POETICAL. THE WHEELBARROW. With a big boUle-nose and an acre of chin, H • whole physiognomy frightful as inn, "With a huge fri anted wig, anil triangular hat, And a Nmn-brsmeaml handkerchief tie.! over that; doctor Boa, riding out on his fierce Kosinante, tin hair very rich, but of flesh very scanty,") Was a littleslann'd, through a seal for Ins bones, Seeing Hodge cross the road with a barrow of stones, H:p! friend, roar’d the Doctor, with nn little force, Briilu-e set down your barrow, ’twill frighten my horse. Ifmlge us quickly replied as an Hrskine or Harrow, "" Your a d—d ileal more likely to frighten my barrow.” A HOPEFUL REFORMATION. A jolly wight, who dearly loved his glass, A neighboring dram-shop never known to pass, Most always stop to wet his p.pes, ami then Could omviwd jog, but sonn to call again. At length !i* friends, his conscience gave lit’alarm, II is bleeding parse, too, called fin- quick reform, Anil when fie next had cause to pass the shop, His mind he firmly settled not to stop : ■'Stick to it Resolution,” was theory, As ott he push’d, his purpos’d strength to try. Till passed—then said, *• the habit's quite defeated, "Comeback now, kmolutios, anil be treated.” RELIGIOUS. <i>i >y of a letter from a gcnllcmhu in Oglethorpe, to his Friend in Wilkes county. Dear Sir—Relative to temporal concerns, 4 have nothing important or interesting to Communicate; in fact, temporary objects are not worthy to engross tile attention or ■affections—for they are all transitory and Jrrish in the using. Every tiling attached to this world cannot satisfy an immortal Anind. Alexander the great, after bccomin: master of the world, so far from being satis fied or happy, wept, because ho had not an other world to conquer. But virtue, morali ty, piety, devotion, these arc immortal; the possession and exercise of these are calcu lated to satisfy and beatify an immortal $oul. My dear sir, there is a reality in reli gion ; and if you would be happy in time or eternity, you must enjoy religion ; you must know your sins forgiven, and feel the love of God shed abroad in the heart; you must take up your cross daily, and follow your ■Saviour through evil, as well as good report. Ay, there’s the rub! This is w h at prevents thousands from embrttring religion. It is a eiviss to nature, a cross to the flesh, a cross to tiie carnal mind ; but if you would seo the kingdom of Heaven, you must deny your self, you must mortify the deeds of the body ; for “if you live after the flesh, you shall die,” kcc. In my reflections on this subject, 2 will first state, that all the honor, power, grace and glory arc attached to Deity ; se condly, I will givo you this very just maxim ; We may as well expect, that God will make iis rich without industry, as that he will make us wise, good or happy, without our own en deavors. Perhaps you have imoibed Cal- Tinistic principles, and say, if I am to be Saved, 1 will be saved ; or I am waiting the JLord’s good time to give me religion.—Mj dear sir, the Lord’s time is now ; now is the. accepted time and day of salvation. To day, if you will hear bis voice, harden not your heart. The great God hath said, lie will be sought unto ; and he hath promised, in the day that you will seek him with your whole heart, he will be found of you pr >fanenfes9 and aft the niorfil evils that ate perpetrated iiitlie world ? If you will seri ously reflect, you will find in yourself an a- vershm to Godliness, and a propensity to c- vil and to wander from God. , tin serious ■re flection, you will also feel, at times, a wish, a desire to do better, to flee tho wrath to come, and finally to get to Heaven ; this is a ray of divine light, the inspiration ahd at traction of the good spirit. Again, you arc a sinner against God, by nature and prac tice ; tile justice and purity of Deity cannot look on sin with the least allowance. The soul that sins, shall die. Hence you may discover the propriety and necessity of the plan of redemption. It was the business of our Saviour to extricate us from this wretch ed state of sin and misery, and to reinstate us in tire favour of God, and God hath de clared himself well pleased with the propi tiatory Sacrifice of bis Son. In another place lie asks, what more- could have been dwic, than 1 have done for my vineyard. He liafh done every thing possible, consistent With his nature and the nature of man. lie hath made salvation possible for yo.