A DICTIONARY OF
Machines, Mechanics, Engine-work and
Engineering.
DESIGNED TOT PRACTICAL WORKING MEN,
And those intended for the Engineering Profession.
EDITED BY
OLIVER BYRNE,
Formerly Professor in the College of Civil Engineers,
London.
To be completed in 40 Nos. Price 25 cents each.
This will be the most practical, as well as the
most perfect, work ever published on Machines,
Mechanics, Engine-work, and Engineering.—
The Mechanic, Engineer, or Machinist, from the
time he commences his profession, till he arrives
at the zenith of the most successful professional
career, will find this an indispensable work of
reference.
The volume will be of royal Bvosize, contain
ing nearly 2,000 pages, and over 0,000 illustra
tions ; it will fill up a chain that has long been a
requirement to practical working-men, and
those intended for the Engineering profession.
It will present Working Drawings and Descrip
tions of every important Machine in practical
use in the United States; and independent of its
American value as embracing the results of
American ingenuity, it will contain a complete
treatise on Mechanics, Machinery, Engine work,
and the substance of at least a thousand dollars
worth of hooks scatteted in expensive folio vol
umes and magazines.
OPINIONS OF TIIE PRESS.
To our numerous Manufacturers, Mechanics,
Engineers, and Artisans, it will be a mine of
wealth .—Providence Journal
We unhesitatingly cc mmmd the work to those
engaged in or interested in mechanical or scien

amination and study. — Troy Budget.
It is truly a great work, and the publishers de
serve the thanks of inventors, machinists and
manufacturers, and indeed of the public gene
ra lly.— lndependent.
This Dictionary will be highly useful to prac
tical mechanics, and valuable to all who wish
to acquaint themselves with the progress of in
vention in the mechanic arts.— Daily Mercury.
Young mechanics ought to keep posted up in
theoretrical as well as practical knowledge, and
this work will show them just how they stand.
[Roxbury Advertiser.
We take it to be just the work that scores and
hundreds of our intelligent mechanics have de
sired to possess. So ample are its descriptions,
and so full and minute its specifications, that it
seems to us that any mechanic might construct
any machine it describes, on the strength of its
engravings and instructions.— Com. Advertiser.
All interested in mechanics should avail them
selves of its an vantages— Schuylkill Journal.
A work of extensive practical utility and great
importance and value to the rapidly increasing
interest of the country. We regard the work as
eminently calculated to promote the cause of
science and the mechanical arts, and to dissem
inate valuable information on these subjects.
[Farmer <f* Mechanic.
Practical men in all the varied walks of me
chanical and manufacturing industry, engineer
ing, &c., will find this work a treasure which it
will be to their profit to possess.— Troy Daily
Whig.
We have carefully perused the numbers, and
have no hesitation in saying that it is the best
work for mechanics, tradesmen, and scientific
men, ever published, for it contains minute in
formation on every branch of the mechanical arts
and sciences, expressed in a style and language
intelligible to any reader of ordinary capacity.

We are sure we are doing the mechanics of
Norwich and other parts of Connecticut, a ser

We consider it one of the most useful and
important publications of the age. No mechan

Courier.
Os all the various publications having for their
object the elucidation and advancement of the
mechanical arts and sciences, none that we have
seen is so full of promise as this.— Buffalo Com.
Adv.
It is the best and cheapest work ever offered
to the scientific and practical engineer and me
chanic. The plates are beautifully executed.

This great Dictionary is one of the most use
ful works which has been published for years,
and the low price at which it is sold makes it ac

Ought to be taken by every one desiring to
keep pace with the progress of art and science
in every one of the labors of civilized life.
[Rondout Courier.

diseases it is intended to cure.”

Writer—“l have witnessed the effects of your “Cher
ry Pectoral” in my own family and that ot my friends,

medicine I have ever known has proved so eminently
faithful in curing diseases of the throat and lungs.”
REV. DR. OSGOOD.

best medicine for Pulmonary Affections ever given to the
pub lie,” and states that “his daughter after being obliged
to keep the room four months with a severe settled
coug/j. accompanied by raising of blood, night sweats,
and the attendant symptoms of consumptions, com
menced the use of the ‘Cherry Pectoral,’ and had com
pletely recovered.”
HEAR THE PATIENT.
Dr. Ayer—Dear Sir: For two years I was afflicted
with a very severe cough, accompanied by spitting of
blood and profuse night sweats. By the advice of my
attending physician I was induced to use your “Cherry
Pectoral,” and continued to do so till I considered myself
cured, and ascribe the effect to your preparation.

