REWARDS OF MECHANICAL GENIUS
Notwithstanding the stale complaint that
mechanical genius has to struggle against
prejudice, and often dies poor and neg
lected, the invention which is really prac-
tical and valuable appears to be very
handsomely paid for. The profits of some
patents for mechanical inventions in use
in this country are enormous The Sci
entifc american enumerates a few. The
right to portion of Wards patent shin
gle machine was recently sold in Albany
for $4,000. A portion of Robertson s
sewing machine has also been sold for $780,
600. This is an invention which can be
carried in the pocket, and will enable a
seamstress to do in one day the ordinary
labor of week. Machines of this kind
are about to be constructed in New Haven,
Conn, by the Messrs jerome, at $40
apiece the manufacturers are now con-
strucsing the machinery, and expect to
sell orders in January. Howe's patent
sewing machine yields, it is said, $4,000
for licenses to use it, and Singers machine
puts $75, 900 into the pockets of the own
ers. Rights to the use of corn planter
have been sold to the amount of $4,000.
Clark's patent pump sold for $4,000.
A portion of the right to an apple pairing
machine, $4,000. Creamer's patent car
brake, 5000, 700. Such rewards as these
are certainly stimulating to mechanical
genius, and the only wonder is that there
are not ten mechanical inventions where
one now exists, when there is so wide a
held ior Its exercise in almost every de-
partment of business.

Going Home.

We said that the days were evil,
We felt that they might be few,
For low was our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew
But one who had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome,
Z And said in his simple fashion,
"Dear friends, we are going home."
This world is the same dull market
That weared its earliest sage;
The time to the wise are dark yet,
And so hath been many an age.
And rich grow the toiling nations,
And red grow the battle spears.
And dreary with desolations
Roll onward the laden years.
"What need of the changeless story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectre that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gold
That wisdom and strength and honor,
AA uoI iebuC iihC liz oCd iOaul,
And death is the only winner p
But, friends, we are going home
"The homes we had hoped to rest in
Were open to sin and strife,
The dreams that''our youth was blessed in
Were not for the wear OF life !;
For care can darken the cottage,
As well as the palace hearth,
And birth-rights are sold for pottage,
And never redeemed on earth,
"The springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers were grieved away,
! And ever we feared tomorrow,
And ever we blamed to o.day
In depths which the searcher sounded
On hills which the high heart clomb,
Have trouble and toll abounded
But, friends, we are going home
"Our faith was the bravest builder,
But found not stone of truth
Our love was the fairest glider,
But lavished its wealth on dust,
And time hath the fabric shaken,
And fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing that was our own.
"The light to us made baser
The path which so many choose,
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use
The heart that when life was wintry
Found summer in strain and tome.
With these to our kin and country
Dear friends, we are going home ~
