The Family Machine. The Government is run a3 a sort of family machine, where hungry incompetents are fed, clothed and uniformed at the public expense. It does not matter in the least whether they have been rebel sympathisers or not during the rebellion, like " old man Dent." To be of the family, no matter how remotely, is the first and greatest qualification, which supersedes hon

esty, ntness. and capability. The Presidem's house is no longer what it used to be. The duet Magistrate is approached onlv through a line of "Gen ends." There is Gen. Dent, who is a sort of chief usher, and atands in undress to admit or reject visitors, as they may be of the taitntul or suspected stripe, line class is handled by Gen. Porter, another by Gen. Babcock, and a third bv Gen. Some body Else, until the President is reached.

I ai i the standing miuw'ion to a large family of steady and affectionate children, of a "Friend" mother, w hom wc know, and we regard it as one of th mort important lessons which childhood can learn. Many a young man would have been saved from the halm had he learned in his lather's house how to " make himself Useful " under all the circumstances of life. And well do we know, that many a girl with a good heart has gone down to an early grave of infamy, troni being brought up, by a false kindness, without t'uknowledge of how she was to "make herself useful " in the various changes and adversities of life. Very many girls, in this drear winter weather, go to bed hungry, and rise to hover around stinted nies, and shiver ali day in scanty clothing, wearing the wrinkles of sadness and care on faces yet in their teens, willing enough to work and abundant work to do, With liberal pay, in luxurious mansions, whose rich occupants would count it a " fortunate thinj;" to find a person suited to the place. AVhy, then, are the doors of all our charities besieged and daily thronged I and why does the pitiful appeal strike the ear of the pedestrian in his early walk, or n i the .lav promenade, or nightly rhnl to or the party, the lecture, the concert opera ? It is sfanply because these starving, freezing girls were not brought np to he useful, were not tituirht, ly careless or over-indulgent mothers, how they might command situations. The incessant and earnest cry ol thousands of almost despairing honaeheepera, is for competent " help," to cook, to nurse, to sew; for chamber work, or for waiting. Within any twenty lour hours, 000, may we not saj 10,000 - nch girls could find welcome home-, in the very beet families in New Toxic, at high wagea But American girls think it degrading to cook, anil nurse, and wash, and wait on the table, and their more inexcusable and short-sighted parents confirm them in their views: and the next we heal of them is "starvation," "suicide," premature disease, or a dishonored grave. Let all these, especially those who can leave their families nothing, impress on the minds of their Children, day by day, that it is mere dishonorable to beg than to work, that it is more criminal to do nothing than to be industrious; that no employment is dishonorable which is useful ; and that it is not only a disgrace, but a crime to be idle, from feelings oi a despe II.. ible false pride. J.ili'. .lnru0. ilth. "f The Force eff Contraction. Thk force of contract ion i-; equal to thai of expansion, and quite as Irresistible. Its immense power was strikingly illustrated some y an since in Paris. The two sides of a large bnikling, the " CVaarrnfssn . AfU it Metier," baring been pressed out by the Bpreading of the arched ceilings and the Immense weights supported by the Boors, H . Molard und rtook to remedy the eril by boring hob s in the wall at the base of the vaulted ceilings, and opposite to each other, through which strong iron puis wet" introduced, so as to CfOJI the interior ol An building from one side to the other. On the proj cting ends of the bars on the outside of the building were placed strong iron idatee, which were Screwed, y means of nuts, tightly against the walls. The rods were then heated by nnans of rows of lamps placed under every alternate bar, and being lengthened by the expansion, the nuts and plates w re pushed out to the distance of an inch or more beyond the walls While in this Condition, the nuts were screwed a second lime tightly against the wall. The lamps were then extinguished, and the rods, contracting as they cooled, drew the wails togeihj r S ttk a force almost irresistible.and t a distance as great as thai to which they had to be lengthened by expansion. These bars being then let I in their new position, the fflttsramft b.ir--, which had remained unbeated, and by the contraction of the others had been also made to project beyond the walls, were again tightly screwed SgsittSl the building. These were in turn expanded ami lengthened by the :i j I i -;t Hei of the lighted lamps, and once more screwed up tightly nguinst the WafJa. The lamps were then extinguished, and by the contraction of the second set of hen the wills were drawn rtffl farther toward each other, These were then left, in turn, to hold the building in its new position, and the first et of bars : neond time brought into requisition. And thus the process was continued until tin- walls were drawn into the proper vert teal position ; and Unbars being left in tlnir places, they have remained linn and upriglit eyersinee. In this manner ;i force was exerted which the power if man oonJd scarcely have applied by any other means The same process has since been spplled to the restoration of oiin-r buildings whick were threatening to fall.

