A FAIR OFFER. Make full estimate
of all you owe, and all that is owing you.
Reduce the same to note. As fast as you
collect pay over to those you owe; and if
you can't collect renew your note and get
the best security you can. Go to business
diligently and be industrous-lose no time
waste no idle moments be very prudent
and economical in all things-discard all
pride but that of acting well-bc faithful
in your duty to God by regular and hearty
prayer morning and night attend church
and meeting regularly every Sunday, and
do unto all men as you would that they
should do unto YOU you are too needy
inyour own circumstances to give the poor,
do whatever else you have in your power
to do for them checrfuly-but if you can,
always help the worthy poor and uufortu-
nate. Pursue this course diligently and
sincerely for seven years, and ifyou are
not happy, comfortable aud independent in
your circumstances, come to me and will
pay all your debts. DR.. Franklin.

a BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
ny w. c. BRYANT, E'o.

Upon yon mountains distant head,
Where spoilcss SHOWS forever white,
Where all is still, and cold and dead
Late shines the suns departing light,
But far below those icy rocks,
Tie Wales, in summer bloom arrayed--
Woods full Of birds, and fields Of iiocks
Are dim with mist, or dark with shade.
'Tis thus, from warm and kindly hearts,
And eyes where generous meanings burn,
Earliest the light of life departs,
And fingers with the cold and sierl.

Runmoay Steam Engine. One of the
curious circumstances in the history of loo
omotive engines occurred on Sunday after
noon, at the depot of the Leeds and Sclby
railway, at Leeds. The fremcn had lighted
fire under the boiler of u locomotive en-
CINE which was attached to a train, and
then left it. The steam got up sooner than
they anticipated, and the engine set of
without either guide or train, and being
unenc,unbered, it proceeded with fearful
rapidity. The establishment Of the firemon
may be easily conceived when they found
the engine out Of sight The persons who
saw it in its flight were amazed beyond
measure, as it seemed literally to fly. At
length when the fire abated and the steam
lesscncd, its dangerous speed gradually
sackcucd and it finally stood still in the
Milford cutting, a distance OF ~ miles from
Leeds.

that This event was not occaSioncd by any

that the other inmates Of tie house percci-

that both of the deceased were born on the

lle other in 1863.
Among the many interesting incidents
that occurred during the great fire the fol-
lowing should be recorded: A wealthy
merchant who occupied Il store in Front

NEW ENGLAND FARMERS.

have other reasons for keeping our
young men at home besides the good of
New England. From my soul, | do Wish
we had ten times our present number Of
farmers! You know the history of the last
year. Ii is decided that in our large cities,
the mob rules, and the laws are cobwebs.
1t has been decided that to horse-whp
clergyman in the streets, shall cost $780,
for black man TO horse-whip the chairman
of the sclcctmen, only thirty dollars; and
for common men to destroy property and
beat and kill one another, it shall cost
nothing! Look forward, and what is be-
fore u.s. There is not a city in our land
which the mob cannot rule when they
please and as they please;-and there is an
end to law, when even neighborhood
chooses to nuliiy it. Who is surprised to
read in n newspaper that even innocent
men are Lynched, as it is called, abused, de-
graded dishonorcd, and yet no law will
reach them to protect their lives, or to pun
ish the transgrcssors. There is one class
of men upon whom we can as yet rely
1t is the same class that stood on the little
green at Lexington, It that gathered on the
heights of Bunker Hill, and poured down
from the hills of New England, and which
English Lion was ready TO devour i'll
mean the farmers of New England. They
were never found tramplng on law and
right. Were | to commit my character to
any class of men, my life when in danger,
my family, and my country's safety, it
would be to the farmers of New England.
They are a class of men such as the world
never saw, for honesty, intelligence. and
} Il L., a.
God. And when this nation qllakcs, they
and their SONS are those that will stand by
the sheet anchor Of our liberties and hold
the ship at her moorings till she outrldes the
storm. Why cherish New England so?
Why keep her sons on her soil? Because
God has given her a heritage sufficient, and
our sons need not wander away from the
graves of their fathers. They may be free,
independent and rich htre:-and here they
certainly will be virtuous and happy. Here
sleep our fathers names that need not 20
to fable to become ilustrious; no changes
in time can obscure their glory! Shall we
not love and stay by the land which contains
the dust of such men? On these hills and
through these vnllies there ever will be in
dusry and temperance, iron snews and no.
bic hearts; shall we not encourage Our sors
to stay and drink the pure waters and
breathe the pure air which God has poured
over this soil; With her school houses,
her academies, and colleges, New England
can never have any other than cultivated
miud-a population which will ever stand
high in the scale of manhood, the whole
world being Judge. Her sons have already
