Any person acquainted with the superior points of the Celebrated MITCHELL WAGON, Which I am now selling, will certify to my statement that they are the VERY BEST Farm Wagon made. They are in crprirral use now in nearlv everv country on the face of the globe, and are adapted to every variety of climate. It is ac knowledged by all to be the best proportioned, best ironed, best finished, and lightest running wagon made. I present a few facts that should be read by every farmer, about the Mitch ell Wagons : 1st. Great care is taken in selecting only the best timber that grows, which is cnt at the proper season of the year and piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned. 2. The thimble skeins are much heavier than any other skeins in use and are, therefore, less liable to break. 3. The hubs are dodge-mortised, which makes the strongest and most durable wheel that can be constructed. 4. The patent box-coupling, used only by this Company, prevents the wearing and weakening of the axle. 5. The MITCHELL WAGON stands to-day at the head and front of all competitors, and is known far and wide as the strongest and most durable, unequaled m quality and finish, and "monarch" of the road wherever known and used.

You little guess the lonesomenest that's com ing o'er my life, When en you have left the farm and me to be! Will Johnson's wife : ! But I suppose my mother felt just so, when from ber side, Your father came one summer Jay to carry home his bride. Ah, me ! how happy hal 1 been if Provi dence bad spared My good old man to see this day, and all ' my feeling shared ; But, thee, I would not bring him back, not even if I might, Nor change one crook that's in my lot, for what God does is right But as I sit alone and think, I see some things Id change ; I might bare made him happier; then do not think it strange If I should speak some warning words to ?ave yon, if I may. From making thoughtless, sad mistakes, to bring clouds o'er your way. So just remember, Hannah, dear, that. though you're pretty bright. It may be very possible yon'll not be always right; Perhaps when you are fretting oer some other body's sin. You'll find that the fault was all your own if yoa would look within. As when we washed the window panes to gether face to face. So that the smallest spot or stain wonld find no rating place- You would insist, however, hard to make you see I tried. That every spot was mv fault when 'twas really on your side. And, Hannah, oh ! be uuicnt if yoa find Will sometimes slow. Your wits Bash out like lightning streaks. as swift tc come and go ; Now, lightning is a handy thing in stormy nights, 'tis true, ' But after all a sta.-iv shine is kind o' useful too. And if there's any difference comes 'twixt your good man and you, Don't s:op to ask whose fault it is; the only way to do Is just to take the thing in hand and try with all your might. Before it grows too big to change, to fix it up all right. You know the donnh. when first 'tis set, is molded as we will, But when 'tis baked, we cannot change its shape for good or ill ; So now, when you are starting out in your new home, is just The time to see what ways you'll set to harden into cnut. But, dear, you'll not succeed alone, no mat ter how you try ; You'll have to go down on yonr knees and ask help from on high. We soap ana rub, and boil and rinse, but af ter all, yoa know. It takes heaven's son to make the clothes as white as new fall'o snow. ATOM I'KNSATIOX. It was one of tLe loveliest ol Sep- teinber days. Clear and glittering, like the ribbon of silver, the river wound at the foot of velvet banks. and through fern carpeted dells. where rustic bridges spanned its shining surface, and art was suffi ciently cultivated to allow nature to remain undisturbed. In fact as Mrs Mountjoy herself ccniplateutlj re marked, it would be impossible to have had a finer day for her croquet breakfast, if the whole year had been sought through for it The grounds were full of superbly dressed saunierers. Some few ofthe younger and more enthusiastic de voted themselves to the theory and practice of hall and mallet some danced ia the pavillion whose bright striped awninit fluttered in the biteze and horns and violins made a merry refrain some flirted ia the hidden gloaoa of overhanging beech boughs, and some Bat on rustic benches and talked of tbe beauties of nature. Mrs. Severance, however, was more practical than some ofthe oth ers. She had seated herself in a shady nook and was languidly par taking of iced champagne, pates de foie gras.and lobster salad, with her boy a handsome, haughty little fel low of S or 9, in a velvet suit