FOR SAFETY,
Trac,:!ers should select Boats provided real%
Evan's Safety G tia rds fur 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 ofprocuring the above appara
tus. And that every individual making such selee
tious is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all mop who understand the
principles of the Steam Engitn 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 all eady been lost, a suffi
cient War 11111,7,, and inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Boat, and in every cave to give it the
preference. They have went to an additional expense
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
is many cases superior, and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any ribk, 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, are supplied

HIS TORICCTS AND HIS SWEETHEART
Have you ever been in Windsor, Vermont! IT IA
you have beard of Josiah Baker, Indeed, you tisay
have beard of him, even though you have not been is
the State of Vermunq for he is well known in Beaton
as the greatest dealer in poulny in all New. England.
About Thanksgiving- time, you may see in all pare d'
Boston, Josiah Baker's wagons, literary cransined with
turkeys geese, chickens and docks, together with
pumpkins and squashes. and all manner of Tbsairsgiv
ing sauce. It was thought by some, if Josiah should
die without an heir to inherit his virtues and ;torpedo~
ate the stock of poultry, that Thanksgiving would have
to be abolished altogether in that region; for, as to lae •
ing thankful upon an empty stomach, it co uld not, is
the nature of things. be expected. In fact, they tried it
on one occasion. Josiah didn't die, to be sore, but
'twas just as bad for the time being, as you shall see.
Contrary to all usages, and probably for the eke d
doing somethinz wherewith to distinguish himself, the
Governor of Massachusetts appointed Thankagfringste
the same day which had been set apart for that puts
pose in Vermont. Now no real Yankee will ester abs
sent himself from his kindred on Thanksgiving 4iels,
not even fur gain; and Josiah, though a bachelor, was
ill the habit of having his blood relations to roamer*
ith him on that occasion; and you know that tha }tabs
its of an old bachelor Hre not easily broken upon, Be.
sides his worthy sister Hester wfuld bare felt herself
scandalized indeed, if she were denied the privilege of
bustling and scolding, and storming about as usual, in
the hurry of preparation for the joyous festival. Not
that she was M-natured, or given to scolding oncterort
dinary eircumstanecs—far from it; but there is a time
for everything. Then Josiah's numerous relatives,
(and you've no idea, unless you've been there, how
numerous one's relatives are in that country,) who were
always expected to partake of the luxuries of his fart
yard, and to devour, with an appetite 'which &ll:n=4P
ly returns but once a year, Miss Hester's puddings,
pies, tarts. &c., would have felt anything but thaukftd
if Josiah had gone to Boston, instead of keeping.
Thanksgiving of home. Bathe had no idea of such
thing.
He could Zl3 w.• 11 afford to keep his turkeys as the
Boston folks could do without 'em and he'd teach Gun.
crnor Lincoln to appoint the same day as the Govesmot
of VcrmoaL So Josiah kept Thanksgiving, as in time
thou.-th Ids heart was not as ligEt as usual, fat; be
pi:ied the Boston folks, and could not help saying now
sad then, as he cut a slice of turkey, —Governor Lim,
ruin ought to have known better."
But there was this drawback sport his happiness, it
v. as a trifle compared with the consternation of the Bass
tun people. His old customer;, who had for fifteen ot
twenty years relied upon him fur supplies, magi had
never once been disappointed, could not believe distills
would fail to appear now, and even the day preceding
Thanksgiving, refused to put chase of others andsr the
full conviction that be would come though at the elev . . ,
en h hour. But, alas, be came not; and for the first
time in their lives, and 1 hope the last, many of the
good citizens were obliged to forego the luxury of Is
roast turkey, and dine upon roast beef; and, instead ot
being thaul:fill, they did nothing but eat and drink, and
grumble. But there is no calamity, however great,
from which good may nut be extracted.
This unhappy event led the good people to reflect
upon what might be the consequence if Josiah should,
he removed by death, leaving no issue to keep up the
~ , toelt of turkey;; and as life is uncertain, even in Vell•
Enoct, they sat about devising means of averting so se.
rious an evil. Accordingly, Josiah began to receive
letters ad‘i.ing. him to marry; disinterestedly pointing
out to him tb' cheerfulness of his present mode eflifet
and hinting also that if he should die childless, Thanks,
giving would be broken up. Now the subject of mat•
rim:my had never entered Josiah's head. His maiden
sister attended to his house—darned his srockings foe
Sunday—washed his neck and ears for him of a Satan
day night—and combed his hair in more ways than
one. In short, he couldn't see what more a woman
could do. However, the subject bad got into his mind,
and it was nut easy to get it out again. It was con.
stantly before him. He could not even sleep in meets
ing, but was constantly looking about, and observing
how nice and chirk the young women looked. Finally
he concluded to open his mind to his sister and ask bet
advice.
After weighing the matter thoroughly, and mourn.
ing over the prospect of laying down the sceptre, she
advised him (with magnaminity which none but a SiP
ter could exhibit) ta comply with the suggestions of
his friends-and Mary stated that she was willing to
region her authority to another for the sake of promos
ting his Inippincas; but in order to secure the latter,
she must make the match herself, at least so far as to
point out a proper person for him to court. This was
a great rein - fto him, but ho would have been better
pleased if she could have settled the whole matter; for
he had a great horror of entountering one of the sex
face to face, having never been in company with any
but his own relations. However, his sister, who was
in the habit of gossippino, in the intermission with all
the women that came to meeting, soon made choice ot
a wife for her brother, in the person of Sally Japecti.
who lived but a couple of miles from his farm yard.--
She was (as she told Josiah) of a rugged make, thick
set, wholesome looking. and as smart as a steel trap---..-
So it was agreed upon that on Sunday night, Jo
siah should commence his conrtship. Acrordingly,afs.

going in; but although there was a light in the sitting

horse was tied securely, he finally made a desperate
