A MEMORY.
BY CHARLES L. WHELER.
ago. bencith the nrehea
Os our tall, patrician t era,
Sat I in toe evening twilight,
Fan ed by tlie gentle breeze:
Mop was ritlii g close beside me,
And her hand was laid in raino,
While our hearts’ unequal heating
Acted love's sweet pantomime.
Forth the starry ho ts wore marching,
In 111 ir bright and blazing helms,
But I lidC ’cd not their splcnlor,—
All my stars were ’neath the elms !
O, not with gtns-es telescopic
Needed 1 to swe p the skies;
Heaven itself to me disc aided,
And its stars were woman's eyes !
There we sat, and talked, and trifled,
While tire hours st ile noiseless by ;
Vows wo made, and hopes we kindled,
That seem and too dear to ever die.
Thus oft wc met. and oft we parted,
Trimming still love’s guiltless lamp ;
Venus’ coming oft was look’d for,
But heedless passed Mars’ fiery tramp.
Sweetest flowers, born of beauty,
Pcri-h ere the rule winds blow ;
So tlie flower I loved and eheri bed
“Passed from out life’s vale of wo*.
—Tremblingly the leaves are tailing
From the tall, patrician elms,
While alone 1 sit recalling
Thoughts of one in yonder realm!
THE STING.
“ ft was a little treacherous thing,
To steal upon me when asleep,
And bury in my lips its stiug,
So very deep!
Canst thou not, sir, devise some way.
Some gentle way, a soothing art,
To draw the sting, the pain allay,
And ease the smar t 1”
“ Oh ! yes. my fair, I have a way,
A gentle way—a soothing art,
To draw the sting, the paiu allay,
And ease the smart 1”
“ Ah! try it quickly, then,” she cried;
“ But, fairest, take it not amiss 1”
My lips to hers I close applied,
Ands ole a ki.-s.
“ I feel the gentle, soothing art,”
She sighed and saiJ—“ the pains decay,
The s‘ing is drawn, and gone the smart —
Quite gone away 1”
“ Nay, say not so—the kiss I steal,
It steals the sting, my love from thee,
But, ah! ’t's only gone, 1 feel,
From thee to me !”

