Though life's a dark and iliorny pa:h, Its goal the silent lonib, II yet some spots of sunshine hath, That smiles amid the gloom; The friend who weal and woe partakes, Unchanged whaleer his lot, Who kindly soothes the heart that aches, Is sure a sunny spoL The wife who half our burden bears, And utters net a moan; AVhi.se ready hand wipes off our tears, Unheeded all Iter own; "Who treasures every kindly word, Each harsher one forgot. And carols brightly as a bird She's too, a sunny spot. The child who lifts at morn and eve, In prayer its tiny voice; Who grieves whene'er its parent grieves, And j iys when they rejoice, In whose bright eyes young genius glows, Whose heart without a blot, , Is freh and pure as summer's rose, That child's a sunny spot. There's yet upon life's weary road One spot of brighter glow ! "Where sorrow half forgets its load And tears no longer flaw; Friendship tmy wither, love decline. Our child his honor blot; But still umlimiii'd that epoi will shine Religion lights that spot. Here is one of the inimitable doff sto rics of the Nashua Telegraph ; A Smart Doer. There is enough of the dog mixed up in the following story to entitle it to the name of a dog story." A nian down Kast had been exceedingly annoyed by wolves, which destroyed his sheep. In the course of time a dog-fancier offered to sell him a dog. A very notable dog he was uu. . j i!c caiiiiuuu in ms menus was a very long one; there was not a dog virtue in the whole catalogue for which he was not distinguished; but if there was any one thing in which he particularly excelled it was his prowess as a wolf-hunter. This was touching our friend on the right spot; the bargain was closed, and he only awaited ah opportunity to test his merits. At length there cerae a light snow, just the kind a of snow for wolf hunting, and he took his dog and gun, and sallied out. He soon crossed the track of a varmint; the dog took the scent, and bounded off in pursuit. On followed our friend, up hill and down dale, ''through brush and through brier," for two mortal hours, when he came across a Yankee of the live species chopping wood, and the following satisfactory dialogue look place: "Did you see a wolf and a dog pass by ere '. "Well, I reckon I did." "How long ago V Well, I guess about half an hour." "How was it with 'em ?" "Well, just about nip and tuck; but the dog had the advantage, for he was a lee- TL AHEAD." A Jfotk'f Farm. The fallowing- is from the report of the . Cumberland county Agricultural Socie ty's Committee on Farms: "It is wi;h feelings of great pleasure that we cordially unite in the expression of the opinion that the farm of Mr. Uo (j?rt Dryson, and the conJition f it its cultivation, and the principles of it af ford a most gratifying example of the rich product which is made by energy, . industry and skill: The farm consists of two hundred and fifty-seven seres of land, most of which is cleared, leaving only trees enough for shade. As you approach the farm you arc at once struck uith the cleanliness of field and fence row, which indicates that nothing grows there bat what is planted. A large stone Mansion exhibits the comforts of a pro fitable farm, and a no less capacious Barn shows that there must be a place for grain, for there is much here to be stored away. A particular description of this barn may be useful to the Society; it is in size nine-ty-eifht feel six inches, by fifty-four feet, rhich includes a seven feet over shot, and thirty-four feet high to the square. It is built in the side of a bank, and has two 6ets of barn floors, one above, the 'tther -the first baring an elevation of sbout eight feet, and the second is used as a thrashing floor, from tvhicli the gn ia it is thrashed p;ssea dewn - into the first floor where it is cleansed; the sta; bles are below the whole. There is an advantage gained by this arrangement in this, that you can get out any quanti ty of grain wiihoofbeing hindered by the accumulation of it upon the floor; and there can be no better illustration of this i,i.nniiff iVion kv the fact that Mr. Rrv- I ut ainugv iiia'i J ---- - ' son's whole . crop was thrashed, cleaned, : and ready for market on the 25th of July uf this 3 ear. With the peculiar capaci ty and arrangement of his barn, this was effected without any waste of straw, or throwing more into the barn yard than would be readily converted into manure; it was alt stowed away in his rapacious barn ready to be used during the succee ding winter, as occasion will require; the quantity of wheat was nineteen hun dred and ninety-five bushels, which grew upon eighty acres of land equal to twenty-live bushels to the acre; five acres of barley was also thrashed, end pro duced two hundred and fifty bushels; for ty tons of hay were made, well cured and 6towed away; the produce of ten acres of oats, which your committee sup posed would yield 270 bushels, were al so here; the corn was yet upon the ground, and it was the subject of particu lar examination, and the conclusion to which we came with regard to it was that il would yield about fifty-five bushels to the acre; notwithstandidg this season has not been as favorable as usual we have not seen in any year so large a crop of corn which was as good as this; thirty bushels of clover seed were also made. This is a limestone farm, and the manure used upon it is principally lijie. The stock which we found here, were eighty head of steers, twenty milch cows and young cattle, one hundred hogs, fifteen sheep, six horses and three yoke of oxen. The pighty head of steers ware in a course of preparation for the market, and had been fed since the corn had passed the wasting ear 6tate, by cutting it off and feeding it to them in die bulk the cattle and hogs thus fed together, exhibited this system as a profitable one; scarcely two acres had yet been consumed, and the rattle were almost ready for the market. One would suppose that a farm like this would occupy all the attention of its ow ner, but not so with Mr. Oryson on his farm three Kilns wsre constantly employ ed burning lime, producing about 2000 bushels a week, hauled from the Kilns as fast as it was burned to enrich thel ands of the.surrounding country. Mr Bryson em ploys upon his farm about