sonal appearance. by the force Of genius
and perseverance, attained the position
Of . prominent journalist and Member
Of Congress in the mercantile metropo-

TO the Farmers OF Iowa.
McCrmick's Reaper.

TIME subscriber, as the authorized
agent Of g. Fl. Mccormick, for
the sale of his justly celebrated Patent
Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern
portion of Iowa, and will visit the coun.
ties of Lee, Desmoines, Henry, Jeffer-
son, Wapello, Van Buren,, Davis, &c.
With the late valuable improvements,
this is unquestionably the best il not
the only Reaping Machine in this sec
ton Of the country. Mr.. Mccormick
was the first 10 introduce successfully
The cutting Of grain by horse power,
and from his great experience (having
sold in the West thousands) ii would be
strange if he had not the best Machine
now in use. have with me testimoni-
ais Of the great value and extensive use
OF this machine to the Western Farmers
in saving their crops. Throughout Hi
nois where great efforts have been made
TO introduce other machines, McCor-
mick, as tile writer fully believes, has
sold and is selling fifty 10 one. over any
machine. An extensive system of in
fringement and imposition upon the pub
lie has been practiced in the West by
the sale of his Reapers altered somewhat,
mot to improve) but to evade his patent.
Suits are commenced against the parties,
and many are the overtures for COM
promise offered by them, but rejected
by Mr.. Mccormick upon the ground
that right stolen from him is not fiji
subject for compromise, and can only
he remedied by full restoration. Sey-
mour az Morgan, of Brockport, New
York, who served three years under Mr..
McCormlck, and learned what they
know Of him, are the largest operators
in the line Of infringement upon his
Patent They are enjoined. | have
The papers with me TO show how the
whole matter stands, with copies of the
Injunction which will leave at all the
prominent points in the district nan ed,
when it is understood that all persons
using a Machine Illegally made or sold,
in violation Of the rights of the Paten-
tee, are equally as liable as the manu-
fac,nrer, or seller, and can be sued and
made 10 pay damages to the Patentee,
and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, it will be per-
ceived that the system OF operations
above alluded to. is not only a fraud up
on the Patentee, but is gross fraud up
on those to whom machines thus made
are sold. Farmers wishing machines,
by leaving their address at the post office
at the county sea. of their county, direc-
ted to me, will ensure call. Orders
can also be addressed to Chiltenden e.
McGayic, Keokuk; j. l.. Montandon,
Fort Madison; Foote & Co., Burlington.
To ensure a machine this harvest, it
would be well to forward riders early.
The Machines are warranted 10 perform
well, or they can be returned.

Little Neily's Deats,-Rcd.
BY GEORGE oREEvlLLE.

Gently tread ye at her bedside,
For our darling's dying now;
Her sparkling eye is glazing,
And the death-damp-chills her brow,
Softly whisper--sob but lowly,
For the angels now are come,
Sent by Him--the high and holy
To convey her spirit home.
Hear we not the gentle rustling
OF their golden beaming wings2
Feel ye not the holy thrilling
That angelic presence brings.
Look! our darling now has seen them,
As they gather round her bed
pretty pretty!" falleth family
She is dying-she is dead!
She is dead yet still there fingers
On her lips that parting smile;
Each one gazing, feels more holy,
More like heaven for the while:
For they think the blessed angels,
AS they bore her soul away,
Left trace of bliss immortal
Stamped upon the infant clay.

Difference Retween Arteries Nd

The knowledge of the distinction be-
tween arteries and veins is one Of The
utmost principal importance; particularly
to the people residing in districts remote
from surgical aid, where those who re-
ceive serious wounds may actually bleed
to death for want of such easily acquired
information. The arteries are composed
of no less than four very firm, strong, e.
lasiic membranes, or coats, and this, as
well as their being &c morally deeply seat
ed in the flesh, TO guard them from in

distinctive character is, tina; the pulse OF
the heart is felt in the arteries only.
The veins lie near the surface; and
bleeding from them may readily be stop