Congress anl Parliament. There is no reasonable doubt, we pre

sume, that this is a great country great not only in territorial extent, navigable streams, large lakes, high mountains, deep valleys, fertile plains, mineral resources, A.c., Ac, but in those peculiar and price less attributes of nationality which secure to the citizen unobstructed enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. At least our writers have announced the fact several times in prose and verse ; our divines have preached and prayed over it from the sacred desk ; our orators have ventilated their rhetoric upon it from the platform and the stump, and the agreeable conviction of our own intense and undi luted bliss is duly impressed by every possible means upon the minds of the rising generation and the generation already risen. This pardonable spirit ot selt-tip-preciation and sei f-admiration has natural ly begotten a feeling of pity toward other nations less happily situated, and more especially toward Gn at Uiitain. Knowins how much wiser and b- tter we are than our mother, we have been looking for the last half century to see her domin ion crumble into its original elements, and merge into the vast ocean of triumphant and untrammelled Democracy. But as up to the niesen t time Great Britain has üteadflv declined to verify our Fourth of Inly prophesies, and manifests a disposi tion to live and flourish a little while loncrer, we have pod Led our predictions and proffered our sympathy, wehere shown John Bull what a cheap, Tree and altogether blessed government was this of ours, and what an expensive, despotic and altogether damnable government was that under which he dwelt: we have exposed the crimes of "ablotcu aristocracy there, and descanted upon the virtues of the populace here; and we have begged and entreated him to escape from the paw of tin- Iiritish lion and come and repose himself under the sheltering winffS of the American eagle amuiing our oppressed cousin that the proud bird alluded to was exclusively cm moved m watchim; over tue poor man and seeing that he received a proper allowance ot food, clothes, and lodging. Now all this is very line and very patriotic, but the country is just at present passing through a crisis which, if carefully examined, may possibly lessen our conceit and add to our wisdom in the same proportion. Monarchical England is not exempt from financial convulsions, and is yisited perhaps quite as often as we are with seasons of hard times times when money is scarce, the necessaries of life dear, trade and commerce paralyzed, and the massei of the people distressed. Monarchical England, not being as far ad vanced as we are in the science ol government, has no Congress to do its legislating, but is forced to depend upon a Parliament. Observe in what a iiieer, oldfashioned way Parliament goes to work to meet such an emergency as we have described. No aooner does that body meet than the condition of its constituency comes up for consideration, and, without unnecessary delay, without useless discussion, without senseless wrangling, wise measures off relief are proposed and passed, and the wheels of business are set in motion hi tore the complicated machine is precipitated into a general crash. The kingdom is saved from impending ruin and resumes Its wonted prosperity. Republican America is managed differ cntly. Congrese commonly supposed to be the servant of the people, and therefore pledged to guard their interests has been in session a fortnight. When it assembled the nation stood on the verge of a Crisis ; nearly every branch of industry palsied, and the financial system was crippled to such an extent that the most thoughtful men trend le i tor the result. AU eyes were turned toward Washington as the only source from whence help Could come, and it w;is hoped, nay, believed that the first labors of Senator.-, and Representatives would be devoted to remedy the evils which Oppressed us. All conceded that the p met was there) if the holders of it would but employ it rightly and promptly. Then- was UO reason wbj it should not i" so employed, and every reason Why if should be and yd it has not been. Two Weeks hive passed away, two precious weeks, which have already brought bankruptcy to hundreds all over the country, and prepared the elements of commercial destruction for thousands in the future. Matters have gone on from bad to wor.se until the dearest head dare not guess how soon the avalanche may commence its march of devastation. Meanwhile, Congress has overflowed with tom-nts of idle talk about negroes, reconstruction, judidal rights, foreign relations, and buncombe generally, but not a sin gle siep baa been takej toward tlx practical solution of our financial difficulties. The country h literally bleeding at ev ry pore, while these legislators are fretting the air of the capital with mere sound and fury, signifying nothing. An English ministry which should in dnlgein such shamelees tril Ing in the nice (1 public distress would b i pelted with mud through the streets ot london, and consigned to overwhelming defeat and grace by the voice d an outraged people. But then, England isu monarchy, and we are a republic ; England has a queen and a nobility, and we have neither crowns mr tit it s. Let u, therefore, continue to look upon her with suprt ms con tempt, and, wrapping the drapery of the stats and Stripes aboul us. lie down to pleasant dreams. Muttouri lapeoaaaia, iMxtm 3.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD

