Ob, I'm sick of the sickel, Molley daar, And stoopin' so long and so low, And it's a little sorrow it gives me To give the ould bother the go ; And when another harvest comes, By the powers ! I'd like to see The money, or anything else that 'ud make A rapin' machine of mel I've raped in the North and the South country, And I've raped in the Dothians three,\ And I've erossed the Trish Sea so oft That they gave it is name from me, I've raped your wheat and your barley. And your oats and your beans, sez Pat, But as for profit-its sorra the rapin' That ever I raped of that! So good luck to yez, Misther M'Cormick, And your Riverence, Misther Boli, And good luck to yez, Misther Samuelson- 4 - I wish your honor well. ' The shearér's: foot in the field ._ Ye've fairly cut away, But it's not been worth the standia' on Bedad, this many a day. And now the horse \takes the harvest in hand, And pulls the huge machines That go snicking and clicking across the fields Of wheat, oats, barley,and beans. Machines for sowin' and thrashin' And rapin between and betwist- In throth, It's my private opnion they'll have A machine for eatin' next! Then, we'll throw the sicke] aside, Molly, And go and try our luck On the banks of the far Australian streams, Where the otter builds like a duck : For there's mate and drink and clothes, Molly, And riches and rank to be won, At the Anti---: what dy'e call the place On t'other side of the sun ? * And there'll be no land-agents, > Nor middle-men, nor Jews, But you'll see me stoning lumps of gold At the thieving kangaroos ; 20 And we'll bid a long good bye, Molly, To a dale of bloody fun At the Anti---: what d'ye call the place At t'other side of the sun ? * And no more masses to pay for, Good day. to you, Father O'Bladd, The last confession from me, falks, And the very last penny ye've had. It's little your riverence leaves behind The day ye pardon sin; And the prophet sez, ye purge our dross And take away all our tin! . Ye,vea bandage on your wrist, Molly ; That wrist with gems I'll deck, And a string of nuggets, like mill-stones, I'll hang around your neck. And will live in a nate retirement, Where our nearest neighbor 'ill be, The Emperor of China, who Will sometimes jine us at tea. - Och;-the world we're leavin' Molly, Is a world of Hitter care, For even the pigs and the praties are not The angels that once they were ; But the world we're goin' to Mol, __ Is where the gantsof ould Buried, for want'of a better bank, Their stockin'legs filled with gould. It's a world of wonders, Molly A world without a peer ! And what it has, and what it wants, We've nothing like it here; , But of all the wondrous things, Molly, The strangest thing to me Is, that there the workingman's the man Gets first to the top of the tree. ‘ . -London Punch. 4 \ \I am reminded of the good wonian,\ Spurgeon said,; illustrated the rest of the soul in God, in a time of fearful earthquake, by saying to her affrighted friends, 'How glad I am that God can shake the world I always believed that He could, and now -I see Him do it.\ , @-tlp~@ f A regular M.

Hons Van Squnselum, the great German historian. \Give glass lager and switzer kase,\ which. translated from the original, signifies, \I am sick, send for McGinais.\ ' After being made cognizant of the above fact, you will undoubtediy wond>r why this is thusly, but after reading the beading of my letter, and then referring to your men:al geography, you will at once perceive the fact I am at Yankton, D. T. This, I believe, is recorded on the 44th chapter, and in the 16th page. Very few people in the East have any conception of the magni- tude of this country. For fnstance, Yankion is Namerous steamboats ply up and down the Mis- souri River 2,200 miles beyond this place.- | Yankton is a thriving town of 1,500 inhabitants, situated on the Missourt River, and was once the hunting grounds of the Indians ; but now, thro' the kind heartedness of our berevolent and cbris- tian government, they are cared for at a point farther up the River, and much better than our poor suffering whites in your midst: but this I suppose, is owing to the fact they never rob. murders, and eat the poor unprotected pioneer, as | has the \noble red man.\ ._ Not wishing to weary you with a long, tedious. letter, I will give a brief sketch of the trip from Sioux City, Iowa, and the stage stations, and: advise all who contemplate visiting this part of the country. to cut this out, and bring it with: them for future reference. a passage on the North Western Stage Co's line, and if possible, go the same day Mr. Geo. C. Sherman, the gentlemanly and relia- wants, and give valuable information of the coun- try, its population and many advantages, togeth- er with an occasional little anecdote to cheer thee on thy way. Leaving Sioux City 4 o'clock in the morning, you arrive at Joa's 12 mile house, and take a little 40 rod killer as an eppetizer, breakfast, light a mixture of Connecticut and cabbage leaves, (unless you @re fortunate in hav- ing a stock of Havannas,) give the driver a couple, and then with Sherman, mount the top of the stage, sing out 'all aboard, the whip cracks, and away we sail for Vermillion, where we dine, arriving at Yankton at 5 P. M., always bearing in mind to tell the driver to tike you to the St. Charles Hotel, which is the largest and best fur- nished House in the Territory, where you alight and are greeted by either Mr. Sweetzer, or Cook, and immediately made to feel at home. Perhaps a word here may not be out of place as regards this admirably kept house. It is a large 3 story building, with billiard parlors and bar below, furnished with black walout furniture, Brassel carpets, spring beds, with sheets changed every morning. Table elegantly furnished with silver ware mrde to order, and the name of the house engraved on each piece. Attentive waiters, and plenty of good well cooked viands. After rest- ing a day or two, and seeing the sights, step into, Burrows' livery stable, in the rear of the hotel, and tell him you want a rattling, raring, tearing, ripping, red-hot team, and if you don't get it, the next time you see the subscriber, ask him to join you in partaking of a libation, and my word for it, he was never known to refuse. Neither has Mr. Burrows been known to turn out a poor rig, Drive up the River as far as you choose, and when you have been sufficiently amused, return to Y.; go to Charlie Bramles, sing out \How ;\ Tell him to show you something that never was seen before, and I guess you will like him and the aurora borealis which paints the sky in rosy mountain peaks.