STOPPINGJJULLIES.
There is no rolling land worth much
that will not wash intogullies. The good,
ness of land depends upon its subsoil; and i
the subsoil that is too hard and tight to
yield to the torrents of rain that sometimes
full, is too hard and tight to produce much
of a crop, after the little vegetable mould
that lies on the top is exhausted.
I ntil very deep ploughing, therefore, be
comes prevalent, we may expect our lands
to wash, if they are of any account ; and
even then, perhaps. For I think, with
the open te.xtuie imparted by a warm cli
mate, and the floods of rain prevailing in
the lower latitudes, it would require deeper
ploughing than can be performed by horse
power to prevent washing in these South-
ern States.
It becomes, therefore, a matter of no or
dinary impoitance to know how gullies
can be effectually stopped. It is said by
those who have male the attempt by
throwing in logs and brush, that they can
not bo stopped. Their ineffectual efforts
have filled their minds and their mouths
with the maxim that water mil have its
way; and, seeing it flow round their logs
and rubbish, they have, many of them,
betaken themselves to cutting ditches to
give it a straight send; forgetting that
flow as it will, if unimpeded, it carries
with it, in solution, the very finest mould
on the plantation.
I say guides can he effectually stopped;
and I say it, because 1 have tried it, and
the method is easy. It docs let the water
have its way, as it will have; hut it stops
the sand, and that detains the mould ; and
the labor is not half equal to that of cut
ting ditches. The method is short.
Begin at one side of the gully, at a dis
tance to u-'iich the water cannot rise, and
drive down a short stake. Carry a row of
stakes, thus driven in, across the gully to
an equal distance on the other side. Let
the stakes be near enough to each other to
admit of wattling. Then wattle them with
brush. Pine brush is the best, because it
more completely intercepts the sand. The
water will passthrough the brush, but the
mould will he detained, and your land
saved, Several of these rows should be
run across the gullies, at proper distances,
from lo to botfom. This is a good season
to begin.
A Book Farmer.
[Fioni the Co’umbua (Geo ) Democrat.]
TINE LANDS.
It is the prevailing opinion among far
mers that the pine leaf or straw is delete
rious to land—consequently we annually
seethe ‘region of the pines’ burnt over
for the purpose of destroying that poison
ous subject! Do such farmers ever icflect
upon the wise provisions of Providence ?
For what purpose does the foliage annu
ally fall ? Is it merely that the new leaves
may put forth to beautify and adorn the
trunks? By no means. It is that they
may go through their gradual and sure de
cay, returning to the earth not only the
nutriment which the earth had given them
but that rich quality which they had ta
ken from the atmosphere. It is well known
that pine soils lack potash : and beyond
cavil or debate, that the pine leaf contains
more potash than the leaf of any other
tree ; and potash is one of the first princi
ples in the growth of all plants and veget
ables. What a suicidal policy then to de
stroy the very substance destined by na
ture to enrich pine lands, and then mur
mur at unproductiveness ? Farmers who
cultivate pine lands, preserve your lands
as you would your dwellings from the
ruthless flames. Cover your cow pens,
your horse lots and your stables with pine
straw. The treading of the animals, with
their manure addeJ, will soon decompose
it which will make a fine compost for your
vegetable garden. Husband your pine
straw as you would husband jour crop,
for with it you can make any crop in the
bounds of reason, that you may desire.—
Tiie finest Irish potatoes that are made in
this climate are made under pine straw.—
This crop has proved almost an entire fai
lure in this section this season, and yet
‘ aulil Ireland’ never produced a more
‘mealy pratie’ than my crop turns out this
season, planted under straw. There have
been many failures in attempting to culti-
vate the Irish potatoe in this manner, but
it has been owing entirely to not truly co
vering with straw. Like the fellow that
took a feather and laid his head on a rock,
they say if a few straws make such mise
rable potatoes, what would loads do ?
Those who would have good Irish pota
toes, no matter whether the season be wet
or dry, plant as follows, and j'ou will not
only get a good return of delicious pota
toes but you will enrich the soil and save
culture :—As soon after Christmas as pos
sible, plough the piece of ground designa
ted for potatoes; open trenches six or
eight inches deep, and two feet apart,
across the ground, fill the trenches with
partially decomposed wheat, oat. or pine
straw. Cut the potato once in two, place
the cut side downwards on the straw, about
six inches apart, now cover all with the
remaining earth on the top of the ridges un
til it is all level, then cast on pine straw
until it is eighteen inches deep all over the
piece—it will require no afterculture, and
each succeeding year with the addition of
a portion of straw, will increase in pro
ductiveness. As the winter and spring
rains beat down the straw compactly, de
composition commences at the bottom, and
no matter how dry the season may prove,
there is always moisture, and consequent
ly and good potatoes. Remember, ye who
have pine forests, that pine straw is the
very best manure for pine lands.
Fruit—the importance or its cul
tivation. —It has been suggested by a
distinguished agriculturist, that fruit will
soon become an article of diet, quite as in
dispensable as any other article now in
common use.
A supply of good fruits—apples, pears,
plums, peaches, grapes, &c., is necessary
to the comfort and convenience of every
family. Farmers who have land, and who
can command the requisite means and time
to attend to the matter, without detriment
to the more essential duties of their calling,
are certainly culpable in no slight degree
if they fail to secure, to themselves the
mar.y advantages resulting from the pos
session of a fruit orchard oil the most lib
eral plan. The expense of attending to
fruit trees is indeed a mere trifle, and no
one desirous of seeing those around him
happy, will ever consider it an objection
worthy of the slightest thought.
It is true that latterly far greater atten
tion hes been paid to this important de
partment of productive industry than was
formerly the case; yet notwithstanding
the multiplicity of fruit orchards, vineyards,
Sic., and the greatly augmented quantity
of fruit annually brought to our markets,
there is still a scarcity in many sections
and the price of prime fruit is exorbitantly

New Variety of Cotton.*—A new
kind of Cotton has been introduced into
Tennessee, called the *• Golden Boll.” It
lis a native of Central America. The fol
| lowing description is given of it:
I li The average height of the stalks was
about four and a half feet, planted four
feet apart. The distinguishing properties
which characterize this description of cot
ton areits prolific production, the long silky
texture of its fibre, and the astonishingly
large size and great number of bolls. Se
veral of the plants had from one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and thirty, of
which from sixty to eighty were fully ma
tured, ten of which, being frequently tested
by scales, weighing four and a half ounces
of seed cotton. The bolls that did not
reach full maturity of size all opened, and
are yet opening, yielding cotton apparent
ly of as good quality, hut not of the same
amounts, as the more early bolls.”

