' RIDING OS TIIE SNOW.
Ye gentlemen and ladies, who live in Southern
climes,
Dow little do yon think npon the joya of
sleighing times.
Tonr summer's hot as Tophet your winters
ott, yon know ; ,
So you never taste the pleasures of riding on
the snow.
The bracing winds of winter, you're never
made to feel,
When they penetrate the iorests, and o'er the
uicituuni ski
But long and weary lassitude oppress you as
For you're strangers to tho pleasures of riding
on me suvn.
Prom Summer's fiery ordeal, yon'ro glad to
find retreat,
While winter brings you nothing else than
water, inn J or sleet :
But here, in merry SlearSeld, 'tis not precise
ly SOt .
For we spend the live-long winr in riding on
the snow.
As soon as old king Boreas gets seated on his
throne.
Our lads begin to buckle up, and think of leav
ing home ;
But far from being selfish when they design
to eo.
They always take the ladies when they ride
upon the snow.
In spite of wind or weather regardless of the
- storm.
They swiftly glide o'er hill and vale, and fear
no ill or harm ;
Encircled in their buffaloes, defy the winds to
blow. -
And chatter to the ladies, when they ride up
on the snow. -
Our youth are true American, by nature or by
birth.
And when they go a sleighing they mean tpj
nave auuig muni ,
They take along the fiddler, the fiddle and the
bow -
A blythesoma time they make of it, when ri
ding on the snow. ,
The frolic is inspiring old gents get up their
back,
And pretty dames of ripened years in spirit
do not lack ;
They muffle up in furs and cloaks, and soon
forget their woe,
And, Jehu-like, they go it, when they ride up
on the snow.
To Curwensville they hie them on frolic they
are bent
And there indulge in all the sports the season
can invent;
The "Aborgoins" are thnnderstruck to see
them cut up so,
And vow there's inspiration In this riding on
the snow.
'Twas worth a hundred dollars of any hr.rnao
eear.
To see these antique juveniles thus biting o'er
with cheer;
The landlord a veteran of many years ag
Said he never saw such frolicking when ri
ding on the snow.
Tho fun is still increasing still higher runs
the glee,
Ambition is e'en excited to mingle in the
spree
They pluck their wigs they tear their coats
they "jump Jim Crow,"
Then mufQ'd in their buffaloes, ride home up
on the snow. '
Good-bye, young lads and lasses old gents
and dames, good-bye
We're posting on to that drear land where all
must shortly lie ;
'Midst all your youthful pastimes, remember,
(it's just so,)
That wisdom's ways are pleasantest, e'en ri
ding on the snow.
Clearfield, March 4, 1858. p.
LINES ON THE DEATH OF ELLIS GOFF.
BT A FBIEXD.
The grass will grow on Ellie's grave,
The snow will melt away,
The early flowers of spring will bloom
Beneath the sun's warm ray.
Sad mother, let the warm rays fall,
Within thy sorrowing heart ;
Look up the Sun of Righteousness
Can heavenly peace impart.
Go wipe the dust from Ellie's chair,
And from her little bed ;
No dust should rest on Ellie's things,
She lies not with the dead.
'Tis true the earthly covering rests,
Beneath the grassy sod ;
But with a form more glorious,
Thy Ellie rose to God.
More beautiful the "beauteous hair,"
The beaming eye more bright ;
For Ellie lives in heaven now
Tho world of lovo and light.
The precious one you fondly, strove
To shield from earthly ill",
Hath now an angel-mother's care,
But thoa art near her still.
The spirit-world is near us now,
Tho veil between is thin ;
Each tho't, each word, each act of love,
. Reveals the heaven within.
Then let not night obscure the day,
And earth appear less fair,
Bat let thy spirit rise to heaven,
And meet tby Ellie there.

UNRIVALLED ATTRACTIONS !!
EMERSON:S MAGAZINE
AND PUTNAM'S MONTHLY,
TWO GREAT XAGAZ1KES IX ONE.
90,000 COPIES THE FIRST MONTH!!!!
MAGNIFICENT PROGRAMME FOR 1858
20,000 IN SPLENDID WORKS OF ART.
FIVE-DOLLAR EXGRAVIXG TO EVERY SCBSCIBER. 4
The Great Library Offer. Agents Getting Rich !
The union of EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has given to the consoli
dated work a circulation second to but one similar
publication in the country, and has secured for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob-"
ably unrivalled by any other magazine in the
world. During the first month, thesale in the trade
and demand from subscribers exceeded 90.000 co
pics, and the numbers already issued of the con
solidated work are universally conceded to have
surpassed, in the richness of their literary contents,
and the beauty and profusenees of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from
the American press. Encouraged by these eviden
ces of favor, the publishers have determined to
commence the new volume in January with still
additional attractions, and to offer such induce
ments to subscribers as cannot fail to place it, in
circulation, at the hend of American magazines.
With this viow they now announce the following
splendid programme. They have purchased that
superb and costlv steel-plate engraving,
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present a copy of it to every three-dollar
subscriber for tho year 1S58. It was engraved at
a cost of over 90.000, by the late celebrated A. L.
Dick, from the original of Raphael Morghen, after
Leonardo Da inci, and Is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed n this country, being
three times tho sized the ordinary JcngraviEgi.
The first impressions of this cngravins are held
at 510. and it was the intention of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever bo offered for
a less sum than S5, being richly worth that amount.
Thns every three-dollar subscriber will receive
the Magazine ono year cheap at S3 and this
splendid engraving richly worth So ; thus get
ting for S3 thevalue of Eight dollars.
We -shall commence striking off the engravings
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so large a plate can be taken as fast
as they will be called for by subscribers. We shall,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions are received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings early, and from the first im
pressions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay The engraving can be sent on rollers,
by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers
shall order.
S20.000 IX WORKS OF ART.
In addition to the superb engraving of 'TUE
LAST SUPPER," which will be presented so eve
ry three-dollar subscriber for 1868, the publishers
have completed arrangemente lor the distribution.

mence receiving the Magazine by return mail.
You will also receive with the first copy a num
bered subscription receipt entitling you to the En
graving of "THE LAST SUPPER,1' and a chance
to draw one of these " Three Thousand Prizes."
REASOSS WHY VOO SIIOILK PRBSCRIIiE FOR
EMERSON'S MAGAZINE FOR 13S8.
Ft rat : Because its literary contents will.durinz
the year, cmbraA contributions from over one
hundred different writers and thinkers, num
bering among them the most distinguished of A
merican authors.
Second : Because its editorial departments, ;Our
Studio," "OurWindow," and '-OurOlio," will each
be conducted by an able edisor and it will sur
pass, in tho variety and richness of its editorial
contents, any other magazine.
Third: Because it will contain. during the year,
nearly six thousand original pictorial illustrations
from designs by the first American artists.
Fourth : Because for the sum of S3 you will re
ceive this splendid monthly, more richly worth
that sum than any other magazine, and the superb
engraving of "Fte Last Supper,'" worth So.
Fifth: Because you will very likely draw ono
of the three thousand prizes to be distributed on
the 25th day of December, 1853 perhaps one
that is worth One Thousand Dollars.
Notwithstanding that these extraordinary in
ducements can hardly fail to accomplish the ob
jects of the publishers without further efforts, yet
they have determined to continue through the year

the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that
it performs well, and more than meets my expec
