JEwETTs IMPROVED PATENT

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ-
cling to their numerous friends and customers, that
they have now on hand u large supply of the above
ploughs of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change of times enabled to 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 10 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 arc highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be TO those who
purchase of US. We have now a plough which is
well adapted to SOIL that it sets all compei-
ton at defiance. For the information of thousc un-
acquainted with its constructions 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 mouldboard by three small bolts,) so
that it is easily taken off by means of the clcvs.pin,
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
Of the mould-board is constructed on strictly scie-
iic principles, SO that it perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in 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 have received the warmes testi-
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 no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nsc of any
other We have reduced the price at retail for casl,
in hand to 50 rs for the two horse ploughs, VIII
iron strap forthe beam, and 81 rs for the ono her

flowers! kissed you when we last met,
and my whole frame was filled with sweet
ness one of your curls touched me OH the
nose and that organ was transmitted into

thee! My brain is an everlasting fire
The blood burns and scorches my veins
and vi,als as it passes through them ! Oh

THE FISHER BOY.

PROM THE GERMAN or GOETHE.
The waters purpd-the waters rose;
4 fisher boy, his art
Was practicing, in calm repose,
No care upon his heart:
And as he sat, and as he gazed,
The waters divided were,
And 10. the troubled waters rais'd
A female form most fair!
She sung to him-she said TO him
81 will not this allow
With h1man ark for human whim,
My @h, why Ahest 'hou'
How we they fee6ah, didst thou know
When in their nS1ivc deep,
Thou wouldst descend and with me go
TO learn the health they keep.
aThe Sun and Mop themselves refresh,
Down deep within the sea-
And when they rise they more impress
More glorious seem to be!
Doth not the brilliant sky cnticc
Thee, with its azure hue!
Look down, for with thy own device,
'Tis glass'd in heavenly dew"
The waters purled-the waters swelled'
And wet his naked feet;
The longings of his heart impe.!ed,
The Beautiful to greet!
She spake 10 him-she sang to Lin:
Her charms his sou!d wear!
Half drew she him-haif sank lie in,
And never more was seen. LAON.
