IDEAL AND REAL,
BY JOHN O. SAXE
Some years ago, when I was young,
And Mrs. Jones was Aliss Delaney ;
When wedlock’s canopy was hung
With curtains from the loom of fancy ;
I used to paint myifuturo life
With most poetical precision—
My special wouder of a wife ;
My happy days; my nights Elysian.
I saw a lady, rather small,
Ji'No was my strict abhorrenoe,)
With flaxen hair, contrived to fall
In careless ringlets, a la Lawrence;
A blond complexion ; eyes that drew
From autumn clouds tbeir azure brightness;
The foot of Venus; arms whose hue
Was perfect in its milky whiteness !
I saw a party, quite select.—
There might have been a baker’s dozen;
A parson of the ruling sect;
A bride’s maid, ami a city cousin ;
A formal speech to me and mine,
(Its meaning I could scafte discover;)
A taste of cake; a sip of wine;
Some kissing—and the scene was over
I saw a baby—one—no more ;
A cherub pictured, rather faintly,
Jleside a pallid dame who wore
A countenance extremely saintly.
1 saw —but nothing could I hear,
Except the softest prat tic*, may be—
The merest breath upon the ear
So quiet was that blessed baby !
I see a womun, rather tall.
And own. a comely lady
Complexion—such as I must call
(To be exact) a little shady ;
A hand not handsome, yet confessed
A generous one for love or pity ;
A nimble fool, and—neatly dressed
In JXo. s—extremely pretty.
I sec a group of boys and girls
Assembled round the knee paternal
With ruddy cheeks and tangled curls,
And manners not at all supernal.
And one has reached a manly size;
And one a.-pires to woman’s stature
And one is quite a recent prize,
And all abound in human naturo !
The boys are hard to keep in trim ;
The girls are often very trying;
The baby—like the cherubim—
Seems very fond of steady crying !
And yet the precious little one,
His mother's dear, despotic master,
Is worth a thousand babies, done
In Parian or alabaster !
And oft that stately darno .and I,
When laughing o'er our early dreaming,
And marking, as the years go by,
How idle was our youthful scheming,
Confess the wiser power that knew
How care each earthly joy enhances,
And gave us blessings rich and true,
And better far than all our fancies!
A LOVING GIIIL IN A PET
Well, let him go, or let him stay!
1 do not mean to die !
I guess he’ll find that I can live
Without him, if I try !
Ho thought to frighten mo with frowns,
80 terrible and black—
He’ll stay away a thousand years
Before 1 ask him back !
Ho said that 1 had acted wrong,
Aod foolishly besido;
I won’t forgive him after that—
I wouldn’t, if X died !
If I was wrong, what right had ho
To bo cross with mo ?
I know I’m not an angel quite—
I don’t protend to be. •
Ho had auothor sweotheart once,
And now, whon wo fall out,
Ho always says sho was not cross,
And that she didn’t pout.
It is enough to vex a saint!
It’s moro than 1 can bear!
I wish that girl of bis was—
Well, 1 don’t caro where !
He thinks that sho was protty, too—
Was beautiful as good;
I wonder if she’d get him back
Again, now, if she could?
I know she would—and there she is
She lives almost in sight,
And now it’s after nine o'clock—
Perhaps ho’s there to-night!
I’d almost writo to him to come—
But, then, I’ve said I won’t!
I do not care so much —but —she
Shan’t have him, if I don’t!
Bosides. I know that i was wrong,
And ho was in tho right;
I guess I’ll tell him so ; and thon—
I wish he'd come to-night !
A STORY OF A GARTER.
Just at four o’clock one dazzling after
noon last February, two young persons,
opposite tenders, took sudden possession
of a neat sluigii, muffled themselves to
gether in a manner intended to secure as
far as possible the double advantage of
comforting protection and engaging ap
pearance, and, after judicious settlement
of skirts and robes on the one hand, and
hat and furs on the other, darted off, along
the smooth and shining roads of Winston.
