'JtftijlS valuable improveincut in th appticatiou JL of water t ower, is now comrieted and in suc cessful operation at the Cool Spring NT ills in this Towt.. The invention was designed to sa e water in it operation, and thereby remedy the difficulty now existing on account of its scaicity. This wheel will perform the same labor with less than half the water required to drive the tub-wheel, and if ap plied i n place of the flniter-wheel the savin.s must be sti.l srr atcr. The nuniber of Mills (now in op eraiion by these wheels) that become scarce of wa ter in the summer, i supposed to average 80 or 90 p -r cent. 1 1 th sf Mi lis c;in be sueccest'ullv operal ed with even hnlfthe water now required, it is ob vious that the supply of water will be abundant. The Inclined Water Wheel in its construction can be placed at any elevation to .uif the condtron of the pond, thereby securinr a suflii ient head above the wheel, which i i:npon-jrif to sili mills w he -e the water is at any tim-; liable to become scare-. In Ibis pnrtieular thcTriclined u atcr wheel has a decid ed advantage above the Overshot, which requires a sufTieient fall and constancy of wa U-r, and ia also expensive in its construe! ion : Whereas, the In clined Water Wheel can he bui't at much less ex pense can be successfully applied to any mi 1 or machinery that is propelled by water, and will run well in back water. This Wheel is said to rank in power with a hiIi breast wheel, an-j can b reared with either cogs or bands, but the latter being con sidered cheaper and more durable, I Inve adopted them. Having oStained a Patent in December last, I have abstained Iro'n giving publicity tothe inven tion, or oflVring to sell any Ilights, until othi-rs, as well as myself, should become satisfied of its advan tages. I am now ready to dispose of the risbt to .ise said invention by count ies, di..fricf and States as nlso single rights. Millwrights, Mill owners, ant! in-' purine generally are mviN'd to call and ex amine tli- invention. i He mic lunerv, a rrprfsented in the p ate above, can he mnde more simple, by which one half of the expanse of construction will be di mmishcd, but the amount ot water saved will be less.

PJSISTSATUS, 'w Hippocrates, and whr .alshed by his valor id rfielti f - hia address and eloqtieuce Mf feT. After he had ren dered himself ibelevbrite of the populace by hid liberality, upd jby the intrepidity with which he had foughijltreir battles, particulaily near Solum!, he resolved to make himself master of his. country. ijisistrntua was not disheartened by the measures of his relation Solon, but he had recourse to artifice. The people too late perceived their credulity ; yet, though the tyrant was popular, two ofthe citi zens, Megacles apd Lycurgus, conspired to gether against him, and by their means he was forcibly ejected from the city. The private dusensious ot the friends of liberty proved favorable to the expelled tyrant, and Megacles, who was jealous "of Lycurgu, secretly promised to restore Pisistratus to nil his rights and privileges in Athens, if he would marry his daughter. Pisislratud consented, and by the assistance of his father-in-law, he was soon enabled to expel Ijycurgus. and to re-establish himself. In the midst of hit tri umph, however, Pisislratus felt himself un supported, and some time after, when he re pudiated the daughter of Megacles, he found that not only ihe citizens, but even his vory troops weie alienated from him by the influ ence, the intrigue, and the bribery ot his faiher-in-law. He (led from Athens, where he could no longer maintaiu bis power, and retired to Eu bcea. Cleveu years after, he was drawn from his obscure retreat by means of hij son Hip pias, and he was a third time received by the people of Athens as their master and sovereign. He died about 527 years before the Christian era, after he had enjoyed the sovereign power at Athens for 33 years, including the yeats of his banishment. Real dreams, though the person was not at the time sensible of having slept, nor conse quently, of having dreamed. A person under the influence of sjme strong mental impres sion, drops aslerp for a few seconds, perhnps without being sensible of it ; some scene or person counecled with the scene nppettrs in a dream, and he statts up under the conviction that it was a spectral appearance. The an alogy between dreaming and spectra! illu sions is beautifully illustrated by an anecdote which I received lately from the gentleman to whom it occurred, an eminent medical friend. Having sat op late one evening, un der considerable anxiety about one of his children ho was ill, he fell asleep in his chair, and had a frightful dream, in which Ihe prominent figure was an immense baboon". He awoke with the fright, and walked to a' ta ble which was in the middle of ihe loom. He was then quite awake and quite conscious of the articles around him ; but close b? the wall, in the end of the apartment, he distinctly saw the baboon making the same horrible grim aces which he had seen in his dream; and the spectre continue. I visible fur about half a minute. Jlbercrombie. It is said that an offer was made to Milton, of holding the place of secretary under the king, which he had discharged wiih so much ability under Ciomwtl! ; but he persisted in refusing it, though his wife pressed his com pliance. ' Thou art iu the right,' said he ; 'you, as other women, would ride in your coach ; for me, my aim is to live and die an honest mau.' Fact.' When yu see a moderate drinker grasp the glass broadly in his hand, and turn the back of it towards the landlord, that he may not see the quantity of liquor he has help ed himself to, depend upon it that fellow has passed the Rubicon, and is no longer a mod- crate drinker, but on the quick march to drunk enness. When you see a man approve of temperance in the abstract, and at the same time declare that he don't believe a glass of good liquor now and then will hurt any man, and places great emphasis on the word good, set it down that that fellow loves rum, and that Old Alch has a mortgage on the fellow's guz zle, and will foreclose it unless he can be brought to sign the pledge. Women in hot water. Two women who lived in Ihe same house in Cincinnati, one up stairs iu the second story, aud one iu the cellar, quarrelled about something. The tip stairs woman was while, the down stairs woman mulatto. The letter stood on iho side walk below, aud was addressed by the second story lodger from her own wiudow. What was the subject of dispute, is irot precisely known; but words ran high, and the while woman exasperated beyond forbearance, left the window for a moment, ivith a showrr of mulatto wralh ringing in her cars, and return ed wiih a pan full of scalding water, the whole of which she threw upon the yellow woman! Luckily the day was pretty cold, and iho wa ter must havn cooled eoniderab!y before il reached its destination- The yellow woman shook her dripping tresses, and teSreated to her cellar precipitately.
