On! say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, 
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming? 
Whose broad stripes and bright Stars, through the perilous fight, 
O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming; 
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. 
Oh ! say, does that Star Spangled Banner still wave, 
O’er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave ? 
On the shore dimly seen, through the mists of the deep. 
Where the foe’s haughty host, in dread silence reposes; 
What is that which the breeze, o’er the lowering steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ? 
How it catches the gleam, of the morning’s first beam, 
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream. 
’ Tis the Star Spangled Banner, oh ! long may it wave, 
O’er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave. 
And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore. 
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, 
A Home and a Country shall leave us no more ? 
Their blood hath washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution. 
No refuge could save, the hireling and slave, 
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave. 
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, 
O’er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave. 
Oh ! thus be it ever, when Freemen shall stand. 
Between their loved home, and the war’s desolation ; 
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heaven rescued land, 
Praise the Power that hath made and preserv’d us a Nation. 
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, 
And this be our motto, “In God is our trust;” 
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, 
O’er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave. 
THE LAST OF THE MAGICIANS. 
In the early summer, when the leaves 
were in all their delicious freshness, Lau- 
rentius, after the toils of the day, quitted 
the city of Hserlem, and wandered forth 
into the neighboring fields. As ho saunter¬ 
ed along, the sounds of the distant popu¬ 
lace grew fainter on his ears, and the beau¬ 
ty of Nature beneath the sotting sun awak¬ 
ened a train of thoughts connected with 
the passing glories of the scene before 
him, and the instability and changes that 
seem combined with the very nature of all 
that is fair and beautiful. 
There came over him saddening reflec¬ 
tions, recalling the languor of his own little 
Lotchon, and ho thought how gradually her 
smile, liko the light of a twilight sky, grew 
fainter and fainter. Much he feared all 
would bo dark soon—dark to him; that his 
child herself would bo a shadow; her voice 
but a fairy song, an echo fleeting farther off 
in his memory, till it mingled, and was lost 
forever, in tho murmurs of the infinite Past. 
lie had striven to minister to her com¬ 
forts and amusements, yet toys, and even 
flowers, were neglected now, or yielded but 
a momentary pleasure ; and so the gloom 
deepened upon him—upon all: for this was 
not his only grief; ever as the child droop¬ 
ed more and more, there came anguish over 
the countenance of another, whom he loved 
dearer than life itself. 
Laurentius had begun to instruct his 
Lotchon in tho rudiments of reading. She 
had learned with avidity, at least in days of 
health and vigor; and even that morning, 
reminding him of some manuscript which 
ho had shown her, with its illuminations and 
large initial letters; she had besought him 
to design for her some of its words, that she 
might keop them by her, and look at them, 
and learn them—when she was well again. 
In his walk, ho heard a bird singing in a 
wood close by; it was a merry strain, but it 
made him sadder, if possible, for it remind¬ 
ed him of a time not long ago, on that very 
spot, when, with a fair companion on his 
arm, ho momentarily led her aside, and 
pointed out to her in living letters her own 
gentle name, carved on the bark of a young 
tree. 
Now, thinking also to gratify his child, 
stepping out of the path ho engraved some 
letters on the rind of a beech-tree. 
He would have carved her name, too— 
‘•Lotchon”—but his hand slipped at the 
second letter, so he made it another word. 
Then, cutting a square of bark from tho tree 
ho folded it in a piece of paper, and returned 
home. 
Pleased was tho little girl when she heard 
her father’s step, and she stretched out her 
hand to take his present. But, even as ho 
told her of the carvod letters, her eyes be¬ 
came dim, and she said she was “ a weary,” 
and then, as she saw her mother turn away, 
and her father looked strangely at her, sho 
put out her hand feebly for tho lettors, and, 
placing them beneath her pillow, said she 
“ would look at them by-and-by ;” and no 
i doubt she did so, for sho had become, during 
her illness, an angel in truth and gentleness; 
but it must have been in Heaven that she 
j read them, for she diod that night! 
1 Laurentius bowed down with grief; but. 
after a time, ho arose and went to his usual 
occupation ; and, one day, casting his eyes 
upon the cover, in wnich ho had wrapped 
the beech rind, ho perceived thot tho cut 
edges of tho letters had stained the out¬ 
lines of a word upon the paper. That word 
was “Light”—tho talisman that led to a 
mighty discovery—the “ open sesame ” of an 
infinite store room of thought and of intel¬ 
ligence. 
