WATER! WATER!! WATER!!! 
WATER WITHOUT LABOR. 
AYRES’ WATER ELEVATOR. 
The most important Labor Saving Machine ever invented for 
the fanner, affording to cattle in stock-yards or pastures, an un¬ 
failing and abundant supply of Water in Summer oud Winter, 
without care or labor, or danger from frost. 
This apparatus may be applied to any common well not over 
forty feet deep, and may be operated by domestic animals of any 
weight, and in house-wells by women and children. 
The amount of water raised is one-tenth the weight of the 
animal. 
No implement in use will save so much labor on a farm, sup¬ 
porting twenty head of cattle, as will this simple contrivance. 
It is substantial, cheap, and can hardly get out of repair. The 
Elevator has obtained the great silver medal, and a special di¬ 
ploma from the United States Agricultural Society, tho silver 
medal of the New-York and Connecticut St ate Agricultural So¬ 
cieties, with the highest awnrds of the State Societies of Ohio 
and Illinois, and of the St. Louis Agricultural ami Mechanical 
Association, and of several other Societies, accompanied in 
every case by the most honorary reports of judges. 
The approbation, after critical investigation, of hundreds of 
thousands of people who have seen the machine tested ami in 
use by thousands of cattle at the Exhibitions of the year, has 
been unqualified, and the esteem in which it is held by parties 
who have it in actual use in their own yards, is all we desire. 
It meets every man’s want.

THE PAPER THAT HEVER SUSPENDS 
A Family Weekly—Devoted to Literature and the News, 
In these times of Bank suspensions and Mercantile suspen¬ 
sions, the proprietors of the Saturday Evenino Post call tho 
attention of the reading public to theirold and firmly-established 
weekly paper, as the paper that never suspends. For over 
THIRTY-SIX YEARS 
The Post has been published ; and in all that period—through 
“good times” and through ‘‘badtimes,” througlibank inflations 
and bank contractions, through prosperous seasons and through 
panics, The Post has been regularly issued every ween, and 
forwarded to its thousands of subscribers. Its proprietors 
therefore point to the past a* an unfailing index of the future. 
And they feel that in asking of the reading publio a continuance 
of the patronage heretofore so liberally bestowed upon The 
Post, they are asking no more than what it will be both the in¬ 
terest and the pleasure of that public to grant. 
Among the contributors to THE Post, we may mention the 
following gifted writers:— 
WILLIAM HOWITT, ALICE CARY. T. S. ARTHUR, 
GRACE GREENWOOD, ANNA BLACKWELL, AUGUS¬ 
TINE DUGANNE, MRS. M. A. DENISON, EMMA ALICE 
BROWNE, the Author of “AN EXTRA-JUDICIAL STA CE¬ 
MENT," the Author of “ ZILLAll , THE CHILD-MEDIUM ,” 
kc., &c., &.C. 
We design commencing in the first paper of January, an 
ORIGINAL 
NOVEEET, BY T. §. ARTHUR. 
Mr. Arthur’s productions are so widely known, that we need 
hardly say that the tone of the present Novelet will be entirely 
consistent with the moral and instructive character which we 
have always striven to impress upon The Pjost. Readers who 
wish to peruse the Flash Stories which abound in the land— 
pernicious and destructive in their tendency and effects—can 
find them, we regret to say, at every corner. But Thk Post 
will still maintain its high character, as a paper which the most 
scrupulous parent may allow freely to enter 
THE FAMILY CIRCLE; 
And which will purify and instruct, instead of demoralizing and 
corrupting, the youthful mind. Especially will its conductors 
&yoid. in the publication of the weekly news, all those long and 
disgusting reports—unfortunately now so common—of 
VIUB CRIMINAL CASES; 
Believing, as they do, that the practice of publishing the details 
of such loathsome cases, ami of the criminal trials resulting 
therefrom, is a fruitful cause of the recent alarming increase of 
vice,and crime in the community. Like begets like — and what 
the mind feeds upon, that it will grow to resemble. 
CHOICE SELECTIONS 
of all kinds, from the best foreign and domestic sources, 
shall continue to be, as heretofore, a leading feature of the Post. 
The Stories. Essays, Sketches, Agricultural and Scientific 
Facts, &c., etc., obtained in this way for the readers of The 
Post, are amoug the moat instructive as well as interesting por¬ 
tion of its contents, 
THE VERY CREAM 
of the periodical literature of the British Isles is thus 
given to our readers. The Post, weekly, has 
SOMETHING FOII ALL 
the members of the family. NOVELETS, ESSAY'S, STORIES, 
ENGRAVINGS, AGRICULTURAL ARTICLES, THE 
NEWS, SKETCHES, POETRY, ANECDOTES, KIDDLES.

NOTE LIST, kc. kc. kc. 
Finally, we may mention three good reasons why the reading 
public should give tho preference to The Post : — 
it is superior to any other taper of the same price. 
it IS CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER PAPER OF EQUAJ.jMERIT. 
IT WILL BE CERTAIN TO COME WHEN PAID FOR. *
