A man had been drinking until late

Honest folks had long been in bed, and
the houses were all shut and dark. The
liquor he had taken was too much for
him; he did not know where to go. He
at last staggered into an empty wagon
shed, and fell upon the ground. For a
long time he lay in the unconsciousne IS
of drunken sleep, and would have un-

yous for the hogs, which rushed out as
soon as the newcomer arrived, but soon
returned to their bed. In the utmost
kindness, and the truest hospitality, they
gave their biped companion the middle
of the bed, some lying on either side OF
him, and others acting the part of the
quilt. Their warmth prevented him
from being injured by this exposure
Towards morning he awoke, finding
himself comfortable, and in bliseful ig.
norance of his whereabouts, he suppos.
ed himself enjoying the accommoda,
lions of tavern. in company with Other
guests. He reached out his hand, and
catching hold of the stiff bris,les of a
hog, exclaimed, "Why, mister, when
did you shave iasf?"

with gold coin. A chain of twenty and
fifty dollar gold pieces reaches from his

The widespread circulation and ae-
knowlsdged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions AMI elabor-
ate puifery unnecessary. They are known
and read in every corner Of our county,
and are as household words in the mouths
of those who pretend to judgment in Lit
erature or taste in Art. Tha pens Of our
most accomplished writers. as well as the
BURNS of the ablest Artists. are enlisted TO
eerich and adorn their pages and ALL THAT
is NOW FAMOUS IN LETTKRs OR BEAUTIFUL
IL ENGRAvINGs, in the world OF periodical
literature, is owing to the fostering care
and lavish expense Of these two prominent
American periodicals.
Their Imitators fail always
In equallng them, for want Of public sup
port, and the poor dupcs who are led to
subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year TO dilude the
public, with promises Of wind and words
of sound, find that
these well Established Works
Are, as yet, the only reliable sources to
which they can look for a faithful perform
ance of all contracts entered into with sub
scribers.
The Publishers Of Cooley" and "Gfa-
ham" have determined, that for 1853, they
will surpass in the CHEApSEss, ELgGANcs
and MERIT of their periodicals, all that has
ever been attempted, and as the works are
dissimiar, have resolved to place BOTH
within the reach of ALL, who desire to keep
thoroughly posted up in the rapidly im-
proving
Periodical Literature Of the Age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature
and Art, will be found in their ample and
greatly multiplied pages. and they chal-
lenRe the world to excel or equal tho
