TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeayor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
!. Yet in this age of glorious Art,
1--WE can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gid the name.
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
! Whose works are worthy of eXtolling,
Two model artists OF the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland d Jakelnan-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best OF Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their labor,
So now / invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

SATURDAY AFTERNooN.-O the above

do make the assertion without fear Of
contradiction, that Main ST. gra-
ced with more beauty on ,o,l
than it has ever been our l.. = -
ness, and furthermore We do assert that
no city in our Union according to its
size can present handsomer set of la
dies than Norfolk.
We noticed several gentie,Aen who
were standing near us, who are yet in a
state of celibacy, gazing upon the beauty
as it passed, and we were almost tempted
to ask them the state Of their feelings at
the time but through respect to them
and not wishing to bring to their minds
regrets ofthe past we declined saying
anything to them about the matter, but
now, bachelors, allow us to say Que word
to you: throw aside your present state OF
existence and join the matrimonial army.
We are going to do so just as soon as we
can succeed in finding one Of tho fair sex
that will ,Di'''sag to take reporter as

SOME years since. when all the world was
mad upon lotteries, the Irish cook of amid
dle-age single gentleman drew from his
hands her earrings and savings for some
years. Her employer was anxious tc
know the cause, and she told him that
having dreamed that a.certain number was
great prize she had bought the whole
ticket. He called her fool for her pains,
and never lost chance to tease her on
the subject. She seemed to take his taunts
in good humor, saying it would all turn
out right by and by. One morning he
opeId his paper at breakfast, and saw it
announced that the very number which
Bridget had dreamed and bought had
drawn the great prize, 100000.

long valued her as friend, and being de-
sirous to settle himself forlife he would be
willing to make her his wife, if she had no
objection. Bridget had always thought
him dear, good man, and would be glad
to do anything to please him. So he fin
ished his breakfast, and told her to put on
her best things, the parson was sent for.

THE POOR PRINTER.
A TRUE TALE.

1t was a cold evening in the month of
December, that Judge Wright was sitting
by pleasant FIRE, at the residence of his
brother, in Louisville, Ky. His little
niece was sitting beside him with her head
resting gently on his arm, and her hair fall
ing in ringlets over her snowy shoulders
Tell US story of a mechanic, uncle, if
you please, for l often hear you speaking
of them.' spoke tke little girl, looking in
nocently in the face of the Judge.

ly promise to pay attention to it,

some moments, ana then began:
Ionce knew young man, said he,
who lived in little town in the western
part of Virginia. He was of respectable
family but notvery wealthy, and the youth,

printing business. His parents having no
objections to it, he entered an Office in the
town of W., which was carried on by a
young man by the name of M-- He
continued in the Office some two years, at
the expiration of which time the Office was
! sold out to another firm. The former
proprietors of the establishment Immediate

interior of the State, and the young man
wishing to finish his trade with those he
had commenced with, Immediately left

rolled on, and his apprenticeship was fin

meets his old friends and former associates,
and particularly a young lady to whom he
was very much attached His visits were
very frequent, and in less than year they
were engaged to be married.
He in the meantime had purchased a
printing Office, and was publishing weekly

Idle BOyS.

A writer In the Northwestern Christian
Advocate has the following sound advice
to boys, which all our young readers
would do well to consider:
lie who is idfe and vicious in schools
still more SO when he leaves it. He wbo
plays cards for sport, will, if he turn not,
play ere long for money.
He who robs hen roosts and orchards,
will probably some day rob safes aad pick
pockets. He nay not do it in theway to
expose himself to the penitentiary: he may
have his wits so sharpened as to rob legal
ly, by setting up Wild Cat Bank, or be-
traying the confidence of his employer, or
obtaining the possession of property with
out the means Of paying for it, or by get
ting his hands upon the public Golfers that
he may fill his own, under the soft appel
lation of breach Of trust.
l would that YOU could see with my eyes
for little while; You would then think
with me, that he who, when boy, could
not be trusted, cannot now that he is a
man. 1t would not be proper for me to
mention names, or | could illustrate this
by numerous painful examples But they
are not necessary. Effect will follow
cause---as man SOW SO shall he reap;
boyhood is the seed-tlme, of which man
hood is the harvest.
As, therefore, you love yourselves. form
the habit, while young. of employing all
your. time usefuly. Never be unemployed.
The land is full Of idlers, striving to live
without labor.
1t is not to be supposed that you are
never to take recreation; this is useful, as
it is necessary--but if it come after hard
study OF productive labor. it will proba-
bly, be healthful and moderate
An honorable mind, in the desire of
mere relaxation, will not go forth n the
forms of mischievous exertion
1tis MOTTO be supposed that boy is to
be man, much less an old man; but, in
the midst of his mirth and hilarity, he
may be innocent and amiable.

the water which the sea contains, let us
