Unrivalled Improvement in Water Wheels.
'PHB subscribers are sole agents for makingand
da. vending the best Water Wheel in the world,
known as Vandcwater’s Water Wheel. We chal
lenge the wor.d to p duce its equal. It has but re
cently been irirod ed to the public, and found to
be far in advance of all other wheels, both in power
and economy in water, every drop being effective,
and none wasted. This W heel is not in the 1 st af
fected by bad water. As we prefer them beir j pla
ced below tail water in every instance, consequently
we get every inch of head; they being entirely of
cast iron, and simple of construction, are not liable
to get out of order, and are more durable than any
wheel now in ns. We have recently put one in
opeidtion for George Schley, Esq., at his Bell
ville Cotton Factory, to whom we would give refer
ence. See Certificate annexed.
All orders for Wheels or Territorial Rights, will
meet with attention by addressing the subscribers.

Jagoer. Tbeadwbll & Perry—Gentlemen:
I have the gratification of informing you that your
Vandewater Wheel was successfully put in ope
ration at my FacUay last week, and it worked to
perfection. Its simplicity, durability, and uniformity
of speed, are recommendations alone; but above all,
its highest encomium is the small quantity of water it
takes, as compared with other wheels. I have been
using one of Reuben Rich’s Center Vent Wheels, of
three feet and a half diameter, aaj eleven inch
bucket, the discharge openings measuring 400 inch
es. 1 displaced that and put in one of yours of six
feet diameter, with discharge openings measuring
270 inches, and your wheel run the same amount of
machinery that the Rich Wheel had driven, and
there was a difference in favor of yours of eight
inches in the depth of water in the tail race. I feel
no hesitation in recommending your wheel to all man
ufacturers, end Mill owners, believing it is the great
est wheel of the age. Wishing you success in the
introduction of so valuable an improvement, I re
main, very respectfully, yours, Ac.

THE FLOWER-BASKET.
TRANSLATED FOM THE GERMAN
—or —
THE RET. CHRISTOPHER SCHMID.
About a century ago there lived in the small
market-town of Eichburg a very prudent and
honest man called Jacob Rhode. When he
first came to Eichburg he vas very youug, and
worked as an assistant in the gardens belonging
to the count, who resided in the castle of Eieh
burg. Jacob’s many excellent endowments,
his kindness of heart, and the activity which
he manifested, together with his prepossessing
appearance, soon gained him the good will o‘
all who knew him, as well as of the count
himself. He was often employed in many
little offices about the castle ; and as the count,
who was a s that time a young man, had occa
sion to (ravel, Jacob was among his attendants.
Daring his travels Jacob had taken care to
store his mind with a vast variety of knowledge,
as well as to acquire a more polished speech and
demeanor : but what was of more importance
still, he brought back his honest heart uncor
rupted by the evils of the great world in which
he had been moving, in consequence of this,
the count was induced to reward the faithful
services of Jacob, and provide for him a more
profitable situation. Jacob might thus have
become steward in the palace which the count
possessed in the metropolis ; but he always had
a longing for the peaceful quiet of rural life,
and as the lease of a small farm at Eich
burge, belonging to the count, had just ex
pired, Jacob requested that it might be let to
him. The count immediately granted him the
farm for his lifetime requiring only as much
wood and grain as might be necessary for the
family, instead of money rental. Jacob mar
ried at Eichburg, and maintained his family by
the produce of his farm, on which he had
erected a comfortable dwelling house, siti ated
in the midst of a large and beautiful garden,
one half of which was planted with fruit-trees,
while the other furnished vegetables and other
necessaries.
After Jacob had lived for many years, in the
enjoyment of domestic blessedness, his wife,
who was in every respect an amiao’e woman,
was suddenly taken away from him by death.
His grief for some time was unspeakably
great, and the good man, now advanced in
years, under went a visible change, his hair
was now become gray. His sole joy and
comfort was his little daughter, about five
yeas of age, who alone ot several children
had been spared to him. She was called
Maria, after her mother, whose very image
she seemed to be. The child was already un
commonly beautiful, and es she grew up her
beauty received a peculiar sweetness from her
piety, innocence, modesty, rod unfeigned
kindness toward every one. There was
something so indescribably sweet and attrac
tive in her countenance, that her glance fell
on the heart like the smile of a guardian spirit.
