The Wooden end Of the PIapi.
.@BY REV. JOHN TODD, J. D.

|l ID
One of our distinguishes generals was once
Spoor boy, among the ioisy mountains o.
New England. He wss a common workman
In factory. He his since held some of the
highest offices in the gift of the people, and
has won inn, ar enable honors in the army.
He tells Us that one morning, as the facto-
nv was lighted up before light in the early
dawn, and just as objects could be seen out
of door, he was looking out OF the window,
and saw an object moving slowly on the ice
that covered the river. While watching II,
suddenly the Ice broke and the object went
down. In an instant he thought it must % a
man. 80, cal ng companion, s ne ran ao"n
the status and out towards the object.
He had the forethought to snatch up plank
which he carried on his shoulder. When
they reached the place, they found it was
colored man. who had broken through the Ice
and was struggling for his life.
They thrust out the plank. The poor fell
low seized it with both hands.
'Now hold on, Tim, and we'll pull you
out"
So they pulled and got him almost out
when off he slipped, and Went down again.
On his coming up they pushed the end Of
plank to him again, and cried,-
"Now, Tim, hold on with all your might"
"Indeed will, SIR"
Again they pulled, and up he came, almost
out, when off he slipped, aud down he went.
They felt that the third teme must be the
turning point. 1t was now life or death.
Poor Tim looked as ifhe thought so, too. For
the third time the plank was pushed ou',
when the negro cried out ggaFr
"For Gods sake, gentlemen, give me the
svooden end Of the plank" OF
They saw instantly that they had
been giving him the end covered with
ice; and no wonder he could not cling
TO 1t! They now gave him what he
called the "wooden end 2 and drew him out in
safety
When we see parents who have nothing
but hard way toward their children, who are
always finding fault, but never commend
them, even when they do well; and when
they long for words of kindniss, we have
great pity for such children. We wish tina,
these parents would remember that children
cannot have the judgement, the forethoughi,
and sobriety of many years. They are chill
dren. Don't give them the icy end of the
plank. They rejoice to have you give them
deserved Commentator. o, give them the
Wooden end Of the plank. ISIS. Times.

l. The property was carefully selected at period
when pick choice of the best Oil Territory was
to be had. Blss gs.l
2 1t was selected by an energetic, practical man,
then and still resident of the vicinity, most fully
acquainted with its situation and value, and after
personal and thorough examination, accepting only
the best, and rejecting many neighboring places
which have since been taken with avidity by other
parties who are now holding at an immense advance
3. The party who selected them is, and will con-
tinue to be, very large stakeholder in the Com
pany. He is very respectable, energetic, driving
man, has engineered the tunnellng and other works
ofrailroad building sfuy qualified for, and has de-
termined to devote his energies to thorough and
efficient development of the property of this Com
pany which fact is ofitself Of immense value, and
is deemed by his associate owners securing, as it
WILL the ceaseless devotion of deeply interested,
thoroughly competent, and energetic manager.
4. The Company are already energetically at
work boring FIVE wells, namely
The McCoy Farm Well, now so feet deep:
The Wickham Farm Well, now 50 feet deep:
The Sharp Farm Well, now so feet deep:
The briggs Farm Well, now 100 feet deep:
The Hart Farm Well, now 300 feet deep, es4
with excellent indications of oil in each, and have
determined, if thought best, to put down not less
than One Hundred Many Companies have several
wells on one acre. This Company has Territory
sufficient to stink Sic Hundred Wells, allowing
more than five acres to each well.
s. And as to the abundance of Oil in the region
it at one time became SO plentiful as not to be worth
the cost ofprocurng casks in which to place it. An
instance may be named in which, for want of proper
vessels, an Ohio fatboat scow was filled in bulk
with it, which was sold at cent per gallon, but
kept until the purchaser resold at twenty eight
cents per GAL, or ST., 20 per barrel.
g., And as to the cheapness Of this stock, it may
be remarked that it is well known that companies Of
1000 100 dollars in 900 shares have been formed
on one hundred acres of oland, (and often less
and taking this basis, the shares in the Company
would not be twenty cents per share; or. making
| hercomparison one share in this Company is more
than equal to having one share in twenty separate
companies, inasmuch as the average Of each sep.
arate Farm, in this Company, forms basis for a
1 company by itself each Farm having so many choice
places which to sink separate wells yet all these
Farms are thrown into this one Company for the
benefit of each shareholder, making it equal com.
parativey, to sharing dividend in twenty separate
companies. 468a ts,r-i7is