Clear and still, and not at all chilling, was
the atmosphere. The sun shed all its
splendor from a cloudless sky, and the
spotless earth radiantly reflected its glit
tering beams. The two sleighers with
whom we have to do agreed without de
bate that no other day so favorable for
their excursion could have been selected,
and in turn went into spasms of rhetorical
excitement over the glories of Winter—in
its present cheering aspect.
Not having accustomed themselves to the
assiduous study of Nature, they failed to
exactly interpret certain omens which
might otherwise have interfered with their
innocent enthusiasm. Of course neither
had noticed, the right before, the broad
circle of luminous haze that surrounded
the moon, giving warning of approaohing
disorder above. Of course neither con
sidered, as they dashed along heeding only
their own pleasan: fancies, the light clouds
which rapidly rising, soon overspread the
southern heaven, and gradually threatened
to obscure the declining sun. What need
had they to anticipate the possible inter--
ruption of their sport 1
None, certainly. Their aim was pleas
ure.
Lucy Brandon, niuoteen, daintily beau
tiful, and coquettish by unconquerable'
feminine instinct, filled the hearts of. the
youth of Winston, above all, those hearts
gathered within the institution for the
wholesale manufacture of clergymen for
which Winston is celebrated, with fine
frenzies.
The secular youth swore • she was an
angel. The students, whose destiny was
theological, did not swear, but, after in
vestigating the subject, and finding that
angels-were sometimes imperfect and falli
ble, proclaimed * her divine, and in their
orisons remembered her.
In this way they satisfied all the condi
tions of their college life Inside the
walls they were divinity students ; outside,
they-were students of divinity.
In confidence it may be revealed that
Miss Lucy’s highest attributes were in fact
of a mortal order. She was not a bit of
an angel; but she was what is much bet
ter for the purpose of this world—a charm
ing girl, with beauty enough to wind
golden ohains around susceptible young
hearts, and wit enough to fasten them with
glistening clasps whenever she chose. At
the same time, she was as amiable as could
fairly be expected of a spirited young wo
man who ruled a subservient seminary
with a rod more rigid than any of the pro
fessors could wield; she was, with all her
frolicsome coquetry, as discreet as a dowa
ger, and she was not destitute of good
sense, a powerful proof of which was that
she never wrote her name Lucie. Never
theless, it is a melancholy truth that many
of the maidens of Winston persistently re- =
fused to recognize those infatuating quali
ties whi h by the ruder creatures w re
unanimously accorded to her.
After a considerable period of supreme
sway, Miss Brandou at length sigln-J,
Alexander-wise, for something to conquer. 1
She fell in with Mr. Henry (so uliris- 1
tened, but popularly denominated Harry) ;
Langford, a fine young fellow with no theo
logical aspirations, who had come up to 1
Winston to look aftersome long neglected 1
relations. Clever and well-dressed, and
with a heavenly curl to his hair, be inter
ested Miss Brandou, who forthwith smiled
upon him,' and baited her flirtation-books j
with mosfc delicate fascinations. With u j
shade of surprise, she observed that her |
intended victim succeeded in reaping the |
full benefit of the baits, and yet refused
to be caught. Upon this, she became shy,
and he commenced a promiscuous assault
upon t lie affections of every available
young woman encountered. As soon
as it was evident that they understood each
other, they began to laugh. Consultation
followed. From laughing at one another
they turned to laughing at Miss Brandon’s
troop of suppliant admirers. I am sorry
to say' that the young lady betrayed confi
dence. She told him how one especially
devout adorer was continually quoting
Scriptural puffs to..her; and how another,
of entomological turn of mind, would in
sist on comparing to new aud exquisite
specimens of bugs. Then he told her,
quite maliciously,Jiow precarious her rule
was, and cruelly likeued her position
to that of a keeper in a luuatio asylum,
whose strength lies in his confidence that
his subordinates, having lost their wits,
possess no power of combination among
themselves to defeat his plans. Occasion
ally Miss Brandon was a little tart; some
•times Mr. Langford was a little rude ; but
they usually kept within amicable bouuds,
and were understood to be excellent friends
—nothing more !
