THE FIRST KNOWN. 
Tub first, alas! there is no grief 
Which future years may bring,— 
The Summer lias no flowers so fair, 
As those of early Spring. 
' The raging storm may strip the tree, 
S ill wilder scenes and worst,— 
Wliate’er has past—may come again, 
But never like the first. 
There’s many a withering blast lias blown, 
O’er this Life’s troubled wave, 
And thorny has the thicket grown, 
Between mo and the grave. 
And gloomier still the spot appears, 
The gathering storm has burst— 
Upon my young unblighted years : 
No grief is like the first. 
My first young joys—perchance ’twas vain— 
But that short period's o'er, 
My bleeding heart may hope again,— 
B ut can rejoice no more. 
Many lov’d friends, death’s buried deep, 
And many fate has cursed, 
But still no friends can sooth 
The sorrows like the first. 
The star of Hope may lure me on, 
Through future toils and Strife,— 
But ne’er again they’ll shine as shone 
My morning star of life. 
’Twas brighter far than Summer’s wreath, 
’Twas long and fondly nursed,— 
Tho’ still they want that fearless faith, 
Of those that lov’d me first. 
And now where’er my pathway lead, 
The shades and sunlight cast 
Athwart the dawning of my day, 
Are with me to the last. 
But nc w alas! there breaks no more 
e morn as once it durst, 
The future days can ue’er restore 
The brightness of the first.

BE PUNCTUAL. 
How few are fully awaro of tho import¬ 
ance of punctuality] in whatever they un¬ 
dertake. This is a. feature of character that 
should bo exemplified in all our actions.— 
And why ? it may be asked. Wo reply; be¬ 
cause it saves time and a vast amount of the 
worst kind of trouble, which is sure to occur 
when one fails to fulfill every promise he 
makes. 
Tho man who sets out in Jife, without any 
system or rule to be guided by in his inter¬ 
course with men in business transactions, 
cannot expect to acquire what he anticipates, 
if it is wealth or famo; why should ho dream 
of possessing such things when ho does not 
make it a point to fulfill his engagements, 
lie tells his neighbor, for instance, that he 
will meet him at such a place on such an 
hour, and it seems a matter of little conse¬ 
quence whether ho is there at the specified 
time or not. But his neighbor who is strictly 
punctual, is there and is disappointed that the 
business is left undone till another day.— 
S ach men not only labor to a disadvantage to 
themselves, but throw into disorder and 
confusion the arrangements of those they 
are dealing with. 
' But, he who loves punctuality, resolves 
when he enters upon the busy stage of life, 
that, instead of moving along in this slip-shod 
manner, as thousands do, without beginning 
or end to anything they ongage in, that he, 
for ono, will he prompt in all his engage¬ 
ments. The minister who is tardy at the 
hour of roligious service, need not think 
strange if his exercises are brokon in upon 
by those who follow his example. Let the 
schoolmaster ho a few moments behind the 
time each morning, it is a matter of course 
the pupils will become dilatory in their at¬ 
tendance, thereby engrafting habits at this 
period of life when impressions, be they good 
or bad, cannot be wiped out during ones 
lifetime. 
But this feature of character is more ofton 
observed in mechanics than any other class. 
They promise us an article on a specified 
day, but we go for it and find it not in read¬ 
iness, and we lose our confidence in such a 
one, and our rospect for him as a man of 
business, for he has confused our plans for 
tho day and others whom we have engage¬ 
ments with. Let the motto of every man 
be punctuality; let this virtue be manifested 
in a high dogroe in all our actions, and life’s 
rugged pathway will be touch more pleasant. 
E. L. Graves. 
Ransomville, N. Y., 1852. 
If men were compelled to give a reason 
for every thing they profess to believo, one 
of two things is certain; either that reasons 
would become more abundant than they are 
in the present day, or that doctrines would 
be fewer. 
Socrates did not urge his friends to enter 
early upon public employments; but first 
to take pains for tho attainment of the 
knowledge necessary for their success in 
them. 
Are you stepping on the threshold of life ? 
Securo a good moral character. Without 
virtue you cannot bo respected; without 
integrity you can never rise to distinction 
and honor. 
