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.

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 Book. 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 dred dollars or more (ht acre in value.— Work- in o Farmer. re!" 7 ®®fr you au interest iu their bu- '•icll!” 1 inquired. nut twcuty-tive thousand dollars,' my bouse, so he had to depart.

Having noted as Secretary during the entire session, and exhausted as he finds him self, the editor of this journal cannot pretend to give, this morning, the very voluminous proceed ings of yesterday. As is usual, a large amount of business was crowded in the last day of the session, aud the record would exceed the capa city of our columns, even if we were phy sically able to write them out. There are many things connected with the Convention to which we would gladly refer if we could, which we uinst postpone t<*a more convenient season. 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 silent. — 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. h UU~i STONE’S H AT; r EMPORIUM OPR LAN IER MA^NCaI . .:.uu.raac\'l. (0 0. B.

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.
