This first Sabbath School Convention of our
Presbyterian friends in the bounds of the

BY DENNIS O'RAFFERTY,
A lop-eared, grasp dutchman,
Forniust meson did live ;
Ile looked like mouldy sour-kraut,
Strained through a corn-male sieve.
Fie shmelt of sour lager,
And he ahmoked a crooked pipe;
Me fiat did ache, b.gorra,
Jist to give his ahnout a wipe.
So I ehtood before me shanty,
Jist to give him sick a look,
That would make the dutchman trimble,
Like a salmon on a hook.
And if he didn't trimble,
Thin meself was jilt tho boy,
That would belt him on the noggin,
Till his beauty I'd destroy.
Thin soon his little cabin
Opened wide its dirty dare ;
And the dutchman shtood before me
Like a blither agny cure.
But whin I looked sharp daggers
Shuns he quite forgot to shearo:
But on me lovely futures
Liko a scrachin owl did At:ire.
Thin I placed me velvet mawley
Jist above his gimlet eye:
And he tuck a sate, quite gintly,
In a puddle that was nigh.
So I thought the fun was over,
And me arms bad gained the day
And I turned to walk, so bJwldly,
From the battle-ground away.
Whin across me auburn tresses
That same dutchman laid a shtick,
And me ruby lips, quite rudely,
Kissed the outsidorow of brick.
Thin I shouted bloody murther !
And they tuck the baste away;
But I've niver fought a dutchman
Since that damp, unhealthy day.

third purchase of Furs have come and gone,
and now our fourth and last heavy purchase
for the season has just arrived and is on ex
hibition at our store. We have Furs of every
description and quality, at prices lower than
ever dreamed of by the most penurious. Now
is your best and last chance to secure a de
sirable Christmas gift. HENRY & CO.
A HUNTINGDON .ATEALIR.—The Stan
dard contains a Martinsburg, Blair county,
correspondence, which relates the following
huge story at the expense of a Huntingdon
"dad."
"There is a dashing and fashionable young
man in this place, who is rather prepossessing
in his appearance, of gentlemanly bearing, po
lite, and devoted to the fair sex. About a
year ago it was his good fortune, or perhaps
misfortune, to make the acquaiatanee of
"plump and bouncing belle" of Huntingdon
county. He described her to a friend as being
beautiful as the bowies, symmetrical in form,
fascinating in her manners, graceful and
charming in every respect. Before the lustre
of her cheeks gold will pale in its richness,
before her lips diamonds grow dim, and in the
sparkle of her eye rubies lose their flashing
fires. In a word, she is truly a queen. At
this phase of the affair he found it utterly im
possible to maintain love's equilibrium and
keep it on terra firma, and most profusely did
he lavish it upon this fair damsel. During
the last stage the visits of this devoted Felix
became quite frequent, but, for reasons not
known to as, called forth a strong resistance
from the ever-watchful father of this fair
Helen. Ile remonstrated with his lovely
daughter as only a father can, but evidently
to no purpose, for she placed at defiance his
threats, and yielded not to his entreaties, but
persisted in receiving the attentions of Felix,
her ideal man. The father, being of a resolute
character and quick temperament, sought out
and applied many inventions to destroy the
relationship that existed between them ; but
his every effort proved abortive and unavail
ing, and the "daringyoung man" always came
off the victor. About six weeks since, this
incorrigible boy, as her papa called him, paid
his accustomed visit to the "fairy queen," du
ring which a little unpleasantness sprang up
between them, which was instrumental in the
exchange of sharp, sarcastic words. A storm
of these and then all was quiet, each, no
doubt, given to his and her own meditations.
At this period the town clock announced the
approach of the "wee sma' hours," and,
neither desiring to part just then, both re
mained in their quiet and pensive mood. A
few minutes later and they were in the sweet
embrace of Morpheus, Felix being soon trans
ported into the land of dreams. While there
he imagined that be and his fair Helen were
in a delightful paradise, in the midst of fairies,
and enjoying a pleasant time in the evening of
a mild summer's day. His noble animal, the
horse which he imagined himself to Le dri
ving, being of a spirited disposition, suddenly
became frightened at some object and dashed
away at a fearful rate, and at the same time
jerking the ribbons from the hand of Felix,
who instantly made one grand leap, in a su
perhuman effort to regain the lines. But, oh
horror! he succeeded in getting hold of—not
the lines—but the flowing curls of his "sweet
Fleurette," who screamed vociferously, while
the hero of the drive pulled harder to check
the affrighted horse. The unearthly- and vo
ciferous yells of the young lady soon brought
the old man to the scene of action, and taking
one comprehensive view of the situation, he
"reached for" the sleeeping Felix, and, with a
well direected blow on the back of the head
and an application of a boot to that place
where it was wont to go on such occasions,
Felix found himself hors de combat, struggling
in the mud of ye ancient town of Huntingdon.
At this juncture he only realized his true sit
uation, and gathering himself up made a bee
line far the hotel, there to ponder over that
well-known and long-established adage : "The
course of true love never did p?!!► smooth."
He has fully recovered now, and says that life
is composed of "ups and downs and kicks and
frowns," and that hereafter when he visits
Huntingdon in the pole of a lover, he will carry
with Lim a little 'Ed. Stokes.'"
Go to Henry & Co.'s. and ask one of their
accommodating clerks to show yen one of their
last arrivals of "Grange" or "Tourists" hats
(the latest novelty in hats) and you will then
and there learn to an oacular demonstration
that no line of goods has been more affected
by the .finaneial troubles, than that of hats.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.—Many citizens
in town and country when driving through
our streets seem to ignore the rights of pedes
trians, and drive as though every one - must
give away to them and look out for themselves.
Pedestrians, by law, possess the right of way
in crossing a street, and no driver has a right
shout "look out there," or give any such or
ders. It is the driyor's duty to "look out,"
and to respect the right of foot passengers,
and In neglecting this necessary precaution
he renders himself amenable to the law and
liable for damages.—Exchange.