Lahor in Farming. Thh farmer has got to work himself rich. There Is no getting away from this; mere calculation will not do it, though it is the necessary forerunner. The land must be worked not only mellow, but continued to be worked, stirred as much as may be, the more the better. This hits two birds wit hone stone; it mellows the ground and enriches it: and what is best perhaps of all, it costs nothing whence it comes from the atmosphere, where it is free for all. This stirrina takes it in, mixes the air with the soil, and the soil at once takes up its fertility. This continued, there is a continual increase of fertility ; hence the more it is stirred the better. Besides, when the soil is made loose, porous, the air will get in it of its own accord, the ground lying undisturbed, but porous enough to admit it, and the rains wash down the fertility which the$ car ried from the atmosphere ; the soil is mellow enough to do this, not having the water standing on it dead without any use, souring the soil, which is hurt tub Hence the doctrine of frequent stirring the soil. We know by special experience that this is true. We have tried it in field and in garden, but particularly In the latter, one season, using no manure, and re lying w holly upon the atmosphere by stirring the soil. Though the soil had been exhausted, the garden proved an unusually good one. Since then we cannot too much favor working in the garden and cultivating hoed crops, and always with the same results. We have not mentioned the moisture which i.s produced" in the operation. This is considerable, and in a drouth indispensable Our garden was worked in a drouth. This is labor; and it is gratifying to know that the more thai we do Hi" more we tret benefited that the benefit is in proportion to the labor. Each utrrner should therefore direel hie farm operations to this p fleet, bo s t- pn I a ci-rn; to work, not to run oyer his I md to get the work done. The effort to save and apply manure is another branch of labor. Nothing pays better than this. Save all: take pains to make it ; and to prevent it from being lost after it is made; and then apply it properly. All these things arc important and when taken together eery important. This much for the kind, which, however, has t In r claims upon our labor; hut the two mentioned are the main ones. Next comes the great stock department. Here we can employ labor with profit to a large extent, labor first ami most important, in securing the foddt r properly. Unless this is done the stock cannot bo Well kept. Pains must be tak n to s cere hay and the straw ol grain early and in a tender condition, properly cured. Effort must go to secure this, care as well as labor. Then, warm quarters provided, there must be attention given. The Stables must be kept clean ami dry; this by using litter Saw dust, straw, leaves, dried muck, dec, and dairy seen to, daily comfort given to the sensitive family at the barn. Feed carefully, plentifully, and curry your stock; it pays. Cut your fodder mostly. This is helping to masticate it lor your stock. Cook it, steam it, or scald it. Wc know this is discontinued by many that once engaged in it; but it i-; on act unt of the labor. See to it thin that you make j use of it To sum up, it should be the object of the farmer to tek to get labor rather than to do as little possible, lor this is the lever that lilts bun along. It is the profit on t Inlabor invested that is the principle ol farming. Prairie Farm r. Telling a Shot p8 Age. Thb only correct and reliable way of determining the aire ot young sheep is by their teeth. After the last teeth have appeared, BO that "the mouth is full," it will be impossible to determine the :iire with reliable certainty. Like neat cattle, sheep have no incisor teeth in the upper jaw. The age must be determined by the appearance of the incisor or front teeth ol the lower jaw. At two months old, all the incisors of the lower jaw have in most lambs appeared. These incisors ;tre retained until the animal is twelve to sixteen months old, wlu-n they begin to be displaced, just as child r n sin d their teeth; but not all at once. The two central in cisors are displaced and renewed Brat by permanent ones, which will have attained their growth when the animal is two years old. If we look at the teeth of s sheep two years old, it will be seen that the two central im is us have usually attained their full si.e. The next year, one incisor (n each side of the central pair will displace the first teeth, and a ill be pushed out even with the central ones. When the animal is bet ween two and three yean old, lienext pair of incisors will be renewed. After three years have elapsed, another et of incisors will hays appeared. Between the ages of lour and live, t he mouth will be full of incisors, After a sheep Is five years old, it will be found impracticable to determine whether the age is five, six, or seven, unh ss some of the incisors have begun to disappear. After the seventh or eighth year, some ot the side incisors begin to show signs of decay, or to disappear entirely. 