A PUBLIC BLESSING.
T HESE PILLS have long been known
'and appreciated, for their extraordinary
% and immediate' powers of restoring perfect
health to persons suffering under nearly every
kind of disease to which the human frame is
liable. lThey ate particularly recommended to
all those persons who are afflicted with any kind
of a ch-ontc op lingering complaint, as there is
no medicine before-the public which has so
natural and happy effect upon the system in
correcting the stomach and liver, and to the
foimation of healthy chyle and thereby purify
S i g the blood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, to be not only
the most mild a'd pleasant in their operation,
but the tiost perfectl) innocent, safe and ,'tli
cient medicine ever offs r-ed to the pu!'lic.
Those who once - make a trial of these Pills,
never afterwaids feel willing to be without
them, and call again and again for wore, which
is sufficrent proof of'their good qualities
H E A .IClIE-SICK OR NERVOUS..
Those who have suffered and are weary of
su'ffering 'ith this distressing complaint, will
find Spencer's Vegetable Pills a remedy at once
certain and immediate in its effects. One sin
gle dose of the Pills, taken soon as the head
ache is felt coming on, will cute it in one-half
hour entirely.
As a remedy. intsummer and bowel complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admii
ration, and are far superior to any thing in use
for these complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.they stand
unrivaied. Many have been cred in a few
weeks, after having suffered utader the dread
ful complaint fou years
Iu abitual rostiveness they are decidedly
superior to any Vevetable Pill ever brought be
fore the public ; and one 25 cent box wall es
tablish their surprising -irtes. and place them
beyond the reacn of doubt in the estimation of
every individual.
They are- invaluable in nervous and hypo
chondriacal affections, loss of appetite, and all
complaints to which females alone aresubject.
.They are mild in their -action, and . convey
almost immediate conviction of their ultility
flom the first dose. They may be taken by
persons of any age ; and the feeble, the infirm,
the nervous and delicate are strengthened by
their uperatiomn. because they clear the systetn
of bad humors. quiet nervous irritability, and
invarm*ly pri.dne sound health.
Utwards of three hundred and seveny thou
sand boxces of these inestimable Pilh have been
sold within the last twelve months in thaee
States alone, and inore than three times the
P saine qiiatitity in other States.
*As ad amiu bilious medicine, no family should
be without them. A sinigle trial of theni is
more satisfactory than a thousand aertificates.

DISHONEST SUBSCRIBERS.
No class of men in thi. country toil as
hard and receive as little lor;their labor as
'editors and publishers of newspapers.
Au outlay at the cotmmenrement, iii some
cases, of thousands of dollars for material
wherewith to'establish their publicatiunst
in addition to heavy advances for paper,
help and other expenses, makes together
a sotn, which it invested in almost any
other business, would with comparatively
little lubor. yoi-i at prolir suffici -t for a
t. ing, and fornish netcitnng (or the sup
port and comforts of old age. The pu'i
lish:r of a new.-paper, in the various du
ties n hich lie has to perform as editor,
&c., rise early, and takes rest late-lie is
always on the lookout for somethiz:g to in
struct or amuse-he lives out as other
nen--he has no time for relaxation, and
yet he seldom gets rich, or has rouey
enough at all times fur a comfortable pros
ectouni of his business. Why is it so?
The seller of that which only adorns the
body, grows rich;-the manufacturer of
gew gaws, and persona engaged in the
various other trades and professions, grow
rich-the dealer in alcoholic drinks, who
furnishes that which is destructive of peace
here and hereafter, grows rich, while the
editor toils and toils for the good of his
fellow men. until old age creeps upon him
unawares, and he drops into die tomb,
without, in many cases, leaving sufficient
to defray the expenses of a decent burial.
