OUR HOMESTEAD.
BY P. CAREY.
Our old brown homestead reared its walls,
From the wayside dust aloof,
Where the apple-boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on its roof;
And the cherry-tree so near it grew,
That when awake I’ve lain,
In the lonesome nights I*ve heard the limbs,
As they creaked against the pane :
And those orchard trees, oh, those orchard trees !
I've seen my little brothers rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze.
The sweet brier under the window sill.
Which the early birds made glad,
And the damask rose by the garden fence,
Were all the flowers we had.
I've looked at many a flower since then,
Exotics rich and rare,
That to other eyes were lovelier,
But not to me so fair;
For those roses bright, oil those roses bright!
I have twined them with my sister’s locks,
That are laid in the dust from sight!
o
We had a well, a deep old well,
Where the spring was nevor dry,
And the cool drops down from the mossy stones
Were falling constantly ;
And there never was water half so sweet
As that in my little cup,
Drawn up to the curb by the rude old sweep,
Which my father's hand set up;
And that deep old well, oh, that deep old well!
I remember yet the plashing sound
Os the bucket as it fell.
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet,
There my mother’s voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I’ve sat on my father’s knee,
And watched his thoughtful brow,
W ith my childish hand in his raven hair—
That hair is silver now !
But that broad hearth’s light, oil, that broad hearth’s light!
And my father's look, and my r mother’s smile,
They are in my heart to-night.
Greatness. —The secret of greatness lies in be
ing fertile in expedients. All great men are so,
whether statesmen, or generals, or authors. They
don t make a handsome, tidy, comfortable theory
in their own minds, and then throw away every
thing they meet with, because it does not exactly
suit the place they have got ready for it; but they
take the world as they find it, and having got their
material they improve here and correct there, they
invent this and beautify that, and combine all, till
at last they have built up a great edifice to the
glory of God ; and the irregularity and variety,
the dreamy light and doubrful shadows, are, in
fact, the beauty it.
“ Make the best of it! *’ —that is the motto of all
practical greatness —and what a best it is some
times! Plow infinitely and wonderfully the re
sult transcends the means! Well, and the same
sort of mind which, when the proportions are
large, is fit to rule the world, must be necessary,
though with small proportions, for the guidance of
a family, or a course of every day duties. Os
that lam quite sure. And this is a woman’s busi
ness, not to sit down and grieve in wardly because
she cannot do what she would, but to do” what she
can and that cheerfully'. Goethe says, “it is
well for a woman when no work seems too hard
for her or too small, when she is able to forget her
self and to live entirely otherwise.”
A man of all Work. —We take it, Mr. James
M. Rix, ed.tor and proprietor of the Coos County
(N. II.) Democrat, is a working man. He not only
is editor and proprietor of aforesaid Coos County
Democrat, but, as his paper shows, he holds the
office of Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
for that county, and performs the duties in per
son ; he offers for sale a small assortment of shell
combs y anew edition of forms for Justices of
Peace and Sheriffs ; the New Rules of Court;
Dodd’s Horse Medicines; Jewett’s Medicines ;
I itch’s Lectures, &c. He seems also to be de
voting a portion of his leisure time to the active
business of a Historical Society", and doubtless
attends to some few duties which are not specified
in the small sheet before us.
The Ever Bearing Raspberry.-- This fruit was
discovered near Lake Erie, in the Ohio. It is a
berry of dark color, approaching the black. It
ripens the last of June, and it continues bearing
and putting out new blossems till killed by the
frost. There is another kind, the origin cannot
be traced beyond the late Dr. Hosack’s garden of
this city. Thomas Addis Emmet, Esq., of New
\°rk, rears them in great abundance, and very
kindly gives away the cuttings of his vines in
March to those who wish to propage this fruit.
Girls , Read 4'his. —A few days since a young
gentleman related to us the following : He said
that his mother was speaking in the evening at the
social home circle, “of fortune’s changes,” and
remarked “that in her girlhood, at a social party 7 ,
where there was music and dancing, a young blue
eyed, light haired boy asked her to dance. She
refused, and thought him rather presuming, as he
was the son of a blacksmith, and she the daughter
Ca P l - > a Militia Captain. There was a
difference in the social position. That boy is the
p resen t Gjvernor af Mas-ach it set is !! ! ”
A WORD TO OUR FRIENDS.