Dr. Ayer: I have been long afflicted with Asthma,
which grew yearly worse until last autumn, it brought
on a cough which confined me in iny chamber, and be
gan to assume the alarming symptoms of consumption.
I had tried the best advice and tfie best medicine to no
purpose', until I used your “Cherry Pectoral,” which has
cured me, and you may well believe me.
Gratefully yours, J. D. PHELPS.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare, favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. ‘The medi- I
cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of
teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no aoubt as
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city’ has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines; those who
intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connect# them, cannot be interrupted.

LIKING AND DISLIKING.
He who know the reason, tell me
How it is that instinct still
Prompts the heart to like—or like not —
At Us own capricious will!
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our impressions first are led
Into liking—or disliking—
Oft before a word be said!
Why should smiles sometimes repel us 1
Bright eyes turn our feelings cold ?
What is that which comes to tell us
All that glitters is not gold 1
Oh—no feature, plain or striking,
But a power we cannot shun,
Prompts our liking—or disliking,
Ere acquaintance hath begun!
Is it instinct—or some spirit
Which protects us—and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of souls I
Is it instinct'!—is it nature ?
Or some ireak, or fault of chance,
Which our liking—or disliking—
Limits to a single glance 1
Like presentiment of danger,
Though the sky no shadow flings ;
Or that inner sense, still stranger,
Os unseen—unuttered things !
Is it ?—oh, can no one tell me,
No one show sufficient cause
Why our likings—and disliking?—
Have their own instinctive laws ?
NO SURRENDER.
Ever constant, ever true,
Let the word be, No surrender;
Boldly dare and greatly do!
‘Phis shall bring us bravely through ;
No surrender, No surrender.
And, though fortune’s smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With a magic—No surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
Shouting gladly, N o surrender!
Troubles near are all but past—
Serve them as you did the last;
No surrender, No surrender!
Though the skies bo overcast,
And upon the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast,
Beat them off with No surrender!
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word Is, No surrender ;
Battle, though it be up hill,
Stagger not at seeming ill;
N o surrender, N o surrender:
Hope—and thus your hope fulfill—
There’s a way where there’s a will,
And the way all cares to kill
Is to give them—No surrender!

