The Man and the Vine.

In one of the early years of the world,
man began to plant vine, and Satan saw
it, and drew near.
"What plantest thou, son of the earth?"
said the prince of demons.
A vine," replied the man.
Oh, it's fruit is pleasant to look at,
and delicious to taste; from it is produced
liquid which fills the heart with JOY"
"Well, since wine makes glad the heart
of man, [ will help thee plant this tree"
SO saying the demon brought lamb
and slew it, then lion, then, an ape, and
last of all pig, killed each in succession,
and moistend the roots of the tree with
the blood.
Thence it has happened ever since,
that when a man drinks small portion
of wine he becomes gentle and caressing
as lamb; after little more, strong and
bold as lion; when he takes still more
he resembles an ape in his mischievous
actions, but when he has swallowed the
LIQUID to excess, he is like a hog wallow-
ing in the mire.

Looking Very Far into a Mill
StOue.

"The three wise men," not of Gotham,
but of the Keystone, have discovered a
mares nest. In the last number there is
the following announcement:
SIN the event of ScoTT's election, JOHN
sToN will certainly receive Cabinet ap-
pointment, or his friend STEVENS will be
Postmaster General In either case the
patronage of the National Government
would be at the disposal of the Abolition
leaders in this State, and there are thou
sands of honest Wings who will never
vote to produce such result. This is
the tenor Of our information from all quar-
ters."
If Johnston be appointed to seat in
the Cabinet or Stevens be made Postmas-
ter General, democratic Senate will
share in the appointment, for the Senate
must act upon, and either confirm or re-
ject all the important nominations of the
Executive. There Is, however, no foun-
dation for even the slightest rumour that
either Gov Johnston or Thaddeus Stevens
will be an applicant for an appointment
In the event of Pierce's election, he will
be indebted to Martin Van Buren, John
Van Buren, Preston King, Benjamin F.
Butler, Robert Rantoul, David Wilmot
and Bryant of the New York Evening
Post, all well known anti-slavery men,
or Abolitionists. Martin Van Buren and
John never work for mere love to either
principles or men. They have made
their bargains with Pierce, and they and
their Abolition friends will command the
patronage of the Government. The Key
stone is working hard, but it can not get
the Harrisburg Post ofice.-B0meb-sAeH.

Ten Years AGO,

We are astonished when we cOntem
plate the changes which have been efec-
ted in the course Of ten years! How rap
idly the sweeping tide of time rolls on!-
The morning of life passes-of like dream
and we look round in vain for the COM
panions of our youthful days. Where
are the gay, the beautiful, the happy, with
whom we once sported in the sprightli
ness of youth and buoyancy ofenjoyment
They were here; we knew them; We loved
them; we rejoiced with them down times
sunny stream with pleasures fragile bark;
but where are they now? Alas. they
have gone before us; the whirlwind of
death drove them rapidly onward, and
they are now sailing on eternity's wide,
shoreless sea. The scenes of our child
hood, too, fade away, and soon, not a
vestige of them is left as token that they
have existed! Times stupendous wheel
is ever rolling on. Ten years more, and
where will we be? Our present friends,
our present companions, will they still be
here? No: they may be scattered far "a
way; strangers, and in strange land.
Ten years, and the aspect of things to
many, very many, will be changed. The
pale, emaciated miser, that now bends O.
yer his useless gold, (the wreck of ruined
families, and the last remains of forlorn
wretchedness) where will he be? He
and the beggar whom he drives from his
door, will have gone to their long homes;
his wealth will have passed into other
hands. Ten years, and the student who
is now poring over volumes, and seeking
with such avidity for knowledge, will have
acquired, and perhaps, forgotten it. The
lovely maiden, whose mind and person
are just matured-she is beautiful-she is
happy-pleasure beams in her counten-
ance, and JOY sparkles in her eye; with
a light foot and lighter heart, she steps
upon life's stage; but, alas, ten years, and
this lovely being will be indeed changed
tho bright, fascinating smile no longer
plays upon her cheek-her once laughing
eye speaks deeper of misery now than ey-
er it did of pleasure. Ten years, and
what is now beautiful, will have faded
like the morning flower. Ten years, and
many that sport in the sunshine of pros
perity, will be wrapped in misfortune's
gloomiest shade. Ten years and the man
of business will have settled his "fnal ac-
count" the fool will have grown wise, ,and
the wise will have discovered his igno-
rance The Atheist will have found out
his mistake. and the Christian will have
realized his hopes.

The Irishman and the Deacon.

