If some financial Solomon,

Don't tell us what is to be done
To some up cash,
We all, perlfurce, must cut and run.

And no “ short shinner” feared rebuff,
Who sued for pelf;
Sure to hear “ flush,” or “quanfctmsufi'.—-
Friend, help yourself!”
And confidence was like the air-
Above, around and everywhere ;
And no one took a thought or cure

But more inane.

And Wall st:-eet‘s bravest of the brave,

Wilt thou not waken, Bride of May,

Listen and learn from my roumlelay '
How all life-‘,9. pilot boats sailed one day
A match with Time?
Love sat on a lotus-leafafloat,
And saw olal Time in his loaded boat ;
Slowly he crosshl life-‘s narrow tide ;-—
‘Whilc Love .-at cln pping his wings, and cried,
“Who will pass ’l‘ime.‘““
Patience came first, but soon was gone
With helm and sail to keep Time on ',
(‘are and Grief could not lend an car,
And Pnidence said, while he stay’d on shore,
“I wait for Time !"
Hope filled with flowers her cork-tree bark,
And lighted its helm with n glow—wonn spark ;
Then Love, when he saw her hmk fly fast,
Soid “ Lingering Time will soon he past !
Hope outspceds Time "’
Wit went next old Time to pass,
With his diamond car and boat of glass ;
A feathery dart from his store he drew,
And shouted while far and swift it flew-
“ 0, Mirth kills Time!”
But time sent the feathery arrow back-
]-lopr-’s bank of amarnnths lost its track ;
Tllcu Love made his butterfly pilots move,
And laughiu,-.,r, -aid, “ They shall sec how love
(‘an conquer Time.”

But Time has wings when Time has need ;

MISCELLANY.
33“ If uobler sentiments than the fol-
lowing, which were uttered by Daniel
lV(-bster, ever fell from humam lips, we
have yet to see them. They are indeed
pearls of the rarest value, which should
be cherished in the very heart. of -hearts
by every oue——
“ It is only shallow-minded pretenders
who make either. distinguished origin a
matter of personal merit, or obscure orig-
in a matter of personal reproach. A
man who is not ashamed of himself need
not be ashamed of his early condition.
It did happen to me to be born in a log
cabin, raised among the snow drifts of
New Hampshire, at a period so early
that when the smoke first rose from
its rude chimney, and curled over the
frozen hills, there was no similiar evi-
dence of a white mans habitation between
it and the settlements on the rivers of
Canada. Its remains still exist ;-I make
it an annual visit. I carry my children
to it, and teach them the hardships eu-
durcd by the generation before them.—
I love to dwell on the tender recollec-
tions, the kindred ties, the earthly affec-
tion, and the uarratious and incidents
which mingle with all I know of this
primitive family abode ; I weep to think
that none of those who inhabited it are
now among the living, and if I ever fail
in affectionate veucration for him who
raised it and defended it against savage
violence and ;(lestructiou, cherished all
domestic comforts beneath its roof, and
through the fire and blood of seven years
revolutionary war, shrunk from no toil,
no sacrifice to serve his country, and to
raise his children to a condition better
than his own, may ‘my name and the
name of my posterity ho blotted from the
memory of mankind.”

All! kind friends, have you forgotten
where last week we were, and for what
purpose? in what city of ingenuity we
were travelling, side by- side, and step
after step? in what depnrttneut. of that
vast combination we were studying, as
became mortals of a high and a higher
him? One week! one short heaving of
rigid ’l‘ime’s breath, may have, on Fate's
cycle, det-enuiucd the sad hour of fiunl
recall from the journey of life for some
that were smiling with all the innocence
of youth and virtue, and revelling ’ueath