A M ATTER - OF - FACT MAN. 
Here is a very amusing picture of that 
species of odd fish known as a Mattcr-of- 
Fact Man : 
“ I am what tho old women call ‘ An Odd 
Fish.’ I do nothing, under the heaven, 
without a motive—never. 1 attempt noth¬ 
ing unless I think there is a probability of 
my succeeding. I ask no favors when I 
think they won’t be granted. 1 grant no 
favors when I think they are not deserved, 
and filially I don't wait upon the girls when 
I think my attentions would bo disagreea¬ 
ble. I am a matter of fact man—I am. I 
do things seriously. 1 once offered to at¬ 
tend a young lady home—I did, seriously : 
that is, I meant to wait on her borne if she 
wanted mo. She accepted my offer. I 
went home with her; and it has ever since 
been an enigma to me whether she wanted 
me or not. She took my arm and said not 
a word. I bado her ‘ Good Night,’ and she 
said not a word. I met hor the next day, 
and I said not a word. I met her again, 
and she gave a two-hours’ talk. It struck 
me as curious. She feared I was offended, 
she said, and couldn’t for the life of her con¬ 
ceive why. She begged me to explain, but 
did’nt give mo tho ghost of a chance to do 
it. She said she hoped I would’nt be offend¬ 
ed ; asked me to call; and it has over since 
been a mystery to mo whether she wanted 
me to call or not. 
I once saw a lady at her window. I 
thought I would call. I did. I inquired 
for the lady, and was told that she was not 
at'home. I expect she was. I went away 
thinking so. I rather think so still. I met 
her again. She was offended—said I had 
• not been neighborly.’ She reproached mo 
for my negligence; said she thought I had 
been unkind. And I’ve ever since wonder¬ 
ed whether she was sorry or not. 
A lady once said to me that she ‘ should 
like to be married,’ if she could get a good 
congenial husband, who would make her 
happy, or at least try to. She was not diffi¬ 
cult to please, she said. I said ‘ I should 
like to get married too, if I could get a wife 
that would try to make me happy.’ She 
said, Umph! and looked as if she meant 
what she said. She did. For when I asked 
her if she thought she could be persuaded 
to marry me, she said she’d rather be excus¬ 
ed. I excused her. I’ve often wondered 
ivhy I excused her. 
“ A good many things of this kind have 
happened to me that aro doubtful, wonder¬ 
ful, mysterious. What, then, is it that 
causes doubt and mystery in the ways of 
men ? It is the want of fact. This is a 
matter-of-fact world, and in order to act 
well in it, we must deal in matter-of-fact.” 
BROADWAY AND HIE BOWERY. 
A stranger in the city can hardly credit 
the marvellous effects of slight differences 
of longitude with us. Our two most crowd¬ 
ed thorough fares—Broadway and Bowery,— 
lie a very short distance apart, and yet there 
is space enough between them to make the 
most marked difference in all the prices and 
qualities of goods, and indeed of all things 
in general. In tho Bowery you can get 
more apples and doughnuts for a sixpence 
than you can in Broadway, hue then they 
are not so nice, and the apples are surer to 
bring on a cholera-morbus. A hat that in 
Broadway is worth four dollars, is worth just 
three in the Bowery. A bonnet worth 
twenty shillings in the Bowery, sells readily 
for thirty in Broadway. Men may not per¬ 
ceive tho difference in quality, hut the ladies 
will toll you that, coming from the Bowery, 
it has a fussy look; from Broadway, a pretty 
and becoming appearaece. And the dry- 
goods men say that a ribbon which looks 
flaunting and common in the Bowery, if sent 
over to their Broadway store, stills at a hot¬ 
ter price, as a “ gay and very striking style 
of goods.” 