Not one of Miss Lucy’s devotees ever
thought it worth while to look upon Harry
Langford with eyes of green indignation.
He was in no degree rapturous about her ;
she often snubbed him. An infintesimal
quarrel between them had onoe beeu de
tected. Besides, he was not a resident,
only a visitor, whose opportunities were
thus limited.
Moreover it is a fact that no two persons
were more profoundly convinced of their
absolute indifference to one another than
Miss Brandou and Mr. Langford them
selves.
They hud given much private thought
to the subject, (there was the dauger !) and
had satisfied themselves that they were, as
every body understood, excellent frieuds
—nothing more !
Nevertheless it happened that Mr. Lang
ford was suddenly overcome by a sense of
shame at his want of family feeling iu so
long neglecting his Winston relations.—
So he endeavored to repair old errors by
frequent visits, and established an exten
sive acquaintance in the neighborhood.—
He grew fond of sooial gaieties. He cul
tivated all Winston. At every important
gathering he was made welcome.
At last the winter came, and every body
knows how delightful the winter is in a
New England country town, where tho
thermometer never by any excess of
tation gets more than an occasional degree
or so above the 0 ; where frozen noses are
to be met with at every corner, and are
deemed neither uncommon nor unornamen
tal, while frozen toes are accepted almost
in the light of a luxury; where ice cream
is indissolubly associated with breakfast,
and where for many months life is but a
perpetual shiver. Mr. Langford, anxious
to experience all these joys, came up to
Winston in the middle of February to re
main two' days, bringing with him bag
gage sufficient for three weeks, to which
term, after much inter-exchange of en
treaty and expostulation, he was induced
to extend his visit.
The first time he met Miss Brandon, he'
tempted her with the suggestion of a
sleigh-ride. Said he, 4 A sleigh-ride in
winter is seldom amiss,’ and was there
upon sharply criticised for admitting the
possibility of such a thing at any other
season. However, Miss Brandon con
sented. See would ride with him the next
afternoon.
In the morning Mr. Henry Langford
gravely inspected the family stable, but
found nothing therein equal to his own
idea of the magnitude of the oocasion. At
the public stable he was more, successful.
At first he contemplated the luxurious
magnificence of a span, but an irresistible
impulse subsequently induced him to scttlo
upon a single courser. (One horse may
be driven with one hand !) It is difficult
to imagine what impelled him to seek with
such pertinacity as he did for the narrow
est sleigh in the collection. At four
o’clock, P. M., the light-hearted young
pair dashed away, as full of good-natured
glee as the sleigh was full of Jthem—and
they fitted very compactly. Miss Brandon,
knowing the country more intimately than
her companion, undertook to point their
way, a manner of proceeding quite agree
able, in view of the male creature’s total
ignorance of localities. They glided on,
turning hither-and thither, until ere long
they left the clustering cottages of Winston
quite a distanoe behind. For a while both
chattered and laughed with a vigor that
put them into a precious glow ; but by
and-by Mr. Henry stopped short, in an
unaccountable manner, and left Miss Lucy
to do the declamation, contenting himself
with watching the sparkle of her eye, or
the pretty curve of her lip, as she threw
out incessant little smart sprinkles of
feminine wit. Presently he observed with
wonder a faint suspicion of a flutter tremb
ling through him, and attributed it to their
rapid motion, recollecting similar sensa
tions in earlier youth, caused by swinging.
He must have expressed something odd
in his countenance, for, of a sudden, Miss
Luoy cut short her fun, and subsided into
a dim oblivious tranquility. Just one
minute after, it flashed upon Mr. Henry
Langford, that he Lad for the past six
months been steadily and uninterruptedly
oooupiod in making a muff of himself;
“ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”—BUCHANAN.
