The Future Of all Dull Bows.

Parents should never despair because
their children give little promise of emf
nence in early life. Douglas Jerrold was
considered dull boy at nine years old
he could scarcely read. Goldsmith was a
very unpromising boy. Dryden, Swift
aud GibbOn, in their earliest pieces, did
not show any talent. The mother Of Sher-
idan, herself literary woman, pronounc-
ed him to be the dullest and most hope
less of her sons. The father of Barrow is
said to have exclaimed: 'Ifit please God
to take away any Ofmy children, l hope it
will be Isaac" The injudicious parent
regarded the lad as a miracle of stupidity,
but he afterwards proved the glory of his
family.

as warning to young men, in the follow

over me. But out of the black depths,

those who have set foot in the perilous
flood. Could the youth, to whom the fla

my desolation and be made to understand
what a dreary thing it is see his destruc-
tion, and have no power to stop it to see
all godliness emptied out of him, and yet
not able to forget time when he was 9TH

feverish with last nights repetition of the
folly; could he but feel the body of the

bier outcry to be delivered, it we're enough

A Ghost Story by Telegraph.

The following is published in New York
as telegram from Boston
About year ago last month the schoon-
er Andy johnson, Mcclellan master, of Sa-
lem, started for Georgia's Banks on fish
ing cruise, and has not been heard from
since. About that time the schooner
pHeiskcll came in collision 9Th vessel in
the night-time on the Banks and sunk her.
leaving large piece of the rail of the un-
known vessel on her bows, this piece cor.
responded with the Andy Johnson, and it
is supposed to be the last relic of her.
The Heiskell started last month for the
Banks and the first night on the fishing
grounds had bad weather. Four of the
men were on deck, when suddenly there
appeared to them four of the missing men
of the crew of the johnson, who ordered
them home. They were frightened and
called the captain and the rest of the
crew, told them what they had seen and
prevailed on them to return home and
give up the voyage, which they did, leav-
ing the schooner on her arrival The own
ers then shipped new captain and crew.
as not one of the former crew would 20 in
her, and she again left for the Banks where
she arrived in good time, the y again tried
their luck. Bad weather again met the
schooner, and when all hands were on
deck eleven men appeared to them and
took their lines from them, ordering them
to return at once, which they did the next
morning. Arriving off theharbor of Glou-
cester they anchored the schooner and
took their small boats to land, giving as a
reason that they were afraid to take the
vessel to Gloucester as they were ordered
to Salem. The owners sent tugboat and
towed the Heiskell to their wharf, and now
she is reported as having returned empty.
This is strange and curious tale, but it
is vouched for by reliable parties as true.
1t has created good deal of excitement in
the ports of Salem and Gloucester.

We presume every farmer understands
the usual method Of making nails flexible
by heating them; but if instead of allow
ing them to cool in the air, they are
thrown when red hot into linseed oil, it
will prevent their rusting almost as long
as though they were galvanized. Those
who have occasion to use cut nails IN
stead of rought, should not forget this
simple method of preventing rust.

M0n the sly.p

The following good story is told by
gentleman who went to visit some frieuds
in Iowa.
The family consisted of the husband,
his wife and two grown sons. The good
old lady was the only one of the family
who did not take little of the 80 be

Sitting by the fire few minutes, the
old man tipped him the wink, and the
visitor followed him out. Stopping BY
tree, he pulled out long necked bot
tie, remarking, 81 have to keep this hid,
for the boys might get to drinking, and
the old woman would raise the devil"
They took drink and returned to the
freside.
Soon Tom, the eldest son, asked the
visitor out to see colt, and taking him
behind the barn, pulled out a flask, re.
marking, 81 have to keep this hid, for the
old man will get drunk, and the devil is
pay; and they both took drink and re-
turned.
Soon Bob STEPPED on the visitors toe
and walked off the visitor following. A,
they reached the pig pen, Bob drew out
good sized bottle, remarking, ''You
know the old man and Tom will get
drunk, and have to hide this" The
visitor concluded he could not stand it to
drink confdentially against the Whole
family, and started for home.

Self-Operating

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed year ago,
that the drtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt, that this process only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes win get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Every who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
riated, its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary lvertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
aparatus for the last six months. and more than a
million of people have witnes, ed its success. Ten
Thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
he orders reach about hundred day. Ne
one used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
rhe names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the Unted States but the best rccommen-
iatiun is to take the boiler and it yourself Do
Just you are directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to all as matter of econ
amy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance we viii suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies and gentiemens' wear, and chidrens' cloth
ing. only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washe in this way as by the old method
Thus, you actually save $40 year by investing 10
OF 200 per cent annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
is taken a very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con
venience and cemfort of the thing, which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which no, family can
well afford to be without.
THIS Boiler sells the best of any article Offer
ed to the public Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.
The Shasta courier., 1870-09-17
Directions.

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.
Bring the water to a boil, and then place the
clothes in the Aot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
bails raise the lid.
Keep up a h t fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUDS them
through in soft water. If any shade of the dirt
mains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry, and the wash
ing is DONE Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.
The clothes need not be wet before placipr them
IN the Boiler. 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
OUGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry win cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order 70 ro-
duee rapid boiling. Time may be saved bv st rrinr
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary. in order to insure quick work. II tho
washing be large one, the clothes should he as
sorted, dirty shirts, for instance, will reou;re
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washea
without FULLING) by this process They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
ont in hot water.
Colored clothes should not be mixed with white.
and unless the coio-s fast they should never be
washed by this process The most delicate laces,
cainbries. de-, such would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way may be was he'd per-
fectly, without injury by this process. The almost
absolute ne essity of using soft. or "broken, .
water, is so well understood as to hardly need
mention here.
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device Should shade or streak remain,
it all be found to be so reduced and softened to
disappear without the use of wash board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than oNE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process which
alone would pay for a Boiler many times during
sin lie year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration cf saving labor.
