POWER OF IMAGINATIoN.-Eli
Barns, Of Pennsylvania, killed a rattle
snake il his field, without any injury to
himself, and Immediately after put on his
sons waistcoat, both being of one color.
He returned to his house, and on attempt
ing to button his waistcoat, he found that
it was much too small. His Imagination
was COW wrought to high pitch, and he
instantly conceived the idea that he had
been impercep.ibly bitten by the snake,
and was thus swollen by the poison. He
grew suddenly very ill, and took to his
bed The family in great alarm and con-
fusion, summoned three physicians, and
tie usual remedies were prescribed and
administered. The patient, however, grew
worse every minute, until at length his
son cane home with his fathers waiscoat
dangling about him. The mystery wa.
soon unfo!ded, and the patient, being
relieved from his imaginary apprehensions,
dismissed his physicians, and was restored
to health.

The Apprentice.

A young man was once apprenticed as
printer. He boarded at the house Of
his father, who was in easy circumstances,
but who required his son to pay his board
from the avails of special requisites which
furnished his fellow apprentices with a
liberal supply of funds for pleasure. This
the young man thought hard, but hen
he was of age, and master Of his trade,
his father calling him said, "Here my son
is the entire amount of money paid to me
for board during your apprenticeship. !
never intended to retain it give you as
much more as small capital to commence
business The wisdom of the old man
was now apparent to the son. His fellows
had contracted bad habits in the expendi-
ture of similar perquisites which his
father had withheld from him, and were
penniless in vice. He was able, with a
good character, to commence small
business, and he now stands at the head
of publishers in this country. Most of his
companions in apprenticeship are miserably
poor and degraded. CA hint for apprsn-
tices)

What Punctuality will do.

If Jerry Dilatory would pay US that
dollar that he owes US for small job We
did him year or two ago, or for the
balance of his paper account, We would
pay Mr.. Dry Goods the dollar we owe
him; he would pay Sam Vulcan for shoe
ing his horse Sam would pay Bob
Charcoal for his coal; Bob would paw
Joe Axeman for two days chopping; Joe
would pay Jack Grist for his last bag of
corn meal j.; Jack would pay Dr. E,cula-
Plus for the medicine that came so near
getting down. his child Doc. would
pay the widow Broom for her last two
days washing; she would pay Bill Grocer
the dollar she owes him Grocer would
pay Cooke upon Littleton" his fee for
council in the action of The State Of Ohio
VS.. Bill Grocer; Coke upon Littleton would
pay Peter Crispin for mending his boots
Peter would then 60 and pay Tim Haystack
the dollar he owes him on the hay that he
bought last week :; and Tim is such
good, honest soul, that we know he would
come right in and pay US the dollar he
owes US on subscription-and then We
could buy chicken, dozen of eggs,
half bushel of corn meal to make dodgers
and We, ourself, individually, our wife, and
our "todlin wee things" would "boast one
splendid banquet once year, and we
would have dime in our pocket.
But, because Jerry Diiatory is not
enough honest to pay, not one of those
debts can be paid, and We can not have
the feast of fat things at all. All! Jerry
Dilatory, you are the cause of all this
trouble. You prevent all this happiness.
1t requires all our forbearance to keep
US from giving you particular Jesse"
We feel as though we would like to take
a scythe and NOW down ten acre field Of
such men They are excresccnces on
society that mar its beauty clog its ener
gies, destroy its peace and waste its sub
stance
Still men are SO, and we suppose they
will stay so little while yet but We do
hope there is better time coming-a
time when to owe man and not pay him
will be considered akin to stealing-when
all will adopt the scriptural motto-''owe
no man any thing. ."-.MoysriWe Tribune.

JOHN BUNYAN AND MINCE-PIEs.-

JOHN BUNYAN AND MINCE-PIEs.-In
No. III Of Ch.mb bsrs' Journal it il chron-
icled that John Bunyan sc-uplsd TO eat
mince- pies, because Of the supsrstitious
character popularly attached to them ; but
it would appear from an anecdote sent to
US by e correspondent, that if this wss
true at all of the author of the Pi3yrinss S
Pyogress he must have received new light
upon the subject At later period of life.
When he was imprisoned for preaching

superstitious lady, thinking to entrap him,

a christmas pie; whereupon Bunyan re-
Piled: "Tell your mistress that l accept

to distinguish between = mince-Pie and
superstition"

