BOTH SIDES.
A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gayly dressed wife by his side;
In satin and laces she looked like a queen,
And lie like a king in his pride.
A wood-sawyer stood on the street as thev passed;
i iie carriage and couple he eyed.
And said, as In- worked with his saw on a log,
'• I wish i was rich and could ride."
, The man in the carriage remarked to his wife,
i "One thing I would do if I could:
I d give my wealth for the strength and health
Ot the man who sawed the wood."
A pretty young maid, with a bundle of work,
\\ oose face as the morning was fair.
Went tripping along with a smile of delight,
v\ hilt- humming i love-hrouthing air.
She looked on the earring.—the lady she saw,
Arrayed in appara! so tine:
Ami said, in a whisper, " I wish from my heart
1 hose satins and laces were mine."
i iie lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in her ealii-o dress,
And said. I'd relinquish position and wealth,
iler beauty and youth to possess."
I litis it is in the world, whatever our lot,
( Mir minds and iur time we employ
In longing and sighing for what we have not,
1 ngrateful for what we enjoy.
We revel in pleasure for which we have sighed—
The heart lias a void in it still.
(■rowing deeper and wider the longer we live.
That nothing but heaven can till.
JUSCEEEMEOIiS.
Snobbish High Life.
' The country is running wild !' exclaim
ed an Atlantic cotemporary. ' Extrava
gance, folly and fraud are the great pre
vailing vices of the times—the grand char
lctcristicts ot the age. It is manifestly
more or less in our cities, and its influ
ence is seen in the debasement of men ml
women, and the complete ruin of children.
Every successful speculator or fortunate
operator must imitate, and, if possible, ex
cel his neighbor, the lucky banker or the
money-making grocer; and, to do this, with
out regard to expense, away they go into
the marble and satin, the rosewood and sil
ver, keep extravagant carriages, with horses
to match, and give parties where .Brussels
and \\ ilton outvie in their color the silks
and the wine which make up the chief part
ot the entertainment. Ip it goes into the
air, a huge pile, or a fantastic residence,
but not a room in it for the comfort of the
owner or his family—all of it fur show and
' the public gaze. The women flaunt about
in lace and laziness, or recline upon soft
cushions in lino carriages, neither knowing;
whether the money that keeps them up be
stolen or honestly gained. They are hap
py in the fact that they dash as much as
! tiie richest of, their neighbors. Eor an
i American of fortune—real, solid fortune
—to dash into all this extravagance is fol
ly; but the man is guilty of downright
wickedness, who, upon a little money, goes
to vast and f. olish expense; for he must
| rob somebody to carry out his plans; or,
| if he has enough to warrant it all, hisehil
i dreu, when his fortune is divided among
them, will have ail the silly and extravagant
notions of their father, without his money
to give them reality. Out of all this mis
erable life there spring evils worse than
bankruptcy. The sins of their fathers are
visited upon the children to the third gen
i eratiuti. Of what use to society are the
the children of such people? Sons who
are educated to believe that all this splendor
constitutes the best of life, and that fast
I horses and champagne are em - I. uutic of
high life. Daughters brought up by a silly,
j ridiculous mother, who glories iu her cur
tains and her carpets, her carriage and her
parties, and the fashionable training of her
children. Nice creatures, these, for a life
battle in a world where energy, industry
and endurance are worth to them more than
all the airs, graces and style they learned
iu the parental drawing-rooms or from for
eign masters. Out of thi - struggle to ex
cel in this sort of life there spring, too,
fraud and chicanery, and all manner of
crime; for in the contest, gold, gold is the
end and aim of all, and the means of its
attainment are not regarded. The sensi
ble part of the community laugh at this
folly, and laugli loudly, too, at coarse vul
garity parading itself in gay equipages, and
moving about with all the airs and affecta
; tion of snobbish high life—people eleva
ted above their fellows by a stock operation
or a rise in lots, and rejoicing thereafter in
flashy dresses and in gaudy houses. If
they made fools of themselves alone, it
would all be proper enough; but the effect
upon their families and upon society is most
to be dreaded. In a country where the
law divides among a man's heirs all his es
, tate after death, unless disposed of by will,
; and where the chances are that the proper
ty will not remain in the family beyond the
second generation, it is an utter folly to
build palaces to live in ; far better would
j it be to expend the same money in building
schools or founding asylums, the benefit of
which the rich man's heirs may need. On,
on, goes our American life! Helter. skel
ter —burly burly—on it goes ! Dash—
make a sensation—get money —honestly, if
you can—but get money —educate your
children after the same fashion,and then die
and be forgotten.

