This most ex traordinary power is highly approved of and recommended by all distinguished engineers and machinists, and many other gentlemen competent to judge of its true merits. It is in reality what is claimed for it to be, the very best horse power ever used, either for thrashing, quartz crushing, sawing, turning, pumping, mining or brick-making. It works easier and with less friction than any in use. It is not complicated; every part of it is made strong; its construction is simple, and not liable to get out of order as are other ma chines. I manufacture every part of it at my shop, and should any part of it get out of order by fair usage, I bind myself to replace the damage without charge. J. MORRILL. No. IG, Front street, bet 1 and J.

That thy smile I may never more behold! Did they tell thee I was false, Katy Darling. Or my love for thee had e’er grown cold? Oh they know not 'he loving Of the hearts of Erin's sons. When n love like to thine Katy Darling, Is the gaol to the race that ho runs. Oh, hear me, sweet Katy, For the wild flowers greet mo, Katy Darling And the love birds ore singing on each tree, Wilt thou never more hoar me Katy Darlingt Behold, love, I’m waiting for thee. I’m kneeling by thy grave, Katy Darling! This world is all a blank world to me! Oh, could’st thou hear my wailing Katy Dar ling, Or think love I am sighing for thee; Oh, niethinks the stars are weeping, By their soft and lambent light; And thy heart would be melted Katy Darling, Could’st thou see thy lone Derniot this night. Oh, listen, sweet Katy! For the wild flowers are sleeping Katy Darling, And the love-birds are nestling in each tree; Wilt thou never more hear me, Katy Darling) Or know, love, I’m kneeling by thee! ’Tis useless all my weeping, Katy Darling! But I’ll pmy that thy spirit be my guide; And that when ray life is spent, Katy Darling, They will lay me down to rest by thy side. Oh, a huge great grief I’m bearing. Though 1 scarce can heave a sigh; And I’ll ever lie dreaming, Katy Darling, Of thy love every day till 1 die. Farewell then, sweet Katy! For the wild flowers will blossom, Katy Dar* ling, And the love-birds will warble on each tree; But in Heaven 1 will meet (hec, Katy Darling, For there, love, thou’rt waiting for me! FannyJ Fern after the Women.— Fanny was musing one Sunday after the following style, w Inch she has been can did enough to talk out about. She’s a funny boy! I’ve been rending the Bible to-day, anti it strikes me that our foreinnlhers were rot very correct old ladies. Who flirted with the old serpent? How came Samp son’s hair cm off and bis peepers extin guished? Who perforated Jael’s head with ten-penny nails? How enrne Jonah sent on a whaling voyage? Who helped 1 Ananias to tell fibs? Who put Job up to swearing? Who raised a hurricane in good old Abraham’s house? Who danc ed John the Baptist’s head off his shoul ders, hey? I’d like to have you notice (that’s all) what a stock we all sprung from. If they wern’t tcetotnlly depraved, may 1 never find out which of ’em 1 descended from! They didn’t seem to have 1 lie least consideration for future generations “long since unborn.” Now I didn’t calculate myself, to feel responsible for their capers. I’ve read somewhere in Byron, 1 believe, that every wash-tub must stand on its own pedestal! (or something like that,)* I don’t believe in saddling my shoulders with their old-fashioned transgressions. Curious, though, isn’t it? '1 he mischief women make in the world? Crcut pity Noah hadn’t sent Mrs. Noah adrift when he “took one of each kind in the ark.” 1 should rather have stood rny chance for n ducking than to hove shut up with such a “promiskus” men-agerie, Noah was a worthy old gentleman. No mention made of his getting tipsy but once , I believe. The Babies of Egypt, —W. C Bryant is writing letters from Egypt, for the Evening Fost. The follow ing caught our eye among other good things: “Among them were women in bine cotton gowns, barefooted with infants perrhed on their shoulders. This is the way in which the Arab mothers, of the laboring class in Egypt, carry their chil dren; ns soon as the little creatures get the voluntary use of their limbs, they are transferred from the arms to the shoul ders. i have seen instance of this custom which would supply striking subjects for the pencil. At old Cairo the other day, a Coptic woman, in the loose blue dress of the country, barefooted, her face un veiled, with symmetrical features, silent and sadlooking opened to us the door of the old wormeaten church in which is the little grotto, where the Holy Virgin with her child is said to have eluded the pur suit of Herod. On the woman’s shoul der eni an infant of seven or eight months as silent ns the mother, with well burned brown cheeks, and long, dark eye-lashes, its hear! bowed upon bers, and one little band pressed against her forehead, while the other arm was passed around the back, of the neck. The Egyptian mothers treat their children with great tenderness, and though I see infants everywhere, 1 do not know that 1 have yet heard one of them cry. The expression of quiet resignation in their faces is often quite touching.— The Egyptian, horn to a lot of dirt, po verty and oppression, may well learn pa tience* early.” A curiosity greater than any ever ex hibited hei*e, has just been discovered by a hitherto respectable inhabitant of this borough. Ic is a man that saw the saw that sawed the pine plank that produced the dust by which a friend was enabled to “plank down the duet.” He has beet* caged. NUMBER 47.
