Ruth.

Ruth.
She stood brest high amid the corn,
Ciasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun.
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autum flush
Deeply ripened such blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blackest none could tell;
But long lashes veiled light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead dim;
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, said, Heaven did not mean
Where reap thou shouldst but CLEAN;
Lay thy sheaf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.

NA Boston correspondent writes
as fellows: / hear in private conver.
sstion the story of curious instance
of insanity, remarkable as showing
the tendencies of our hard working
American life, and the possibility of
foreseeing the coming Of madness.
A gentleman doing large business
in Lynn has for some time been great
ly harassed by business complica-
tions, which almost drove him to
distraction. At last he took an &C.
count of stock, and decided to re-
tire. All the details of his business
were attended to and closed up with
the most sedulous care; and when at
last all was completed, the gentle
man went calmly to the Insane Asy-
lum at Somerville, and presented
himself at its door in the character
OF a patient; saying he had STAYED
of insanity as long as he could.
In less than an hour he was raving
maniac, and the extreme expedient
of straight jacket had to be resort
ed to to prevent him from commit
ting the most violent acts of mad
ness.

~ Henry Ward Beecher, in his
sermon last Sunday evening, brought
up the case of Elijah, who, despairing
of the Lords cause, prayed that be
might die. He (the preacher) was
not for dying. When any great
cause needed to be fought for, he
was for living. And there was q
great work to be done in this coun-
try said he; we are coming to fu-
ture of immense activity. And il
you suppose that constitutions are a
match for human nature, that laws
are stronger than selfshness and
pride; if you suppose that great prin-
ciples of equity and purity are the
natural lords of avarice and passion,
you have read history to little ac-
count. If any man growing up now
supposes that because we have gone
through one great battle, and have
settled the issues so that we can sit
down in tranquility, he will in due
season be undeceived. The greater
liberty we possessed, the more we
should be stimulated, said the speak
er, to extend it. He had no doubt
but "there is to be bloodshed yet; q
mighty conflict yet that will try mems
faith; that will try mems belief in
the Lord, and belief in the provi-
dence of God"

II rince's Metallic Paint.
ANINDESTRUCTIBLE COATING
Man, nm NM MNNNa

A TTENTION is respectfully called to
N the above mentioned Paint, and the
qualities upon which are based its claims tc
superior advantages, established by the most
incontrovertible evidence as to fact, as al
ready fully demonstrated in this ana neigh
boring cities by many of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su-
gar Refners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build.
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies
Roofers, etc.
II consists of seventy-two parts Oxide oi
Iron, and twenty eight parts Cement Lime
Stone, in the one hundred pounds.
The Ore from which this Paint is manu-
factured is from vein discovered in Carbon
County, Pa which is oyerlaid with hydraulic
cement lime stone, through which the waters
of ages have percolated, and which in con-
nection with the Iron, gives to it the peculiar
property of withstanding heat and moisture,
which no other of the so-called metallic
paints possess.
1t has much more body than red or white
lead. 1t is warranted perfectly water and
fire proof, and to withstand greater heat on
metals, without scaling, than any other paint
in use; hence it is unquestionably the
beSt Ooutthty eoeT upptteo w Ote0He
Pipes and Boilers,
Where it is proUen that eren Red Lead VII
not stand.
1t is a perfect cover for ships bottoms, of
iron or wood; and all kinds of iron, tin,
brick or wood work, out-houses and canvass
coverings. 1t prevents and arrests the corro-
sion of metals, and is not affected by the ac-
tion of salt, gases, acids or ammonia.
Ithardens under water, as has been fully
demonstrated by its application to gas hold
ers, by many of the largest Gas companies in
the United States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as herein
claimed, pronounce in its favor over any 9TH
er pants In the market, even though ed at
double its price.
As a coating for patterns of iron or wood,
when mixed with shellac, it is much superior
to bseswax, oil, or shellac alone, as has been
proven at the largest foundries in the country.
For patching boilers and making Joints, 1t
is considered superior to red lead, or any 9th
er preparation.
For cleaning metals 1t takes the place Of
crocus. rouge and emery, being better and
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than drv
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
ry mineral paints. 1t is free from any waste
and possesses spreading and covering pow
| er uHequaled.
All orders or communications, by mail OF
otherwise, will receive prompt attention.
