The Old Kirkj arc!.
0 come with me to the old Kirkyard,
1 well know the path tliro' the soft greensward;
Friends slumber there we were wont to regard;
We'll trace outtlieir name in the old Kirkyard.
<l mourn not for them—their grief is o'er;
< i weep not for them—they weep no more;
For deep is their sleep, tho' cold and hard,
Their pillow may be in the old Kirkyard.
I know it is vain, when friends depart,
To breathe kind words to a broken heart ;
1 know that the joys of life seem marred,
When we follow them h>inotothcold Kirkyard.
But were 1 at rest beneath yon tree,
Why shouldst thou weop dear friends for me ?
I'm wayworn and sad: ah. why then retard
The rest that 1 seek in the old Kirkyard?
Evening Parting Hymn.
Bright be our parting, where brightly we met:
Voices of music are echoing yet;
Tones that we love to hear
Swell on tic listening ear,
Mark ! now, in accents clear,
Singing good night:
Mood night, good night, and joy surround you:
Good night, good night:
The ling'ring tone that m<*m'ry loves,
Thro' vour dreams in peac<- be stealing,
All its joys in life revealing.
Thro' each field where fancy roves—
Mood night, a warm good night—
Thro' each field where fancy roves—
Mood night, a warm good night—
Mood night, good night, and joy surround you:
Mood night, good night.
The ling'ring tone that mein'ry love- ;
Mood night, good night.
Swift speed the moments of nu > ting with you,
Hours of enjoyment has tinged a they flew ;
Bright as still waters lie,
When each fair star on high
Bends from the quiet sk\,
Looking good night;
Good night, good l ughl—brief he our parting—
( etod night, good nigh:—the echoing fall of
Music's strain,
Breathe around her sweetest numbers,
Through your soft and gentle slumbers,
Till in peace we meet again.
Mood night—once more, good night.

The Sfoul YV eiglicd against a Peat her.
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.

In some instances he has produced a certificate,

act as my agent. He has not confined himself
to this city, but has been operating on the uu- i
suspecting farmers in the adjacent country. In j
one instance, a building (on which one of these
rods had been placed, with assurance that it was j
one of my make,) was struck by lightning, and
burnt to the ground. The point was brought to :
my factory, and on examination proved to be a >
a piece of cast iron, polished. Complaints ol j
this kind are coming in daily-
I now give notice, that 1 have no agent with

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.

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.

Valuable Dwelling & Store Stand

on the corner of^jyLj^gg
ville, Mifflin county, with
a large DWELLING and STOKE ST.LVD,
j Stabling for 8 horses, Kitchen, Wood House,
1 Smoke House, and other out buildings thereon
\ erected. There is also a well of water ou the
| premises, Apple, Peach and Plum Trees in full
i bearing—in fact everything calculated to render

i The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
' best in the country, being situate on the great
| avenue (the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and lvishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the bust
ness—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula
tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied
by Wm. J. Glass, deceased.

cessary,as persons desirous of purchasing will
of course call and examine for themselves.
