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.

Corner of Grove and North Third ste., • Jersey City. 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. ! Mr. N. D.
