THE RAIN. 
BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY. 
The dusty earth, with lips apart, 
Looked up where rolled an orb of flame, 
As though a prayer came from its heart 
For rain to come, and lo! it came. 
The Indian corn with silken plume, 
And flowers with tiny pitchers filled, 
Send up them praise of sweet perfume, 
For precious drops the cloud distilled. 
Up where the heavy thunders rolled, 
And clouds on fire were swept along, 
The sun rides in a car of gold, 
And soaring larks dissolve in song. 
The rills that gush from mountains rude, 
Flow trickling to the verdant base; 
Just like the tears of gratitude 
That often stain a good man s face. 
Bless God for rain! the good man said. 
And wiped away a grateful tear, 
That we may have our daily bread, 
He drops a shower upon us here. 
Our Father! thou who dwell’st in Heaven, 
We thank thee for the pearly shower. 
The blessed present thou hast given 
To man and beast and flower. 
Great King of Peace! deign now to bless,— 
The windows of the sky unbar,— 
Shower down the rain of righteousness 
And wash away the stain of war. t 
And let thy radiant bow of love 
In beauty mark our moral sky, 
Like that fair sign unrolled above, 
But not like it to fade and die. 
The modest grass is fresh and green— 
The brooklet swells its song again; 
Metliinks an angel-wing is seen 
In every cloud that brings us rain. 
There is a rainbow in the sky, 
Upon the arch where tempests trod; 
God wrote it ere the world was dry— 
It is the autograph of God ! 
A TRIP TO MEMPHIS.— NO. 3. 
Covington communicates very conveni¬ 
ently with Cincinnati by two steam ferries, 
the distance being about the same as lrom 
New York to Brooklyn ; with the difference 
of the stiff current of the Ohio, instead of 
the ever changing tide ot the Bast river.— 
But as beautiful, elevated and healthy, Cov¬ 
ington bears away the palm from every sub¬ 
urban city I have yet seen,—wealth hero 
seems to be made the means of that com¬ 
fort, which the noisy, pestiferous town can¬ 
not give. 
Cincinnati had in 1850, 116,000 inhabi¬ 
tants ; it is situated 465 miles by the Ohio 
below Pittsburg, and 132 above Louisville; 
but why longer in the ago of astounding 
improvements, reckon distances by the ser¬ 
pentine river, so soon, if not already sup¬ 
planted as the traveler’s mode of convey¬ 
ance by the ubiquitous Railroad ? It is a 
city in a valley, with a range of precipitous 
hills at the north, which gives this great 
town a rather confined appearance; still 
there is a grado of 180 feet in two miles 
from the base of the hills to the low water 
mark of the river, which gives it the benefit 
of easy sewerage and dry cellars. The 
streets are at right angles with each other, 
the buildings substantial and regular; the 
public buildings, which are uncommonly nu¬ 
merous, I leave to the professed tourist to 
describe. Suffice it to say, hero are more 
than 16,000 houses, 94 churches and houses 
of worship, three literary and four medical 
colloges, eleven banks, eight public halls, 
three theatres, two hospitals, one lunatic 
asylum, four orphan asylums, &c. &c. But 
tho great foundries, cotton and wollon fac¬ 
tories, the three hundred steam engine, driv¬ 
ing machinery of every kind and sort, told 
me that I had reached a great manufactur¬ 
ing city, wdiich was augmenting her indus¬ 
trial wealth and respectability without the 
forcing stimulus of legislative bounty.— 
But I could find no street here to correspond 
with Broadway in New York ; now and then 
a fine shop would shine out as a sort of has 
relief to tho plain ones. Every where the 
utile seemed to predominate, though the 
dulce was far from being forgotten. 
I saw more hams and bacon in one store 
here, than I ever saw before at one time; 
but after all, next to the extensive foun¬ 
dries, the levee and the steamers exhibited 
the most interesting and novel spectacle to 
me. Here wore about fifty steamers lying 
bows on to the paved levee; some discharg¬ 
ing sugar, coffee, and molasses from New 
Orleans, and cotton from the lower Missis¬ 
sippi; others taking in merchandise, pro¬ 
visions, flour, whiskey, bacon, &c., and pon¬ 
derous articles of machinery, to distribute 
up and down the Mississippi and its great 
tributaries. Here, along side of us, lies a 
steamer from Pittsburg, bound to St. Lou¬ 
is, with an overflowing cargo of animated 
nature, men and women, and children above, 
and pigs and cattle below. Such treble notes 
as came from that cargo, that night, was as 
good as a serenade, giving an earnest that 
the upper Mississippi and the Missouri were 
about to receive an accession of inhabitants. 
