E4" Porter's Spirit Of the Times "
speaketh as follows upon a subject in
which several persons may be supposed
to feel some interest:
Through the failure Of the grape in
France and the immense consumption of
the article of brandy in this country, not
one twentieth part of the demand made
upon France can be supplied; and as the
major part of this demand is for high
priced brandy, it will at once DO seen,
what perilous stuff, even the most fasti-
dious and careful drinkers are obliged to
swallow. The only safe course is, there
fore, to abstain from calling for brandy
altogether. There is but little good in
IL, even when it is best; and it has been
saddled upon us, as a national drink, in
place of the comparatively harmless bev-
erages chosen by other nations, by a
school of rcd-faced old cocks, who with
the profundity, if not the sobriety Of
oraclcs, yoked our nccks years ago, with
the notion that little brandy was the
best thing in the world for the stomach,
especially after eating oysters---a double
failacy, as has long ago been proved. =
We, therefore, advise that brandy be
permitted to 60 out Of fashion--at least
while it is out Of the country-and if
we must have a national drink, let US
followthe example Of the nation which
brandy for us, and adopt
some thing as a daily beverage that is,
at least, shade lighter than hell fire"

THE POOR MANS GRAVE.

No sable pail, no waving plume,
No thousand torchlights to Hume,
No parting glance, no heavenly tear,
Is seen to fall upon the bier.
There is not one Of kindred clay
To watch the coffin on its way
No mortal form, no human breast
Cares where the pauper's dust may rest.
But one deep mourner follows there,
Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer;
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap,
IT'S he who was the poor mans mate,
And made him more content with fate
The mongrel dog that shared his crust,
Is all that stands beside his dust.
He bends his listening head as though
He thought TO hear that voice below
He pines to hear that voice so kind,
And wonder how he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food-he needs no home
But stretched along the dreamless bed,
With doleful howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polished marbles tell;
For temples built on church-yard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with uadimed eyes,
The mourning dog that starves and dies
Who would not ask, who would not crave
Such love and faith to guard his grave!

A Home Without a Father,

What is home without father? Sad,
dreary and cherries. 1 have sung in
days gone by, days when I was merry
and light-hearted, "What is home with
out a mother p though l did not realize
its meaning. But l have realized, from
the very depths of my soul, that home
without father is lonely, gloomy and
mournful beyond description. Two
weeks from to-day he sat by the fire, and
we were all happy then. But now he
sleeps the sleep thatknowsn no waking"
" At twilight's soft and pensive hour"
we gather round the old hearth, and lis
ten to the cracllle Of the glazing fire but
it has ceased to be cheerful. No sound
is heard but the wailing of our mourn
ing mother, or the prattle of our sweet
little sister, asking in childish accents, eff
papa has gone to live with God" The
family circle is broken, and our dear
father has been borne to that land from
which no traveller returns. Now that
he has gone how every little kind act,
every approving smile, and every word
of kindness is remembered with fondness.
We remember, too, how happy his
laugh would ring out, as seated around
the supper table he would relate some
amusing anecdote. But it pleased our
Father who is in heaven, to release his
spirit from its house of clay, and take it
to its eternal home. The last enemy,
which is Death, came with his scythe,
and hard and heart-rending was the
struggle between them. But death was
the strongest, and in few short hours
those sparkling eyes that looked on us
with delight, were closed forever; those
hands which had clasped our own with
such warmth and affection, were cold and
stiff; and that heart that had loved US 50
fondly from earliest infancy, was pulse
less and stilled in death. We buried
him near our own Forest Home. As !
stood by the grave, and heard the frozen
clods fall on his coffin, | thought what
sorrow can be greater than this
Now he sleeps on the cold hilltop,
where the January wind howls and
shrieks among the branches of the state
ly oak that stands near by, as if to pro-
tect that sacred spot from the wild freaks
of too rough winters blast. " Home IS
home, be it ever so homely." But oh !!
how sad to know we have home with
out d father i-P. Farmer.

BUCKEYE CLOTHES WASHER,

Ilc.. CHAs. Mason, the Commissioner Of
Patents, has very recently said the principle on
which this Mashina Machine is constructed,
is the only one for effective and thorough wash

This is high recommendation, but the praises
lavished upon these machines by the tens of
thousand persons using them in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other Eastern and North
ern States, arc ofmuch greater value
Ten or dozen shirts, or their equivalent in
other clothes, may be washed in from three TO
six minutes according to the state ofthe clothes
and degree Of preparation without as much
injury to them as in the ordinary washing by
hand--a button or hook and eye being rarely
if ever broken ofi--the process being nearer TO
the working by hand than any other. 1t is
very substantial and durable--simplc in con-
struction and easy to work. and has attached

