.4rties abridged from Professor Sallinaan's
"Journot Of Science and .4rts.n
Federation Of 1Uater 5uheels. The au-
thor' of two letters published in the
Journal remark, that it is well known
tact,that the velocity of water wheels
is Crater by night than by day. In the
spinning of cotton, it becomes necessary
to lover the gate, and let on less wa er
in tie evening than in the day time.
These writer's are Inclined to attribute
this acceleration of water wheels 10 the
t' ~-nnsna rrassi,re of The afmnsnhere in
tie night, and one of them observes
flat the same result takes place in the
winter when warm weather Is followed
BY cold, or the water is more directly
a,ted upon by a body of ice upon its sur
fee. The Journal contains third let
ter on this subject, the writer of which
states that it is the universal opinion
tat mills move faster in the night than
i, the day, but having performed some
experiments, he found that they dad not
move more rapidly by night than BY
Gay.
| .Nouing rocks.-Several accounts have
leen published of rocks situated in a
,ond or lake gradually approaching the
hore, and there is no Logger any doubt
IF the truth of these statements.-Some
of these rocks move only a few feet,
others or 2 rod, every year; leaving
Ia channel in the mud behind them,
and pushing up the earth before them
These phenomena have been attributed
Ito various causes, but a writer in the
journal is satisfied that the motion i:
produced by the operation of the ice
4 The ice forms firmly about the rock
and as it expands from the middle o
tthepond towards the shore, carries the
rock along withit. 1t is evident to those
who have observed how ice is formed
that in all cases il expands from the mid
die towards the borders. When water
is frozen in Il vessel, it expands from the
middle TO the outside, and breaks the YES
sci. A frozen egg bursts from the sam'
cause. On lakes and ponds the weigh
of the ice prevents the expansion up
wards the water resists n below III
expansion will therefore be directed to
wards the shore; and if the shore is 81
inclined as 10 offer little or no resistance
the ice will project beyond the water
The writer states that he has observed
ice at the edge of ponds projecting upor
the shore considerable distance.

every time the ice formed, the rocI

VHSHIS Machine was invented

YHIS Machine was invented
u by the Subscriber, in the summer Of
1922, whilst confined to his bed with a leg
badly fractured, and has subsequently been
introduced into various hospitals and private
families, where its usefulness has been suffi-
GENTLY attested, as will appear by the subjoin.
ed certificate. The Proprietor has had it in
successful operation in various cases of disease,
&c. such as fractured hips, thighs, legs, inflam-
matory rheumatism and fevers.. It's impor-
lance to society cannot be too highly appre.
ciated, when it is remembered that, by the
use of the Alleviator, the bed of sickness and
distress is Invested of many of its woes, and the
hours of pain and wretchedness are rendered
more tolerable, if not entirely Invested of their
fortunes. The inventor has obtained patent
for the machine, and it is now offered for sale
to a humane and discriminating Publick, on
liberal and accommodating terms.

Certificate from John C. Warrsn, M. D. of
Boston, Principal of the Massa-

Mr.. J. C. jerks having requested my o.
pinion OF his Machine for raising the sick and
wounded from bed, have examined it, and
tound it we'll calculated for the purpose. In
order to test its practical utility, desired him
TO convey it TO the Massachusetts, General
Hospital, and have repeatedly employed it
there, particularly in a case OF fractured thigh,
accompanied with delirium, and found it high
ly useful. Considering it therefore a valua-
bic invention, very heartily recommena it
for the use of hospitals, and for all private pa
tients who may be in need of it.

four quarts of new milk, and a small
portion otarnotto. Churn them togeth-

WOMAN'S LOVE.

Oh say not woman's love is light,
Or that the smile,
Which plays upon her lips SO bright,
Is falsehood's vile;
No woman's love will ne'er decay,
Though all that pleased be passed away,
Then say not that her smile, though gay.
Will e'er beguile.
Oh think not woman's heart is cold.
Nor weeps her eye
Or that the bosom you behold
Meier breathes sigh
No F.. woman's heart is warm and true,
Though meek and mid as morning dew.
Then, think not that her love for you
Too soon will die
