The Photographic Grin.— Many of
us have cffteu remarked how differently
our fijend* look in their pictures from
what fhey. do in real life. Under the
above captipn, Dickens, in “All the Year
Hound,” partly explains the matter and
treat# the. subject very readably. He
says:
“In turning over the leaves of an al
bum we" frequently pass our acquaint
ances without even a nod* How is -this?
Thqphotograph may be irreproachable
as a work of art, and it is impossible to
be other a transcript of what wsf
presented at the camera. How comes
it, then, that it is not a likeness ? Sim
ply the original was, at the crit
ical moment, unlike himself. When
about to'be photographed, one is apt to
feel that, like Marshal Ney, the eyes of
Europe are upon him—that, according
to the position he assumes, judgment
will be passed on his. good or bad figure,
awkwardness »or grace. He wishes to
present himself on papet to an admiring
not to a critical public. Placed in a po
sition always chosen by the operator
(being, to save himself the trouble re-ar
ranging accessories, precisely the same
as that which the last sitter occupied,
his head screwed into a vice behind, he
is told to look at out identical]spot on the
wall, and keep still.
Thus posed, he regards further opera
tionk with much the. same feeling of dis
trust as he would those of a dentist. In
imagination; he hears the sharp iattle of
the forceps, or thfi punch. His breath
ing becomes thicker. and quicker as the
critical moment arrives, his heart beats
audibly against his waistcoat, and a. hazy
film falls over his eyes. In this delight
ful condition of mind and body, he is en
joined to ‘keep quite still and put on a
natural expression;’ as if expressions
were as easy to put on as gloves. The
inevitable consequence is, that he ‘grins
horribly a ghastly smile,’ the like of
which never passed over his features be
fore. Yet both operator and sitter won
der why the portrait is so very unlike.

be baled for Transportation, Storage or Consump
tion, is respectfully solicited, to the' PORTABLE
or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by
this Company, under the superintendence of the
.Patentee, Mr. John H. Gove
The Press is very simple ip its construction, re
quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, ana
can be operated by any known power, sichas
Steam, Water, Horse or Hand* In using Horse
power but one horse is required, the Press Veing
so mechanically constructed on a well-known
principle that the £5?” power increases in a greater
ratio than the increasing resistance.
The advantages of this Press over all others*
are as follows, viz ?
Ist. It can press 20 per cent, mofo material in
a giver space.
2d. It can do the work in 33 per cent.less time.
2d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power.
4th. It turns out the best shaped bale for hand
ling or rolling. . .
sth. The Press will last a life-time, ‘he work
ing parts being built of the best of iron, and not
liable to get out of order.
The ordinary work of this machine will press
in one operation (after once filling the box of the
No. 1 Press; a bale of Hay of 450 lbs. weight in
Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of
Hay a day.
Four men without the aid of a horse, or any
power except that contained in the "ress, can
turn out a .bale of hay 27 Inches square by 46 inch
es long, weighing 460 lbs , or 23 1-2 lbs. to the cu
bic foot.
No toggle joints, screws,-cog-wheels, beaters
or rollers used in this Press. V- -
The attention of Cotton factors and planters,
Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially called to
this Press, destined as it is to work a complete
revolution in the now slow, clumsy and expen
sive method of baling.
The Company will dispose of Town, County or
State rights (reserving to themselves only *thf
right to manufacture) on reason able-terms/
