We call the attention of Farmers to our simple
Reaper and Mower. 1t possesses the following
advantages:
LIST. There are none of those cog wheels about it.
which render all other machines so unsatisfactory
but it works entirely with roller-consoqucntly
there is but little friction.
End. The Machine can be raised or lowered by
the driver, while in motion.
3rd We connect the knife directly to the main
driving wheel, by the means of Il rockcr-shaft.
4th We have mnlleablc iron guards, arranged
so that it is impossible for it to cnoKE-the knife
passing through two guards at each vibration.
5th There is' no weight the horses neck,
from the fact that the tongue is hinged to the
main frame.
9th. The machine can BIO changed from
Reaper to Mower by tho means of removing
two bolts.
18th There is no side draft in this machine-this
has been thoroughly tested-two horses can work

it has been said by Farmers to be the best machine

Systematized Ras-Pickine In California;.
Extent of the Trade.

Rag-picking in California has been re-
duced to permanent business, in which from
three hundred to four hundred persons are
constantly employed. A Mr.. Taylor has es-
tablished mammoth warehouse in San Fran
cisco, where he buys, and pays for at good
rates. everything which can be found in the
city. Old clothes, boots and shoes, bones,
bits Of wood, iron, glass, garbage from the
streets and alleys tin, brass, ashes, coke, and
in fact everything which finds a Judgement in
the streets or alleys. The trade, besides en-
riching the proprietor, serves the double pur-
pose Of furnishing work to the poor of every
nation, thus diminishing beggary and pau
perism, and also saves the city an immense
sum, which would otherwise have to be paid
for the removal of offal and garbage.
Mr.. Taylor sells all that he buys. His old
glass he sends to China for manufacture. His
rangs to the paper makers; his ashes TO the
manufactures of pot and pearl ashes; the
wood and Goals are sold for fuel; the old tin
is melted for solder; the broken dishes are
ground for fertilizers; and the garbage is de-
posted in immense compost heaps, and aftel
season Of fermentation, is sold to the gar
deners near town for manure. Thus is every
thing, under this system, made available. i
is said that many who are thus engaged have
acquired competency, and the case of onC
man is mentioned who has accumulated ovel
$6, 900 in about five years.

The Origin Of the Poem of ''The Old Ouken
Bucket.O

-. The following reminiscence of Samuel
Wordsworth, from aprivate letter, is in refer
enee to the period of the production of the
s"Old 0aken Bucket"
Il was written in the spring or summer of
lSl7. The family were living, at the time, in
Duane-street. The poet came home to dinner
one very warm day, having walked from his
office somewhere near the foot of Wall-street.
Being much heated with the exercise, he
poured himself ont glass of water-New
York pump water--and drank il at a draught,
exclaiming, as he replaced the tumbler on
the table, THAT is very refreshing; but how
much more refreshing would it be to take a
good, long draught, this warm day, from the
old oaken bucket | left hanging in my faith
erswell, at home" Hearing this, the poet's 8
wife, who was always suggestive body,
said, "Selim,s why wouldn't that be a pretty
subject for .pOem?" The poet took the
hint and, under the inspiration of the mo-
ment, sat down and poured out from his
very soul those beautiful lines which have
immortalized the name Of Wordsworth.