Before turning in for the night, my seaman¬ 
ship obtained a now wrinkle in observing tho 
mannor in which our mate contrived to keep 
the steamer from catching on to the sloping 
bank, as the now fast receding waters left 
it. Each of these river steamers is supplied 
with two derricks, standing up on each 
side of the hurricane-deck forward; from 
: one of these a long spar is hoisted over the 
bows, one end of which is placed on the 
bank under water, a purchase from tho up¬ 
per end near the derrick is now brought to 
to the capstan and hove taught,—this keeps 
tho bows of the boat pressed out into tho 
stream, where she settles “regularly as the 
river falls. This steamer brought 375 bales 
of cotton from Memphis to this city. No 
craft that I have seen ai*e so well calculated 
to take on and discharge frieght with expe¬ 
dition as those river boats; they have a 
hoisting wheel on tho low, forward deck, 
connected with a spur wheel purchase, 
which admits of hoisting out and lowering 
freight at tho same time ; this double ope¬ 
ration is tho moro necossary in landing and 
taking in way freight, as time is money, 
where the current expenso is over five dol¬ 
lars an hour when under steam. 
Tho next morning I went off to see tho 
great lower market. Here on the 1 st of May, 
in a very cold and backward season, most 
kinds of early vegetables, peas excepted, 
were in abundance. Out side of the mar¬ 
ket, in carts backed up to the side walk, 
almost every thing edible, sold was from a 
mess of greens and a slice of bacon to a 
pig and a wild turkey. The proprietor of 
each vehicle, whether male or female, sold 
but one variety of articles,—one sold vege¬ 
tables, another poultry, another hams and 
bacon ; one man sold nothing but cheese ; 
here you might buy from a slice to a whole 
cheese, or a dozen if you wished. No other 
edible did this man seem to know any thing 
about, but ho could trace the genealogy of 
a cheeso from the Western Reservo to its 
Yankee predecessor in old Vermont,—how 
con amove ho did descant upon the peculiar 
flavor of each particularly choice dairy.— 
Such was my respect for a man so truly re¬ 
spectable in his own calling that I bought 
two cream cheeses of him, one of which I 
afterwards took v r ith me up the Illinois to 
Lake Michigan, w'hero it was pronounced 
the richest and most perfect article of the 
kind ever before seen in Wisconsin. 
Got an excellent cup of coffee at the In- 
d ian Queen restaurant, and thon took a pas¬ 
sage in an omnibus or stage to the north¬ 
west limit of tho city, where the Miami ca¬ 
nal comes in, around tho base of tho hills.— 
Here was a brewery, a lard-oil factory, sun¬ 
dry pork houses, &c., but neither the bear¬ 
ing or appearance of the passers-by, or the 
style of building, denoted this to be tho 
court end of the town. Among the casual 
passengers was a hurly Pennsylvania Ger¬ 
man, a little the worse for beer; ho soon let 
us know that he had been a lobby member to 
the Legislature at Columbus. where ho went 
to oppose the passage of the Maine Law. 
I could not but fool in the spleen of my an¬ 
noyance, that rum might do some service, if 
it killed only such coarse bipeds as himself. 
Noon was the hour for leaving, but I 
found tho mates still busy with a stiff com¬ 
mand of Irish laborers, stowing the decks 
and guards with light articles and lowering 
heavy boxes into the hold ; oven the hurri¬ 
cane deck had to bo encumberod with gig 
and wagon wheels, &c., &c. The passengers 
began now to gather on board,—a very re¬ 
spectable looking sot of men, Yankees, 
Iloosiers, Kentucians, and Tenneseeans, with 
hardly a single foreigner, and a very small 
proportion of female passengers, compared 
with the number usually found on an east¬ 
ern steamer. Perhaps cheap fares have 
not yet filled tho heads of tho western la¬ 
dies with tho spirit of gadding. It was 
past the middle of the afternoon before the 
last dray load of goods was on board. The 
Pittsburg steamer along sido with her live 
cargo, now backed out into the river. 