THE TWO FINGERS.
A Thrilling Tale, Founded on Facts.
BY A. G.
CHAPTER I.
About one mile from Tours, on the road
from Paris to Bordeaux, could have been seen
a few years ngo a tavern of handsome ap
pearance. A large sign was swinging to the
breeze, at the extremity of a tall pole in front
of the door, and the neat and comfortable ap
pearance of the lower rooms invited the weary
traveler to tarry awhile, and refresh himself
within its hospitable walls.
One cold and rainy night, in November,
1818, the landlord, Mr. Everard, an honest
and jovial fellow, his three children, and a
neighbor, were seated around the hearth,
where burnt a sparkling fire of dried vinesand
pithy pine.
“How it does rain !” said Mr. Everard, af
ter a short pause; “the storm has lasted three
days alreach', and I see no sign of its abating.
I have just been looking at the sky; the wind
is east, the clouds are heavy, and the night is
dark as Erebut! No chance for traveling
by such weather as this, and business is dull.
But better times will come ; so let us drink
and be merry. Mary, let us have two bottles
of the best—you know, that in the left cor
ner—”
These words, uttered in a rough tone T>f
voice, which strangely contrasted with the
good-natured features of mine host, round the
yourid girl to whom they wore addressed,
from the kind of reverie in which she seemed
buried ; first she glanced at him, who had thus
roughly addressed her, hut soon making an
effort upon himself, she rose and left the room
to obey his order.
Whoever could have observed the young
girl as she lighted her lamp to go down into
the cellar after the wine, would have been
struck with the immovablencss of her features,
the paleness of her face, which, together
with the air of languorand pensiveness spread
over her countenance, made her resemble a
handsome marble statue, with delicate features
and gracefully chiselled form.
This was the cause of Everard’s constant
reproaches and blunt manners towards the
young girl, for Mary was not his daughter.
Her father was a merchant, once rich, but
who died a ruined man, and her mother, left
a w idow, and without support, a home for
herself and her child.
“Come, come,” said the tavern keeper, as
soon as he perceived Mary returning, with
the bottles in her hands, “the child will kill
me—seo how slow she moves on—don’t she
look as if she had lost her last friend ?”
“Your health, Er. Everard,” said the neigh
bor, who by this time had filled his glass to
the brim.
At this moment, two knocks were heard
at the street door. The landlord and his
neighbor started suddenly, and replaced upon
the table their glasses untouched. Mary felt
a shudder run involuntarily through her
frame.
“Who in the d—l can come at such an hour
and by such a weather ? It cannot be a
traveler, unless some accident should happen
ed to the coach, or—”
Two violent knocks interrupted the land
lord in his reflections. He rose with an anx
ious air, took up a lighted lamp from the ta
bla, and advanced towards the front door, but
before opening it, he asked in a firm voice:—
“Who is there ?”
“A traveler of course ; come open quickly,”
responded a voice outside.
“What do you want?”
“Why! By Jove, I want a bed and some
supper. But zounds! open the door.”
“I beg your pardon, sir,” continued the
landlord, unbolting the door, “Come in, I
pray you. But, do you see, this is a late
hour for a traveler to be about, by such a
weather as this, and as the country is infested
just no, by a band of robbers, one has to be
careful whom he lets in at midnight”
And saying this, he placed his lamp full in
the face of the traveler, and being satisfied
with his honest countenance, and respectable
apnearance, he bowed lowly, bolted the door,
took up the trunk of the stranger upon his
shoulder, and inviting him to follow, showed
the way to the kitchen.
\\ hen Frederick, such was the name of the
traveler, had put aside his cloak, drenched
with water and covered with mud, he sat
down by the fire, opposite the young girl,
whom he had remarked as soon as he enter
ed the room. His first care was to order sup
per, then he added:
“I beg you to make haste, for I must be
off early in the morning and I wish to retire
as soon as possible. I will take the stage for
B—”
“Supper will be ready in ten minutes,” re
plied Everard. “But, it seems to me sir,
that you might have gone on to-night with the
stage to B , instead of stopping here
over night It is only ten miles distant”
“You are curious, Mr. landlord, or rather
you are a little cowardly; you have not quite
got over your fears and anxiety at my arrival.
Well, then I will tell you that my family re
sides in B , and that by going on with
the coach this evening, I would have arrived
in the middle of the night, and disturbed the
whole family, just what I wished to avoid;
whilst by stopping here the rest of the night,
and taking the coach which passes at six, I
will arrive at breakfast time. Is this explan
ation satisfactory ?”
“Perfectly, so,” replied the landlord, abash
ed at the ironical manner in which his guest
had answered his impertinent question.
There was a pause of a few minutes, dur
ing which the eyes of Mary and Frederick of
ten met. Something strange seemed to pass
within the young girl; her face usually so
pale, was flashed and animated; she appeared
surprised and embarrassed.