The Bowery mud is not a bit deeper, but 
fouler than tho Broadway. The bricks fall¬ 
ing from new buildings in the Bowery are 
not so frequent, but they strike harder.— 
There are no more saucy boys, hut they are 
saucier. The dirt heaps are no higher, hut 
they are dirtier. There are a good many 
costly stores going up, but they have a 
cheaper look and the veneering is more ob¬ 
vious. There are a great many very accom¬ 
odating people keeping these drug, and gro¬ 
cery, and carpet, and dry-goods stores; but, 
do you suppose, that if thero were to ho a 
grand Meagher demonstration and proces¬ 
sion— do you suppose we should have any 
friends in tho Bowery to call on, for good 
“ stand points of vision ?” Not we, at least 
to spoak of up-toww. 
When a man has a new pair of gloves, a 
very stiff collar, a new coat or hat remarka¬ 
bly becoming,Broadway is the street for him. 
If his hat begin to look “shocking bad,”his 
gloves to rip, his collar to sink, his coat to 
shine from long service, let him stick by the 
Bowery. A man on his way to a wedding 
naturally goes by Broadway ; returning, tho 
Bowery is most convenient. Going to a 
barber’s, he takes the Bowery by all means; 
returning, why Broadway is tho nearest by 
several blocks. It would be well for people 
moving into town, to bear theso things in 
mind. It will help them materially in at¬ 
taining she greatest of earthly blessings ex¬ 
cepting wealth—respectability.— JYew York 
Times. 
An exchange paper says : “Those farmers 
who hesitate about their ability to take a 
newspaper, are requested to keep ono more 
hen than usual. The profits will pay all 
costs.” 
N. B. Those not acquainted with chicken 
raising, will experience the same happy re¬ 
sult, especially in tins vicinity by keeping 
one dog loss ! That is just it. 
The tricky, deceitful, and dishonest, are 
rarely prosperous; for when confidence is 
withdrawn, poverty is likely to follow. 
WONDERS OF A TEA POT. 
A cur of tea, though a small article and 
a cheap ono, is capable of performing won¬ 
ders. As a mino beneath a beleaguered city 
only roquires a match to blow the inhabi¬ 
tants of tho earth to the moon, So the cup 
of tea only wants an opportunity to pro¬ 
duce somo of tho most signal effects: and 
many a match is begun, advanced or con¬ 
cluded, under the inspiring influence.— 
When the “ hissing urn throws up a steamy 
column,” fragrant with hyson, powertul 
with imperial, strong with gunpowder or 
black with bohea, it may be considered as a 
warning of the consequence to be expected 
from the wonder-working beverage within. 
But when the cup has received it, when 
sugar and cream have softened it; inline, 
when rosy lips begin to imbibe the delicious 
draught, then look for consequences. Fa¬ 
ther of Ho Whangi! how does a cup of tea 
unloose, invigorate, nay, almost create tho 
faculty of speech ! 
Behold a spiritless, silent, solemn company, 
sitting in a semicircle, staring at ono anoth¬ 
er, having exhausted that almost inexhaust¬ 
ible topic, the weather, and despairing in 
what manner to introduce it a fourth time; 
in this sad, this most uncomfortable dilem¬ 
ma, tho sight of a tea-tray is better than a 
plank to a drowning man, or the voice of 
pardon to a condemned criminal. Glance 
your eye over tho company, and see how 
other eyes begin to sparkle; the solemn 
gloom disperses like mist before the sun.— 
But no sooner have pretty noses begun to 
inhale tho fragrance, no sooner ha\e pretty 
lips begun to sip the delicious tongue-in¬ 
spiring beverage, than silence,a poor “dumb 
devil,” is thrust aside, tho weather banish¬ 
ed from good society, and tongues — as 
Virgil says about olm trees that bear apples 
—begin to be astonished at fruits not their 
Rock Spring is one of tho curiosities. It 
is in tho town of Ossian, about five miles 
distant, upon a very high point of land that 
overlooks the valley of tho Canasaraga.— 
Upon this high point, in the centre of a large 
clear field, is a rock rising some four to five 
feet abovo the surface, about four feet in di¬ 
ameter, hollow and in form of an egg shell; 
and in its centre bubbles up a spring of as 
puro water as ever came from mountain top, 
and fills this rock to a constant overflow. 
Around it no other rocks are to be seen, and 
one can hardly believe that it is not a work 
of art. Close examination proves it to be 
the work of the Great Artist, and none of 
man’s handiwork .—Dansville Democrat.