and buttons of gold. "It is so crowded in the breakfast tent," she said, elevating her black brows. "One couldn't think of eat ing there ! Claude, dear, will you have a little more wine or a bit id the boned turkey ? Keally, darling you have no appetite at all." "Tlie oyster patties are quite god dear Mrs Severance," said Mrs. Mountjov, obsequiously. Mrs. Sev erence, be it known was the great lady of the occasion. "Can't I per suade you to try one ?" "Say yes, mamma," clamored Master Claude, whose appetite ap parently grew by what it fedjon. " I want an oyster patty, mamma !" And the waiter was accordingly dispatched for the last named dainty. Ashe disappeared under the shad ow of the trees a dark-faced woman, with great gilt hoops in her ears and an outlandish fonign drest, came up a mandolin in her arms, and a tat tered, big-eyed child following close at her heels. .. ....... "Kind lady, good lady she began, in the high pitched, monotonous tone of her trade, "let roe play you a bar.and Carita shall dance. Come, Carita!" At these words the child began to sunn? about like a small human erasshopper. the woman twanged away at her tuneless instrument, and Mrs. Mountjoy looked indignantly around. "Where did these creatures come from ?"she demanded. "How could they possibly have come in wnen there is a policeman stationed at the gate ? Saunders." to a servant, "put tnem out at once." The woman began loudly to bee, whine and remonstrate; the little girl with tbe big eyes stopped danc ing; and scudded behind her mother's tattered skirts. Mrs. Severance drew her pearl-colored moire dress closer to her, as if there was polution in tbe very atmosphere, and Master Claude suddenly cried out : "She's stole ma's embroidered handkerchiei and scent bottle. Look, Look ! its right under her shawl 1" The woman turned suddenly around: j "I did not steal it !" said she. "I'm no thief! I never knew when 1 4 ESTABLISHED 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.

"A likely story," said Mrs. Sever- j No earthly inducement can persuade ance. scornfully : "Mrs. Mountioy I me to marry roar son." will you be kind enough to summon one of those policemen you speak about I really think it is my duty to give this person in custody." 1. wildly together. iou renot in earnest, ma am. she cried, looking nervously around "You wouldn't shut me up in prison and leave my little one to starve in the streets. Yof're a mother your self, pretty lady, and you've a moth er's heart in your bosom. I am not a thief. I wouldn't lay hands on what isn't my own, not if it was coined gold and precious stones ! Please let me go my way, lady." "By no meaa3," said Mrs. Sever ance, with the prim, severe compla cency of Virtue's eelf. "Officer," to the minion of the law, who had by ths time arrived on the scene of ac tion, "there is your prisoner! I lodge an accusation against her for thett." There was a cry, a tumult a mo mentary gathering of gayly attired spectators about tue green and shad owy dell, and the next moment all had once more settled into its wont ed quiet. While, along the hot and duty Boulevard leading to the suburbs of the great city, the foreign woman sulkily followed the officer, and lit tle Carita, running to keep pace with their strides, pulled at her mother's dress and wailed out: "Mamma, mamma! Where are we going mamma ? What are they go ing to do with you, mamma.'' "Yes, that is the name. I remem ber it very well Claude Severance." Fifteen years had passed away since that little incident at airs. Mountjoy's croquet breakfast, and Signonna Carita Venoni, in her rose lined boudoir, was languidly looking over the bouquets, cards and pres ents which bad rained down upon the stage of the Italian opera, the evening before. One glittered richer rarer than ail others a diamond cross, set witn stones ol tne purest water, with a scented card affixed to it, bearing thue words : " When you wear this at your peerless throat, queen of love and beauty, know that you also wear the heart of Claude Severance with it." SignorinaSJarita smiled and lifted her pretty brows. She was dark and brilliant, with large liquid eyes, like those of a gazelle, hair black as the blackest plumes of the raven's wing, and full red lips, like the heart of a tropic rose a beauty a prima don na a capricious, spoiled darling of the public "1 remember it," said Carita to herself, leaniug her "chin on her two hands and looking thoughtfully in to space. "I hive cause to remem ber it Oh, mother ! my mother !" And to the astonishment of M. Gadeur, the manager, and Madame Sivond, the prima donna's compan ion, Signorint, Carita burst