eSr 1t is no longer matter Of doubt,
but a fixed fact, that we are to have an
Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations
in our midst. A number of articl,s have
already been imported, with the view OF
having them placed in the collection, and
we hear of other orders that have gone out
within the past fortnight, to Switzerland
France, and elsewhere, for manufactures
for the same object. Among the articles
already brought from abroad, we can not
forbear mentioning a carpet, fabricated in
Halifax, England, and which may be in
spected at the store of Belts, Selleck 4
Belts. The carpet is in square piece,
and measures about six yards in length,
and five yards in width. 1t is of Mosaic
pattern, and SO exquisitely wrought, that
the beholder instantly regards it, at first
sight, as a richly grouped painting on can
vass. We are informed, that in its fabr-
cation three thousand threads were used to
the square inch, and that the cost of the
article, of the dimensions stated, is over
$1,000 Three hundred colors are made 10
appear in the filing up Of the base, and
these, with the admirable perspective OBJ
served, and the correctness of chiarooscuro,
are really calculated to deceive the behol
der, who can not comprehend how such
marvellous effects can be conveyed to the
eye by the intricacies of thread, through
the agency of the loom. Those who have
visited the White House at Was hington,
on festive occasions, or general reception
days, can not but lave observed the carpet
on the floor of the East Room, the dimen-
sions of which exceed 200 yards This
carpet was considered the chef d'auore of
American skill, and was, while its eolors
retained their freshness and brilliancy, re-
garded with much pride and satisfaction
by every American who made it the sub
ject of remark We fear, however, that
our New England manufacturers will be
compelled to enlarge the compass of their
ingenuity, or otherwise the village Of Hal
fax, town almost unknown to geograph-
ers, will hereafter bear away the palm, not
only from the United States, but even
Persia, Belgium, Flanders, France and all
other countries and cities heretofore re-
nowned for the extent in art to which they
had carried their carpet wsaying.-N y

The Lost and Found.

| A few days since the following amusin,
incident took place in one of the numerou
hotels in this city:
A boarder and lodger, before lying dowr
after dinner for short time, in his room
took a very valuable diamond breastp;r
from his shirt bosom, wrapped it in paper,
placed it in drawer, then comfortably and
speedily made his trip into the land Of
Nod" After short nap, he arose, pre-
pared to go out, and looked for his breast
pin. The breastpin was gone
Determined not to lose so valuable a
piece Of property so easily, the gentleman
proceeded to inform the proprietor of the
hotel of the sudden and mysterious disap-
pearance of his goods and chattels The
proprietor asked him who the servant was
that waited on him The boarder-who
by the by, speaks only French-replied,
' Such one. He looks like French
man, but he does not speak the language"
"Oho :" thought the proprietor, " there is
something wrong' A note was sent to
we'll known officer Of police, informing
him of the circumstances, and also that
the waiter was Frcnchman who did not
speak French.
The officer came to the hotel The
waiter was sent for. Nothing had been
said to him about The pin or its loss He
was shown into a private room and intro
duced to the officer. The two were then
left alone.
The officer Immediately commenced the
conversation on different matters IN French.
The waiter, forgetting himself, replied in
the same language. The officer, in his
usual easy, calm, courteous way, proceeded
to give him the particulars of the loss of
the pin. He advised him to make a strict
search for it about the room where it was
lost. "You will soon be suspected of
knowing something about the manner of
its disappearance. Now l, for my own
part, have no doubt it has been dropped
somewhere about the room-the gentle
man, perhaps, let it fall, unknowingly,
into his basin whilst be was washing. The
contents of the basin would be thrown into
the slop bucket in all likelihood. Now if
you hunted around where the slop buckets
are emptied you might find the pin with
out any trouble. I'll be back at 1 o'clock
this afternoon. That will give you plenty
of time. Don't forget: look ueH 'chere
the slop buckets are emptied!" And the
officer went off, smiling and bowling.
In about half hour young clerk of
the hotel entered the proprietor's Office
and exclaimed, " Whmdo you think? 50
and so"-naming the French waiter
" has found .M IS breastpia IN the
place ,rhere tie slop buckets are en,pt'ed!
Isn't that strange?' "Very." said the
"rey strange! !"-[Ncc Or