TO THE PS’BIriC. 
TX7"E see by advertisements of another .Horse Power 
VV manufacturing firm of this city, that they continue 
to repeat statements concerning public exhibitions and 
trials and awards of and to their machines, which arc false 
in fact, and well calculated to misrepresent to, and mis¬ 
lead, the public concerning the same. Justice to ouselves, 
machines anti the public, requires a statement ot facts, 
leaving the inferences to be drawn by readers themselves. 
In refering to public exhibitions and premiums, those 
reports of most importance are omitted, (because deci¬ 
dedly unfavorable to their machines.) They also allude to 
private trials, which, up to this time, have not taken place 
to our knowledge in a single instance; and finally, claim¬ 
ing premiums which were never awarded them or their 
machines, as will beseem They say in their circular : 
“ Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as well 
“ at tlie New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several 
“private occasions in competition with another machine 
“ made in this city, which has been advertised to he far su- 
“ perior to ours, and in every instance tlie result has been 
“ about one-third, and in 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, aud in that excepted case 
“ the Committee decided that our machine performed its 
“work in 8 minutes and its competitor in il?.l minutes, 
“ being nearly one-tliird 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 the highest premiums, viz.: In Ohio 
“a Silver Medal and Diploma; in Michigan §20 ; in Penn- 
“sylvania §10; and in Canada a Diploma. We have nu- 
“ merous similar testimonials, from County Societies, 
“ where we have always received tlie highest premiums 
“awarded to Chain Powers.” 1 
Tlie facts are as follows, for tlie truth of which the pub¬ 
lic only need refer to the reports themselves : 
At the Fair of the New York State Agricultural Society 
at Albany, in 1850, tlie committee unanimously awarded 
us the Highest and only Premium on tlie endless-chain 
Power, and in competition with three others — among 
which was the Wheeler Railway Power, made and entered 
by themselves, (the same as wc have extensively manufac¬ 
tured and sold for several years.) The chairman ot the 
awarding committee says of the machines as follows :— 
“ We spent much time in examining the various Powers, 
first with the owners, and heard all they could say, and 
then in their absence, and the result most tully convinced 
me that yours was the best; and if 1 wanted one, I would 
give twenty dollars more for yours than for any other on 
the grounds.” 
In 1851, at their Fair held at Rochester, the same Sooi 
ety’s committee (than whom no men better qualified, or 
attention and care bestowed during the whole four days of 
the Fair, have been or can again be secured,) awarded us 
the Highest and only Premium, for the best Rail Road 
Horse Power, and in competition with tlie same Powers as 
at Albany. The committee say, in their report, that “ The 
contest was tlie closest between Wheeler’s aud Emery’s— 
two manufacturing firms from Albany; but owing to the 
similarity of Powers, they were required to give a rest by 
threshing one hundred large bundles of wheat; and not¬ 
withstanding Wheeler’s beat Emery's by three minutes, 
we are of the opinion that, as a whole, Emery's Rail Road 
Horse Power is entitled to the Premium.” 
This report of tlie Committee being in favor of our 
Power, and with this difference in the results, if the su¬ 
periority of its construction and operation is not estab¬ 
lished, it certainly will he, when we state that during the 
three days previous, at said Fair, with an entirely new 
Power, lighter horses, aud little used to working it, we 
repeatedly threshed, of the same lot of wheat, one hun¬ 
dred sheaves in ten minutes, at the same elevation and 
with but two-thirds the travel of the horses, required by 
the Wheeler Power to do the same work; while the team 
used by them were following threshing with and well 
broke to their Power, and their Test Power made express¬ 
ly for, and having been previously used at several Fairs, 
and in good working order. 