into a psssion of hysterical weeping. Madame Sivond, a motherly old soul, with stiff white curls and lit tle shining black eyes, like beads, came close to her. "My dear, what is the matter? What can possibly ail you ?" ques tioned she. "Nothing, nothing," cried Carita, laughing through the great drops that rained over her cheeks. "But look at this diamond cross, madame, See how it glitters. I have a new slave at my feet, it appears. Claude Severance, the name is. Get me broad band of velvet to affix this to. I'll bang it around my neck and wear it to night in 'Donna Anna.' He shall see that his princely offer ing finds favor in my eyes." "But, my dear boy, it is quite im possible entirely impossible, you know, for an opera singer to refuse to become your wife ! Upon my word, I should like to know what the girl expects !" Claude Severance looked moodily at hw mother. He had grown into a tall.handeome man, with the arro gant, imperious beauty of an Apol lo. "I th.n't kLOw what she expects," said he sullenly, "but I can tell you what you may expect, mother, since she won't marry me ; to have me leave the country forever. I may as well bury tryseif alive out ia Africa orSvria.cr some of those far off places, as to live on here without the only thing that makes life worth having !" Mrs. Severance wrung her jeweled hands. "Oh, Claude! Claude! don't talk so ! Haven't you tried me enough already, with your gambling, and your debts, and all your undutiful behaior, without this ?" "Now, don't get up a scene, moth er," retorted the hopeful son. "I've heard just about enough preaching. Carita Venoni is the only earthly thing I care about, and she she laughs in my face when I tell her how wretched I am ! Mother, what difference does it make what be comes of me now? I'd put a bullet through mv brains for sixpence, I believe, and consider it a good job !" "Claude," said his mother, pite ously, "you haven't been earnest enough about this matter." "Have I not?" he muttered be tween his teeth. "Let me go to this Signorina Ven oni let me plead your cause for you. Believe me it will be a success. 1 can Epeak to her as one woman to another. Oh, Claude, she cannot re fuse the prayers of a mother ! You shall be happy, my eon, if I go to this haughty beauty on my very knees." Signorina Venoni was in her bou-j doir, dressed in glistening lemon-colored silk, with ropes of pearls twisted around her neck, and great pearl pendants swinging from her ears lovely as a Circassian queen .smiling as an enchantress when Mrs. Sev erance was shown in. Vith piteous entreaty the mother told ber tale. "Mgnonna," she concluded, "his life is in your hands and mine also. Have mercy upon us both! It you will become his wife, 1 have faith to believe that he will become a differ ent man ; if you refuse H I be bignonna enom rose up! with a light careless laugh. "Then why have you lured him ' on ?" burst out the mother. "Because," Carita answered, "I I wished to be revenged ! Mrs. Sever- . T I - 1 .V . V . as dear to me s your eon is to you dearer, perhaps, for she was all I had, while you have wealth, rank, hosts of friends. Your hands con signed her to a prison tomb. I was but a child st the time, but we Southerners develop earlier than the children of a colder clime and at her gTave I vowed to be avenged. To-dav I fulfill my vow !'' And then, with a marvelous accu racy of memory, she recalled to Mrs. Severance the September day when all the fashionable world rallied around Mrs. Mountjoy's croquet breakfast the dark-eyed foreign woman, with the little dancing child the pitiful cry for mercy, the quickly-pronounced doom. "There is a compensation in the world, Mrs. Severance," she added with a smile cold and mocking as the glitter of Northern lights ; "and my poor heart-broken mother can rest quietly now in her grave." I Claude Severance sailed for the East the next dav, and his mother never saw his face again. Backing ana Gagging. "It was during the "Seven Days' Struggle in the lUierness, said Colonel Taylor to the Lafayette (In diana) Courier, "just after the bat tle of Spottsylvania. My regiment the Twentieth Indiana had made a long march that day, and we had come to a halt in the evening on the edge ofthe woods, bv the roadwav. It was not at all certain that we would remain there longer than a very few moments. I told the men to make their colfee and get what ever rest and reiresnments tney could snatch iu that brief time. The guard had been instructed to let no one on horseback through the lines, as it was the h ibit of stray artillery men, cavalrymen mid mounted or derlies to come dashing through the