Combing her dark brown hair,
And, in gay, exultant mood
She chlrped this little air: 54a
Eyes, men may come, and men may go;
But why should maiden care?
I'll shake them off like flakes Of snow,
For am young and fair!

For I am young and fair!
AT THIRTY-FIVE.
Bending before her mirror bright,
She sighed with anxious air.
As IN the lingering sunset light
She plucked silver hair:
"Alack-a-dayl They fly, they fly,
That troop of lovers bold,
Who sought the sunshine of my eye,
For I am growing old
All, me
For I am growing oldp
Hast thou ever yet loved, Henrietta ?'' l sighed
I should rather imagine had she replied;
Oh, did not my glances my feelings betray ;.
Then you helped me the third time to pudding

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR rs
Ill DUE.-Referring to the published list of
Premiums awarded at the Augusta County Fair
of 1868, ace can say With truth that our Plows
took First Premiums at our county exhibition
This we dare to do not only in private price lists
addressed to our customers, but also in the pub
lie prints of the country. 3}- II
We claim to manufacture THE PREMIUM
LIVINGSTON PLOWS, and that they are un-
rvaled in beauty of finish, in strength of mate
rial, and IN perfection of execution. #ss s
In addition to the manufacture of these plows,
which, if possible, are. this season approaching
nearer to perfection than ever before, we also
manufacture Threshing Machine and Mill Gear
ing Castings--light and heavy--of almost ev-
cry description; Planter and Hathaway Cooking
Stoves, SO long and favorably known in this COM
munity. 800
We are also manufacturing, and will have
ready for the coming hay season, a very superior
SelfDischa-ging, Steel-Toothed Hay-Kake, with
Grass Seed Attachment.
we warrant our manufactures of every de-
scription, both in material and execution
Farmers and others will find it to their interest
to give us a oall before purchasing elsewhere.
Owing to the fact that we have to pay cash for
everything that enters into our manufactures we
are compelled to require cash from our custom
ers We hope they will not ask for credit.

Short Credit.

YEvO THE PUBLIC.-The experience of
a the past two years has shown the necessity
of strict adhereneeto cash sales. All importers
and manufacturers require of Us cash at the ex-
piration of each month, TO meet which we find it
impossible to rely upon collections, and have to
resort to means outside our business. This we
wish to avoid and will, therefore, after the 1st of
January, 1869, sell strictly for cash. 90
A settlement at the end Of each month by such
persons as merchants builders, and others to
whom it may be more convenient will be consid .
cred equivalent to cash. 2st
All persons indebted to us will confer favor
by settling by the LIST of January, or as soon at
ter as possible, as we are DESTROYS of closing up
past accounts and are much in need of funds =
