IriG that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The public may rest assured that all articles offered at
his store are maufactured from FRESH GOODS, pur
elsesed in the Eastern markets this spring and made in
to garments by Pitusburgh workmen.
In consequence of the multiplication of slop shops in
our city, filed with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
cast off garments of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char
med:tithe establishments in which they are invited to
perobase, before they part with their money. The arti
cles 'offered at several of the concerns in this city, are
the more offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
;shops, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pitts
beret public. Purchasers should be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fact
shame establishment that advertises eastern made Clo
thing, can give as good an article ores advantageous
bargaine as can be had at the "Thrce Big Doors. "
Daspablicsstill please remember that all the subscri
heesgarments are made in this city, by competent work
smog and Dot gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage from the shreds and patches of
aeraern slop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
gain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"

FOE SAFETY,
Travellers should select Boats provided withl
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers.
IT would be well for the traveling community to '
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that have or
may be at the expense of procuring the above appara
tus. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam - Engine, to be a sure preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thousands of lives that have already been lost, a suffi
cient warning, and inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Boat, and in every case to give it the
irrefetince. They have went so on- wiriitiomei-erpewse
that your lives may be secure. Ought you not therefore
to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of
hu
man life. They do not charge more than other boats;
their accommodations in other respects are equal, and
in many cases superior; and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.
All boats marked thus ['] in the List of Arrivals and
Departures, in another part of this paper, aro supplied
with the Safety Guard.

WHERE joy but works some other's wo.
Each good some other's ill,
And poverty is drained, the cup
That overflows to fill:
Where gold a willing servant final
In each—in most. a slave;
And law the just and righteous cause
Can insolently brava:
Where dungeons unadmonished gnat
In double darkness bind.
Or from the body loose the chain,
To brutalize the mind:
Where man is trained to murder matt'
And art destruction schools,
Tu multiply the work of death,
By scientific rules:
Where e'en each gracious element
That heaven or earth supplies,
We teach by knowledge better hid
Against ourselves to rise:
This is that boasted thing that meat
The 'social-compact' term;
Of folly, vice and misery,
The forced but fatal germ.
This to the Italian's crooked code
An air of truth supplied.
And planned for knaves the rich revrarai
To better men denied•
This to Geneva's madman lent
His triumph o'er the sage,
And half redeemed the bitter sneer
Of Swift's indignant par.
Oh! warned by wo, and taught by time
Shall Reason, full of years,
O'er brutes but boast her sole and . sad
Prerogative of tears?
Oh! when will man each boon desprlsal
That makes a brother moan?
And seek, where it alone resides,
In others' bliss, their own?

Afar on the upland, or under the tree,

But I sit in the sunshine to ‘vatch you atplay,
And a kindlier current cloth run through each vein

I rejoice in your sports, in the warm summer weal:het i
While, hand locked in hand, ye are striving together!
But I see what ye see not; the sorroweand strife
Of the years that will come in the contest of life.
For I am an old man, and age looketh on
To the time that will be, from the time that iseanel
But you, blessed creatures! vou think not of sorrow,
Your joy is to-day, and ve have no to-morrow!
Ay, sport ye, and wrestlie—be glad as the sun,
And lie down to:rest when your pastime is don
For your dreams arc of sunshine, of blossom and clew,
And the 'God of the Blessed' doth watch over you
While the angels of heaven are missioned to keep
Unbroken the calm of your innocent sleep;
And an old man's blessin g doth o'er you dwell;
The whole day long: and so fare ye well!
THE BARNEGAT WRECKERS
A correspondent of the Philadelphia American Sere
tined, writing from Barnegat, N. J. gives the following
illustrations of the "fair business transactions" of that
renowned neighborhood:"
When a vessel was wrecked at night and any portion
of her cargo floated ashore, it was instantly seized up
on by persons who were constantly on the watch for
plunder, and carried off in the interior or buried in the
sand. So expert in their cursed trade did these fellows
become at last, that five minutes after a box or bale
would land, no traces could be found. Sometime*
when kegs of butter or lard were east upon or carried to
the shore, a parcel of men would surround one, and
while pretending tube earnestly in conversation, a con
federate would creep in, and either bury the keg, in the
sand or knock off the head, scrape out the contents to
the depth of three or four inches, and fill up the vacancy
with sand. This done, the party would quietly dia.
perse, and at night the keg ,f sand would be removed.
A vessel came ashore one day. heavily laden with an
assorted cargo. A deputation of wreckers immediately
boarded the unfortunate craft, mad having first politely
informed the captain that his ship would go to peices
before the next morning, stated that for three-eighTh.s of
the cargo, and no less, they would remove all the goods
to the shore in safety. This looked extremely likes
dead-shave, but the master seeing no alternative ' was
obliged to embrace the offer.—lnstanter every boat in
the neighborhood was put into requisition, and before
night the whole of the cargo was landed on the beach.
and divided into two lots, three-eights, the_'
share of the spoil being placed in one spot, and the cap
; tains portion close by. After all this had been done,
word was sent to the master, that the wreckers batipat
a watch upon their portion of the property, and ree.crotr
mending him to do the same with his. This suggestion
was acted upon: the mate of the vessel, a prudent, ND.
Bible man, and withal a signer of the temperance
Ipledge, though not a tee-totaler, being deputed to per
form the duty. Now among the cargo were several bar
rels of prime ale, and these the wreckers determined
should serve them in their purpose. Accordingly a bar
rel was tapped and its contents freely taken of by all
hands, but, before the mug containing the beverage wee
handed to the mate, it was deeply drugged with 'wea
-1 anum. The result may be anticipated. The second
officer fell asleep at his post, and when the teornin'
broke, no part of the captain's portion of the cargo was
i visible, while the wreckers' portion, hardly twenty feet
distant from where the other had lain, was untouched,

The wreckers boarded her, and speedily conveyed her

this arrangement being made, the captain was waited