Maria had scarcely reached her fifteenth year
when she had learned to manage the whole
affairs of the little household in the best possi
bio manner. In the comely parlor a particle
of dust was never seen, in the kitchen ail the
utensils glittered as if they were new, and the
whole house was a pattern of regularity and
cleanliness. Besides this, she was accustomed
to assist her father in the garden with unin
termitrng industry: and the hours she so
spent with him were among the happiest of
her life.
Indeed, the garden of old Jacob was the
most beautiful in the whole district; for as his
daughter shared his own passion for beautiful
flowers, he encouraged her taste by procuring
every rare plant he could hear of, and their va
rious excellences furnished the good man with
constant topics of instruction and entertain
ment. The greatest ornament of the garden
was a small apple tree, not larger than a rose
bush, which grew in a plot in the middle of the
garden. The father had planted it on the
day of Maria’s birth, and every year the little
tree produced beautiful gold and purple streak
ed apples. Once it bloomed with peculiar
beauty, and was covered over with blossoms.
Maria noticed it every morning. ‘Oh, how
beautiful! The whole tree appears nothing
but a large nosegay of flowers One morning,
in visiting the garden she found that the frost
bad nipped it, the blossoms wore destoyed—all
green and yellow, and crumpled together by
the heat of the sun. Maria wept at the sad
sight. ‘ Thus,’ said her father to her, 4 thus
is the bloom of virtue destroyed by sinful
pleasure. Oh, child, tremble at temptation f
You see how it shall be with you, not for a
year only but for your whole life, if but once
those high hopes entertained of thee should
be allowed to disappear. Then, like thee,
should I weep tears of heartfelt grief and sor
row. Not a moment of happiness should
then be left me on earth ; with a broken heart
and sorrowful eye I should sink into my lonely
grave,’ The tears stood in his eyes, and his
words made a deep and lasting impression on
the tender-hearted Maria. In this manner,
under the care of a loving and prudent father,
Maria grew up blooming as a rose, innocent
as a lilly, modest as a violet, and hopeful as a
tree-full of beautiful blossoms. With many a
peaceful smile the old man admired his beauti
ful garden, which so well rewarded his in
dustry and care, but with still greater gratitude
and satisfaction did he observe the more beau
tiful fruit which his instructions and caro were
daily producing in his beloved child.
One morning in the beginning of May, Maria
had been in the neighboring wood to cut some
willow and hazel twigs, of which her father
was accustomed to make neat little baskets ;
there she had found some May-flowers, the
first of the season, which she gathered and
made into nosegays, one for her father and
the other for herself When she was going
home through the meadow, the Counter of
Eichburg and her daugher Amelia met her.
They commonly resided in the metropolis, and
had come to Eichburg only a few days before.
As soon as Maria saw the two ladies, she stepped
aside to make room for them on the narrow
footpath, and remained respectfully standing
at a little distance.
‘So there are May-flowers already I ’ said
the young countess, addressing Maria, who
immediately offered a nosegay to each, which
they accepted with pleasure, and the countess,
drawing out her purse, wished to give some
thing to Maria.
But Maria said, ‘ Oh, no, I can accept noth
ing ! Will your excellency be so kind as to
allow a poor maiden, who has received many
favors at your nand, the pleasure of contribu
ting slightly to your enjoyment withoutlhinkiiig
of any recompense ?
The countess gave a friendly smile, and re
quested Maria to come every morning to the
castle with a nosegay as long as there were any
May flowers to be had. Amelia took great de
light in Maria s excellent understanding, and
serene and lively disposition, and the pleasure
| was so much increased by her modesty and
| artless behavior, that Maria often spent many
hours in the company of the young countess
long after the flowers of May had withered.
Amelia at Isst gave her distinctly to understand
that as she wished to have her always near her,
8 “® wo ®W take her into her service.
The girl on her part had become very much
attached to the young countess, and when her
birthday approached she bethought herself of
making her some simple present. During the
past winter her father had presented her with
every elegant work-basket, and Maria deter
mined to fill it with flowers, and present it to
Amelia on her natal day. Having gathered
the loveliest the garden produced, she arrang
ed them in the most tasteful manner, twining
round the side of the basket a circlet of rose
buds.'and green moss, and surrounding Ame
lia's name and cresiwith a little wreath of for
get-me-not. Then she showed her work to
her father, who regarded it with a complacent
smile, and setoff with a light heart to the castle,
to present it, with his good wishes and con
gratulations.