A few months ago, as Deacon ingalls,
of Swampseot, r. l., was travelling in the
western part of the State of New-Y ork,
he fell in with an Irishman who had Just
arrived in this country, and who was in
quest Of brother that came on before
him and had settled in some of the dig
gings of that vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man; true
Catholic, and had never seen the interior
of Protestant church. 1t was plea
SAINT Sabbath morning that brother In
gals met Pat, who inquired for the road
to the nearest church.
Ingalls, was good pious man. He
told Pat he was going to church himself,
and invited his new made acquaintance to
accompany him thither, his place of des-
tination being small Methodist meeting
house near by. There was great reviy-
al there at that time, and one of the dea-
cons (who, by the way, was very small in
stature invited brother l. to take seat
in his pew. He accepted the invitation
and walked in, followed by Pat, who
looked in vain to find the alter. &c. Af-
ter he was seated, he turned to brother
l. and in whisper which could be heard
all around inquired
Sure, and isn't this hereto church,
'Hushr said ingalls,, if you speak a
loud word they will put you out
'Divil word will [ speak at all at all,
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with a prayer
by the pastor. Pat was cycling him close
ly; when suddenly an old gentleman who
was in the pew directly in front of Pat,
shouted glory.
'His-st ye noisy divil, rejoined Pat
with his loud whisper, which was heard
by the minister, 'be dacent, and don't
make balckguard of yourself
The parson grew more and more fer
vent in the deyotions. Presently the dea-
con uttered an audible groan, 'His-st, ye
blackguard have ye no decency at all at
alp said Pat, at the same moment giving
the deacon a punch in the ribs, which
caused him to lose his equilibrium.-The
minister stopped, and extending his hand
in a supplicating manner, said
'Brothern, we cannot be disturbed in
this way. Will some one be kind enough
to put that man out?'
yes, your riveranee,' shouted Pat, Il
will.
And suiting the action to the word, he
collared the deacon, and to the utter hor-
ror and astonishment of the pastor, broth
er Ingalls,, and the whole congregation,h he
dragged him through the aisle, and with
a tremendous kick posteriori, as the
logicians say, he landed him in the yes
tibule of the church.

A Good One.

Ludicrous blunders will occasionally
occur in cases where ignorant persons at
tempt the use of language about which
they know nothing. The following is 8
case in point
Not long since, while travelling from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, two queer speci-
mems of the female sex came on board of
the boat at one of the landings, who for
the sake of distinction, we will call Mary
and Jane. Now Mary had cut her eye
teeth, or, in other words, was acquainted
with the rules and regulations which gov
ern genteel society. Jane, the younger,
had never mixed to any great extent, and
was therefore in blissful ignorance as to
any of the rules which govern more re-
fined persons. Her language, too, was
only such as she heard among her rustic as
sociates. Mary was aware of this fact, and
had therefore cautioned her to observe how
she Mary acted, and to govern herself
accordingly. Jane promised implicit o.
bedience. Shortly after, while seated at
the dinner table, the waiter asked Mary
what part of the fowl she would have. She
informed him, in very polite manner,
that it was perfectly immaterial.' He
accordingly gave her piece, and then in
quired Of Jane what part she would choose.
The simple-minded girl replied, with all
the self-assurance imaginable,
| believe I'll take piece of the ANNA
teriaL too.
The scene that followed this declara-
ton is beyond our pen to describe The
assembled company were compelled to
give vent to their surcharged feelings in
peals of boisterous laughter; whilst the
poor girl, her face sufused with crimson
bushes, left the table, declaring as she
fed to the ladies' cabin, they won't ketch
me abord on of those pesky steamboats,

Potatoes.

The high price of potatoes for the last
two years, has caused great increase in
the production of them in many parts of
this state Last year the number of acres
planted was exceedingly large; but it bore
no comparison with the number planted
this year, Those farmers who raised this
crop largely last year and year before,
made great deal of money. We have
heard of single farmers who sold in the
Spring large quantities, ranging from A.
600 up to 10000 bushels. They COM
mand high prices varying from 90 cents
to 81 20. Whether the immense plant
ing of this season will break down the
price next winter, remains to be seen.

our farms free from noxious weeds. The

QUICK WoRK.-Mr. David Platt, of
Westport, Conn, felt the necessity of bull
ding large barn upon his premises, and
wished it completed in hurry. He ac-
cordingly, one morning, went at it, en-
ploying all the builders, painters, &C., in
his neighborhood. The lumber, in its
rough state, was carted to the ground, the
frame made and raised, the doors all fin
ished, the whole building erected and
properly painted, quantity Of rye drawn
in from the field, threshed on the barn
floor, sent to mill, brought home and made
into bread, taken to the new barn and de-
voured by the builders, all between sun
and sun the same day, and in the evening
they had jolly time over their extraor-
dinary days work.
This may appear like a Charm story"
but is true nevertheless, as we have it
from reliable source, and had the plea
sure of seeing the wonderful barn. Some

BG- Ladies who cultivate parlor flow
ers, will gratefully receive the following
recipe for destroying very troublesome
reptile Worms in pots may be easily
destroyed, simply by watering the soil
with lime-water, which may be made by
putting piece of lime weighing about
two pounds, into a pail of water: when
the whole is well Stacked and well stirred
up, it should be allowed to settle The
clear water may then be turned of, and
the soil in the pot should be well watered
with it. The worms will soon leave the
premises by crawling on the surface,
when they may be taken off and destroy
ed If any remain, another watering
may be applied. We have never found
any difficulty in destroying them by this
