance and caution. But this is all that
the report amounts to. The real cause of the
phenomenon which led to the calamity is not
hinted at.
A communication in Saturday's Bulletin,
signed “H. D. B.” placed clearly before the
public the results of certain experiments made
by Messrs. K. L. Lloyd and George T. Parry,
of this city, iu illustration of a theory first
suggested by Mr. Lloyd, and after his death
developed by Mr. Parry. Our readers need
not have the story told over again. The idea
is that electricity, generated in boilers, as it is
in tho atmosphere, may explode nnder certain
circumstances, as it does in the atmosphere;
and that liy introducing permanently into the
boiler an insulated metalic rod, this electricity
uiay constantly be carried off harmless. ‘ The
experiments made by Mr. Lloyd to test an in
strument of this kind in a boiler that had al
ready been some years in use, seem to have
been very faithfully made; and tbe fact that
Mr. Parry, and those assisting him, exposed
themselves to the danger of a boiler, with all
its water gradually boiled out heated to red
ness, and then suddenly supplied with cold
water, is a proof of their confidence in the dis
covery. A boiler thus treated ought to have
exploded. That this one did not, must have
been owing to some peculiarity, and the only
peculiarity was the insulated metalic rod.
lathis discovery should stand the test of
continued experiments, it will be of inconceiva
ble benefit to the world. It is perfecting Frank
lin’s great idea of the lightning rod, and it will
be of infinitely more use than that; for the
loss of life and property by steam is far grea
ter than it ever was by lightning. It will make
steam a perfectly safe and coutrolable agent,
and who can estimate the advantage of thus
depriving such an agent of its dangerous quali
ties ? We hear that a number of parties who
have examined tbe article of “ H. D. B.,’’ arc
determined to apply the insulated metallic rod
to their boilers, the experiments reported en
tirely satisfying their minds. Others, who are
not altogether convinced, think the theory
plausible, and as the contrivance is not very
costly, are going to have it, because they think
it may be right, aud at ail events it can do no
harm.
A Xegro Acting as Pastorfor mite People.
—A gentleman of Mississippi, who was for
merly a resident of Giles county, in Tenuessee,
has furnished the following statement (for the
truth of which be vouches) to the Quid Kune:
On Lynn Creek, Giles county. Tcuu., there
is a Hardshell Baptist Church, supported by a
number of wealthy communicants of that “per
suasiou,” who for several years past have had
for their regular pastor a negro man, black ns
the acc of spades, named George—known as
“Bentley's Old George," and belonging to the
cstateotone Mathew Bentley, deceased. Geo.
is said to be a most excellent man and a
good preacher. Sometime ago, lie held a no
ted public disenssion, lasting four days, with a
white preacher, on tbe snbjcct of Baptism, from
wbwh tk« wkittt man is said to hare come off (if
any- difference) “second best.” The Church
wants to buy George, but he is unwilling to
hc sold oat of his master’s family, and is with
al a regular Southern pro-slavery parson.—
George is the "preacher in charge” of a large
congregation, nearly all of whom are slavehold
ers, aud who pay him a salary of $(>00 or $700
for his pastoral servicss.
KEPtr to the ScorrER.—To a young infi
del who was scoffing at Christianity, because
of the misconduct of its professors, tbe late Dr.
Mason said: “Did you ever know au uproar
to be made because au infidel went astray from
the paths of morality 1" The infidel admitted
that he had not “Then don’t you see,” said
Dr. M., “that, by expecting tiie professors of
Christianity to be holy, you admit it to be n
holy religion, and thus pay it the highest com
pliment iu your power ! The young man was

