                                  — o —

C. S. in thanking the public of the vicinity for their approbation of his
Press,—a patronage the more flattering from its continued
increase,—respectfully intimates that he has made that encouraging
success a basis of more extended operations, by considerably increasing
the materials necessary to the creation of an efficient typographical
Establishment; at the same time believing those additional efforts will
win the desired response anticipated from past friends, and commanding
the confidence of many who have not yet tested his capacity, will result
in the acquisition of prospective and satisfied customers.

      Engraved,           a printing press]          From Plate,

impossibility.

more deserving notice than the Chamber Exercising Horse, particularly for
persons who cannot take pedestrian or equestrian exercise.  This truly
useful machine exceeds any other yet invented for the relief of persons
inclined to dormancy.  It is well known that a carriage affords little or

similar to the canter of the managed or trotting horse, and by the use of

Lines.


   Before the sea a diver stood,
   Prepared to spring into its flood;
   But soon returning to the shore,
   Within his hand a pearl he bore.

   With pleasure beamed his sparkling eyes,
   To learn the value of his prize;
   “Yet! yet!” he cried, “’neath yon deep main,
   Lies treasure still,—I dive again.”

   Then, leaping with superior force,
   He fearless flew his venturous course,
   To search once more the ocean’s bed,
   While billows rolled above his head.

   Not unrewarded was his toil,—
   Uprising with a richer spoil,
   He found the land, yet, fainting, sighed
   More distant waters to divide.

   “How mean this wealth my hands have gain’d
   To the vast hoards that lie contained,
   ’Neath deeps my daring cannot reach,”
   Murmured his discontented speech.

   “Were this frame gifted with the power,
   To gather gems through every hour,
   Too short a thousand years would be,
   To scour the margin of that sea.”

   But there’s an ocean more sublime,
   Washing the tiny isle of Time,—
   How far across, no sage can say,
   Nor guess how low its bottom lay.

   ’Tis Truth’s deep sea, of bounds unknown,
   Where gifted spirits long have thrown
   Their mighty vision, till their eyes
   Nigh wearied with its mysteries.