and rivet upon us the aclznéwledgmeut
that man is but clay, while the falling
fragments of other worlds force home the
truth, God is power.
The summer’s richest flowers and bean-
ties are gone. Naturc’s abundance is
sham, and, as a lamb, she is mute in de-
jection, to the excitement of the heart’s
warmest sympathies. L The tender, vir-
tuous lily of the vale, and the ostentatious
tulip, where are they ? and e’eu the boost-
ful miguouctte calls for our timely and
unremitting aid ! And we “are going.
The bright autumnal sun may have, with
dismal pomp, risen twice, thrice, 0’er par-
green meadows, smiling still ere the frosts
of death did permea.t.e their marrow.
Aye! four and five times may that sun,
by its lingering cheer, have revived within
the departed a dormant life to joyfuluess;
but on the .s'ia‘tl1., whcre—oh! where-
siuks that sweet-toned laugh? where
springs that well of parental grief?
where issues that cold, December-like
(lirge? where ascends that slow, thrilling
prayer—but from the tomb of one that
was beloved? Let us honestly enjoy life.
The admission that in existence we are in
death offers no drawback, however slight,
to an arduous path of duty, or a splendid
fame in knowledge, or the humbler walks
of conscientious duty. But let us prof
ceed with our legitimate business, which,
till now, aside from the power of inocu-
does, has been lost to view. .
We next come to a planing-machine,-
pateutecl Feb. 22, 1856, by Mr. C. H.
Dennison, of Green River, _ Vt. This
machine is for the smoothing of boards
of various widths and lengths, and gives
precedence to but one other of its class-—
a newer invention, which ‘planes both
sides and edges of a board, and tongues
and grooves at the some time. The main
features, and the attractive causes of
notice here, are—first, the great perfect-
ubility of the \vork done, and the small
outlay of power required; second, a cir-
cular table of iron, which, when the ma-
chine is in motion, becomes a rotary, the
advantage of which is obvious in its tend-
ency to ease the passage of the board or
plank past the knives, and the annihila-
tion of that swinging or flapping motion
so apparent in other machines.
In the centre of the table, in diameter
about three feet, is a hole or open space,
at all points cqui-distant from, and paral-
lel to, the periphery, in which the cogs
and machinery are located, ready for the
adjustment of power—steam. This ar-
rangement is one worthy of remark, from
the fact that. the whole machinery is
directly under the supervision of the
operator, and that, at a glance, any cause
of stoppage or disarraugemcut from splin-
ters, &c., may be seen at once, and the
difiiculty repaired without an ordinary
loss of time. Directly across, and divided
by the opening for the cogs, &c., lie, on
cylinders, the knives, of length equal to
the table’s width, that perform the work.
Hence, we have a double-cylinder rotary
planing machine. The advantage accru-
ing from the double-cylinder is, if one set
of knives become gappcd or cracked, or
is otherwise rendered unfit, the other is
not impaired, and the damage lies in that
one alone, which may be replaced by an-
other without loss of time, or the oper-
ator's temper. One side first is planned,
and a single artisan crosses directly to
the oppositcside of the table, and invert-
ing the board, gives it to the systematic
shavings of the other set. This machine
is one of the most simple, and at all times
easily controlled, that could well be ima-
gined, and no doubt is destined to be ex-
tensively aud favorab_ly used. Success to
the Green Mountain boy (man)!
The machine which, Yankee fashion,
did all parts at once, we had not the
pleasure of seeing in operation, though
we made repeated efforts so to do. It
certainly is a chef zlhmrre of labor saving
machinery. We heard it was a great‘
miller, both in accomplishment and noise.
Following in our proposed track, is a
spoke-machine, for the manufacture of
carriage spokes, cart-rungs, &c., patented
by A. Laudpherc, and owned jointly by
Landplxere & Remington, of Eric, Pa.
Of all machines designed to supersede
manual labor in every ifepartmeut of car-
pentcriug, this is, perhaps, the most inge-
nious. The public have heard of ma-
chines,-into which put the hide of an ox,
and while one is wondering at the result,
a perfect boot of desired shape and size
is turned out, but that is 9. myth, yet the
spoke machine before us is, if I may use
the word, its brotlu-r in point of result,
, 1857.
though holding no affinity in point of
hnmbug. The machinery is fixed upon a
3l!l.‘l‘!)llII!ci,
stnmlard or frzunewolk of joists, similar
in construction to the bench of a grind‘
stone, and has two sets of acute angular
knives, revolving on as many shafts, while