Poverty not so great a Curse.
If there is anything in the world that a
youu e man should be more grateful for
than another, it is the poverty which neces
sitates his starting in life under very great
disadvantages. Poverty is one of the best
tests of human quality in existence. A
triumph it is like graduating with honor
from West Point. It demonstrates stuff
and stamina, it is a certificate of worthy
labor creditably performed. A young man
who cannot stand this test is not good for
anything, lie can never rise above a
drudge or a pauper. A young man who
cannot feel his will hardeu as the yoke of
poverty presses upon him, and his pluck
rise with every difficulty poverty throws in
his way, may as well retire into some cor
ner and hide himself. Poverty saves a
thousand times more men than it ruins;
for it only ruins those who are not particu
larly worth saving, while it saves multitudes
ol those whom wealth would have ruined.
If any young man who reads this is so un
fortunate as to be rich, I give him my pity.
I pity you, my rich young friend, because j
you are in danger. You lack one great ,
stimulus to effort and excellence, which j
your poor companion possesses. You will
be very apt, if you have a soft spot on
your head, to think yourselt above him,
and that sort of thing makes you mean, j
and injures you. With lull pockets, and
full stomach, and good linen and broadcloth
on your back, your heart and soul plethoric, !
in the race ol life you will find yourself
supassed by all the poor boys around you,
before you know it.
No, my boy, if you are poor, thank Gor>,
and take courage; for he intends to give
you a chance to make something for your
se If. II you had plenty ol' money, ten
chances to one, it would spoil you for all
useful purposes. I>o you lack education ?
Have you been cut short in the text books?
lteniember that education, like other things, j
does nut consist in the multitude of things
a man possesses. What can yon do ?
That is the question that settles the busi
ness. Do you know your business? Do
you know men, and how to deal with them? i
Has your mind, by any means whatsoever, !
received that discipline which gives to it
action, power, and facility ? If so, then
you are more a man, and a thousand times
better educated than the fellow who grad
uates from a college with his brains lull of
stuff that he cannot apply to the practical
business of life—stuff, the acquisition of
which has in no sense a disciplinary pro
cess so far as he is concerned. There are
very few men in this world less than thirty
years of age, and unmarried, who can at- j
ford to be rich. One of the greatest ben
efits to be reaped from great financial dis- •
asters is the saving of a large crop of young
men. — Timothy Titcomb.
Stumbling Blocks.
It is a lamentable but certain I'uct, that
many of those who one would hope are real
Christians, act in a manner egregiously con
trary to Scriptural maxims, and thus eon
found those who are weak in the faith, and
lay religion open to the scorn of the un
godly. A few specimens will enable many
to see their own picture :
1. The Tyrannical Christian. He
whose sway over his domestics is not less
dreaded than the despotism ol an Eastern
Bashaw, whose will is law, however unreas
able or arbitrary; and of whom it may be
said, as it was of Xabal, ' A man cannot
speak to him.'
2. The Covetous Christian. —A very
gem reus person, perhaps, in public contri
butions, but one who will squeeze and
grind at home, and scarcely allow what is
necessary to make those around him coni
lurtabie.
3. The Sulky Christian. —This charac
ter is soon offended, but it is difficult, and
often impossible, to ascertain the cause,
lie stalks about, now and then venting a
malicious or splenetic effusion. Excepting
this, he is silent, though symptoms of the
corroding matter within are most evidently
manifested by his countenance.
4. The C 'ensorious Christian. —Such an
One may be compared to a nettle, which is
sure to sting you. He is keen to mark the
faults of others, but very kind to his own.
He has erected a standard, and lashes all
who do not conform to it.
5. The Resentful Christian. —lie is one,
who, if you contradict his wishes, thinks
it right to injure you in your business, to
scandalize and deteriorate your character,
and this under the pretence of showing
spirit.
6. The. Fretful Christian. —Let his cir
cumstances be ever so propitious, yet he
will be troubled Disasters shall rather be
fabricated than not have occasion of in
dulging his darling indisposition.— S. S.

