we must pay our debts, and, hence, wc

METEORS.— This seems to bean in
exhaustible subject. Even the poets
have waked up to its importance, as
witness the following effusion poured
out for our columns:
November winds were blowing cold.
When, in a country town, 'twas told
[f weep!'' would >t:iy up all night
They would be sure to see a light—
Meteors!
That such ft light ne'er fell on man,
Before or since the world began ;
I'jjg shooting star.- (, t Thirl\-three
Would sink int.. oblivion's sea.
Meteors!
Then no one knew that they would erne,
\rid so the sight was missed by some ;
But all in 'sixty-six should see
What sort of things these star- might be.
Meteors!
Y r men are -r> much wiser now—
Thcv know the where, the when, and how.
And all that people had to do.
Was keep awake and calmly view-
Meteors !
From Mud town up to Gravel Hill.
Awake they kept, and hourly still
pid folks explore the quiet sky.
Easter to give the signal rv—
Meteors
But vainly sought f-r - "toe coimn-.tion
Among the isles of that blue ocean ;
For -'radiant jaunts' about the Lion,
Or from the girdle of Or. >n.
Meteors!
To hurry matters up in town —
Perhaps to hurry meteors down—
The village bells were loudly run g,
Then every blind was open tiling !
Meteors I
From east to we f. from north to -oath.
Wtrh straining eye and open mouth.
The people turned themselves about,
A.- from the steeples rose the shout —
Meteors
The stars, instead of falling down,
tat winking at the folks in town.
Thinking, from all that they had seen.
That some of them were rather green.
Meteors!
When still ab ve ttiev kept th !rpl..ccs.
The peoj.le turned with angry faces,
And hr.iing it was pretty coi l.
They stamin'd their ! .-r-. exclaiming— Sold '
Meteors'
In sleep the morning hours were spent,
And when the sun. as usual, sent
Above the hills his rosy beams.
The people muttered in their dreams,
Meteors '
NOT APPRECIATED. —It is a very
common thing for -omcpcrsoiisb. grum
ble at the price they pay for their local
ptiperaml their advertising—invariably
ending with the remark, "that is given
in charity, for they never receive any
benefit therefrom." An exchange com
menting upoiitl. 'sulijc t, truthfully re
marks :
"New-papers by enhancing the value
of property in tlieir neighborhood and
giving the localities in which they are
publish" l a reputation abroad, benefit
all Mich grumblers, particularly if they
are merchants or r- il estate owners,
tarice the amount yearlyof the meagre
>uni they [ay for their support. Besides,
every public spirited citizen has a lauda
ble pride in having a paper of which he
is not asliained. A good-looking, thriv
ing sheet helps to -a-ll property, gives
character to the locality, and in all re
spects is desirable as a public conve
nience-. If fr uu any cause the matter
in the editorial or local columnsshould
not lie quite up to your.standard, do not
cat it aside and pronounce it of no ac
count until you .re satisfied that there
has not b. n mor" labor bestowed upon
i. than is paid for. And it must not be
supported in a spirit-of charity either,
but b.v:!"-o you feel it a necessity to
support, i'i. loi-a] f.ress is the 'power
that moves the people.' "