The Ostrich.
M. Berg, a surgeon in the French Navy, sta
tioned at Senegal, has addressed a curious pa
per on tho Ostrich to the President of the Impe-
cies of that bird throughout all Africa, but that
being migratory its habits may vary according
to climate nnd locality. Ostriches live in herds
on both banks of the Senegal, hut only from
December to March, which is the dry season,
towards the end of which the sun having parch
ed all the grass, the Ostrich goes farther inland
in q uest of pasture, for it is essentially herbivo
rous. There is always in a herd a much larger
proportion of females than of males. When
there are more than six males in a herd oft wen
ty Ostriches, the supernumerary ones are driven
away by main force by the others. Although
Ostriches do not lay eggs more than once a year
in lower Senegal, M. Berg is of opinion tliat they
lay a second time during the rainy season when
they have moved inland. The female does not
lay before the fourth year of its age, the num
her of eggs varying from ten to thirty; the nests
are always placed on high table-land and hid
den among long and dry grass. Artificial in
cubation by the heat of a stove does not appear
to succeed with Ostrich’s eggs, hut the Moors
put tho eggs into sacks together with cotton
seed, which, in germinating, evolves a favora
ble warmth. Contrary to what might be sup
posed, there- is scarcely any trade in Ostrich
feathers at Senegal, the Moors hunting the bird
merely for sport, and not for gain. The feath
ers are seldom perfectly white, but generally
end in a small black speck. Those obtained
from the living bird are far preferable to
those got hy sportsmen, whicli are generally
spoilt An Ostrich should not hc stripped of
its feathers until it is at least four years old,
and then it must be done only once a year, in
order not to injure tlic bird. M. Berg denies
that Ostriches, as stated hy Adamson and Milne
Edwards, can throw backwards with great
strength, in order to check their pursuers; but
tlic horse, being instinctively afraid of Ostriches,
will check its own gallop, when near overta
king them.
Baptist Preachers.—The Richmond En
quirer says on Sunday twenty niuc places of
worship in and around Richmond, were occupi
ed by llaptist Preachers, now in attendance in
Convention here. The reverend gentlemen
selected for this duty numbered sixty, and
were from all Southern States except Virginia.
The degree of moral and persuasive eloquence
displayed yesterday, in the pulpits, hy these
gentlemen! has rarely been surpassed in our
midst. Some of the discourses were pronoun
ced to be masterpieces of thought and talk.
Senator Beniamin—For about two weeks
past the lion. J. P. Benjamin lias been confin
'd to his rooms by a disorder of one of his eyes,
wliich affects the use of both. It is under med
ical treatment, and will hc restored, but the
progress is slow, and lie is not expected to be,
able to attend to business for at least a week,
[H-rhaps even a longer time. In the meantime,
t is proper to make this tact known, because,
since his return from Washington, he is in tlic
constant receipt of letters wliich lie is unable to
attend to or even to read. His correspondents,
who have, perhaps been looking for replies will
see the unavoidable cause of delay, which we
hope a short time w ill entirely remove.—N. O.
Picayune.
I Golii for Jewelry—Pure gold is never re
quired for jewelry, and is usually alloyed hy in
troducing a small quantity tX silver and copper.
Silver renders it lighter in color, and copper
gives it a deeper shade, inclining it to a reddish
hue. The jeweler of the present day relies in a
great measure on dies for the forms he gives the
articles tliat come from his hand. These he lias
cut in steel with care and many of them are
lieautiful, and often they are very intricate.—
The gold is rolled out into stripe, and what is
beheld is all that it professes to be—pure gold;
hut the proportion ot the metal to the whole is
very smalL A strip of gold, not thicker than a
silver dollar, is secured to a liar of brass of cor
responding size but much thicker iu proportion.
A llux is applied to unite the two, and the mass
is subjected to the action of the fire. At the
proper moment it is*witlidrawn, and when cool
the two uietaLs arc found firmly united. The
bar is then rolled out between cylinders set in
motion hy steam power, and this operation is
continued till the metal, in the form of a long
ribbon, is not thicker Uian letter paper. It is
then cut into small pieces of the size required,
and the artisan so places them in succession
tliat the die falls upon each in turn, giving to it
tlic required form. As the die rises the piece
last struck is removed, add another piece is
placed over the socket, ready to he struck when
the die comes down again. The dio is attached
to a heavy weight, which gives force to the
blow, ami it is guided by a grooved framework.
The Scat of War.
a .battle expected at varexgo.
Paris (May 9) correspondence of London Times.
The inaction of the Austrians has surprised
every one, after their peremptory summons to
Piedmont. A French Geueral writes that
they seem to have recklessly thrown away all
their advantages. They were first on the
ground, before the Freneh had yet moved to
the support of their allies, aud to make that
support efficient, troops have bad to be sent in
hot haste from every available quarter. The
priority in time, of which they do uot seem to