AN IRON BRIDGE OP A SINGLE
TUBE.
The present age is mighty in enterprise
and gigantic in intellect. The wonderful
events that have crowded upon one another
so rapidly during the last eighteen years,
have no parallel in grandeur, nor in the
display of masculine genius. All the
works of the ancients piled together are
dwarfed when ranged along side of the dis
coveries of Watt, and made more pigmy
still, since Fulton harnessed the ocean to
| our ‘ leviathans of the deep.’ With the
works of these mechanics, everj’ school
boy is now acquainted ; but beside these,
other great inventions havelike new plan
! ets burst upon its oftentimes, during the
! space mentioned above. We will not al
i lude to them at present, but we would bid
| those who look upon the structures of old
Jas the alpha and omega of human genius,
I to follow us for a few brief moments, while
! we describe a work which has lately been
! executed, and the like of which, Rome in
all her glory could not boast of. Since the
introduction of railroads into England, that
country has projected and completed works
of such magnitude, that they appear more
like the labor of Titans than men. Among
these we may mention the Tunnel of the
Thames and various othertunnels. Moun
tains have been pierced to make way for
the rolling locomotive, as well as rivers
la'sed upon the shoulders of these iron bar
ricades, that have effected a greater revo
lution in the social condition of her popu
lation by far, than those that might de
throne a monarch or defeat a tyrant host.
But famous though these tunnels be, we
believe they must yield in originality of
conception and scientific daring to the i
bridge ma le of a single tube of iron which
was thrown across the river Conway, last
Spring. The bridge stands out as the j
monument of a distinct and grand idea that j
will give immortality to the inventor. Mr. ;
Robert Stevenson, son of George, the sue- j
cessftil inventor of the locomotive, was j
the first to propose an iron tubular bridge.
The first form proposed was a lube of a ,
circular form, but Mr. Fairbairn, of Man-j
Chester, a skilful engineer, becoming as- j
sociated with Stevenson, experiments were j
tried which resulted in proving the square
form far superior to the circular in every
respect. After many experiments to dis
cover the best contrivance to resist vertical
and lateral torsion, a model was formed of
a square shape with longitudinal cellular
compartments, square at the top and bot
tom. This model was 80 feet long, 4 feet
6 inches deep, 2 feet 8 inches m breadth,
and rested on two supports, leaving a space
of 75 feet between them. It weighed
about 5 tons, and was subjected to the se
verest tests to prove its strength. A weight
was attached to its centre, and increased
ton by ton, and the deflection carefully
noted. Atterthreesuccessive experiments,
it was discovered that its breaking weight
was 56 tons, that is, the model only weigh
ing 5 tons of 75 feet in length could siand
the enormous pressing weight at its centre
of 56 tons —more than eleven times its
own weight—a result highly satisfactory
Mr. Fairbairn concluded from th s experi
ment that hollow beams of wrought iron
constructed on the same principle, whether
used for bridges, or buildings, were three
times stronger than any other description
of girders—to this fact we desire to call
ihe particular attention of our engineers. •
The great tube was built and finished in
about twelve months after it was com
menced. It is 412 feet long and weighs
1300 tons, and is formed of wrought iron
plates from 4 to 8 feet long and about 1
inch in thickness. The plates were riveted
firmly together to ribs of T angle iron on
both sides of the joints, and to those who
have seen the workmanship, the regularity
of the rivets gives the great tube a highly
ornamental character. This was done by
employing a punching machine upon the
principal of the Jacquard loom, which per
formed its work with wonderful precision
and rapidity.
The ceiling of the tube is composed of
eight cellular tubes, each 20 incites in width
I and 21 inches high, formed of wrought
iron plates three quarters of an inch thick
in the middle and half an inch towards the
end of the tube. The floor consists of six
cellular tubes 27 inches in width and 21
inches in height—with a plate ol iron cov
ering every joint on the under side. The
sides are united to the bottom and ceiling
hy double angle irons within and without.!
The entire length of the tube is 412 feet,
11 feet wide, 25 feet high in the middle
and 23 1-4 at the ends.
To the sensitiveness of iron to atmos
pheric changes or temperature, the skilful
engineers were not blind, in applying a
compensation base to provide for the ex
pansion and contraction of this stupendous
fabric of iron, consequently the ends of the
tube were made to rest upon 24 pairs of
iron rollers connected together hy a wrought
iron frame, and the tube also partly sus
pended to six cast iron beams, under the
’ extremities of which were placed 12 gun
1 metal balls ot 6 inches in diameter to act
| as castors to the ponderous bridge, and fa
| ciiitate its expansions and contractions.
The huge mass w as floated from the spot
1 where it was constructed to the spot where
| it was to be erected on six pontoons, on the
the 6th day of March, 1848, amid a crowd
of wandering Welsh peasants, and as it
| was built about 100 yards from its site and
had to be fitted to its position in one mass,
! we consider this successful operation one
I of the most signal triumphs of scientific
j skill ever exhibited. How the hearts of the
projectors must have throbbed with feverish
anxiety, lest some unlucky accident, or
some unforeseen defect should cap the
climax of their weary studies and watch
ings, and doom them to disappointment
and disgrace!—besides General Pasley's
‘ spleen, who high and lordly, proved its
failure before its commencement, a com
( mon thing with the merely scientific, who
have not the good fortune of the practical
i along with it. But the ponderous iron
i giant was built, was floated and fitted into
. its foundations, without a single accident
to mar the sublime undertaking.
This great mass weighing 1300 tons had
to be lifted from the pontoons 24 feet in
the air. llow was this done ? Simply by
j the pressure of water forced through two
small tubes only three-eights of an inch in
■ diameter. These were two Bramah force
i pumps one at each end of the pier, driven
]by two steam engines. As an evidence of
the wonderful power of water as an in
compressible body, let us describe the ope
ration : Each hydraulic ram or pump con
sisted of a cylinder three feet in diameter
! to the outside with a cylindrical cavity of
] about a foot and a half in diameter—of the
i actual thickness of nine inches of solid
iron all round. Into the cavity of this
j cylinder was fitted the ram, as it is called—
-1 a mass of solid iron 17 inches in diameter,
so that it did not fit the cylinder quite ac
; curately, but left a vacuity for the pas
sage of water to the bottom, Attached to
the top of this ram was a cross head two
| feet thick, with two square apertures
for the chains to pass to lift the tube.
The chains were of Hat bar wrought iron
‘ 7 inches wide and 1 1-2 thick, and 6 feet
long. The stroke of the ram was 6 feet
in its full range. Two high pressure ho
rizontal engines were to do the work. —
! Each cjdinder had a piston rod running
i through each end connected with the plun- [
j gets of force pumps having a stroke of 16 j
inches. At the top of each hydraulic
press there was a small tube three-eights
i of an inch in diameter and connected with
i the force pumps. These two little tubes j
j were the channels of the mighty power to j
i lift the whole structure. Insignificant in
appearance—no bigger than a large quill,
we well may admire the scientific attain
ments that through them, with a stream of!
water no thicker than sometimes trickles
from the cheek of beaut) - , this mighty mass
of iron was borne up in mid air, like the
fabled coffin of the prophet of Mecca !
After the engines commenced working
and the small streams were rapidly forced
into the tiny tubes, the mighty tube rose
slowly hut gradually into the air, At eve
ry six feet the engines were stopped and
the chains re-adjusted at the head of the
ram, and by a succession of such rises, the
tube finally reached the desired elevation,
24 feet, and dangled in the air as the plaj - -
thing of the two hydraulic engines, and
then it was laid upon its foundations as a
monument of engineering skill unsurpass
ed in any age or country. Since then the
locomotive with its train has thundered
across its iron pavement, and we hope it
will stand for ages, the praise and admi
ration of future generations.— Edinburgh