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOYEMBER 1, 1859.
that the notion of 4 excellent friendship,’
so far as he aud Lucy Brandon was con
cerned was utterly absurd aud degrading
to think upon ; that the truth was he
loved her dearly, and that he ought to
have known it long, and should, if he had
ever before been alone with her, as he now
found himself. Having settled all to his
own satisfaction, be took courage and a
bold step.
4 Miss Lucy ’ (rather shakily) are you
comfortable ?’
4 Oh, perfectly.’
4 Not cold V
4 No, indeed.’
Now what he wanted was, that she should
say she wa3 cold, and be considered him
self a little ili-use'd because she did not.
But he would not be bereft of his idea ;
so gathering reins in one hand, he
cautiously disembarrassed the other, and
sweeping his arm around the back of the
sleigh, caused that vagrant member to
encircle the bis bundle of buffalo bandages
which confined the gentle form beside him.
Not a word of remonstrance, but a silence
dangerously ominous, if he had kuown it.
Incoherently mumbling a repetition of the
inquiry concerning comfort, etc., he per
mitted the arm to venture upon a faint
suggestion of a squeeze.
This time the little face, now sadly
flushed, came round square upon him, and
disconcerted him horribly. But with
desperate impudence he remarked quite
careles.-dy, ami looking earnestly at a point
in the road at the distance of half-a-mile
ahead — 4 Please shut, your eyes a minute.’
Down weut the lids.
T 7
The calm was over. First came a
torrent of reproaches, very limited m
-duration, but’ of crushing weight; then
an intrusive little tear, which had better
stayed away ; then a dead silence. Mr.
Henry Langford was sorely afflicted. 4 lf
she did not want me to kiss her,’ thought
he, 4 then why did she shut her eyes V As
he could make nothing of it, he endeavored
to effect pacification, but all encouraging
response was withheld. Hardly a word
was vouchsafed him, and the few he got
were by no means of a character to till
him with rapture. In the midst of his
anxious argument, there came a cry from
the side road.
Harr) pulled up, and saw a melancholy
looking woman, not well clad, not strongly
framed, standing with a child in her
arms. She asked how far it was to
Linville.
4 How tar to Linville, Miss Brandon V
inquired Harry, iu blissful ignorance.
4 Four miles ’ —(rather pettishly.)
The woman of melancholy mien further
more desired to know the direction. Was
it straight on I
4 Yes 7 —(stiff aad short.)
The lugubrious female murmured a
thank and the sleigh moved off. Iu about
a minute Mr. Langford clutched the reins
savagely, and uttered an exclamation
which would have satisfied any listener of
his innocence of theological tendencies.
Miss Lucy emitted a high D, head
register, staccato.
4 1 think lam a brute,’ quietly remarked
Mr. Ileury Langford.
Miss Brandon now assumed an air of
resignation, as if expecting an apologetic
explanation of the recent rudeness. She
was disappointed, and when the sleigh
began to turn about, became perplexed.
‘The woman is going to Linville,
wherever that is. She mustn’t walk four
miles through the snow this weather.
And loaded down with a big baby too !’
Miss Brandon gave out symptoms of
uneasiness. 4 You are not going all the
way to Linville,’ said she.
4 Certainly I am, Miss Brandon ’ —and
he drew up beside the pedestrian of
aspect.
4 1 do not see as there is room,’ said
Miss Brandon, ungraciously; and the
poor woman shrank back at the words.
Harry’s eyes flashed in a. very uncivil!
manner, I am afraid, as he said roughly,
4 We will make room,’ springing out at the
moment, and hurriedly lifting the lachry
mose traveler and her child into his place.
Then, without a word, he quartered himself
upon a seotion of the sleigh’s floor, and
and drovp ahead.
In a little while Miss Brandon said,
softly— 4 l think there is room up here Mr.
