BAGGAGE TRAIN. Support Your Own Mechanics. There is no truth more undeniable than that it is the bonnden duty of every community to support its own mechanics. They are a worthy and indispensable class of men, and we find no town flourishing without their aid. Indeed, their presence or absence is always a true index . of the condition of a place, whether it is advancing in wealth and importance, or sinking into decay. Whenever we pass through a village and hear the frequent sound of the carpenter's hammer, the ringing of the blacksmith's anvil; that village, we say. to ourselves is flourishing. It cannot be otherwise; for the producers are actively employed and outnumber the consumers. Whenever this is the case, the people are growing wealthy and at the same time training the rising generation to habits of industry and morality. But, if a city or a village pursue the opposite of this course, neglects its mechanics and supports those of some foreign town those who can, will be compelled to go to some other place, and those compelled by the force of circumstances to remain will become iJIe and profligate they will cease to produce and become beggars and their children ignorant and vicious. . If a merchant would have around him substantial customers, let him by every means in his power, support and foster the mechanics of his village, and as they become more wealthy their custom will increase, especially in those articles on which he makes the greatest profits, for it is undeniable that as men become more luxurious, and no merchant will deny that articles of luxury always afford the greatest profits. The habit of importing largn quantities of cheap and half made articles of competition with our village mechanics are short-sighted and wrong, both as regards the mechanic and consumer; and if the merchant would look further into the operation of things, he would find that he crossed the path of his own interest by doing so. Let the merchant bring the case to his own door, and he perhaps may better understand it; suppose that every individual who possesses the means, and who uses in his family four or five hundred dollars worth of goods per annum, should, instead of buying of him at retail, go to some city wholesale establishment and purchase a year's supply would he not in. bitterness condemn such an illiberalcourse, and would he not say tohim with truth, that he was warring against his own interests, by destroying the business of the town and giving it to another, and that his littleness would reach upon him in double fold, by the decrease of his property and business. So in the case above instanced, could tiie mechanic say to the merchant. We say then, let all classes support each other, and by mutual exchanges, keep that at home, which, if, unnecessarily expended abroad, tend to destroy the business of your neighbor, and which in turn destroy's your own. Xewporl News. Barnum's Elephant. Lieut. Gov. Brown, of the New England Farmer, having made some inquiries respecting the diet of the elephant whose exploits in plowing have been mentioned in all the papers, the great showman replies in a way not likely to encourage the general introdution of that kind of labor: "He eats on an average one bushel of oats and one hundred pounds of hay per day, Sundays and all. ' His weight is 4700 pounds. He will accomplish. nn j kind of work set before him, nnd uses three times belter judgment than threefourths of the 'help' which I am obliged to employ on my farm. Above all things he is not an eye servant. Set him lo work piling wood, picking up stone, or anything else, and you can leave him without, fear of his playing "old soldier' in your absence. Another capital negative quality is, that he don't pick up his duds and start for home exactly at fi o'clock in the afternoon, as many other Farmers, 'assistants' do. He is willing lo labor until sundown, and even later, if work is pressing. On the whole he is a very honorable, industrious, intelligent and well behaved farmer; nevertheless, I cannot conscientiously recommend elephants as the cheapest workers on a farm. They cannot work in cold weather, and of course would eat themselves up, trunk and all, in a single winter." Worth Knowing. One pound of copperas (costing seven cents) dissolved in one quart of water and poured down a privy, will effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smell. For water clost-ts on board ships and steamboats, about hotels and other places, there is nothing so nice to dense and purify those places, as simple green copperas, dissolved; and for sick rooms it may be placed under the bed in anytihing which will hold water, and thus render a hospital or other places of the sick free from unpleasant smells. For butchers' stalls, 6sh-markcts, slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrid and offensive gasseS, dissolve coperas and sprinkle it about, and in a very few'days the "bad smell" will pass away. If a cat or mouse dies about the house and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in a cup or jar anywhere within "smelling distance," and the cure is sure. I have known a stock of goods which were nearly spoiled by a "skunk under a store to be cleaned and restored by simply sprinkling dissolved copperas about the floor. An Excellent Custom. In Munich, Germany, all boys found in the street asking alms, are taken to an asylum established for that purpose. As soon as they enter the door, and before having been cleaned, or their dirty clothes removed, a portrait of each one is taken, representing him in the same form as when found begging. When the portrait is finished, he is cleansed, and presented with a new and neat suit of ciotlu-8. After going through a regular course of education, appointed by the directors of the asylum, they are put to learn a trade, at which they work until they have earned enough to liquidate all their expenses from the first day they entered the institution. When this is completed, they are dismissed from the insiitution, to gain their own livelihood. At the same time, the portrait, taken when they first entered, is presented to them; which they swear they will preserve as long as they live, in order that they may remember the abject condition from which they have been redeemed, and the obligations which they are under to the institution for having saved them from misery, and given them the means of feeding themselves for the future.

