succession Of carriages, containing from twenty to
fifty tons weight, but to see the machine smoking
and laboring up the hill like draught horse makes
the illiterate almost believe that ii is effected
by the art of necromancy, and that the devil must
be at the bottom oft.
Perhaps the time is not far distant when the
public mails and land travellers will be conveyed
from place to place by steam instead of horses, and
this wonderful labor saving machine, while passing
over the raj road Of New England, will astonish
Jonathan as much as the first steam boat did old
Neptunes
Nor is this the last manner in which the power
of steam will be applied, for even now son OF
New England is making experiments IN the Metro
polls Of the world, in order to apply the power OF
war, and he has already ascertained that many
more cannon balls can be projected in given
time by the power Of steam, than car be thrown by
the common method Of employing gun powder
BY this increased ratio of death bearing mis-
siles, what dreadful waste of live. will occur
iu all places closely besieged, where the pow
er Of steam shall supplant that Of POWDER and it
would seem that the astonishing effort of combined
genius, which has brought the machine to periec
tion for the benefit Of mankind, will ultimately
turn out to be their destruction. Unless to make
amends for the greet waste Of lives which steam
will cause, when introduced into common warfare,
nuny or a greater number of persons will be
saved by method of employing steam, lately re-
commended by correspondent Of semi-weekly
paper printed in this town. He advises it to be
applied to the surface of human bodies, for the
purpose of preventing and curing all the diseases
(Which flesh is heir to-" II is presumed that there
can be no person who does not wish him success
in his humane undertaking, but it is concluded that
il should not be applied upon the principle Of high
steam pressure, according to the directions of Elas
Smith, and host of other quacks, lest man should
suddenly weep away his life, not in tears, but in
great drops of sweat waste his corporeal parts in
a rapid evaporation Yet the writer deserves well
of his country, that he is endeavoriug to save a.
many lives by his application OF steam, as Per-
kins can kill by another method Of its applica-
tion.
To mention all the purposes TO which steam may
yet be applied, would exhaust your patience, for
they are thought to be so numerous that should the
great Darwin once more revisit the world, he
would be induced to change hi, motto from "omnia
| e concha" to omnia vapore.n
Finally, MIR. Editor, if you invent a method
to write composition we'll to correct and print
it by the application # steam, you will immortal
ise your name, and very much favor the spread OF
literature, though it might throw into the back
lutely deprive some of them, and also a host Of
printers oftheir daily occupation-yet it might be
considered hghly y valuable by preventing further
communications from the OBSERVER.

NICHOLS PATENT SPRINGS.

tent Springs, informs the citizens Of the United
States, that he has appointed MIR. VARNUM WILL

Springs, which are applied to the births OF vessels
The Springs can be applied to carriages, sofas,
chairs and births of vessels and they possess SUCH
sing uar powers Of elasticity, that they completely
take of the Earrings of carriages, and render oirth
of vessels much more agreeable places OF repose
than they are generally found to be by voyagers.-
They have been fully attested and approved oy
travellers and commanders Of steam boats, who have
recommended them to the use OF the pubic.
II is believed that If these springs were gener-
ally introduced aboard Of steamboat and packes'
passengers who are liable to seasickness, and dis
turbed by the constant jarrng incident to the ma
chinery OF steam. boats, would not be annoyed by
either, and that they would be found complete

PROVIDENCE.

Mrs. ADAMS. We respectfully inform the edi
tor of the Salem Gazette, that the paragraph in
the last number Of this paper in relation to Mrs.
ADAMS, the lady Of the President Of the United
States, was neither puff nor burlesque. We
are not sensible Of having uttered a word disre-
spectfully OF that lady, and what We said was eli
cited by the circumstance of our having acci-
ientally had an opportunity of beholding an midi
vidual whose elevated condition in lie, has attach
ed TO her degree Of curiosity. We speak disre-
spectfully of one; and in giving sketch Of the
appearance aud manners of the lady in question,
we did no more than what our feelings prompted.
Our plain American education has taught US no to
worship or derde any one, and certain we, that
what we wrote of Mrs. ADAMS, was neither intend
ed to puff or burlesque her. Mrs. ADAMS is a wo-
man, and, like other women, she is entitled TO re-
spect or censure, just as her department merits
What we saw other went far to call forth our re-
verence and regard; and her plain and unassunn,
manners will ever gain the admiration fthoss who
behold her.

FOR THE LITERARY CADET.
DECLAMATION.-No. 1.

The object OF education Is, to impart the rudi-
ments of science to youth But this is not the sole
end that it has in view: for they must also be
taught to bring forth that which they know, both
in conversation and in public speaking. The las,
mentioned exercise is frequently neglected in OUT
academies, and in this particular. they call loudly
for reform. correct and easy enunciation, and
confidence in the of speaking, is the result
of practice. Some found to condemn this
practice, because they suppose that boys acquire
bad manner Of gesticnlation, by being forced to
speak, at an early age, before their fellows. This
may be the case, in large seminaries, but it can
not be, in those consisting Of limited number of
to each, individually. Every one knows that
large boys are more awkward when they first at
tempt it, than small ones; and it is because they
have been suffered to neglect it when younger
It is extremely difficult to correct the awkwardness
and bashfunes. of such pupils; and these vicious,
habits sometimes become SO fixed, that, with the
greatest efforts, they rarely attain tn mediocry.
Ithas been objected, that boys become too for
ward, by being accustomed to speak confidently be-
fore a large audience. This bodness, Of which
those persons who make this objection appear TO
complain, is, in my view, excellent char,cteris-
tic in them, for it produces fearessness in asking
questions for information, and an easy demesnor in
the presence OF their superiors in age; which, when
contrasted with the gawky and stiff bashlulaess OF
others, is displayed in an amiable point ofview.
