THE SOLDIER’S FAREWELL.
BT BOSCAW SS.
"Farewell, my love ! farewell, my hearths delight I
I join the ranks to fight for liberty ;
Though parted now, we yet shall reunite:—
My light, my life, farewell! Remember me !
I go to lands with softest verdure clad,
But leave my heart, ’tis all I have, with thee ;
From my fond eyes thy form can never fade,—'
Oh, fear thou not! . Farewell! Remember
me!
But lest my absence seem to thee too Jong,
The nightingale my messenger shall be;
And, to beguile the time, her plaintive song
Shall tell thee of my constant love for thee.
One little year !— think of the year that’s past:
How short to us that season seemed to be !
And though the sands of this rnn net so fast,
The end will come. Farewell! Remember
me!
But, should stern Fate my hoped return delay,
Or death, which only can. keep me from thee,
Though in a nameless grave my frame decay,
Thou hast my heart. Farewell! Remember
me 1 *
{Saturday Evening Gazette.
"Washing out a Debt. —We heard a
good story yesterday of a popular fire
man, who a few years ago resided in this
city. He was not only in good standing
with his company, but in good credit
with his landlord, who was keeper of the
tavern. Mine host did not register his
accounts by double entry, nor make his
entries with indelible ink; his ledger was
a folding slate, one half of which was
covered over with the debts of the gen
erous fireman.
On a certain occasion the establish
ment took fire, the alarm was given, and
very soon the firemen were present to
suppress it. They knew that our hero
was a boarder there, and for the safety
of his property their anxiety was first
evinced.
“Ha, Bill,” says one, “throw down
your trunk.” “O, Bill,” says another,
“wait there and we’ll . put up a ladder for
you to come down by. ”
■ * Hold on there for a minnte, boys,
and I’ll tell you what to do,’ says Bill.
He disappeared for moment, and in
a moment again he was at the window’,
holding the double-up but now un
doubled slate, in his hands before him,
which bore on its face the sole r#eord of
his indebtedness to ‘the bouse.
‘ There! there! now, ’ says Bill, speak
ing in that tone of authority which his
office in the company authorized him to
use, ‘play away on the slate, No. 7 !’
No. 7 promptly obeyed orders, and in
a very few minutes the slate was—a
blank. The simple water washed aw 7 ay
all Bill’s brandies and water.
‘Enough, boys,’ said Bill, closing up
the slate, ‘it’s a regular open and shut
game. If Mrs. Mickson has any charge
against me, let her produce her vouch
ers.’
A. compromise was effected, and a
new account opened.
“I Will, if I Bust.*’—A tall, long-leg
ged Yankee from Vermont, distinguished
by a little head perched on a crane's neck,
accoutred with a swallow-tailed coat,
and pantaloons that refused to be coaxed
down to his ankles, boots shining with
tallow, and hat that scorned over half a»
inch of brim, stalked into a hotel in Bos
ton, last week, to get what he called a
“fancy dinner.” Being seated at the ta
ble, and asked by the servant what he
would have:
“Wall, I swan, I don’t know,” said he,
casting his eyes down the long array of
fricandeaux, cotellettes, ragouts, alto
gether “kickshaw T s” on the bill of fare,
which confounded him with their variety
while he despaired of grappling with
them all— “what would you take, squire,
if you were in my place ? I can t eat all
es I never was to have another meal of
Tittles from now till spring.”
“Wonldif*t you like some soup ?” said
the waiter. - >
“Wall, squire, you’re bout right, I
reckon ; bring on your soup, and then
I’ll pitch into your biled vittles. . You
tax all the same they say, anc’it’s hard
choosfn’—so 111 jist try one plate through
the lot—l will , if I bust !
And he did.

GOVE’S PATENT. . 1
The attention of all parties interested
pressing or compressing of Hay, Cotton ll
Wool, Kaos, Hors, or any other article req’uirlX
be baled for Transportation, Storage or Consu
tion. is respectfully solicited, to the PORT A p
or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured
this Company, under the superintendence on.
Patentee, Mr. John 11. Gove
The Press is very simple in its construction!
quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it 1
cun be operated by any known power, s-cH
Steam, Water, Horse or Hand. In usino- Hort
power but one horse is required, the Pres-* bei
so mechanically constructed on a well-knot
principle that the tL#'power increases inaareai
ratio than the increasing resistance. 1
The advantages of this Press over all othel
are as follows, • viz;
Ist. It can press 20 per cent, more material 1
a giver space.
2d. 11 can do the work in 33 per cent.less tim
3d. It requires 50 per cent, lest driving powe
4th. It turns out the best shaped bale lor hant
ling or rolling,
sth. The Press will last a life-time, he worli
ing parts being built of the best of iron, and nr
liable to get cut of order.
The ordinary work of this machine will presi
in one operation (after once fillimr the box of tho
No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 450'lbs. weight in
pr*Two Minutes.
Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of
Hay a day.
Four men without the aid of a horse, or any
power except that contained in the "ress, can
-turn out a bale of nay 27 inches square by 46 inch
es long, weighing 460 lbs., or 23 1-2 lbs. to the cu
bic foot.
No toggle joints, screws, cog-wheels, beaters
or rollers used in this Press.
The attertiou of Cotton factors and planters,
Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially called to
this Press, destined as it is to work a complete
revolution in the now tdow, clumsy and expen- 1
sive method of baling.
The Company will dispose of Town, County or
State rights (reserving to themselves only 'the
right to manufacture) on reasonable terms.
Mr. N. D. Fisher is the authorized Traveling
Agent for the Company in the Eastern and Mid
die States.
For further particulars send for circulars.
