IMPORTANT & vALU ABLE INVENTION

SANDS AND CUMMINGS'S BRICK MACHINE.
- Podeh Rights for rscie.-MICHAEL NOURSE &
CO. of this city, have been appointed the exclusive
agents for the United States for the sale of rights in
the above machine. Ii has been thoroughly tested
and pronounced by practical brickmakers through
out the country to he the best machine for the pur
pose that has yet been produced. 1t is successfully
worked by the application of any metve power,
steam, water of horse. With two light horses the
clay tempered, and at the same time six bricks
moulded in five seconds in the very best manner,
thus excelling in rapdity operation any other
chine for that purpose now known.
The issue of the American patent is only delayed
until the machine can be protected abroad. Mean
while, NJ. N. Go. prepared to negotiate for the
sale of any amount of territory, and to give good
title to the same.

day"
He saw that some of the women be-
came little fdgety, and nudged the fel-
lows in silence and attention.
Suppose, repeated he elevating his
voice, q that this day Gabriel should
blow his trumpet" :"
At this moment the little negro showed
he was trump" and from the top of
the lofty pine loud and clamorous blast
overwhelmed the audience. The women
shrieked, men rose in great surprise, the
horses tied around the camp neighed,
reared and kicked, while the terrified ne
groes changed their complexion to a dull
purple color. Never was alarm, surprise
and astonishment more promptly exhibit
ed.
Lorenzo Dow looked with grave but
pleasant attention upon the successful
result of his experiment until the first
clamor had subsided, and some began to
estimate the character of the artificial
angel, and were about to apply little
hickory after the pine. But the sugges-
ton was arrested by the loud and solemn
tones of the preacher, who looking very
firmly into the faces of the disturbed au-
dience as he leaned over them to continue
his discourse, impressively remarked:
"And now, if little negro boy with a
tin horn on the top of pine bush can
make you feel so, how will you feel when
the day does come 2" AMEN.-Spirlt OF

A CURIOUS SERMoN.-An English paper
contains the following curious discourse,
said to have been lately delivered bv an
eccentric preacher at Oxford:
al am not one of your fashionable,
fine spoken, mealy-mouthed preachers-I
tell you the plain truth. What are your
passtimes !-Cards and dice, fiddling and
dancing, guzzling and quitting! Can
you be saved by dice No. VIII all nf
the four knaves give you a passport to
heaven No. Can you fiddle yourselves
into berth among the Sheep Mo-
You will dance yourselves to damnation
among the goats! You may guzzle wine
here, but you'll want drop of water to
cool your tongue hereafter Will the
prophets say, "Come here. gamesters, and
teach us the long odds ~ his odds if they
do. Will martyrs rant, and swear, and
shuttle, and cut with you! No! the mar
tyrs are no shutters. You will be cut
down in a way you little expect. Lucifer
will come with his reapers and sickles and
forks, and you will be cut down, and
bound, and pitched, and housed in hell.
L will not oil myself to please you! L
will tell you the plain truth. Ammon,
and Mammon, and Moloch, are making
Bethoron hot for you. Profane wretches!
[ have heard you wrangle and brawl, and
tell one another before me, ''I'I see you
id first" But tell you, the dav
will come, when you will pray to Beelze-
bub to escape his clutches; and what will
be his answer! I'll see YOU Id firstp'

The Golfers of England.

1t was in the early dusk of the evening
that we took walk with a friend to see
the laborers as they came up from a coal
mine, where they had been delving from
early dawn to that moment, some 800
ft,t under the surface of the earth The
mouth of said mine was a pit or well,
down which, of course, the eve could not
penetrate but short distance. The op-
eratives were drawn up in basket or car
suspended by strong rope, after the
manner of a bucket in well, the motive
power being a steam engine, which was
at work hard by. They came up some
balf-doZen at time, men, women, and
children, clothed in rags, besmeared with
dust. and black with coal, conversing in
jargon, which to us was entirely unin-
telligible, although they called it English.
The friend who was with us ian English
man) informed us that the women were
employed chiefly as carriers: that is to
say, they carried the coal in baskets from
one shaft to another, and up the long
ladders that extended from one vein to
another, until landed at the foot of the
''main shaft" whence it is drawn up bv
steam as they had just been drawn up.
Some of the veins, however, were so low
that they could not stand upright in them,
and in those cases the burden was placed
upon the car, and drawn by woman
creeping on all fours, with belt about
her waist, to which the rope of the car
was fastened. He said, moreover, that
probably many of these women and chill
dren had not seen the sun for months !;
that the children generally tended the
gates that were placed at intervals in the
veins, and that they were for the most
part in total darkness. -..
He further informed us that so close
was the confinement of the mines, that
the workmen in the mines could not un-
derstand half that should be said to them
by one from another mine five miles dis
tant; and he assured us, as a positive fact,
that at that very mine an officer went to
arrest man and on enquiring of a girl
some dozen years of age, she knew no
such man; but on hearing description of
his person, replied. ''Oh, yes, the mans
old Snooks," and that same s'old Snooks"
was her father, but she did not know him
by his real name. Whether all this is
true or not, one thing is certain, and that
is, that nowhere upon the face of Gods
earth have we ever seen set of men,
women and children who bore such un-
mistakable evidences of stolid ignorance,
inordinate labor and utter brutality. We
have been ON some plantations where it
was evident that the negroes had "hard
master" but we solemnly declare we
have never seen anything to compare at
all with these colliers. In all intellectual
and physical points of view, the slaves of
the South are immeaSurable in advance of
them.-Gospel Herald.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
FADELEss LOVING HEART

Thou shalt not rob me, thievish Time,
OF all my blessings, all my Joy;
/ have some Jewels in my heart
Which thou art powerless to destroy.
sunny eyes may lose their brightness;
Nimble feet forget their lightness;
Pearly teeth may know decay;
Raven tresses turn to grey;
Cheeks be pale, and eyes be dim;
Faint the voice, and weak the limb;
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadeless is loving heart.
Like the little mountain flower,
Peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the summers breath is fed,
And the gaudier fiowerets dead;
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Times destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail,
When on life's rough sea we sail;
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit no longer glow;
But more smooth we'll find the sea.
And our course the fairer be,
II our pilot when we start,
Be kindly, loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old
Ye who bow the knee to gold,
Doth this earth as lovely seem
AS it did in lite's young dream,
Ere the world had crusted o'eI
Feelings good and pure before
Ere ye sold at Mammon's mart
The best yearmgs of the heart:
Grant me, Heaven, my earnest prayer
Whether life of ease or care
Be the one to me assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words
Twined within my bosom's chords,
And that age may but impart
Ripper freshness to my heart.

SIR,-I avail myself of the first opportuni-

riod was afflicted with dangerous giddi-
ness and frequent swimmings in the head, at
tended by loss of appetite, disordered stom-
ach, and generally impaired health. Every
means had failed to give me any permanent
relief, and at length it became so alarming
that was really af raid of going about with
out an attendant. In this melancholy condi-
tion waited personally upon Mr.. Hughes,
Chemist Harlech, for the purpose of consult
ing him as to what had better do ; he kind
ly recommended your Pills, tried them with
out delay, and after taking them for short
time L am happy to bear testsmony to their
wonderful efficacy. I am now restored to
perfect health, and enabled to resume my
usual duties. You are at liberty to publish
