'•ROCK OF AGES.”
"Rock of ages cleft for me,”
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung;
Fell the w ords unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue ;
Sang as little children sing ;
Sang as sing the birds in June ;
Fell the words like light leaves down
Cn the current of the tune—
“ Rock of age3 cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.”
“Let trie hide myself in thee”-
Felt her soul no need to hide—
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside ;
All the wdrds unheedingly
Fell from lips'untouched by care,
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips a prayer— •
“Rock ot ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.”
“Rock of ages, cleft for me,”
'Twas a woman sang them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully ;
Every word her heart did 1 tnw.
hose the song as storm-tossed b r 1
Bents with weary wing the air,
Every note with sOiroW stirred,
Every syllable a prayer—
“ Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.”
Rock of ages, cleft for me"—
Lips grown aged sang the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim—
“ Let me hide myself in thee.”
Trembling though the voice dud low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully
Like a river in its flow ;
Sang as only they can sirtg
Who behold the promised rest—-
“Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee.”
“Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Sung above a coffin lid ;
Underneath all restfully,
All life’s joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, oh, storm-tossed soul!
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore jrom billows roll
Wilt thou need thyself to hide,
Could the sightless, sunken eyes
Closed beneath the soft gray hair
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again Jin pleadiug prayer,
Still, aye still, the words wou.d b—
“Let me hide myself in thee.”
LAUGjiOGEAMS.
“Oil, I loved before,” said a Madison county
Woman to her fourth husband, as she took a
handful of hair from his head because he ob
jected to hang ottt the week’s washing.
When a Cincinnati young man soys to his
soul’s idol, ‘’Don’t kiss me any more now, my
love ; I am tired,” she knows he has just been
shaved by one of those pretty female barbers.
“Mr. Smithers, how can you sleep ? Tiie sun
has been up these two hours.” “Well, what if
it has ?” said Smithers. ‘He gods to bed at dark
While I’m up till after midnight.”
“Then you won’t lend me that dime novel,
eh ?” inquired one boy ot another in the post
office Saturday. “No, I won’t.” “All right
then ; next time our chimney burns out you
shan’t come into tile yard and whoop and hoi
ler.”
While a couple of women were discussing the
bther day the merits of a' certain celebrated
physician, one of them asked the other what
kind of a docter lie was. “Sure, I dunno,” was
the reply, “but I think it’s an alapaco doctor
they call him.”
The president of a twenty-five mile railroad
In loWa discharged a conductor because that
official didn’t take off his hat when he addressed
him.
A nGw made grave in Connecticut shows
where the man is who last week drank five
glasses of whiskey at one sitting.
“Smothered Venus” is a California dish. In
spite of its name, it is only beefsteak and on
ions.
“See,” said a sorrowing Wife, “how peaceful
the tftt and dog are.” “Yes,” said the surly
lord of the manor, “but just tie them together,
and then see how the fur will fiy ”
White Guest—You don’t mean to say you in

Colored ditto—Yes, boss, but don’t ’pologisc;
I can stand it if you can.—[Graphic.
In Belocliistan when a girl agrees to marry a
young man and then fiu"ks out, his mother can
lawfully claim one of the maiden’s ears and
the maiden walk off on the other.
“No, Joe, no,” said a man of principle and
compassion, as, with his teeth chatteri..g, he
leaned against the bar, “no hot Scotch for me.
I couldn’t swallow it while hundreds of wretch
ed people are freezing at this moment. Gimme
a whiskey sour end plenty of ice. God pity
the poor!”
A colored patient the other day to his phys
ician : “Doctor, I’m jes dredful; I’ve had the
fleuring in my hip, and a sore on the roof of
my tongue; I’ve put on a mustard altercation
and goggled my mouth, but it done do me no
good.”
When a man comes into a newspaper office,
asks for a-paper, and asks “How much is the
damage ?” without making even a pretence to
putting his hands in his pocket, we have our
opinion of that man.
Sentiment is nothing but sentiment. An ex
army captain in Colorado, when dying, asked
the boys to wrap the old Hag around him. They
hadjno flag, and so they wrapped him in a coffee
sack, and he exclaimed, “Ah 1 may you all die
as proudly”
“Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy,” said a member of the
Womar’s Rights Association, bending over the
cradle of her sleeping babe ; “why wern’t you
born a girl, Jimmy. It almost breaks your mo
ther’s heart to think that you must grow un a
great, nasty, noisy boy, and smell ot shoe
leather.”
SOAKING A YANKEE.
“Say ! You ! Mister ! Look!” said a
specimen of the genuine Yankee, the
other day, to a slightly built citizen, who
was hurrying past him at the southern
part o! the city.
“Well, what is it? Be quick about
it—l am in a big hurry,” replied the cit
izen
“W and, I spose you can stop and araser
a civil question, can't ye ?”
‘ C rtainly, what is it ?”
“Is there much small pox about
n aow ?”
“I think there is ; you had better avoid
crowded places, and"—
“Yaas, I know ; that’s what our doc
tor told me s so I got out at Roxbury de
pot instead of riding in to the Boston
bne, walkin down because”—
“But, sir, I’ve answered your question,
and you must excuse me from stopping
any longer.”
“Shan’t do no such thing, what’n
thunder’s the use of your getting huffy
about it?”
“Sir, you are evidently from the coun
try, and don’t consider—
“ Consider be darned ! It’s you city
people that consider yourselves so con
founded stuck up, you can't "speak to
common folks.”
“I was about to say,” said the citizen,
“that you don’t consider the risk you
run in stopping a stranger”—
“Risk ?” said the man, forgetting his
small-pex scare* and misinterpreting the
caution.
“Risk ?” why there’s a fist (doubling
one that looked like a flitch of bacon) \
that would knock you inter the middle
of next week.”
“No doubt of it,” replied tbe other,
drawing back as it flourished in danger
ous proximity to liis nose.
“Ya is, my little feller,” continued
Rusacus, laying both hands upon the
lapel of the man’s coat, and drawing him
close towards him. “1 could throw you
clean over ray head, if I had a mind
tew.”
“Take your hands off me, sir. You
don’t know what you are doing ! You
don’t know who I am.”
“Don’t know who you be ? Wall, who
are you! Governor, or the State consta
ble ?”
“No, I’m one of the nurses from the
small-pox hospital over’yonder, and I’m
going to get some medicine at the doc
tor’s office, and you are stopping me,
and running something of a risk in do
ing so."
The Yankee evidently was of the same
opinion, for he let go the lappels of his
coat collar, as if he had been red hot,
and stepped aside as if he had seen a lo
comotive coming for him at a mile a min
ute speed.
Then casting a hurried glance at the
hospital “over yonder,” he left in the op
posite direction, and was last seen in a
chemist’s shop negotiating for a pound
of cnloride of lime and a quart bottle of
disinfecting fluid.

