AS may be seen, we insert this week the advertise
ment Of McLlesn's Cordial, etc.
It's very well known we are not particularly favor
able to patent medicines, and, as a general thing, eschsw
the whole of them with but little ceremony, and with
these sentiments we declined inserting this advertise
ment until we knew what we're the ingredients Of the
medicine, and how compounded. This we have learned
and believing, IS we do, that the Ingredients are sood,
and the compound judieiously made, We commend it
as a mixture worthy of public confidence.

The Right Time.

What will you give for a valuable
piece Of information, reader? We can't
charge you anything for it-not even a
three cent stamp, yet we warrant it ap-
plicable on all occasions, and something
that will be more useful than all the
receipts for glove cleaning, hair-dye, and
washing made easy ever invented
Choose the RIGHT TINE for saying
things. If your wife looks wearied and
wern out, be sure that is not the right
time to tell her that the tea is not hot,
or that the bread is sour. Comfort her
cheer her up Use the ten thousand
little stratagems you were wont to handle
SO skillfully in the courting days, to
bring out the smiles around her lips.
If you are annoyed or vexed at peo-
pie, just remember that it is not the
RIGHT TINE to speak. Close your mouth
shut your teeth together firmly, and
our receipt will save you many useless
and unavailing regret, and many bitter
enemy.
If you happen to feel little cross
and who amongst US does not at some
time or other? don't select that season
for reproving your noisy household
flock. One word spoken in passion
will make a scar that a summer Of smiles
can scarcely uproot.
Ifyou chance to be woman, the ad-
vice is Just as good. Never tease your
husband when he comes home, weary,
from his days business. 1t is not the
RIGHT TIME. Don't ask him for expen-
sive trinkets when he has been talking
about hard times-that is most assuredly
the WRONG time.
If he has entered upon any under
taking against your advice, don't seize
On the moment Of its failure to say, Il
told you so!'' In fact, it is never the
right time for those four monosy yllables.
Oh, if people only knew enough to
discriminate between the right and the
wrong, there would be less estrange-
meut Of heart! The greatest calamities
that overshadow our lives have some
times their germ in matters as appar-
antly slight as this. If you would only
pause, reader, before the singing taunt,
or the biting sneer, or the unkind scoff
passes your lip-pause just long enough
to ask yourself, "Is it the right time for
me to speak?' you would shut the door
against many headache!
The world hinges on little things.
and there are many less trivial than the
RIGHT time and the WRONG!
Pomeroy weekly telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio) 1860-1866, 1861-10-25

was brought he dashed three buckets
full into the Internal eontrivance, and
he then breathed more freely.

from the hold. '.Do nothing rashly.-
Let me go in the cabin first. You may
follow me-
Commodore Tucker strobe into the
cabin, walked up to the bunk where his
passenger lay, and grasping hold of the
female dress, he dragged its Hearer out
upon the floor. There was a sharp re-
sistanee3 and the passenger drew pistol,
but it was quickly knocked away-the
gown was torn off, and Man came forth
from the scattered remnants of calico and
linen. 1
ThelGell was assured that his whole
plot had been discovered, and at length
he owned that he had planned to turn out
in the course of the night, and get hold
Of the ball of tw1ne, which he had left
in convenient place: he then intended
to have gone aft carefully unwinding
the string as he went along, then to have
got into the boat, cut the falls, and as
the boat fell into the water, he would
have pulled smartly upon the twine.
"And [ think you know" he con-
tinued with wicked look, ''what would
have been the result. [ shouldnt have
been noticed in the fuss-I'd have got
out Of the way with the boat, and you'd

In the morning when Commodore
