BY JAMES M. SWAXK.
There is no more singular fact in the
history of Cambria county and indeed
we might say in the history of Pennsyl
vania than that presented in the founding:
and subsequent abandonment of the Welsh
settlement ot Beulah. In 171)7, just
sixty years ago, a number of hardy Welsh
men, seeking a new home among tho Al
leghenies similar in its physical character
istics sind surroundings to the one they
had left among the rocks of old Wales,
found the realization of their desire in an
exceedingly email valley or "hollow,"
upon the banks of the lilacklick, in the
township of Cambria, county of Houierset,
(Cambria county was not then known
upon the maps.) And there the-pitched
their tents and founded a village, and the
name of that village was "Ucuiah." All
the elements of a healthy growth appear
to have been called into requisition in be
half of lieulah. The location f-eemed t i
be a most favorable one ; the climate was
healthful; the soil in the vicinity produc
tive ; iron ore, limestone, coal and potter's
clay had been discovered in the neighbor
hood ; the water iu the Epringsand streams
was pure and abundant, and good timber
was only too plenty. The woods were
alive with game and the streams with
finny "be:aities." The settlers were hon
est, hard-fisted, energetic. Trees were
felled ;. Ueulah was surveyed into streets,
and alleys, and town lots ; roads to and
from the village were constructed ; clwel
lins houses and workshops were erected ;
religious societies" and associations for
mutual improvement were organized; and
a newspaper was established. Why should
not Beulah grow, and flourish, and become
a great city ? Uut, alas ! it did neither,
l'ounded in 17U7, it grew to its full sta
ture in 178, and in 1803 or ?U4,
when it entered the lists with its young
rival and near neighbor, Kbcnsburg, for
the honor of being named the capital of
the new county of Cambria, it had com
menced to take a very large step back
wards. That unfortunate tilt with Kbcns
burg "fixed" beyond a peradveuture the
destiny of Dculah. Its Welsh burghers
soon commenced to turn a longing look
upon the county seat; the implements of
husbandry and tho tools of the cunning
workman were laid away to rust ; and the
price of real estate rapidly declined. Ere
long 1'eulah was deserted, and iUremaiii3
deserted to this day. Where once stood
tho bustlingjittle village, now only can
be f-een a single old-fashioned and very
shaky wooden dwelling a fitting relic and
a sorry monument of the departed great
ness of Ueulah. All else is gone. .Even
the streets, the ' busy streets" of lieulah
where arc they ?
The main fact stated above will only be
new to the stranger and new-comer among
Cambrians, but(many an old 60ttler, and
probably even the '-o'dest inhabitant,"
will le irn with astonishment that a nr.ws'
pnper was published at lieulah, and that,
too, during the last ceutury. Iiut such is
the fact. We have before us the first
number of that paper, and therefore speak
only of that which we do know and have
seen. This copy has been handed us by
Major Moses Canan, the pioneer lawyer
of Cambria county, who, in 1807, attended
the first court held in the county. We
purpose briefly to give the reader au idea
of what this pioneer newspaper ol ".Little
Cambria contains.
Tbf. name of the nancr is "The Western
I-tt " if Ti-no r,Tirifrl liv Fnliraim (Vn.
'-"J t " i j - -i
rad in 1708; its size is small quarto
eight pages, and its typographical execu
tion is rather neat than . otherwise. Its
columns do not contain a single advertise
ment, but arc mainly filled with original
articles upon various lacal topics. Some
of these we will notice.
It appears that a circulating library was