11 the teeth appear old and decayed, and sonic are entirely gone, we (all safety conclude that the animal is over eight years old. .! Imming of the age beyond this period will be found no more reliable than shrewd guessing. Hearth and linn . MFu1 Him." This is the advice of the Ameri n 8toei Jour mat. The writer says : "We sometimes see men having the care of and driving a team of h rses or mules, whipping the poor animals because they do not understand their wishes. .Many a time the leader horse r mule is unmercifully beaten for BO other reason than thai the driver's order is not understood. If the driver, in such a case, should speak gently to the leader, pat it a few times on the neck to reassure it of his friendship, take hold of the bridle and lead it a few steps in the direction he wishes to go, and all this without any excitement or ant;, r on his part, the leader will always do it.-, beat to please him. " In driving a horse to a carriage, however gentle a d wall trained he maybe, something may happen to alarm or brighten him; tins is no (anil of his he cannot help it. All he needs is a wand or two ol encouragement, gently spoken, to reassure him of his master's care and presence, and that all is right. There should be no whipping done. The driver should recollect that he gets alarmed or frightend to sometimes, and would think hard of being whipped lor it." The Troper feptft of Drains. A mum In the PrmeHceU Farmer writes as follows : In all I call ties, when ander-d rains ate requin d, a drain may be made lour feel In depth and he no more effectual in com ing away the excess of wat r, than if the depth had been only thirty inches. For example, if most of the w it-r veins were about two feet beneath the surface, a drain thirty inches deep would collect all the surplus water quite sis effectually ss if the aaoe drains had been sunk to the expensive depth of tour feet. n the contrary, if the water reins were over thirty inches below the surfsce ol the ground, the bottom of the drain should be made a few inches below t he point where the vi ins are cut off. Therefore, we have this rule for determining the correct depth for making under drains in any locality, namely, a depth of thirty inches, always, if it is practicable to sink drains to Bttch a depth and have the advantage of sufficient fall to carry oil the water, and deeper than thirty inches if the water rein are not reached, fa many instances, the tirst system est Water V( inslhs fully three f et from the surface of the land When sin-ii g the ease, the ditch a shook be made full three feel ;nid a half in depth.

unless the ditch has already been sunk over three feet. After a water vein has once been cut off, the water issuing from it will ever afterward find a ready passage, and keep it open to the bottom of the drain, so long as the channel remains open, for the water to flow away.

John 11. Ki.iiTAUT, Secretary of the Ohio Stale Hoard ot Agriculture, writes to llfirtlt .md Home m favor of transplant ing plants at night. He says the plants he transplants at night live and grow as a rule, seldom wilting or withering, wniie almost all of those transplanted in sunli'dit wither, and ui inv of them die. As an illustration, he says he transplanter 1,000 strawberry plants at night; their growth was apparently uninterrnntea. Mknding Egos. A pigeon fancier at Toulon liis found B novel use lor the marem of nostace stamns. When he find - a cracked offtr, and is able to make out that - m rt the livlne epidermis is intact, he mends the egg with the gummed paper, and replaces it in the nest to be hatched. He OSS done the same thing with pheasant eggs. One precaution must be observed. The paper used must be as nearly as possible of the same color as the egg, or it attracts the notice of the hen, who makes efforts to pick it off when she turns the egg, ami in so doing often breaks it. Planting Trjok. In later years, the old way of cutting back the limbs of trees to be planted baa been abandoned in Europe. Now the limbs are not cut back, but only such limbs removed, winch are too close. The middle limb and four or five others are left in their natural state. The Second year these limbs are cut back to about hau ot their length. The result is, that soon alter the planting in spring leaves appear at the top of the branch' is, and by their aid, new, small rootlets are Lr aerated earlier than otherwise, and that the trees in the second year form stronger wood than if they bad been cutback the first year. Prairie Fin,i, r. BonaDi rar won Stkawuebriks. Bonedust may be sown broadcast over strawberry heds in early spring or at any time during summer. It 18 better to apply in rainy weather, as then the soluble portions are immediately carried down to the rootaofthe plants. If the strawberries are cultivated in hills, then a handful of bone to each will be sufficient. We usually apply it upon the surface, and then work it in with hoe and cultivator. The quantity to be applied per acre should be varied according to the richness of the soil, if poor, a half ton or even a ton will do no harm, but much good. We consider bone a valuable fertilizer for ail kinds of soil, and there is little danger of applying too much, provided it is mixed with the soil. Btärth .md llnuc. To Baku Braks.

