'Tis wondrous strange how great the change Since I was in my teens, Then I had beaux and billet-doux, And joined the gayest scenes. But ltivors now have ceased to vow; No way they now contrive To poison, h.Lng, or drown themselves, Because Pm twenty-five. Once, if the night was e'er so bright, ne'.er abroad could roams Without 4 ' Iho bliss, the honor, Of seeing you safe home." But now I go. through rain and snow, Pursued and scarce alive. Through sillthc dark, without a spark,. Because P.at twenty-five. They used to cell and ask ine• all glilitemy'hearth so fail; And thought a ride ' , you'd help my side, And turn my cheeks less pale, But now, alas I if I am ill, None cares that I revive ; And .ny pale cheek in vain may speak, Because I'm twenty-five. Now, if a ride improves.tny side, I'm forced to take the stage; For that is deemed quite proper for A person of my age. And then no hand is offered me, To help me out alive; Tfiey think 'twoLt'hurt me now to fall, Beeause I'm twenty-five. 0 dear! 'tis queer that every year or, l'in slighted more and more ; - For not a beau pretends to show II is head within our door. Nor ride, uor card, nor soft address My spirits now revive ; And one might peat as well be dead: saY "I'm "twenty-five." - Do it Well Whatever you do, do it well. A job slighted, because it is apparently unim portant, leads to habitual neglect, so that men degenerate, insensibly, into bad workmen. " That is a good, rough job," said a foreman in our hearing, recently, and he meant that it was a piece of work, not excellent in itself, but strongly made and well put together. Training the head and eye to-do work well, leads individuals to form correct habits in other respects, and a good workman is, in most cases, a good citi zen. No one need hope to rise abov. his present situation who salters small things to pass by unimproved, or who neglects, metaphorically speaking, to pick up a cent because it is not a dollar. Some of the wisest law-makers, the best states-Men, the , most gifted artists, the most merciful judges, the most in genious mechanics, rose from' the great mess, A. rival. of .a certain great lawyer sought to humiliate him publicly; by by saying : " You blacked my father's boots once." " Yes," replied - the lawyer unabashed, "and I did it well." But because of doing mean things, he roseato greater. Take heart, an who toil l all youths in.humble stations, all in adverse cir cumstances, and those who labor unap preciated. if it be but to drive the plow, strive to, do it well; if it be but to was thread, wax it well,; if only to cut bolts, make good ones.; or to blow the bellows, keep the iron hot.

MARIETIA, PA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1866. I love the man whose honest heart Will bravely dare and bravely do ; Who will not act the coward's part, 'But, strong in right, will right pursue, Whose knee bends never at the nod Of titled pomp or royal power, But bows alone before his God, With hope hie crown and love his dower, Who dares to face a world of scorn, And dares a brother's hand to span, Though' dark the skin and rough the form, If yet that brother be a man ; Who strikes where'er a wrong is found, And brands a tyrant to his face ; Nor courts applause, an empty sound, But firmly treads in virtue's traces. Such are the men who've stemmed the tid4r; • Who 'clove the way through giant wrong, And fought triumphant side by side, 'Mid perils seen and troubles long; Their martyred forms are richly strewn, On many an ancient field of erime But seeds of truth they've widely sown, To blossom rich in coming time. Ainid those armies of the dead, Whose legions pale and silent lie, Their lives a passing fragrance shed, Their names immortal ne'er shall die. STOPPING THE SQUEAI{.-Dr. Still, the noted physician, says that he was going down the Mississippi, some years since, on a steamer whose engines was upon deck, he sauntered in that - vicinity to observe the working of the machinery. Near by stood a man apparently bent upon the same object. In a few mo ments a squeaking noise was heard on the opposite side of the engine. Seiz ing, the oil ma (a gigantic one, by the way,) the engineer sought out the dry spot, and, to prevent further noise of that kin], liberally applied the contents of his can to every joint. Ali went well for a while, when the same squeaking was heard in another direction. The oiling proeess was repeated, and quiet again restored ; but, as the engineer was coming quietly around to the spot occu_ pied by the doctor and the stranger, he heard another eqtreak. This time he detected fife trireScause of the difficulty. The stranger was a ventriloquisi. • Walking directly up behind: him, he seized the astonished joker by the back of the neck, and emptied the contents of the can down his spine, saying,— " There I I don't believe that' old en gine will'squeak again." SALT, YOUR CHIMNEYS. —ln building a chimney, put a-quantity of salt into the mortar with which the intercourses of brick are to be laid. The effect - will be that there will never be any accumula tion of soot in that chimney. The phil osophy is thus stated :- The salt in the portion of mortar which is exposed, ab sorbs moisture every damp day. The soot thus becoming damp falls down the fire place. Our readers should remem ber or preserve this little piece of valu able information. So says an exchange, gar The other night a transient hoard er at a hotel in St. Lonisgot tight, miss ed his load, was captured and' conveyed to the calaboose.