The landlord announced that supper was
ready. Frederick sat down and ate hearti
ly-
“ Mary,” then said Everard, and soon as
he perceived that his guest had finished his
meal, “light a candle, and show the gentle
man to his room.”
The poor girl rose to obey. Frederick fol
lowed her to a room on the first floor.
“Arc you the landlord’s daughter ?” inquir
ed the young man when he found himself
alone with Mary.
“No, sir,” she replied, blushing to her
eyes.
“I knew you could not be,” said Frederick.
“I knew it at once from those white and del
icate hands, and the blush which covers your
face now. Pray, tell me, have you many
travelers in the house ?”
“You are the only one here to-night,” re
plied the young girl.
“May i ask your name, Miss ?”
“My name, sir, is Mary.”
Both remained silent, and felt embarrass
ed ; for Frederick at once perceived, from her
modest countenance and delicate beauty, that
some strange mystery surrounded the young
girl, and had caused her to bo placed in the
inferior position which she seemed to occu
py-
“Do you wish anything more, sir ?” said
Mary, with evident effort.
“i thank you, nothing,” was all the young
man could reply, and they bade each other
good-night. Mary did not once raise her
eyes, and left the room hastily.
Frederick, motionless, his eyes fixed upon
i the door, where the young girl had disappear
ed, remained for some time, his mind absorb
ed in the strangest thoughts. He could not
account for the strange feelings which the
young girl had suddenly awakened in his
heart, and forgetting his fatigue, he abandon
ed himself to the most delightful reverie.
CHAPTER 11.
When Mary entered the kitchen, she
found another traveler. He was a man ap
parently 40 or 45 years old, tall robust, with
coarse featurse, and broad shoulders. His
looks and general appearance were such, that
wh!h seen once, they never could be forgot
ten.
The only question which the new comer
asked of the landlord during supper, was:
‘Am I the only traveler stopping here to
night ?”
‘No, sir,’ replied the host, ‘There is a gen
tleman in the room next to yours, who arriv
ed about an hour ago.’
The stranger became thoughtful and frown
ed -
‘Do not fail,’ said he, after a few moments,
‘to wake me up at seven in the morning, for
j I must reach Tours before eight —Ah !’ lie ad
| ded ‘remember also to hire a horse for me,
I and have it ready at that time.’
To each of these injunctions Everard nod
ded his head; then he placed a lighted candle
in the hand of Mary, and bade her show the
stranger to his room.
CHAPTER 11.
Frederick had retired ; his lamp was burn
ing upon the table. Still under the impres- J
sion of the strange emotion which had filled
his heart at the sight of Mary, he could not
sleep, notwithstanding the fatigue of two
days traveling. Suddenly a thought struck
him; he arose and taking a small key out of
his pocket, he opened his trunk and took out
a large sword, which he laid on a chair by
the side of his bed.
The old kitchen clock struck twelve. Si
lence reigned throughout the tavern ; every
j one probably was asleep, except perhaps Ma
[ rv, whose heart was beating, and who in her
1 innocence could not account for the new feel
i ings which had entered her heart at the sight
! of the handsome stranger.
Frederick thought he heard a noise, as if
someone was turning a key in the lock.
He listened. The noise had ceased; he
thought it was a dream, and went to sleep
again.
Again a noise was heard. This time he
could not be mistaken ; someone was trying
to get in. He rose carefully, took his sword
and although his lamp had gone out, he ad
vanced towards the door, behind which he
stood motionless.
Five minutes elapsed and the nose ceased.
He thought they had given up the idea of
coming in, for his door was locked inside, and
it would have been hard work to open it, but
accidently casting his eyes down, by the light 1
of the moon, which shone brightly through ,
the window, a hand passed between the floor
and the door, and trying to lift it off the hin- (
ges. / ,
He raised his sword above his head, and ,
Tetting it down with all his might, struck the ,
hand. . <
A strifled cry was heard, and steps quick- ]
ly retreating were soon lost in the distance
in the silence of the night Two bloody fin
gers remained on the floor.
Frederick ran towards the grate, where a few \
coals were still burning, and his lamp being
lighted, ho could contemplate the hideous
trophy of his victory. The first moment of
surprise being over, he picked up the two fin
gers, which he washed carefully with his hand
kerchief.
‘I must confess,” said he to himself, ‘that
for a robber, the fellow’s hands were white
enough, and his finger nails remarkably
neat’
And thus soliloquizing he wrapped the fin
gers into his handkercheif and returned to
bed as if nothing had happened. A quarter
of an hour ufterwards, he was sound asleep.
It was not yet daylight, when the land
lord came up to awake Frederick, who want
ed to start at six. The young man looked
carefully at the hands of the host, and then
related to him, what had happened during the
night At the sight of the blood upon the
floor, the good old man turned pale, and near
ly fainted, but soon recovering himself ho
hastened on towards the room of the other
traveler. The door was open. He entered
and advanced towards the bed. No one was