Thus runs the tale—for it is an old one, 
and in telling it wo have indulged in a few 
particulars— thus was Printing invented. 
But not to IlEerlem only, but to Mentz and 
to Strasburg has been assigned the honor of 
this discovery. Very earnest at one time 
was the controversy, and each locality had 
certain pretensions to enforce. 
Laurentius sometimes called “Coster,” 
from his office in tho Cathedral at Hacrlem, 
has the prior claim. From tho rude hints 
he had now obtained, he perfected a sort of 
press or rather wooden stamp, on which he 
cut his letters. He impressed one side of 
his sheets only, pasting the unlettered sur¬ 
faces together, to render their appearance 
more sightly. The earliest of his essays 
was long considered to be a work entitled 
Speculum JYos tree Salutis ; subsequently, 
however, a book was discovered, supposed 
to be the first specimen of printing. It was 
an Horarium, impressed on parchment, of 
eight pages only, containing the Alphabet, 
tho Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed, and 
three other prayers. It was tho rudest thing 
in the world—such as the first specimen in 
a new discovery might indicato—as primi¬ 
tive almost as the first steam engine. It 
had no numbers to the leaves—no distinc¬ 
tive marks or points : tho lines wore uneven, 
and of various lengths ? nay, tho very shape 
! of the pages differed, some being rhomboi- 
j dal, somo square, some angular. This 
i might be about A. n. 1430. 
Previous to this era, wood engravings, a 
j sister art, had been invented. In connec- 
j tion with it, a curious circumstance has come 
| to light. 
j The earliest supposed specimen, bearing 
j date a. p. 1423, was a representation of St. 
j Christopher carrying tho infant Jesus.— 
j However, about seven years sinco,an ancient 
j print was discovered at Malines, on tho lid 
j of an old chest, of a religious subject, dated 
! a. d. 1418. It was purchased for twenty 
j pounds, bv tho conservator of tho ltojal 
j Library in Brussels, and is a far more cu- 
; rious and better finished specimen than that 
j of St. Christopher, which is, we believe, in 
the possession of Earl Spencer. 
Playing cards are said to bo of an earlier 
date—first painted, they were supposed to 
be printed towards tho end of tho fourteenth 
century. Hence sprang tho engraving of 
the immages of saints on wood. 
Hajrlem was not long permitted to boast 
the undisputed possession of so valuable an 
art as printing. The invention, in spite of 
all attempts to conceal its nature, was 
pirated. It is generally supposed that a 
workman of Laurentius fled to Strasburg. 
At all events, Geinsfleich, alleged to be the 
older brother of Guttenburg, set up a print¬ 
ing machine in connection with the latter, 
in that town. This undertaking, however, 
appears to have been fruitless—nay, utteriy 
failed — for thei’e is no proof of any book 
being printed at Strasburg till after a. d. 
1462, tho dato of the general dispersion of 
the printers. 
Guttenburg shortly afterwards made his 
appoaranco at Mentz. This city was un¬ 
doubtedly tho scene of that improvement 
in the art which amounted to second inven¬ 
tion, and endued it with a vitality which 
may be said to have rendered it immortal. 
It was the application of movable metal 
types, instead of tho old, fixed wooden ones 
—an improvement still further enhanced 
by tho use of cast, instead of cut letters; 
and here for the first time appears on the 
scene John Fust, or Faust. 
Faust, or Faustus, is a name memorable 
alike in truth or fablo. Marlow and Goethe, 
in undying verse, have immortalized their 
hero; but tho Faust of history is no less 
famous, and stands forth, in connection with 
tho superstition and fears of an age that 
saw in his perfection of a wonderful art, 
something ominous of an alliance with the 
Enemy of Mankind. 
