All the songs of milk maids must now oe listened tor iu the old English poets. The whetting of the mower's scythe 13 almost over quite ove on my farm I Instead of that, one hears the sharp rattle of the mower, and 6ees the driving man quite at his ease riding round and roundthe meadow, for all the wor!d as if he were out airing! Whereas, heretofore, two acres would be coo sidered a large day's work; now, ten and twelve are easily accomplished. .Nor is the Contrast less remarka ble in all the after work. When I was a boy I was placed in line, with all the men that could be mustered, to shake out the hay with forks ; and after: a few hours all hands were called out to go over the ground and turn it. To do this rapidly, and yet bo the bottom side shall really come to the top, was no small knack. Now, a tedder, with one man riding, will literally do the work of ten men, and do it far better than the most ex pert can. Have you ever seen a ted der? I have now a perfect one. The grass rolls up behind it and foams, I wm going to say, like water behind the wheels of a steamer. The grass leaps up and whirls as if it were amazingly tickled with such dealings. (The result is, that unless the grass Ois very heavy, and the weather very bad, you may cut your hay in the morning and get it in to your baru before night in far better condition than it used to be when it required never less than two, and generally a part ot three days to cure it. But 1 have forgotten the horse rake. Instead of the old-fashioned, long -handled rake, and the five or six men pulling "and hauling to get the grass into winrows, that same fellow, with th.U same horse, rides his luxu rious rake, and in a fifth part of the time formerly required, puts it into equally good shape. Indeed, if bay ing has lost its poetry, it has also lost its drudgery, A man can now man age, a hundred acres of grass easier than he formerly could twenty. The only thing that remains- to be made easy is pitching on and of! the load. It is true that horse-forks have been invented, bdt I have never seen any that did their work well; and in my barn, at any rate, . the old work of pitching and mow-ing remains; and if you wish to know what fnn is, get on to the mow, under the slate roof of my barn, on a hot day, and let Tim pitch off hay as he will if I give him the wink, xoa will have to step lively, and even then, you will often be seen emerging from heaps of hay thrown over yon, like a rat from a bunch of oakum. And then it is so pleasant, when a man is all a-sweat, to have his shirt filled with hay seed, each particular particle of which - makes believe that it is a flea, and wiggles and tickles upon every square inch of yonr body, until you are half desperate I .It is the 2d of July, and my grass rs all cut, and the last load is rolling into tha barn while I write. How sweet it smells! IIow jolly the chil dren are that have b-en mounted on the top of the load; and their little scarlet jackets peep out from their nests while Tim stands guard and ; nurse. A child that has not ridden QVp from the meadow to the barn on . a load of hay, has yet to learn of one luxury of exultanfcchildhood. What " care they for jolts, when the whole -load is a vast and multiplex spring? The more the wagon jounces the bet- they like it '. Then come the bars, leading into the lane with the maples , on each side. The limbs reach over and the green leaves kiss the chil dren over and over again. So would I, 10 were a green leaf, and not con . stder myself so green after all. And so the load rolls slowlv un th !-ui There is no such thing as momentum 10 an o. .ue is always at a dead puu ana at me very hardest. But the children like it! The slower, the longer is me riae. let tbem take all the cemfort they can now. By and by they will be grown up, and own firtc carriages and roll in tjje through the streets. Bat there is many a fair face that rides "in a ilk-lined coach, with a sad heart, that would go back if she could, oh 0 Low Rltdly, to her joyous ride oa the Th American Watch Factory at AVu.lt Haiti Massachusetts. That which brings labor and capital to gether benefits both the laborer and the cap italiat. Even in Great Britain where capi tal acts but too ofcen like a huge tvrant, and labor is its slave, as in the colleries and great manufactories, political econamists have still observed this as a fundamental principle. How much more, then, must such an institu tion as the Waltham Watch Factory be re garded as a blessing to the community. Here the most perfect of all machinery, backed by an abundant capital, that sutlers nothing to remain imperfect for the want of ( means to rectify it, and the most experi enced and skillful labor, at wages of from $1 75 to $7 and $3 per day, are combined in the production of watches, all registered so as to run in most perfect time, like chronom eters. So perfect are they that if 'any part whatever 13 broken or injured, a nevr piece can at once be supplied. There are now three of these companies in the United States, but this one