NEW INvENTIONI
II. LAWS IMPROVED
SHlAGLE SAVING MACHINE +!
PATENTED JAN. 5, 1853.

THE above Machine is now being introduced
/ in the Lumber region: and as it is by far
the most important improvement that has been
presented for saving Shingles, the attention OF
all persons interested in that branch of business
is particularly called to its advantages. The
inventor feels justified in saying that
It rW do smoother arork, and more Of it in C
giren time, than any other machine;
It has been tested, and found TO require far less
Poser to drice it.:
It Is easily adjusted and not liable to get ont Of
order and nay be readily operated by q" ir'ezper'-
e7ced hand;
It acorks ,c;tA great economy as regards timber,
making shingles than is usual from tie same
amount Of bolts;
And, what is better, It can be afforded at a
cheaper price, all things considered, than any ma,
chine IN
One of these machines is in operation at Rab-
Inns Mill, in Grand Rapids An inspection OF
it and its work, by good judges, will at once sat.
sfy them that the inventor is justified in claim
ing for his machine superiority over all others
that make any pgetensions to public favor.
Orders for machines, addressed to the under
signed at Portage City, Columbia County, Wis,
will receive prompt attention.

OF Plover, Grand Rapids, Saratoga, Preston,
Grand Marsh, Dell Prairie, to kilbourn Civ
Also, from Neceedah to kilbourn City. by the
way of Germantown, Quincy Cascade, or White
Creek and Dell Prairie
These lines of Stages, furnish to the inhabi-
tants of the Pine Region. the means of getting
from Stevens Point or Grand Rapids to Milwau-
kee IN a little less than one and half DAYS. and
besides the fare is lower than anv other route
ana any one who wishes to 60 to Milwaukee can
on one OF these lines be taken to kilbourn CITY
| or Portage City, in one day, and the next morn
ing at half past five the cars will leave for Mil
waukee, and arrive there at half past eleven :;
and any one wishing to come into the Pine Re-
glon can rely upon always being able to get a
Stage at Portage City or kilbourn in the morn
ing, going North and North West, to any of the
! points above mentioned. We have good Coach
! es on all of these routes, an abundant supply of
good horses, and drivers that are sober and frgs-
/ tn, and who obey orders, and have their instruc-
/ tons to drive through.

we will say, that at Stevens Point. an opportu-
nifty is afforded either by Stage or Steamboat,
to go north to Trading Post, Knowlton, Little
Bull Falls, Wausau, Eau Claire, Jenny Bull and
Marathon City And from all by the same
means they come to Stevens Point and take this
stage line to any place they choose, north OF
Portage City; so it will seen that there is no
necessity for patroaizing Foot & Walkers line
unless the traveller prefers that mode of loco,
motion. MYERS i BONUM.

Give the Children Room.

We Gull from one of our exchanges
the following pretty flower:
Aye, give the children room, whether
it be of board, or bed, or steamboat,
or rail-car, or omnibus! Give the chill
dren space and time, and some little
human consideration in whatever they
do or desire. Push not these embryo
men and women to the wall, nor crowd
them into the corner, for they are hui
manity's beauty and perfume. Glum
old bachelor, growing at twinges of
govt, baldpated, or be-wigged, fancy
not that you have but to nod, and all
the children must stand up or squeeze
away to give you room, and silence
their musical chatter to give your crab
bed soul quiet What are yol-or you,
old maiden, with picked aspect, in the
jubilant scale of a healthy universe,
compared with these children? There
is hope of these, but none Of vou.--
Children are too much beaten and hus-
tied about-put off and run over, as if
of no account; yet they are the expand
ing seed of the man and woman soon
to be- TheRhave souls delicate and
sensitive as the pulse Of love- Think
not they are needless of injustice or
spite. The wrong done them pains,
or burns, or rankless deep. The wrong
repeated, accumulated, may warp and
shade a whole dawning life Room
for the children! We were all children
once, and Of such is the kingdom OF
heaven. What were the world with
out children, and what are children
without their fair share of room and
consideration in the world? Children.
they are the blossoms of life; crush
them not, touch them not roughly
We make plea for the children, for
they are much abused, much under
judged. They are not counted, and
set, and respected for the countless
jewels they are. Bah. what dismal
den this earth would be with only sell
fish, sensuous, proud, vain, jostling
business men, and fouuced, Haunting,
gadding, gossipping women to people
it---with no children to daisy and sun
shine, and perfume and melodize it
But for the children, the sun would
put on his nightcap and lie abed till
doomsday.