We ask again. n by is it so! How is
it that lie who labors for thousands, who
duos so much to please, instruct and bene
fit mankiud -the daily or weekly exhibi
tion of whose efforts are looked after and
devoured with greedy appetites by- the
multitude, should thus he made to stug.
gle under the weight of pecuniary diffi
culties when others sho-e occupations are
divested of all that is noble, yea whose
buiness is a curse to the community, are
prosperou.' The aner is plain and
simple. It is in consequence of the dis
honesty of newspaper subscribers
We hate known a man to neglect to
pay his bill for a newspaper which has
teen a nelcomne visitor to his dwelling fur
years-the companion of his lo:iely nife
the instructor of his children-when du-.
ring the same time lie ha drank ten and
perhaps twenty tines the amount in in
toxicating drinka! Yes, virtually refuse
to pay for that which has afforded lusttuc
tion and entertainnent, and appropriate
the amount to the payment of alcoholic
liquor-thus robbing the editor and en
riching the ruin seller! Others will pay
every other debt before they will pay for
their papers-while others never intend to
pay, if they can possibly avoid doing so.
Every expedient is resorted to for the putt
pose of procrastinating the settlement of
their bills. the most cuttmon excuse te
ing "I have hot had the paper regularly."
It matters not that a carrier. in defiance
of storms, has never failed to appear at
the door of the subscriber, amd fui hfully
depo.iced within the paper, or that the 1t
bor of parking anti nailing is punctu:ally
performed by the elitur himself; if per
chance, the paper by any tneans escapes
the person for whom it i-s intended. in a
single instance, itis deemed by many ant
excuse sutficient to refuse the payment of
six months suhscriltion. or perhaps the
repudiation of the a5 hole bill. We might
fill a column of our paper nith' a descrip
tion of the petty tricks of dishonest suh
scribers to avoid the payment of their
honest dues. and give nites of individu
alt who have thus disgraced themselves,
but for the present we foirbear. Theire is
oue trick, however whii-h we cannot
help, noticinig; and th~is is, the practice of
receiving a newspap~er b~y tnail or othier
wise, unitil a debt is incurred of six,
twelve, or twenity four months subscrip
lion. and theni utnblushtinely insulting the
publisher .by causitig noitce to lie given

Legitimate Steam Engines and Steam
Engines in Breeches.-We advise ever.
one interested in the progress of events in
this city, to go to pier No 4 .North river.
Thev ,will there see time knocked into a
cocked bat, at least so far as loading ships
is concerned. The large ship Rissell
Glover is. at that pier, and Captain How
es began the operation of Idading her one
day last week. While his stevedores
were engaged in the slow process of
stowing away the cargo, alive Yankee,
scanning five feet eight inches in his
bouots, stepped dp to Captain Howes and
said
0I rather guess, stranger, it takes some
tinme to load a ship, with thet are men,
don't it ?"
"Why, yes," replied the captain; "it
takes sowe time, but we cannot do it any
linter"
'-You don't say so," said the Yankee.
"W ell, I will tell you what it is, I can
load this ship in a day, and no mistake."
"You can!" exclaimed Captain Howes,
giving the Yankee a look, and putting on
one his most comical smiles.
"Yea," continued the Yankee. "I
have got a -critter that will throw them
goods into your ship in less than no time;
and I guess I'll try, if you have no objec
tion."
"None in the least," said the. Captain,
looking rattier dubiously on the Yankee.
"If you wish to bead the ship you can."
Early next mbrning, much to the aston
ishment of Captain Howes, who. though
he should never see the Yankee agian, a
curious looking machine, somewhat like
a locomotive in appearance, came down
to the.pier, with the live Yankee oa top
getting up steam. He run it close up to
the ship, arranged the tackle and corn:
menced hoisting in the cargo with a puff
-puff'-pull'before the captain crew, or
stevedores, had time to collect together
their scattered senses. And there the lit
tle steam engine, attended by the Yankee,
is-vow at work,, pulling as saucily as a
locomotive, tipping bales and boxes into
the hold of the Russell Glover, almost a
ton weight at each puff, w'th nore case,
with greater facility, and three times Us
fast as the stevedores, with horses, could
do before the live Yankee made the ac
quaiutauce of Captain Howes.. It has
teen found--impossible to stow.-the gouod

This-machine is a great improvement
on the old system. It saves time, and in
that way saves money, and it not only saves
in:e, but it saved ment also.--Not so ma
ny by one half are necessary to load a
snip, and thus money is saved both in
time and labor.
