America devoted to the interests of those classes; but is Locks for fire-arms, Ethan Allen, Norwich, Ct.: particularly useful to Farmers, as it will not only. apprise Aug. 3. them of impruvements in agricultural implements, but INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.-Of the three greatest difficulties which have hitherto been encountered in the construction of !Iteam carriages for or· Cuss XX.-Surgical and medical inst�m-en!s, iustruct them in various mechanical trades, lind guard din ary travelling on common roads, and for agricultural service, the first is the excessive weight of the ordinary and only kind of steam. engines including trusses, dental instruments, bathmg m­Ulem against impositions. As a family newspaper, it will convey more useful intelli!(cncc to children and and boilers which have been in use. The second is the d ifficulty of adjusting the power to the occasion, so as to ascend hills with the same quantity struments, etc. young people, than five times its cost in school instruc- of power that is required for level ground ; and the third, the want of some method whereby the power can be equalized in its application to Apparatus for vapor baths, A. C. Haynes, Platts-tion. Another important argument in favor of this pa- the driving wheels, so as to apply an equal force to each wheel, without regard to the relative motion thereof', or, to be more explicit, so as to burg, N.J.: Dec. 4. per, is, that it will be worth two dollllrs at the end of the ' . . . .

Each shaft terminates in two branches, which are connected to two opposite arms of an intervening four-armed cross : each arm terminating in a pivot, which is inserted in olle of the branches, of the �hafts, It will be readily seen that by this arrange­ment, the motion of one shaft will be communicated to the other, even if the two shafts vary in direction forty-five degrees, Each shaft should ha ve a bearing as nearly as possible to the. joint.

Labor. BY M RR. FRANCES -So OSGOOD.

Pause not to dream of the future before us ; Pause not to weep the wild cares that eome o'er uS i Hark, how Creation's deep, musical chorus

Unintermitting, goes up into Heaven ! Never the ocean wave falters in 110wing ; N eyer the little seed stops its growing ; More lind more richly the Rose-heart keeps glowini,

Till from its nourishing stem it is riven.

" Labor is worship !" the robin is singing ;

" Labor is worship !"-the wild bee is ringing. Li�ten that eloquent whisper upspringing

Speaks to my soul from out nature's great heart.

From the dark clouds Hows the life-giving shower; From the rough sod blows the soft breathing Hower ;

From the smsll insect, the rich eoral bower ;

Only man, in the plan, shrinks from his part.

Labor is life :...,.'Tis the still water falleth ;

Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth ; Keep the watch wound, for the dark rust assai.eth !

Flowers droop and die in the stillness of nOOD, Labor is glory ! the l1yiDI cloud lightens; Only the waving wing changes and brightens j Idle hearts only the dark future frightens ;

Play the sweet keys,wouldst thon keep them intune. Labor is rest from the sorrows that greet us ; Rest from all petty vexations that .eet liS, Rest from sin-promptings that ever entreat u�,

Rest from world-syrens that lure U8 to ill. Work-and pure slumbers shall wait on thy pillow ;. Work-thou shalt ride over Care'� coming billow ; Lie not down wearied 'neath Woe's weeping willow;

Work with a stout heart and resolute will.

Droop not tbo' shame, sin, and anguish are round thee ; Bravely ding oft· the cold chain that hath bound thee ; Look to yon pure Heaven smiling beyond thee.

Rest not content in thy darkness-a clod. Work-for some good, be it ever so lowly ; Cherish some Hower,-,be it ever �o lowly ;

Labor ! All labor is noble and holy ; Let worthy deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

Romanislll vs. t.he Bible. D O WLING'S HISTOR Y OP R OMANlSM.

Just published, the aeventh edition of " Dowling's His­tory of Romanism," with fifty beautiful engravings j-thi! is a large octavo volume, of nearly 700 pages, in hand­some emblematic binding.

The pUbli5her returns his thanks to the Protestant puh­lic, for the extensive patronage they bave bestowed on this timely production. It is but little more than three months since its first publication, during which short space of time, six editions nave been entirely exlJausted. It is evident that this faithful account of the traditions, vain ceremonies and customs, and the cruel practices of the church of Rome,-not against unbelievers, but in­flicted on the very meJpbers of Christ's true church,-i� destined to reach the fireside or every Protestant aDd candid and inquiring Romaniat tbroua-hout our land.

THIS Pen received the highe�t premium Ilt the last Fair of the American Institute, and hilS been pronounct'll by the first teachers of Penmanshid in the country to be infinitely sllperior to any Gold Pen ever before introdu­ced to the American public. The lasting properties of this Pen are u ndoubted, owing to the total absence of corrosibiJity from any of the inks in use, and the pecu­lillT lIbade of the nib/;:, (which was fint introduced by Bagley, (makes .it.more pleasant to . \tse, renders it less liable to damage, more aasy to repair, ,and prevents the neeenity of the great care that other artieles of the kind rllqnirll.