Langford.’ r .
4 1 am very -’well down here,’ he
answered ; and then, in a low voice, lean
ing over towards her— 4 1 could not have
thought, Miss Brandon, that you would
transfer any part of the resentment you
felt toward me to this unoffending and
unfortunate person.’
Lucy began jto cry, but this new
phenomenon escaped his • notice. The
woman of woeful countenance, who heard
nothing, but saw everything, sat on thorns.
Now here was a most unhappy misunder
standing, for Miss Lucy really deserved
better of this good-natured, but too hasty
young knighoerrant. T4ie fact was, that
just at the moment when the pedestrian
episode began to interfere, she had
discovered that she was not irreconcilably
offeuded, after all, and was longing for an
opportunity to give a fraction of a hint to
that effect. Having, after much waver
ing, heroically resolved to do this unfemi
nine thing, she was naturally disturbed
by the interruption. So the cause of her
pique was not at all uufiattcring to her
cavalier.
Presently she bent forward, and said
timidly, but with inexpressible sweetness :
4 Won’t you forgive me, Mr. Langford V
Harry looked quickly up, and saw one
.tear glistening on the end of her nose,
and another threatening to freeze upon her
cheek. He pushed back something that
came uninvited into his throat and sang
out lustily : — 4 Come now, it is cold here,
and I must have a share of the buffaloes!’
—and he clambered in, without much dis
turbing the solemn-visaged passenger.
Lucy got up a small laugh.
Before they reached Linville it was six
o’clock, and growing dark. A few snow
flakes, scarcely noticed, rested upon the
horse’s back. Five minutes more, and
they had deposited their passenger at her
destination. She flung out a profusion of
thanks, flavored by a tear. The reconcil
ed twain started homeward, each a little
doubtful as to the exact condition of the
other’s temper. Preliminarily, they con
versed upon very remote topics—agreed
that as Linville was eight miles from
Winston, they had about eight miles to
overcome ; and that as it was already late,
it would probably be later before they
reached home. The increasing snow fur
nished a new subject, and. this very soon
acquired a positive interest, as it steadily
gained strength. In a little while gnsts
of wind came surging along, keen and icy,
and impudently whirling the light snow
into the faces of the homeward-bound.—
With any other companion, Mr. Harry
Langford would have said disagreeable
things. Miss Brandon acknowledged to
herself that if she were now under the
guidance of any of her professed devotees,
there might be words as bitter as the wind.
When they were fonr miles from Win
ston, they came to a sudden turn in the
road. The new snow had drifted here,
and the way was difficult to pass. At a
touch of the whip, the horse plunged for
ward and—a trace snapped !
This was seridus. Langford sprang
out, and discovered that the difficulty
might be temporarily arranged by splicing.
For this he needed twine. Together they
searched the sleigh, but ftund no consola
tion there. Ten cheerless minutes passed.
Harry tried a expedients, all unsuc
cessful. What should bb done 1 'There
were no houses near. It was becoming
very dark.
At last he proposed, not without hesi
tation, to draw the sleigh to the side of
the road, to wrap his feir charge in irnpenj
etrable folds, and to start off on foot in
search of twine.
At this point all trouble vanished in an
instant. In a faint voice Miss Lucy unex
pectedly chirped forth from her pile of
buffalo robes— 4 Will this do 1 ?’ and
instantly hid herself from human view.
She had let fall something upon the
snow that lay like a half-coiled blue snake.
In answer to her frightened question she
was informed that it 'did. Harry, laughing
himself to pieces internally, but superfici
ally solemn and calm, repaired damages,
resumed his place, and drove cautiously
onward. After a while he said— 4 Think,
now, Miss Luoy, of a woman walking to
Linville in this tempest.’
Lucy looked appealingly into his face,
and gave signals of great distress.
4 You are cold,’ be said ; and as she
wa9 silent, he took it for granted that she
was ! !