at "Waltham 13 the old est, and for the last nine or ten years has been a source of prosperity to the proprie tors, and still more obviously so the seven hundred persons employed in the various departments. The watches thus produced are so superior in uniformity to any that are or can be made by hand, that the time will soon come when we shall cease to im port all but the very cheapest and common est sort made, perhaps for show and sale, but not for sale. Already there is a consid erable demand for them abroad, notwith standing their high price, and we hope the day may not be far distant wheii our city may be able to boast that this manufacture is carried on in addition to all the others in which we now excel. The building forms three sides of a square. It is light, airy, wholesome and beautifully clean and well finished in every one of its twenty -five distinct apartments. 'Water is on every floor, and in almost every room, for drinking and (as well as fifty fire extin cuishers') as a precaution against fire. The C7 ' " building is heated by steam, and in all its appointments nearly perfect. All those employed exhibited a degree of neatness, respectability, and refinement such as is scarcely to be found elsewhere. The main-springs are, we believe, bought in Phil adelphia, and the wire for the hair-springs is brought on the reel from Europe; but ex cept these, everything, including the finest steel tools and machinery, are made on the premises. One complicated machine, for cutting one piece of the hard steel, works in three distinct ways, and cost over a thous and dollars, though invented by one of the workmen in the establishment. The screws used on some parts of these watches are so fine that to the naked eye, the thread is in visible. These are sometimes sold separate Iv to watchmakers. It takes three hundred thousand of them to make a pound, and the iron which at first may have been worth two or three cents, is thus converted into a value of ?4,000. Such is the beauty, perfection and value of skilled manulucturs. Te preparation of the jewels for these watches forms of itself a most interesting depart ment. At first they used to be imported from Europe, where they were made by hand; but now they are all cut, shaped, pol ished and drilled in the establishment and by machinery, far more exactly and 11 11 i for inly than any made elsewhere in the whole world. The sapphire and the beryl are used where the hardest and best stone3 are required. These are first cut with a wheel of tin, into which diamond dust has been forced by the superior hardness of the best steel. This cuts up the stone as marble is sawn. Then chipped round like the old flint arrow-heads ot the Indians, lurtner revolutions, wnn me aid of diamond dust and proper machinery, hollow out a little cup, and polish the whole, of one uniform, exact size. To bore with the point of a diamond the pivot holes, first half the way through on one side, and then from the other side the other halt, till both meet smoothly in the middle and form a microscopic tunnel, through the jewel, in which the pivots may run smootn ana iric- tionless, is the work which the delicate on cers ot only two or three ot the Kins em ployed in the whole establishment, guiacu by the jeweller's glass, can, with all the aid of machinery accomplish with sufficient ex actness. Even then the most accurate tests and measures for ever hole are used, and every thousandth part of an inch is carefully noted against the number ot each watch, in case they should ever want replacing. Twenty thousand of these jewels per month are sometimes used. Brass wheels and steel cogs have all to be cut with a perfection of accuracy which nothing but machinery such as this, "and the most skilled and practiced workers can insure. Most of the finest work seems to be done by females, each devoting her whole time to one process. A single part of the watch will often involve from twenty to seventy of these processes. When it is all doue, the parts are put together, made to run and regulated. After this it is all taken to pieces and the brass is all gold washed by the electrotyping process, and then put together again. But so accurately do all the parts and screws fit, that this last work of putting together seems hardly to take five minutes. An Oregon Jol'rxal. Thousands of let ters are written annually, to parties on the Pacific Coast, asking for information concerning that region. The Oregon Cdy Enterprise, a weekly journal of 32 columns 3 are contemplated was established by D. C. Ireland in 18GG. for the purpose of paying special attention to the resources of Oregon. It is published at Oregon City, a town of 1200 inhabitants, situated on thrt Wallamct river, destined to become a second Lowell, or Lawrence, on account of its natural water power, which is un equalled in America. Is but ten miles from the commercial metropolis of the State (Portland), 3G miles from the State Capital (Salem), and but four miles from Oswego, one of the finest iron regions in the known world.