Wild Pigeons. In perusing Bancroft a few days since, we were struck with the doubt contained in the following sentence. "The myriads of pigeons, darkening the air with the immensity of their flocks, and as men believed, breaking with their weight the boughs of trees on which they alighted." The italics are ours used in order to direct the attention of the reader to the subject matter of doubt. Now what was doubt with Mr. Bancroft is reality in experience of all lovers of the chase, and sports of the fowling piece througout the great West and the sunny South, where these wild birds still congregate in "myriads." Were we to affirm that we have seen boughs of of trees, as large as a man's thigh, fcroken off by the "weight of these birds, we would only be making an assertion that is susceptible of the "strictest proof," by oral testimony; but we could go still further, and produce the "record" in the form of broken limbs, such as we have spoken of, and the bodies of giant trees still bent under the pressure of this living accumulated weight, by travelling some forty milss in a northeasternly direction from this place. We would thus be enabled to bring the doubter to u roost that has been occupied by these clouds of wild pigeons for two winters. It forms an aera of some three miles in the Parish of St. Helena and were one to come suddenly upon it, the first reflection that would occupy the mind,

would be, that it was the tract of some terrible tornado. We were on the ground with onr fowling piece in the winter of '52, when the whole forest was literally darkened, and swayed to and fro with the weight ot this Jiving load. We tied a mong them until faint with the exertion of loading. when we seated ourselves on the ground, in possession of a long pole we had cut, and thrashed away bringing several to the ground at a blow These are facts which no one doubts in this latitude, and any one who would have the hardi hood to express doubt, would be laughed at as "green.