As,they passed through the long avenue
to Mr. Brandon’s house, an eleotric exper
iment took place, without the same explo
sive result as before.
The next evening there was a sewing
circle in Winston. A sewing-circle is a
popular needle-and-tbrpad assemblage at
which flannels and reputations are pitilessly
punctured ; at which under-garments for
infants and scandal-cloaks for adults are
manufactured, and all made to fit. The
duties of the occasion having been worried
through early in the evening, the mascu
line element was suffered to mingle socially
and the sport began. Mr. Henry Lang
ford was admitted with the rest of the
thitherto excluded. He looked mischie
vously at the centre of attraction. The
centre of attraction smiled at him, and
folded its front upper teeth over its lower
lip.
Lid you ever notice what a depth and
variety of meaning is conveyed by that
very curious contortion of the female face?
It signifies amazement, amusement, grief,
anger, reflection, —almost anything, ac
cording to the will of the exhibitor.
This time it meant remonstrance and
exhortation.
A divinity student was talking very
loudly about the Atlantic cable, and des
canting upon the ingenuity of mau.
Mr. Langford asserted that the ingenu
ity of man bore no comparison to the
ingenuity of woman ; and proposed to
substantiate his position by a slight nar
ration, and a simple apparatus he had in
his pocket.
From the centre of attraction there
came again a high D, head register, this
time staccatissimo. Miss Brandon broke
recklessly from her circle, spilling all
'Sorts of work-box treasures as she ran.—
Spools, needles, pins, bodkins, scissors,
hooks were scattered- around in inextri
cable confusion.
‘ Harry, give it me,’ she pleaded
-very softly—< please do, dear Harry.’
The 1 dear ’ was of at least ten seconds’
duration. Long before the prominent
vowel was exhausted, Harry Langford was
a lost man.
‘ There it is,’ he said, ‘ and what shall
I have in return V (All this very softly.)
‘ Everything ’ —(more softly still, but
with a smile that was better than a dozen
orations.)
In the course of a week, the youth of
Winston heard something that took away
its appetite. It considered that its confi
dence had been abused. It regarded Mr.
Henry Langford as an intruder who had
exceeded the privileges extended by hos
pitality.
A little while after this, in the course
of a retrospective conversation, Miss Bran
don made the following-mysterious remark,
with all the extravagant emphasis peculiar
to young ladies :
4 Nothing of the sort, Harry. It was
horribly old-fashioned, and it was the
merest accident in the world ! !’
It seems there are ever so many morals
in this story, notwithstanding it is ao
short, and so true—for it is true, every
word, excepting only the names of persons
and places. There is a moral of youthful
society, a moral of humanity, a moral of
feminine apparel, and some more, all of
which it is very pleasant to reflect upon,
since none of them were intended. But I
shall not take the trouble to point them
out.

EXTRA CHARGE OF $5 FOR HESTHERS.
T3O Chestnut street, Philadelphia. 495 Broadway, N. York.
Agencies in all principal Cities and Towns in the U. S.
These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather and Stitch in a superior style, finishing ftoch
6eam by their own operation, without recourse to the hand
needle, as is reqnired by other macliines. . They will do
better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, eTen if
she works .for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines In the market for family sewing, on ac
count of thrir simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine wo*k with eqoai facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their Ma
chines. the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Grover A Baker’s Machines in my
family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in com
mending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.”— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt , wife
of Rev. Dr. Leavitt. Editor of TV. Y. Independent.
“1 am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has
been in my family for many months. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing the spools of thread.”—A/rs. Elizabeth Strickland,
wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor New York Christian
Advocate.
“After trying several diSerentgood machines, I preferred
yours, ou account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease
with which it is managed, as well as the strength and du
rability of the seam. After long experience. 1 fee! compe
tent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recommend
it for every' variety of family sewing.”— Mrs. FL B. Spooner,
wife, of the Editor of Brooklyn Star.