each particular blade is so arranged as
to perform but its own portion of the
work. From the iron hub in which the
knives are fastened, they project straight
like the arms of a water-wheel, and at
given distances each and all bend in an
acute angle downwards. Their edges
are filed or sharpened to the size or ca-
pacity of the portion of the spoke intend-
ed. These knives are fixed on the inner
end of their shafts, towards the centre of
the table or -bed, which may be said to
bear comparison to a miuiatIt"e slide-way
of a saw mill, and operates in the some
manner.
The hickory of the toughest seasoning,
and bearing the roughest edges, when
laid upon a plate on the table made for
its reception, and made to adhere thereto
by means of a spring, and further held by
a pivot at the upper end auda liand-scre'w
at the lower or nearest, is ready for opci"
atiou. A hand-lever is moved, and away
it goes! the material no longer the rough-
est bit of wood ever picked out of a pile,
but in a trice it «rem-ms, a spoke as per-
fect and symmetrical as ever received the
fiuest varnish, and as smooth as sand-paper
ever grated upon. \Vould we could give
a more just idea of this great production
of inventive genius. The gentleman who
was attending the movements of the ma-
chine when we were present, looked like
one of the primitive keen-braiued Yankees
who are indigenous to the North ; but
withal, opposite to laconic, was of a most
agreeable nature, and evinced great de-
light at an opportunity of extolling the
merits of his apparatus.
Man is ambitious, and envy mixes
largely in his ‘nature. As we looked at
the working and production of that ma-
chine, we thought of the sublimity of-
Reoson in its higher flights, and consider-
ed how happy we might he did we possess
but a tithe of that which others disclose.
The child, in his first efforts, is rapt.
in ecstasy at his simple construction of a
cart from his mother’s useless spools,
though on no new principle—or of it
water-wheel, though borrowed from some
gigantic foam-inducing model, round
which the ceaseless complaints of river-
uymphs do circle; and shall we wonder
that man feels satisfaction at his construc-
tion of that which seems beyond the reach
of improvement, and answers his most
exacting expectations? The machine will
complete and dress’ (finely) from 60 to
100 spokes in an hour. Perhaps our
city——aye! cou-ntry belles, think it sacri-
lege to use the word dress so. Neverthe-
less, Mr. Editor, stick to it as rigid, and
point out the moral, if they besiege you.
We now take to the water, somewhat
after the wont of the beaver, for conve-
nience or profit, as the result is best able
to show. A grand ship, with sails set
and under weigh, is a. sight worthy to
attract the senses, and a well designed
pump can do no less. Though not equal
in magnitude, the smaller will design its
measure olfsatisfaction, and awaken its
particular interest. The suction and force
pump of Messrs. Dodge arrested our at-
teutiou—first, from its great simplicity;
and second, from the perfect ease with
wluch it is worked. This hand pump is
a valuable agent in the farm-yard or in
the kitchen, and consists of an upright
chamber, or elongated globe, and the
whole is on the principle of the hydraulic
ram. Au upright lever, worked to and
fro by the hand, embodies the power by
which the air in the chamber is exhausted,
and the valves are made to act upon the
water, when a steady stream is thrown
which fills a pull in 15 seconds. We took
pleasure in timing its performance, for it
seemed so complete and worthy of notice.
Many a machine of more brain-taxing
construction have we seen, which, in per-
formance, did not approach this. Suction
is not a new principle, but it is one pro-
lific of fine results. The ,Palacc——more
particularly the engine-room—is, or would
be, inundated by pumps of every shape
and description, many, indeed, absolutely
worthless. We noticed an anti-friction
pump, which discharges a larger quantity
of water than any other coutrivnnce we
‘ever saw, and in such an incessant flow,
and so strong, that the power of its tide
would drive a large mill-wheel. Au aper-
ture of three inches will emit 1,000 ‘gal-
lons in an hour; or a pump throwing
3,000 gallons would relieve a wreck with
300,000 gallons of water in her hold in
4 days. Oh ! had the ill-starred Central
America possessed such as these in her
hour of peril, the appnliug intelligence,
“The pumps are unfit for use!” would
never have proved the opening of the
graves for two hundred and fifty precious
souls ; or had the noble Arctic been fur-
nished withthese devourers of the sen,
she might now have graced our beautiful
bay, and sported as. the pride of our mer-
chant fleet. Yours truly,
Uassvrs Bcsr.

