MR.. II. G. DYAR'S RoTAToRY OR END
LESS LEVER,

It is with pride and pleasure we have examined
this young gentleman's invention. His unaffected
modesty will insure TO all his visitors, a polite and
liberal reception (; and he would, we know, esteem
lii favor from all those who may entertain any
doubt gifts principle, power, application, to state
them to him, that he may have the satisfaction OF
at least attempting to dispel them. The application
of this power TO Horology, already stands before
the public, in the demonstrable shapes OF two Time
Pieces, and Watch. We need not say more IN
commentator of them, than briefly to state, that
the usual number OF wheels reduced by 1t to two
7 he chain and fusee ars dispensed with. In consc.
quence of its rolling action, the friction is removed
a Watch with the usual springs will 80 eight days;
Ia Clock, a year, with third wheel, and with
Fourth, century and will indicate the time 10 the
one hundredth part of second; and their simpli-
city will consequently reduce their first cost and
annual tax for cleaning and repairs
would be unnecessary here TO detail the several
further improve ments Mr.. ID. has introduced IN
Horology; enough has been said to show the im-
portance of this truly great and valuable invention
in its particular application to this single branch OF
Mechanics.
| 1t is upon the general application OF this new and
powerful Lever to all Machinery, where the tooth
and pinon have heretofore been used, that the In
yentor POUNDS his principal claim and we are glad
to find that he has secured by patent rights, not
only in this country but in Europe and we doubt
not ne VIII reap athple Hults Houi MS iaool Gnu
ingenuity. He has intimated, we believe, his abli-
ty to construct, by the power OF his lever simple
Engine capable of drawing up any ship out of the
water for examination and repair. Sure this would
| be an establishment OF much value IN this great
commercial city, as well as profitable 10 its propri-
eors. What we say Of power, which can it,
self be moved with breath, yet may be made to
raise with ship from its element, but that its
general usefulness must be very extensive, and to
entte It one of the first inventions Of the age! Mr..
D. by taking apart his twelve month clock, exhibited
to us beautiful specimen of his power. which very
clearly defines its actions Bost. Cent.

SOLOMON.

SOLOMON is one of the most interesting and ex.
traordnary characters mentioned in the sacred
Scriptures The advice which this prince recei
we'd from his father David, short time before his
decease, is very remarkable; and doubtless made
deep impression on his mind: Thou, Solomon,
my son, know thou the God OF thy fathers; and
serve him with perfect heart, and with willing
mind Tor the Lord searcheth all hearts. If thou
seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou for
sake him, he will cast thee off forever.'
This king having made great and solemn offe-
ring TO God, soon after his accession to the throne,
the Lord was well pleased with his pety and zeal /;
and desired him to task what he should give him."
This wise prince, humbled under the sense of the
goodness of God to him, and of his incapacity TO
govern so numerous people, declared that he was
lbut little child - and instead of riches, and hon
lor and length of days, he desired that God would
Ibesiow upon him wisdom and knowledge, that he
might prudently and happily rule the nation over
whom he had placed him. This choice was so much
approved by the Almighty, that he gave him a
wise and understanding heart and added riches and
honor 10 the Silt.
Solomon was directed by God to build him a
temple at Jerusalem andthis order he faithfully
executed. The prayer which be made at the de-
dcation of this grand edihce, breathes the most
deyeut and humble disposition, and the most
ardent desire for the true happiness Of his people.
One can scarcely ever peruse it, without feeling
degree of that pious ardour, which pervaded and
animated the breast Of the royal supplicant, this
solemn occasion.
This iust,ious prince, at one period Of his life
!iattered himself with great enjoyments from the
world. He sought for and obtained all the means
of pleasure; but found himself, in the end greatly
disappointed. The result of this search and ex-
pertinent, he gives US, in these memorable lines

NIGHT.

From ackerman'S Forget me not.'
Night is the time for rest;
How sweet when labours close,
To gather round our aching breast
The cur tain of rcpose;
Stretch the tir'd limbs, and lay the head
Upon our own delightful bed
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance OF life,
When truth that is and truth that seems,
Blend in fantastic strife;
All visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by day light are.
Night is tile time for toll
To plough the classic field,
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sang, or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory, where sleep
The Joys Of other years;
Hopes that were Angels in their birth,
But persisted young like things OF earth
Night is the time TO watch;
On oceans dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings into the home sick mind
All that we loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on hours misspent,
To see the Spectre Of Despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus midst his slumbering host
Startled by Casar's stslworth ghost.
Night is the time TO muse;
Then from the eye the soul
Takes flight, and with expanding views
Beyond the starry pole,
Describes athwart the abyss OF night
The dawn Of uncreated light.
Night is the time to pray;
Our Saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away,
So will his followers do;
Steal from the throng to haunts untrod,
And hold communion there with God.
Night is the time for death;
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease;
Think Of Heavens bliss, and give the sig
To parting friends such death be mine

MANUFACTURES OF FLAX, AND TOW.


Mr.. Cassidy of New-Jersey has presented me.
mortal Of aarge number of manufacturers oil ilaX,
hemp, and tow, residing at Paterson in that state,
an abstract OF which may be acceptable to portion
of our readers. The memorial sets forth that the
petitioners have for some years past been engaged
in the manufacture OF hemp, tow, and flax, ptinei-
pally into duck and cotton baggng that they have
prosecuted the experiment until the expenditures
amount to three hundred thousand dollars that
they have at length brought the article to degree
of perfection unequaed in any other country that
after many sacrifices, they anxious TO be placed
upon such footing, by the interpretation of Congress,
as will ensure to the country the permanence Of
their establishments that they are now able to sup
ply twelve thousand bolts per annum, giving en-
ployment to three hundred persons, and indirectly
to as many more, exclusive OF the partial beneht
to every nhabiant of the village and TO the agri-
lculturalst by furnishing a market for three hun.
ldred tons of FAX that the article of duck can now
ibe manufactured in nearly sufficient quantities Tor
home consumption, and that III Its supply we ought
Ito be independent of foreign countries.
The memorialists therefore pray thst in the con-
templsted revision Of the Tariff at he present SEES
sion of Congress- such duties may be laid or duck
land all coarse CLOTHS EhshSiactaFea from hemPs
fax. and tow, as will effectually protect them from
FOREIGN imporations. As an additional induce
ment 10 the government 10 afford such protection
the memorial states that within Two years the price
of duck has been reduced from twenty-five dollars
and hail. 10 seventeen dollars per bolt, oy means
of these manufactures.
