PRESSING BRICKS.

IHE subscriber would inform the
BrIcklayers of the counties of Augusta 81
Rockbrldge, that he has purchased the
patent right of Thos.A. IGick's improved
Brick-Prcss, in and for the aforesaid
counties Of Augusta and Rock bridge.
AS respects the principles ofthc above
mentioned machine the subscriber makes
no hesitation iii affirming them to be ge-
nuine.
The most material principle is that il
consists of double mole, by means OF
which one brick is hoisted to the top OF
the mole at the same time the oDposite
is pressing; which renders iga speedy o.
pcratiOn. There can be from six to 5000
bricks pressed in day with it, to per
lection, if properly attended. The pow
er OF the machine is remarkable accor-
ding to the patentee's calculation a man
weighing 100 lbs. applying his weight
to the extreme end of the levre eleven
leet long, will cause the pressure upon
the brick to be equal to Is, 900 lbs.-the
hall OF which is sufficient to press brick
to perfection.
The subscriber will vend rights tc
those who are disposed to purchase
upon the lowest terms. He will all
so be able to furnish certificates OIL
the satisfactory performance of the a.
bove machine. For rights, apply to the
subscriber. living three miles North oil
Middlebrook, Augusta county, who will
also furnish a model of the machine.

BE composed every toll and each turbulent

That encircles the heart in lifc's treach-

And the hour that invites 10 the calm of de-

Undisturb'd by regrets, unincumber'd
with cares.
How cherries the late blooming face of Gre
alton?
Weary time seems to pause in his rapid
career,
And latigaed with the work of his own desc
lation,
Looks behind with smile on the grave of
the year.
Hark the wind whistles rudely, the sha-
dows are closing,
That enwrap his broad path in the mantle
of night,
While pleasures gay sons are in quiet repos-

Undismay'd at The wrecks that have nun

From yon temple, where fashions gay ia
pers are lighted,
Her vot'ries in crowds, deck'd with gar
lands, appear,
And as yet their warm hopes by no spectre
Assemble to dance round the grave ofthe
year.
Oh! hate the stale cup which the oilers
have tasted,
When think on the ills oflife's comfort

How the flowers Of my childhood their YER
dure have wasted,
And the friends of my youth have been
stolen away.
They think not how fruiteSs the warmest

To recall the kind moments neglected
when near,
When the hours that oblivion has cancelled
Are Inferred by her hand in the grave of
the year.
Since the last solemn reign of this day of re-

What throngs have relinquished LIES per-

How many havs shed the last tear of deiec-
ton,
And closed the dim eye in the darkness of
How many have sudden their pilgrimage
ended,
Beneath the low pail that envelopes the
bier,
Or to demh's lonesome valley have gently
descended,
And made their cold beds with the grave
OF the year,
Yet awhile and no seasons around us shall
flourish,
But silence for each her dark mansion
prepare,
W hen beauty no longer her roses shall nour-

Nor the lily o'crspread the wan cheek OF

stating that sudden and severe indis-
position had prevented him. from giving
his attendance, and bearing his testimo-

most intimately connected the happi-
ness and salvation of our country. The
meeting were also informed that pres

them OF the attendance of the Hon. MIR.
SERGEAKT.-Judge BRICE, the chair
man, improved the moment to read some
important public documents and make
some remarks. A medical gentleman
present succeeded him with some obser-
yations, TO which the audience listened
with much interest; after which the Rev.
MIR. NEvINs introduced the Rev. Mr..
MARSH, Temperance agent in the city;
who for about forty minutes addressed
the audience in manner calculated to
impress them deeply with the necessity