Although tales from real life are usual-
ly considered too tame and insipid for
those whose element is the airy regions of
romance, yet it sometimes happens that
the actual occurrence of this fashionable
world, if embodied and described in the
rich and glowing language of our living
masters of fiction, would be considered
too improbable and wonderful to be true,
without drawing upon the imagination
for additional facts by way of embellish-
ment. Such we believe, would be the
case with respect to the following,narra-
tive, were the vvritiug of it not confided
to a pen winch seldom aspires to bolder
flights than are called for in the discharge
of the dull and monotonous labors inci-
dent to the publication of a daily news-
paper. .
hi’ and B were friends. Their
friendship commenced in boyhood-—the
season in which are sown in the uncon-
scious and susceptible bosom seeds which
spriugj into vivid impressions in youth,
and ripen into stronger feelings in after
life. As they grew up to manhood, the
bent of their inclinations was widely (lif-
fereut, though their common feelings of
attacluuent grow with their growth, and
strengthened with their strength. Our
couutry had drawn the sword toviudicatc
our national rights, and avenge‘ her
wrongs ; and while the exhilarating notes
of the life, and the wild blasts, of the
bugle, fell on the ear of M like music
—-—while his bosom swelled with enthusi-
asm his mind dwelt on martial employ-
ments,'aud he longed to participate in the
the glories acquired by the soldier, in
showing’ how fields are won, the other
preferred to travel the smoother road of
domestic and civil life. Through the in-
fluence of friends, M obtained acom-
mission in the army, and was ordered up-
on the recruitiug service in the interior.
There was a simplicity, and confidence of
mutual affection which marked this first
separation, and which young and ingenu-
ous minds cfiu only appreciate. -They had
heard of false friends ; and supposed that
such might exist. But such was their
confidence in each other, that the remot-
est suspicion of treachery never darted
across the mind of either. They felt as
secure as the marine when safely moored,
who listens with pleasurein his hammock
to the din of the eleiiieiitl, and the dash
of’ the waves without. With the ardor
of youthful imaginations they drew glow-
pictures of the future, and rejoiced in the
anticipated advancement and prosperity
of each other. Or if perchance. an idea
of the waywarduess of fate or fortune .for
a moment awakened an unpleasant sensu-
tiou in the bosom of one, it. was speedily
dissipated by the assurn uce of relief from
the other. Protestatious of friendship
were neither reiterated nor multiplied;
there was a mutual confidence that their
bosoms beat in unison ; and an indescrib-
able feeling of regret came over them, as
they grasped each others hands, when
M stepped on board the steam boat,
and with faltering voices, they pronounc-
ed the word “fare-well.” At this moment
with what indignation would either have
received and resented the lest suspicion
of his fidelity to his.friend. And could a
being endowed with a knowledge of things
to come, have predicted in the bearing of
either, what would be his future. course to-
wards his bosom friend, with the same
ignorance of his own heart he would prob-
ably have exclaimed with Hamel, “"is thy
servant a dog that he should do this
thing.” .

glowing attachment of that tender de-
young soldier. Though a. native of this
tranquil valley, yet her education had not