1 there. Tracks of blood led him to the win
dow, which was also open. He look into the
1 garden, and perceived the marks of heavy
footsteps, in the direction of the road. There
could be no doubt; the mutilated robber was
the soi-disant traveler who arrived the night
before.
It would be difficult to describe tlie anxie
ty depicted upon the countenance of the hon
est landlord at the fatal discovery. He at
once started for the magistrate’s house, and
informed him of the strange affair which had
taken place at his house during the night
CHAPTER IV.
Frederick arrived at his father’s house about
noon. He was not expected, and his arrival
caused the greatest joy. His mother pressed
him to her heart, and his sister’s bestowed
the tenderest marks of affection upon him.
‘Where is my father?’ he inquired, as soon
i as he could withdraw himself from the ca
resses of his delighted family.
‘You know,’ answered his mother, ‘that ho
absents himself frequently. He started three
, days ago on a short journey to one of the
neighboring towns, and w-e expect him back
to-day.’
. ‘My dear father! But is he still as sober
and taciturn as he used to be V
‘I tegret to say that he is,” replied the
mother, with tears in her eyes. ‘He seems to
have some anxiety preying constantly upon
his mine. But I hope your ariival will re
store him to gaiety and happiness.’
Frederick seated himself and related his
adventures and all had been about since he
left the paternal roof.
‘You met with no accident on the journey,
I hope,’ inquired his mother.
‘No nothing of importance,’ replied Fred
erick, ‘except a singular adventure, in the
tavern last evening.’ He then related what
had transpired the night before.
‘I forgot to tell you,’ said he after he had
finished the story, that I brought with me
the irrecusable proof of my victory. And
putting his hand in his pocket he drew forth
a handkerchief which seemed to contain some
object.
At the same moment the door opened and
a man entered. He was pale and haggard;
his clothes were drenched with the ruin. It
was Frederick’s father.
‘Father, dear father. Here we are all to
gether again,’ and he rushed towards his fath
er, holding out his hand ; but his father with
drew his. Frederick had not observed that it
was wrapped with a bandage covered with
blood.
‘What is this ? Are you wounded fath
er ?’
‘Yes, last night as I was crossing a forest
a few miles from here, I was attacked by
some robbers. I attempted to resist, and in
the fight, I lost two fingers. But never mind
my hand will soon be well.’
Suddenly the younger sister who had open
ed the handkerchief which Frederick drop
ped when his father came in, uttered a cry
and exclaimed:
‘Mother, just see ! two fingers in Freder
ick’s handkercheif!’
At these words, all remained motionless
and silent, as if struck v ith lightning; for
they all at once understood that a murderer
was before them!
An hour after Frederick’s father was ar
rested. His bereaved family, struck by their
unexpected misfortune, had not even thought
of securing his escape.
CHAVTER V.
On the 20 of December, the Supremo Court
room of Tours, was thronged with spectators
at an early hour. The greatest anxiety and
impatience prevailed among the crowd, for
the trial about to commence was that of a
father for an attempt of murder upon his son!
A jury was empanneled ; the prisoner was
brought to the bar ; the trial commenced.
After the reading of the indictment, wit
nesses were called to the stand.
John Everard was called. He died a
week before.
Then the young girl appeared. She was
dressed in deep mourning, and kept her face
carefully concealed under a thick veil. It
was Mary.
She raised her hand tremblingly and when
I she was asked whether she knew the prison
er or not, she replied : “No ”
She had purjured herself for her lover’s
father! The testimony of the other witness
es was overwhelming, but the principlal one
was missing. Everard’s testimony alone
would have been sufficient to convict the pris
oner.
After argument of the attotney for Govern
ment, the counsel for the defence began his
plea. He ende.avored to prove an alibi. Ho
said it was obvious that the prisoner could
not have slept at the tavern on the fatal night,
since the unly person who had seen him,
did not recognize him.
‘No, gentlemen/ said he, ‘the prisoner is a
victim and cannot be guilty; it is the knife
of the assassins who has thus mutilated him
and not the sword of his own son.’
‘And here is the proof,” cried a hollow and
trembling voice from the midst of the specta
tors, ‘-here are the relics which I have preserv
ed.
At the same time, two fingers were hurled
upon the desk of the presiding Judge.
These two fingers were examined by tho
jury, and all were satisfied that they had be
longed to the left hand, while the prisoner’s
wounds were on the right one.
The prisoner was acquitted.
Three days after, Frederick was dead
The wound which he had inflicted upon him,
self to save his father’s, life cost him his own.
The next Sunday, at dusk, a young girl
dressed in black, was seen directing her
course towardsthe churchyard. She kneeled
upon a tomb freshly made, prayed for a long
time, and the next morning was found laying
on the ground. Poor Mary died of a broken
heart! /

by corsets, bands, and other ligatures ia said
to be one cause of dyspepsia. - ‘ *■’ n v- :