The young countess was seated at her toilet,
and her maid was dressing her hair for the
festival of her birth. Amelia was uncom
monly delighted, and could hardly find words
to express her admiration. Oh, come with me
to my mother !’ said she, rising ; and taking
Maria by the hand, led her to the next room
where the countess was. ‘Ok, look here mam
ma !’ cried she as soon as she reached the door.
‘Whtt an uncommonly beautiful present Ma
ria has brought me. You never saw such a
fine basket, and 1 am certain you cannot find
more*exquisite flowers anywhere.’
The countess was highly gratified with the
present. ‘lndeed,* said she, ‘it is very lovely ;
I wish 1 had a painting of it I The little bas
ket with the flowers, on which the dew is still
resting, would make such a beautiful flower
piece. The present does great honor to Ma
ria’s good taste, but much more to her kind
heart. Stay here a little, my child,’ said she to
Maria, at the same time nodding to Amelia to
follow her into the next apartment. ‘We can
not allow Maria to go without a present,’ said
she to her daughter. ‘What do you think we
can give her 7’
Amelia thought for a moment. *1 think one
of ray dresses would be the best thing, dear
mamma; and if you will allow me, 1 would
give her the one with the pretty red and white
flowers on the dark green ground. It is little
worse than new, for 1 have only had it on a
few times, and it would make a holiday dress
for Maria; she can easily alter it to suit her
eof. If you have no objection, I will give it to
her.’
‘Surely, surely,’ said the countess; ‘when
one makes a present they ought always to give
something that will be useful. Go now, my
good children/ said the countess, as she and
Amelia came back to Maria, ‘and look after
the flowers that they do not wither before din
ner time. For as we have guests to day, the
flower basket will be the greatest ornament
on the table. 1 leave Amelia to thank tinee,
Maria.’
Amelia took Maria to her own apartment,
and ordered her maid to go and fetch the
dress.
Nancy (so wes the maid called) remained
standing. ‘Your ladyship will not wear that
dress to day f ” said she.
‘No/ B*Md Amelia; ‘I will present it to Ma
ria.’
‘That dress !’ said she snappishly. ‘Does
your mamma know of it ?’
‘Bring the dress/ said Amelia, rather quickly,
‘and let me care for the rest.’
Nancy turned hurriedly away to conceal her
vexation. Her face was red with anger; she
tore the dress of the young countess ill na
tarediy out of the trunk. *IF I durst only tear
it to tatters/ spidshe ; ‘before that garden beg
gar should get it ! For one thing she hes sto
! leia from me (he favor of my lady, end laow
she comes to steal this dress from me too ; for
all. cp*»t-off dresses belong to me of right. Oh, I
could scratch the eyes out of the little flower
dealer ! Neucy restrained her rage as well as
she could, when she entered the room again,
and gave the to Amelia.
‘Dear Maria/ said Amelia, ‘I have got more
expensive presen s to day than yours; but
none mote acceptable or beautifal. Tha
flowers in this dress are not so lovely as yuurs
but I believe you will not despise them for my
sake. Accept this dress ss a token of good
will, and remember me kindly to your father.’
Nancy commenced her duties again full of
xage, envy and disappointment, indeed it
cost her no small effort to prevent Amelia dis
covering how much she was moved, while she
was busy dressing her hair.
‘Are you angry?’ said Amelia quietly.
‘lt would be very stupid to be angry because
you are so kind/ said Nancy.
‘That is very sensibly spoken/ said Amelia,
‘and I trust you also judge as reasonably.’
Maria full of joy, hastened home with her
handsome dress. Out her prudent father felt
no great joy on account of such a present.
■Shaking his grey head, he said, ‘I had rather
yon had not taken the basket to the castle*. I
seta great value on the dress, as being a pres
ent from my gracious mistress; but lam afraid
it may cause others to envy us and make thee
vain my child. Be. therefore, on thy guard,
my dear Maria, that nothing evil come of it.
Modesty and prudent behaviour are better
clothing for a maiden than the most expensive
and splendid dresses ’
Scarcely had Maria tried on her beautifal
dress, folded it carefully up again, and locked
it away in her trunk, when the young coun
tess, pale and trembling, came into the house
almost out ojf breath.
‘For God’s sake, Maria/ ‘what have you
done ? My mother’s diamond ring is lost, and
no one has been in her apartment but you.
Give it rne back quickly and prevent worse
consequences ? Come, quick, and the matter
will vet be made up ?’
Maria was terrified, and became asjpale as
death. ‘Oh, God ?’ said she/ what is this T I
have no ring ; I never saw a ring in tbs room ;
I never fclirred from the spot where you left
me.’