The 0LD-LINE WINGS. AT u meeting
of the democrats of Lewis county, Ken
lucky, held at Clarksburg last week. the
following, among other resolutions, was
adopted
ReSol0cd, That we acknowledge tho
services of the old-line wings, who rose
superior to party trammels and aided US
in the election of Buchanan and Brock
inridge over black republcanism and
know-nothingism, for their services, and
acknowledge them as brothers and CO.
workers in the preservation of the Union
and the national constitution"
The Cecil md Democrat, speaking
of the patriotic services of the old-line
wings during the late Presidential CAM
paign, holds the following language:
"The democratic party feels grateful
to its wing conductors for their timely
and generous relief in the gloom and
peril Of the last campaign against an un-
righteous combination Of fanatical Sec
tionalism, disunionism, and false Ameri-
canism; and it will attest its gratitude by
a generous confidence and cordiality
which knows no distinction between
wings and democrats who stood shoulder
to shoulder in the late memorable con-
test, battling for the maintenance Of tho
Union and the constitution. Let tho
bond of union be strengthened between
them. They have but one faith in refer
once to the great leading issues of tho
times; why should they be separated. -
Olden prejudices have been buried in tho
.omb Of the past; let them be forgotten;
md henceforth, with one faith and ono
good of our common coun-
ry---let them cling together until their
common enemy be placed beneath their
eet."

LEAyITT,s LATEST IMPROVED
CORN AND cob MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

UyHE attention Of the Farmers of
Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MIL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal--IIorse feed gen.
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use Of ground
food, because Of its more easy and complete
digestion.
Ii is now well known that working animals
for the same reason. are kept in good. condition
at less cost. by the use of food SO prepared.
But while these principles Of true economy are
SO generally understood, many have been I'M
Willing to procure suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mill, in
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such ~ the Little Giant,

In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection il entirely obviated, as it is n Permanent

The Mill each bolted on with three small bolts,

minutes at a cost ofonly So.
We name among the 0thcr advantages lhls
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills

grinding is done by simply turning one central
Get screw. The meal instead OF being scattered
around as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
of the sweep as a balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all Others OF
the kind.
This min wfil grind from to 20 bushels per
honr. according to lineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50, including an extra set OF grind
ing places making it equal TO two ordinary

The cabinet officers whom he has chosen
are just such as the republic needed at
this moment, and with whose selection
tho whole country will, and ought to bo
more than satisfied, They are all able
and tried mer, and each OF them, on diff
ferent grounds, may well claim the re-
spect and confidence of their feilow-citi-
zens. They need no commentator at
my hands, aud it would be justly viewed
as presumptuous in me to undertake q
specific delineation of their virtues and
qualifications. This, though l hope to
be pardoned for saying thaS such a cabi-
net as Mr.. Buchanan has formed, with
such man as Lewis Cass, of Michigan,
at its head, and such political views as
are announced in the inaugural, should
command universal confidence, and gives
most gratifying assurance that for the
next four years at least the republic will
be in the enjoyment of complete repose
that its great domestic interests will be
carefully guarded and assiduously promo
ted, and the honor of the American ma
ton be wisely and fearlessly maintained
in every quarter of the globe.
Such are my deliberate views; and I
have, therefore, no hesitation in declar-
ing that | can see no propriety in at
tempting to keep up the distinctive or
ganization Of the American party either
California or elsewhere At any rate.
whatever may be the action of others, /
shall myself yield to Mr.. Buchanan and

support as it would have been possible for

Remarkable Fountain In Florida.


Taking a narrow path, crossed thro'
some dense underwood, and all at once
stood on the banks OF the WakuIla
Spring. There was basin of water
one hundred yards in diameter, almost
circular. The thick bushes we're almost
growing to the waters edge, and bowling
their heads under the unrippled surface
I stepped into skiff and pushed Off
Some immense fishes attracted my atten-
ton, and | seized a spear to strike them
The bcatman laughed, and asked me how
far below the surface / supposed they
were. / answered about four feet. He
assured me that they we're at least TWEEN

water is Of the most marvellous transpa-
rency dropped an ordinary pin in the
water, forty feet deep, and saw its head
with perfect distinctness, as it lay on the
bottom. As We approached the center,
I noticed Jagged grayish limestone rock
beneath us, pierced with holes; through
these holes one seemed to look into I'M
fashionable depths. The boat moved
slowly on, and now we hung trembling
over the edge of the sunken cliff, and
far below it lay dark, yawning, unfath-
ENABLE abyss. From its gorge comes
pouring forth, with immense velocity, a
living river.
Pushing on just beyond its mouth, I
dropped ten-cent piece into the water,
which is there one hundred and ninety
feet in depth, and ! clearly saw it shining
on the bottom. This seemed incredible.
] think the water possesses a magnifying
power. | am confident that the piece
could not be so distinctly seen from a
tower one hundred and ninety feet high.
We rowed on towards the north side, and
suddenly VIC perceived in the water the
fish which we're darling hither and thither,
the long flexible roots, and the wide,
luxuriant grasses on the bottom, all ar
rayed in the most beautiful prismatic
hucs. The gentle swell occasioDed by