At half-past four, the mate fired the foro- 
castle gun, when we simaltaneously backed 
out into tho river, took a turn up stream 
and then, as the sailors say, filled away.— 
Instead of a sailor at tho wheel, with an of¬ 
ficer to con him, one of our two pilots, a 
man in a dress coat, who had obtained his 
branch at a price, entered the wheel house 
alone; the way in which ho made tho spokes 
fly when tho boat got w r ay enough to feol 
the helm, told his training and experience. 
These Mississippi river pilots have wages 
proportionate to tho responsibility of their 
position, $150 to $200 a month; tlioirs is 
an arduous task, as they havo no othor de- 
pondance in a dark or foggy night but their 
own eyes and instincts, with tho poor aid 
of a casual look out forward by the mate of 
the watch. The froquont accidents from 
snags, fatal collisions and collapso of boil¬ 
ers, fail not to have their effect on the mind 
of the pilot, so that his life is ono of con¬ 
tinual exercise and self denial. 
As we now passed swiftly down the Ohio, 
some of our passengors pointed out the 
vino clad hills along tho river, below Cin¬ 
cinnati, where the grape is now being exten¬ 
sively cultivated, from which the famed 
Catawba wino of the west is made. Beforo 
dark wo passed tho North Bend, the resi¬ 
dence of the late President Harrison, but 
from the middlo of the broad Ohio, my old 
eyes could not satisfactorily scan the pass¬ 
ing landscape as tho day closed. The first 
landing we made, was at the pleasant vil¬ 
lage of Aurora, in Indiana, thirty miles be¬ 
low Cincinnati. Here we had a large lot of 
freight to put off and sundry passengers.— 
At 10 £ o’clock wo had taken on board ono 
hundred barrels of whiskey, for Memphis, 
and a flat load of coal for the boat’s use.— 
Before morning we landed much light 
freight and many passengers, principally at 
Madison, one hundred miles below Cincin¬ 
nati,—a largo and growing town of 80,000 
inhabitants, finely situated on the river, at 
the terminus of the Madison and Indiana¬ 
polis Railroad, ninity-five miles from the 
latter place, thocapitol of the Iloosier State. 
The next morning at early dawn, we were 
some twenty miles above Louisville. The 
banks of tho river on either side were well 
wooded with occasional clearings, but the 
elevation of the land from the river was so 
inconsiderable as to give neither beauty nor 
variety to the landscape. 
Wo arrived at Louisville, Sunday morning 
2 d May—here was the Pittsburg steamer 
taking in small stores to recruit her animat¬ 
ed host. This beautifully situated city, lies 
at tho head of the falls of the Ohio; tho 
streets aro graded from tho river with a 
gentle rise to an altitude of seventy feet, 
without any high hills in the rear to hedge 
in its fair proportions; the buildings and 
stores are neat, plain and regular, with a 
very exact angular, Philadelphian appear¬ 
ance. This is the most important city in 
Kentucky, and one of the greatest whole¬ 
sale towns in tho west. In 1850, it contain¬ 
ed 44,000 inhabitants, a large new court 
house of boautiful architecture, a city hall, 
a medical college and university, two hospi¬ 
tals, an asylum for the blind, thirty chur¬ 
ches and places of worship, two orphan 
asylums, a workhouse, and a large number 
of religious and literary institutions, four 
daily, four tri-weekly, and ten weekly news¬ 
papers, besides other periodical publica¬ 
tions. It has also a large number of foun¬ 
dries, rolling mills, flouring mills, and facto¬ 
ries of different kinds, besides tho pork 
packing establishments, which business 
here forms a great item in the trade of the 
city. It being Sunday morning I saw noth¬ 
ing of the bustle or business of the place, 
save the presence of sundry ebony hack 
and cart drivers, coarse-featured and mean¬ 
ly clad, but I was tald that in the afternoon 
they would appear in full dress on the pro¬ 
menade. s. w. 