With John Guttenburg, did Faust, an 
eminent and enterprizing citizen of Mentz, 
associate himself as a partner in the first 
printing press ; while his own energies and 
pecuniary resources, combined with tho skill 
and practical knowledge of his coadjutor, 
soon gave that significancy to the discove¬ 
ry that immediately rendered it famous 
throughout the world. Wonderful as was 
tho power of Thought, it might bo said to 
have now acquired an omnipresent and all 
peryading vitality. Hitherto, the discove¬ 
ries of science, and the experience of tho 
profoundost minds, were but indented upon 
sand, which every deluge of barbarism was 
certain to efface; now , a security was given 
to man — a sort of ark — which should se¬ 
curely float down the tide of Time to the 
remotest ages; not only preserving within 
it all that was most precocious in intellec¬ 
tual acquisition, but containing a tailsman 
which should stay, or at least divide, tho 
stormiest waters, so that the good and the 
true should henceforth pass dry-shod and 
unharmed among them I 
John Faust, citizen of Mentz, having 
amassed considei’ablo wealth by commercial 
pursuits, became stimulated by a nobler am¬ 
bition than that of more acquisition, and 
was desirous of devoting his fortune and his 
energies to some system which, though it 
might benefit him in a pecuniary view,should 
also conduce to the intellectual and physical 
advantages of his fellow men. Long, how¬ 
ever, did ho muse in his search for an ef¬ 
ficient mode of carrying his project into 
effect. 
One evening, as the shades of twilight 
were descending, and ho sat alone, deeply 
absorbed in thought, upon looking up, ho 
beheld a tall dark, form bofore him. There 
was an ominous light in the eyes, and a wild 
intelligence on the dusky brow of the stran¬ 
ger, but on his sunken cheeks wore care, and 
unrequited toil, and famine. 
With scarcely a word of apology for his 
intrusion; with somo muttered exclamation 
that ho had “ at length found tho man he 
had long been in quest of,” Guttenburg—for 
ho it was—unfolded a small packet, and 
spread upon tho table some pieces of metal. 
Faust looked, rather than asked, for an ex¬ 
planation. Tho stranger placed the dies 
in a kind of stamp, painted tho surface of 
tho letters—for such they were—with a dark 
fluid, produced a piece of vellum, and im¬ 
pressed upon it a short sentence. He re¬ 
peated the operation several times, on each 
occasion comparing the reults. He then dis¬ 
played a printed page—nay, several print¬ 
ed pages—identical in form, words, and 
points; such as no scribe could imitate or 
repeat—such' as only could be performed 
by somo new and wonderful art, or by 
magic. 
When Faust had sufficiently admired the 
production, he exclaimed that “such a beau¬ 
tiful invention must bring its own reward, 
and that its authors must speedily become 
independent of the wealthy and of the 
great.” 
The stranger made no reply. He took 
from his vest a small lamp, of a construc¬ 
tion that seemed to combine the excellencies 
of all the latest improvements ; ho touched 
the wick with a match, it lightod up, stream¬ 
ing through the apartment, now darkened 
by the shades of evening, then instantly 
went out. 
“ It wants oil—it has none,” said Faust. 
“ Behold tho lamp!” replied Gutten¬ 
burg. again spreading tho metal type be¬ 
fore Faust. “ It wants oil—will you sup¬ 
ply it ?” 
“ I will.” 
That night the bargain was struck—the 
compact signed—the lamp was lighted ! 
That lamp had the power of infinite mul¬ 
tiplication. From a littlo star, it became to 
tho world a sun ; it pierces through the 
thickest clouds of moral and mental 
darkness ; it was soon reflected by other 
lamps, of more or loss intensity, throughout 
tho civilized world. 
For some years Faust and Guttenburg 
labored together. Though not tho inven¬ 
tors they stamped this art with a utility that 
rendered it universal. It was, in many 
senses, a fearful innovation ; it swept away 
whole centuries of conventional rights and 
monopolies. Soon, however, it directed it¬ 
self to mightier and loftier objects. 
These were tho magicians, and at one 
timo it appeared they would have experi¬ 
enced the fate of all supposed confederates 
with the power of darkness. 
Our Faust did not shut himself up with 
Wagner, to discourse of “ dry philosophy,” 
nor roam the world at large with Mephis- 
tophilis, to indulge in luxury, or share the 
witches’ banquet; but ho had leagued him¬ 
self with tho unknown, mysterious Gutteri- 
burg, and that was nearly as bad. Ho 
wielded a power which shook tho conven¬ 
tional world to its foundation. 
When the first productions of tho two 
printers camo out, wo are told they created 
a vast sensation. Men could not sufficiently 
admire and wonder at the new art; tho most 
accurate scribes, and tho best judges of chi- 
rography, wore astonished at tho exact simil¬ 
itude of each copy of an impression ; they 
had no idea of the means—at least the 
greater portion of them—by which this 
identity of character was produced, for tho 
operations of the printing press were guard¬ 
ed and watched over with jealous and mys¬ 
terious solicitude. 