THE “€\qi!EROK.”
The above illustration, though without stand,
shows the wonderful simplicity of the Lyon
Sewing .Machine, the “Conqueror.” Mr. Lyon,
the Inventor, was for many years the Pres : dent
and Manager of the Finkle & Lyon S. M. Cos.,
and hence enjoyed the facility for the study of
the sewing machine art and its adaptation to ev
ery variety of sewing manufacture, both in the
family and in tbeship,and the invention proves
a great success. It lias overcome tbe tour great
radical defects of shuttle machines, viz:
1. Want of space under the arm.
2. Want of durability—too much friction.
3. Too heavy running—tires the operator.
4. Too much jar and noise.
No other shuttle machine has ever snccessful
ly overcome these four great defects.
; We know the machine honestly excels any
, thing we have to contend with in the market.
We realize that these are strong assurances,
! but v, e offer them without the least misgivings.
; for we know whereof we affirm.
Ii t -We therefore offer the machine upon its own
merits, and if it does not prove satisfactory, it
can be returned any time within 60 days and
money refunded.
Our LIST PRICES will be the same as other
first class machines, but in neighborhoods where
we have no Agent, special inducements will be
offered. Each machine is supplied, without ex
[ tra charge, wit' Hemmer, Quilter, Guage,
Guagc Screw. Screw Driver, six Bobbins, one
dozen Needles, Oil Can filled with Oil, Bel* and
Instruction Buok.
N. B.—We shall appoint AGENTS with exclu
sive Territory for Towns or Counties or States,
and we hope to render these agencies permanent
i by the liberal inducements we offer and the in
; trinsie merits of the machine.

SUPERB PREMIUM ENGRAVING
FOR 1875.
COSTING $2,000 TO ENGRAVE.
GEN. WASHINGTON S FIRST INTERVIEW
WITH HIS WIFE.
GET UP YOUR CLUBS AT ONCE.
This magnificent premium engraving is tore
ward those who get up clubs for
PE T E E SON’S MAG AZIN E,
for 1875. It is after an original picture by the
celebrated artist Enninger, and represents the
first interview of Washington with the fair
widow who afterwards became his wife, and is
known in history as Lady Washington. The
story is quite romantic. During the great French
and Indian war of 1755, Washington, then about
to proceed to the froi tier, stopped for an hour’s
refreshment at the hospitable mansion known
then, as now, a3 the White House, in Virginia.
There he met, for the first time, the fair widow
who afterwards became his wife. Beguiled by
her charms and conversation, he remained hour
after hour, his orderly leading his horse to and
froacross the lawn. It is this incident which
tileengraving represents.
It is the Largest and Most Costly
We have ever offered, and can only he had of
us, as it will not l>e sold elsewhere. At a retail
store similar pictures are sold at front six to ten
dollars cacli. It is engraved in the very highest
style of the art after an original picture, and for
patriotic as well as artistic reasons ought to be
in every borne in America.
To accommodate the tens of thousands of
persons who will desire to have this engraving,
we offer it as a'premium to persons getting up

Pg'ill’ Bitters aro a purely Vegetable)
preparation, made chiefly from tlio na
tive herbs found on the lower ranges cf
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extractod therefrom without the use
of Alcohol. Tho question i-s almost
daily asked, “ What is tho cause of tin*
unparalleled success of Vinkgar Hit
ters?” Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and llio patient re
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Fnvigorator
of tho systom. Never before in the
history of tho world lias a modieinc boon
compounded possessing tho remaikabl*
qualities of Yinkcjar Bittkbs in healing tho
siek of every disease man i* heir to. They
arc a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation oi
tho Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
Diseases
The properties of Dr. Wai.kkr’s
Yikkoau Bitters are Aperient, Diaphorsfcie,
Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diaretio,
Sedative. Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wonderful ln
vigorant that ever sustained th“ sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their hones aro not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious, Remittent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so preva

those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout oar
ontiro country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, w
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. Thera
is no cathartic for the purpose equal t
Du. .1. Walkku’s Vinegar Bitth**,
as they will speedily remove the darX
colored viscid matter with which tfc*
bowels are loaded, at the sumo time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring tho healtay
functions of the digestive organs.