Again, we would say, that in the test where there wore 
but seventy-nine sheaves (instead of one hundred, as er¬ 
roneously "stated by the committee, in tlieir report,) we 
were required, much against our convictions of justice, to 
put off our team, and use in our turn the very team from 
the other Powers, nnd that after doing the other’s work, 
a d wholly unused to working our slow Power, requiring 
„ncir owner at their heads to keep them back, and from 
walking overboard, as they were inclined to do—no har¬ 
ness being used; thereby disadvantaging us to the extent 
of eleven minutes with the seventy-nine sheaves, or a little 
over seven sheaves per minute, instead of ten, as wc had 
repeated!v done with our own team. These facts, together 
with those of the Concave and Bonnet of tlieir Thresher 
being raised for tlie test; also, that of tlieir Power slipping 
its gear, flying Us band, stopping them nearly fifteen min¬ 
utes to repair, in the middle of the test, (which was al¬ 
lowed by the committee,) thereby reducing tlieir working 
time to eight minutes, or nearly ten sheaves per minute, 
just equal to our ordinary work during the whole Fair, 
we think should conclusively settle tlie question of su¬ 
periority ; and we hazard nolhing in saying the committee 
will not‘deny one of those statements. We may here re¬ 
mark, that 'we consider tlie published report imperfect, 
and that justice to the committee as well as ourselves, re¬ 
quires the publication of these facts. 
It may not be amiss here to say that tlie executive com¬ 
mittee Jf the State Society have so amended the rules for 
the trial of implements, &c., in future, as to include all 
time consumed by competitors in repairing and adjusting 
their machines after the test trial is commenced. If this 
rule had been observed in the above trial we would have 
beaten them in time some twelve minutes. 
At tlie Fair of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, 
in 1850, we received twenty dollars for the largest and best 
collection of Implement,s; also, a Diploma for our llorso 
Power. The Premium of ten dollars being awarded to the 
Wheeler’s Power. 
In 1851, at same Society’s Annual Fair, we were again 
in competition with tlie same Power, and were unanimous- 
awarded its highest and only Premium, being ten dollars 
and Diploma, (aud this, too, at the hands of a committee, 
the majority owning and using the competing Powers on 
their farms,) for superior construction efiiciency, and ease 
for team—thus redeeming its reputation from the effects 
of the adverse decision of the previous year. 
At tlie Fair of the Ohio Slate Board of Agriculture, in 
1850, we were again in competition with the Wheeler Pow¬ 
er ; and eaeli received a like Discretionary Premium, being 
a Silver Medal and Diploma, the first and only Premium 
being awarded to a Lever Power—Taplin's Patent. 
At the Fair of the same Board of Agriculture, in 1851, 
alike competition with similar result—the only Premium 
being awarded to tlie same Lever Power as before. 
At tlie Fair of the State Agricultural Society of Penn¬ 
sylvania, in 1851, (being tlieir first Fair,) we were award¬ 
ed a Diploma for superior Rail Road Power—the First and 
only Premium being awarded to a Rack and Pinion Rail¬ 
way Power made within that Stale, which was more per¬ 
fectly fitted and finished in all its running parts than any 
similar implement ever publicly exhibited, working with 
the least possible friction—while our own was made as 
usual, and never used for threshing twenty bushels oi 
grain before being exhibited at this Fair. 
At the Fair of the American Institute, in 1851, we were 
awarded the only Premium, tlieir “Gold Medal,” tor our 
Power, competing with others. 
At the Provincial Fair held at Niagara, (Canada H est) 
in 1850, we were awarded a gratuity of Ten Dollars and 
a Diploma for our Power, on exhibition with the Wheelers 
and others—the First Premium not being awarded out of 
the Provinces, hut to a manufacturer in Mouqeal. 
Atthe8ame Provincial Fair in 1851, we did not com¬ 
pete at all—the Wheeler Power a'onc being exhibited from 
the States. , „ 
Our Power has been exhibited at near’y all the County 
Fairs of this and several other Slates, during tlie past two 
years, and in no case where they have been entered for 
coinpetion and a premium awarded to any one, have ours 
failed to receive the award; while numerous premiums 
and awards have been received wherever they have been 
exhibited. .

Extract of letter from Russel Kilbourne, Paris Hill, N. Y. 
