IQ2 FROM A NEW ENGLAND HILLSIDE. 



thoughts, and perhaps recall, or have a rev 

 elation of the fact, that salvation does not 

 come to masses, but to individuals. We are 

 an inventive people, and we have machines 

 performing a great variety of operations ; 

 but, so far as we have heard, none has 

 yet been received at the patent office war 

 ranted to make the world over again as 

 good as new, but upon a different plan ; and 

 we would suggest to the various philoso 

 phers who are busily employed in devising 

 such machines that an honest day s work 

 can be much more easily and effectively 

 performed by strengthening, polishing, and 

 lubricating the machinery already in use, 

 and by doing themselves, and inducing 

 others to do, a little more faithful labour 

 than has been hitherto accomplished. These 

 are homely remedies, but wholesome, like 

 the cooling herbs of our grandmothers, more 

 reliable than any patent medicines, and 

 likely to prove more efficient than the drugs 

 of Debs, Bellamy, Most, et id genus omne.
