THE SHOEMAKER.


A Shoemaker fat on his workbench sat,
With a shoe about halfdone sasfafH
His figure was short, and his hair was gray,
And his bright eyes twinkled in such a way,
That you would have thought he was mere
8N9 at play, 80 aaaa f11m uN9iuH n
Or having bit of fun. Aoaa ,sart
All labor, said he, appears to be
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,
ormy daily custom made.
The parson may smile, as down each aisle
i His eloquence sonorous rolls .f,~
He can only believe, when his sermon is o'ei
And silence broods Ger the pews once more,
That he only performs what I've done before
For am curer of soles. 9
The doctor delights, as he knowingly writes
A prescription for pain and smart, -
To think that for aches he can give an ease,
And also to think of the coming fees, iliia
I'm sure my profession with his agrees W
SCI practice the heeling art oo si975.
AN LII D., or higher degree $3.50 a.il,st.i
Of scholastic lore commanding, 1a ahaaa
May aspire to fame in some science high,
And puzzle wise-heads with logic dry
And yet he cannot do more than |, bl sl all
To improve the understanding na
The merchant, at ease, sends over the seas,
And commerce lends aid to his call
But tempests may rally to rend his sails,
And his argosies sink under wintry gales;
Like me, his misfortune he sadly bewails,
- Whenever he loses his all.
Though hard may stitch, and never get rich
Yet some Of more means l can beat;
For though Of their wealth they may make
great show,
And scatter their income as fast as they 60,
There's one thing that can do oftener, know
And that is, make both ends meet.
When ages have sped, and among the dead
All other professions have passed, -
I all alone in my glory shall be;
No other employment will any one see;
1t must be SO, for you will agree,
My business is one of the last.

Didn't Suit.

Many years ago, there resided in a town
in one ofthe Western States, twelve joEial
old citizens, who met on the first of every
January, for social and conviyial inter-
couse. Wine, wit, good will towards them
selves and 'the rest of mankind" reigned
around their ample board. q
At one of these reunions, a proposition
was offered and unanimously ac6ncurred in,
that each member should state the charac-
ter and qualities of his wife. without con-
cealment, be the same good or otherwise.
The disclosures commenced, and each one
pictured in glowing terms the amiable be-
longings of his better half One, however,
member S., remained silent and absorbed
apparently in deep reflection. He was urg-
ed to respond to the common pledge, but
|still remained obstinately reticent. At last,
on being assured and reassured, that what
he disclosed would never be mentioned
outside of the precincts of the club, he said,
Gentlemen, you have given aattering, even
angelic descriptions of your wives, and l
have no doubt each one Of you have told
the truth. Mrs. and myself have liv-
ed together harmoniodsly for forty years.
Sheis an exemplary wife, akind mother, a
good.christian and charitable to the poor;
her hand and heart is ever open tothe
afflicted her neighbors, and all who know
her, say she possesses every lovely attribute
that should adorn female character but
confound my eyes if she suits me-"
Young men think of the above before
you take the fatal stepi .ae

DON'T Spare the Seed

A young farmer had his field nicely plow-
ed and narrowed, and was about to put in
the seed. He first measured the field, and
found how many rods there were in it. He
next measured rod, and calculated how
many plants it would take to fill it. He
calculated the seed in half gill, in pint.
a quart and in bushe. The result was
that he was satisfied that people usually
SOW four times the seed necessary. A peck
was just as good as bushel. Now seed
was very dear, and if he could save three
fourths of his seed, it would be worth the
while. 2fa
So, he sowed his peck of seed-"sowing
sparingly," and at harvest-time the crop
was not worth gathering He was great
ly disappointed. Where scas the mistake +?
He felt sure he had calculated and meas
ured right. He then went to old Mr.. Ex-
perience, farmer of long standing and
great success, and told him his troubles.
81 am sure calculated right"
"No; you didn't calculate right"
"Why not?" s
"Did you calculate for the poor seed that
could not germinate at any rate There is
great deal of such in every bushel we
SOW"
"Why, Inever thouht ofthat" .a
"Did you calculate for some that would
be buried too deep, or get into holes and
not sprout :" s'ai
"Certainly not" ~
"Did you calculate for great deal that
would lie on the top of the ground, and
which thebirds would pick up before the
rains fell when it could take root. 2"
z II never thought of that either"
"Did you calculate for what the wind
would blow of, or you would throw off from
your lot :" fr- e aasef
sNo sir" azal. lo sa a.l ei slf 1Gigasla
VERY we'll. You see how it is that you
did not obtain a harvest. "He that soweth
sparingly shall reap also sparingly."
The right application to parents, teach
ers, ministers and all Christians is obvious.
"The seed of life thrown upon the ten le-
pers from the hand of ourSaviour, took root
in only one heart" itF saa1a sdf

