Thompson's Clock. r?o
There U a clock in our ""place
That regulates the town,
With tiny hands and pretty face, -r.
Though it looks old ami brown.
The rarest clock that e'er I saw,' '
It beats all clocks, I know,
It went and stood in Noah's ark
Four thousand years ago. : . , .
There is a clock in our place :
- A t THOMPSON 'S store 'tis founds,
Tis called the rbgclatob here, ,
And rarest clock in town.. .
Just call at Thompson's Hatter's Store,
And see this old clock go,
And buy a hat in place of one ("
L' Bought twenty years ago.' ,!
This Thompson keeps on Ginton street.
The clock ia in his store,
And has been running, without feet,'
Four thousand years and more.
Now, if you don't belirve me, Tom,
Just call in as you go,w- - -
And buy a Cap in place of one

Twas put up by George Bolsiuger, 1

The wheels are made of wood and brass,

IRISH MACHINE POETRY. '
Jem Dodge married eld Judy Rouse
Och, she was a charming young bride, .
With turf he then built a brick bouse
And the front door was on the back side ;
The roof was tiled without straw.
The cellar was on the first floor,
And the chimney in order to draw,
Was built just outside of the door.
A beggar was Teddy Malone,
His sister was his only brother ; - .
He had nothing at all of bis own, f
Except what belonged to his mother ;
One night, Teddy says to the Squire,
I'm so cold give me Something to eat
I'm so dry let me sit by the fire.
And so hungry, I must warm my feet.
"Och ! honey" one day says Pat Tigg,
For be was a scandalous glutton,
" To-morrow I'll kill my fat pig.
For I'm sure he'll make ilegant mutton."
So then he goes into the hovel.
And hangs the pig up by hell,
Cut his throat so neat with a shovel,
Saying this is the way to dress veal .
One day Paddy Mulligan swore
Ho had scalt his mouth to a blister,
While at dinner the morning before
-And What was it wid ?" asked his sister.
Says Paddy, just thry for to guess I"
' Och I can't" then I'll tell ye my swate, O!
Twas nothing more or nothing less.
Than a raw roasted frozen potato.
BEULAH:
A DESERTED VILLAGE.
There is no more singular fact in the his
tory of Cambria county and indeed we might
say in the history of Pennsylvania than that
presented in the founding aud subsequent
abandonment of the Welsh settlement of Beu
lah. In 1797, just sixty years ago, a num
ber of hardy Welshmen, seeking a new home
among the AUeghenies, similar in its physi
cal characteristics and surroundings to the
one they had left among the rocks of old
Wales, found tho realization of their desire in
an exceedingly small valley or "hollow," up
on the banks of the Blacklick, in the township
of Cambria, county of Somerset, (Cambria
county was not then on the maps.) And there
they pitched their tents and founded a village
and the name of that village was "Beulah."
Trees were felled ; Beulah was surveyed into
streets, and alleys, and town lots ; roads to
and from the village were constructed ; dwelling-houses
and workshops were erected ; re
ligious societies and associations for mutual
improvement were organized ; and a newspa
per established. All the elements of a heal
thy growth appear to have been called into
requisition in behalf of Beulah. The location
Feemed to be a most favorable one: the cli
mate was healthful ; the soil in the vicinity
productive ; iron ore, limestone, coal and pot
ter's clay had been discovered in the neigh
"borhood ; the water in the Eprings and streams
was pure and abundant, and good timber was
only too plenty. The woods were alive with
game ana the streams with finny "beauties."
The settlers were honest, hard-fisted, energet
ic. - Why should not. Beulah grow, flourish,
and become a great city ! But. alas I it did
neither. Founded in 1797, it grew to its
full stature in 1798. and inl 1803 or 1804,
when it- entered the lists with its young rival
and neighbor, Ebensburg, for the honor of
being named the capital of the new county of
Cambria, it had commenced to take a 'very
large step backwards.' That unfortunate tilt
with Ebensburg "fixed" beyond a perad ven
ture the destiny of Beulah.. Its. Welsh, bur
ghers soon commenced to turn a longing look
upon the couuty-seat ; the implements of hus
bandry and the tools of the cunning workmen
were laid awsy to rust, and the price of real
estate rapidly declined. ' Ere. long, Beulah
was deserted, and it remains deserted to this
day. Where once stood tho bustling little
village, now only can be seen a single old
fashioned and very shaky wooden dwelling
a fitting relic and a sorry monument of the
departed greatness of Beulah. 'AH else is
gone. Even the streets, the "busy streets,"
of Beulah where are they ?
' The main fact stated above will only be new
to tie stranger and new-comer among Cam
brians, but we bare 110 doubt that many an
old settler, and probably the "oldest inhabi
tant," will learn witk astonishment that a
newspaper waa published at Beulah,' and that,
too. durine the last century. ' But such is the
foci. We have before us the first cumber of
that paper, and therefore speak only of that
which we do know and have seen. This copy
has been handed us by Maior Moses Canan,
the pioneer lawyer of Cambria county, who,
in 1805, attended the first Court beld in the
county. We purpose briefly to give the rea
der an idea of what this pioneer newspaper of
f 'Little vambrta" contains. ..
Tho name of the paper is "The Western
Sky; it was printed by Ephraim Conrad in
1798 : its size Is small auarto debt pajres ;
and its typographical execution Is rather neat
than otherwise, its columns . go not contain
a single advertisement, but are mainly filled
with original articles upon various local top
lea; Some of these we will notice. It ap
neara that a Circulating Library waa estab
lished at Beulah, as the "Lawn for the Regu
lation of tho Beulah Library" are published
in full in the 5'Sky." It also contains the
Constitution, By-Laws and Act of Incorpora
tion of the "Beulah Seminary" an institu
tion founded by citisens of Beulah for the pur
pose, aa the preamble to the Constitution sets
forth, of "disseminating knowledge and vir
tue." Several professorships of the higher
branches 'of an" academical education are na-
fned and provided for, in this . instrument.
Aiucn attention appears to nave oeen devoted
by the people of Beulah to agriculture aud
manufactures, for we find in the "Sky" the
Constitution of the 4 'Beulah Society of Rural
Arts," and also an address delivered be lore tht
Society oa Wednesday, Nov. 21. 1793. An-
pcuucu lu uicse uucumeuia is a . vireuiar
addressed by the Society to the 4 'Citizens of

number of "Queries in Agriculture "of which

Next we find an Oration delivered at Beu
lah, 6n the 4th of July, ITSS, by Morgan J.
Rhees. Mr. Rhces' Oration is well gotten
op, and brimfull of patriotism, lie goes in
for independence up to the hob ; puts in a
word for the 4 'poor despised Africans" heH
in bondage upon American soil, and pitches
into France sans ceremonie for attempting to
gerrymander the youcg Amei ican giant oat
of bis rights. The oration winds . up with
some wholesome moral advice to the audienco.

There is an excellent poetic effusion in one
corner of the "Sky," entitled "Stanzas, writ

Charles Lloyd, brother of the venerable Ste

We close this curious relic of the early his

subject under consideration, by expressing
the conviction in which we think the reader
will concur that the Welsh men ai d women