A Good Irish Anecdote. —Some years
since, when the beautiful painting of
Adam and Eve was exhibited in Ireland,
it became the chief topic of conversation.
( Finally a poor, ragged, illiterate peasant
! went to see it. The light was so arranged
jas to reflect on the picture, and leave the
| spectator in comparative darkness. The
; peasant, as he entered the room to see his
i first p.-vents, was struck with so much as-
I lonishment that he remained speechless
for some moments. He stood like a statue,
and as though his feet were incorporated
! with the oaken floor of the room. At last
with an effort, he turned to an acquaint
! ance and said :
j 4 Borney, I'll niver say another word
; agin Adam in all my life, for if 1 had been
! in the garden, I would have ate every ap
ple in it for 1 tie sake of such a lovely cra
| tur as Eve.”
It is needless to add that this was re
ceived with roars of laughter.
‘Nothing Else.’ —‘Not a little amused

princely banquetling hallos the New \ork

a discussion touching the origin of the
phrase, “It aint nothing else,’ ’ or “ lie
wasn't anywhere else,’’ etc. One quoted
I Watts, as having been the first to suggest
this negative style of affirmation, in the
lines:
“ ’Tie heaven to rest in thine embrace,
And nowhere else but there.”
Another contended that the first use of
it was by Lamb, who in his reply to Cole
ridge's query, “Charles, did you ever hear
me preach ?” replied, “I never heard you
do anything else,’ ’ etc. We remember to
have heard ‘ ‘ Jim Grant ’ ’ say one morn
ing, when it was not known whether Mr.
Van Boren had or had not received the
nomination of the Baltimore Convention,
and in reply to a question whether he
would be likely to get it: “Get it?’’
said Jim; “get the nom-i-nation? lie
won't get nothing else ” —and he didn’t.’

‘They was asingin’,’ replied the wit