Daring Deed of a Girl.
A daring escape was made from the Ohio
Penitentiary, last week, by a girl named
Mary Fuller, who, with a man named
Cheeseman, had been committed for coun
terfeiting. His term had expired, and
Mary's was but half out. By some means
Pheeseinan communicated to her, and a
plan of escape was entered into, to be con
summated the night after his discharge.
The Fact of the 2d inst., says:
Cheeseman served out his time, and was
discharged on Saturday last. On Saturday
night the girl made her escape from the
fifth story of the prison, by passing out of
her window and passing along the side of
the building, upon the cornice or water ta
ble, about eighteen inches broad. Passing
along tha front of the, building at the
immense height of fifty or sixty leet from
the ground, she reached, at the distance of
about forty feet from her room window, a
place where it was necessary to jump about
twelve feet to the roof of the west wing.
The leap was taken, proved a safe one, and the
dauntless woman next fastened to the corn
er of the roof a rope which she had maue
of her bedding, grasped it with her hands
and swinging from the roof, passed down
on the out' i !e of the wall over windows
where other convicts were sleeping, and
down to terra firnia, where, at the distance
of forty-five feet below the roof, she alight
ed in the arms of her confederate in guilt.
It is doubtful whether the feat performed
by this abandoned girl was ever equaled in
the history of escapes from prisons, by any
felon, either of her own or the sterner sex,
and affords another striking illustration of
the old saw, that ' when a woman will, she
will.' The guilty pair left the city after
the scene narrated, and were not found un
til lust evening, when Warden Van Slyke,
acting upon information received from pri
vate sources, went to a heavy forest, about
ten miles from the city, on the Elm Creek
road, where Cheeseman and the woman,
who had staked and lost her all upon him,
were found domiciled in an old cabin, long
since deserted by the owner of the iand.
J he sequel is that the girl is again in the
Penitentiary, and her Cheese-man is boxed
up in the City Prison, to await an examin
ation on Saturday, for having aided a pris
oner to escape.
A YOUIMJ Man Cowhided by a Lady.—
The flourishing village of Norwalk, Ohio,
was the scene of a cowhiding affair on
I liursday last, under the following circum
stances : A young man not long since
married a line young lady and shortly after
left for Pike's Peak, leaving his wife.
She, a few days since, received a letter
signed by a fictitious name, stating that
the writer had seen her at divers and sun
dry parties, Ac., and had noticed that she
was lively and social, but if she would meet
him at a certain place, he would never
mention to her husband's friends his sus
picious that she was too gay, Ac., Ac. She
naturally felt insulted by the note, and de
termined to trace out the author. She
wrote an answer and watched at the Post
oflice to see who called for it. A certain
young clerk called lor the letter and she
resolved to chastise him. Accordingly
meeting him as he left the office, she seized
him by the collar and proceeded to give
him a terrible scouring with the cowhide,
which she drew forth from under her shawl.
He begged piteously to be let alone, pro
testing that lie did not write the letter.
After having tired herself with the exer
cise, she let him escape. A large crowd
gathered and witnessed the flagellation.—

Sad Scene in a Ncic York Tliealcr.—
As Mrs. Josephine Farren, an attache of
the Yolks Garden New York Theater, at
41 Bowery, was performing on the tight
rope on Saturday a week, her clothes
caught lire from the foot lights, soon en
veloping her in a blaze. Iler husband, one
of the musicians of the establishment, with
several others, hastened to her assistance,
and succeeded in extinguishing the flames
only after receiving some severe burns
themselves. As might be expected from
the crowded condition of the theater, the
utmost confusion and excitement prevailed,
the audience fearing that the flames would
spread and set the building on fire. The
theater was vacated in a short time, and
the unfortunate woman died on Sunday.
She was the principal support of her moth
er and sisters.
Shocking Accident. —A few days ago a
workman in a straw paper manufactory, at
Chambersburg, accidentally fell into one of
the large vessels used for steaming straw,
and was scalded in the most horrible man
ner. From the account given of the occur
rence, by the man. it would appear that he
struggled in the boiling water some five or
six minutes, there being no one present to
assist him out, and that alter gaining the
edge of the vessel he fell back again into
the heated liquid and received a second
scalding. His body, legs and left arm were
scalded in the most shocking manner, the
skin being stripped off the greater portion
of the surface and the flesh deeply burnt.
The extent or severity of the scalding ren
ders his recovery very improbable.
9*k person never repents having done
a good action.
NEWS FROM OTHER COUNTIES.
Centre County.
The Democrat says that on Thursday and
Friday, 9th and 10th inst., a man by the
name of Mash, was nearly frozen to death on
the road leading from Eckenworth's Saw Mill
to the Bear Meadows. The facts as near as
we can learn are as follows: Mr. Mash had
been chopping wood near Pleasant Gap for
the Messrs. Valentines, and left or. Thursday
to visit some friends in Stone Valley. When
about fi.'ty rods back of the Saw Mill, on the
road leading to the meadows, he was seized
with a violent pain in his stomach. Finding
that he was going to fall he threw himself on
a pile of brush near by, and losing all power
of his limbs lay there during the afternoon,
all night Thursday, and most of Friday.—
Near nightfall ou Friday, slightly recovering,
Mr. Mash, by crawling on his hands and
kuees and rolling his body along over the
stunes and rocks reached the saw mill where
a son of Mr. Eekenworth was working. As
sistance was immediately called, the unfortu
nate man taken up and kindly cared for. To
reach the mill Mr. Mash had to cross the creek
twice where the water runs over a foot deep :
neither of the crossings being bridged he
dragged his body through the stream. The
preservation of Mr. Mash's life is wonderful
when we recollect that he was exposed to the
cold for nearly 48 hours. Thursday night
was one of the wildest and coldest n.giics of
the season ; y L dun*. *:• whole of that ter
rible nigh: :!•-.? ] or man lay exposed to the
storms an I win . iu a bleak wilderness, far
from any habitation, conscious that he was
freezing, yet unable to move hand or foot, and
waiting only for the cold hand of death to
close his eyes and end his misery forever.
IV e understand that both of his legs have
been amputated, one above the knee, and the
other at the ankle joint. His life is not de
spaired of, however, and with the exception
of the loss of his legs he will sustain no fur
ther injury.
A man whose name we do not know, one
day last week was lifting a stick of timber in
the Barrens near Pennsylvania Furnace, when
the stick slipped, knocked him down and fal
ling upon his head, crushed out his brains,
and killed him almost instantly.
As M rs. Woiner was leaving New Germany
for Boalsburg, her horse became frightened,
and rearing plunged forward and threw her
upon the ground, breaking one of her legs
just below the kuee. She received no further
injury, and is now rapidly recovering.
The Press says that on Saturday morning
a man by the name of James Iluey, a resi
dent of Bcllefoiite was seriously injured at
Mr. Mann's axe polishing shop. Mr. Iluey,
in the beginning of the week, was engaged as
polisher, and was informed that the strapping
and machinery was required to he in order
before the gate was hoisted in the morning.
On morning seeing that the gate
was about to be drawn, he endeavored to put
his strap upon the wheel, and in the same
moment the gate was hoisted, and he being
caught in the strap, was instantaneously
whirled around the wheel and thrown a dis
tance of ten or twelve feet. As may be sup
posed, he is very much injured. Dr. Potter
was immediately sent for, and the wounded man
is doing very well. It came near costing him
his life, for had the strap not slipped over his
head, his neck undoubtedly would have been
dislocated. As it was, a portion of his ear
is taken off and there is a deep, long cut in
his head.
Huntingdon County.
The Glube of the 15th says': —Yesterday
morning the 9 o'clock passenger train east run
over and instantly killed Nicholas Peightal, a
farmer who lives on Dry Ridge farm, just
above town. Mr. Peightal was engaged in
hauling ties for the railroad, and had just
thrown off a load, and stepped to the opposite
side of the track, when the train came along.
He attempted to re cross the track again to
his horses, for fear they would frighten at the
cars, when he slipped and fell, the cars pas j
sing over his head, crushing it into a jelly,
and killing him instantly. lie leaves a wife
and several children to mourn his sudden and
unexpected death.
Wo have heard of two farmers in this coun

