Self-Acting Bent-Lever
UMW SCALEL
THIS IN claims superiority over every
other, in the tbilowing respects : In the invaria
ble scientific principle involved, and upon which it
acts; in its undeviating accuracy;; in its lightness
and strength; in its wonderful capacity, convenience
of form, and appliCability to every purpose for which
&ales of any kind are required; iu its perfect shn
pNcity,in the absence of .ny complication liable to
variation, or to gt.t out of order; and, finally ' in the
important fact, that this scale can be afforded at
.a
trout one-thirhbe coat of any other Platform Scale,
of like capacity and accuracy in use. And passes
sing. in an oulnent degree, all these merits,. this
Invention is conceded to be one of the most useful
and valuable ever brought before the public. And
coming, as it does, within the reach of all, it cannot
but find uu unprecedented sale and undivided market
among farmers, housekeepers, mechanics, merchants,
&e. everywhere, to the exclusion of every other
weighing apparatus. - -
The inveotion - oC the Scales and the many invalua
ble improvements .which we have - ninth; within the
past fen- months, have brought them to such a de:
gree of accuracy; that they may be safely relied up
on in every transaction of weight.

OPINIONS OF .TILE PRESS
IMPORTANT INVENTION.---FOT some five years past,
Mr. D. M. Smyth, of Pennsylvania, (now of this State)
an ingenious and scientific mechanic, has concentrat
ed his mind and means upon an invemiOn at length
perfectly successful, and for which letters patent have
!list been issued by the Government of the United
States.. This invention is known us "Smyth's Self-
Acting' Bent• Lever Platform Scale," and as this is
the first public notice of this useful and valuable im
provemcnt, we shall take the liberty of expressing
ourselves freely upon its merits. The, platform of the
scaleds about 12 by 18 inches, and the whole scale
I „is about Sr inches high and weighs entire only 'abolt
ar
poundS, while it his the extraordinarveapacity o
weighing any object from one entice td.fonr hundred
pounds. - Its form is compact and contenient, and is
applicable to every purpose for which scales of any
kind are required. Under the platform and attached
to the leverage is suspended a weighted ann or pen.
dulum. To this pendulum it attached an indicator,
which, together with the pendulum, the in t iopit ear
object is placed upon the platform moves froM its
centre ofgrality-W tha point indicating the exact
_weight The Kientific priinciplc upon abich it acts
admits of no inaccuracy or change, and a'given pres
sure or weight upon the platform must always early
the weighted arm and indicator to the same point.—
The principle beyond doubt is the correct one, and
thafit has been properly applied in this instance, the
lucky inventor has left no room for doubt. lie seems
to 'have attained perfection itself—at least sio - far as
Platform Scales are concerned, and to have combined
in a remarkable degree an invariable scientific prin
ciple, " known -of all men," with compactness, Con
venience, strength of form, durability mid accuracy.
But the great and. important feature in this Scale is
the fact that beyond ail these merits it possesses the
additional one of being cheap, and within4e reach
of every family.-4/Lany Eve. Jour., Jan.'"..:!S, 1856.
We hare examined this new Platform Scale 'and
concur in all that - 14 said by the Journal. The prin
ciple is at once simple and beautiful, and ensures
perfect accuracy, While the price will he three times
leas thanof the scales now used.--1/ban Erprem.
.S rrni c Pause PLAITOII3.ISCAT.r.--.We have ex
antinegl this new invention. Nothing can be simpler
or more completely de% eloped. than the principle up=
on which its acts. The platform which snstams the'
weight lifts 'pendulum, suspended and loaded at the
end, through an arc of a'cirele ; hnd the indicator
points hut, upon the graduated circumference, the
exact weight: In other platform E. calc:•- the measure
of avoirdupois has to he ascertained by . moving a
loose %weight on a beam, as on 'a ste . elvard,.till it hits
the precise point. Smyth'sinventionis n self-work
ing one, and indicates at once, and to the minutest
fraction, the figure. By attaching th:- weight on the
end of the pendulum, the scale Lectuncs multiplied