camps wheEever they could save time byFo doing. I had but just seated myself near tbt- roadway, when a rider in an c-ld blouse and slouched hat, with a cigar in his jmoutt i, rode up. As l.e passed the guard, tut latter turutu aiiu paiuieu him. J shouted to the gard : "Whac were vour orders?"' "Not to let any one on horseback pas the line.' Then what the devil did you let this fellow pass through for?" "He is an officer. Colonel " "Officer, ! He's a nice sort of &n officer, ain't be ?" "Then turniog to the intruder I said : You are an officer, are you ? Well, don't you know better than to ride through a camp of tired and weary soldiers like these are, splash ing them with mud, and forcing them to get out of your way? I've a good mind to buck and gag you and tie you to that tree. Get out of here you scoundrel!" "The horseman made no reply; only looking at me and smiled. I was incensed at his independence and fired another volley at him, when he passed on. The Colonel of the Thirteenth Maine regiment was sitting on a log near by laughing fit to kill. I asked him what he was laughing at 'Don't yoa know who that was?' he asked. 'No, I don't care a continental.' 'It was Gener al Grant' I thought that he was playing me and wouldn't believe him. General Grant rode on to Gen eral Birney's headquarters. Gener al Birney was our division comman der. 'Birney,' he askel, 'what regi ment is that just down the road there,' indicating with his finger. 'The old Twentieth Indiana. 'Who is that boy in command?' 'That's no boy, that is Colonel Taylor. 'Weil, he was going to buck and gag me just now,' Then alter a pause, 'He knows how to take care of his men.'and rode on. Birney told me of the conversation shortly af terward. The next time that I met Grant at close quarters was in La fayette, at Mr. Orth's house, after the war. As I entered tfl pay my respects Governor Morton introdu ced me. 'General Grant, this is one of my soldiers. Colonel Taylor, of the Twentieth Indiana.' A smile passed over the General's face as he extended his hand and said, 'I have met Colonel Taylor before.I believe. 'Once before, General,' I replied, and passed on, that is all there was ti it, but the boys never tired of, twitting me about arresting General Grant" IMst orbed the 1'race. "George Schmidt, yoa disturbed the peace.' Vhell, I like to know how dat vhaa?" ' "Yon were making a great noise on a public street" "I vhas calling my dog, shudge. If I call him in a whisper he doan' come to me." "Officer how was it ?" "Oxcuse me, shudge, but my dog vhas halt a mile avay, und if I doan whoop, how shall be know I like to see him?"

The following from the pen of Bill Nye, in the Chattanooga Time, The American Architect and Build ing Xetcs thinks.contains more truth than fiction : It may be premature, perhaps, but I desire to suegest to any one who may be contemplating the erec tion of a summer residence for me, as a slight testimonial of his high regard for my sterling worth and symmetrical escutcheon a tes timonial more suggestive of earnest admiration and warm personal friendship than of great intrinsic j various delays occurred which pre value, etc. that I hope he will not f vented effect beinz given to this in- construct it on the modern plan of mental hallucination and morbid delirium peculiar to recent architec ture. Of course a man ought not to look a gift house in the gable end, but if my friends don't kuow me any better than to build me a sum mer house, and throw in odd win dows that nobody else wanted, and then daub it up with colors thev have bought at auction, and ap plied to the house after dark with a shotgun, I think it is time that we had a better understanding. Such a structure does not come within either ol the three clas ses of Renaissance. It is neither Florentine, Roman, nor Venetian. Any man can originate a style of architecture if he will drink the right kind of whisky long enough, and then describe his feelings to an amanuensis. Imagine the sensa tion that one of these modern, saw-ed-off cottages would create a hun dred years from now, if it should survive. But that is impossible. The only cheering feature of the whole matter is that these creatures of a disordered imagination must soon pass away, and the bright sun light of bard horse-sense shine in through the shattered dormers and eables of gnawed off architecture of the average summer resort A friend ol mine, a few days ago, showed me his new houte with much pride. He asked me what I thought of it. I told him I liked it first rate. Then I went home and wept all night It was ray first falsehood. The house taken as a whole look ed to me