-—li»r all 5 aiul invites and woos you by bis word and Spirit to come and receive it on (he terms of the. gospel. As above observed, you are a rational intelligent being, capable of dis cerning good and evil. You are irresistibly enlightened, convinced and convicted. Life, and death arc set before you ; you have pow er to choose or refuse. Now, sir, you are a free agent; choose whom you will obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. If you will yield obe dience to the mandates of Heaven ahd the dictates of the holy spirit, God hath promised to assist, direct and support you, and you will be led on from one grade of religion to another, tiil you finally land in tho paradise of God. That you may yield to be saved from sin ; that you inay be happy in the love of God in time, and consummately hap py in eternity is the prayer of yours sincere ly* R., A O Lord, my Cod, to thee I p:* *y, Teach me to know and find the way. How I may have my sins forgiven■, And safe and surely get to Heaven. CfiLdetliou, O Lord, guide thou mv course, Anti draw me on by ihv sweet force, fitdl ni. kc me walk, still make me tend, fly thee my way, to thee my end. ARTS § SCIENCE. THE COMPLETING PRINTING PRESS, in our last number we mentioned that the Literary Gazette was the only Journal in the world printed by this most admirable machine, ami as a matter of extraordinary mechanical interest we subjoin a brief ac count of the process by which about a thou sand of these large sheets ai*c per hour pro dured by Ibis magical invention. The beau ty of the movements, their rapidity, their precision are cnchanccd to the imagination by the nature of the operation they perform : it looks as if mind and not matter were at work. We see a boy lay a while sheet of paper upon the webb (here described) What and while we tell three it is received by an- can be more explicit and positive? Perhaps I other boy, as flower comes from the mill, a you have imbibed Armenian principles, ami Say, at a more convenient season, I intend to turn to God and get religion.—Perhaps that more convenient season will never ar rive. God hath said, my spirit shall not a!- *Vays strive with man.—You tiave no lease of your life.—Be'not deceived.—God is not mocked. He commands all men every where to repent. Repent ye, and believe the gos pel. But, any you, repentance and faith are the gift of God. That is truth, unerring truth; and my dear sir, what <i» it attached to you or yours, that is not the gift of God ? All that you have and are, is either dim tlywgrnts at least two incidental attractions, in r indirectly the gift of God—Abstract from addition to those which have been already Deity, you would be nought and could do no thing. ' “ It is in him we live, move anil have our being. LA cry good an perfect gift com- cth down from the Father of lights,” Now, my friend, interrogate yourself; what am I ? Are you a mere machine, or a mere animal ?' If you will lend me your serious attention, Bv the grace of God, I w ill endeavor to tell you what you are.—-There are two first prin ciples, of which the universe consists; that io. spirit and matter. As respects your for mation or composition ; you arc a complex being, composed of these two first principles, i. o. spirit and matter, or soul and body.— Relative to your duration; your material part, the body, will shortly be extinct, and mingle with its mother dust; blit the soul cannot die, it must live forever, either in consummate felicity, or in interminable woe anil misery.—Relative to your nature ; the Celebrated Mr. Weems observes, that man has three natures j the animal, the rational and the div ine. The«nimalhature isattaciicd to the body, the rational and divine, to the soul. Now, sir, which would you call your better self, or which is worthy of the great est attention and cultivation, your material or immortal part. You at e a rational, intc+li- gent being, and rational intelligence involves accountability ; accountability involves go vernment; and government involves obedi ence. Again, you are a depraved being, perfect newspaper, printed on both sides wilt a degree of unequalled force, clearness, and correctness. A more gratifying scene than’ the action of this piece of mechanism, it is impossible to conceive ; it seems the very climax of human ingenuity, and if ever a filing of the kind merited public admiration and acknowledgement, we hesitate not to say that, it, is this wonderful apparatus. Prin ted in the house where Samuel Johnson, liv ed and died, by a machine ascurioua and un ique as his endowments were stupendous and mrivalied ; the Literary Gazette now pre- lionnurcd with such cheering