Ths Great lnvemljsn u The Age l-1tean Sap,
planted Gas Triuw phant!

THE first half Of the nineteenth century will be
| u recorded as the age ofSteam. II has passed 1,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLicHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. F. Solomon, after twenty-sx
years OF close observation upon the experiments
of his own and Of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation Of carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same aDd having just received letters patent for his
"lmprov-d Carbonc Acid Eng inc. now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thareof TO the u.
States government, and to individuals to oOm-
panies. the rights of States, counties. cities.
| The immense saving of money ard labor, and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the use
Of this new motor, will inevitably insure it's speed v
adoption in all places where steam power now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-hOrse power
for the coton-gin TO the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, Of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
! lOO tons weight sutfclng for the same power Of
| 800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
'working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
| 18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ]. c. F. Salomon,
late Of this city. has received patent for his motor
of carbonic acid gas in its application to engine.
The succsssful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the NonpareiI. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
| ing and prOpellipg power"
| Also, rights for the Of his "lmproved Pro-
peliing aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can''right-about-face" man. f-war Unless time
| than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle, !"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
| rider
Any information in regard to the above invau-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &C., may

With drinking. smoking, horse lore, dice, and
dogs.
Half agony, half ennui, sunber, strife
Ease, torture, and listIess labor life
Like aqueous volcanoes, spOuting mire,
His days all oozing mud or angry fire
Made up of cheats, false joys, false love, false
rage,
Life is less real than The mimic stage;
More full Of charms than cheat and hope that
lies
Our mimic world has met better fate:
No serpent tempted, and no Adam ate
Call'd up by genius, in her kindest calm,
It's sky is summer, and it's breath is balm;
A fairy home, with fairy hues bedight;
Its voices music, and its life delight
And, varying still, through golden wilds to range,
Each joy has sisters, and each charm change
Ev'n while you gaze, it melts before the eye,
Like magic streamers in polar sky
AS quick, as bright as sunbeahs on the stream,
malden's wishes, or poets dream.
For every mood the Drama has muse,
And every taste its tendant Grace may choose
Laugh with the light, or bid the bosom swell
With Shakspeare's spirit or with Mozart's spell.
Love for the melting, thunder for the bold,
Wit for the young, and wisdom for the old;
Jests for the jolly-for the sad tear
Content for all! Who can't be happy here?
Welcome, once more! May Duness ne or invade
This magic circle by the Drama made;
But, az her votaries step within the wall,
May numbering trouble from their shoulders fall
Memory. her talons loosing from the breast,
Release her prey, and let the spirit rest;
And carking thought and close-pursuing care