wonted tranquility and cheerfulness. At
the proper time Governor Morgan, of
New York, chairman of the committee
arose, and, with becoming dignity, inform
ed Mr.. Lincoln that he and his fell ows ap-
peared, in behalf of the convention now in
session at Chicago, to inform him that he
had that day been unanimously nominated
to the Office of President of the United
States, and asked his permission to report
to that body his acceptance ofthe nomina-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln, with becoming nodes
ty, but very handsomely replied that he
felt his insufficiency for the vast responl
slbllltles which must devolve upon that
Office under the impending circumstances
of the times, but if God and his country
called for his services in that direction. he
should shrink from no duty that might be
imposed upon him, and therefore he should
not decline the nomination. ae
After this ceremony had passed, Mr..
Lincoln remarked to the company that, as
an appropriate conclusion to an interview
so important and interesting as that which
had just traEspired, he supposed good man
ners would require that he should treat
the committee with something to drink :
and, opening door that led into a room
in the rear, he called out "Mary! Mary ~
A girl responded to the call, whom Mr..
Lincoln spoke few words to in an under
tone, and closing the door, returned again
to converse with his guest. In few min
utes the maiden entered, bearing large
waiter containing several glass tumbIers
and large pitcher in the midst and placed
it upon the centre table, Mr.. Lincoln a.
rose, and, gravely addressing the company,
said Gentlemen. we mnst pledge our
mutual healths in the most healthy bever-
age which our God has given to man: it is the
only beverage have ever used or allowed
in my family, and cannot conscientious
ly depart form it on the present occasion
it is pure Adams ale from the spring." and,
taking tumbler, he touched it to his lips
and pledged them his highest respects in a
cup Of cold water. OF Ofcourse, all his guests
were constrained to admit his consistency
and to join in his example.
Mr.. r., when he went to Chicago, had
but little political sympathy with the Re-
publican Convention which nominated Mr.
Lincoln, but when he saw, as he did see
for himself his sturdy adherence to high
moral principle, he returned an admirer of
the man, and Jealous advocate of his elec-
tion.

cutting through cotton into the neck of 6
/ human being."r Now listen, and wonder al
the power Of this wonderful silent witness
The murdered man had been found with his
throat cut through the neck band of his
| cotton shirt. The evidence was as conclu
sive as though voice from the clouds haG
proclaimed in tones of thunder "rhor
art the man."
A few years ago, man under trial fo!
murder in Western New Y ork asserted thai
blood.stains on an ak found in his posses
sion were from dog which he had killed
The case was referred to Prof. Hadley O
Buffalo, who was purposely kept in igno
rance ofalI the circumstances. Submitting
| the blood-stains to microscopic inspection
he decided that they were from dog, thus
confirming the poorman's testimony
You remember how you were startled, g
few years since, by voice from the scien
tifc world, claiming that the microscope
could detect the image of the murderer or
the retina Of his victims eye, thus referring
the matter to witness that cannot be brib
ed-7t Judge that would not hesitate to
| condemn the duke in the heart of his duchy
or the king in his purple.
The microscope is a peace-maker, a set
tier Of disputes. Some hundred years since
it was asserted by a learned savan o
France, in contradiction to history and ira
dition, that the wrappings of the Egyptian
mummies were ofcotton. From this sprane
curious and voluminous discussion, pro
and con. In the midst of these philoso-
phical discussions, some man conceived the
idea of appealing to the microscope, when
the question was forever settled. 1t was
then discovered that the fibres of the cot
ton were composed of transparent tubes
while those of the fax were jointed like
cane. The fibers of the mummy cloths was
shown to be iointed as in the fax of the
present day.
The microscope has put at rest the
palacontologists concerning the affinities
Of the gigantic megatherium by pointing to
the tissue of it's dental organs. By the
same curious and delicate method it has
forever decided the question which for a
time agitated the scientific world, of the
existence of Reuper-reptiles in the lower
sandstone of the Newred system in War
wickshire. In the same manner the micro
scope has rectifed errors in the classified
tion fthose animals that roamed the earth
before the creation of man.
Other anecdotes and interesting facts
concerning the microscope crowd to our
mind, which our limits compel US to pass in
silence. With the mention of one other
fact we shall conclude this paper.
Some sixteen years since, committee of
chemists, appointed by the Government,
reported that neither by chemical or other
means was it possible to detect the presence
of chickory in coffee. To-day, any tolera-
BILE microscopist can convict the coffee
dealer of fraud By the aid of the micro
scope the adulteration is as manifest as is
mixture Of corn and beans to the naked
eve.

