New STEERING APPARATUS FOR SHIps.-There
is now exhibition, (says the Boston "Journal, "
at the Merchants Exchange, an improved appa-
ratus for steering ships, which, for simplicity of
construction and apparent completeness Of ope-
ration, has elected much commentator from
persons familiar with such subjects, and deserves
the attention of ship-masters owners, and builders.
1t is altogether novel, believe, in its construc-
ton, and in the opinion of some good judges,
bines the desirable qualities of other inventions,
without their disadvantages. One Of the features
which commend it to the approval of ship-owners
and ship-masters is its entire separation from
the rudder head. 1t is also so contrived that it
combines the old method of the lever with the
power of the screw. The apparent ease and pre-
cision with which it is worked, and the simplicity
of its construction, among its excellencies,
and cannot fail to commend it to the favorable
attention of all those who are interested in COM
merce. We also learn that it can be afforded at
less price than any other of the patent inventions
now in use

/ never spoke to her of love,
Though summer, fall and spring,
l changed my dickey and my boots
To do that very thing
But while | sat, though went in
Resolved to dare my fate,
My resolution, with my dog,
Lay shiyering at the gate.
For years her shadow was my light,
She must have known it all,
Although only blushed and 81 hed,
And stammered in the hall.
Once, only, dearest II the blood
Ran crimson to her cheek!
My heart lay beating on ny tongue
Twas all / dared to speak.
She read the meaning of my flowers,
She treasured all my rhymes,
aFaint heart meier won,'' uponthe snow,
She wrote a thousand times.
And in the silver sand she'd try,
To make me rhyme her DOVE,
But, stupid! ], with all her help,
Would never write my LOVE.
Inever spoke to her of love,
My tongue failed at the start,
And so l livedtoswearI would.
And curse my chicken heart.
One steady pulse. one gasp of pluck,
To nerve my qaiveIing frame,
And had bravely spoken out
Alas! they never came.
One fierce and desperate effort more!
1t ended in a cough!
The words were burning on my tongue
1 couldn't get lem off.
never spoke to her OF love
But another fellow did!
He called one lucky night for him,
And did the thing, and slid
