WESTERN
PRINTING-PRESS.

~ r. beg leave TO present to the notice
w Of our brethren Of the type, in the
western couHtry, the newly invented
Printing Press of Mr.. Charles Artz:. This
ingenious piece of mechanism, is now in
successful operation at the Office of Eich-
baum and Johnston, in this city. 1t is on
the principle OF the teuer, and is, what is
termed single pull press.
Having carefully examined its construc-
ton and operation, we are enabled to give
the following description of its character
istc features and distinguishing proper
ties:
|. |. 1t is powerful-because the main le-
yer is of such nature, as to increase in
power, to an unlimited degree. as it pro-
ceeds in movement. Experiment has
shown the power to full conviction, by
the breaking of very strong and sound
bar of cast iron, without extraordinary
pulling.
9. II is simple-because there is but
one main lever, which at one end acts by
an intermediate beam upon the ptatln,
and at the other end is connected by a
rod, with the main axis, from which all
the movements proceed.
8 It's speedy-becaus there is but
one pull, and that pull is by the most con-
venient position of the bar, rendered so
easy, !ha: a token may be worked, with.
out unusual effort. in about one-fourth OF
the time less than on a common press.
4. One great advantage which this press
has over most of the other single pull
presses, is that it is less complicated in its
machinery, and therefore is more easily
kept in repair, and less liable to inj ury
from constant use.
5. 1t admits of most perfect and easy
adjustment of the platin to the stone, by
means of globe joint, on which the CEN
tire of the plain is suspended to the slid
ing bar,
6. 1t admits of an equally easy regula-
ton of the pull, which is heightened or
shortened by simple continuance in the
connecting rod between the main lever
and the main axis.
7. The bar, having an upright position,
and a pendulsr motion, affords, (as has
been mentioned already more ease to the
workman in pulling, than any press known
to us.
Lastly, the iudicious combination Of
cast and wrought iron, and wood, by rem
dering this press equal in solidity and
streng tb, with those which are composed
entirely from metal, adds convenience for
transportation to cheapness in first cost. =
1t will be furnished at from hundred and
eighty to two hundred and ten dollars, ac-
cording to the size required whereas the
price of other lever presses is from three
to FIVE hundred dollars.
We feel therefore no hesitation in pro-
nouncing this press OF Mr.. Arlzt's, in no
point of comparison inferior to those OF
Clymer and others Of which we have any
knowledge, but rather in some points evil
IDENTIFY superior to them; and while we
thus sincerely congratulate the fraternity,
upon this accession to the means of advaH-
cling the excelency of our art. we at the
same time recommend the Western Lever
Printing Press to their notice, as deser-
wing object of patronage.

When the bright ming scenes around thee,
Had Just open'd upon thy view
Then. the final summons found thee,
To bid them all adieu.
AS the day of thy short probation,
Drew onward to It's close, .a
The quiet of resignation,
Within thy mind arose;
At the order and will of Heaven
Thy wishes and hopes were laid;
And He who thy spirit had given,
To its home that mild spirit conveyed,
There are eyes that are red with weeping;
There are hearts that are aching for thee;
While in a Tar land thou art sleeping,
From trouble and frailty free.
Yes many in sad retrospection,
Whilst year after Year Ger them rolls,
win keep with fond recollection,
Thy ''memory green in their souls"
And she, unto whom thou art dearcr
Than aught in this world beside,
Who hoped coming days would cheer her,
When with thee she became bride:
Oh! how are those hopes all broken,
AID hid in the depths of night,
For the word of the spoiler is spoken
And thy spirit has taken its flight
Like the bird in her shady bower,
The mild and plaintive dove,
In the sad and the cheerful hour,
She reposed in the light of thy love:
But where shall the bird fix her station, s
When the storms have her bower DER.

And where shall ste find consolation,
When left to lament alones;
D! Thou! who In love wilt gather,
The lambs of thy flock to the fold,
Who wilt be to the orphan Father,
Over whom the dark tempest have roll'd;
When the contrite and broken hearted,
In their sorrows bend the knee,
To them be thy spirit impaired;
BE their comfort trust In thee! U.
