These vary, ot course, according to the circumstances under which they are required. On the North Sea coast, where they are built to withstand tides rising ten feet beyond their average, and lashed by storms, the3' constitute a work of stupendous magnitude and cost. In the case of a judder of a few acres, they may be the work of a single man. Occasionally in their construction serious engineering difficulties are presented; especially is this the case where the dike is to be con structed in the water. Here the two sides of the foundation, which most reach from the solid earth to the surface of the water, are made by sinking great rafts of fascines made of willow osiers, often from 1C0 to 150 yard6 square, strongly secured together, and making a compact mass. These are floated over the place they are intended occupy, where they are guided by poles sunk in the bottom, and are loaded with stones or with earth until they sink. Upon this first, a second and smaller one, and often a third, and even a fourth, always de creasing in size, are placed in turn. The space between the two walls is filled with solid earth, and on the top of this secure foundation the dike is built If the dike is to remain cxpesed to moving water, it must be further protected by the jetties, or by mason-work, or by wattles placed upon its slope, or by rows of piles, basket-work of straw or rushes, or sometimes by brick walls. Col. Geo. E. Waring, in Scribner for May. Suitable Herse Stuck. Every farmer suffers constantly in his interests, if he has stock oa bis farm which is not exactly adapted to his wants. This applies to every kind of stock kept, though with especial force to the more important classes, vii, cat tle, horses and swine. The success of the farmer depends so much upon the power employed to put in, harvest, ud move bis crops, that he 6hould recognize the horse-power upon his farm Ly the shortest process, whee not already exactly Buited tohiswaats.

Wmimm Am JtmmmU THE MneMkMHTTg OF BALLY BAKE. AuIrtAtltmrrmlMmiJMm. The best "holding' of land on the BallybaBe property was that of old Dar by MacDermotL His crops were always first sowed, and first home; bis haggard, the neatest and best thatched; his fences is the best coadition, aad his house the snuggest in the village. Darby was never a day behind hand with his rest. The 1st of May and the 1st or November found him, wet or dry, good season or bad season, at the office with his old worsted stocking, in the corner ot which his half year's rent lay safely counted. He was a decent eld ssaifwbo always minded his business, and attended to his duties, and bad few troubles in the course of his three score and ten years. He had two sons: Martin, the eldest, a dark, handsome man, with a square, heavy face, and a pair of dark, restless, glittering eyes a man whom every one respected, but very few liked; and Owen, a fair, curley-haiied, delicate boy, who had been his mother's darling. Old Darby was fond of both his sons, but the sturdy, healthy Martin was decidedly his favorite, and when he died it was found that the greater part of his savings went to his firet born. Owen was not cither of a jealous or envious disposition; still, he sometimes thought it rather hard that his brother should have all the luck. Martin was strong and healthy and handsome, had been his father's favorite, and was mas ter of the farm alter his death. All the stock and crops, and everything, was the property of Martin; and Owen was the possessor of but fifty pounds. Forty years ago two hundred pounds in ready money was considered a fortune, aad even fifty poundB was not by any meaas to be despised; aud when old Darby MacDermott left his boys so well off, there were lew men in Ballybane who did not envy them Martin especially, who was looked up to by his neighbors as little short of a gentleman, certainly as a man who might keep his jauattag car it he chose. But the possession ot money made no change in the new ten ant of the Upland Farm, as the Mac Dermott's holding was called. He just worked as hard as ever, getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning, and going to bed late. Owen lived with him, and worked, too, juBt as usual, only that during his father's time he might spend his eve nings reading old newspapers, or writing letters to bis acquaintances who had gone to America. But Martin thought such occupations mere waste ot time, and when the day's work was ended, and the supper over, he ordered the fire and the lights to be put out. The next farm to that ot Martin Mac Dermott's on one side was held by Mich ael O 'Byrne, a farmer who had beea well to do once, but misfortunes of late years had come thickly on him, aad he had hard work to keep the farm together. On the other side, a small holding of about fifteen acres was held by a good-for-nothing old fellow named Patrick Heveran, who was little better than a nuisance to the entire neighborhood. However, one morning he was found dead in his bed; and Owen MacDermott, without taking counsel of any one, went to the agent, and asked if he might have the vacant farm, as he wished to settle down on his own account. The agent promised, and full of hope and joy, Owen went about his work. The next day was the 17th ot March.'st, Patrick's Day, and a general holiday; and early is the morning Owen dressed himself in his Sunday suit and went out. A little way down the road he met a young girl, also dressed ia her beat a crimson stuff dress, a gay shawl, and a cross of ribbon of all the colors in the rainbow on her shoulder. Her fair hair was twisted carelessly round her head, and her soft blue eyes had a startled look in them. "Oh, Ownie, avoumeen, I was afeard you weren't comin; aadsare, sorra a bit of shamrock you have in your blessed cap this mornln.' Why k that, dear?" "I was ia a harry to see you, my dar lin',"he answered, looking tenderly into the sweet, shy lace "Julia, I hare good aews lor yoa this moriiia' let as walk down the laae, and I'll tell yoa, and look for my shamrock at the same time." Together they turned down a laae, or rather foot path, bordered oaoae aide by a thick black-thorn hedge, aad a broad meadow oa the other.

