 MERRIMAN'S ESTABLISHENT. TENHE proprietor of this store which has been A in operation for the space of nearly nine years, gratifed that his efforts to serve the con- munity have been i'll great degree appreciated, and sensible that if any one can say he has lost through any dealings in his store he, the proprie- tor, can say, truly and very feengly that such losses have never occurred through wiiful or deliberate intention on his part, nor have they ever, in any particular, accrued to his benefit sensible also that if any one is disposed to charge him with want of accommodation he is very little acquainted with the innumerable small loss- es he has incurred by the exercise of this very accommodating spirit, exercised indeed so much as to have become weaknes-is willing now, and hopes to continue willing to serve the con- munity in a faithful and diligent manner, pro- yidng that his losses through the aforesaid spirit | of accommodation do not increase upon him so rapidly as to make 1t necessary for him to re- linquish altogether. He will repair Watches, Clocks, Jewelry and Silverware in the mosl tasty and faithful manner-he will indeed do all most any kind of work--any kind--being pro- gressive in skill and knowlege, he thinks now that he could accommodate even that facetious German friend of his, whom once, with his ''lit- tie tog," he was obliged to send away unaccom modated; indeed he gives most particular atten- ion to everything entrusted to him. The aw- ful strife that has been going 'for years,' not as to the best watch but the cheapest, the sub- scriber cheerfully resigns to the adjudication of his old friend Clark, fully convinced that in his hands the cause with all it's complicated impor- tance will receive ample justice.
 The subscribers ambition, with or without a motto, is to beneft the public well as himself: that every one whom he shall have the pleasure of dealing with may be fully satisfied of this, he humbly hopes. HERMAN, ! Matchmaker and Jeweler.

EHOR years the strife has been not who could E1 make the best Watch, but who could make the cheapest, rather the lowest priced article, which is not always the cheapest and conse- quently the great falling off in the quality Or watches.

So prayed the psamist to be free
From mortal bonds and earthly thrall
And such, or soon or late, shall be
Full oft the heart -breathed prayer of al;
And when life's latest sands we rove,
Wish lalterng foot and aching breast,
Shall sigh for wings that wait the dove,
To flee away and be at rest.
While hearts are young and hopes are high,
A fairy dream doth life appear
Its sights are beauty to the eye.
It's sounds are music to the ear
Bnt soon it glidos from youth to age;
And Of its joys no more possessed,
We like the captive ofthe cage.
Would flee away and be at rest.
Is ours fair womau's angel smile,

So of her cheek and eye the while,
Time steals the rose and dims the ray
She wandars in the spirit land,
And we, with speeches. grief oppressed,
AS Ger The moulderiAg fosft we stand,
Would gladly share her place Of rest
Beyond the hills, beyond the sea,
Oh, for the pinions of a dove!
Oh, fer the mornings wings to flee
Away and be with those Lowell
When all is fled that's bright and fair,
And life is but wntry waste,
This, this at last must be our prayer
To flee away and be at resto

TIE OLD MAN,

A venerable old man whose sivery head tells
OF the irosts OF n.any winters may be seen dur

terlng along the streets Of Lawrenceburg lean
ing heavily on his cane for support OF his wea-
red limbs. The cid man is very poor now, but
he once was lich He agqs a tather-a kind and
tender father. He loved his children. He gave
his wealth 70 his SONS to make them happy he
reserved nothing for himself-he required Moth
ing but to live with his children, and die in
peace upon their oosoms. The children all ap-
peared grateful the old man was happy. But
ere long things changed, and the simplest wish
of the father uncared for he was consider
ed childish and troublesome ; his most common
wants We're neglected, even decent food was de-
MEG hln-hls clothes We're getting ragged and
| filthy. He asked them if such treatment was
gratitude, and he; a parent, wept before his
sous. In reply to his sobs and entreaties for
protection, they turned him from their house
once his own ! A father was driven from be-
meath the roof of his children he sought the
house Of a good Samaritan, who took him in,
and now iii quiet and i'll peace he has found a
home, refused By his own blood, in the family
OF stranger.
This is not fietion. Alas for poor human
nature, it is too true The facts, and the gentle
man under whose charitable protection the old
man now is, are well known in Lawrenceburg
The protector OF the unfortunate sire is himself d
poor man, but he is young and has noble heart

This is all true We are acquainted with the
persons to whom our friend Folbre REFERS Old

deserted him, and john F. Richards, Esq, is the

summer the old man lived at Dover, when the

SAVING COOP Sales.--future is nothing Oh
which the farmers success depends more than
in having good seed and there is no branch in
which he may make Improvements at SO cheap
rate, It is in the power of every cultivator to
improve his seeds by judicious selection, and
ne can do it with CONVENIENCE and with pleas
'ure too, if he will enter into the business with
proper spirit and zeal
By selecting few excellent seeds, and man
aging them with care, an abundance may soon
be obtained, which will suffice for the whole
farm, and perhaps some to spare at good price
One ear of superior wheat, corn or other grain.
or one potato, OF other root, would, with proper
management, soon produce sufficient seed for
whole. acres, This view of the subject shows
how cheap Improvements may be made in this
