SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
This work differs materially from other publ
cations being an Illustrated periodical, devoted
chiefly to the PRONUNCIATION of information relating
to the various Mechanic and Chemie Arts, Indus
trial Manufacturers, Agriculture, Patents, Inven-
which the light of practical science is calculated
to advance.
The Scientific American is printed once a week,
in convenient quarto form for binding, and pre-
sents an elegant typographical appearance. Ev-
cry number contains Eight Large Pages OF read
ing, abundantly illustrated with original engra-
vings-all of them engraved expressly for this
publication.
Mechanics, Inventors, Engineers, Chemists,
Manufacturers, Agriculturists, and people OF ev-
cry profession in life, will find the Scientific A
merican to be of great value in their respective
callings.
Reports of United States Patents granted are
also published every week, including official cop
les of all the Patent claims. These claims are
published in the Scientific American in advance
of all other papers.
Much might be added in this Prospectus, to
prove that the Scientific American is a publica-
ton which every Inventor, Mechanic, Artisan,
and Engineer in the United States should patron
ize; but the publication is SO thoroughly known
throughoutth the country that we refrain from occu-
plying further space.
Its counsels and suggestions viii save them
hundreds Of dollars annually, besides affording
them continual source of knowledge, the ex-
perience of which is beyond pecuniary estimate.

What an infatuated young man wrote

What an infatuated young man wrote
to his lady love-copied from the "Poc
teal establishment,"-last edition:
For thee I'd climb Parnassus high,
And there I'd scale the weather,
I'd wrench the rainbow from the sky,
And tie both ends together.
For thee I'd apple dumplings make,
And stuff 'em full of plums,
For thee I'd castor oil take,
And then I'd lick my thumbs.
For thee I would my bosom tear,
And then I'd wallow in the dirt;
For thee I'd pull out all my hair,
And then I'd tear my shirt.
For thee I'd meet either joy Or care,
Commit most any folly,
And thee I'd cover with kisses rare,
Indeed I would, by golly.
