It matters not how much experience a person may have, he is fcUble to have some failures out of a number of cajEes, and if the dentist lives at a distance t is frequently put off until it is too late to aave the tooth or teeth as it mav be, other jrise the inconvenience and trouble of going 0 far.

"We may go through the world, but 'twill be ve ry slow, If we listen to all that is said as we go ; We'll be worried and fretted and kept in a stew For meddlesome tongues must have some thing to do For people will talk, &c. If quiet, and modest, 'twill then be presumed, That your humble position is only assumed ; You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, or else you're a fool ; But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool, For people will talk, Ac If generous and noble they'll vent out their Fpleen;. You'll hear some loud hints that your selfish and mean ; If upright and honest, and fair as the day, They'll call you a rogue in a sly sneaking way, For people will talk, &c Then if you show the least boldness of heart, Or a slight inclination to take your own part, They'll call you an rpstart, conceited and vain, But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explan, For people will talk, &c. If threadbare your coat, or old fashion your dress Some one of course will take notice of this, And hint rather close that you can't pay your way, But don't get excited, whatever they say, For people will talk, Ac. If vou dress in the fashion, don't think to cs cape, For they criticise these in a far different shape : You're ahead of your means, or your bills are unpaid, But mind your own business and keep straight ahead, For people will talk, Ac. They'll talk fine before you, but then at your back Of venom and falsehood there's never a lack ; How kind and polite in all that they say, But bitter as gall when you're out of the way For people will talk, Ac Brother, take my advice, and do as you please, For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ease ; Of course you will meet with all sorts of abuse, But dont think to stop them, it ain't any use For people will talk, Ac. Ilebecca's dont tremble, or attempt to look shy, But let scandal, and evil, like the wind pass you by, For there is always enough standing ready to follow After lying reports 'gainst an honest Odd Fel low.

The Glouchester Telegraph says that one of the oldest citizens in West parish remembers the visit that George Wash ington made to Ipswich daring his Presi dential tour. Parson Cleveland, of Essex a patriotic chaplain of the Revolution was among those who went to speak to General Washington, and approached him with his cocked hat under his arm. "Put on your hat, parson," said the General, "and I will shake hands with you. The person replied that he could not wear his hat in the General's presence, when he thought what he had done for his country. ''You did as much as I did' said the General. No I no!" replied the person. Yes," said the General ; "you did what you could, and I've done no more." Scene in a Hotel. Stranger 'Have you a good, strong porter about the house?"

While laborers were demolishing an old building in Twenty-seventh street, New York, on Tuesday, they discovered, in an old rat's nest, a roll of bills amount ing to 250. Eight years ago the money was lost, and a jouthful clerk, then boarding in the house, was suspected and convicted of being the thief. His charac ter was thus ruined, and, giving way to dissipation, he died on Blackwell's Island. A few days since a lady of Gloucester, Mass., had occasion to leave her house for a few moments, and left her six months' baby on the floor. On returning rhe was surprised to find the child mis sing. After searching for some time she discovered that the family dog had taken the baby to the garret, and deposited it i in a basket of rags. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION RETURNS g The Vote of 1808 Official .

Yet, in America, tgnthe maxim has been fairly trodden under ! foot, and ij practically disowned. My 4532 ! father-in-law was a physician. lie bought 4723 a farm, and few farmers in that town ex celled him. He had also a small stithy where he mended his tools, shod his horses, ani performed no small share of smith's wcrk. He seldom sent a harness off from tne place to be mended, and much of the cobbling was done in the house. His children were all brought up to turn their hacd to anything. It istmcjthatby this course no one could attain to supreme excellence in any one of all the departments, but that is not ne cessary. For the ordinary purposes of life, general handiness is better than skill in only one thing. If hard times befal one trade, a Yankee betakes himself to another. : He looks about to see what things are thrifty, and puts his hand to them without waiting a seven years, ap prenticeship. In old time3, when men had few means or incitements to intelli gence, long apprenticeships might be needed, and in some callings they still are.

