THE FALLACY OF HUMAN HOPES

Hopes and desires are ever found in bosoms of
human families. There is hardly an individual
but what has some dear hope which he fondly
cherishes, and when the fallacy of one is
brought to view, will but murmur passing re-
greet or she'd tear and hope again.
The merchant trusts his fortune IN trail bark
upon the wide waste of waters Why? Be-.
cause the bright vision ofhope reveals unto him
fair winds, and safe arrival upon foreign shores
of the precious commodities which he has trust
ted upon the dancing waves, that the vessel
will again return, bringing him riches and afl1u.

When the farmer lls the earth, and commits
TO its gendering bosom tho seed which is to
spring forth and be gathered into his gamers for
the sustenance of himself and family, and to ad .
minister unto the wants and necessities Of Others
it is always with The hope that such will be
the reward of all his TOLL Thus it is with all
mankind-all possess their hopes and desires,
and they seem to administer to their comfort and
happiness. But how extremely fallacious are
all human hopes; and how very uncertain are
all earthly aniic'pations and desires! When sum-
mer skies are over ,ls-when not a clond OBJ.

earth is teeming with fragrance and song we

cloud and storm come up, when our hopes ale
most active and bright, and they are dimmed
and broken and banished from the heart. They
are like the tender flowers that spring up in the
evenings silence-they droop and fade in an
hour-"the wind passeth over them and they
are gone, and the place thereof shall know them
no more"

w and well selected assortment of
38 ARR 60 WyJe&e as .G-a GOODS
most OF which have been purchased at prices unus-
ually low and will DO sold for a very small
advance. The impression has prevailed to Il con
siderable extent that Goods may be purchased of
pedlers better bargains than of regular merchants
Whether this impression has ever been well found
ed it is not material to enquire. 1t is sufficient for
our present purpose that we assure the public that
prices shall! be Lo'o to give occasion for
the remark in future, far as 1t applies TO u.s.
Experience has tough: us the force of tho maxim,
that ga nimble nineponce is better than slow sh
ling and we shall adopt in future such policy
will make it for the interest Of persons who pur
chase with cash, TO purchase of us. These remarks
are not made merely for effect, but with he firm
belief that the plan proposed may be carried into
effect in good faith and result to the mutual advan-
tage of our customers and ourselves.
We therefore repeat the assurance that will
sell Goods for cash at smaller profit than has been
added heretofore i'll the county.
Those wishing TO barter for Goods, purchase
on q credit, will do well to call before pur-
chasing elsewhere. We don't wish TO sell to such
as neDor pay-but good credit aud prompt payment,
at the time agreed upon, will buy Goods at small
advance from cost.
The Ladies and Gcntlcmcn of st. Johnsbury and
vicinity, are respectfully invited to call and exam
inc the new Goods.