established at lieulah, as tho "Laws for
inc iveiruianou oi me jeuian liorary
published in full in the "Skv." It
also contains the constitution, by-laws and
r.t of incon-orstion of the -"lieulah Semi-
I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT THAN
nary" an institution founded by citizens
of lieulah for the purpose, as the preamble
to the constitution sets forth, of "dissem
inating knowledge and virtue." Several
professorships of the higher branches of
au academical education are named and
provided for in this instrument. Much
attention appears to have been devoted by
the people of lieulah to agriculture and
manufactures, for we fiud m the Sky"
the constitution of the "lieulah Society
of llural Arts," and also an address de
livered before the society ou Wednesday,
November 21, 1708. Appended to these
articles is a "Circular" addressed by the
society to the "citizens of United Ameri
ca, particularlythose who reside on the
Western waters, ' propounding a number
of "Queries iu Agriculture," of which the
following are examples : "Did you ever
cultivate the Knglish barley ? Does it
not far excel the American for making
malt? Would not beer made of malt be
more congenial to health and more bene
ficial to society thau distilled liquors?
What is the best time for brewing, and
the best way of preserving beer, ale and
porter through the heat of summer V It
is easily seen that the members of the
''lieulah Society of llural Arts" were net
total abstinent by a jug-full, but it is very
evident that their Welsh heads were about
right on the question of "distilled li
quors." All honor to theirlnemories for
i that ! The following "query" upon a
manufacturing subject seems to us to have
iudicated a rare inventive spirit among
the lieulah settlers, and to have fore
shadowed a late invention in the art of
making paper : "Do you know of any
plants, or of the barks of any trees, which
may be applied to the purpose of paper
making V That they were strong pro
tectionists and seund political economists
may be inferred from these questions :
"Would it not be more patriotic to en
courage the manufacture of cotton, wool
and flax, than to import'our wearing ap
parel i Could not the linen cf our country
be made as fine as that of Ireland or
Holland, and the cloth as good as that of
Britain?"
Next we find an oration delivered at
Ueulah on the Fourth of July, 1708, by
Morgan J. Khces. Mr. llhecs oration
is weil gotten up and brim-full of patriot
ism, lie goes in for independence up to
the hub; puts in a word for the "poor
despised Africans" held in bondage upon
American soil, and pitches into France
suns cerrmonie for attempting to gerry
mander the young American giant out of
his rights. The oration winds up with
come wholesome moral advice to the audi
ence. Anions the rejrular toasts read
after the speech and the dinner, we find
one complimentary to Gen. Washington,
then living; another to John Adams and
Uenjamin l'rankliu; another to the "fair
sex. ana another in ho:mr ot the uay
those lieulah Welshmen celebrated some
sixty years ago.
I here is an excellent poetic effusion in
one corner of the "Sky," entitled "Stanzas
written after a journey into North Wales,"
by Charles Lloyd, brother of the venerable
Stephen Lloyd, of Ebeusburg.
e close this curious relic of the early
history of Cambria county, and with it
close the subject under consideration, ly
expressing the conviction in which we
think the reader will concur that the
Welsh men and women who "settled"
lieulah were a most worthy and patriotic
people, and made of the right kind of
stuff throughout. They only failed in one
thing, and for that let X no man blame

