being complied with; in suffering and for

Presently,

'Never say you will do presently what
your reason or your conscience tells
you should be done now.
"No man ever shapes his own destiny
or the destinies Of others, wisely and
we'll, who deals much in presentlies.
Look at nature. She never postpones.
When the times arrises for the buds to
open, they open-for the leaves to fail,
they fall. Look upward. The shining
worlds never put of; their riSings or their
settings. The comets even erratic as
they are, keep their appointments; and
eclipses are punctual to the minute.
There are no delays in any of the move
ments Of the universe which have been
predetermined by the absolute will Of
the Creator. Procvastination among the
stars might involve the destruction Of
innumerable systems procrastination in
the operations Of nature on this earth
might result in famine, pestilence, and
the blottins out of the human race.
Man, however, being a free agent, can
postpone the performance of his duty;
and he does so, too frequently to his own
destruction. The drafts drawn by in.
dolence upon the future are pretty sure
to be dishonored. Make NOW your bank
er. Do not say you will economize pre-.
sently, for presently may be bankrupt;
nor that you will repent and make atone

Seven years ago we adopted the plan Of
sending our "Farmer" Cooking Stoves
through the country with wagons, by our
travelling statesmen, in order to supply a

household articles The abundant success
Of our enterprise throughout the States Of
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia,
and the universal favor with which our
Stoves are received everywhere, convinces

growing demand, We must largely increase

Valedictoty.

With this issue Of the Herald my edi-
toriai connection ceases, and my talks
with its readers are at an end. If the
paper has at times lacked force and en-
ergy, it was during the absence Of its
senior or chief: on which occasions /
have remembered that silence is better
than indiscreet speech. have not been
anxious to compromise him, and have
also tried to be reticent for the reader as
we'll, by avoiding words which are as
often idle and lmpotent as they are
abundant; and not unfrequently the
froth of Observation-Disclosures to con-
ceal the truth rather than to establish j" ;"
In parting with our readers and the
press fraternity, am pleased to say that
we have had no antagonisms, no bitter
words, no heart-buraings. This acknow-
iedgment may bring the verdict Of weak
ness,-be it so. To us it is q pleasant
legacy.
It is to be hoped that the day is not
distant when there shall be more unity
and less disintesration-more sympathy
and less sel6shness among the people at
large. But at this transition period the
editorial life has few charms.
With this brief valedictory, we bid
our friends farewell gratefully reulem.
bering their patronage and courtesy, we
trust the same cordial relations may ex-
ist between them and the present sole
editor of the NewberEy Herald.
Respectfully and fraternally, e..

Manufacturing

The bill lately introduced to grant
immunities, aid and encourage manufac.
turing enterprises in this State, is already
showing practical and beneficial results,
as VIC see by tee Phoenix, that Mr.. Davis,
REPRESENTATIVE from York, introduced, on
Tuesday las, biz to charter cotton
and wooden mill, to be known as the
Yo-kyil!e Manufacturing Company. It
gives authority to MessrS. James F.
Hart, T. NJ. Dobson, L. NJ. GriSt, and
George r. Ratchford, as ircorporators,
to establish manufactory for spinning
and manufacturing cotton and woolen
fabrics, at such locality in York County
as they may decide upon. The capital
stock is fixed at S30O,0OO, in shares Of
500 each. Authority is given to COM
mence operation as soon as $50, 900 shall
have been subscribed. Notice of the
introduction of the same bill was also
given in the Senate. Another bill, 10
incorporate the Edgeheld Cotton and
Woolcn Company, has also been intro
duced into the Senate.
The facilities for manufacturing pur.
poses in this county are considerable
and we suggest that our enterprising cit
liens consider the question. Nothing SO
materially, largely and rapidly builds up
q place as manufactures, and it is to be
hoped that the faroroble opportunities
now presented will be made available.
1t will be remembered that the bill al.
luded to e1empts manufacturing from
taxation.