nave made much use, is more than counterbal
anced by the rapidity with whicli the French
arc swarming to the theatre of war. The ar
tificial inundations they must, from their knowl
edge of tbo country, have been prepared for,
and tbe floods caused by the heavy rains, ns
well all other accidents of the seasons, ought
to enter into the calculations of the comman
der of an army which is about to manoeuvre
against an enemy. So strange is this inert
ness, even to novices in warlike operations, as
to give rise to the suspicion tliat tbe apparent
ly retrograde movements, as mentioned in the
Slonitcur, cover some deep strategic plans
slowly developed, nnd which are not obvious
to people at such a distance as we are from
the scenes of operations.
I have heard military men express their as
tonishment—the same who believed that the
Austrians had, hy their being first on the field,
the opportunity of attacking the Piedmontese
before their auxiliaries came up, beating them,
aud then, taking up a strong position, await
ing the French. The official bulletins from
Turin of the 8th inform us that the Austri
ans have advanced from Verceili on Burouzo
and Saluzzola, and that they continue to for
tify themselves on both banks of the Sesia and
at San Germano; that a reconnaissance was
carried on the tele Ju pont of Cassalc, where
they were attacked by# the Piedmontese and
retired.
Private accounts of the 7th from the seat of
war state that tlic Austrians, finding the banks
of the Po too swampy for their operations, have
rccrossed the river, and are moving on Turin.
They add that the French generals earnestly
desire to sec them advance on that city, as iu
that case they express their confidence that
the combined armies wili give a good account
of them. Another nud :i private despatch
seems to corroborate the fact of a movement
on Turin. We are so far from tho seat of
war, and the information allowed to transpire
is of so meager a kind when there is any in
formation, that we cannot give an opinion oil
what passes just now on the banks of the Ticino
or the Po. ,
The following letter, dated Genoa, the 4th
inst.. has been received in Paris :—
Ali the troops of the line have quitted this
town to proceed to the cantonments assigiied
to them ; the Imperial Guard alone remains.
This concentration of the Guard leads us to
suppose that the Emperor will arrive iu Italy
by Genoa, and grand preparations are being
made to receive him. His reception on his
landing will be splendid. The National Guard,
of which some companies have not yet receiv
ed their uniforms, are pressing the army tail
ors so that they may appear in good feather
when Napoleon HI. arrives. AU the boats iu
the harbor are already hired to convey pas
sengers to the Imperial ship of war as soon as
it shall be telegraphed. The entire popula
tion, noble or otherwise, rich or poor, will he
ou foot tliat day. You may feel assured no
liberating sovereign’ever had a more magnifi
cent reception. People will come from a dis
tance of fifty miles to witness the Emperor’s
landing. .More than 150,000 persons will
crowd tbe quays, the mole, and the surround
ing hills, which present a magnificent view of
the harbor. A recent telegraphic communi
cation from Alessandria announces tliat the
in, troops httvu mada another forward
movement. There is every appearance of an
approaching great battle on the ground of'JXTa-
rengo, ichere Kapoleon. then Consul llunaparte,
vanquishes Otc \Avstrtans. ■
For the last two days rain has been falling
iu torrents, and'our unfortunate soldiers en
camped on the higli roads have suffered severe
ly. They have, however, been supported by
I hat constant good humor which uever aban
dons French troops. Yesterday a Zouave re
lated to me in tlic following terms the predic
ament in whicli lie found himself the previous
night:—“Figure to yourself, sir, that we fix
ed our bed iu that of a torrent; be it under
stood it was dry—not a drop of water, but
small stones, rather sharp. \Ye had gone to
bed and fallen asleep without the trouble of
blowing out our caudle. So far ail well; but
in the middle of the night there was a change,
for we awoke with the water up to our waists.
Such a torrent—it is certain that it must have
sold itself to Austria. We were paddling like
ducks, aud there was no possibility of our
changing our clothes, fur all were soaked with
rain. We consequently waited until morning
to.warm ourselves with the«m>- oftne
good rind. Vow we think no more about it,
as you may perceive; and, besides, we shall
experience many similar inconveniences.” The
fact is, that in order not to injure private prop
erty our soldiers’ camp was pitched ou the
road to Novi and Allessandria, in the bed of a
torrent which traverses the entire valley of
Polcevera. The Piedmontese cannot complain
of onr men, for never did a friendly army con-
duet itself better in a foreign territory. The
passage of our troops through Genoa has been
a superb affair for the Genose.
The French officers having, quitted France
unexpectedly, bad not time to supply them
selves with the most indispensable necessaries,
and it was in Genoa they purchased their
mules, saddles, and baggage carts. A fair for
the sale of mules was held every day in the
market place. The Genoese liorscdealers,
like their brethren in other countries, extorted
extravagant prices; as much as 500f. and 70Uf.
were paid for a male. Our troops have left
millions in Genoa.