for sale "genuine California gold" watches.
They valued their watches at from SIOO to
$175, but being hard pressed for money,
agreed to take a much less sum. One was
bought for S4O, and another for SIOO. Some
days after the strangers had left for other

Tl iUinrj AJrenhirr. —On Monday last, a
party of gentlemen visited tlie bay for the
purpose of seeing the Indians, and others to
iish for trout. Alkut two o'elbck some of the
party observed a singular motion of the iee.
It appeared that there was a strong current
in the water, hut an examination disclosed the
fact that the iee upon which they were stand
ing had parted between them and the shore,
and that they were rapidly floating into Lake
Huron. They at ones put their horses in
motion to find some point where they could
get to tlie main land, but could find no such
place. In the meantime they were going very
rapidly, the wind blowing a gale from the
shore. Their situation was very dangerous,
hot!) as regards tlie danger of the breaking
up of the ice upon which they were, and the
severe cold ; great ex dement existed at Bay
City amongst the inhabitants generally, and
many plans for their relief were talked of and
canvassed. They floated some fourteen miles,
when one end of the iee fortunately grounded
on Squaw Point. They made a rush for the
shore, after first getting off their horses and
sleighs. The ice was much broken, and they
had to travel some distance over separate
cakes to reach the shore.— East Sayitiaic

Explosion in a Church. —Says the Chum

commence preaching his farewell sermon, in
the M. E. Church, which was filled with peo
ple. a camphene lamp hanging in the aisle
exploded, to the great consternation of the
congregation. The scene, we have been told,
was awful for a few minutes. Every person
supposed the whole house was on fire The
ladies became very much frightened; some of
them fainted; all screamed at the top of their
voices A rush was made for the doer. In
the excitement some person, dreading the con
sequences ot delay, bounced through one of
the windows, carrying out sash, glass, and
everything else. Although for awhile ft
thought that escape from death of serious in
jury would be impossible, yet no person was
hurt. The floor of the building caught fire,
but tiie flames were soon extinguished. The
alarm f fire brought all the inhabitants of
the town to the church. A more thankful
people would be hard to find than were they
at their Providential escape.

by other losses, caused by endorsements. In
less than eighteen months Mr. W. passed