The Best Fun " Now, 'bilis, 111 tell you bow we can have some fun," said Freddie B --, to his companions, who had assembled on &beautiful moonlight evening, for' slid ing, snow-balling, and fun generally, " How?" " Where ?" What is it?" asked several eager voices all at once. "I heard widow:Al—jell a man a little while ago," replied Freddie, "that she would go over and sit up with a sick child to-night. She said she would be over about eight o'clock. Now, as soon as she is gone, let's go and make a big snow-man on her eoor-step, so that when she comes back in the morning she can not get into her house, without first knocking him over." " Capital I" "First-rate I" " Boors !" shouted some of the boys.. "See here," said Charlie N—, "I'll tell , you the best fan."' "What is it ?" again :inquired several voices at once. "Wait a while," said Charlie. `'Who has got a wood saw 7" "I have." "So have I." "And I," answered three of the boys. "But what in the world do.you want with a wood saw 7" "You shall see," replied Charlie. "It is almost eight o'clock now, so go and get your saws. You Freddie and Nath an, each go and get an axe, and - I Will get a shovel. Let us all be back here in fifteen minutes, and I'll show you the -fun." The boys separated to go on their sev eral errands, each wondering what the fun could be, and what possible use could be made or wood-saws and axes in their play. But Charlie was nut only a great favorite with them all, bat also an acknowledged leader, .and they fully be lieved in him and in his promise. Their curiosity gave elasticity to their steps, and they were soon , aseembled. " Now," saidtCharlie. " Mrs. M is gone, for I met her-when I was com ing back, so let's be off at once." "But what are you going to do 2" in quired several impatient membera of the party. "You shall see directly," replied the leader, as they. approached the humble residence of Mrs. "Now, boys," said Charlie, "you see that pile of wood; a man hauled it here this'afternoon, and I heard Mrs. M— tell-him that unless she got some one to saw it to-night she would ' , have' hardly anything to make a fire of in the morn ing. Now we can saw and split that pile of wood just about as easy as we could build a snow man and when Mrs, comes home 'from her watching,. .she will be -full as much surprised to ,find her wood sawed; as she would to find a snow man on her doorsteps, and a great deal-more - pleasantly, too. What say you Y Will you do iii" One or two of the boys rather demurr ad at, first. They didn't like to saw wood, they said. But the majority were in favor of Charley's project, so they , with a a finally joined in, and went work with will. " I'll go around to the - back of the shed," said Charlie, "and crawl through the window and unfasten the 'door. Then we'll take turns in sawing, splitting and carrying "in the' wood ; and I.' want to pile it up real nice, and to shovel all the snow away from the door; and a good wide path; too, !rim the door to the 'street—won't it be *fon, when she coMes,honie arid sees it? ' The boys began' to Appreciate the fun, for they felt , they, were doing a- good deed,. and individually experienced that self-satisfaction andjoy , which always re. sults from well doing. It was not a long or wearisome job, for seven robust and healthy boys, to saw, split ,and pile tip,tho poor widow's half cord of wood, 4 1 : 1 4 to shovel a good path. " And when itwas done, so great was their pleasure and satisfaction, that one, of the boys who objebted to work at first, proposed thit they should ge to a neighboring carpenter's shop—where plenty of shavings could be had for the carrying away—and each bring an arm ful of kindling wood. The proposition was readily acceded to, and, this done; they repaireirto •their several homes, all of. Ahem more than tuitisfiedl.with the ' fun' of the , eyening.

The - tenoning reasonable hints to business men, in relation to the " art of advertishig;' are' just as • true • here as elsewhere : Advertising is an art, and that it is one that Pays, let the thousands in this country who have grown rich by it, an swer. We do'not say-that no man who has not properly advertised has prosper ed in business, but we do say that it is a rare case where any business might not hive been greatly augmented by a judi clone use of " printer's ink." What is advertising ? The art of making your wares known. Giving pub lieity to your business. Yon have your wares, others have wants. It is your interest to fillthe wants with the wares —to bring producer and consumer, tradesmen and purchaser, together. This is what signs are for, tastefully ar ranged store windows and the like. They are to captivate the eye. The eye is the sentinel of the will. Capture the sentinel and you carry the will. Im press the senses and yon move the choite. The feet follow the eyes. See how they pause at the shop window, and how they coves what is in it. Some of them step in to inquire the price; others step in and buy, not because they need the arti cle, but because they had the• money about them, and because the winning window won it away from them. This is what an advertiser assaults, Brat and last of all, the eyes. It is in vein to reason with your customers. Customers do not reason, do not arrive at a purchase by the slow method of military "approaches," impelled by an elaborate ratiocination, but carry the coveted commodity by a sudden assault, pricked tip' tit It by the indotnitable bay onets of the artists in' advertising. It is this 'untiring, unremitting, ever- lasting, never-take-for-an-answer appeal to the eyes of the people who want their hair to grow, by the people who have something for sale which they say will make the hair grow, that carries the day splatters the hair tonics over inflamer able-scalps, and puts fortunes in the bank to the credit of the,advertiserl This is the way to do it. Have a good article, an article that will do good and then stick it at them. Hit them in the face with,, it, slash them over the eyes with it. This is the art o of adver tising. Say you have a hat—a good hat —a hat that is worth having. on'lany body's head. Well, put it on every body's head, You can do it by advertis lag it. Other hatters may make a liv ing, you shall make a fortune—by ad vertising ! In all New York - there ie only one hatter. In Philadelphiwthere are imposing piles of brownstone owned by Dr. Jayne. They are built oat of advertising., In New York there is a huge pile on Broadway, worth its weight in gold, and an acre of ground of fabu lous costliness, the property of Dr. Hrandreth. All of it goes to the credit of advertising. Brandreth's pills are household words—because - Brandreth was , an adept in advertising—only this and nothing more. There is proof on every hand, then, and there is Mom in advertising. :BuLit-aan only ,he got out .by "pegging away," The first and chief and almost the only, qualification , for a successful advertieer is pertinacity.: To be the only hatter in town you have only to say you are, somewhere where:people see you say it, To have the only . hair tonic, or pill, or bitters`that the pkrple need, you have only to poke their eyes with the assertion that you have.' There is only here and there one , in any branch of money making that looms up and fills the public eye, and monopo- lizes the public purse. These are they who understand the art -of advertising, and appreciate the indisimtable fact that the way to make money-out of ad. vertising is to ,stick to it. - To make advertising pay, it mist be stuck to with all the4eitinacity that le indispensable.to success in the prosecu tion of every other art.
