He had a beautiful, weak woman, with whom his cultivated, refined mind could hold no communion. Finlay returned to town an altered man. His ambition had been sanctified in his own estimation, because it was not entirely a selfish feeling.
In all his visiuns of success his honors were to be laid at tlie feet of his Caroline.

She needrl the excitement and admiration of a crowd to give her animation. It was not worth while to exort herself to please one, and lie on ly her husband. Thus driven from that home, which should have been the haven of rest and peace, Finlay fled to the sueiety of the gay, dissippated young meu. Soon his office and law books were forsaken His client's frequent knocks were unanswered they became less and less frequent, and at length ceased entirely. They had lost their advocate, their counsellor.
He had rendered himself uo- worthy of their confidence. The hitrhlv cifted ambitions Finlay, had become a drunkard Alter a few years, Caroline returned to her father's house, because her husband was no Ion jor able to support her; aha returned a faded diasappointed, wretched woman. The viper sting ot conscience told her that she had brought all her misery upon herself. Why will not woman learn her own happi ness?

There were men around hi mil -Christian men retiring to rest without' prayer or if praying at all, a kind of mental desire for protection, without suf-. ficient courage or piety to kneel down in a steamboat's cabin, and before strangers acknowledge the goodness of God, or, ask his protecting love.
1 bis was the training of tome pious mother. Where was she now How many times had her kind hand beenlait! on the sunny locks, as she had taughY htm to lisp his prayers A beautitul sight was, that child at prayer in the midst of the busy, thought--less throng. He, alone, of this worldly multitude drew nigh to heaven. I thank' the maternal love that taught him to his evening prayer, whether Catholic or Protestant, whether dead or living, whe-' her far off or nigh. I could scarce re- frain from weeping then, nor can I now, as I see again that sweet child, in the crowded tumult of a steamboat's cabin, bending in devotion before his Maker.
But 1 little while before, I raw a crowd of admiring listeners gathered about a company of Italian singers in the upper sa- loon a mother and two sons, with harp and violin but no one heeded, no one cared for the child at prater. Wbeo the little boy had finished his evening devotion, he arose and kissed. his father more affectionately, who put 1 mm into ins ucrtn io real ior me nigni. I felt a strong desire to speak to them" but deferred it till morning. When mor- ning came the Confusion of landing pre-" vented me from seeing them again.
But if ever I meet that boy in his declining 1 years, I'll thank him for the influence' and example of that night devotion. and bless the name.bf the mother that taught him. Scarcely any passing incident of my ife ever made a deeper impression on my mind. I went to my room, and thanked God that I had witnessed it, and; for its influence on rr.y heart. Who prayV on a steamboat Who train their chil- dren to pray, evert at home? But, dearest, you know I have sev eral important cases upon the docket, which are just about to be tried; my client will be dissatisfied," said Finlay, in that mild tone of entreaty, which should find its instant way to a woman's neart.
"Nimparte; let them go, you -will have aomething besides clients to live upon, you know, some of these days." There was much pride, little sense, and a great want of feeling in this speech. Mrs. Finlay's expectations depended upon a kind indulgent father, during whose lifetime tbey could not be realized. Finlay felt it jar upon his heart strings and vibrate to the very core, but he excused it, or set it aside. She is a beautiful, thoughtless cieature, she cannot be unfeeling." lo the country tbey, wena.
well," thought Finlay, I shall have exquisite pleasure in pointing out to my Caroline some favorite scenes, some striking views which may have escaped her notice. we must sometimes make sacrifices to those we love leaving town, after all, was a matter ot little consequence. The boat glided almost with the rapidity of light over smooth, deep Come upon deck, Caroline, we are nearing tbe Highlands, never did tbey look so splendidly." It was the momentary glow ot radiant coloring which a happy heart gives to nature, that at this moment rested so Soriously upon the picturesque High-nds. Come, Mrs. Finlay," said Finlay, carefully wrapping the shawl about the faultless form of his beautiful wife.
