MY NEIGHBOR OVER THE WAY.
We And the following homely poem in the
Trinity (Cal.) Journal. The editor says t4 tbe au
thor, L. F. Wells, has produced some of the
sweetest verses that have been sent from Cali
fornia to traverse the circle of the Eastern Press.
Be is an ‘honest miner,’ of Trinity county, and
withal a gentleman of exuberant and happy
fancies: n
The sun sends a ray throngh the hazy rift,
And kisses the smiling plain,
Where the rain brings a golden Christmas gift.
To gladden our vision again.
1 bow my head o’er the Christmas board,
And with penitent spirit pray,
Ch ! pardon the sins of my neighbor. Lord—
My neighbor over the way.
1 wonder how much he has gained this year.
~ His business taet is so poor ;
If I had his chance I know I could clear
What would make my fortune secure.
Be makes foolish bargains in stock,and in wares,
I have noted him day by day.
Though I never trouble my head with affairs
Os my neighbor over the way.
Bis wife is extravagant, so they say;
- She has purchased three dresses this fall,
When she knows he will have that mortgage to
pay
Whenever the holder may call.
And they say thftt she worries his very life
With her whims and her fancies each day— (
O, I thank my stars I’ve a different wife,
From my neighbor over the way.
Bis home must be anything else but gay,
His children are notably bad—
They whistle and chatter enough every day
To drive Madame Patience mad ;
I would teach them to romp without bustle or
noise,
And in dignified silence play,
If I had the charge of my neighbors’s boys—
My neighbor over the way,
I’ve been told he has taken to drinking now—
And liquor’s a terrible curse;
They say he has been in many a row,
And he’s getting from bad to worse.
I'm a sociable man myself, and as such
Take a glass in a sociable way,
3 would quit at once, if I drank as much
As my neighbor over the way.
There is villainy found in each country nook,
And villainy stalks in town;
And a Ready-Reckoner keeps a book
With each separate item down.
The account is added, the figure is high,.
*1 Seine one will have to pay ;
It isn’t you, reader, no more than I,
'Tis our neighbor over the way.
The sun sends a ray through the hazy rift,
And kisses the smiling plain,
Where the rain brings a golden Christmas gilt,
To gladden our vision again.
3 bow my head o’er the Christinas board,
And with penitent spirit pray, ,
Oh ! pardon the sins of my neighbor, Lord—
My neighbor over the way.

THE AMERICAN HAY AND COTTON
TRESS CO. MANUFACTORY.
Corner of Grove and North Third ste.,

OFFICE,
No. 113 Wall-st, New York.
GOVE’S PATENT.
The attention of ail parties interested in the
pressing or compressing of Hay, Cotton, Hemp,
Wool, Rags. Hops, or any other article required to
be baled for Transportation, Storage or Consump
tion. is respectfully solicited, to the PORTABLE
or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by
this Company, under the superintendence of the
Patentee, Mr. John H. Gove
The Press is very simple in its construction, re
quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, „nd
can be operated by any known power, s ich as
Steam, W ater, Horse or Hand. In using Horse
power but one horse is required, the Press being
so mechanically constructed on a well-known
principle that the power increases in a greater
ratio than the increasing resistance.
The advantages of this Press over all others
are as follows, viz:
Ist. It can press 20 per cent, more material in
a given space.
2d. It can do the work in S3 per cent.less time.
3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power.
4th. It turns ont the beet shaped bale for hand
ling or rolling.
sth. The Press will last a life-time, the work
ing parts being built of the best of iron, and not
liable to get out of order.
The ordinary work of this machine will press
in one operation (after once filling the box of the
No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 450 lbs. weight in
CSfTwo Minutes, sr-t
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 ’"'rese, can
turn out a bale of hay 27 inches square bv 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 attentiou 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 slow, clumsy and expen
sive method of haling.
The Company will dispose of Town, County or
State rights (reserving to themselves '.only the
right to manufacture) on reasonable terms.

j Agent for the Company in the Eastern and Mid
i die States.
