A few evenings since we saw a young man

crunk that he could not “navigate,” and had to
jit down perfectly' helpless as he, was in front

kttle of liquor nearly full, which must have

crank. lie was unable to say where he got it,
ud tome person kindly took it from him.
He question occurred to us; which of the
pro is the most despicable—the poor drunken
retch before us, or he who sold him the liquor !
So one can hesitate with the reply. It is bad
cough to sell to “moderate drinkers” as habit
tal tiplers call themselves, hut to sell to a
fcratard is away down among the lowest of
does. IVe saw the poor fellow an hour after

understand he has respectable connections, and

“the way of the transgressor is hard”;—
“Instances very frequently happen which viv
idly place before us the imperious duty of re
garding the wise laws of the Creator of the
Universe, and experience teaches us that “the
tray of the transgressor is hard.’’ We have a
short story to relate which is literally true in
every respect. Several years ago there lived in

down in’the Decalogue, “Honor thy father and

!» a '‘ -A- cricket club has recent
oracd at Condorsjaort. Down over
the river about half* mile South of Coudersport,
a beautiful spring brook comes tumbling down
the hill, and at one place falls perpendicularly
over a bed of rocks, forming a delightful cas
cade. It is on the farm of Judge Ross and is
in sight of the village. A poet has written a
description of a visit to it, in the Atlantic for
March, and the Journal thinks it might have
been Miss Caroline Chcesbro, who was in that
locality last Summer, fishing trout. No person
should ever visit Coudersport without visiting
the cascade. But here is tbe poem:
THE WATERFALL.
Down across the green and sunny meadow.
Where the grass hangs thick with glistening dew,
In the birch-wood's flickering light and shadow,
Where, between green leaves, the sun shines thro*
Plunging deeper in the wood's dark coolness.
Where the path grows rougher and more steep,
Where the trees stand thick in leafy fulness,
And the moss lies green in shadows deep;
Hark! the wind amid the tree-tops rushing
In a sudden gust along tbe hills !■—
No, —the leaves are still, —'tis water gushing
From some hidden haunt of mountain rills.
Upward through the rugged pathway struggling,
Loud and louder yet the music grows ;
Near and nearer still, tbe water's gurgling
Guides me where o’er moss-grown rocks it flows.
Breathless, for its welcome coolness thirsting,
On I haste, led by the rushing sound,
TUI upon ray fall sight sudden bursting,
Lo, the forest’s hidden treasure found!
Sec the gathered waters madly leaping.
Plunging from tbe rocks in headlong chase,
Boiling, eddying, whirling, downward sweeping
AU that meets them in their foaming race !
From the broken waters riaeth ever,
Fresh and cool, a soft and cloud-like spray!
And where through the bongbs slant sunbeams quiver,
On the mist the sudden rainbows play.
On a branch high o’er the torrent swinging
Sits a bird, with a joyful swelling throat j—•
Only to the eye and ear he’s singing;
Through the roar below I hear no note.
All tbe forest seems as if enchanted,
Seems to lie in wondrous stillness bound;
Hushed its voices, silenced and supplanted,
Interwoven with this ceaseless .sound.
Gazing on the whirl of waters meeting,
Dizzy with its rush, X stand and dream,
Till it almost seems my own heart's beating,
And no more the voice of mountaio-stroam.

publish from its columcs the following letter
from this county:
Hon. T. 11. Burrowes :—I have the plea
sure of reading your valuable Journal and am
highly pleased with its contents generally, but
more especially with the portion which recom
mends the visiting of schools. I have reason,
to fear, however, that this part of the school
duty is sadly neglected. I hear of whole dis
tricts that omit it entirely. The reading of the
Journal is also too much overlooked. Would
that every director, teacher and parent might
read and study it. There are valuable lessons
in it for all. •
Elk is a very small district, containing but
two schools: yet they are interesting. I visit
them regularly and encourage parents to do so,
all I can. One of the schools may be consid
ered a model. The exercises arc highly inter
esting :—ls(. The reading of a portion of the
Scriptures ; 2. Singing by the whole school; 3d.
The reading classes; 4th. Exercises on the
blackboard, in arithmetic and gramar, &c.—
Then comes a class of little boys and girls to
learn figures, and how to enumerate them, on
the blackboard. During all this, the teacher
faithfully explains every step and process, at
the same time asking the pupils the hows and
Then come the spelling classes, and
last of all, the singing again, the interest con
tinuing to the end.
My manner is to encourage them aIL alike,
by remarks suited as nearly as possible to the
capacities of the children, and by saying that
all who try are equally meritorious, according
to the motto : “He does well that tries.”