L
Fit fok a Lawyer. An old lady
walked iuto a lawyer's ofEce lately, with
her boy of seven summers old.
''Squire, I called to see if you would
like to take this boy and endeavor to make
a lawyer of him." , '
"Decidedly too young,' madam. Have
you no older boys ?"
"Oh, yes, sir ; but wc mean to make
farmers of them. My husband and I
thought, however, that this one would
make a first-rate lawyer, and so I brought
him to you."
"Much too young, madam, to commence
the study of a profession. Iiut why do
3'ou suppose this boy better calculated to
make a lawyer than your older pons -what
are his peculiar qualifications?"
"Oh. well, you see. sir, he is just seven
yeirs old to-day; when he was only five,
he could lie like the devil; when he got
to be six, he was as sa6sy and impudent
as any critter could be ; and now he steals
everything he can lay his bauds upon.
Now, if he ain't fit for a lawyer, I would
just like to know what he will have to
learn."
"I'retty well educated, I should think.
Too young, however. Good morning."

Will Making.
The practice of cutting off with a shil
ling was introduced to refute the presump
tion of forgetf ulncss or unconsciousness ;
to show that the testator fully remembered
and meant to disinherit the sufferer. Lady
Mary Wortley Montague cut off her scape
grace of a son w'th a guinea. When
Sheridan threatened to cut off his el lest
born with a shilling, the quiet retort was,
"Couldn't you give it to me at once, if
vou happen to have such a thing about
you?"
Hazliti mentions an habitual liar, who,
consistent to the last, employed the re

condemned by the doctors, in making a
will, by which he bequeathed large estates
in different parts of England, money iu
the fuuds, rich jewels, rings, and all kinds
of valuables, to his old friends and ac
quaintances, who, not knowing how far
the force of nature could go, were not for
some time convinced that all this fairy
wealth never had an existence anywhere
but in the idle coinage of his brain, whose
whims and projects were no more.

A Beautiful Reflection. Ilulwer
eloquently says : "I cannot believe that
earth is mau's abiding place. It cannot
be that our life is cast up by the ocean ot
eternity, to float a moment upon its waves
and then sink into nothingness. Else
why is it, that tho glorious aspirations,
which leap like angels from the temple of
our heart, are forever wandering. about
unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow
and clouds come over us with a beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off and
leave us to muse on their faded loveliness.
Why is it that the stars, who hold their
festival a.-ound the midnight throne, are
set above the grasp of our limited facul
ties, forever mocking us with their unap
proachable glory ? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are
preseuted to our view, and then take us,
leaving the thousand streams of affection
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts ? We are born fdr a higher des
tiny than of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades ; where the
stars wilj spread before us like islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the
beings that pass before us, like shad
ows, stay in our presence forever."
JKa? A; Western editor complaining he
could not sleep one night, summed up the

ache, and a pig trying to get in at the
back door."

An Kditor on Edilln?.
Artemus Ward, alias lirown, late local
editor of the Clevelaud l'laindvalcr, gives
the following advice to young meu who
aspire to become editors of newspapers:
"IJefbre you go for an editor, young
man, pause and take a big think ! Do
not rush into the editorial harness rashly.
Look around and see if there is not an
omnibus to drive some soil somewhere
to be tilled a clerkship of some meat cart
to be filled anythiug that is reputable and
healthy, rather than going for an editor,
which is hard business at best.
"We are not a horse, and, consequently,
have not been called upon to furnish the
motive power for a threshing machine; but
we fancy that the life of the editor who is
forced to write, write, write, whether he
feels right or not, s much like the steed
in question. If the yeas and neighs could
be obtained, wc believe the intelligent
horse would decide that the thrashing ma
chine is preferable to the sanctum editori
al. The editor's work is never done. He is
drained incessantly, and no wonder that
he dries up prematurely. Other people
can attend banquets, weddings, &c., visit
halls ot dazzling light, get inebriated,
break windows, lick a man occasionally,
and enjoy themselves in a variety of wajs,
but the editor cannot. He must stick
tenaciously to quill. The press, like a
sick baby, mustn't be left alone for a min
ute. It the press is left to run itself even
for a daj', some absurd person indignantly
orders the carrier boy to stop
briuiriutr
'that infernal paper. There's notliiu
iu
it. I won't have it in the house ."
The elegant Mantaliua, re-luccdto man
ic turning, described his life as a "dem'd
orrible grind." The life of an editor is
1 of that.
Jiut there is a good tune coming, wc
1 confident, for the editor a time when
will be appreciated ; when he will have
it seat ; when lie will nave a pie
y day, ana wear store ciotnes contin-
when the harsh cry of "ctop my
' will no more grate upon his
Courage Messieurs the Edit-
Still, sanguine as we are of the coming
of this jolly time, we advise the aspirant
for editorial honors to pause ere he takes
up the quill as a means of obtaining his
bread and butter. Do not, at least, do so
until j'ou have been jilted several dozen
times by alike number of girls until you
have been knocked dowu stairs and soused
iuto a horse pond uutil all the "gushing"
feelings within you have beeu thoroughly
subdued uutil, in short, your hide is ol
rhinocerous thickness. Then, O, aspi
rants for the bubble reputation at the
press' mouth, throw yourselves among the
inkpots, dust and cobwebs of the printing
office, if you will."
Management of Cueam in the Win
ter. For some re:.sou not yet known,
cream skimmed from milk in cold weath
er does not come to butter, when churned,
so quickly as that from the same cow in
warm weather. Perhaps the policies,
which form the little sacs of butter iu the
cream, are thicker and tougher. There
are two methods of obviating this trouble
in a great degree. One is to set the pan
of milk on the stove, or in some warm
place as soon as strained, and let it remain
until quite warm some say until a bubble
or two rises, or until a skim of cream be
gins to form on tho surface. Another
mode recommended, is to add a table
spoonful ot salt to a quart of cream when
it is skimmed. Cream thus prepared will
generally come to butter in a few minutes
when churned. It is thought the salt acts
upon the coating of the butter globules
and makes them tender, so that they break