LITERARY NOTICES.—St. Nicholas for
January.—This is the holiday number of
Scribner's new magazine for young people,
and it comes loaded, not only with its own
store of good things for the Christmas time,
but with the best of what had been promised
to the readers of Our Young Folks—for the
last-named magazine has been bought by
Scribner k Co., and is now merged in St.
Nicholas. The magazine shows a great in
crease in size, while the quality of its
contents is superior to that of the earlier
numbers, and that is Raying a great deal. It
is unusually rich in stories. There is a New
York Christmas story, which is most admira
bly told. Then there is a German Christmas
story, by Mary Lockwood, and a fairy Christ
mas story. Besides these and numerous other
stories, there are no less than three serials
now running in St. Nicholas. Then there is
the first installment of a serial for girls,
"Nimpo's Troubles," by Olive Thorne, so well
known as a writer for young folks. The
opening chapters indicate that this will be
one of her very best stories. There are also
poems by William Cullen Bryant, Lucy Larcom
and Mary Mapes Dodge. The engravings, of
which there is a generous display—about forty
in all—are of that high order which has
already made St. Nicholas noted as a maga
zine of art.
Scribner's, for January.—The January num
ber of Scribner's Monthly has among its con
tributors Bret Harte, Gail Hamilton,' Charles
Dudley Warner, John G. Saxe, Col. T. W.
Higginson, George MacDonald, James Anthony
Froude, John Hay, R. H. Stoddard, H,
Frank It. Stockton, Adeline Trafton, Edward
King and Albert Rhodes. Bret Harte and
Gail Hamilton contribute stories ; Harte's
being entitled "A Monte Flat Pastoral; How
Old Man Plunkett Went Home." George
MacDonald contributes a remarkable poem
suggested by a picture, by Thomas Moran,
entitled "The Haunted House." There are
poems, also, by Stoddard, Hay, Saxe, J. C. R.
Dorr, H. H., and a nameless author who
rhymes of "The Olden Time." Edward King,
the writer, and Champney, the artist, give us
(in the Great South series,) Glimpses of Texas,
and especially of San Antonio. Froude's
study of the "Annals of an English Abbey" is
completed. Warner prints his "Thoughts
Suggested by Mr. Froude'e4; Progress." Big
ginson's sketch of Warner is illustrated by a
portrait. In Topics of the Time Dr. Holland
discusses Church Union, "The American Res
taurant," and "Literature for Boys." In The
Old Cabinet is something about New Years,
Christmas, and The Black-Heart Cherry-Tree.
In Home and Society may be found "A Word
for the Poor." The scientific, critical and
humorous departments are as full as usual.
Hearth and Some.—This popular weekly
journal has just commenced the publication of
a charming new story, entitled "John Andress,"
by Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis. Without
doubt, Mrs. Davis is one of the very best story
writers in America, and, having given more
than usual care and labor to the preparation
of "John Andross," the reading public may
expect it one of her best works.
We take pleasure in commending Hearth
and Home as one of the, ablest, purest, and
most carefully edited of the literary home
weeklies. Its stories are not of tLe trashy,
sensational character, yet are of absorbing
interest; and will be read with pleasure and
profit by every member of the family. Its ed
itorials are always timely, able, independent,
The best American and foreign writers con
tribute to its columns ; and, take it all in all,
it is as near a perfect Home Paper as is pub
lished in this or any other country. ORANGE

