Hark! What soands as¢ail an ear ? 
Hark ! a suppliant voice I hear! 
** Ope, (it cries), ah, ope thy door, 
Friendly shelter I implores 
Yield relief——I sink ——I die, 
Drown’d by torrents from the sky !* 
Swift I grant the stranger’s pray’ r3 
And, tho’ darkness fills the air, 
By a splendours of his face 
Cupid’s witching form I trace. 
Pieas’d, I fan my fading fite, 
Qaick I dry his wet attire, 
And, by warmth and gen’rous Wine, 
Renovate my guest divine. 
When, grasping his redoubted bow,

If this string has lost its paw’r 
From the late tremendous show’r.”” 
Th’ elastic bow he instant tries ; 
Strong the whirring arrow flies, 
Aim’d, alas, (ungrateful part!) 
Ajim’d at my defenceless heart. 
Thus, by those whom most we aid, 
Thus, are benefits repaid. M.STARKE.

SONNET, 
TO A FAIR RECLUSE. 
O# form angelic! love-inspiring maid! 
What Muse shall dare to paint thy worth? 
Blest with each charm to grace exalted 
birth: 
Flics all its foliies—-woos the humble shade. 
Seeks in its lone-sequester’d bow’ss, 
A balm for keen Reflection’s hours ; 
Views Nature in her ioveliest state, 
Tastes those soft grin she alone car 
give ; 
Thy hope in Heav’n, can’st smile at Fate : 
Resign’c to all below—shews Man to live! 
This, bright example of a better age, 
Is all my feeble numbers dare presage: 
If to thy care the female worid were giv’a, 
Foily lies crush’d—=W oman terrestrial Heav’a?

PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. 
WR. THOMAS ROBINSON’S (SALEHURST, 
SUSSEX), for a Mashing Machine. 
2 Maree principal object to be attained 
by this machine is the saving of 
Jahour, inasmuch ‘as in a tub not ex- 
ceeding thirty quarters, the malt may = 
worked by one man turning a winch, 
nearly as short a time aa if done ay a 
horse, which requires from fifteen to 
iwenty minutes. The machine may be 
thus described: In the centre is an up- 
right shaft, on which is fixed a wheel; 
this is moved by another connected by 
a shaft with the herseewheel, or turned 
by means of steam, wind, or water. From 
this shaft projects a beam, ove end of 
which turns loosely on a collar on the 
shaft, the other end runs on the edge of 
the tub on two small rollers, one fixed 
on e2eh sidé of the said beam. On the 
upright. shaft 1s a wheel, which, commu. 
nicating with another, turns the agitator 
or stirrer, composed of an upr ight spin- 
dle, in which gre inserted vanes or blades 
of iron; the upper parts of these work 
ina box through the centre of the beam, 
the lower parts through the beam or bar 
tne 
ef ion. One end of the gaid bar works 
in a collar near the bottom of the shaft, 
the other near the outside of the tub,. 
where it is suspended by a forked bar, 
the upper ends of which are screwed on 
each side of an arm, On the top of the 
agitator or spindle is a wheel communi- 
. cating with another which turns the agi- 
tator; on the spindle of which there is 
a pinien tarning another wheel, and that 
working in teeth fixed round the inside 
of the tub, carries the machine furward, 
whereby the goods are moved, and the 
liquor completely blended. The struc- 
ture of this machine is such, that it can 
be worked with great facility in an oval 
tub, by means of the shaft being formed 
crankwise, and a pinion placed between 
the wheels, by which means the machine 
and shaft will work in contrary direc. 
tions, and give it the necessary elliptic 
motion. Where the tub is of small dia- 
meter, the machine may not require more 
than one agitator, but if larger, it may ~ 
be necessary to have two, three, or four. 
Another adv antage attaching to this ins 
vention is, that the agitators or stivrers 
‘of this machine working horizentally, 
hot expose the liquor to the: ute
