TRAUB'S PATENT PORTABLE
CORN AND FIGURING MILL,
MANUFACTURED By-JAMEs ToDD & Co,
Cincinnati, Ohio.

A MONG the many advantages of this mill
IA over all others now in use throughout the
country, it never chokes nor clogs in the eye.
Having no driver or rind, and the stone through
which the eye passes being at rest, there is no.
thing to obstruct the passage of the grain, which
falling freely upon the lower stone, is instantly
distributed by its centrifugal motion whereas,
in all other mills, the whirling and rapid motion
of the driver, rind and stone obstructs the pas
sage of the grain, and piles it against the side of
the eye, until it descends in body and chokes
the mill. This serious difficulty is wholly obvi-
ated by running the lower stone; nor is the grind
ing Of this mill affected by any irreguarity in the
speed: it grinds uniformly well, whether driven
at slow or high speed, and will never be injured
by running empty, as the lower stone is the one
in motion, and cannot come in contact with its
fellow. 1t is easily understood, not liable to get
out of order, and can be managed by negroes, or
persons who have but a very slight knowledge
of milling.
For further particulars address the undersigned
through the Franklin Post Office, who will give
every information respecting it.

Whoe'er the ponderous hammer wields;
Whoe'er compels the earth to flourish;
Or reaps the golden harvest fields,
A wife and little ones to nourish:
Whoever guides the laden bark;
Or, where the may wheels are turning,
Tolls at the loom till after dark,
Food for his white haired children earning;
To him be honor and renownt
Honor to handicraft and tillage;
To every sweat.drop falling down,
In crowded mills or lonesome village
All honor to the ploddng swain
Who holds the plough Bet too awarded
To him who tolls with soul and brain,
And stirves Pass him not unregardedi
Whether in chamber close and small,
Mid musty tones he fancy smothers;
Or Of the trade the bandaged thrall,
He dramas writes and songs for others;
Or whether he, Tor wretched pay,
Translate the trash which he despises;
Or, learning's serf puts day by day,
Dunce-corps through classic exercises.
He also is prey to care:
To him It's said, Starve thou or borrow"
Grey grows betimes his raven hair,
And to the grave pursues him sorrow,
With hard compulsion and with need, 8
He like the rest, must strive untlring;
And his young chdrens cry for bread
Mains his free spirit glad aspiring.
All such one to me was known,
With heavenward aim his course ascending;
Yet deep in dust and darkness prone,
Care, sordid care, his life attending.
An exile. and with bleeding breast
He groaned in his severest trial;
Want goaded him to long nnrest,
And seourged him to bltterest selfdenial.
Thus, heart-sick, wrote he line on line,
With hollow cheek and eye Of sadness;
Whilst hyacinth and ieafy line
Where fiuttering in the mornings gladness.
The throstle sung, and nightingale
The soaring lark hymned joy unefding,
While thoughts day-laborer worn and pale,
Over his hoary book was bending.
Yes, though his heart sent forth cry.
Still strove he for the great ideal
For this" said he, etis poesy,
And human life this fiery ordeal
And when his courage left him quite,
One thought kept his heart alive in.
+" have preserved my honor bright,
And for my dear ones | am striving"
AT length his spirit was subdued:
The power to combat and endeavor
Was gone, and his heroic mood
Game on fitfully like fever.
The Muses. kiss, someti ues at night,
Would set his pulses wildly beatings
q And his high soul scared toward the light,
Wheh night from morning was retreating.
He long has lain the turf beneath,
The wild winds through the grass are signing
No stone Is there, no mourning wreath,
To mark the spot where he is lying
Their faces swol,n with weeping, forth
His wife and children wen-God save them
Young paupers, heir to nanght on earth,
Save the pure name their father gave them.
To toll, all honor and renown
Honor to. the handicraft and tillage;
To every sweat-drop falling down
In crowded mills or lonely village
All honor to the plodding swain
That holds the plough! Be it too awarded
To him who works with souland brain,
And starves Pass him not unregarled

OF life. man not unamiabe in bis disposition,
IT Is said, by those who knew him, but few
better than he were fitted to 60 through life
without compromising their character, 1t is
said that he reveled in crime, rather for the
qualification Of the daring. the romantic, and
the unprincipled. than for the mere love Of pc
euniary gain. Be all that as it may, however,
his letter to the Coroner. in our opinion, dis
closes the grand secret Of his il-starred career.
He was an inhdel Of the worst stamp; with
him death vas an ''eternaI Sleep" to be enter

UThe correspondence Of our
Government with Turkey relative to
The Hungarian refugees has been
published. A letter from Mr.. Brown
to the Secretary Of State, states that
the Turkish Government promised
only 10 return the Hungarians with
in the territory of Turkey for one
year, and he thinks that Govern
ment will permit Kossuth and his
companions to leave in May, when
the year will have expired. The
Secretary Of State subsequently
wrote to Mr.. Marsh, our Consul at
Constantinople, urging him to pre-
vail on the Turkish Government not
TO renew stipulations. for the further
detention of the Hungarians, and
directs him to offer the use Of some
one of the U. S. vessels now in the
MEDITERRANEAN TO convey Kossuth
and companions to this country,
should that Government permit them
TO leave.