An inclination towards still-sittinsr com¬ 
fort nestles in man ; like a great dog ho lots 
himself bo pricked and teased a thousand 
times, rather than to take the troublo to 
jump up in lieu of growling. 
Truth is a naked and open day-light, that 
doth not show the masques and mummer¬ 
ies and triumphs of the present world, half 
so stately and daintily as candle lights.—

Ayers, Searsburg. 
T HE Subscribers offer this season a new and most valu¬ 
able Machine in the successful combination of a Win¬ 
nower with their Overshot Thresher. It is easily driven 
with our Double Horse Power, and has now been fairly 
tested, a large number having been in constant use during 
the past threshing season. 
We have numerous letters from gentlemen who havo 
used the Winnower, and gave extracts from a few of them 
in our advertisements of last month, and we now insert a 
few more. We might add a large number but it is deem¬ 
ed unnecessary. 
From R. Olney, of Portage, N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—I will now state 
some facts in regard to your Thresher & Winnower. We 
first used it to thresh Oats, which were good and not very 
long straw. With 5 hands we threshed and cleaned fit for 
market, 00 bushels per hour while running. This is not 
guess work, as is frequently the case, but we kept the time 
to the minutes, and much larger figures might have been 
made had we exerted ourselves. Our wheat was heavy 
growth and very long straw. We averaged 20 to 25 bush¬ 
els au hour, using a pair of mules and a span of very light 
horses alternately, but with either team alone and 5 hands 
I can tljresh 400 bushels good Oats a day and half tli&t 
quantity of Wheat, and make it no harder for team or 
hands than ordinary farm work. The machine is admira¬ 
bly adapted to the farmer's use ; can be worked at so little 
expense and in bad weather when little else can be done. 
It is of the most simple and durable construction, there 
being nothing liable to break or soon wear out but that a 
common farmer cau repair. It cleans the grain well and 
wastes less than any other I ever examined. I write thus 
minutely that you may understand the facts as they are; 
the figures I have given being taken from our ordinary 
threshing without any elTort to hurry business.” 
Extract from a letter of Wm. Osborn, Esq., of 
Waterville, N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen—My 
Uncle wishes me to say to you that his Winnower more than 
answered his expectations. My own opinion may be gath¬ 
ered from the fact that I want one as soon you can forward 
it. It is unquestionably the most perfect thing ever got 
up for Threshing and Cleaning. I have considerable ac¬ 
quaintance with labor-saving Agricultural Machines, and 
1 never yet saw any tiling which for its simplicity and per¬ 
fect adaptation to the wants of farmers, compared with 
your Machine.” 
From Chester Olney, dated March 1st, 1852. 
“ Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Last fall I employ¬ 
ed Mr. Olney with one of your Powers & Winnowers to do 
my threshing, and I must cheerfully state that the work 
was done better, with a less number of hands and less 
waste, than ever before with other machines. It averaged 
from 20 to thirty bushels per hour of "Wheat and twice as 
much of Oats.” 
From II. J. Crewell, Esq., Columbia, N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen—The 
Thresher & Winnower you sent proves to bo beyond my 
expectations. I have the pleasure of writing to you for 
one more, if you can furnish it within the next three or 
four weeks.” 
From a second letter of E. French, Esq., Bridgeport, 
N. Y.,—dated March 9, 1852. 
“ Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—I am not able to 
do your Winnower the justice it deserves. 1 have used it 
since August and it has earned .$500 without asking for 
work, while other machines have been begging for it. I 
have had a man running it who lias an 8 Horse Machine 
of bis own and good of its kind, but be could not get work 
with it. I have taken pains to exhibit the operation of 
your machine, and have seen none but pronounce it the 
most perfect in use. It has threshed 25 bushels per hour 
and is capable of threshing 200 bushels per day of good 
wheat My wheat was of the ‘ Soles ’ variety. I sold it 
from the machine for seed without other cleaning. Oats 
it will clean better than any Fanning Mill I ever used.” 
From J. Glendening, Esq., Newport, R. I. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen—I am 
pleased to say that the Thresher and Winnower exceed my 
most sanguine expectations. I cau get through 350 to 400 
bushels of Oats per day.” 
