The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1870-01-06


4 PARTING WoRD.-We have
grown tired of printing duns in this
shape. Our friends in arrears are
proof against all such missiles. we
have. therefore. concluded to try diT-
faraut nIan. of which due notice IS
hereby given. We are now sending to
each delinquent subscriber statement
of his account, with the proposition
that if it be paid by Feb. 19, 1870,
certain deduction will be made. If not
paid by that time, tuH rates 1oW be
charged, payment enforced by tar, and
the paper discontinued b1 al eases Of
more than one gears arreardge. Up
wards of ten thousand dollars of unpaid
subscriptions and advertising have ac-
cumulated on our books during the
last five years. This is a load we can
not carry any longer. Will our friends
assist Us in Tightening if, or must we
summon to our al that vexatious and
detestable instrumentality, The lar
CARRIERS ADDRESS to the patrons
of the GAZETTE, Jan. l, 1870.
Oh thou, whatever name thou Dearest
Whate er the creed by which thou s~earest,
Or shat the lot in life thou sharest,
Bet good or evil,
Who but shilIings value earest
For ne, poor devil
To thee be health and peace and pleasure,
And all the joys that mOrtals treasure,
Sans calculation and sans measure,
This New Years morning
(And if thou be loafer, Ieisure
For years Of yawningD
Whate sr thy nature = prediction,
II but an honest man inspection
Discovers therein detection,
God crafty it
And may it be thy hearts election
To do we'll by it.
If in thy bosom holy wishes
Supplant, with thoughts aud hopes delicious,
The lust Of earthly ''Ioaves and fishes,
And Danish evil,
Be hends hat tempt No malicious,
Than Printers Devil '
If towards the world thine inclination,
II Gold attraction, Fame elatl0n,
Or Priae's eternal, fell yexaton,
Do onward lure thee,
Mayst thou have thy worst condemnation
From SherIf7s Jury.
II Beauty forms 10 thee are charming,
If "womsns looks do prove alarming,
So that certain bachelors arm in,
Thy heart is piRing,
To place some criaoline and carmine,
The two combining
What constitutes hy beauteous ladya
Don't, like Adonis keep too shady,
Nor yet forget that Cupi5's ready
For thy undoing;
Watch Number One - with eyesight steady,
When gone a-wooing-
IF rural sights and sounds delight thee,
So that th woods and fields invite thee
Where tborns do prick and ''Farmints' bite thee,
Refrain from swearing,
But give thy love for Nature mighty,
A wholesome airing.
Twill do you good God works TO ponder
Of trees and rocks and hills to wonder;
To listen to th estaracts thunder,
And gaze ad miring,
On all that meets you as you wander
With feet untiring
If politics possess attraction
To draw thee to that sphere Of action,
Where envious faction wars with faction,
Be thine the party
That aims to bind each jarring section
In Union hearty,
But if by lauthorn dsrkly Etten,
Or if by love Of Office smitten,
Thy name, perchance, thou hast dawD written
With that foul party
The constitution the bottomless pit in,
With curses hearty,
Doth strive TO hurI, with all its power,
I pity thee unhappy giaour
oh soon may come the glorious hour,
When thou No longer
hal; meath the lash Of leaders cover,
Or ofice-monger.
But thou, whate er thy occupation
Thy feelings, wishes, earthly station,
To whcm shall come this visitation
Of 'one- horse rhyming,
May New Year bells for thee occasion
merry Ginning
