LYNN-Professor Ingraham, in his last new
work, "The Young Genius" thus characterizes
this as the vast cordwainery Of the Union :"
"The very pleasant and thriving town OF Lynn
is the paradise Of shoemakers! Its young men,
early transferred from the cradle to the last. cut
teeth and leather at the time and its pretty
maidens learn to bind shoes with the induction OF
their a, B, abs! Lovers exchange hearts over
kd-slipper, and swear eternal fidelity upon lap-
stone If they would get married they ask old
DR.. Waxend, the parson, if he will stucA them
together, and they will pay in hides and I, shoe
mending. Whipping their children they call tan-
ming, and the rod they use is co,oh'ds. I'he
little boys swear "by hides and feathers" and
play at games which they call "high and low
quarter and 8 heel and toe" child newly
born is lap-stone, and the age OF children Is
known by the number Of the shoe they wear.
Boys are called rights and girls letts-and old
maid is an odd slipper" and bachelor an odd
boot"
"The street doors to their dwellings are " in-
steps," and man in an overcoat 10 foxed. -
The fields about the town are patches" and a
fellow half-seas over is "haf-soled They never
see a maple tree but they directly calculate the
number Of pegs it will make, and when they be.

Of wax is wax-end They look on all cattle and

gether, would make monument higher than that

Frederika Bremen, in her pamphlet upon Strauss
and his peculiar tenets makes the following beau
tiful apostrophe to the Bible:
Book of books! deep, wonderful mine, whose
shafts ages have assaulted, ages have traversed,
and will yet traverse! Holy lineage-roll, display
ing the record of the internal unfolding of the
race Of man from the hour Of it's birth-gigantic
drama Of life's beginning and end Drama with
dark episodes and bloody scenes, but whose MORN
ings are in light; which commences with mans
infancy, and ends where begins a new life after
death and the grave. History Of histories how
often have not descended into its depth with an
ardent and inquirng heart.
Long-long was it to me dark, mysterious, and
incomprehensblc, and could not separate the
precious metals from the dross and earth, which
adhered to it; the great pulse of reconciliation
steadily beating beneath the varying veal and
woe of earthly life amid the solemn blessings and
courses of the waiting mind, was concealed from
me ; long have strayed and doubted, often de-
spairing Of the way and the truth. Yet the eye
became by degrees used to see by twilight; and
even for the least of his inquiring children does
God let his light shine! Now walk securely
on the wonderful course, and to my last hour will
journey on, searching and praying. To effect
mans reconciliation with the true life, and with
God, the development Of his nature and his fa--
Their progress, he must, in the present age, espe-
cialy, become reconciled with the Scriptures"

IEwETT,s IMPROVED PATENT


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
ploughs Of this years manufacture, which. owing t.
the change of times we enabledto offer at great
ly reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last year by the sale of over 1000 Of these poughs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair 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 US. We have now a plough which is
SO well adapted to our SOIL that it sets all COMPETE
ton at defiance. For the information of housc I'M
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 moud-board by three small bols,) so
that it is easily taken off by means of the clevispn
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
of the mouldboard is constructed on strictly scen
c principles, that it scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy soil, which is in truth the
great dissderatumin this section of the country as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one
third more work in day, with far greater case, and
in much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows. With.
in the part year we have received the warmest tes-
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, we were on trial and awarded the pre-
MUM Also 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 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 SO rs for the two horse ploughs, viii
iron strap forthe beam, and 81 IS for the one hor
ploughs. A liberal discount made to those vi o

Power OF NIAGARA FALLs.-An accurate
estimate and measurement of the water power
Of Niagara Falls. makes it equal to the power
Of 4,533 1874 horses. The entire aggregate of
motive power now in use in Great Britain. in
all the manufactures Of cotton, wool, fax, &c.
in mining &c., is only equal TO 233, 900 horse
power. So that all this power, the working
of which produces so vast proportion Of the
wealth of Great Britain, amounts TO no more
than oue.nineteenth Of the motive power of the
Niagara Falls.
