mend them.
a. 1t Is truth, which all men OUGHT
to know and realize, that every man
,(those only excepted who are not able to
support themselves in any community
may live within his income, and thereby
preserve his independence. If man is
poor, his taxes are small, unless he holds
an estate which he cannot pay for. In
such case he does not own it, and there
fore ought to let the owner take it.
Industry and economy, will for ever
triumph over hard times and disappoint
poverty. Therefore the general cry,
that we cannot pay the taxes and live, is
absolutely false.
shall conclude with an extract of a
sermon preached by sound divine -
"Ihe scarcity of money is the only
thing that will save this people. This
alone can produce industry and economy,
without which no people can be virtuous
and happy. This is an universal truth,
applicable to all people in every coun.
try. 1t is impossible to be happy with.
out industry, economy, and virtue and
as experience evinces that these are pro.
duced by what we call hard times, or the
scarcity of money, we ought certainly to
be Grandchildren we see the causes OF
public happiness operating. Therefore,
let this circumstance excite in us graft

future prosperity with present scarcity /;
and SO ordering causes and events,
that good shall come out of evil, ne.

ADMIRABLE ORDER,

The following is curious order o.
the day issued by Bonalarte, when first
consul, on the occasion of an act of sui
eide committed by horse grenadier.
Extract from the orderly book of the
horse grenadiers of the consular guard.
Order Qfthe 22d Floreat gear 10.
The grenadier GRoBBIN has destroy
ed himself in consequence of love af-
fair. lie was otherwise respectable
man. This is the second event Of the
kind which has happened in the corps
within month.
The first consul has directed that it
should be inserted in the order of the
day of the guard, that soldier ought to
know how to subdue sorrow and the
agitation of the passions; that there is
as much courage in enduring with firm
ness the pains of the heart as in remain
ing steady under the grape-shot of a bat
terry. To abandon ones self to grief
without resistance, to kill ones self in
order to escape from it, is to fly from the
field of battle before one is conquered.
(Signed) BONAPARTE, lst consul.

Industry and Yirtue.-An industrious
and virtuous education of children is a

IMPROVED PATENT FAN.
FROM THE (BALTImoRE) AMERICAN FARMER,

addressed to tie editor.
SIR--I had the pleasure, on my ar
rival in town this morning, of receiving
your note, requesting description of
my improved fan, for your agricultural
paper, and hasten to comply with the
same.
" The fan is double blasted after the
wheat passes through the upper blast,
and upper riddle, NEARLY as in the old
method) it descends again into second
riddle and second blast, unconnected
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1819-06-05

with the first; it thenruns into the sitting
range, through which it passes into a
| fine sieve, which lets all small seeds,
&c. out underneath. The clean wheat
runs out in front, while the sifting-range
separates the garlic and every thing
larger than wheat, and throws it out at
one side of the fan. The two riddles,
| sitting range, and sieve, are kept in mo-
ton by means of a crank on the end of
the axle-tree, and the whole machinery
put in motion by simply turning the
handle of the fan, which is much easier
than any other now in use. For large
establishments, the dimensions Of the
fan can be increased, and also the force
of air."
In the above description have to
apologize for the want oftechnical accu-
racy; not having my patent with me in
town, it is not SO perfectly described as |
could wish; but those who may want
fans of this description, will, no doubt,
be better satisfied by seeing one in opera
ton.
OCS ACstfC W lIdts lfOll 1CDClt-
ed experiments made with the small fan,
now exhibited as model, on Bowley's
wharf, thirty bushels of wheat can be
cleaned from the chaf' every hour, and
the power of the machine can be aug
1nented to suit the wish of purchasers.
In the cleaning of barley, oats, &c. the
sitting range used for wheat is drawn
out, and the wheat riddles changed for
coarser ones which go with the fans.
Flax seed and clover seed are cleaned
the same as wheat.
Brought up by practical farmer, I
have had to lament, in common with
others, the difficulty of separating garlic
and other injurious seeds from wheat,
and the incompetency Of the machines,
which | had an opportunity of trying,
to effect that object. This led me to
reflection and experiment, to find re-
medy, and the ImhroUed Patent Fan,
which few days ago | offered to the
notice Of the farmers & millers, through
the medium of the newspapers, is the
result of my labors; and l flattcr my
self that it will be found, on impartial
examination and trial, to be an impor-
tant acquisition to the agricultural and
milling interest.
The mere act of "cha6ing" can be
performed by zvinno7ving, the mode
practised by our ancestors long before
the invention of fans, and still in use by
the great majority of the farmers of
every country, but the separation of gar
lie and other noXious seeds from wheat,
at the time of chatting, was the object
had in view; if l have succeeded in
this, Gas | confidently believe have) |
have no doubt but generous and en-
lightened public will patronize my ef-
forts.
The gentlemen, members of the agri-
cultural society of Mary are re-
specially invited to examine and prove
my fan, and their patronage is solicited
in proportion to its utility.

Very respectfully, /
Your obedient servant, |

=" THE BELT SAW"
FROM THE SAME.

FROM THE SAME.
The saw without an end-Of.M Tomowse.
This machine is principally compos-
ed OF blade plate of saw, where the
two ends are united; or rather, it is
without end 1t embraces two circular
surfaces (hiateaur) turning upon their
axes, and placed at distance, greater
or less, according to the length of the
saw.
These surfaces are mounted upon a
frame in such manner, that in giving
them rotary motion, in the same direc-
ton, the saw plate is made to cut the
wood, which is fixed upon carriage in
the ordinary manner.
A weight, proportional to the hard
ness and thickness Of the wood to be cut,
causes that to advance against the part
of the saw, which forms a right line
tangent to the two surfaces that it en-
braces, and which causes it to circulate
by the friction.
The circular saw cuts the wood with
out interruption, as long as the surfaces,
which serve as movers, are made to
turn. 1t performs, according to M.
Iouroude, more work than an ordinary
saw, which cuts only in descending, and
ought not to be confounded with the cir
cular saw called .fraiSes.
M. 1ouroude has erected, ION the prin-
ciple of the belt saw, mill to cut zcood
aftera certain measure, which answered
advantageously for cutting the thread

but it can be usefully employed, in a

and to give rise to a combination of new