If Faust eschewed magic, we cannot deny 
but that heiloved mystery. Thus, in a most 
splendid edition of Tulip s CJffices which is¬ 
sued from his establishment, ho declared, in 
an appendix that “ The book was not execu¬ 
ted by means of ink, nor a quill, nor a bra¬ 
zen pen, but by a wonderfully beautiful 
art !” 
Books, and editions of books, were now 
published from tho press at Montz, com¬ 
prising hundreds of volumes, identical in 
every respect—nay, even to the slightest 
error, or smallest typographical mark.— 
Gradually, tho admiration of tho public 
yielded to a sort of superstitious wonder ; 
then, to fear—to hate. Many, too, were 
personally interested in denouncing tho 
new art. Fanaticism and ignorance set ear¬ 
nestly to work ; the passions of an unedu¬ 
cated populace were speedily aroused ; 
neither witches nor wizards had ceased to 
be believed in, nor persecuted ; and thero 
was in tho legends of tho people, many a 
wild tale of supernatural agency. 
It had been the custom of the scribes to 
illuminate and embellish some of tho an¬ 
cient manuscripts. Faust, to enhance the 
value of his impressions, had in somo degree 
followed their example ; ho had introduced 
colored inks ; in many of his books the red 
hue predominated. 
This was conclusive ; littlo further proof 
was required by his enemies ; for hero were 
displayed the very signs by which ho had 
contracted his compact with’the Evil Ono. 
Tho populace of Mentz rose in tumult. In 
vain ho addressed tho municipality; his 
house was invaded, his presses were des¬ 
troyed, his business suspended—nay, it is 
even said ho was obliged, for a time, to shel¬ 
ter himself in concealment from tho fury of 
the rioters. 
But Truth prevailed again; tho violence of 
tho populace subsided as quickly as it had 
risen, and the printing pross resumed with 
increased vigor its operations. But Faust 
and Guttenburg had quarrelled; they were 
no longer to be associates. Tho man of ge¬ 
nius and tho man of enterprise separated ; 
each betook himself to his own path : tho 
mighty secret was divulged, and tho press, 
the deadliest enemy of monopoly, whether 
scientific or political, bocamo patent to all 
mankind. 
Faust, in union, with other partners, is¬ 
sued many works from his establishment.— 
Thero is a lovo story, too, connected with 
this art, with his daughter, the gentle Chris¬ 
tiana ; but we will not tell it now, lest we bo 
accused of romancing. 
Faust livod to witness many of tho mighty 
ty effects of the science which he had so 
materially promoted. He was undoubtedly 
a man of energy—a master-spirit in his timo 
—one of, if not tho last of the magicians; 
for tho night clouds were breaking up, and 
tho mighty revelations of now truths, as 
they rose, shone with tho clear light of stars, 
and startled not with tho samo fears and 
superstitions as thoy did of old ! 
SENSIBLE REMARKS. 
The Rov. Henry Ward Beocher in his re¬ 
marks at the anniversary of tho Five Points 
Mission, said :—“ When Christ went whero 
there were sick He healed them; where 
there was actual want He created bread, and 
came down to their physical condition.— 
Take the gospel to tho miserable outcasts of 
our city, and no man can preach it, unles he 
does more. It is as though he made a mark 
in the sand, and tho first tide washes it away. 
Preach tho Gospel, and tho hunger of tho 
man makes him forget it. There is a great 
doal more Gospel in a loaf of bread some¬ 
times, than in an old dry sermon. If I go 
to a man and bring to him in his want ever 
so much philosophy, he will not hear it; if 
I come down to him and bring him broad, 
and clothes, and medicine, this will give him 
a correct idea of the Gospel—one which ho 
can appreciate and understand.”

PORTABLE HULL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.] 
I ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
Our readers will many of them remember i hat Ross' 
Portabfe Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at tlie 
Annual State Fair, held in this city a few weeks since.— 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every 
one who has witnessed its operation. In the first place it 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, and does its work with great rapidity and 
perfection. It may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal for family use. It is also well 
adapted for grinding wheat, rye or buckwheat. It i> indeed 
a perfect grist mill in miniature, and we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure one. The expense of 
one of these mills, with the apparatus for horse power, 
can not he very great; or a number of farmers might club 
together and procure one, which would be sufficient for all. 
MY. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y.

Mill can he obtained by letter, post-paid, or by calling at