bv.fives or tens: by releasing the v:;A/g.ht it gives
ounces instead of pounds. For household purposes,
it I; as cheap, and far better than steely:mls ; and is
finding the tray to all well regulated, kitchens where
the receipt book, with its preset iptions of weights and
proportions, is used.—Atlas and 4r.q.u.g.
A Nmv Inca—lf anybody doubts that this is an in
ventive age, they should call and examine Smyth's
Self-Acting Bala-Lever Platform Sales. For simplic
ity of design, awl economy of spaee, they take prece
•denec of any scales that hare yet been invented,—
Tlfere is arie pi:culiarity about this scale ; it posses
ses very little machinery, and can never make-i mis
take so• long as the laws of gravitation cobtinue.
Smyth'S scale has another advantage—its small cost.
—KnithrtAycktr.
SMYTH'S PATENT PLATFOrM Scat.s..--This new and
valuable invention was on exhibitkin at our State
Fair just closed.* l Nothing in its depfilment received
more attention or was more generally admired or ap
proved. This scale, 'possessing the extranrdinary
merits conceded to it at the East; cannot but be ex
ceedingly valuable; and must, we think, come into
general use. -
The Albany Evening Journal publishes the above,
and adds: This scale (Smyth s) was also exhibited at
the State Fair at Watertown, and not only received
every attention given it in Ohio, but carried off the
first and highest, premium awarded—a diploma and
silver medal—Car/and (Ohio) Journal.
" SMYTH'S SELF-ACTING MIXT-LETT& PLATFORM
f•lcatz."—The fundamental principle of every impor
tant invention has been very simple. In its simplici
ty is the elements of Its worth, its usefulness and a
daptability. Inventions of complicated Movement
and visionary theories have nev&performed the ob
ject sought to be obtained, for with adaptability, ac
'curacy and durability must be combined cheapness.
All of these desideratuns are involved in the inven
tion recently patented and known'as "Stnyth's Self-
Acting Bent-Lever Platform .Files." The scale in
question, from its construction:on the principle of
gravitation, is never liable tohe oat of order. It must
perforni its work thothughly, because the laws ofna
ture govern it.. In size the scale is a pigmy, but for
capacity it is Wonderful, weighing any of from
,one ounce up todour hundred pounds. It can be reg
nladed by any one who looks at it but for a moment.
As their cost is but a trifle, they Will speedily be as
indispensably necessary in the Imuseboldcalendaras
any oilier useful article of daily use.,—Ere.Transcript..
Inroararr wan VALEAJILE Isvmlos.—Among
others, we have been favored with an examination
of the new and valuable invention (recently patent
ed,) known ria Esnyth's :pelf Acting Renf-Uver Plat
term Smile." Mr. D. M. Stnytkothe ingenious in
ventor, has spent some fire years in the perfection
of his' work, and that be has attained prrfeetirre
there scents but little doubt._ This scale is construct
ed upon a scientific principle which knows no varia
tion or change, and hence ,its accuracy is 'beyond
question. Its capacity and strength is unprecedent
ed, while its form and the principle involved make It
convenient and applicable to all purposes requiring
scales of any description. It i 9 froe- frsita , any com
plication liable 'to variation or to g et' out of ,order.
The great and important feature, however, 'of the
scales made under this invention, is the fact that they
can be afforded at about emelosertk the cost of any
other platform scale of like capacity and accuracy in
. the world. The scale we have seen (r sort of pocket
edition as compared with other platform scales.)
has the wonderful capacity of weighing any .obnt,
'from one ounce up to four humired pounds. Pos
sessing the 'extraordinary merits and advantages con
ceded to this invention, it cannot but be exceedingly
valuable, and the'scales made dnder it, brought as
they will be, within the reach of every fautily,_must
meet with an unprecedented sale, and come into
mediate grid general use, as irell to the benefit of the
public, as to-those so fortunate as to secure the ex
clusive tight of sttanarmitttring and vending them.—

, ' From the remarks of Rev. Dr: Allen;
.of
Lane Seminary, in the N.. S. Presbyterian
General Assembly at Clevelod, we extract
the following
.
- "One word concerning tk slave's Own feel

