thus:
"Thou shalt not commit unsuitable matrimonv
nor covet Single blessedness:' nor forget absent
maidens nor neglect thy first love'-but thou
shalt consider how faithfully and patiently she
covereth each episte that thou sendeth with kisses
of kindly welcomc-until she hath thvself. Neith-
er shalt thou covet thy neighbours wife, nor triAe
with the affections of his daughter, vet if thy
heart be free, and thou dost love and covet each
other, thou shalt pop the question like a man,
lest another, moe manly than thou art, should
step in before thee, and thou love her in vain, and
in the anguish of thy hearts disappointment, thou
shalt quote the language of the great, and say,
sich is lie" and thy future lot be that Of poor
lonely, dcspised and comfortlcss bachelor"

BORDEN & McLEAN's PATENT SEED PLANTER
The days Of invention will never case. Often the
most simple invention will produce the greatest
results. An invention isto be approved, rather
than condemned for its simplicity, and it is with
this view principally that We notice the one be-
fore US.
1t consists in fastening to the handle of hoe
about foot from the end to which the hoes is at
tached, an elptical tin box containing about a
quart of the corn or seed to he planted. From
this box wire with leather loop at the end ex-
tends to the point where the lower hand grasps
the handle. A slight twitch upon the wire throws
out the required number of seeds ready for COW
cring. Taken together it is the most simple APP
paratus We have seen for long time, and We
should suppose it would prove a most valuable
one to the farming interests.
Persons who wish further information or to get
the patent right, will address w. ii. Trusdall,
Esq, at Elgin, ILL., Chicago Dem. Press.

A HORRIBLE SITUArIoN.-Mr. Friedland, the

Railroad, at the time Of the late accident, says ::
'sThe mail Car took fire the 6rst, and rapid
ly did the flames progress, that in less than TWEEN
ty-five minutes the entire train was reduced to a
heap of snoulderny ruins. Mr.. f. saws he dis
tinctly heard and recognized the voice of Mr..
Daughtrey, the Mail Agent, also of young Octa-
vius Cooke, who pleaded most pitcously to be re-
leased from their horrible situations. There was
no axe at hand to cut them loose, nor could a
bucket be obtained to throw water into the burn
ing car, so he used his hat, and poured the water
until the flames became so intense, he was COM
PEELED to desist. lie says the cries of the victims
were indiscribablc, and the memory of them can
