Bime,by the party made start for the place
where the catin' part of the arrangement was
to take place, which was quiet little spot in
the woods where nobody could see their

sAs soon as she made her appearance a.

rolled on the ground, among the dishes and

apples, and they didn't set we'll on their

was generally can't be imagined. And all

WHAT rs MAN !?

Every one is acquainted with the story of
the vegetarian Brahmin, whose religious faith
forbade him to destroy animal life in food,
but who, on being shown by means of tho
microscope that in every drop of water and
in every grain of rice he necessarily consul
med hundreds of living creatures, could on
ly reply to the complacent entomologist by
dashing to pieces the wonderful instrument,
and cxclaiming in triumph, "Where is your
theory now" Despite, however, of this vic
tory of superstition over science, the micro
scope has established the fact that life is
emphatically the law of nature, life in ex-
haustlcss profusion, life in immense variety.
That almost miraculous instrument discov-
crs world in each forest leaf; it shows us
that in every step we take, in every cup of
water we drink, nay, in every breath we
draw, we unavoidably destroy countless
thousands of lives; it proves that the globe
is great warehouse packed to overfowing
with living organisms, and with scarce an
inch of spare room. Indeed, the microscope
seems to say that wherever there is matter
there is life, in endless, exhaustlcss, we had
almost said reckless, profusion. And hard
ly has our reason recovered from the effects
of these astounding disclosures, when it is
again overwhelmed by the endless raricy
of genera and species with which organic
nature abounds. When Natural History
completes her catalogue of living organisms,
and confesses in despair that her rude skill
cannot classify the finer distinctions of be-
ing, that her grasp cannot compass the great
circle of life, then Geology comes forward
to add to our bcwilderment, and opening
the thickly-packed lamine of the stony vol
ume, discloses to our view uumberless fossil
forms of being which have long become ex-
tinct, and of which the very types exist no
more. 1t was once asked with reference to
the volumiuous works of Origen, (Which of
us has read what he has acritten?" With
far more truth may we ask respecting the
prodigious variety in the productions of the
great Father of life, Which of US can count
what He has crcated2 And when, to crown
this profusion, and at the head of all this
variety of life, we behold sentient, moral,
aud immortal species, for whose sake, direct
ly or Indirectly, all were created; when we
see this vast chain of organic gradation CON-
pleted by a being who has been made but
ga little lower than than the angels, and
crowned with glory and honor" and to which
all the rest have been subjected, that he in his
turn may employ all for the glory of God !;
then we feel that through all this law of life
there runs splendid meaning that this
:.euse population and these countless orders

PAY THE PRINTER.
BY HENRY BRADY.


AS honest men, attend and hear
The serious fact-the times are dear;
Who owes bill, tits just as clear
As starlight in the winter,
That he should come without delay
That's if he can-that bill to pay,
And ere he puts his purse away,
s.Fork over" to the printer.
The printers cheek is seldom ved,
The fine machinery of his head
Is working when you arc in bed,
Your true and faithful "mentor."
All day and night he wears his shoes
And brains to furnish you with news;
But men of conscience ne'er refuse
st:' To pay the toiliug printer.
IT'S known, or ought to be. by all
His dues are scattered, and they're small,
And if not paid, he's bound to fall
In debt-for fuel, bread, rent, or
Perhaps his paper, then to square
Up with his halp-a double care
Bows down his head-now is it fair
That you don't pay the printer?
His wife and little prattlcrs, too,
Are now depending upon you:
And if you pay the score that's due,
Necessity can't stint her;
But if you don't, rs gnaws the mole,
Twill thro' your conscience eat hole
And brand your forehead thus: "No sout!'
Of him who cheats the printer.
The cats will NEW between your feet,
The dogs will bite you on the street.
And every urchin that you meet
Will roar with voice Of stcntor,
"Look to your pockets-there he goes
The chap that wears the printers clothes
And proud, though everybody knows
The grub, he knawed the printer"
Be simply jnst, and don't disgrace
Yourself, but beg the Lord of grace
To thaw that harden'd icy ''case,"
That honesty may enter:
This done, man will with man act fair,
And oil will have the ''tn'' to spare;
Then will the editorial chair
Support well-paid printer.

COTTON SAW GINS.
Straight Ribs, VS.. Crooked, Uniformity of

xt1uoJ fo' SA0ooSuj SAAAS3AAAUy Va
Roll, &c.
4 LTHOUGH the advantage of the straight rib
"a in the COTTON GIN has been discovered for
more than twenty years, yet it has not been sufi-
cently known or appreciated by the planter. The
advantage consists simply in this: that the ribs,
when worn, can be moved down to where they are
not worn, which answers the purpose of q new
sett of ribs. Three moves can be made which
gives four wearings which is equal to four setts of
ribs. So that purchaser having in view prospec-
tive expense, would lose the price of three setts
of ribs if the ribs Of his gin were not movable.
Any planter with common intelligence can move
the straight ribs himself, and thus obtain all the
benefit of q new sett Of ribs.
The greatest uniformity can be obtained in the
roll by giving the ribs the proper angle, the effect
of which is to throw the weight of the roll more
upon the saws than upon the seed board, aud by
adjusting the seed-board so rs to prevent the seed
when once detached from rc-uniting with the roll;
this improvement has been made by the subscri-
Der within few months.
With regard to fast picking gins, the greatest
amount of lint is obtained in two ways. First, by
having long teeth lying as nearly parallel to the
verge of the rs possible so that the teeth en-
tering the ribs so much point foremost they are
obliged to carry all the cotton through that they
get hold or y nifty saw gin with thesc sort OF
teeth OH nine inch saw has gined eight bales per
day. The second plan is, to form the breast so
that the teeth meets the ribs nearly Mt right angles
and thus packs the cotton into the teeth Of the
saws. This plaa is very stra;ning on the saws,
and causes much heavier draught. Whether the
cotton is injured by Al overwraught speed, the
planters MUST judge for themselves. The subscri-
ber will furnish to the planters Of this and udoin
ING Districts Cotton Gins equal in durable value
to any in the country. Delivered at Chester, York,
or Charlotte, or any landing on the road for 81
per saw. The brushes of my gins are covered with
tin /; which adds much to their strength and dura-
bility.
All orders promptly attended to.