From E. T. Tiffany, of Dimoclt, Pa. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—I consider your 
combined Thresher and Winnower one of the best Ma¬ 
chines ever introduced into Northern Pennsylvania. I have 
used one of them through December and a part of Janu¬ 
ary, and did more business than any other four machines 
in this place. With a good team I can thresh 400 bush¬ 
els of Oats per day, and I think with an exchange I could 
thresh 500 or (100, and with less waste and expense than 
any other machine in existence. Could I get experienced 
workmen I would order one or two more. It would be 
tlie best investment I could make. I can make better profit 
with one of your machines than can be obtained from any 
two farms in Susquelnma Co. Your Thresher and Win¬ 
nower receives the highest approbation of our farmers.” 
From Samuel Tucker, of North Evans, N. Y. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—In reply to your re¬ 
quest about tlie Thresher and Winnower, I am ready to 
answer that it works well. Indeed its equal was never 
seen in Erie Co. I have tliretlied 18,794 bushels of Wheat, 
Oats and Barley, besides 50 bushels grass seed. A number 
of my neighbors want machines like mine. 
Price of Double Power Thresher and Winnower,. . . .$225 
The superiority of Wheeler’s Patent Railw; Chain- 
Horse Power, and Overshot Thresher and Separator is 
universally acknowledged. Thousands of them are in use, 
many of which have threshed from 50,000 to 100,000 bush¬ 
els of grain, and are still in good condition. Probably 
more than four times as many of these machines were 
sold during lust year as of any other kind. They are be¬ 
yond doubt the most durable and economical machine in 
use. Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as 
well at the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several 
private occasions in competition with another machine 
made in this city, which lias been adverertised to be far 
superior to ours, and in every instance the result lias been 
about one-third, and iu some instances more, in favor of 
our machines. In every case except one, where we have 
submitted our machine to a working'^ test at Fairs, it has 
taken the highest premiums, and in that excepted case the 
Committee decided that our machine performed its work 
in 8-minutes and its competitor iu 11% min *es, being 
nearly one-third in favor of ours. 
We have also exhibited ours in competition with the 
same machine at the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan and 
Pennsylvania, and also at the Provincial Fair in Upper 
Canada, at all of which we received tlie highest premiums, 
viz.: In Ohio a Silver Medal and Diplon.' ir. "M"chigan 
$20; in Pennsylvania $10; and in Canada a L. ! om

Single Horse Power and Churning Machine. 
This machine has been extensively use in large dairies 
and with the most satisfactory results. The power is 
found to be peculiarly adapted to churning, the propelling 
force being produced by the weight of the horse to an 
amount sufficient to drive 4 or 5 barrel churns; the motion 
is varied by altering the elevation of the power so as to 
produce all the changes in speed required in the different 
stages of the process of churning : this is done by means 
of a lever and without stopping the horse, so that the mo¬ 
tion is always under the control of the person in charge. 
The Power is the same as that made by us for threshing.

MUSSSEY’S KEAPIXC MACHINE. 
1 MUS has now become a standard and model Machine in 
_ all tlie grain growing sections of this State.' While 
others have been altering and experimenting, with but 
doubtful success, Hussey’s Reaper lias given the most en¬ 
tire satisfaction wherever it has been used. Farmers, af.er 
trying many other Reapers offered them in Western New 
York, have given to this the most unqualified approbation. 
The simplicity of its arrangement and tlie durability of its 
construction commend it at once to general favor. Per¬ 
forming its work equally well in lodged as in standing 
grain, meeting the just expectation of every purchaser, we 
take pleasure in again offering it to our numerous custom¬

TESTIMONIALS. 
Bergen, Sept. 1, 1851.—This is to certify, that I havo for 
three seasons used one of Hussey’s Reapliing Machines, 
which I purchased at the Cenesee Seed Store, and that it 
gives perfect satisfaction. I have cut my wheat when it 
was very badly lodged, much faster, better and cheaper 
than it could have been done in any other way. I had one 
of McCormick’s, but left it in the road, a useless article, 
as I consider it; having tried for three years to use it, 
without any success. 
I consider Hussey’s Machine just the thing for our farm¬ 
ers, and I could not now, after having proved its merits, be 
induced to be without one. Noah Wilbur.
