During a feeling of religious interest, in one of our large cities, a lew years ago, a young lady belonging to a gay and fashion able circle was induced to attend the preaching of a clergyman, whose labors had been eminently blessed to the conver sion of sinners. She had previously had seasons of anxiety concerning her soul, hut the attractions of a gay and seducing world were too congenial to her natural disposition, to be formally and finally re linquished. On this occasion, the faithful monitor within seconded, and gave additional lorce to the warning voice of the man ol God, as he held up to her view, her involuntary rejection of God, and the danger ol her full and fatal renunciation of his authority and love. 4 No, this shall never be!' she said within herself. 4 1 will return unto the Lord. I will begin his service now.' • Hut think,' whispered the tempter— -4 you have a beautiful feather in your hat!' ' 4 True,' she replied, 4 and it has been very much admired. My beautiful feather has been my pride, during all the season ; and many a time has it engrossed my thoughts in the house of God, and kept me from heeding the solemn truths of the gos pel. Hut it shall be so no longer. This lime 1 am in earnest.' 4 But if you become a Christian now, you must lay aside your feather,' argued the tempter. This was a new thought, and she tried to believe it an erroneous one; but the more site struggled with the suggestion, the more strength did it ac quire, until it was forced to yield assent to its truth. 4 Yes, I must give it up, if I become a Christian but how can I ? This beautiful feather in which I have so long gloried, and which has made me an object ot ad miration and envy to many. Oh, I can not let it go!' ♦ Wait a little,' artfully whispered the IHBIBMHKB ASJ® ggiwuasaiian* UJT ®ts®iß<&ia smisiHjaiHßa IS ) I6W2SOT®'WW j ssaswuissj ©®tJSJ®'ir a s>^ a enemy of her soul ; 'the season is nearly past; then you must if necessary lay it aside.' 4 That is a good suggestion,' she said, not recognising the malicious instigation ; 4 I will wear it as long as I can, and then attend to my salvation. In this way I can save both my feather and my soul.' Having thus settled the matter, she went home, in a more comfortable state of mind. As she was really anxious to retain her serious impressions, she spent a season in prayer and meditation, before retiring for the night. The more she reflected the more uneasy she became ; but she suc ceeded in recovering a certain degree of calmness, by renewing the resolution she had previously made of becoming a Christian, when her feather could no longer minister to her vain love of display. She then tried to compose herself to sleep, but during the darkness and stillness of that hour, her thoughts assumed more distinct ness, and the voice which was speaking within, became too loud to be stifled. At length it said in earnest and solemn tones, 4 Will vou barter your soul for a feather?' She lay for a moment, pondering the momentous question, and estimating the 4 profit of losing her soul, and gaining' such a bauble. 4 lt shall never he said that I gave my soul in exchange for a feather,' she re sponded : and rising from her bed, she re lighted her candle. She then deliberately and firmly took the feather from her hat, exclaiming, 4 Thou art lighter than vanity. Thou art but as the small dust of the bal ance, when weighed against mv precious undying soul!' The contest was over; all that stood between her soul and salva tion was now taken away ; and with an humble, believing spirit, she went to the feet of the Saviour, and yielded herself to his control forever. Probably the cases are rare, iti which the struggle of the soul between the claims of Mod and die objects ol his idolatry, is so strongly marked as in this instance ; vet it is always true, that there is some darling object, some idol of the afi'octions, which opposes the soul.that is seeking in earnest to work out its own salvation; and if a correct analysis of the case were made, how often would this obstacle be found, no more substantial or weighty titan a feather ! H. A. VERY TRUE. —The taxes are indeed heavy—said Dr. Franklin on one occasion —and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them : —but we have many others. \\ e are taxed as much for our idleness, three times as much for our pride ; and four times as much for our folly, and from these the commission ers cannot deliver us by allowing any abatement. SCOTT AT VERA CRUZ. —During the bombardment of Vera Cruz, Scott, while walking along the trenches one day, ob served several of our troops rising up and looking oter the parapet to watch the ef fect of our shot and shells. The General cried out, 4 Down with you, men !—don't expose yourselves.' 4 But, Genera!,' said one, 4 you expose vourself!' — 4 Oh !'re plied Scott, 4 Generals now-a-days can be made out of anybody, but men can't easi ly be had.' 44 Bur \E CAN'T VOTE." —Great was t lie amazement and dismay among the Jrish laborers when the steam-shovels were first put in operation on a certain section of the Vermont Central Railroad, and one of the sturdiest Hibernians, after gazing at his huge rival for a few moments, thus apostrophised the enemy : 4 Well, faith, ye are a big divil of a baste, and mighty sthrong in the arrams ; may be, now, ye think yerself as good as an Irishman, but (with a look of ineffable contempt) d—m yer sowl, ye can't vote !' ALARMlNG.— Hairdresser — 4 They say, sir, the cholera's in the hair, sir !' Gentleman.— [Very uneasy]— 4 Indeed ! ahem ! Then 1 hope you are very par ticular about the brushes you use.' Hairdresser. — 4 Oh ! 