STANZAS-

Iaood uponthe rocky height,
That overlooked the sea,
Where, dancing in the golden light
The waves were rolling free;
And ioyously each wave did chase
Its fellow to the strand,
And stroye to sweep Ger every trace
Each made upon the sand.
Anon, / saw a mighty one,
Wild, huge and fcamy crest
That came wildly dashing on.
And swept by all the rest
And bade defiance TO all power
Its wld, swift course to stay;
But soon it reached the fatal shore.
Then calmly died away
And so il is with the sea of life:
Man is bat as awave;
Whether his path is peace on striio-
Hesoo will reach the grave.
The greatest and the mightlest,
The coward and the brave,
The poorest and the lnmblest,
Are speeding to the grave

Nothing is so great instance OF I'll manners as
flatcry. If you fatter all the company you please
none if you fatter only one or two' you anront all
the rest.
The apprehension of evil, Is sometimes worse
than tho evil ITSELF aud the ills man fears he shall
suffer. he suffers in the verv fear of them.
Sobriety without sulleness Is commendsble. and
mr,h without modesiy dctes'abIc.

YOUTH AND AGE.

With cheerful step the traveller.
Pursues his early way,
When first the dimly dawning east
Reveals the rising day.
He bounds along the craggy road,
He hastens up the height,
And all he sees and all he hears
Administers delight.
And If frhe mist, retiring slow,
Roll round ITS wavy white,
ne thinks the morning vapors hide
Some beauty fromhis sight.
But when behind the western Clouds
Departs the fading day,
How wearily the traveller
P,nsues hrs evening way.
Sorely aleng the craggy road
His painful footsteps creep,
And slow, with many feeble pause
He labors up the steep
And if the nists ofight close round
They fillhis soul with fear,
He breads some unseen precipicer
Some hidden danger near
So cheerftLly does youth begin
Life's pleasant morning stage:
Alas the evening traveller feels
The fears Of weary age

The contract Of James Reside for car

present, somewhat in detail, all the infor-
nation which they have been able TO col
lect. whether from documents or the ex
animation OF witnesses, which seems at all
important to the correct and full under.
standing Of the transaction.
Andrew Lindsay and Daniel Sh2ffer
were the contractors on this route prior to
the LIST day of January, 1882, and Shafter
(see Doc. No 54) 10 his deposition, which
was takea by the committee on thh 18th
Of November, 1884, says. that they got
under this contract 5000 year, aud car.
ried the mail in two horse post coaches,
except about nine months OF the last, when
they carried il in four horse post coaches.

HN M. POMEROY, having for more
HIo than twelve years past been enga-
ged in the manufacture Of Razor Straps,
has spared no pains and neglected no ex.
pertinent which he supposed might lead
10 the discovery Of the grand desideratun;
and having succeeded beyond his most
|sanguine expectations, is now prepared to
offer to the public his very superior
METALLIC HONE f. ELASTIC
RAZOR STRAP.
The Patentee is not insensible of the
impositions that have been, and now are
daily practised upon the community, by
pufs of pretended improvements. The only
puff he wishes his "Hone and Strap" to
receive, is that need Of praise voluntarily
awarded it, by those who have experien.
ced its beneficial results upon razor; and
that all may have an opportunity Of expe-
Fencing such results for themselves, the
Patentee will appoint agents for the prin-
cipal cities and towns Of the United States
who will be constantly supplied with the
article, and who will be authorized to
place in the hands of responsible gentlemen
one of them for trial; and il by using one
or two months they prove themselves to be
no "yankee shaue," One Dollar will pay
for it, and if any gentleman on such trial,
is not fully satisfied Of its superior utility,
he is at liberty TO return the strap.
The Directions accompanying this arti-
Gle, will be signed by E. M. Pomeroy, the
sole Patentee, and only manufactures.
I All infrin sements OF this patent will be
prosecuted by the patentee.