There is a popular prejudice concernins the evil effects of night air, about which a word must be said. In her admirable writings on hygiene and the management of the sick, Miss Nightingale has done much to correct this mistake. It was formally the universal belief that the air of night was very injurious. But the fact is, that, except under certain circumstances, it is as healthful, or even more so, than that of the day-time. The night air of large cities, such as London, when the bustle and commotion, which cause it to be loaded with dust particles, is comparatively quelled, and the numerous fires which contaminate it with their smoke are mostly extinguished, is purer than that of the day. Nothing conduces more to healthy sleep than good ventilation, and no mode of ventilation surpasses that obtained by opening a window at the top, by which the Influence of draught is s voided, while the upper stratum of air, to which impurities ascend, is certainly renewed. But there is still another reason for at times adopting night, even in preference to day, ventilation. In . ultry weather it is a common mistake to open the windows instead of keeping them altogether closed, as is the case in very hot climates. But a little reflection will show that since the hight of the thermometer in the sun always greatly exceeds that shown at the same time by another thermometer placed in the shade, by opening the window we admit air much heated into our rooms. The proper time, under such circumstances, for ventilation is during the night, when the externa atmosphere has cooled down. By adopting this plan in hot weather, the temperature ol a room may always be kept several degrees lower than u the opposite course is pur sued. Good Health. Crystal Itasket.s. These pretty ornaments are not at all difficult to make. The basket, or any other ornament is tirst. fashioned with copper wire, as a skeleton of the pattern desired. For blue crystals, take a saturated solution of sulphate of copper in hot water place th" pattern or skeleton in this liquor, i:nd Set it in a quiet place; as the solution cools, crystals oi the sulphate will be deposited on the wire. The first crystals will be small, but to increase their size, it is only necessary to place the ornaments In a fresh and perfectly saturated solution of the Copper salt. For yellow crystals, use the yellow prnssiate of potash. For ruby, use the red prusshUc of potash. For white, use alum or acetate of lead The salts of chromium and many others arc equally applicable for this purpose, if greater variety of color is ante 1. To preserve these ornaments in all their beauty, they should be kept under glass shades. All the salts named arc more soluble in hot than in cold water; hence, as the hot solutions become cold, a part of the material is di posited ; in so doing, each metallic salt assumes a particular shape of crystal, as though endowed wi'h vitality. These crystals vary in form according to the metal, but are invariably the same, for the same metal, and are as characteristic of their origin as a Sower is of the parent plant. Am i iain Omeewtfe. Anecdote !' a Dosr Mv eldest son. Says a writer in the diijf School Herald, was walking over the fields in the country, a lorn' way from any dwelling, when he was pursued by a hi dog belonging to the gentleman whose land lie wss crossing. The lad was alarmed and ran for his life. He struck I into :i wood, but the dog gained fast upon btm, When he looked round to see how near the dog was. and Mumbling over a stone he fell md broke Iiis leg. Unable to move, the poor boy saw the dog coming down upon him, and expected to be ized and torn ; w hen to his surprise, the dog came near, seemed to notice that the hoy was hurt, instantly wheeled about, and wentSoff for that help which he eonkl not give himself. The dog went oil' to the nearest house and harked for help. Unable to arrest attention, he made another viit of sympathy to the boy, and then ran to the house, there showing sueh signsof anxiety that the family followed him to the place where the lad lay. This dog was punning the l,y as an enemy ; but the moment be saw his enemy prostrate and in diatrcss, his rage was turned to pity, and he flew i his r. Lief Or.
