The Shoemaker.

4 shoemaker fat on his work-bench sat.
With shoe about half DONE
His figure was short, and his hair was gray,
And his bright eyes twinkled in such way,
That you would have thought he was only a
play,
Or having bit of fun.
All labor, said he, appears to be ...
A part of my honored trade;
They may dig or preach, or hew, or teach
Whatever they do, you will see in each
Something that's always within my reach,
Or my daily custom made.
The parson may smile as down each aisle
His eloquence sonorous rolls;
He can only believe, when his sermon is Ger,
And silence broods Ger the pews once more,
That he merely performs what I've done before,
For am curer of soles.
The doctor delights, as he knowingly writes
A prescripi ion for pain or smart,
To think that for aches he can give an ease,
And also to think of the coming foes;
I'm sure my profession with his agrees
practice the heeling att
An LID. or higher degrees
Of scholastic lore commanding,
May aspire to fame in some science high
And puzzle wise heads with logic dryj
And yet he cannot do more than /,
To improve the understanding.
The merchant at ease, sends over the seas,
And commerce lends aid to his cali
But tempest may ally to rend his sails,
And his argosies sink under wintery gales;
Like me he his fortune sadly bewails,
v henever be loses his awl.
Though hard may stitch, and never get rich,
Yet some of more means can beat;
For though of their wealth they may make 1
great show, b"
And scatter the; r income as last as they 60,
There's one thing that l can do oftener know,
And that Is, make both ends meet.
When ages have sped, and among the dead
All her professions have passed,
1 all alone in my glory shall be;
No other employment will any one see;
1t must be so, TOR you all will ag ee,
My profession is one of the last.

A PRAYER,

In the State of Ohio there resided a
family, consisting of an old man of the
name of Beaver, and his three sons, all of
whom are hard "pets" who had often
laughed to scorn the advice and entrea-
ties of a pious though very eccentric min
lister, who resided in the same town. 1t
happened one of the boys was bitten by a
rattlesnakc, and was expected to die, when
the minister was sent for in great haste.
On his arrival he found the young man
very penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister, calling on the fami-
ly, knelt down, and prayed in this wise i:
80 Lord we thank Thee for rattle
snakes. We thank Thee because rat
tlesnake has bit Jim. We pray Thee
send rattlesnake to bite John send one
to bite Bill and, o Lord send the big.
gest kind of a rattesnake to bite the old
man for nothing but rattlesnakes will
ever bring the Beaver family to repent
ance."

For some time past, says recent mum.
Der of the Carrolton (Ill.) Democrat, a
party numbering fifteen, belonging to the
Cherokee tribe, have been encamped on
the banks of the Illinois river, ten miles
from this place. Their ostensible object
was fishing, hunting, ect. but it appears
from recent developments, that their
chief aim was to secure hidden treasure
of several urns of Spanish coin, which had
been imbedded in the bluffs at that point
in years agone by their ancient forefa-
theirs. They seemed to be extremely
cautious in their manners, lest the pale
faces should discover the cause of their
presence in that particular locality, and
wrest the covetel prize for which they had
travelled so many miles.
After diligent search, which occupied
some ten or twelve days, they succeeded
in finding the spot where lay concealed
the secret Of their researches Little re-
mains to be told. Suffice it to say, that
after due exploration their brightest an
ticipations were by far more than realiz-
ed The urn of gold and other sacred
relics spoken of by their chiefs long since
gone to the "happy hunting grounds"
were secured, and these untutored child
rem of the forest took their departure for
the far West, with many thousand Span
ish dollars to cheer them on their long
and tedious march,

Gods Lightning-Rods,

Professor Cooke shows how God had
made lightning-rods ages before Frank.
lin thought of them:
! To guard his roof from the destructive
action of electricity. man erects light
ming rod, whose bristling points quietly
drain the clouds, or failing to do this re-
celve the charge and bear it harmlessly
to the earth But ages before Franklin
pointed the first rods to the storms, the
merciful Parent of mankind had surround
ed the dwellings of his children with a
protection far more effectual than this !;
for since the creation of organic life, every
pointed leaf, every twig and every blade
of grass have been silently disarming the
clouds of their destructive weapon. 1t is
difficult to improve upon nature, and man
constantly finds that in his best inven-
tions he has been anticipated from eterni-
ty by greater inventor than he. So not
long after Franklin had discovered the eff
fcacy of metallic points in dissipating a
charge of electricity, and had applied the
principle in constructing the lightning
rod, it was found that common blade of
grass pointed with natures exquisite
workmanship, was three times as effective
as the finest cambrlc needle, and single
twig far more efficient than the metallic
points of the best constructed lightning
rod.
When, now, you reflect how many
thousand of these vegetable points every
tree directs to the sky, and consider
what must be the agency of forest with
its innumerable twigs, or of single mead
ow with its countless blades of grass, and
then when you remember that these are
only subsidiary to those vast mountain
chains, whose craggy SUBMITS pierce the
clouds themselves, and still further, when
you learn that the rain drops and snow
fakes have been made good conductors,
so that during the storms bridge for the
is thrown across from the clouds
to the earth, you will see how abundant
the protection is, and with what care Pro
vidence has guarded US from the destruc-
tive agent. 1t is only under unusual cir
cumstances, when electricity is developed
more rapidly than it can be dissipated
through these nunberless chnaels, that
violent discharge takes place, and if then
it tears, burns, or kills, it also reveals the
merciful hand, which constantly spares.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1866-06-28

a young man named Maltby was struck
by lightning, few days since, in Sher-
man, Connecticut. The lightning came
down through the roof, struck him on the
shoulder, and passed down his side, tear.
ing his boot and foot to pieces, and max.
ing a small hole in the floor. One side
OF his body, where the Lightning passed,
is terribly lacerated and burned. He is
suffering much, but hopes are entertained
of his recovery.

Lundy, died near Macon, 112 years old.
She had been in the same family for three

drank coffee regularly twice day, when
she could get it. She finally died of
