The Turn of Life.

Between the years of forty and sixty
a man who has properly regulated him
self may be considered as in the prime of
lie. His matured strength of constltu-
ton renders him almost impervious to
the attack of disease, and experience has
given soundness to his judgment His
mind is resolute, firm and equal; all his
functions are in the highest order; he
assumes the mastery over business builds
up competence on the foundation he
has formed in early manhood, and passes
through aperiod Of life attended by many
qualifications. Having gone a year or
two past sixty, he arrives at a critical
period in the road Of existence; the
river of death flows before him, and he
remains at Il stand still. But athwart
this river is a viaduct called "The Turn
of Life" which, if crossed in safety,
leads to the VALLEY of Life" which, il
crossed in safety, leads to the valley Of
"Old Age" round which the river winds,
and then flows beyond without boat or
causeway to effect its passage.
The Bridge is constructed of fragile
materials, and it depends upon how it is
trodden whether it bend or break. Gout,
apoplexy, and other bad characters are
also in the vicinity to waylay the travel
er, and thrust him from the pass; but
let him grid up his loins, and provide
himself with a fitting staff, and he may
trudge on in safety with perfect compo-
sure. To quit metaphor. 'tho turn of
life" is a turn either into a prolonged
walk, orinto the grave. The system and
powers having reached their utmost ex-
pansion, now begin either to close like
flowers at sunset, or break down at once
One injudicious stimulaBt, single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond its
strength, whilst a careful supply of prop
pers, and the withdrawal Of all that
tends to force plant, will sustain it in
beauty and in vigor until extreme age
has entirely set in.

Those Real Irish p0plins

MADE to our order in Ireland, that we
4vl have been expecting for some weeks past
have this day arrived, in all colors, the shades
and quality Of which are unexceptionable.
The plain blacks and grays are selling very
fast, and we would suggest 10 those ladies that
have been waiting their arrival to call early
and make their selections.
Also in store, vast stock OF Dry Goods
complete in all departments, for general family
consumption. To all Of which our Northern
and Eastern correspondents send us daily adj
ditOns
One price only ; no deviation. Consequent
ly no person is Overcharged.
All bills presented July LIST will be settled be-
fore new ones are commenced.
The extent Of our trade renders IL undesra-
bic for us to open any new accounts, but very
desirable TO discontinue all bills that are not
settled promptly. This is not intended in any
hgurative sense.
Good articles, low prices, and fair dealing,
may be relied on in all cases

COMMERCIAL GRowTm or THE COUNTRY
We extract the following appropriate re-
marks, by Ex-President Tyler, upon the
commercial growth Of the country:
"Who can undertake at this day to
estimate, the probable amount of our
exports and imports at the end of the
present period Of twenty-five years p
Already trade, breaking through new
channels, begins to empty into our lap
the treasures Of India; and when the
great tide which bears that commerce
lpon it shall have set in, as il assuredly
will, you may measure the waters Of the
ocean, and count the stars in the frma-
ment, but arithmetic will fail H. the cf
fort to calculate the extent Of wealth
which will flow into our cities. Ancient
Tyre, but mere peninsula, enjoyed
rlvulct Of that trade, and she grew into
the most mighty Of cities. Venice and
Genoa, IN the course Of time, possessed
il; and their Doges proclaimed them the
bride Of the sea. But, sny yc, who
shall foretell the the future, ye venerable
seers, If any such there be now on this
earth what dowiy shall equal that of
America, when the Atlantic shall have
fully welded the Pacific z"

NJ Il RESPECTFULLY Inform the Farmers
w of Montgomery county that we have the
EXCLUSIVE AGENCY for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for 1856 and So
licit their early orders.
In buying McCORNICK'S REAPING AND
MOVING MACHINE, YOU MAKE NO EXPERT
MENT. 1t has been long in use and well tested.
The whole world knows it to be the best, most
complete acorking and thoroughly reliable Machine
an use.
1t is very substantially made, with heavy
wrought iron fnger-beam, serrated sicble-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to be ground /;
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land
ing It admirably on the platform to the Raker's
hand. 1t is easily adjusted to cut any height
Of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving a bolt. 1t does its work perfectly and
equally so, whether the grain be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at any rate
Of speed.
In Moving the Reel effectually clears the
fnger-beam of grass and other substances; thus
preventing the sickle from choking, leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir-
ing no other hand but the driver II cuts
swarth near six feet wide, and at a fair farm
work gait does the work of JfUe Graders and
mOWerS
In evidence of the entire satisfaction this ma
chine gives, we state, that OF the 1850 machines
of hands, and over the grain growing parts of
the United States, not single purchaser has
given Mr.. Mccormick an intimation Of wish
to return his machine.
