RIDICULOUS.
• Thera's beauty on thy changing cheek,
And in thy hazy eye,
Theme's beauty on thy laughing lip, •
Like mummer in the sky;
There's beauty in thy fairy step,
There's beauty strange and rare,
When th' sunlight gleams like gold upon
Your tangled carrotty hair!
Thou !cest me yet, though time and tide
Havo aomewhat changed the boy;
And Ism not exactly what
I was in childhood's joy;
Thy heart has known no other tie
But tine affection's law;
Such love as that is excellent;
Ifike oysters, stewed or raw !
And I have loved thee well and true,
While time along has flown,
I've turned in joy or grief to the*, .
My beautiful, my own
Blast with your . love, I still am young,
Though ago my brow assails;
There is no marks except a few,
Made by your finger nails !

EXPERIENCE OF A MECHANIC.
Two young men, both of them mechan
ice, were married about the same time, and
entered upon life with apparently equal
prospects, except that one was rather giv
en to extravagance and fashion, while the
other was more prudent and frugal. Tho
wife of the latter however, being of a differ
ent turn from her husband, became uneasy
because the former, without any superior
advantages, made more show than he did,
and had many more fine things. She told
her husband that his income must be as
great as the other's, and that she knew
they, were able to appear as well as their
neighbor.
"I want to do as other people do," was
heikall conquering argunient. Her hus
band yielded again and again to her entrea
ties, although professing that he was not
able.
At length the more showy neighbor
failed ! And seeing their fine things sold
under the hammer of the auctioneer, his
wife who was far from being destitute of
good feelings, began to mistrust whether
imitating them, and "doing as otl•er folks
--s
do," they might not meet a similar fate.
She inquired of her husband how his
fairs stood. He told her that his expense
had exceeded his income, but he hoped to
get thro' and pay what he owed. i
Before long he was sued for his debt. 4--
Then his wife was in panics! .She knew
that his misfortune was chargeable to her
folly; although he never reproached her,
nor cast any unkind reflections. Disturb
ed with conflicting emotions, she tried to
plan some new way to get along in thi3 ter
rible difficulty! But finding all her endea•
vors fruitless, she said to her husband with
unfeigned distress. "What shall we do?
What can we dot"
"Do?" he calmly replied, 4 we must do
as other folks do; have our fine things sold
under the hammer!"
This was enough for her. She had been
the begining and end of this common folly,
and she was satisfied. From that time he
bed no trouble to persuade her to be frugal
and prudent. They wore both agreed it:
pursuing the same course. And it is al
most useless to say that their prosperity
was In proportion to their wisdom and
prudence. 7 —arford Mercury.

behold it is his duty at the appointed time
to give it thee without asking.
2. When thou dost write for his paper,
never say unto him 'what thinkest thou of
my piece?' for it may be the truth will
offend thee.
8. It is not fit-that thou shouldst ask of
him who is the author of any article, for
his duty requires him to keep it to him
self.
4. When thou dust enter a printing of.

nut touch a type, for thou mayest cause the
printer much trouble.

HORSEPOWER.
AND
THRASHING
MACHINES.
THE Subscriber takes pleasure in an
flouncing that he is now prepared to furnish
the Farmers of Adams and Franklin Coun•
ties with the best HORSE POWER AND
THRASHING MACHINES ever put in
operation in either of the above counties.—
The advantages of the Horse-Power are
obvious from the fact, that a much greater
velocity of the cylinder of the Machine is
acquired by a slower walk of the horses
than in any other Machine now in use, and
having greater leverage and lees friction
requires lighter draught. The superiorill
ty of the Thrashing Machine consists in
that of Thrashing more grain in any given
time with four men to attend it, than the
Machines now in use do with seven men to
attend them.
Tho above powers and Machines are
permanently constructed, and will wear
much longer than any heretofore offered to
the public. The Shops in which they are
manufactured are Mount Maria Furnance,
near Millerstown, Adams counts', and at
Indian Springs, near Waynesboro', Frank

S & COLDS:
THE CAUSE OF CONSUMPTION.—Sim.
pie as these complaints are usually considered,
no one can deny their being the most common
cause of this fatal and distressing disease. It is
indeed a melancholy truth, that thousands fall
victims to Consumption every year from no other
cause than NEGLECTED COLDS Yet we
find hundreds, nay thousands who treat such
complaints with the greatest indifference, and
lot them run on for weeks and oven months with.
out thinking of the danger. At first you have
what you may consider a alight COUGH or
COLD; you allow business, pleasure or careless
ness to prevent you from giving it any attention;
it then settles upon your breast, you become
hoarse, have pains in the side or chest, expecto
rate large quantities of matter, perhaps mixed
with blood, a difficulty of breathing ensues, and
then you find your own foolish neglect haebrought
on this distressing complaint If then you value