“I have used a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for two
years, aud have found it adapted to all kiuds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garment*have beeu
worn out without the giving way of a stitch. The Machine
is easily kept in order, and easily used.”— Mrs. A. B. Whij>-
pie. wife of Rev. Geo. Whijrple, New York.
“Your Sewing Machine has been in use in my family the
past two years, aud the ladies request me to give you thbir
testimonials to its perfect adaptedness, us well as labor
saving qualities iu the performance of family aud house
hold sewing.” —Robert Boorman. New York.
“F’or several months w$ have used Grover A Baker’s
Sewiug Machine, and have co to the conclusion that
every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly
done, would be most fortuuate in possessing one of these
reliable and indefatigable ‘irou needle women.’ whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength, and simjilicity, are in
valuable.”—J■ IK Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris,
Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thoa. R. Leavitt, Esq., au Amer
ican gentleman, now resident iu Now South Wales, dated
January 12, 1858:
“I had a tout made in Melbourne, in 1553, iu which there
were over three thousand yards of Sewing done with one
of Grover .V Baker's Machines, aud a single seam of that
has outstond all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle aud twine,”
-If Homer could be called up from bis murky hades, he
would sing the advent of Grover A Baker as a more benig
nant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan’s smithy. He
would denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the direful
spring of wues unnumbered.’”— Prof. North.
-I take pleasure in saying that the Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machiues have more than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have three of them in
operation in my different places, and, after fouf yeans’ trial,
have no fault to find.”— J. 11. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina.
“My wife has had one ofGrover A Baker’s Family Sewing
Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is one of the
best labor-saving machines that has been invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to the public.’’— l. G-
Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, andfputs everybody into an ex
citement of good humor. Were I a Catholic, I should insist
upon Saints Grover aud Baker having an eternal holiday
in commemoration of their good deeds for humanity.”—
Cassius M. Clay.
"I think it by far the best patent in use. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cae
siraere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than
one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money
could not buy it.”— Mrs. J. G. Brown. Nashville, Tenn.

A CARD
The subscriber having several hundred dollars of bills
of the Lancaster Bank, id desirous of collecting them off
the stockholders, as the Bank refused payment. Now, as
it id hard for one man to tight a thousand, I take this
method of equalizing the expense, and hope all who have
Lancaster Bank bills will immediately send them tome
for collection, for soon they will be worthless for the want
of attending to. It will cost from Five to Ten Thousaud
Dollars to push the matter through the Courts. 1 want
parties to send me at the rate of Five Dollars to tbe hun
dred to pay Court charges, in good money, otherwise no
one can afford to enforce collection, and the poor bill holder
will lose all. The Bank failed November, 1856, HDd at this
date, August, 1659. it owes depositors $'83,000 —owes out
standing bills $175,00u —has several hundred stockholders
who are mostly wealthy, und can be made to pay, first the
bill holders and then the depositors. I also find the Bank
has about SoU,OOO owing it, which is good, but they are
purchasing the bills at 10 cents to 15 cents on the dollar
to pay their noted with, and when they are all paid, there
will bo no value to the bills, without it is attended to as I
propose. “FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED”—send on
your money immediately.

PATENT AMBROTVPES.—The sub
scribers having purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster. city, are enabled to offer to the public a new style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability,any ever
before made. These pictures are uot reversed, as daguerreo
types areand may be seen in'&nylight. They also possess the
rare property of being imperishable; l>eing hermetically
sealed between glass plates, which is secured by Letters
Patent, in tbe United States, Great Britain and France,
aud practised in Lancaster city by T. A IP. CUMMINGS,
only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Qneen st*,
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
Tbe term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with'an indestructible cement, by
which the picture will retain its original briliancy for
ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful In tone,
surpasses any thing in tbe gradations of light and shade
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.—
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfect as Hie
Citizens and Btrangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine Specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
