The PLANTERS
MACHINE

has now been before the public for nearly two
years. Its merits have been fully tested in
Louisiana and Mississippi, and we have yet to
learn of a single planter who has used it who
has been dissatisfied with its work. In fact
the testimonials already published in the AP-
PEAL, and the many more which have been
shown us from planters below on the river,
satisfy US that it is, to say the least, a God-send.

The following Endorsements, given to
Messrs. MiIburn, Walker & Co., wagon dealers,
81 Union street, general agents for the sale f
this machine, from gentlemen personally
known throughout the South, win give to
those at a distance a guarantee of the capacity
of the machine:
MEMPHIs, TENN, April o. 1872.
Messrs. Milburn, Walker & CO..:
Having examined some work executed by
the Planters Machine, Ihave no hesitation in
saying that IL is a decided success. The plOw-
ing is perfect, and the ridges formed at the
same time are much superior 70 those made
in the old style. They are uniform, and it is
hard to distinguish one from the other. l
commend it as a labor-saving machine, and

F.. C. STEPHENSON,
Shelby County, Tennessee.
The above gentleman is well known
throughout West Tennessee and North Missis-
sippi as one of our most practical planters. OF
the following, from Mr.. Ford, Of the we'll
known house of Ford & Porter, 1t is unneees-
sary to speak. Mr.. Ford is not only one of the
largest planters in the South, but one Of our
ablest and most reliable business men. He
says:
1 examined the beds or ridges made by the
PLANTERS MACHINE, and do no not hesitate
to say they are more regular and uniform
than any ] ever saw made by the common
mode of preparing beds. Ibid not see q test Of
the planting portion of the machine, but fully

which the test was made was very dry and
hard, and yet the blowing was done we'll
much more regular and uniform than by the

By-and-By.


Rush madiy on, ye tempests OF Time,
Roll your black clouds over my head;
Shut out from my soul the light of the sun
Till my joys are all withered and fled;
Till the length min shadows grow deep and dark
And the stars all may fade from my sky,
And the waters roll over my fragile bark; ~
twill be over by y-and-by.
Through every June of my carth-born life
There sweeps a December blast, +h''
Till the green leaves die and tina roses fade,
Like the dreams of the long, long past;
Then Grief she weaveth her crown of thorns,
And turn with fearful eye, .f
To the land where love shall know no blight;
1t is coming by-and-by.
Then howl ye winds of my winters night,
1 will bare my head to your wrath,
And stand up alone while your fury pours
On my dark and desolate path;
He liveth who died on the cross for me,
And live in His loving eye;
I'm n bruised reed-but the summer land
shall reach il by-and-by.

The Settlers Escape.

Ihere are many lncluehts coh-
nected with the early settlement of
Kentucky, that have not as yet
been touched upon by the sketch
writer or the novelist, much as has
been written of those days; and
the following adventure, which we
now give to the reader, is one of
those that have for so long time
lain buried, and now for the first
time brought before the gaze of the
great public.
Among those that regarded them
selves as living within the confines
of Boonsborough, though so far
from the station that bore the name
of its founder as to be almost en-
tirely unprotected by it. was set
tier by the name or Dick Turner
He had built his cabin on the very
outskirts of the settlements, and,
with his wife and three children had
for two years lived in peace and
quietness, unmolested by the saw
ages that were at all times in great
er or less numbers abroad on the
war path.
Their nearest neighbor was half
mile away down the river, out OF
sight and hearing, and, had it not
been for the smoke that every
morning curled above the tree-tops,
one would not have known, stand
ing in the doorway, of Dick Turn
er's cabin, but that this was the
only settlement for miles around, for
on every side was the forest un-
broken and solemn as in the days
before Daniel Boone led the first
party of adventurers over the Cum
berland mountains.
One afternoon, the first of Au-
gust, rs Dick was at work in his
clearing land as it CHANGED at a
point as far from the cabin as was
possible for him to be without be-
ing in the forest), he was startled
by the sudden appearance OF half a
dozen Indians, hideous with war
paint, who surrounded him almost
before he could spring and grasp
his rife that he always carried into
the field when at work. ..v~
Startled by their sudden appear
ance, he made motion towards it
but heavy hand was laid upon his
shoulder, and its owner said in
broken English, "White man, &c
with u.s."
"No," said Dick, looking him full
in the face. "Can't do that; much
work to do"
And he pointed at what he had
been doing, and then casting wist-
full glance at his rifle, which was
now in the hand of one of the saw
ages.
"Come," said the savage, and who
appeared to be the leader, as wei
as the only one that knew a wore
of English, "White man must 60
Dick glanced towards the cabin
and saw his wife standing in the
doorway, apparently in great alarm
at his situation. The savages saw
her and after word or two be
tween themselves, three of then
started in that direction.
Unperceived by his captors, Dick
made a sign that his wife fortunate
ly understood, and she disappeared
within, closing the door in such
manner that the savages failed t.
gain admittance, as Dick saw to hi
great JOY when, after trying 1t for

In ancient times when God nad planned 5 Dslisssass fssiAis ezAssa.. .zrsa, z He gave leader fitted well, To guide his people, Israel faithful ruler Moses proved, Until, by death he was removed Then was the nation sore, bereaved, And long and sore the nation grieved. But while the people mourned for him, II Their God had not forgotten them, And unto Joshua, he said,
 Moses, my servant now is dead. '.To thee will I give strength and grace Henceforth to fill his vacant place." Then did the faithful Joshua, Humbly his Makers voice obey. He led the people forth to war, And showed his skill and valor there, In every conflict, firm he stood, Until he saw his foes subdued. Then did the land rejoice that heaven, So brave guide to them had given. Three thousand years have passed since then And still God ruleth over man. f One such we had when sorely tried, Whose name is still the nations pride, He served us faithful and well, Fill sudden at his post he fell. All through the land the tidings spread, Lincoln, our President is dead" Upon our grief we will not dwell, But hasten on with joy to tell, How in a warrior brave We found One who with wisdom doth abonnd His words are few, his wisdom great, He guideth we'll the ship of state. Then let us all give honor due, To Grant 50 good, go true, LITCHFIELD, Sept. 15, 1872.