Dear Frankie, Bessie; Madge; My own dear \Gor-| qo Con. .0 l gither Dies? , :- The fact that Chang, one of the Siamese twins, had 'been paralyzed, was some time ago reported by the press; and as the singalar union of these brothers who are joined together by a hollow cartiligious band or ligature, has been the cause of much speculation and theorizing by eminent medical men in this country and Europe, the fol« lowing details, which were given by a gentleman who recently met them ar their home, will be of special interest to those who have a taste for the investigation of physical phenomena,. Chang and Eng visited Europe in February last under an engagement to exhibit themselves as & curiosity. They remained abroad about six months, returning to this country in the Cunard gast. While on the way over, as they were seat- ed at a table engaged in a game of chess with the captain of the ship, Chang was struck with paralysis of the right side. He became utterly helpless, and was opliged to keep in bed for the remainder of the voyage. Of course Eng, al- though not atall affected in his own person by: the unhappy visitation which afflicted his broth- er, was obliged to keep the latter company and: also confine himself to his berth. On the arrival of the steamer, the twins spent several days in Taylor's Hotel in Jersey City, and Chang improved so much that the brothers were able to sit up, and finally to go to their. home in Mt. Airy, Surrey County, N. C. . . Since their return to North Carolina Chang has gained steadily in general health, but his right prevent the twins from going about and attend- ing to their ordinary avocations. Those who have seen this curious pair will recollect that on the left, and that the inside arm of each is, usually thrown around the other's back or neck. In their present condition, the- way they manage: to move from place. to place, is this: Uhang ties up his right or inside leg in a sling, and with the support given him by a crutch under the left: shoulder, and the a.d of his brother's arm, finds. no-difficulty in making his way around the plan-. tation as easily as ever. The most singular thing_about this extraor« dinary case is the fact that during the whole of: Chang's severe and dangerous illness, Eng has; been in unusually good health and spirits, not excepting the time during which he was confined: to his brother's sick bed. He has no wish to be disunited from Chang, even if he could, be convinced that the operation would be free from inconvenience or danger : and a son recently re- marked to a friend that he did not beleive that his father would ever consent to a separation should Chang die first. Distinguighed medical authorities have differed in regard to:the practicability of separating the twins by a surgical operation, though the gener- al opinion has been that it might be accomplish- ed with safety. Some have supposed that the fact that the brothers have but a single umbilicus, which is situated in the middle of the ligature that unites them, indicates a conversion -in the circulation of the blood through the two bodies which would render ar operation dangerous ; but the circumstances attending Chang's illness seem One peculiar inconvenience has resulted from Chang's misfortune. Chang and Eng, both of whom have considerable families, keep up distinct domestic establishments, and their houses are separated by a distance of three-fourths of a mile. Between the two residences flows a rapid creak, which they crossed by means of a foot bridge, consisting of a single log, squared and hewed. Over this narrow pathway the two could cross with ease while they were both well, but in Chang's present condition they find it impossible to acconaplish the passage. As they are men of no little force 'of character, however, it is alto- means to obviate so vexatious a difficulty.-N. ¥, Sun. f @- A very sad case is reported in Owego. A young man was spending the evening with a married lady. The lady's husband inconveniently put in an appearance, and the young man, with only a portion of his apparel, escaped to the gar- ret of the house, thence to the roof to one ten feet below . Having reached the latter, he could not get back, and he dared not jump down, so he stayed there all night. At carly morn the sympa- thetic clerks of a neighboring grocery procured a ladder apd released him from his dreary watch. No cards. - 4p nwn A merchant, having sustained a considerable loss, desired his to mention it to any- body. The youth promised silence, but at the same time requested to know what advantage could attend it. \If you divalge this loss, \said the father, \we skall have two evils to support instead of one-our own grief and the joy of our neighbors.\ mown~-~--<@ Ole has no use, have been shipped to France. wa Congress convened at Washington yesterday. