he was after, but | had long before made up
my mind not to purchase a Yankee clock up
on any terms whatever. He tried me a long
time, offering me any Terms | might ask, but
! told him ] was determined not to purchase
that we had no use for a clock; that we could
tell the time Of day well enough for our pur-
poses by the SUMMARY on the floor, and that
on cloudy days we could tell by our feelings
when it was time to eat.
When he found that | would not buy, he
asked me to let him set up one Of his clocks
until he came this way again. But | knew
that was one of their old tricks, and 20 | re-
fused to let him set up his clock.
Finding he. could do nothing with me,
he drove on. He had not been gone long
before he returned, saying his horse was sick,
and the roads were so hard, and his load so
heavy, he was afraid he would not be able TO
get along without he lightened his wagon
He again asked me, as a great favor, to let
him set up one Of his clocks in my house
until he returned, saying he did not want me
TO buy the clock, but only wanted to tighten
his wagon as much as possible on account of
his sick horse.
a. suspected him even then, but his horse
did look badly, and | felt sorry for the fellow,
SO | consented on condition that he would
not ask me to purchase it on his return. He
thanked me very much, and said that, to prove
he did not want me to buy the clock, he would
give il to me if, on his return, he asked me
TO purchase il. So he set up the clock. and
set it a running, and gave me particular d.
%rections how to keep it in order.
"After the Yankee left us, every thing
about the house was done by the clock. My
wife regulated all her business by the clock.
The meat was put in the pot to boil at a Ger.
tain hour, and dinner was always on the Ia
BILE just as the clock struck twelve.
when the clock struck nine we all went
10 bed, and cot up as the clock struck five.
THE preacher often preached at our house,
because he could tell at what hour to com
mence. and when TO stop, so as to let the peo.
pie get nome before dark. Every day some
of the neighbors would stop at our house to
learn The time Of day. In short, nothing was
done about the house without consulting the
clock. My wife went SO far as to say that
when | was away from home, the clock was
company for her.
about six months afterwards | was sit
ting at my door one afternoon, when who
should drive up but the Yankee clock pedlar.
"He SAID he had come for his clock, and
had but a few minutes TO stay, for he wanted
to get as far as possible on his way hat eve-
ming.
''You never saw such a huLbub as there
WIS ia our house. My wife declared she
could not get along without the clock. She
said that she would never know when to do
any thing. The children commenced cry
ing, and begged the not to let the clock 60.
"The Yankee stood by, only saying that
he was in a hurry, and wanted to box up his
clock as soon as possible.
1.-The short of the matter is, that | was
compelled to buy the clock. | gave the
Yankee thirty dollars in cash for it, and that
took every dollar | mad been saving for the
last year to enter my land"

there was a wedding coming Oft at the house,
and by the time the wood was unloaded,
quite a crowd had assembled TO witness the
ceremony.
..Jest line hands, said he to the young
couple. 1t was done accordingly.
.'l'm satisfied with both of ye," continued
he, ''you've a perfect right to get married."
and he united 'em in short order.

The Invalid.
BY W. D.

She came in Spring, when leaves were green,
And birds sang blithe in bower and tree,
A stranger, but her gentle mien
1t was a calm delight to see.
In every motion, grace was hers
On every feature, sweetness dwelt;
Thoughts soon became her worshippers-
Affections soon before her knelt.
She bloom'd through all the summer days,
AS sweetly as the fairest flowers,
And till October's softening haze
Came with its still and dreamy hours.
So calm the current of her life,
So lovely and serene its flow,
We hardly marked the deadly strife
Disease forever kept below.
But Autumn winds grew wild and chill,
And pierced her with their icy breath;
And when the snow on plain and hill
Lay white, she pass'd, and slept in death.
Tones only Of immortal birth
Our memory of her voice can stir;
With things too beautiful for earth
Alone do we remember her.
She came in Spring, when leaves were green,
And birds sang blithe in bower and tree,
And flowers sprang up and bloomed between
Low branches and the quickening lea.
The greenness of the leaf is gone,
The beauty of the flower is riven,
The birds to other climes have flown,
And there's an angel more in Heaven.

BY LUDY.

He sits in his chair from morning till night,
IT'S smoke, chew, smoke,
He rises at dawn his pipe to light,
Goes putting and chewing with all his might,
Till the hour of sleep. 'Tis his delight
To smoke, chew, smoke.
The guild goes in when his pipe goes out,
IT'S chew, chew, chew,
Now, a cloud OF smoke pours from his throat,
Then, his mouth sends a constant stream
afoat,
Sufficient to carry a mill or a boat.
lis chew, chew, chew.
He sits all day in a smoke or fog,
IT'S puff, puff, puff,
He growls at his wife, the cat and dog,
He covers with filth the carpet and rug,
And his only answer when | give him q jog,
Is puff, puff, puff.
Such a room, I'm sure, was ne'er seen before,

Guilds are scattered from door TO door,
With pipe stems the mantel covered Der,
Pig tail and fine cut strewed over the floor,
IT'S pipes, guilds, pipes.
The house all Ger, from end to end,
Is smoke, smoke, smoke;
In whatever room my way | wend;
IL l take his old clothes to patch and mend,
Ungrateful perfumes will ever ascend,
OF smoke, smoke, smoke.
At home or abroad, afar or near,
'Tis smoke, chew, smoke,
His mouth is stuffed from ear to ear,
Or putting the stump of a pipe so dear,
And his days will end, ! verify fear,
In smoke, smoke, smoke.

T0 TIE PUBLIC.

By the preceding notice Ii will be seen
that the Herald has passed into the hands
of lhc undersigned, by whom it will here
after be published.
In assuming the onerous and response
bic duties Of editor and publisher OF
public journal. sincere diflidence of my
own abilities to discharge those duties,
will deter me from making any promises
in advance as to the future character of
the paper. | may. however, be permitted
to say, that whatever can be effected by
an earnest and constant endeavor to make
it worthy the confidence of its friends
and deserving continuance OF the patron
AGE il has hitherto received, shall be done.
The political complexion of the Herald
will remain unchanged. twill continue,
as heretofore, to advocate the measures OF
the great Whig party Of the Union, not
merely because il is an organ Of that par
tv, but from deep and abiding convic-
ton Of the truth of its principles. 1t will
also, of course, continue its opposition to
Locofocoism and its measures, sincerely
believing them to be hostile TO the spirit
Of our free institutions, and destructive to
the interests and prosperity of the coun-
try. II shall be my constant aim to rem
der tnot only the earnest advocate Of the
political principles of the Wing party,
but also acceptable and useful TO the gene
raj reader-a family paper as well as
political organ.
The Whig nominees Of the March Con-
vention for Governor and Canal Com
missioner shall continue to be cordially
supported. II will be seen too. that VIC
have placed the name Of ZACHARY TAY-
LoR at the head Of our columns as candi-
date for President of the United States.
This we have done in accordance with
thc general feelings of the country, as
well as the specially expressed choice of
the Wings of this county. With his
name we have associated that of ANDREW
STEWART as Vice President. Gen. T. it
is ascertalned, we believe, beyond doubt
is Hhig, ga CLAY WING" The VIC
torious leader of our armies abroad, and
the champion Of our interests and indus
try at home, are therefore appropriately
placed side by side. These are our own
first choice. We hold ourselves ready
however, now and at all times, to abide
the decision of the will Of the people, anc
to yield our individual preferences TO il
when fairly expressed, should they no
coincide.
Regarding an efficient and thorough or
ganizatlon of the Whig party in thi
county as of the first consequence to ii
success, this paper will advocate the nom
inecs of the party. Measures will a