Two DROMIOs IN THE RHODE ISLAND
LEGIsLATURE.-There are two brothers in
the Rhode Island Legislature, named
Christopher Columbus Potter, and Amer
ic.nus Vespueius Potter, who are 90 much
alike, that it is doubted whether either
knows himself from his brother. The
Providence Journal (Whig) says:
Whether they 90 into each others
houses, eat each others dinners, and pay
each others debts, We do not know
Whether if one of them should take
glass Of brandy-not that either of them
would do such thiDg-the other might
be tipsy, We can not say and whether if
one Of them should be very sick, the other
might not die by mistake, is a question
which We hope may not be solved in
long time. Both are members Of the
General Assembly-Christopher Wing,
and Americas Democrat and there will
be pretty muss when they get 10 New
port. Not soul in the house can tell
one from the other and the Democrats
will be running to Christopher, and the
Wings to Americus, with all the secrets
Of their respective parties. We have our
selves sometimes commenced political
convsr, a.ion with the Democr tic brother,
who always had the generosity to inter-
rupt us before We got upon dangerous
ground. Now, when we meet either, We
say, as We take his hand, '.Is this you or
your brother ~ If it be Christopher, he
says, 'it is |, and We talk about politics;
if it be Americus, he says, at is not lit
is my brother" and We talk about the
weather We should advise them to
wear badge around their hats, like the
railroad conductors but then they would
be sure to change hats, and that would
make it wores.'

THE WORLD HARVEST.

What shall the harvest Les
They are sowing their seed of pleasant thought:
In the ngs green light they have blihely wrought
They have brou-u. their tancies from wood and dell

Rare shall the harvest be.
They are sowing the seed of word and deed
Which the cold know not the careless heed
ofthe gentle word and the kindest ised,
That have blessed the heart in its sorest need.
Sweet shall the harvest be.
And some are sowing the seed of pain,
OF late remorse and maddened brain:
And the stars shall fail, and the sun shall wane,
Ere they root the weeds from their soil again.
Dark will the harvest be.
And some arc standing with idle hand,
Yet they scatter Seed their native land
And some sowing the seed of care,
Which their soil hath born and still must bear.
Sad will the harvest be.

A NEW Coal REGION ABOUT TO BE
OPENED.-A proposition is now before
the Legislature to authorize the Mahanoy
railroad company to build three foot
dam across the Susquehanna at the tsrmi-
nus of their road, twelve miles east Of
Sunbury, for the purpose Of making q
basin and connection with the Pennsylva-
MIA canal, for the purpose of sending to
market the fine free burning anthracite OF
that rich coal region. 1t is proposed TO
send to market two hundred thousand tons
of this coal next season, if this privilege
be extended to the company.
As this will add largely to our cana
revenues, develope coal region now shut
out from market, and people wilderness,
we trust the project will be favorably re-
ceived. The demand for coal is rapidly
increasing the Susqushanna region has
never yet been able to supply the section
of country nearest to it; and therefore
should there be the greater Inducements
held out to capitalists who are willing to
invest their money in our Susqushanna
coal felds.-Hdrrisbury Union.

AThe great machine for boring the
Hoosic mountain, Of which An aecoun I
was given some weeks ago in the Ledger,
is expected at Greenfield, Mass, in the
course of few days, and arrangements are
making at each town on the line of the
road to provide teams to get it from
Greenfield to the mountain. This will be
an interesting experiment, the successful
result of which will producea great change
in the laying out and construction Of rail
roads. If mountains may be tunnslled
without the enormous expense which has
heretofore been incurred, the inconveni-
snces and risks of inclined planes may be
altogether avoided.

a MAN OF "GREAr SrEAKs."-A
person has recently died in New York,
who probably comes as near to Mr. Web
ster's idea of man of "great steaks as
any other individual in this country.
John Shafer, of Montgomery county
N Y. who died few days ago; ged sixty
two, is described as follows, by the Rev.
Mr.. Rinehart The deceased was the
largest man we ever saw The coffin Was
sufficiently large to contain five men of
ordinary size, measuring in width three
feet four inches in the clear, and seven
feet in height. Three men could have
worked in it at the same time, with con-
venience. 1t required six men to take
him from the bed on which he expired.
This was done by raising platform,
removing the hcadboard of the bedstead
and taking him out endwise. They could
not get the coffin into the house but by
taking of door facing of an old vacated
house that stood in the yard, they got it
into that, and carried the corpse thither
on three empty bags. Awsggon and four
horses stood prepared, and ten men
placed the coffin and its contents upon it
In letting the coffin down into the grave,
they had two lines doubled, one at each
end, and one large we'll rope in the middle,
and seventeen men to let dc-n this great
sprinkle Of humanity into its last home
on earth. His weight was unknown.

''There was a time when advertising was
not of much benefit. That time, however
has passed. Now he who wants to do a
good business large business-can not
accomplish his purpose without using Of the
press. He may have signs-he may
display his goods-which arevery we'll for
every business man; but he can not reach
the peopls-hs can not speak to the masses,
unless he avails himself Of the columns Of
the newspaper press means the efficacy
of which it is useless to deny And yet
there never was q time when advertising
did not paw.