In connection with this machine, in
the annihilation of time and labor, there is
one for the construction of rail roads that
far exceeds it in power and utility: This
is called the "Excavator;" and we saw it
t operation a few weeks ago in Fra ce.
It goes by steam, loatks like an old fashion
ed locomoitve and has a power equal i
fifteen or twenty hiorse. This machine
was invented by Mr. J. W. Cochrane,
whose famous many chantbered eagoii

A Floating Railroad.-A Cideinati
correspondena .of the. Newtark Morning
Post giv,-s the following description of a
new inventioni.
gi was recently'invited to witness tha
operation of the tmodel of a mrrchine (fo
boat it cotuld not be called,) to navigate on1
inland waters. The inventor a young mat
of t'iis place, and as is usual ini such cases
is very etthusiastio in his expectations o
its capabilities and powers. -He -says
that the passage hence to Pitsbturgh (50
tmiles)cani easily he preformed by daylight
It may .very-properdy he denominated I
Bloating rail road-or a rail road which lay
its own track and takes it up again' whel
the passage over it has been made. I; tm':
'be .thusi descrihed, a series ofoblong, ai
and water, tight sections of any'reqire
leng'h, breadth .and depth are finaly~ se
curedeido by side. upon an endloss chair
this chaiu isdisiended to its utmost, upon
a- scale of cast iron -wheels, supp'irted by
s'af:s upon a suitable (lame work. These
wheels are put into motion by the means
of the steam engine. The frame work.
with its engine, boilers and wheels, may
be called.the locomotive; the chain, with
its water floating power of-water tight sec
tions,. the railroad. When it is placed up
ott the water, and the engineer are put in
motion, the endless chain, in successiot
are carried forward and enter the water,
each doing it, part in supporting the fabric,
and are again taken up in their endless
round at the stern wheel. One very
novel characteristic of this machine, is, it.
adaptation to either water or land, so that
it need not he retarded by sand bars or low
water. This is obvious when it is observed,
that the floats or sections, during the time
they are beneath ihe frame work, and of
course supporting the -whole do not ad
vance at all but remain stationary, while
the a heels pass over thent. when they leave
the water or land, however they go rapidly
forwatd to redeem theiri places on the for
ward part of the craft and to hear up the
Structure, upon the frame work which sup
ports the en gine, &c., and shaove the clai
and flo;tts. 'The cabin for the atcotirndatioti
of passengers is to be created. That this
thing will move rapidly through or oval
the wter I have no doubt, but thintk the
enthusiastic iuventor has over estimated
its powers, or set too low an estima'e upon
the resistance it a ill meet with from the
element through which it has to pas.
Power of Music on Nightingalea-In
t.he gardeus of Dilgusha. at Shiraz, in
Persia, nightingales are said to abound.
which not only sing during the night, hut
whose plainttve melody is not by day
suspended in the East, as in our colder
region; and it is said that several of those
birds have expired while contending with
musicians in . the loudness or variety of
their notes. It has, indeed, been known,
according to Pliny. that in vocal trials
among nightingales, the vanquished bird
terminated its song only with its life.
An intelligent Persian, who repented
this story amain. iiiid Peiniilted iris to
write it down from his lips, declared that
he had more than odco been presetu
when a celebrated lutanist, Ilirza Mo
hammnted. surnamed lialtab, was playing
to a large company in a grove near Shi
raz. where he distinctly saw the nightin.
gales trying to yie with the musician;
sometimes warbling on tlie trees, front
branch to branch. as if they wished to
approach the instrument whence the -nel
ody p:oceeded; and at length, dropping
on the grodtd in a kind of eesta1Cy frot
which ho assured me they were ston rai
sed by a change in the mode. And in
one of Strada's Academical Prolusions
we find at beautiful poem which tends to
cotlirt the Persian, reports fdr it suppo
sea the spirit of cumulation so powterful'in
the nightingale, that, having strained her
little throat, vainly endeavoring to excel
the musician, she breathes oat her life in
one last effort. and drops upon the instru
ment thich had contributed to her defeat.