The Uuited States District Jude man, with commence in ms powers, can do a hundred things well enough for or dinary purposes without serving any ap prenticeship, except with his eyes learn ing as he goes along. To a large extent this Jiandiness is like ly to be confined, however, to our labor ing classes. The children of wealthy parents, and boys who are set apart for some learned profession, are seldom ex pected to deal with anything but ideas When they grow up, if they fail in the particular calling to which they belong, they become helpless, and feebly strive with T)oor success, until refined people brought suddenly to proverty ! Education sltouhl beget prac tical facility. Too often it is a mere ex ercise of the braiu. in which the hands have no participation. When thrown out of their regular callings, hundreds of peo ple are as helpless as a ship on dry ground. The worst of it is, that nobody can help any body who cannot help him self. Imbecility in practical affairs leaves one to hang like a dead weight around the neck of those who would aid him. It is foolish for one to say, "My child ren win never need such manual craft; they are to have wealth and influential connections." In the ever-rolling flood of socisty in America, nobody's children are secure against going in their turn to the bottom. If they can neither swim or wade they must drown. Boys should be educated to use their eves and hands in the expectation that they may some day depend wholly on them for support. The Work of One Mechanic. What vast results may flow from the patient, persevering industry of one hum ble mechanic, has seldom received a more forcible demonstration than in a book now before the public in a new edition. How th oroughly railways and locomotive en gines have revolutionized the laud traffic, transportation and travel of the whole civilized world within the last forty years need not be told, for it is within the knowledge of every one. Still there are considerable numbers who have no ade quate idea of the tremendous magnitude of that revolution. It U but thirty-eight years since the Liverpool and Manches ter railway was opened, by a trial trip, with the first rude attempt at a locomo tive for passenger travel, and yet there are now not less than a hundred thous and miles of railway track ia operation. Of this enormous length of iroa roadway the United States possess a greatly larger proportion than any other country, : great indeed as nearly all others com bined But the statistics of the English roads furnish the readiest means for po pular illustration of the vast change, and the immense increase ia transportation and travel within the period named. In 18GG there ware in Great Britain he tween thirteen and fourteen thousand miles of railway, requiring 3,125 locomo tives, 19,22S, passenger carriages, and 242,947 burden c?rs and trucks, for mov ing goods and merchandise, and all that we gaining ground as a steady, intelligent, industrious and temperate workman. Dcforo he was of ago he occupied a high er rank than his poor father. Not satis fied with his meairre waives he made at his regular employment at the mine, be made himself handy at other kinds of work, and in the intervals of his mining duty ho mended the shoes of his com rades and their families. He then got to makiug shoes, and soon learned to make them well. His own clock having been damaged by accident, he took it to pieces aud repaired it, and then added advancing workman.-- clock and watch cleaning and repairing to his other resources. He even cut out- the clothes of his fellow workmen, and when all other moans of doing 'extra work' failed, he put in his spare moments by unloading ballast from vessels that had come for ccal. This gave him money for school, for books and for tools and while he was carrvine on his studies of the steam engine, modeling machines and contrivances of hi3 own. and n grade and character as a pumping engine in the neighborhood having failed for a whole year to keep the mine clear of water, he expressed his belief that ha could set it all right in a week, and hi3 ratientlv acouircd know- edge of the machine enabled him to do it. This was the most important stroke of his life, for it gave him acknowledged position a3 a mechanic, and his services were soon in demand throughout the' whole district. Step by step he advanced, improving everything he touched, econ-' omising the labor of men and horses, in- creasing the amount cf their productronr until at last he undertook and accomplish ed the work that he had so often tried? and that had so often failed, of superced ing horsepowcr3 on the colliery railways,, by inventing a locomotive engine that would draw a heavy train over a smooth? rail. The mighty results of that improve ment we see around us every day, but it may be a profitable lesson to trace back once more to that patient, observant, am bitious and indomitably industrious boyr watching his rude engine and studying his alphabet when he was nearly a man, grown. Thanksgiving Day. Harrisburg, Oct. 28.

Geary to set aionjr, kindly death has compassion on them. Every boy, no matter to what he as pires, should be taught while young the use not only of implements for the farm, tooh for the shop, the management of animals, etc., but he should be taught as well many parts of domestic economy. Every boy should know something about scicinj, cooking, and the management of a house. As autobiographies arc in fashion, I will insert a chapter of my own. When I was about eight or nine years eld I took care of a horse, a cow, and the pigs, split and brought in the wood, and did consi derable housework. The confinement of the district school was exceedingly dis tasteful to me. To sit for hours with a spelling book or a reader without an idea, forbidden to whisper, and made to drone or drudge, was so irksome that, when I was nine years old, I petitioned to stay at home. I was told that I should grow up ignorant and stupid. Very well, ignor ant and stupid I would be. No', think ing that I would agree to it, my mother said that I might stay at homo if I would do the housework. I jumped at the chance ! A long checked apron was mado for me. It was my duty to set the table to wait on others durmg meals, to clear off the things, shake the table-cloth, the dishe9, scour the kniveiiand forks, sweep up the carpet, dust the chairs and furni- ankruptj turc and, in short, to do the whole of a relating second girl's work. With such relish did I pursue my task that my mother could not withhold her commendation, though Bhe was always sparing of praise, these tasks I soon added the hemmin in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, made an important decision tho other day touching bankrupts.

In his constant inquiries on tho subject' he had heard of the new and superior engines of Boulton and Watt, and these stimulated his eager desiro to know all about steam machines. But none of the Watt engines were with in his reach, and he found that the only wav to tret a further knowledgo of them was by means of books. This was a great shock to him, for ho could not read. To master this difficulty was his first great task. Attending his engine tho whole of the day, he began to take lessons at a poor village school at tho rate of three pence a week. Studying his lesson at night, and looking at them aa opportunity offered during tho day, it took him two or three years to acquiro an ordinary knowledge of reading, writing aud ariih lactic.
