NJ D, of the city Of New York, who has been
regular practitioner Of medicine in that city for the
last ten years, and also member Of the New York
Medical society.

time to the subject about three years since offered
his invention to the public under the name of

moral. and social condition Of the Jews
must be q miracle. We can come TO no
other conclusion. Had they continued
from the christian era down to the present
hour in some such national state IN which
we find the Chinese, walled off from slle
rest Of the human family, and by their
selishness on national scale, and their
repulsion of alien elements, resisting eve
~ assault. from without. in the shape OF
hostile invasion, and from an Overpower-
ing national pride forbidding the introduce
ton Of new and foreign customs. we
should not see so much miracle interwo-
ven with their existence. But this is not
their sta.e-far from it. They are neither
united nor independent nation, nor
parasitic province. They are peeled and
scattered into fragments; but, like bro
ken globules Of quicksilver, instinct with
cohesive power, ever claiming affinity,
and ever ready to amalgamate. Geogra-
ply. arms, genius, politics, and foreign
help do not explain their existence; time
and climate and customs equally fail to
unravel it. None Of these are. or can be.
sprins of their perpetuity. They have
spread over every part Of the habi'able
globe have lived under the reign of every
dynasty; they have used every tongue,
and lived in every latitude. The SHOWS
Of Lapland have chilled, ard the suns OF
Africa have scorched them. They have
drunk of the Tiber, the Thames, The Jor.
! dan, the Mississippi. In every country,
and in every degree Of latitude and longi>
! tude, we find Jew.
It is not so with any other race. EN-
pires the most ilIuslrious have fallen, and
buried men that constructed them; but the
Jew has lived among the ruins, living
monument of indestructibily. Persecution
has uneheathed the sword and lighted the
faggos; Papal superstition and Moslem
! barbarism have smitten them with unspa-
ring ferocity; penal rescrip,s and deep
prejudice have visited on them the most
ungenerous debasement; and. notwi.hs.an
ding all, they survive.
Like their own bush on Mount Horeb,
Israel has continued in the flames, but un-
consumed. They are the arissocracy Of
Scriptnre-let off coronets-princes in de.
graduation. A Babylonian, Theban, a
Spartan. an A,henian, Roman, are names
known in history only; their shadows
alone haunt the world and flicker its tab
lets. A jew walks every street. dwells in
every capitol, traverses every exchange,
and relieves the inonotony Of the nations
Of the earth. The race has inherited the
heirloom Of Immortality, incapable Of ex-
tinc,ion or smaIgamasion. Like s.reamle,s
from common head, and composed Of
waters of peculiar nature, they have flow
ed along every stream without blending
with It, or receiving its flavor, and trsver.
sed the surface of the globe amid the lapse
Of many centuries, distinct-alone. The
Jewish race at this day IS, perhaps, the
mos. striking seal Of The sacred oracles-
There is no possibility Of accounting fol
their perpetual isolation, their depressed
but distinct being, on any ground save
those revealed in the records Of truth

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
cling to their numerous friends and customers that
they have now on hand large supply of the above
poughs Of this years manufacture, which, owing u
the change Of times we are enabledto offer at great
ly reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last year by the sale Of 1000 Of these poughs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced 10 spar pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves and must be to those who
purchase of u. We have now plough which is
SO well adapted to our soil, that it sets all COMPETE
ton at defiance. For the information of thouse un-
acquainted with its construction, We will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surface Of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made of
wrought iron. The shear Of steel, (Which is at
tached to the mould-board by three small bols) SO
that it is easily taken off by means of the clcvispn
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
of the mouldboard is constructed on strictly scen-
tfc principles that it scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dssideratum in this section of the country as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one.
third work in day, with far greater ease, and
in q much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
in the part year we have received the warnest test
monials in regard to them from hundreds Of our
practical men who have them in use and at the ST.
Louis County Agricultural society's Fair, held in
October last, were on trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Also "a diploma at the Fair of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last. But
the best evidence Of their superiority to all others
now in use. is the fact that no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nse of any
other. We have reduced the price at retail for cash
in hand to 50 rs for the two horse ploughs, viii
iron strap forthe BEAM and 81 rs for the one her
ploughs. A liberal discount made to those wi o

THE FALLEN LEAVES.


We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to see the yellow things
Go rustling on their way;
Right merrily we hunt them down,
The autumn winds and we,
Nor pause to gaze where snow'drifts lie,
Or sunbeams gid the tree.
With dancing feet we leap along
Where the withered boushs are strown,
The past nor future checks our song
The present is our own.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In youths enchanted SPRING
When hope (who wearies at the lass,)
First spreads her eagle wing.
-.-Ne1eal with steps Of conscious strength
Beneath the leaAess trees,
And the color kindles on our cheek
As blows the winter breeze;
While gazing toward the cold, gray sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all past by,
And the young spring here again.
We stand among the falling leaves,
,s In manhood's naughty prime
When first our pausing hearts begin
To love the "olden time"
And, as we gaze, we sigh to think
How many year hath passed,
Since meath these cold and faded trees
Our footsteps wandered last;
And old companions-now, perchanee,
Estranged, forgot, or dead
Come round US as those autumn leaves
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In our own autumn day
And tottering on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cherries way.
We look not back-too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost;
Nor forward-for we may not live
TO see our new hope crossed;
But on we go-.he suns faint beam
A feeble warmth imparts-
Childhood without its joy returns
The present fills our heart.

AToo-FoND wIrE.-Among the items Of late
foreign intelligence, our readers may remem.
Der the mention Of the death Of Mr.. Aymer,
circus vaulter, who broke his neck in Eng
land recently in an attempt to throw double
somerset. The Ncr.h Adams (Mass.) Trans
cript gives the following melancholy account
of the effect Of the news upon his widow,
who is resident of that town:
"Mr. Aymer formerly resided ia this viii
lage; and left here engaged in his profession,
about a year since. He has here, residing
with her mother, beautiful and lovely wife
of twenty, to whom the intelligence of his aw-
full end was communicated by means Of the
above extract on Friday last. She read it,
shed a tear over il, and burst into the wild
laugh Of the maniac.
ut was one of the most heart-rendino
scenes the eye ever beheld. to look upon the
mental ruins Of this beautiful female, to en-.
counter that wild and frantic eye, and to listen
TO the wild and unmeaning conversation Of one
whose reason has stranded. On the Sabbath,
she arrayed herself in her bridal dress, and
wandered over the fields, plucking flowers,
and decking herself with fantastic ornaments,
piercing the ear and the hear: with her frantic
calls for her lover. Mrs. Aymer buried her
only child in New York the past summer, and
is now verify alone on the bleak wasteof life,
without star 10 guide her frail and shattered
bark, and without beacon-light to warn her
of quicksands and shoals"