thirty hands, who are engaged in the tilling of the farm, and the burning and hauling of lime; the labor of these men is directed by Mr. Bryson in person, and with a system and economy of time which seems to be peculiar. At sunrise every man knows from the mouth of his em ployer what is his business (or the day." CUR IX G II A 31 s. We copy from "The Cultivator" the following article, which is particularly interesting at this season. The recipe must be worthy of trial, as we see by the remarks preceding it, that il is a republication at the request of se veral Farmers who have tried and known it to be good. For every one hundred pounds of meal, take five pints of good molasses, (or five pounds of brown sugar,) five ounces saltpetre , and eight pounds rock salt add three gallons of water, and boil the ingredients over a gentle fire, skimming off the froth or scum as it rises Continue the boiling till the salt &c., is dissolved. Have the hams nicely cut and trimmed, packed in casks with the shank end down, as (he pickle will thus strike in better. When the pickle pre pared as above is sufficiently cool, your it over the hams. They may lie in pick le, from two to six weeks, according to the size of the pieces, or the state of the weather more time being required in cold than in warm wsather. Beef or mutton hams, or tongues intended for smoking and drying, may he cured ac cording to this mode, and will be found excellent. There ere other modes of pickling hams whirh are much esteemed in va rious countries. In that excellent and agreeable work entitled Fannin? for La dies," we find the following directions for preparing the celebrated "Hambro Pickle," which is said to be equally ap plicable to beef, pork, tongues &c "To each gallon of water, put one pound and a half of common salt, a quarter of a pound of course brown sugar, and one ounce of saltpetre; boiled, and to be carefully scummed. After standing in a proper vessel until quite cold, the meat may be immersed, and will be fit for use in ten days, and improve for months; bul it roust be carefully kept pressed down by means of a corer, and a clean heavy stone. The pickle must be watched, and when any scum begins to rise, the meat must be taken out and the liquor reboil ed, and scummed and cooled it before; euhe same time half a pound more salt must be added; but no raw salt must be applied at any time. The meat is to be returned wfien the pickle is quite cold, say after ten or twelve hours." Tongues will require a month at least, and are im proved by the addition of an ounee of bay salt to the above. One clove of gar lic, half an ounce of allspice, and as much whole pepper, boiled with the in gredients, improves it much.

The most popular remedies of the present Ia are those which cleanse an J purify the blood and which are known to be innocent in their qualities. Such remedies as Antimony, Mercu ry, Zinc, and the having recourse to bleeding in diseases, are now, it is hoped going out of fashi on, and Vegetable remedies will le Roon the po pular medicine. Then Brand'cllis Vegetable Universal Pills will be used and appreciated. When the Blood i in an unsound condi.'-'on, it is as ready for infection, as land ploughed a id harrowed to receive the ailoted grain. Thos who are wise will therefore commence the purifi cation of their blood without delay, and those who are already attacked with sickness should do the same. Ladies .should use BraiidrcuYa Pills frequents ly. They will ensure them from severe sickness of the stomach, and generally speaking entirely prevent it. The Brandreth Pills are harmless. They increase the powers of life, they do not de press them. Females will find them to secure that state of health which every mother wishes to en joy. In costiveness, so often prevalent at an in teresting period, the Brandreth pills are a safe and effectual remedy. On the first attack of fever, or any disease, im mediately take a large dose of Brandreth's Veg etable Universal Pills, and continue to keep up a powerful effect upon the bowels until the fever or pain has entirely ceased. Six or eight will in most cases be sufficient as a first dose, and one dose of this kind it is not improbable, may pre vent months of 6icknass, perhaps death. Dr. Benjamin Brandreth's Vegetable Univer sal Pills, are indeed a universally approved med icine, which by its peculiar action, cleanses the blood of all impurities, removes every pain and weakness, and finally restores the constitution I perfect health and vigor. The above justly celebrated pills can be pro cured of the following persons w ho are tise regu lar authorized agents for Somerset county, Pa. J. I.. Snyder, Somerset. Kiernan & Bell, ienner Road.

P"5niIE object of this establishment is Jj to supply a want greatly felt by re spectable travellers on our western high ways by residents, without family, ta ken sick and by patients from the sur rounding towns and country who resort to this place for relief Irom surgical and other diseases. Such have often suffered from the want of the various comforts and attentions so necessary and agreeable to the sick, and from careless and un faithful nurses; and been subjected to heavy and unreasonable charges. Invalids will here be provided with constant, faithful and comfortable atten dance, snd at a rale much below the usu al charges. While the care of both physicians will be extended to every variety of disease, it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe cial attention to - ALL SURGICAL DISEASES, PARTICULARLY TO DISEASES OF THE EYE. To these branches of his profession he has given a large share of his alten ion for the last twenty-five years, and he will continue to devote to them the experience acquired by a constant prac tice during that time. The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper-! iment. Its establishment is suggested not only as necessary to supply an evi-' dent want in this city, in the entire ab sence of any special provision for the j sick, but is warranted also by the success of similar institutions at Cincinnati and New Orleans the former under the care i of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Strader the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