like a skating rink that had started out to make money, and then suddenly changed its mind, and resolved to become a tannery. Then ten feet higher it had lost all self-respect and blossomed into a full brown "drunk and disorderly, surmounted bv the smoke stack of a foundry and with the bright fu ture of thirty days ahead with the chain gang. That's the way it look ed to me. The roofs were made of little odds and ends of misfit rafters and dis torted shingles that somebody had purchased at sheriffs sale, arid the rooms and stairs were giddy in the extreme. I went in and rambled amund among the cross-eyed stair caseh and other nightmares til! rea son tottered on her throne. Then I came Out and stood on the architec tural wart called the side porch, to get fresh air. This porch was pain ted a dull red, and it had wooden rosettes at the corner that looked like a brand new carbuncle on the nose of a social wreck. Further up on the demoralized lumber pile I saw now and then places where the workman s mind had wanderen.and he had nailed on his clapboards wrong side up. and tnen painted them with the Paris green that he had in ten ted to use on something else. It wai an odd-looking struc ture indeed. If my friend got all the materials for nothing . from people who had fragments of paint and lum ber left over after they failed, and then if the workmen constructed it nights for mental relaxation and in tellectual repose, without change, of course the scheme was a financial success, but architecturally the house is a gross violation of the sta tutes in such cases made and provi ded, and against the peace and dignity of the State. There is a look of extreme pover ty about the structure which a man might struggle for years to acquire and then taiL No one could look upon it without feeling a heartache for the man who built that bouse, and probably stiuggled on year af ter rear, building a little of it at a time as he could steal the lumber, ! getting a new workman each year, building a knob here and a protub erance there, putting in a three cor nered window at one point and a yellow tile or a ward of broken glass or other debris at another, patiently filing in around the ranch with any, old rubbish that other people had got through with and painting it as he went along, taking what was left in the bottom of the pot after bis neighbors had painted their bob sleds or their tree boxes littlo fav ore thankfully received and then surmounting the wholk pile with a potpourri of roof, a grand farewell incubus of bumps and hollows for the rain to wander through and seek out the different cells where the lunatics live who inhabit it I did tell my friend of one thing that I thought would improve the looks of bis house. He asked me eagerly what it could be. I said it would take a man of great courage to do it for him. He said he didn't care for that He would do it him self. If it only needed one thing.he would never rest until he had it whatever that might be. Then I told him that if he had a friend him that ii ne nao a menu that he could trust-who would i ,w ;r,t th one steal in there some night when the family were away, and scratch a match on the leg of his breeches, or on the breeches of any other gentle men that was present, and hold it where it would ignite the alleged honse. and then remain to aee that ----- . . . , i " riX. rret f with it, he would confer a great fav- or on one who would cheerfully re taliate in kind at call. , , .. fn i The motto of the proprietors of Dr. , enry Baxter's Mandrake Bitters is Henry "the greatest good to the greatest number, and so sell a large bottle of a valuable remedv for the small price of 25 cents, and warrant every bottle to give satisfaction or money , refunded.

About two years since we describ ed a system of air-driven tram cars which was then about to be adopted on the Caledonian road line of the London Street Tramway Company's system.

Send them to bed ai bed time and give them sound sleep, sound nerves, and sound con stitutions. Night air is bad. Ma larias are abroad, is there no kindly sun to dispel the noxious vapors and war upon the deadly ytnoms. Sleep in the upper stories, in the largest rooms in the house, and the best ventilated. Let a child havt ploy menu. It will not do for such to sit up till eleven or twelve o'clock the night before. Sleep till the eyes open ot their own accord. It is hard for a boy or girl to be called to dress and go about business when the Ur ed,sieepy and unrested eyes fell as if they were "full of sticks." Different persons require different amounts of sleep. Some want six hours, some seven, some nine.