"A little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the best of men."
Thunder in February. Meeting an
old friend from West Newbury, the other
day, he rcmiuded us cf an affair that hap
pened there some years since, over which
wc have enjoyed many a hearty laugh to
gether :
A gentleman residing in West Newbury
having missed a good many sticks from his
woodpile, his suspicions fell upon a well-to-do,
but miserly neighbor of his, whom
he thought capable of the act. He re&olved
accordingly, to resort to the old expedient
of placing a heavy log in a tempting po
sition, having first well charged it with
gunpowder, not only iu the centre, but in
several minor crevices. "
Sure enough; the stick disappeared, and
one looking very much like it "might have
been 6een," as James say?, on the suspect
ed gentleman's hearth on the ensuing Sun
day. Ueforc it, in a huge tiu-kitchen, u,
turkey was browning itself into a climax.
All of a sudden a thundering explosion
was heard the tin-kitchen was blown in
to a thousand atoms the dismembered
turkey flew through the atmosphere, and
the old tom-cat disappeared up the chim
ney. The old gentleman and his. maiden sla
ter were horribly scared, but not material
ly injured, and the former was the first to
speak. "Sister," said he, "that Vre was
the loudet thuuder that I ever heard iu
February."
The next day the plotter of the mischief
sent a tin-peddler to tho depredator's
house.
"Want any tinware?" said the Yankee.
"N'o, no '." said the old gentleman, test
ily. " hy, yes you do," replied the peddler,
"3'our memory must be dreadful short.
Most all your neighbors say as how you
want a tin-kitchen." '
,A pair of tongs flew through the air,
but the tiu-peddlcr dodged around the
house corner, where he looked through a
window exclaiming "Uetter hev it, now;
it's a fust rate article warrant it to stand
most any climate, and all sorts of weather,
from earthquakes down to Lome-made
thuuder!"
Choir Sinchnc. Our amateur choir
siugers are too fond of "executing difficult
pieces," and confounding commjn people
with reverberating resonances. The rec
tor of St. liardolph's takes off this style
most laughably in describing the singing
of the following stanza : .
"True love is like that precious oil,
Which, poured on Aaron's head.
Ran down hi3 beard, and o'er his robes ' '
Its costly moisture shed."
In tho prodigious effort of this perfor
mance, the splitting-combiuatiou of the
several voices hardly bore a resemblance
to that oily current poured on Aaron's;
head, which
"Ran down his beard, and o'er his head-
llan down his Aeard .
-his robes-
And o'er his robes-
Kan down hii beard ran down bis
o'er his robes
His robes, his robes ran down bis beard
Han down his-

His robes its costly waist his beard
ure shed his coat his robes lire Fhed
Its c-o-s-t-l-y UKji.itire 6h4 1"
The late Uishop Seabury being asked
his opinion of this performance, replied,
that he paid no attention to the music
but that his s3-mpathies were so much ei-
fitiul far lumr Aaron that lii was afraid