encouragement Wc request the nutipcof our readers to our^iagc as a speeimvtf of thcarthf printing by the singular means devised and perfected as below explained. About ten years ago Mr. Bcnsley was ap plied to by Mr. lyfuiig, a Saxon, who submit ted to him proposals for joining him in the prosecution r,r a plan for improving the cnininoiiprihiiiig press, which consisted chief ly in moving the press by machinery, by which the labour of one man might be saved. A press was formed on this plan ; J)ut the result was so unsatisfarto'ry as to induce the rejection of it altogether. It will readily bo conceived that this resolution was not ta ken till after numberless experiments had rendered the prospect of success hopeless. The idea of cylindrical impression now pre sented itself, which had been attempted by others without success ; and a machine on this construction was completed, after en countering great difficulties, at the close of the year 1812. It may.be proper here to in troduce. an outline of its operation. The form (i. e. the composed types) is pla ced on a carriage or coffin, which is constant ly passing under the inking cylinders, obtaining a coat of ink in its ingress and e- gress ; these cylinders have a lateral and rotary motion, for the purpose of equaling the ink before it is communicated to the to tho fctnds of tto boy tvhfi waits to tecivc it. This is termed n single maenmo; by the assistance ol two boys it prints > ->0 sheets on one side per hour. As dispatch, however, is of the utmost importance to a news paper, it was deemed advisable to con struct wliat is called a double machine. This differs in no respect from that above de scribed, excepting the addition of a second printing cylinder, by which means, with the assistance of fobr boys, U00 sheets are prin ted within the boar on one side. The ma chines used for printing tho Times newspa per arc on this plan, and have now been con- strtntly in use since November* 1814- After the Times machines were constructed, the grand improvement ol the completing ma chine was suggested, so called fur its deliv ering the sheet priiited on botli sides.* Il has a double inking and printing apparatus with two carriages or coffins, each, large e- noiigh to admit a double demy form 34 1-2 by 21 inches. The paper is laid on an end less webb called the feeder, which revolves at intervals, tlicncc the sheet passes into the machine, and is ejected in a lew seconds printed on both sides. By this means 900 sheets are struck off in an hour, printed on both sifles, oi“ 1800 impressions, if the double sized paper be used, 3000 single impressions. Two boys and an overlooker arc all the as sistance requisite, and a steam engine ut one horse jlower is sufficient force to impel it. The Patentee must feel a just pride in the completion of such an arduous undertaking, after so many years of labour and txpcn.se ; and it is not the least gratifying circumstance attending it, to consider that in England so important an invention has been matured, which had been previously rejected by all the principle cities on tiie continent; for the in ventor (Mr. Konig) spent not less than two years in seeking patronage in Germany and Russia, till at length, to use his ow n words, lie was << compelled to take refuge in Eng land, the only country where mechanical in ventions are duly rewarded.”—Lit. Gaz. Error in Surveying—Nothing is more Common than that two surveyors should dif fer in their results of the estimate of the same survey. It frequent iy happens also, that the same Surveyor, with the same chain and compass, will produce different results. This difference proceeds in most cases from a variation in the length of the chain. For every time the chain is stretched, the rings which join the links will give. Also if tiie chain is used in wet ground and particularly in ground adjacent to salt water, the iron is corroded) and the rings become much thin ner ; tiie consequence of which is, that tiie more a chain is used tho longer It bcciunps. We have knowm a four pole chain, after be ing in use six months, extend fourteen in ches—Every Surveyor ought therefore to measure Ids chain before he commences.— We have seen chains that have been in con stant use for several years, three feet longer than their proper length, withuut the circum stance having been noticed by the possessor. In surveying land which is valuable an error of this sort produces the most important consequences.—Petersburg Intelligencer. FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
