Col. Reads Reapsng Machine.
+ In another column Of our paper win BE-
found an advertisement Of the above ma.
chimes, by which il viii be perceived that
the ingenious inventor now resides 10 ouI
city, and is ready to sell rights or machines
on accommodating terms. The satisfaction
given to the farmers Of the East by repeat.
Cd experiments, is conclusive evidence o.
the value and usefulness Of the invention
Having been approved upon the billy and
stump covered farms Of the East, no one
can question its success upon our level
fields, where neither stump nor stone car
interrupt its onward way.
After public trial made at Washington
in presence Of the members Of Congress,
the Hon. Judge Douglass, Of Illinois, in
writing home to one Of his friends, uses
the following language: "Col. Read is the
inventor Of . Reaping Machine which will
be Of great service to the farmers of the
West. Scientific men speak well of it
and the experiments with it have been en-
inently successful"
Col. Read has number Of testimonials,
and among them beautiful medal awarded
to him by the American Institute Of New
York, as the inventor Of the best Reaping
Machine. This is high authority, coming
as it does from an Institution celebrated for
its practical Science. and as being the de.
pot Of all the inventions Of the country.
We advise those interested to call and
examine the Reaper now in this city.
First Arrival.."LynxO Steam

On Monday last the steam boat LYNX.
commanded by Capt. John A,chison, ar
rived at this place, in two days from St.
Louis, being the first boat Of the season.
The Lynx, We learn, is intended for the
St. Peters and St. Louis trade, and will
make regular trips every two weeks.
Having undergone much repair and i'm.
since last season, she is. now
one Of the neatest and most commodious
boats on the river, and in point Of speed is

her Master is a gentleman who knows

who nourished some forty years
since, and whose medicines, sCm-
ncsc Balsam Life and the 'Celebra-
ted notwithstanding Lotion made
so much noisN at that time. But
few, | presume, have hoar the ancc-
dotc am about to relate concern
ing him. Whc then doctors mcdi-
ei"oc were first announced to the
world, a simple minded laborinc
man, purchased one bottle of the
Lotion, and another of the Balsam,
for his wife, who had Il consuptivc
cough of many years standing, and
who was besides threatened with
the total loss of her hair. The wo-
man used both remedies according
to dire ction, and as is usual with ig-
norant people in such cases, thought
they were really doing a vast deal
of good. The cough seemed to her
to be going away rapidly, she
brcathcd frccr, while her hair ap-
pearcd to be coming back thicker
than ever. As natural conse-
qucnce, she felt very great conf
dcnce in the medicines, and when
the first lot Of BalSam was all used,
she sent her husband to get the bot
tie filed again. The doctor asked
the man how the medicine operated.
i'Oh grandlyn replied the husband ;
my wiie's cough cen Almost gone,
and hairs all coming back again as
fiery as ever 'Ah,' said the doe
tor, that's tho way my medicines
always work.-'l'hcre's no mistake
about them. They're just what
call them-'the greatest wonder OF
of the age 'sposc you've no OBJ
lection to giving me your atfdavit?'
oh no. replied the man, that's
just what my wife wants to do.'

The comparison Of the outward and visibl
glorics OF creation, with prospects that are open
ing on society from the light Of knowledge, is cx
tractcd from one Of the poems of Ebenczcr Elliot
called the "poet of the Poor" who is a poo
iron dealer of Sheffield, England, bu, rich indee
in his intellectual powers:
God said, let there lee lights
Grim darkness felt his might
Aud fled away;
Then started seas, and mountains cold
Shonc forth, all bright IN blue and gold,
And cr,d-'rls day It's da,
Hail holy light! exclaimed
The ihunlcrnus clouds that famed
Der daisies white;
And 10 the rose in crimson dressd,
lean'd sweety DER the hly's breast
And Flushing murmur'd Light
Then was the sky lark born,
Th,n rose the cmba,led corn
Then floods Of praise
Flowed Ger the sunny hills Of noon;
And then in sIlllest night tie moon
POur'd forth her pensive rays;
1.o! heavens bright bow is glad;
I.o! trees aud flowers all clad
In glory, bloom.
Aud shall the immortal sens Of God
lie scnscess as the untroddcn cud,
And darker than the tomb!
No--by the mind Of man.
BY the smaIt arlizan,
BY God. our sire !
Our souls have holy light within,
And every form of grief and sin
Shall see and feel It's FIRE.
by corth--and h, and heaven,
The shroud Of souls is rivcn;
Mind--mind alone
Is light. and hope, and life, and power;
Eanhs deepest hight from this bless u hour
The night of mind is gone!
