"And never man spake like this man." John,
vii, 46. After neat and commendable in
PRODUCTION, he spoke more particularly ls,,
of the teachings oil Christ; I'd, the manner OF
His speaking; Sd, the effect of isspeaklng.

We have examined the model Of hemp
brake now in course Of construction by Mr..
George M. Newell, Of this city, which, in
our judgement, is bound TO work and work
well. The machine is intended to break
and clean hemp, and as the subject has re-
ceived much attention at the hands Of Mr..
N, and as he is thorough machinist and
mechanic, it is not too much to believe that
he will SO perfect his machine as 10 give en-
tire satisfaction, both as TO cost, portability
and work. The model has been examined
by some Of our hemp growers, all Of whom
have, we are told, Signiiied their belief that
the principle upon which it is intended to
work, is correct one, and properly applied,
must prove successful. Mr.. Newell has
filed caveat for patent, and in due time,
say two days, a sort of working model Of
the brake will be ready for use. The ma
chine will be light, not weighing over five
hundred pounds, rendering il sufficiently
portable: will dress, with two hands, and a
span Of horses, twelve hundred pounds OF
hemp per day; and it is thought that it will
not cost above 5000. The principle is cyl
inderical, the hemp being fed into receiv-
er at the top, and being broken as it enters
by vibrating jaws, and after passing through
vibrating box, in which the shoves are
pretty thoroughly shaken from the fibre, is
passed out underneath. We are aware that
many considera fine working hemp brake
a chimera, but as nothing is impossible, we
see no reason why the desideratum should
not be acquired. Lexington Express.

Dad is Growing Old, John,
BI J. @. A. WOOD.


Ay, Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes are getting dim,
And years have on his shoulders laid
A heavy weight for him;
But you and are young and hale,
And each stalwart man,
And we must make his load as light
And easy as we can.
He used TO take the brunt, John
At cradle and the pillow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled down the brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whatever his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
But when our boy strength came, John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought US TO the yellow field,
To share the tell with him;
But he went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain
Just like the pillow that heaves the soil,
Or ship that shears the main.
Now we must lead the van, John,
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
At eve to tell us Ger
Those brave old tales Of British times,
OF Grand dad and the War.
heard you speak of Ma'am, John;
IT'S gospel what you say,
That caring for the like Of US
Has turned her head so gray;
Yet, John, do remember we'll
When neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf Of grain.
Her lips were cherry red, JOHN,
Her cheeks were round and fair,
And like a ripeped peach it swelled
Against her waving hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel
She sang TO you and me.
She had buxom arm, John,
That welded well the rod
Whenever with wilful step our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But to the heaven Of her eye
We never looked in vain,
And evernore our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John,
And we are what we are,
And little heed we day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
All, when beneath her faithful breast
, The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, that we most shall feel
n We had no friend like her.
Sure, there can be no harm, John,
Thus speaking softly DER
The blessed names of those, ere long,
Shall welcome US no more.
! Nay! hide it not-for why shouldst theu
An honest tear disown?
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Remember il has flown.
For Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes..are getting dim,
And Main is treading softly down
The dim descent with him;
But you and | are young and hale,
And each stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as we can.
