The Proprietors of liie New England Agricultural Wi 

 house and Seed Store No, 51 and"52 Norlh Market sir 

 would inform their cuslnmers and the public {generally l 

 they have on hand the most extensive assortmeni of A 

 culliiial and Horticultural Tools in he found in ihe Uni 

 Slates. Part of which are ihe following: 



tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see who 

 this intruder was ; when lo ! I beheld the most 

 beautiful creature the earth could boist ! 



As soon as I had partially recovered' from my 

 fright, she addressed me thus : " I have long watch- 

 ed yon, and heard your sighs for mo — but have 

 never had n favorable opportunity till iiiiw to ad- 

 dress you. You sigh for the novelties and pleas- 

 ures of this dazzling world ; you despise -those 

 musty books ; and you are, in fact, precisely like 

 me. So come with me, and I will show you- my 

 treasures and palaces." 



I complied. She led me through street after 

 street, and lane after lace — when at last we reach- 

 ed a house beautiful in appearance, but poorly 

 constructed. Hire I was about toetilor, when my 

 attention was attracted by a low wbispor. I lis- 

 tened, and heard the following pithy maxim — 

 " Look before you leap." I did, and judge "f "ly 

 astonishment, when I turned to ask my Ci^nductress 

 the mcnning of those words, I behold hor, changed 

 to her original form, and instead of a pleasant and 

 smiling face, nothing remained but a malicious 

 grin of triumph, with pride and self-esteem depict- 

 ed on her haggard countenance. 



I was now at a loss what to do, when I was re- 

 lieved by the approach uf a nynipli, at whole ap- 

 pearance my enchuntress vanished. " Had 1 not 3^,0,, 

 come," said l^oarning, (for that was her name) 

 " what would have been your fate. Ignorance only 

 knows, as none return when oucc they have crosi- 

 ed her threshhold."

 applied lo any implemcnl lor lliis purpose. The nin 

 inent effects of this application, and some of the cui 

 peculiarities of the machine are -. 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum ol power 1 

 to use it, thai the strength of a bah grown boy is ^ 

 to work it elficiently, 



2. With even this moderate power, il easily cuts n 

 els a minute, which is full twice as fast as bus hen 

 by any other machine even when worked by hortc 1 

 power, 



3. The knives, owing 10 the pcculiarmanner in wl 

 cut, require sharpening less oflen than those ot ai 

 straw culler, 



4. The machine is simple in its ennslraclion, made 

 together very slroiiRly. It is therefore nol so liul.l