*>Sirs,—Since the Ikst two hundred bushels of wheat 
threshed wiih your latest improved Railroad Horse Power 
and Threshing Machine and Separator, they have perform¬ 
ed well. Two or three farmers,neighbors near me,desire 
machines for their own use: how soon can you ship them 
after they are ordered, and can you sell them an, less on 
account of the lateness of the season ? 1 wish very much 
to sell two or three of them here, if possible, not only be¬ 
cause I mink tlie purchaser w onlrl he I cm r pleased with 
ihem, but beca se Mr. Osborn, Wheeler’s agent, and who 
has one of Wheeler’s Two Horse Power Threshers and 
Winnowers here, is determined that none of yours shall 
be sold if be can prevent it.” 
in n subsequent letter, he again writes us : 
“The morel see of Wheeler’s Power and Winnower, 
the more I don’t like it. They can thresh just about 75 
bushels of first rate wheat per day.” 
Extract of letter from Win. 11 Chalmers, West Galway, 
Sarat ga County. 
“ Gentlemen,—I have a small team, nnd, with moderate 
elevation, and without their drawing in harness, I put 
through large sheaves of wheai at the rate of one hundred 
every ten minutes, threshing it thoroughly. Much more 
could be done fi r a short time; nut 1 mean with the eleva¬ 
tion and labor of team ns 1 use in following ■ brushing. I 
firmly believe your improved Power Thresher and Sepa¬ 
rator will supersede anything I haveseen. Many farmers 
prefer the Thresher and Separator to (he Winnowers, as 
grain can he threshed fasti-rand belter without them—re¬ 
quiring less men, theteby saving sufficient time for clean¬ 
ing with a good Fanning Mill, i have seen one of Wheel¬ 
er’s Horse Powers, with Thresher and Winnower at work 
here, threshing but one quarter as fast as I do with your 
machines. An eight horse power, with Thresher and 
Cleaner, working in this vicinity, requiring twice as many 
men. is pronounced, by those taking away the straw from 
loth,to thresh less per day than mine. 1 wish you to 
vvriie me if you have made any improvements since mine, 
and have you Powers, &c., on hand, as 1 expect to sell 
some.” 
Exhact from letter of Peter Webber, Herkimer, N. Y. f 
February 2, 1852. 
“ Gentlemen,—A fter giving your improved Horse Pow¬ 
er Thresher and Separator a thmough trial, I consider it 
superior io any 1 have seen or tried.: it works lo my per¬ 
fect satisfaction. Iliad given the others a trial before or¬ 
dering yours.hut was dissatisfied until I saw yours operate, 
f feel a pleasure in recommending it to farmers in general 
as being well made, and as having no equal in arrange¬ 
ment, poweror workmanship.” 
Extract of a letter from W. D. Mason, Jefferson, Ohio, 
November 30,1851. 
“Gentlemen,—I write to know the terms of your Im¬ 
proved Rail Road Horse Power. I enclose a copy of 
Wheeler’s, which I received from bis agent: and if yours 
come near file same, you may consider this an order lor 
one, for which I will remit as soon as 1 get your answer. 
1 have tried Wheeler's Power at tlie request of his agent, 
but find the friction so great upon the pinions that itcauses 
me to think it can not be a lasting power.” 
The great excess of the demand being for our Threshers 
and Separators instead of Cleaners, we arc compelled to 
confine ourselves and facilities chiefly to the foimer. ma¬ 
king Cleaners only to order, and at the price of one hun¬ 
dred dol'ars each instead of seventy-live as heretofore ad- 
venised by us. 
From our own observations, and the slow adoption of 
the Cleaner comhined, when used by farmers with hams 
and for their own purposes, we would not recommend 
Ihem on the ground of economy, as tne grain can gene¬ 
rally be threshed better and faster with die Separator; and 
the simplicity of Hie one ns compared with the other to¬ 
gether with the differenced'skill required in those attend¬ 
ing both kinds, is vastly in favor of the Thresher and 
Separator. Again, with the Separator the straw is more 
valuable, as it is entirely free from the dust, dirt and tine 
chalf which is mixed thoroughly through die whole mass 
by the current of air thrown from a CTvnrr. 
In field threshing and where time is of the greatest con¬ 
sideration. and there is risk from exposure to weather, the 
- traw of little value, larne Cleaners, vvilh more men and 
horses, are often preferable. For further particulars
