'Forking thr Grindstone.-—“ When I
was a little boy,’’ says Dr, Franklin, “I re
member one cold winter's morning I was ac
costed by a smiling man with an axe on his
shoulder s “My prelly boy,” said he, "has
your father a grindstone 1" “Yes, sir,” said
1. “You are a fine little fellow,” said he,
“will you let me grind my axe on ill”
Pleased with the compliment of “fine little
fellow,” “O, yes,” I answered, “it is down
intheshop,’’ “And will you, my man,” said
he, patting me on the head, “get a little hot*
water 1” Could I refuse? I ran and soon
brought a kettle full. “How old are you, and
what’s your name?” continued he, without
wailing for a replyl am sure you are one
of the finest little fellows that I ever saw—will
you just turn a few minutes for me?” Tickled
at the flattery, like a 'fool I went to work, and
bitterly did I rue the day. It was a new axe,
and I toiled and tugged till I was almost tired
to death. The school bell rung, and I could
not get away : my hands were blistered, the
axe was sharpened, and the man turned to me
with, “Now, vou little rascal, you’ve played
truant; scud for school, or you’ll rue it.”
Alas! thought I, it is hard enough to turn a
grindstone ibis cold day, but to be
little rascal was Inn much. It sunk deep in
my mind and often have 1 thought of it
since. When 1 see a merchant over-polite to
his customers, begging them to lake a little
btands, nnd throwing his goods on the coun
ter, thinks I that man has an axe to grind.
When ! seea man flattering the people,
making great professions of a’tachmenl to
liberty, who is in private life a tyrant, me
thinks look out, good people, that fellow
would set you turning a grindstone. When
I see a man hoisted into office by a party
spirit, without a single qualification to render
him respectable or useful, alas! tnelhinks,
deluded people, you are doomed for a season
to turn the grindstone for a booby.
Wo know a beautiful little blue-eyed girl,
of some three years old, who was nestled in
her mother’s arms, at twilight, looking nut at
the stars. “.Mother,” said she, “it is gellins
dark.” “And what makes it dark, Carrie?”
said her mother. “Because God shuts his
e\es!” replied the little poet.

THE PUBLIC.—As there are many Gift Book

it just to himself add his duty to the public—inasmuch as he
originated thd Gift Book business—to state, as evidence of
the instability of such concerns, that they conceal their real
names from the public, and are advertising their business un
der assumed ones. Mr. E. is aware that these various con
cerns published as Gift Book Stores, are calculated to bring
the business established by himself into disrepute. He asks
of the public a correct judgment in regard to his Gift Book

refers to all the prominent publishers iu the United States.

ation it was soon employed in Europe. In process
of time this medicine has come into general use,
and is highly spoken of by the best medical writers.
Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of
the urinary organs, such as gravel, a morbid irrila
lion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine,
also incontinence of urine from want of tone in the
urinary organs. It cools (he unnatural heat and
relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing

pie of this medicine is a volatile oil which is mostly

great care and skilful management to prepare this

Charles O. Etz of Tioga
Village would respectiully calllhe attention of the
public to the following advertisement. “Man wan’s
but little here below nor wants that little long” is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extents
But it seems to me that in this lime of general
suspension and panic, everything is tending to a
reversion of time-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a little more still. The farmers (and thoy
really ought to have as much as anybody, for they
are to our country what a main spring is to a watch,)
wants a little more for their wheat, buckwheat, rye,
corn, oats, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a
little more for his Flour, Pork, Salt, Dry Goods,
Boots & Shoes, Hals & Caps, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand little things be has to sell than
the farmer thinks he ought to pay.
At this present time it seems to be concede d by
all that the cash" value of good wheat is $i per
bushel; buckwheat, 2 to 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4-6;
oats, 2 to 2-6; butter, 14 to 16 cents. Now to
equalize the mailer and make it satisfactory on both
sides, I want and wilt agree to take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 20 shillings per bush,

HERRING’S SAFE.

Reading
‘•On the 26th of February all the members of the comyitte©
met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in
them) and were perfectly satisfied that all was right. The
day following, the burning took place, under the superintend
ence of the Committee. After a fair and impartial burning
for five hours, the Safe of Messrs Evans k Watson was first
opened, the Safe being on fire inside, and the contents par
tially consumed, while the contents in the Safe of Messrs
Farrela k Herring were in good condition, and no fire inside.”

The above Safes can be inspected at 34 Walnut Street, where
the public can satisfy themselves of the great superiority of
the “Herrings Patent Champion,” over the defeated and
used-up “inside Iron Door Salamander.”

Tito attempt made by other parties to bolster up the repu
tation of a Safe which has failed so signally in accidental
fires in Philadelphia, (Ranstead Place,) by taking one ont of
an agent’s store, (H. A. Lantz,) made double thickness, (differ
ent from those they sell) to “burn up” one of Herring’s, (half
as thick) bos met with its true reward. Herring’s Safe could
not bo burnt, proving couclusively that the only reliable
Safe now made is “Herring’s” of which over 15,000 are now
in actual use, and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend
the Burning of the Iron Safety at Readings Feb .
27,1857. : j
“The undersigned, members of the committee, do
respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes origi
nally agreed upon by Farrels(& Herring and Evans
& Watson, placed side byj side in a furnace, viz:
The Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company, in liis office
at Reading, manufactured by Parrels do Herring,
and the safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans &i\yatson,and palin books
and papers precisely alike., |
The fire was started at 8} o'clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords
dry oak and half chestnut jtop wood were entirely
consumed, the whole under the superintendence of
the subscribers, members pfj the Committee. The
Safes were then cooled offi with water, after which
they were opened and the; books and papers taken
out by the Committee and sent to H. A. Lantz's
store for public examination, after they were first
examined and marked by (the Committee. The
books and papers taken fromjtbe Safe manufactured
by Evans & Watson were but slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by Parrels Atj Herring, were in our
judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans &. Watson's Safe.
We believe the above to, have been a fair and im*
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.