1 see you don't hunderstand me, sir. I don't mean the 'air of the 'ed but the hair of the hatmus phere !' A minister at a carnp-ineeting said, 4 if the lady with the blue hat, red hair, and cross-cyes, don't stop talking, she will be pointed out to the congregation.' The other day one of widow B's. ad mirers was complaining of the tooth-ache. M rs. B's. smart boy immediately spoke up, 4 Well, sir, why don't you do as ma does ? She takes her teeth out and puts 'em back whenever she wants to.' A few minutes afterwards, the boy was whipped on some pretence or other. A poet out West, in speaking of a late tornado, says, 4 the frightened weather cocks alarmed the spires.' This is almost equal to Nat Lee's celebrated line, 4 A mad potato went howling down the gale.' If anything will make a man feel 4 juicy about the heart,' it is to talk velvet to a pair of sky colored eyes in a clover-field. Time, a moonshiny evening in summer. Try it. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1832. Eating a Live Dutchman, A Yankee pedlar traveling through York Stale, some twenty years since, 4 put up' at the house of a Dutch tavern keeper, for the night, at the close of one fine summer j day. At that time, the peculiar prejudices of the Dutch people of that section were strongly shown in their jealousy of the Yankees. Our landlord was one who seemed to take peculiar delight in annoy ing any descendant of the pilgrims who chanced to fall in his way, and it may be ; supposed he did not neglect any opportu nity that presented during the stay of the ; Yankee pedlar to quiz him, or make him the butt of sly jokes. Our Yankee friend was not exactly green, though he kept a very quiet de meanor until the morning, bv which time he had matured a plan for giving the Dutchman an explanation of the old adage, i 4 What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.' The morning sun had dispelled the mist rof the night. Jonathan had hitched his horse to his cart, and brought him up he fore the door ready for a start, alter he ! should have finished his breakfast. The breaklast passed, and Jonathan having set -1 tied his bill fell himself at liberty to meet die Dutchman half-way in any shape he chose to approach and as a signal for a more perfect understanding of his readi ness, he let into hint in this sort:— 4 Now, old Sourkrcu', before 1 go, 1 have one tiling, the last of a large assort- I inent, that 1 want to sell you. You know you are a very prudent, economical sort of a man, and one wonid answer for your whole family, and you could let your neighbors use it after you had got done with it.' 4 What in dunder is it ?' asks Sourkrout. ; 4 Wall, you see now,' says Jonathan, 4 when I laid in my stock, I bought a ! prime lot o' meusels, and I've sold em.all : out, except one, and 1 kinder thought, see in' how you were a very savin' sort of a man, I could let you have that one measle; of course you could make it good all around !' and Jonathan had all the laugh j to himself, The Dutchman began to bluster as soon as he got the idea 4 through itis wool,' and thinking he could do as he chose with the apparently green Yankee, he commenced ! bullying. 4 Look-a-here, mister, none of your tricks upon travelers,' says Jonathan; 4 need't think you can scare a Yankee, no ; how. Why rot your old cabbage garden, I've known a \ ankee to eat such a Dutch man as you are before breakfast!' 4 A Yankee eat a Dutchman ! Dat's a tarnl likely story. I'll bet you live tollar ' you can't eat me !' 4 111 take that bet,' says the Yankee ; call in your neighbors to see fair play.' The Jt. ighbors were called in, and the preliminaries arranged, in which it was agreed that the Dutchman should lake off Ins boots, wash his feet, and lay down on the table, whereupon the stakes were put j UP , The Dutchman was 4 laid out,' and Jo nathan proceeded very deliberately to untie iiis neck ribbon, and unbutton bis sbirt collar preparatory to his canibal feast. Approaching the tabic where lay the wondering Dutchman, Jonathan took up i one of his feet, atjd brought it to his I mouth, and made a very significant im pression with his teeth on the Dutchman's big toe, which elicited a kick and a roar. 4 (>b I mine God .' Slop piling ; dat j hurts J* 4 Never mind ; you don't expect 1 am going to swallow you. That wasn't the bet; I bet I could eat you !' and he made another bite. Old Sourkrout soon perceived that the ; Yankee had tricked him, and that he must either be eaten or lose his five dollars. — lie chose the latter alternative ; the money was paid to the \ ankee, who left with high honors, having vindicated the lame 'of Yankecdom and sustained its high reputation for the production of wooden nutmegs and Yankee Tricks. The old Dutchman lias learned to respect the su perior sagacity of \ ankee pedlars, and from that day, since, he has treated them I with due deference, and never fails to look remarkably silly, if any body says any thing about 4 eating raw Dutchmen' in his presence.— I ankee llludc. i mi i ii ii —a————* GEO. 777 ELDEJt, Attorney at Law, OFFICE in West Marketstreet,opposite Eien bise's Hotel, will attend to any business in the courts of Mililin, Centre, or Huntingdon coun ties.

PRIVATE"SALE. rpHE undersigned will offer for sale his well X known and desirable business stand, situated ! on Valley street, Lewistown, known as the i " LEWISTOWN POTTERY." j The advantages this stand has in location, the facilities it affords for a convenient and ready market for its wares, together with its verv ex tensive patronage, renders it oue of the most desirable in the country. The WARES manufactured at this establish ment are far superior to any other in the six j bounties, and have a reputation that will ever se cure the patronage of the public, from the fact of the material being inexhaustible, and con nected with the concern by a lease of a number | of years. The business of Potting has been carried on successfully at this stand by myself and father i for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad vertisement to prove its advantages 'as a busi ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in | connection with the concern, will also be sold, if purchasers desire it. For further information, apply to the under i signed on the premises, or by mail to Lewistowa P. O. business will be conducted as here tofore until further notice. All orders prompt ly attended to, and wholesale merchants allowed the usual discount upon the delivery of their or j ders.