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, , ., __ - The' Van Deusen. Brothers.. | The Van Deusen Brothers are a remarkable ex- 'ample of sugcess in business. After serving an apprenticeship with Johr R. Gorhman, one of © the oldest and best Drugpgests in Newburgh, N. Y., they commenced for themselves, as pedlars of Drugs and Fancy Articles,. They next became proprietors of a small drug store in Rondout. Their next move was the opening of a drug store at the corner of Crown and North Front streets in this village. Soon after a better location was found for their Rondout store, and for several years they did a thriving business at both, loca- , tions. Nome years since they commenced put- ting up for the trade, a preparation for the laun- dry, known as \ Chemical Blue.\ Later they commenced manufacturing a worm - medicine, knowa as \Van Deusen's Worm Confections.\ This has peen introduced to the trade in. all parts - of the United States, Canada and West Indies, and now has an extensive sale. It gives entire satisfaction in every case of use, and has become a popular medicine. Since the introduction of this preperation, the Messers. Van Deusen have introduced several others, such as \ Ready Rem- edy,\ \Cough Balsam,\ \ Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills,\ \Cathartic Pills,\ &c., &c. The exellence. of their, Worm Confections, and the wide and favorable reputation their large sale has given this firm, made the introduction of their other remedies an easy affair. They »are now largéley engaged in the preparation of thefe medicines, and their sales of them are growing immense. They bave lately published a neat pamphlet entitled \ Everybody's Friend,\ in which, along with interesting miscellaneous. read- ing, and valuable receipes for the kitchen and the sick room, are set forth the exéllencies aud manner of administering the Van Dusen Rem- édieg. On this book they print the business card of every person or firm who buy and sell their preparations, aud farnish them with a number for gratuitous cirealation, Two years ago the Van Densen Brothers opened a third establishment in Wall street, in this village. This is as fine, if not the finest Drug Store between Albany and New York, and is a model of beauty and con- venience. The establishment on the 'corner of Crown and North Front, now known as-their- \Old Store,\ is more especially devoted to whole- sale operations, and the manufacture of their med- icines. In the preparation of these they employ a large number of girls; The store on Wall street fnd the one in Rondout, extends through from street to street, and thus goods can be taken in and out whithout interfering with customers. The Van Deusen Brothers are largely engaged in the sale of Refined Kerosene Oil. They are interested in a large refinery located in the Oil Regions, and they are enabled to supply oil in lots to dealers at a price which makes it an ob- ject to buy of them, rather than of New York city wholesale dealers, The great purity and free- dom from danger in using this oil has become es- tablished. Whe operations of this firm in this branch of business are daily growing, and 'are destined to attain large proportions The firm of Van Deusen Brothers consists Jacob B., George N., Columbus, and James L. V an Deuasen. The two first named conduct the business in this village, and the two last named in Rondout, They are greatly esteemed as industrious workers, and for their business enterprise and intergrity in all dealings., This is shown in the compound ing of their medicines; while some manufacturers of \Patent Medicines,\ so called, palm off upon the public a worthless mass of impure ingredients careless and nastily put together, this firm use pure ingredients, and so compound them as: to get the real essence of the component parts, and - leave out all impurities. Hence their remedies have the largest medicinal power, and produce the most marked effects of a curative character. In short, this firm in making their medicines, act intelligently and honestly. The Van Deusen Brothers appreciate the value of printer's ink. They have expended much money for printing and advertising, yet they have not committed the error of Indulging in sensational dodges and bom- bastic fights, or pretending that their remedies would perform miraculous cures. They have simply told the truth about what they had to sell, The people bave tried their preparations, found them good, 'and have continued to buy them. As an exarnple of what patient industry, eco- nomical management of affairs, integrity in deal- ing, and a proper advertising of one's business will do, we can offer no mote striking example than of the suceess of the Van Deasen Brothers. -Rondout Democral. Gp \Teach your sons,\ says Agesilaus, \that which they will practice when they become men.\ Yes; give them instruction in those branches which they most need for direct living. The age is practical and éalls for practical and usfal knowl- edge, Give your boys a business education and they will become self-sustaining at once. They will then become weaned from father's purse, and carn their own money. ~ minn er...