WAR TO THE KNIFE AND THE KNIFE . TO THE
Iln.r.—The capture of the Virginius created
no more commotion in town and country than
did the last arrival of goods at the Mammoth
Store. Prom the tremendous crowds that
filled cur rooms every day of last week, and
from the heavy loads of goods carried and
hauled away during the week some might sup
pose that our stock is well nigh exhausted.
To such we would say that we are careful to
fill the places of all goods that go out, by fresh
and daily arrivals from the east. We will keep
our stock complete and ' full just as long as
the price of all kinds of goods remain as low
as they now are. So that no one may want for
any thing without having the opportunity of
having their wants supplied. Come on, come
on, and bring your friends along. HEN RY & Co.

FROM MAPLETON.
MR. EDITOR.—It occurs to me that our town,
Mapleton, is receiving an unusual amounLof pub
lic notice, and mush censure through some of the
publiejournals of the county, as well as other
sources, and while we unwillingly feel that we
must acknowledge that a few of our inhabitants,
male and female, are persons of intemperate and
immoral habits, we are not certain that the cir
culation of the same will have any tendency to
improve them, but II that is one, and the only
remedy, I would say to our contributors of the
press, continue to spread the news far and wide. .
But wills reference to aft artiole in the Globe of
this week, purporting to be - a copy of a letter, and
published by request of some one is our town, I
cannot come to any other conclusion than that it
is entirely unjust and even foolish on the part of
the person exposing such a document. It is wrong,
because it contains nothing that would make it a
matter of public interest. This letter is not, by
any mean?, a simple one; it does not contain any
nonsense, nor dace it convey any idea but com
mon friendship between the writer and the re
ceiver, and I see nothing accomplished in pub
lishing it except to expose bad spelling, and there
by wound the feelings of the writer who has been
working, perhaps, for an honest living, and one who
may have had to work all her life time, and there
by lost the opportunity of requiring a better ed
ucation, viewing it In this light, our conclusion is
that the person who forwarded the letter departed
far from the golden rule, and we also hare our
opinion of an Editor who would receive and pub
lish the sante. FAIR PLAY.
REPEAL OF THE PATENT LAW.
Mit. EDITOR.-A 8 the Legislature will PO. inert,
I would a.sk you, and the press throughout the
State, to urge upon that body the importance of
the repeal of a law that is, these hard thnes,bearing
very onerous on the poor class of farmers, to wit :
The present Land Patent Law. There are judg
ments being entered pll over the State against
lands under the present law, that if the lands were
forced to sale, would not pay the lien. Let us have
the old law re-enacted and give the poor man a
chance once more to close out and perfect his
title. A Poon FARMER.
[We think it would be well for the Legislature
to give this matter its attention. Thousands of
liens have been entered and if the State insists
upon protnpt paypient great clistre” pjujt follow :

EDITO4 JOUPNAL :—Under the head of "Court
Proceedings," in the Globe of the 251 h, ult., a
friend bas ealbad my attention to "Com. vs. Dr.
J. F. Thompson, for selling liquor without license,"
in which the editor has drawn largely upon his im
agination, when he undertakes to say that the
whole thing was a vindictive political prosecution.
Eidtors, when ministers of the Gospel, ought surely
to be careful of falsifying, particularly against men
who are doing what they can to vindicate the law,
and to suppress the crying evil of intemperance in
this community. The informers in the case of Dr.
Thompson are men who, we believe, would not con
descend to do him a wrong in this matter, but he,
with others, were reported because it was too no
torious that he was engaged in distributing this
vile stuff, and could the case have been gotten be
fore the Court, I believe that there would have
been revelations there made that would have saved
his editorial Reverence the trouble of drawing co
largely on a tainted imagination. Tho meshes of
the Grand Jury room are not always sufficieatly
small to catch the small fry that suck around the
end of the worm or the curtained windows of the
physician's shop.
TYRONE SCHOOLS.
EDITO R.—l had the pleasure of visiting the

the schools of Tyrone. The rooms are neat and
Olean. The dieiplino of the schools is good; and
the thoroughness of the recitations proves that
Prof. A. is doing a good work. Its is aided by a
corps of efficient teachers who seem to co-opperate
with him for the advancement and good of the
schools. Wewish him much success in his new
fold of labor. S.