I wilt telljou- another r faet. - Not -far from
the same time a vessel was wrecked or the
shore of one of the Southern States. Their,.
habitants gathered on the bee*, to ,witness
the wretch, :trait was ,ascertained that . the
Vessel had on -board some. of their own ?Ile
a/es and friends: They immediately drew
-upon the "resources of -the neighborhood to
collect boats: But who Would risk his life
to row through the breakers to that imperil
ed. ship 7 They. put ' . their rn into the
boats, and sent, them off;- but the breakers
washed-over theni ' • their courage failed them,

and they returned: _Meanwhile the wreck
was going to pieces. At length one man
mounted a stump, callis'td the nearoes togeth
er, and cried Liberty! They asked what it
meant, and what was coming. "Every_men,"
said he, " that will go to that'vessa and at--
tempt to-bring otr these passengers shall have
his liberty!" It was no sooner said than they
leaped again
,into the ,boats. brae 4
themselves to their_ oars, and with evory
nerve strained they stood out again into • the'
breakers. They pressed on through. the
angry waves,_ now rising over one, and now
plunging halfinto

of the- sea, and drilven with the gale. But on
and on they wetitl, with successful
st r uggle through ,the dangerous -breakers, me .

periled passengers," and brought them all

have desired liberty so m uch OA Old I I Apply
ieg the Golden Rule' with,. what .my friend
Perkins calls "Dr: . Ross'S amendment;" why
' ought they
.to have desired liberty so much
as -to have been willing to.peril their lives in
a storm for its sake I leave my Southern
friends to-answer the question."
Ho* RAIV IS FORICED.—To understand,
the philosophy of this phenomenon, essential
to . the very existence of plants and animal!,
a few facts derived from observation ait'd a
long traiti•of experiments must be remem
bered. Were the atthosphere everywhere,
at Alltißics, at a uniform temperature, we
should- never have rain, • hail, or snow— .
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
froni the sea and the • earth's surface . would
de,vend in an ill] percev ible. vapor, or cease
to be absorbed by' the air when ; it was once
fully . saturated. '1 he absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently its capability
to retain humidity,is propel tiOnably greater
in warm than, in cold air. The air near the
'surface - of the earth is. warmer than .it is in
the region of the clouds. . .The higher we as
cend from the earth the.colder ,we find the
atrne.-.iphere." '• Hence the perpetUal - snow on
Very high mountains ii hottest climates.—
Now, When fliom .continued evaporation the
air is highly saturated with vapor—though it
be invisible---if its teniperature-is suddenly
reduced. by cold currents descending front
above, or rushing front a higher. to - a lower
Aittitude, its capacity - to retain moisture is
diminished, .clouds are formed, and the re
sult is. rain. Air condenses ascools;and;
like
_a sponge filled with water.and compr4s
ekpours out the water its diraitiislied:capio.
ity. cannot hold. Bow singular, yet how
simple, is such an arrangement for watering
the earth. •

,perusal:of Dr. fiane's work, as his. eye was
at tracted.by the pliature of sa rock thus indi-.
anted. The old Lady had listened •to sonie
passages of the book, which had readto
her, with tearful interest. "It must be," :
said she, after a few moments reflection,
"where they scratched 'ett].;' in climbing over
the rocks." "Scratched what?" cried -Ike,
interrupting her. "Their knees," replied\
she. "Who said knees r responded le,
saucily; "I said gneiss—g-n-e.i-s-s--what's
that? , " I guess' it means knees," said she
—" the printer has spelt it wrong, It is pen
'what strange arrows they make in printing.
Thei were in their bare skins, you know, and.
got their knees scratched. How cold they
must have been to be sure !",.. Ike turned. to.
the picture of Accommod4, and asked her it
he was in his bare skin—emphasiting the
word "barer'—and asked ber„too,.if she bad
lived so long in the world, and didn't - knot
the difference between bare skin and bear

Ike seemed penitent, and she gave him a halt
penny to save, till he got cm:l6lp to put into
the penny savings bank. - •
