J . AWy. Most like v the proivss of al) the white hot lrs of steel are ,, fe '-L very seized and drawn into rails with a rapidity that bewilders. But it is time for tapping the furnaces, and we hasten belt, with scarcely a look at tlie various piles of rails awaiting shipment.. This is no place for f.he pliiloso phy of the Bessemer process; no place for defcribing all the steps 1-y which crude iron is now so quickly i converted into steel. ( )ur attention is absorbed by .the scenic effort, and that is lieyond the power of words to (loscriiie. Kven ihc pencil of a i Weir would fail to do it justice. ii iri.i ii t i . - ii tiai are inose circular artists driving at over there':'" queries tho subscriber, pointing to a numlier (if men on a raised plattorm, each with his hand on a wheel like that of a car-hrnkc. 7'he superintendent exp'ains how their niovenionts control the almost restless force of the hydraulic, pres ses, and we stand amazed at the magic by which a turn of the wrist is made to manipulate the ponder ous converter, with its charge ot melted metal, as easily as a man might handle a glass of water. A whirlwind of sparks pours from the converter's month and rolls, along the vaulted roof, send ing sudden gusts of lire almost into our faces. The converter comes to rest ami the fiery blast is turned oft". In a moment, streams of molten iron creep along the conduits from row ot furnaces, and pour a flood of scintillating metal into the con verter. The charge complete, the blast is turned on again with aug mented force, and through a hun dred opening, air is forced into the liquid metal, burning out the car lion and sulphur and other liquid impurities, ami sending the dross up In the chimney a coruscating metallic fountain. Our eyes are blinded by the brightness, yet Os cillated by the play of colors that mark the progress of the purifica tion. The prevailing hue is a rose tint of exquisite loveliness, lost iu the dazzling whiteness when we look steadily, but reappearing as often as the eye is rested by looking away for a moment. " We have pure iron now," re marks tlie superintendent, as the flame suddenly ceases. "In a mo ment will be added the compound, which is to change the iron into steel." The converting mixture pours a fiery cascade into the converter, and a magnificent eruption ot many colored scintillations show the in tensity of tho chemical action going on. it ends abruptly, and as the huge retort is canted over to pour its contents into the moulds below, we follow the superintendent's sug gestion, and look in at its shilling mouiii. "You know what whitc-hcat Iooks like now." he eavs and wo i confess that thus far we fetfe twl no adequate conception of its per. feet whiteness. On onr way liaok to our car we stopped to look at the crushing ma chine for pulverising the refractory lining of the converter. ' If you only had jaws like that, subscriber," remarks the little man, " you wouldn't have had to send back the chops they offered you at the hotel the other morning. ' The subscriber watches the ma chine a moment, working his mouth with unconscious envy, as tho blocks of quartette crumbled to sand iu the resistless bite then keeping time with tho machine, lie ejacu lated" With a masticating apparatus-r-liko that a man might tc yes,ir!

Mr. ( l wytui objectwl to the attentions of Mr. uancock, and nvy aratinn were made tn send tho young lady abroad for two years. Two years is an eternity to young lovers, and they determined their happiness should not lie thus destroyed. On the Ifllth of April last the young couple very quietly went lo lefter-ouvllle and were married by Kev. lr. Hutchinson. Alter tlie ceremony I he young lady returned to her father's house, and re mained there until yesterday after noon. The avowed Intention ot the young people was to keep the mar riage a, secret until tlie old folks iie came reconciled to tlie union, when tlie marriage would Ihj made pubic and the young man would claim his bride, lint marriage as well as mur der, will out. Olio of the parties in tlie secret imparted it in confidence to a friend, and that friend did likewise. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Hancock. finding that tlie secret was known, and would in all prolwrbilitv reach the ears I ofhis (itther-fn-law, wrote that gentle- ! man a note giving the full particulars of tiai case. Iiet'oie dispatching tlie note, however, he sent for his wife, and tlie young couple were registered at the Lotilmlle Hotel last night. Louinvillit Leiljfni; June iilli. Piors Spittinii.

How a SPIDER Spins. Few things are more wonderful than the spinning apperatns of tlie spider. On tlie un der side of tlie creature's luxly are placed four or six knobs, each not larger than tlie point of a pin. These are outlets of certain receptacles wltli- iu tlie abdomen, where-the silk i pre pared. When the spider vvii.es to spin a thread, it presses tlie knob or spin neret with one of its legs, ami forth with there Issue from each, not one but a thousand fibers, of such exipiis- itc fineness, that it is only when the f!3S?JMJS!SSSL !ff IIIIIU11 Lllilb UK ' IWTIIIIC TIBIUJV iu UlU I naked eve.

Do you suppose that 7'om de ceived any body, or made any one respect him more on this account' He might make stable boys stare occasionally, but all jieoplo accus tomed to handling money knew at a glance that he was possessed of a very shallow purse and shallow brains. No business man ever desires such a boy about his establishment. No gentleman but would wish his 1mv to shun such an associate. "Straws tell which way the wind blows;" and the way a boy takes care ot his money pretty surely fore tells his future fortune. Successful business men did not carry their money loose in their jackets when they were boys. Thev were prudent of oven thefiennicF. Someone aked Sir. Astor, in his old age, to tell him the secret ofhis success iu making money. "Very willingly," said the ohl gentleman, ".lust draw up your chair, and we will pnt oot tlie lights, as we can talk just as well in the dark." "0,1 see?" said the man. Phe secret is unraveled.
