A reporter at the Steuben county, N. Y.
fair, mentions a Towanda manufacture in
these complimentary terms:
THE EUREKA MOWER.
Oue of the greatest considerations for far
mers is the saving of horse flesh, and how to
do it is an important problem. In mowing
they find oue of those important factors star
ing them in their faces. The question of how
to avoid it is solved by the New Direct Draft
Eureka Mower, represented at the fair by
that affable general ygeut, Mr. 1,. Van Horn,
of East Troy, Pa. Another advantage is toe
rapidity and evenness in cutting, and of course
the greatest rapidity in curing. No tedder is
required for hay cut by the Eureka. That it
will find favor with a large number of far
mers is assured.

Still Waiting.
Sept. 19, 1881
Alas! when waiting brings us no relief !
When Hope, slow, mergeth into dull despair,
AY hen patient skill, Love's vigilance, fast prayer;
Prove vain, and we, dumb, impotent for grief,
Must yield to Death, the life of martyred chief.
Awhile it seemed like tempting Fate, to dare
Its solemn augruy in " arid air"
'l'o note! Vet should we disavow belief?
Fate's fiats, man nor nation may forestall!
Fate's instruments, shall we not also leave
To Hiin who calleth vengeance His? For they
Who wait " God's leisure" have no call
To speed revenge. Our call is now to grieve,
And wait Ilis time who saith, " I will repay."

How IT PAYS TO TAKE A NEWSPAPER.—
Some papers are not of much account as to
appearance, but I never took one th it did not
pay me, in some way. more than I paid for it.
Oue time an old friend started a little paper
away down in Southwestern Georgia and
sent it to me, and 1 subscribed just to encour
age him, and after a while it published a no
tice that an administrator had an order to sell
several lots at a public outcry, and one of the
lots was in my county. So I enquired about
the lot, and wrote to my friend to attend the
sale and run it up to fifty dollars. He did so,
and bid me off the lot for thirty dollars; and
1 sold it, ina month, to a man it joined for a
hundred, and so I made sixty-eight dollars
clear by taking that paper. My father told
me that when he was a young man he saw a
a notice in a paper that a school teacher was
wanted away off in a distant count", and he
went there and got the situation, and a little
girl was sent to him, and after a while she
grew lip mighty sweet and pretty, and lie fell
in love with her and married her—now. if he
hadn't taken that paper, what do you reckon
would have become of me? Wouldn't I have
been some other fellow, or may be not at
all.