WE cannot suffer the present opportunity to pass b> without
saying something for the veiy liberal patronage whir h you
have extended to us. Our success thus far, is without a parallel.—
For all however, we are indebted to you, and lor which you
have our unfeigned thanks.
We have now but one more request to make, and it is this—send
all of your friends and your friends’ friends to see us—tellthem
that our stock of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods,
BONNETS, RIBBONS, &c. *
is now completed. Tell them that we are offering daily, great bar
gains—such as are seldom met with at this season of the year.—
Fell them that our stock of Dry Goorfs is entirely new. Thatour
lights are superior to any establishment of the kind in the city, so
that they need not fear to buy, as they can see exactly what the
goods are. And lastly, tell them that we are doing business en
tirely on the Cash System —consequently we are compelled to sell
ow.

BLAKE’S PATENT,
FIRE-PROOF PAINT, FROM OHIO.
FjjglHlS Singular and valuable Substance is sold in fine powder,
M. then mixed with linseed oil to the consistency of thick paint,
and applied with a brush, and after an exposure of a few months to
the atmosphere, this coating becomes a perfect slate or coat of mail
protecting whatever is covered from the action of the weather and
fiom fire.
It is a mineral substance, and has been found upon analyzation
by Dr. Chilton, of the city of New Yoik, to consist ot larger pro
portions of Silicia Alumine, Prot. Oxide of Iron and Magnesia,
with lesser of Lime and Carbon. It is used extensively for cover
ing roofs of either shingles, matched boards, tin, zinc, sheet iron or
thick paper, if your shingles have been on for years, you have only
to sweep off themossand lint, with a stiff broom, and cover with
two or three good coats, and in a few months you have a perfect slate
roof, impervious to the action of the weather and fire. There is
nothing equal to it for steamboats and car decks, for all kinds of iron
it forms a coating nearly as hard as the iron itself, and never cleaves
off. It should be used for everything that you wish to piotect lrom
fire and weather.
In some places a spurious article has been sold as the genuine,
therefore purchasers should be careful to buv of authorized Agents

ASTH3VIA and CONSUMPTION
The uniform success which has attended the use of tins pro
paration—its salutary effect —its power to relieve and cure
lions of the Lungs, have gained for il a celebrity equalled by no
other medicine. We offer it to the afflicted with entire confi.
donee in its virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and
remove the severest attacks of disease upon the throat and
Lungs. These results, as they become publicly known, very
naturally attract the att< nlion cf medical men and philanthro
pists everywhere. What is their opinion oi CHERRY PEC
TORAL may be seen in the following :
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.,
Prof. Surgery Med. College, JYnv York, says:—
“ It gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of
Ayer s ( 11ERRY PECTORAL, which 1 consider peculiady
adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and Lungs.”
THE KT. REV. BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast sinking under an
affection of the Lungs:—“Try the CHERRY PECTORAL,
and it any medicine can give you relief, with the blessing ot
God that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter of his was cured
of several severe attacks of Croup by the ‘CHERRY PLCTO
RAL.”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The. Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “ That Asthma and Bronchitis so prevalent in this in
clement climate, has yielded with surprising rapidity to Ayers
CHERRY PECTORAL, and we cannot too strongly recom
mend this skilful preparation to the Profession and Public gen
erally.”
READ THE EVIDENCE.
Albany, N. Y April 17, 1848.
Dr. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir:—l have for years been afflicted
with Asthma in the worst form ; so that I have been obliged to
sleep in my chair for a larger part of the time, being unable to
breathe on my bed. I had tried a great many medicines to no
purpose, until nty- Physician proscribed, as an experiment,your
CHERRY PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less than a week
began to experience the most gratifying relief from its use;
and now, in four weeks the disease is entirely removed. J can
sleep on my bed with comfort, and enjoy a state ol health
which I had never expected to enjoy.