Queer Calculation.-Somne angtila ge

I have received from the hands of iy

Trade is Guano Manure.-dre .opy
from the Greenock Advertieer the follosr
ing paragraph relating to an expedition to
the Southern-sens in search of riches in
the hape of manure for the soil:
"For some tiie past " kind of secret
expedition has been fitting out at this port,
and the vessels that have alleady ailed
are under scaled oriler-s, hhich are no, to
be ope-ned until the ships have, reached a -
given latitude and tilgitude across the
line. In spite of the ecrecy that has
been observed, It is dow becoming well
known that the the expedition has sailed
for an island said to be somewhere to the
east of the.Cape of dood Hope; and the.
speculation is likely to bt not mdoly a l:u-;
crative one of those engaged in it, but
will be of immense benefit to the agricul
turalist, a- well as tt the hijplug and
commerci:l interest4 of the country. Ilt
is said that the island in question contains.
Guano of a richer description tho any -
hitherto known here. Several 4esls
have already sailed - edin this port with"
inpleteuts, of every desaciption, and mo
ses boats, constructed for the purpase of
carrying the cargo from the shore to the
ship+, viz: Irishman, barrows;.shovels,
pickaxes, &c. A number of other ships,
all of large burthen, are about to fellow.
In London and Liverpool, vessels are- -
fitting out for the same destination, butt.
the Clyde shippers have had the siarr,
add we trust will benefit by it. As, he
prise of Guano is at present about .!4
per ton, the speculators bid fair to iiiwke=
an etceltent thing of it, as they will ba'e.
the c;irgo for tho taking. We understiid
the speculators are two meserantile firms
in Glasgow, who have chartered the ve"
sel."
A Toper's.Address to his Pdt Companions.
Topers, drunkards,. bear m-, for your
own sakes, lay aside Your tankards, that
you may hear me, believe me; for four
own- welfare, and .have.respectfor: yon
welfare, th-at you may believe :7cen-ure
me in your sober monehis. &bd be sober
that you may the beter ,judge. If there
he any around this table. any dear liver 6f
nrdenr spirits. to him I -av that Stingo's
love of urdent spirits was id less than his.
If. then. that lo"er demand why Stingo
rose against ard-nt spirit+, this is my ad
swer; not that I loved ardent spirits less,
but that I loved heitlah and a sound consti
tu:ion more. Had you rather the ardent
spirts were ruling and die all rum burnt
knaves, ian that ardent spirits were edd.
demned, to live stoit, hardy, yeoiden?
As ardent spirits we're pleasant, I ranted
them ; as they tere exhilarating, I sipped
them ; asthaey recruied my spirits. I drank
therm ; bin as they were ruin ous, I speded
them. There are tastes for their pleasat
ness, sips, for their exhilaration, drams
for their tecuitiog power, out banishment
and detestation for their ruinous tenden
cy. Who ii here so brutal as woutld be A*
drunka-d ? If any gulph-hrecup--reel
-for hun have I offended. Who is here
so brutal as would be a aiaggrgry? If
any,. t.rawl, for hinm have I offe'nded. Who
is here so mad a% will not mind his health.
If any, let fever speak his burning rage
tur him have I offended. I pause for a
reply. None ?: Then none have I offen- -
ded. I have dlone. no more to ardent spir.
its, t han you should do to, Stingo. Thie act
of their banishment Is recorded on the pri.
vate pages of Singo'sjmurnal; their useful
ness not extenuated, wherein thej were'
worthy; nor tire injurous tendcncy enforced
for which they were biatrished.
