the number of these Presses which are now in
use from North Carolina 10 Mexico, we feel
no hesitancy in saying that they will super
ccdc the Screw and there are ten Of our
Presses up to one Of any other, and we feel
justified in saying fifty to one. The average
duration Of Screws in this District is not
more than four and half OF five years, and
as there is not less than five hundred Screws,
see what Is paid out in one year.
For single or individual rights, $500.
We offer the District rights for sale on very
low terms, which we consider greater spec
ulation than there is in the country.
Persons wishing Information respecting

With her forests wild, lawns and streams
Yea! cataracts and mountains towering high,
Frowncd as one vast waste Of human woe;
And my disordcrcd mind, tlespsed mankind,
And doubted {impious thought y the love of heaven.
Buried i'll darkness and i'll gloom, my SOUL
Like the blind eagle, fed as 'twcrc upon
1tself-revcling i'll misery and despair:
Behold the change! sunny smile from thee
Sweet love, my grief and darkness bcamed away.
And all nature robcd in hucs of bcautcous lipht.
So, MORNING dawns in radiance OH the world,
And flowers, fount, hill, and dale illumcs-
And glhtering fount, and stream and oceans spray
The wilderness refreshed, redeemed
My heart, all petriicd and hard by woe,
AT the gentle pressure, of thy sacred wand,
Gushcd with sparkling streams Of living ioy!
And now thou art TO me- the light and love,
The beauty, fragrance, harmony of the world
How sweet to bathe my soul in the bright smiles
Playing Ger thy checks like sunbcams ocr the rosc.
Revel in the enchanting melody
Of thy song, soft as angels minstrelsy,
And read affection in thy every act and word
Thou, lovcliest creature of the eternal mind.

Sercnely, mid sunlight and sweet flowers,
Onward through time rejecting Heaven
In its course, to the ocean of Eternity