Pat Your Help. The laborer is worthy of his hire. If those who hire would remember it, great would be the advantage to the hired and great the gain to justice. But very frequently the employer forgets; he thinks it is of no consequence the hired can ask if they want it, or it is not convenient to pay just when it is due. This is all wrong. The employed have their engagements to meet as well as employers. They have a credit to sustain, and probably enjoy the feeling, as do others, that money is quite as safe in their own hands, or deposited according to their will, as if held bv a slack and very busy crediter. They generally, too, dislike to have to dun their employers for money, and if sensitive will suffer before demanding it.' Be - just, and pay promptly. Squaring matters at once is a good practice for all parties, and has no disadvantages in it. Have SoMETuryo to Do, and Do it. The se cret of all success in life, of all greatness, nay of! all Happiness, ts to live for a. pvrpuse. There are many persons always busy, who vet have no great purpose in view. They fritter away their ' energies on a hundred things, never accomplishing (iavthing, because never giving their undivided attention to any one thing. -. They are like butterflies, that flit from spot to spot, nevergaining wealth; while the ant, who strictly keeps to a certain circuit around her hole, gradually lays up stores for winter comfort. Such persons are doomed to be dissatisfied in the end, if they are j not sooner; tor they will hna in the race of life they have been passed by all who have a purpose. It is not only the positive drones, therefore, but the busy idle, that make a blunder of life for want of a purpose. . A QUARBEL FOR PRECEDENCE CURIOUS MlSsiles. I recollect having witnessed a ridiculous circumstance when in Galway. I had been invited with some other officers of my regiment, to the annual entertainment given by a celebrated sporting community, since defunct, called "The Blazers;'.' and being all duly assembled, we were in momentary expectation of receiving a summons to the eating room. Suddenly an uproar was heard within; and a waiter, "with hair erect," rushed into our presence. "What the devil's the matter?" inquired the chairman. "Oh, my lord, my lord 1" responded the affrighted attendant; "Come quick, for the love of Jesus, or there will be bloodshed immediately ! The servants have fallen out about - their rank, and they're murderin' each other wid pickled onions!" Maxwell's Wanderings. Change for Market. "My dear," said an affectionate wife, "what shall we have for dinner to-day?" "One of your smiles," replied the husband; "I can dine on that every day.". "But I can't," replied the wife. "Then take this," and he gave her a kiss and went to his business. He returned to dinner. "This is an txcellet steak," said he, "what did you pay for it?" "Why, what you gave me this morning, to be sure," replied the wife. . ' " "The deuce you did !" exclaimed he; "then you shall have money next time you go to market." 3rln certain cities of our favored land, additional to the practice of printing druggists' puffs, or board fences, stone walls, houses, ike, the colporteurs have been bringing the same means of impression into their service, and printing on them Scriptural injunctions. A gentleman was lately startled, while passing through the street, to read upon a fence, "Take Hobensack's Liver Pills," and directly beneath it, "Prepare to meet thy God." : jtIt is a curious fact that at parties,' balls, or wherever a refreshment table is spread, every man seems to regard it as his jost duty to fill himself to the very mouth with all the "delicacies of the season," and to accomplish it in the least time possible as if he was a gun, and anxious to ascertain his calibre, and find out how quick he could be loaded in case of necessity.

Every machine sold will be warranted to be made in a substantial, workmanlike manner, and of the best materials, and when properly used accordingto directions, to be capable of cutting from 8 lo 10 acres of grass, und U) to 15 acres of grain, with one span of horses, on ordinary fields free from obstructions, und do it better than can be done with scythes or cradles. The change from a Mower to a Reaper can be made in a few moments, and the reel is so constructed that it can easily be adjusted to any height of grain; pr when required can be used for cutting grass. This Machine Is well secured by Letters Patent, and purchasers will be guaranteed its unmolested use. Manufactured by the American Mowing and Reaping Machine Company, at Buffalo, New York. - The improvements on this machine are the adding of a reel raising or enlarging the wheel so as lo cut three inches higher stubble than last year, and altering and strengthening the arch and pillar blocks and wrists to cutter bar and giving two knives instead of one with every machine. We are now confident that we hare the best Two Horse Machine in the world; some others may cut a wider swathe and will require four horses, making an unwieldy and expensive team to handle in ttie wheat field.

KELSHAW SINKER, Manufacturers of Boilers and Sheet 1 ron Chimnevs of all forms and sizes, have Inst completed the most modern and improved set of Boiler Makii'g Tools at present In use; by which improvement we are enabled to punch the rivet holes with as perfect accuracy as if first put together and drilled, which dispenses with the use of the riemer and drift to straighten imperfectly punched and ill-shaped holes punched on the old plan frequently causing the Iron, by straining asunder the fibres, to crack the sheets between the rivet holes, as all men posted on boilers giving out. must irresistably bear evidence. ' Most of our riveting, nlso, is done by steam, by which improved process tiie rivet is equally staved up, filling the hole tight from head to point, finishing the rivet as perfect on the inside as out, and in place of weakening the rivet, and making it brittle by much hammering, when cool; leaves it in its perfect state of strength and tenacity, and insuring the purchaser, in every respect, an article superior to any made on any other plan in vogue. By the aid of Ihe above improved .facilities, and a practical experience of 20 years at the business, we guarantee to onr customers and the public. Boilers made of No. 1 charcoal iron, that cannot be surpassed in point of cheapness and quality of workmanship, by any other firm In the Union, All our Boilers are first tested by a pressure of steam before leaving the shop, and warranted perfect, or no sale.