They went into the tent together and af ter an hour's chat came out, more good tempered and confidential than ever, and sought Julia and Owen. "Come here, my eoPccn," O'Byrne said, in a rather thick voite. "I have made a mutch for you with Martin. Go over and bit bv the hide of 'him. "With Murtiu, father," the girl said looking uith dismay at the stern dark man she almost hateti, and- certainly -feared. "With Ownie you mean." "Sorra a bit of it, Julia; but Martin Martin the muster. Poor 0nie has nothing. "He's promised the Hcvurau's .farm, father." "No, my dear; its me that has Hever ans hculdin', and I took my oath te marry Julia O'Byrne. I told it to her father half an hour ago." "Tou mean to say you are going be tween me and the colleen that I have loved since she was up to my knee ! You mean to say yoa are going between me and these few dirty acres of Hever an 'a that I axed first, and bespoke; be tween your only brother and all the hopes of peace he has in this world you that has full and plenty, Martin MacDermott!" "I'm goin' to marry Julia," Martin re plied with sullen determination. "Julia, what do you say?" Owen asked, "turning to the girl, who stood silently weeping. Ml must answer for her," O'Byrne said. "I promised her to Martin, and I'm not goin' bank on my word, I can tell you. What have you to show? now do you mean to keep her?" "What do you say, Julia?" "I wish to stick to you, Ownie, and never marry any one else never, never, as I hopo for luck!" "God bless you for them words, dar lin' 1 Only be true and faithful, and I'll soon have a cabin for you somewhere." "Julia!" said her father, raising his hands to heaven, "if you ever marry that boy, ever spake to him, ever think of him, I'll curse you on my bare knees! You don't know what a father's curse is! Don't bring it on my child, if yqu love her. Never come across her again, Ownie MacDermott!" "You hear that, Julia. What am I to do, Owen asks. "Go away, and never come near me again, or he'll curse me, Ownie. Go away." Owen MacDermott stood perfectly still for a few minutes, and then, raising his eyes to heaven, and with the impetuosity of a young Irishman, called down a bit ter curse on his only brother: "May you never be happier than lam now, sleeping or waking! May everything you put your hands to turn to dust and ashes! May your children live to hate and dis honor you, Martin MacDermott!" And with one long look at the trembling Julia, Owen rapidly passed out into the cold darkness of the March evening, and was seen no more ia Castlegar. TeB pounds of the money left him by his father be took, the remainder lay is the bank. But which side he went, or what became of him, no one ever knew. A year passed away, aad thca Michael O'Byrae died; aad Julia, from sheer iaa bility to resist any longer, became the wife of Martin MacDermott, though she feared the very sound of his vice aad trembled at his touch. He was a tyraat, bat she scarcely heeded that, for she had so will, and no wish to do anything bat what he bade her. She had children, but oae after another they sickened aad died, asd things ia geseral began to go wrosg with Martin, his shabby churlish Bess making him generally disliked.