the Rothschilds ever dreamed of. By our enter

chartering for our exclusive use, every one of the
various noted manufactories of the old and new

monest Dresses, coaxed out of us by the Courts of

for the use of Victoria and Eugenie, we arc enabled

to consider human life.
Our goods are always perfectly fresh and new, for
if they are not seized within an hour after they are
opened we immediately box them up and send them

phia and Baltimore, und we would state for the ben
efit of tho uninitiated that these auction rooms are
supplied exclusive from the refuse goods of our es

That our goods are far cheaper, our stock larger,
our facilities for buying greater—that we sell more,
and in fact do everything at our PALACE better
than any other house, is evidenced by the fact that
we are the only parties who say so in the public

Being rather too busy ourselves to get up a suita

Baron Munchausen and we are afraid ho has put

Tlic Tlircc Dynasties of France.
Tho three dynasties of France—the liona-
part, tho Bourbon and the Orleanist—occupy
curious positions in the present war. The reign
ing head of the Bonapart family is the leader of
the allied armies of France and Sardinia, and
is on tlic eve of taking the field against Aus
tria. The head of the Bourbon branch, Count
de Chambord, who has resided in Austria for
the last twenty years, has abandoned the pro
tection which that country afforded him in ex-
ilv, and retired to Holland, refusing to remain
under the flag of a nation at war with his be
loved France; mid the Orleanist branch, in the
person of the young Duke de Chartres, on the
declaration of war joined the army of Sardinia
and the cause of Italian independence, consen
ting to fight in the ranks whereof tlic occupant
of the throne of France is tho acknowledged
leader.
But the elder branches of the Orleans family,
being opposed to the course of tbe young Duke,
who, following the example of his ancestors—
Philip Kgalite aud Louis Philippe—is anxious
to fight on the side of tbe republicans, have re
called him to London from his position as Lieu
tenant in Victor Emanuel's army
Tho Count de Chambord, not being a sol
dier, has undoubtedly done the best he could
in withdrawing from tiie Austrian dominions;
and tho young Orleanist followed the natural
impulses of chivalrous youth in accompanying
his comrades to the battle field; but we think
his uncles have pursued an unwise policy in
recalling him from a position where He might
have won some eclat for the Orleans dynasty
before the eyes of theFrcnch army,which might
have been turned to some purpose iu the un
certain future of the destinies of the present
ruler of France. Henry V. has thus gained
the advantage in the race of the two outside
royal houses.—X. Y. Herald.