Why, George, one would think I had never been up the river before "in my life," said Caroline, who was in the midst of an animated discussion with a fashionable friend, upon the merits of their re spective milliners. "I have seen the Highlands" a thousand times all that romantic stuff is out of fashion quite A Beautiful Little Btory. A few weeks since iu coming down the North river, I was seated in the cabin of the magnificent steamer Isaac Newton, in conversation with some friends. It was coming late in the evening, and one after another seeking repose from the cares and toils of the day, made pre parations to retire to tbetr berths, Some, pulling off their boots and coats, lay themselves down to rest others, in tbe attempt to make it seem as much like home as possible, threw off more of their clothing each oue as their comfort or apprehension of danger dictated. 1 had noticed on deck a fine looking boy, of about six years of age, followin around a man, evidently his father, whose appearance indicated him to be a foreigner, probably a German a man of medium height and respectable dress.
1 he child was unusually fair and fine looking, handsomely featured, with an intelligent and affectionate expression of countenance; and. liom under his Ger man cap, fell chesnut hair, thick cluster tering curls. After walking about for a time the fa ther and son stopped within a few feet of where, we were seated, and began preparations for going to bed. I watch ed them. The father adjusted and ar ranged the bed the child was to occupy, which was an upper bertb, while the little fellow was undressing himself.
Hav ing finished this, his father tied a hand kerchief around his head to protect his curls, which looked as if the sunlight from his young, happy heart always res ted there. Ibis done, 1 looked for him to seek his resting place, but instead of this he quietly kneeled down upon the floor, put his little hands so beautifully child-like and simple, resting bis arms on the lower berth against which he knelt he began his vesper prayer. The father sat down by his and waited the conclusion. It 'was, for a child, a long prayer, but well understood. I could hear the murmuring of bis sweet VALUABLE KNOWLEGDE.
Mr Mi C. Randolph and George Vo gler of this place, have put up a newf kind ot Car or ruck, or something 01 tne sort, which has excited considerable in- terest in our Town, for a few days past.T They intend taking out a patent right for it. It is capable ot transporting, they think, by the power of one horse, more' than two teams of six horses with the common road wagon, However IhU may be, it is very evident on looking at the model, which tbey have made, that a working Car built after the plan, could: sustain all the weight fthat could be; placed upon it. There are no axels to. break; or wheels to crush and we doubt not on a very smooth, hard road, one horse could draw almost a mountain of lead.
We are afraid that on common roads it may not be found lu answer. But as an offset to our fears we must mention tbe confidence of sue. cess of Messrs. Randolph and Vogler, either of them being far more competent- than we to decide the question, vv sincerely trust we are and shall watch the result of a fair experi ment with no little interest. If it should so turn out, why then here is a great thing, which, tor many purposes, is destined to lay road wagons completely in the shade.
Carolina iValchman. A Self-Acting Saw Mill. The St. Louis Republican gives an account of a saw mill constructed on a new and singular principle. The inventer is Mr.
A- mos Jackson, ol rotowaiamie Iowa. The mill drives its power from the weight of the log to be sawed. The ways on which the carriage travels are fixed on bearings that enter, into the frame; the opposite ends are provided -with large segments of a cog-wheel. working into a series of cog-wheels and pinions; thus when the log is pushed forward to the saw, its weight is brought to act with great force through ments of a shaft, having several inter-; mediate gearings' to increase the speed sufficiently for driving the crank shaft. Tbe price of these mills is said to be light compated with others, and they can be attached to wheels for travelling through the country.
To Stain Wood or Ivory. To pro' duce a fine yellow aa wood, use dilluted nitric acid. For red, on wood or ivory, an infusion of Brazil wood in stale urine, in the pro-portion of a lb to a gallon, to be applied boiling hot. Lay it over with alum, wa- ter before it dries. Or, a solution of Dragon's blood, in spirits of wine will answer.
Black. A strong solution of nitric acid for wood or "ivory. Mahogany. Brazil, Mad Jar, and logwood, dissolve in water and applied hot. Ivory may be stained blue, by soaking it, in a solution of verdigris in rA iutii-h will turn it preen, then diD it into a salutionof pearf ash boiling pot-.
