Ia SHAVING FOR MoNEY.-We pity
the man who wears out his energies in
the accumulation of riches, which, when
amassed, he will have lost the capacity
to enjoy. lie finds himself at the end
of his labor, guest at his own feast,
without an appetite for its daintles. The
wine of his life is wasted, and nothing
remains but the lees. The warm SYM
pathies of lis heart have been choked
by the memorable spirit Of avarice, and
they cannot be resuscitated. The foun-
tain head of his enthusiasm is scaled; he
looks at all things in nature and IN art
with the eye Of calculation hard mat
ter of fact is the only Pabulum his mind
can feed on the elastic spring OF I'M
pulsc-the poetry Of existence is gone.
The only rational way to live is to mix
labor with enjoyment-a streak OF lat
aud a streak oflean, There is nothing
like strcaky life-apleasant mixture OF
thankfulness, love, jollity, and repose.
The man who slaves for riches makes a
poor return to that God who took the
trouble of making him for better fate

p4n Iron BUSINESS Maltby.the
purchaser of the Manning farm in this
county, says the SphH, we understand,
has resored to the use of blasts i'll the
work of getting iron ore out OF the beds
he is now working, the ore being of
such solidity as to require this process
in extracting it from the bed of mother
earth
We have also learned that company
has been, or is about being formed, TO
work the ore beds recently discovered
on the land of Mrs. Nanvacter, near the
Bloomery Sash Factory.
Mai. Geo. Ii. Bardwell, Of Phlladel-
phia, who has been sojourning i'll
Charlestown for some months rs Direct
or and General Agent of the 5. '. X.
II. Co., has collected from different
counties in this section of West Virgin
ia, specimens of some of The most valua-
bic varieties of iron ore, which it is his
purpose to have assayed and tested.
Should the beds of these ores prove eX-
tensive it is probable that Northern
capital will be directed toward their de-
vclopment.
"How are you little whats the
news in Shepherdstown p Such was
the sautation we received from stran-
