MISCELLA NEOUS.
CrinOliana in Rhyme.
ny THE OLD MAN.

A lady with a crinoine was walking
down the street-her feathers nutered in
the air-her hoops stuck out feet. She
walked the earth as if she felt of it she
was no part, and proudly did she step
along, for pride was in her heart. She
did not see a curly dog which walked close
by her side, all save the bushy tail Of
which her crinoline did hide. His tail
the dog with pleasure shook-it huuered
in the wind, and from the lady's crinoline
stuck out a foot behind. A crowd the tail
did soon espy, as it waved to and fro, and
like a rudder seemed to point which way
the maid should go The curly dog right
pleased was he such quarters he had got,
and walked beside the lady in a kind Of
doggish trot. Each step the lady now did
take. served TO increase her train, while
those who followed in her wake roared
out with might and main. Some held
their sides they laughed so hard, ant
many fairly cried and many even still
confess that day they'd "ike to died,
But still the lady sailed along, in crinolin,
and pride, unmindful Of the crowd behind

ny A YOUNG mIsIIMAN.

ny YOUNG IpIsIMAN.
Look not upon the wrctchcd slave of wine
As one unworthy of tender thoughts;
His heart, tho darkencd now, was pure as
thine.
Before the demon his destruction wrought.
Lifc's ills came on, and slowly, day by day,
His life became burden to his soul
lie drank TO drive his bitter thoughts away,
And fell, alas a victim TO the bowl
OFT has he paused as friends have plead
"rcform,'
But o how sadly was the promise kept;
His bark too rrail for passions angry storm,
lie sank as pitying angels bent and wept.
We who love deeds of mercy to bestow,
Behold him sunk in degradation deep;
His history enough Of earthly woe
To call forth tears from eyes unused to
weep.
Perhaps he still may have a mother dear
A loving sister-or still nearer friend;
His backened vice will start the scalding tear,
His wrctchcdness their bosoms rend.
With quicllencd step he trcads the downward
course,
As one whose heart has never known fear;
Urged on by thirst, as by a whrlwind's force,
lie hastes to consummatc his mad career.
On earth he is The object of your scorn;
Loaded with guilt he sinks into the tomb;
There he must sleep till resurrection morn,
And only 'wakc to hear his final doom.
Behold yon gloomy church-yard's snow-capred
mound,
Ye Gods what brilliant hopes lie buried
there;
The body wrapt in slumbcr most profound,
The soul forever writhing in despair!
o grave thou great devourer Of my race,
What mysteries canst thou alone disclose
o! that all who approach to thy embrace
Might find within thy realm ''swcct
reposc."
o dark abyss! o gulph Of black desparl
Vain mani why did'st thou take this dircful
road?
Behold thy gloom no ray OF hope is there;
Mercy shall never enter thy abode
Methnks see the temple of Jehovah's ire,
With frey pillows curling round its dome,
see inscribed upon its door of fire
''Here is the Drunbard's long eternal home !"
There let him stay! and curse the sulph-rous
sea,
"He knew his duty, but he did it not =
Remorse will feed you through eternity
Revenge will never let him be forgot.
Ye who we stood beside the drunkard's bed,
And marked his anguish at departing breath;
Rescue the son before he too shall tread
The path that leads to ruin, shame and
death.
If thou would'st lend poor friends a helping
hand,
Or gain the favor Of our common Lord,
Then help to drive the tyrant from our land,
And you shall reap a rich and full reward

BlNED TIlRESHERS AND WINNOWERS,
CLOVER HULLERS AND CLEANERS,
WOOD SAVING MACHINES, DO.
TNHE undersigned having been twenty
L years engaged in building various kinds
of Horse Powers and Threshng Machines, feel
confident, from past experience, and the nu.
merous testimonials they are receiving from
all parts of the country of the superiority of
their machines, that they can give satisfac,
ton to all who may favor them with orders.
Our Horse Powers are made strong and SO
geared that 1t requires the team to travel
only about ! Z miles per hour to tbresh dry
grain, thereby making it suitable to work
either horses or cattle on them.
Our Threshers and Threshers and Winnow-
ers are so constructed rs to discharge all the
grain and dust through the machine, and not
into the feeders face as is usual with other
kinds.
The Thresher and Winnower has revolv-
ing wire separator, which does its work more
perfectly than can he done in any other way.
The Separator (Riddle) has a fork straw
shaker, which shakes the grain out of the
straw as it passes from the Thresher.
We warrant these machines to suit the pur.
chaser upon trial. or they can be returned
and the money refunded.