AVER’S SARSAPARILLA.
A compound remedy, in which we have labored to produce
the most effectual alterative that can he made. It Is a con
centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford
an affective antidote for ( the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed
to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by
those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow^itizcns. —
How completely this compound will do it has been proven
by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the
following complaint":—
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Erup
tive Diseases, Ulcers. Pimples, blotches. Tumors, Salt Rheum
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial
Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux. Debility,
Dysjwpsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's
Fire, and indeed the whole class of comphuhts arising from
impurity of the blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter of health,
when taken in the spring, to expel the font humors which
fester in the blood at that season of the year. Ily the timely
expulsion of them many ranfclingdfwrders are n/pped in the i
bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare them-!
selves from the endurance of fowl eruption* and ulcerous 1
sores, through which the system will stive to rid itself of
corruptions, if not assisted to do tins through the natural
channels of the body by an alterative medicine. C’eanso
out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities burst
ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins;
cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you
when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people en
joy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blot*!.—
Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabu
lum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Soon
er or later something must go wrong, and the great machi
nery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation, of ac
complishing these'ends, liut the world has been egregiously
deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone
has not all (he virtue that isceluimed for it, but more be
cause many preparations. protending to be concentrated ex
tracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During lato years the public have been misled by largo
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla
for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the
sick, for they not only contain little if any Sarsaparilla, but
often no curative properties whatever. Heuce, bitter and
painful disappointment has followed the use of the various
extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sar
saparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy a* shall rescue
the uame from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And
we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is in
tended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should bo judiciously ta
ken according to directions on the bottle.

TESTIMONIALS,
“Havinghad one of Grover & Baker’s Machines in
my family for nearly a year and a half, I take plea
sure in commending it as every way reliable for the
purpose for which it is designed—Family Sewing.”—
[Mrs. Joshua Lea-itt, wifo of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor
of A”. Y. Independent.
“ I confess myself delighted with your Sowing Ma
chine, which has been in my family for many months.
It bos always been ready fur duty, requiring no ad
justment, and is easily adapted to every variety of
family sewing, by simply changing the spools of
thread.”—[Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr.
Strickland, Editor of AT. Y. Christian Advocate.
“After trying several different good machines, I
preferred yours, on account of simplicity, and the per
fect case with which it is managed, as well as the
strength and durability of the seam. After long ex
perience, I feel competent to speak in this manner,
and to confidently recommend it for every variety of
family sewing,”—[Mrs. E. B. Spooner, wife of the Ed
itor of Brooklyn Star.
“ I have used a Grover and Baker Sewing Machine
for two years, and have found it adapted to all kinds
of family sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Gar
ments have been worn out without tbe giving way of
a stitch. The Machine is easily kept in order, and
easily used.”—[Mrs. A. B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Geo.
Whipple, Kcw York.
“Year Sewing Machine has been in use in my fam
ily the post two years, and the ladies request me to
give you their testimonials to its perfect adaptedness,
os well as labor-saving qualities in the performance of
family and household sewing.”—[Robert Boorman,
27cw York.
“ For several months we have used Grover & Ba

sion that every lady who desires her sewing beauti
fully and quickly done, would bo most fortunate in
possessing one of these reliable and indefatigable
* iron needle-women/ whose combined qualities of
beauty, strength, and simplicity, are invaluable.”—
[J. W. Morris, daughter of Gen, Geo. V. Morris, Edi
tor of Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., an
American gentleman now resident in Sydney, New
South Wales, dated January 12, 185 S :
“ I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which
there were over three thousand yards of sewing done
with one’of Grover & Baker’s Machines, and a single
seam of that has outstood all the double scams sewed
by sailors with a needle and twine.”
‘•lf Homer could bo culled up from bis murky
shades, ho would sing the advent of Grover and Baker
as a more benignant miracle of art than was ever
Vulcan’s smity. He would denounce midnight shirt
making as * the direful spring of woes unnumbered.”
—[Prof. North.
“ I take pleasure in saying, that the Grover & Ba
ker Sewing Machines have more than sustained my
expectation. After trying and returning others, I
have three of them in operation in my different places,
and, after four years’ trial, have no fault to find.”—
[J. H. Hammond. Senator of South Carolina,
“My wife has had one of Grover &, Baker's Family
Sewing Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it
is one of the be.-t labor-saving machines that has been
invented. I take much pleasure in recommending it
to the public.”—[J. G. Harris, Gov. of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful tiling, and puts everybody into an
excitement of good humor. Were I a Catholic, I
should insist upon Saints Grover & 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 Ma
chine can be adapted from the finest cambric to the
heaviest cassimcrc. It sows 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, Tcnn.
“It is speedy, very neat, and durable in its work;
is easily understood and kept in repair. I earnestly
recommend this Machine to all ray acquaintances and
others.”—[Mrs. M. A. Forrest, Memphis, Tcnn.
“We find this machine to work to our satisfaction,'
and with pleasure recommend it to the public, as we |
believe the Grover «fc Baker to be the best Sewing Ma
chioe in use,”—[Dear}* Brothers, Allisonia, Tenn.
“ If used exclusively fur family purposes, with or
dinary care, I will wager they will last one ‘three
score years and ten,’ and never get out of fix.”—[John
Erskinc, Nashville, Tcnn.
“I have had your machine for several weeks, and
am perfectly satisfied that the work it docs is the best
and most beautiful that ever was made,"—[Maggie
Aimison, Nashville, Tcnu.
“ I uso my machine upon coats, dressmaking, and
fine linen stitching, and the work is admirable—far
better than the best hand-sewing, or any other ma
chine I have ever seen.”—[Lucy B. Thomson, Nash
ville, Tcnn,
“ I find the work the strongest and most beautiful I
have ever seen, made either by hand or machine, and

Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
WHERE the above preparation is known, it is so well es
tnblisbod as an infallible Remedy for the care of—
Coughs, Colds, Sore Tbboat, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Spit
ting op Blood, Pain in toe Breast., Croup, Whooping Cough,
and every fonn of Pulmonary Complaint, that if were a work
of supererogation to speak of Us merits.
Discovered by a celebrated physician more than twenty
years since, it has by the wonderful cures it has effected been
constantly appreciating in public favor, until its use and its
use and its reputation are alike universal; and it is now well
known and cherished by all (and their “name is legion”) who
have been restored to health by its use as the Great Remedy
for alt tbe diseases which it professes to cure.
Sir James Clarke, physician to Queen Victoria, has given
it as his opinion that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED .
The whole history of this medicine fully confirms the opin
ion of that eminent man. Thousands can testify, and have
testified, that when-alt other remedies bad failed, this had
completely cured; that when the sufferer had well nigh des
paired, this bad afforded immedhuA relief; that when the
physician bad pronounced the disease incurable, this has re
moved it entirely.
The virtues of this Balsam are alike applicable to cure a
slight cold or a Confirmed Consumption, and its power os a
sale, certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy cannot be
equalled.
tfcß-CACTioxI Purchase none unless It has the written
signature of “I. Butts” on the wrapper, ns well as the print

HOW TO MAKE BETTER.
TTSE the New Machine invented by E. A. Smead,
VJ to operate your common Dash Churns, it can be
applied to any size. You can regulate the stroke to
any required length from two to fourteen inches, by
ibe adjustable wrist pin in the fly wheel by which mo
tion is imparted to the dash. A child can operate it
with ease. See that the Jurmtor’s name f* on the ma
chine before you pnrchn*e. Price, Fivfc Dollars.
This machine is tbo result of three years experi
ments. and has been pronounced by scientific men
to be perfect. I obtained a glass churn last year in.
which I could witness tho agitation produced by tho
different length stroke, this showed the advantage of
having the adjustable wrist pin, as the stroke must bo
in proportion to the amount of cream or milk to bo
churned. Letters Patent of the United States are
now pending, and all persons are cautioned not to in
fringe, It can only bo had of Smead & Tabor, at
Tioga.
/E-Sr* Persons wanting the above machines for the
coming season will please order soon, which will ena
ble us to supply at calk

KIRBY’S MOWER & READER
THE Subscriber is selling this valuable machine and
_invifes all who want a really good Mower and
Kcuper, to examine it before purchasing any other ma
chine. It is superior to all other Mowers and Reap
ers in use, inthefollowiDgsporticnlars: It is the light
est in use; is strong and durably; requires less draft
than any other machine;, has no side draft though it
cuts a wide swath; will work on rough ground wbero
no other machine can follow it; very difficult to bo
clogged in any hind of grass, be it wet or dry; is sim
ple in construction and not liable to get out of repair;
is a perfect combined machine; working equally well,
whether mowing or reaping: and is the CHEAPEST
in price, the Mower being only $lO5 and the combined
machine $l30 —making it altogether the most desirable
Mower and Reaper in market. Call at the Tin and
Store Store and examine for yourselves.
Reaper took the first prize at the State
Fairs of New Yorlk and Indiana against all competi
