NEVER SAY FAIL.

NEVER SAY FAIL.
Keep pushing, 'lis wiser
Than sitting aside,
Add dreaming and siehins
And waiting the tide.
In life's earnest bsulo
They only prevail
Who daily march Onward
And never say fail.
With an eye ever open.
A tongue that's not dumb,
And heart 'hs, will never
To sorrow succumb;
You'll battle and conquer
Though thousands s'sail--
How strong and how mighty,
Hho never say fall
The spirit Of angels
Is active, | know,
AS higher and higher
In glory they 60;
Melhinks on brigh, pinions
From heaven hey sail,
To cheer and encourage
Who never say fail.
In life's rosy morning.
10 manhood's firm plide,
Lei This be The motto,
Your footsteps 10 guide:
ln storm and in sunshine,
Whstever assail.
Wen onward and conquer,
And never say fail.

A New Source for Supplying Butter

A physician in New York mentions in COM
muncation the result of some experiments, IN
which, by the aid of analysis, butter was found IN
pure state, in grasses, seeds and grain Out OF
one hundred weight of Indian corn meal, for in
stance, a good chemist can extract from eight to
ten pounds of butter.
"It has furthermore been proved, that butter
obtained from the cream of milk, is not animal Sc
cretions, but that it previously existed in the pure
and original state, in the hay or food of the cow
and sklful chemist can make more butter out OF
one hundred weight of hay than cow can, as the
cow must appropriate a considerably share OF II
for the uses and necessities of her organization.
Give cow a hundred pounds Of hay. and she will
render back eight pounds of butter. but an expert
chemist can realize twelve or thirteen pounds oul
Of it,"
The next sme that butter reaches fifty cents, we
have no doubt that company will be started tc
extract it, fresh every morning, from hay and corn

Hail Storm.

A severe hail storm visited Allentown and VI
cini,y on Tuesday flast week, which lasted about
30 minutes, and did considerable damage. Grain OF
all kind was at some places totally struck to the
ground, so that it becomes necessary to cut 1t with
the sickle. Many of the orchards have slso suf-
fered largely. some were bereft of nearly half
their fruit; and vege tables, especially, were to-
tally demolished. The peach orchard of Mr.. Sni-
ly, on the Lehigh Island the Reporter" says, suf-
fered immensely; some think the damages that Mr.
r, sustained to be not much short of $1,000. The
window glasses, in particular, were harshly dealt
with is supposed that not less than3000 were bro
ken by the hail. One man alone had $50 broken.
Trees were uprooted and several houses unroofed.

The PIainfield Bank.

AS some of our readers may be holders of notes
OF this institution, we copy the following from
Hicknel's Reporter, showing their probable value.
# we had any of its notes we should not put them
off at much below par. " JOS. G. Hornblower,
John S. Darcy, Joel Dunn and Daniel Dodd, Jr,
receivers for the creditors and stockholders of the
Plainfeld Bank, have recently published an inven-
tory of the assets of the Bank, their nature and
estimated value, with an account of the debts due
to and from the Bank /; from which we learn the
entire value of the assets to be $266,344 70, &C.
cording to the receivers estimate. The nominal
amount of assets is much larger The amount
due and owing by the Bank, as far as ascertained,
independent of the capital stock, is $I27,245 A
very large proportion of the assets are notes in
which the Messrs. Beach are liable, either as
drawer, endorser, or guarantee. II these notes
are good, the creditors of the Plainfeld Bank are
safe.

Of this Government, TO inquire wha, was do.

Of annexation. This gentleman wrote several
dispatches to the Government. which have
been published by Congress. In one OF these
he wriies--"The political limits OF Itras pro

Nueces river on the West; along the Red n

ASKING FOR WORK.

To me-speaking from my heart and record
ing my deliberate opinion on material that.
frail as il is, will long outlast my own fabric
there is something deeply affecting in the
spectacle OF young man in the prime Of
life and vigor. offering himself voluntary
slave in the labor market, without purchas-
er-eagerly proferring to barter the free use
OF his body, the day long exertion of his
strength, the wear and of flesh and blood,
bone and muscle, for the common necessaries
OF lite-earnestly craving for bread on the
penal conditions prescribed by his Creator,
and In vain--in vain Well for those who
enjov each blessing of earth, that there are
volunteers to work out the curse! Well for
the drones Of the social hive, that there are
bees of so industrious a turn, willing for an
infnltessimal share OF the honey 10 undertake
