The scope of this work concerns Agricultural
Machinery, Wood, Metal. Glass, Stone, Clay,
Cement, and Leather Working; Mining, Hy-
draulic, Railway, Marine, and Military Engi-
neering; Working in Cotton. Wood, Silk, Flax,
Hemp, and Paper Steam, Air, and Gas En-
gines, and other Motors; Lighting, Heating,
Drying, and Ventilating; Fine Arts; Photo
graphic, Electric. Telegrnphic, Optical, Horo-
logical, Calculating, Surgical, and Dental In
struments, etc.
Its value, even II there were in print others of
a similar nature, would be very great on ac-
count of its scope, It's great number OF flustra-
tions, and the trustworthiness of its author I;
but at present its value is enhanced by the fact
that 1t has, properly speaking, no competitor.
There is published no book of similar intent
which Is at once so large, well illustrated, so
closely brought down TO the present time, and
so full Of illustrations. Dentists surgeons,
philosophers, chemists, engineers, mechanics,
and scientific men and students of every grade,
will find here described and illustrated more of
the instruments and machines peculiar to their
professions than can be found I'm well-funished
stores and manufactures; and they will also
fnd constant supplementary course Of in
struction so arranged as TO be available for in
slant reference. The work consists OF three
handsome octave volumes. and will be found
an invaluable book OF reference in the family,
the counting-room, and the workshop. No
better educational work could be placed before
children, adapted as 1t is to awaken a latent
taste which may have an important bearing
on their life career.
The work is sold by subscription, and persons
desiring to purchase II should address the Pub

Anticipation. .

Slanting across the fields of snow,
The westering sun makes haste To 90
This day, know is tried and sweet,
Tomorrow tires my tagging feet.
With many a pause OF happy rest
I've jOurneyed with To-day, my guest;
His stranger brother cannot be,
Methinks as gOOdly company
Holding in his mysterious hand
Gifts that will bless or blight my land
Tarry yet longer, fair To-day,
That bOding step an hour delay.
What songs have told my spirits cheer,
What sunlight warmed the glowing. year,
What dear companions round me hung,
While life, and love, and hope were young /!
These with tomorrow fade apace,
Like bloom from a beloved face;
And trusting half. yet half with dread
/ Question, "What shall be instead ?"
The sun drops deeper, night is chill
The oracles seek are still;
NOn herald star which glitters low
Seems beclSOning on the way go.
Tomorrow? All, that door doth ope
A new celestial path TO Hope.
More than ask or dream must be,
In Gods tomorrow keep for me.

Diseases Of the Kidneys, Bladder, ETC., are al
ways unpleasant, and at times they become
the most distressing and dangerous diseases
that can affect the human system. Most dis
eases Of the Kidneys arise from impurities in