A HINT TO LADIES.— An eastern eo-
temporary, who has evidently been
shoved into the mud, and also been in
danger of having his eye put out by the
tip of an umbrella arm, takes revenge
in the following language:—"Ladies,
when two of you are walking side by
side, taking up every inch of the cross
, walk, and theday is rainy and the mud
. deep, doiPt think of such a thing as for
. one of you to step behind the other, so
. as to allow one of the "lords of crea
tion" (what a misnomer) to pass by
you dry shod, but always do as you did
f —crowd him off into the mud, and
keep your umbrellas bolt upright, too;
it's no difference to you if he has to
hold his at arm's length away from
him to avoid a collison with yours;
• and then it looks so lady-like and be
coming for you to assert your superior
ity upon every such occasion."
LOOK OUT FOR TIIKM.—We learn,
says the (ireensburg Art/us, that well
dressed, smooth-tongued scamps are
traveling over the country, having with
them a model hay and manure loader
with which they are gulling farmers
outrageously. Their mode of opera
tion is to visit the principal farmers,
exhibit their model, sell a right to use
it, and give an order tin a manufactu
j ring establishment, where they pretend
to have a contract for the manufacture
j of the implement, receiving in exchange
the fanner's note, which they immodi
| ately convert into money, at a discount
and then elearout. It is probable that
some of the patent-right venders will
visit this county, and farmers should
exercise due vigilance to detect them.
EPISCOPAL, CHURCH AND LOTS, —
The foundation walls of the Episcopal
Church here have just been put up, and
preparations will be made during the
winter for putting up the sujierstrue
jin the spring. The remain-of the dead !
formerly buried in the old church lots,
on I\?nn street, have been removed to
the cemetery,.and a monument is in
tended to lie placed over llieni. The
lots are now in the market for sale, and
can lie purchased for a moderate price,
rile Will has been made secure by a
recent act of the Legislature.
A MISSING MAN FOUND.—The
[ Gneensburg Argus -ays the skeleton
I of a man named John Orlim, was
found in a coal mine in Sewickley town
ship, Westmoreland county, a short
time since. lie suddenly disappeared
some two years since, and his friends
never heard anything of him until the
finding of the skeleton, which was
identified by discoveringa handkerchief
on which hi-name was written, and al
so bv parts of his clothing. The mys
tery as to the manner of his death has
uot been solved.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.
A NEW BOOK BY MRS. EMMA D. E.
X. SOUTH WORTH.— T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia, have in press
and will publish on Saturday, Decem
ber loth, a new book by Mrs. Emma 1).
E. N. Southworth, entitled "The Bride
ot Llewellyn," which will, beyond all
doubt prove to be the most popular
1 and successful work that has ever been
written by her, for she is beyond all
question the most powerful female
writer in America, if not in the world.
No one ever read a chapter of one of her
works, without wishing to read the
whole book, and none ever read one of
her books without admiring the rare
genius of its author, and wishing that
she might soon write another. Her
scenes are life-pictures, her incidents
are lounded on facts, and her senti
ments are characterized by a single pur
ity both of conception and expression.
She lias the rare faculty of saying what
she means, and of saying it in such a
manner that her meaning cannot he
misinterpreted. In short she possesses
in an eminent degriv those qualifica
tions which are the peculiar preroga
tives of a good writer; and while she
delights the reader's imagination with
her descriptive beauty, sheappiieshome
truths to his understanding with the
force of rational convict ion. The "Bride
of Llewellyn" will be welcomed by all
such readers especially; and those who
have never read the work- of this gift
ed woman should not fail to buy and
read this new novel by this gifted
American authoress.

ANN S. STEPHENS' NEW BOOK !
THE SOLDIER'S ORPHANS. By Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens, author of "Fashion A Famine,' - The
Gold Brick," "The Old Homestead," "Silent
Struggles." "MaryDerwent," "Rejected Wife,"
"The Heiress," "The Wife's Secret," etc.
This new book, by Mrs Ann S. Stephens, has
been pronounced by all to he by far the best aud
most interesting work ever written by her. Itap.
reared in monthly instalments in "Peterson's
Magazine" during the last year, having been com
pleted in the December number, where it proved
to be the most popular, powerful, and successful
novel that has ever appeared in that Magazine,
| aud it is now published complete and unabridged,
I in one large duodecimo volume, uniform with the
"Gold I.rick," Fashion and Famine.'' and other
works of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, published by us.
It will no doubt prove to be tbc most popular work
that has ever before been written by this talented
American authoress.
Mrs Stephens has justly become a favorite with
all American readers of prose fiction, and the an
nouncement of a new work from her graceful pen
is cheerful uewS to thousands of readers. And
there is a rare treat in store for thetn, for in "The
Soldier's Orphans." Mrs. Stephens has, if any
thing, eclipsed all her former efforts. There is less
redundancy of scene and action, but there is far
more anir-tic excellence, and an elaboration of
causes and effects, attainable only by practised
writers. The action of this new novel transpires
in Philadelphia, and beyond the limits of the city,
the authoress does not permit herself to stray. Tho
time selected by Mrs. Stephens is recent, the late
war,and she pictures with vivid distinctness the do
mestic suffering and sacrifices entailed by, and
made for, the gra-d and heroic struggle for na
tional unity. The plot is one of absorbing interest,
the characters are graphic transcripts from real
life, strongly individualized, and the contrasts
formed by their individual peculiarities, mental
and physical, lend a rare charm to this last and most
finished of Mrs. Stephens' books."
"The Soldier's Orphans" is published complete
in one large duodecimo volume. Price $1.60 in
paper; or $2.00 in cloth.