Effects ofImnatience.

Nothing more incapaciates q man for
the lead than impatience. No constitution
ally impatient man, who has INDUCED this
tendency, ever gets to the bottom Of things,
or knows with any nicety the standiug dis
position and circumstances of the people
he is thrown, or has thrown himself a.
mongst. Certain salient points he is pos
sessed of,tbut not what reconciles and ac-
counts for them. Something in him-an
obtrusive self, or train Of thonght,or liking
and antipathies- always come between
him aud an impartial Judgment. Neither
does he win confidence, for he checks the
coy, uncertain advances which, are the pre-
cursors of it. We donbt if thoroughly
impatient man can read the heart or be
fair critic, or understand the rights OF any
knotty question, or make himself master Of
any difficult situation. The power OF walt
| ing, celebrating, hanging in suspense, Is
necessary for all these-the power OF stay-
ling off for considerable periods OF time
merely personal leanings.

Petroleum.

Efforts have been made since the year
1916, to supply an oil for illuminating and
lubricating purposes, distilled from the sof-
ter, or, as they we're called fatty GOALS
The English camel Goals, the Nova Scotia
camel, the Breckenridge, and some othe
bltuminous Goals Of the western slope of
the Appalachian range, pr6duced these
oils in considerable quantity The oils--or
rather hydro-carbons-thu distilled, were
less dense than ordinary or vegetable oils.
but exhaled peculiar and somewhat un-
pleasant odor, and burned with abundant
smoke, requiring peculiarly constructed
lamp to consume the excess Of carbon
Considerable oil began to be produced in
1859, from some wells or pools, in Venango
Co.. in this State, and which pools, we are
informed, were known to exist for over q
century. After considerable experiment
ingft was demonstrated that this oil, though
possessing less body than the coal oil, could
be satisfactorily used for Illuminating pur-
poses. In August, 1861, the first wells were
sunk, and the question of obtaining an a.
bundant supply of this oil was solved and
not less than twenty millions of gallons,
(2O,0O0,0O0,) found their way into market
the same year. Since the time of its dis
covery, the trade in oil has been rapidly
increasing, and in 1862, over six millions
OF gallons were exporte from New York,
and over two and half millions of gallons
from Philadelphia. f4e
The consumption of Petroleum is very
large, not only at home, but abroad. It
makes very good gas, and, we were assured
by skillful mechanic, not long since, that
it could be made much cheaper than any
other kind ofgas, and was of as good quail
ty. EXPERIMENTS are now being made to use
it as fuel for the purpose of generating
steam, and the indications are that it will
prove well adapted for this purpose
What revolutions it may produce, in the
coal trade, or what may be its influence
upon navigation, the future alone will tell.
That it will prove to be a source of wealth
to our State, is no longer question, but
fact. With our mines of iron, our mex
haustible fields of coal, and our immense
Petroleum wells, we may make. this CON-
monwealth one of the grandest and most
wealthy in the Union. e