All of his wretched schemes had turned out badly. Tncy bad aot is them the ring oi a straight forward aad hosest man. Above all, the trouble asd discrace of his son Darby completely broke him down, aad he took to his bed, only wishing and wanting to die. "It's the carse, it's Ownie' curse," he woald mourn for hours, as he lay aloae, without a soul to hand him even a drisk of water. "Sure, 1 might have m&Z-3t&Zr " At leagth the climax of Martin Mac- Dermott's sufferings was reached, the measure ot his punishment filled up. For three years he had not paid a dix pence of rent, he was dispossessed, turned out of the house in which he was born, and his father and grandfather before him, to die by the way left home less and friendless by the roudtide on a dreary November morning. Itcmembering his unkiudneis to an only brother, his harshness to his poor, timid, patient wife, his 'blind indul gence ot his sou in the face of patent facts, his total neglect of his only daugh ter, and his mean, scheming character, there were few to pity Martin MacDcr mott in his trouble; and so he was taken to the workhouse, his house knocked down, and not a trace left of whut hud been a happy homestead. And Owen, when he left the tent that ever memorable St. Patrick's night, it was wi'Ji the resolve of going away for ever anywhere, so that he was far from the placo which had suddenly become hateful to him. He walked all night, and at the break of day found himself just outslde-of the town of Ballmusloe. There he had some breakfast, und at the inn lie cntcrsd into conversation with some men who were going to England with cattle, and were in antof a drover. Owen offered his services, ami, as he ap peared a quiet, resectiible youug man, they were accepted at once. They reached Dublin in three days, nnd then started for Liverpool, where Owen said good bye to the cattle jobbers, and tcok a passage to America in the Golden Cross. On board he made himself sc useful and agreeable to the Captain, that he gave him a recommendation to a mer chant in New York, who took him into his office. For five years Owen worked patiently and steady, and then his master promoted him to be a clerk; and so on from step to step, his patient, hosest in dustry raised him, till he became a part ner in one ol 'the first firms in the great city. Then, when he paused to consider that he was rich and independent, and a gentleman, came home longings. The Upland Farm, the land where he last walked with Julia, the quiet little mar ket town all used to come before him as he sat in his grand, lonely house, and at lost he resolved to pay his native place a visit. He arrived at Gort late on the after noon of the 16th of March, and deter mined to remain quiet till the next day, when he ielt pretty jure of meeting his brother Martin. It was just thirty yeare since Owen left his native place, and there were fewer changes in the dull little country town than he anticipated far fewer changes than there were in himself. ButJwhcn St. Patrick's Day dawsed clear and frosty, be could not rest, and started early in the well-remembered direction ol the Upland Fans. How his heart beat ss he drew near the old cabin, weather-stained and desolate, which bad been the home of Julia, and how it stood still as he reached the level field of oats which was fust coming over ground where his father's house stood! Faist asd sick, he entered the first cabin he came to, and asked for a drink of water. A wretched old wamaa, seeing how white he looked, asked him to take a stool, which he. did, SBd after a few misaUs stkace, he began to ask some questions about the place. A young girl with a face that would have bees pretty bat for its- sulky expression, and a asaatiry of fair hair Bgligently baag isg over her shoalders, looked up from a heap of lax she was carding, and ex amiaed the stranger atteatxvely, as he asked the old womaa what bad tecome of the MacDarmotts.

For 3 ears the world of Garibaldi's ad mirers had wondered at the crvcrsity with which he courted the barren ol rcurity ot his farm at Caprera, but he certainly has not added to his reputa tion for practical sagacity by the pro ject into which he has thrown all his old zeal, and his own disregard for the consequences now that he hai left his self imposed seclusion. It Is not singu lar thut his romantic brain Bhnuld have taken up the plan of changing the coure of the Tiler, for he could not live with out a purpose; but it is somewhat singu lar that the prestige of his name should have sufficed to exci te a irapular enthu siasm over a matter which docs not come within the domain of enthusiasm, but depends upon sober questions of hydrographical engineering. If ho had announced himself as the advocate of a new revision of the Greek Testament he would hardly have been looked on as the proper and natural head of the re vising bodysnd yet we are quite sure that Garibaldi knows quite as much about the Greek Text of the Scriptures us he docs about the course of the Tiler. This turbid river invites attention un der two aspects which prompt the de sire to change its course. It has an ug ly habit of going back on it friends, who dwell in the low lying quarters of Iiomc, and has brought terror aad threatened ruin f roih the days of Horace when it laid low the temple of Vesta, to the days of the Vatican Council, whea it punished the impiety of the annexa tion by compelling the anwilling Ro mans to paddle about the streets is boats. Beside the fact of the overflows runs the tradition of the wealth of geld nnd silver and precious relics, treasures of art and wonders of all kinds that have been dropped overboard, washed down by sewers, thrown away in panics and invasions, and in many ways hare found their last resting place under the tawny waves. To confirm these tradi tions,now and then statues and blocks of marble have been grappled and brought to the surface, and it is reasonable to as sert that if but the tithe of the treasures that the rircr.now hides could be brought to light, the world'B richest maseams would look poor and tame beside, the rich results of this one quest. No words can cosrey as idea of the wealth which was heaped up in the im perial city, nor of the derastatioa which has swept it away.
