There’s good In tears, or they had not been sent 
By Him ■who is all good! It is not wise 
To keep our sorrows in our hearts up-pent, 
When we can give them freedom from our eyes. 
The storm-cloud only darkens our fair earth, 
Until it falleth down in gentle rain; 
And then what wondrous beauties have their birth; 
60 , when the heart is overcharged with pain, 
We see a shadow upon every good; 
But let our heavy sorrows have their way, 
And as they well into a tearful flood, 
What comfort may not come? Ah, who can say ? 
Grief hath a mission holier than joy— 
It moves the selfish, and it warms the cold; 
A common sorrow will e’en pain destroy, 
And change the king and beggar to one mold. 
Our griefs should make us gentler to our kind, 
And as we comfort need more comfort pay; 
So using sorrow, we our tears shall find 
Have washed some grossness of our souls away. 
Two men on their way home met at a street¬ 
crossing, and they walked on together. They were 
neighbors and friends. 
“ This has been a very hard day,” said Mr. 
Freeman, in a gloomy voice. And as they walked 
homeward they discouraged each other, and made 
darker the clouds that obscured their whole 
horizon. 
“Good evening,” was at last said hurriedly, and 
the two men passed into their homes. 
Mr. Walcott entered the room where his wife 
and children were gathered, and without speaking 
to any one, seated himself in a chair, and leaning 
his head back, closed his eyes. His countenance 
wore a sad, weary, exhausted look. He had been 
seated thus for only a few minutes, when his wife 
said, in a fearful voice: 
“More trouble again.” 
“ What is the matter now ?” asked Mr. Walcott, 
almost starting. 
“John has been sent home from school.” 
“What?” Mr. Walcott partly rose from his 
chair. 
“He has been suspended for bad conduct.” 
“Oh, dear?” groaned Mr. Walcott, “where is 
he?” 
“ Up in his room ; I sent him there as soon as 
he came home. You’ll have to do something with 
him. He’ll be ruined if he goes on in this way. 
I’m out of all heart with him.” 
Mr. Walcott, excited as much by the manner in 
which his wife conveyed the unpleasant informa¬ 
tion as by the information itself, started up, under 
the blind impulse of the moment, and going to 
the room where John had been sent on coming 
home from school, punished the boy severely, and 
this without listening to the explanations which 
the poor child tried to make him hear. 
“Father,” said the boy, with forced calmness, 
after the cruel stripes had ceased, “ I wasn’t to 
blame, and if you will go with me to the teacher, 
I can prove myself innocent.” 
Mr. Walcott had never known his son to tell an 
untruth, and the words fell with a rebuke upon 
his heart. 
“Very well, we will see about that,” he an¬ 
swered, with forced sternness, and leaving the 
room he went down stairs, feeling much more 
uncomfortable than when he went up. Again he 
seated himself in his large chair, and again leaned 
back his weary head and closed his heavy eyelids. 
Sadder was his face than before. As he sat thus, 
his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth year, came 
and stood by him. She held a paper in her hand. 
“ Father,” he opened his eyes, “ here’s my quar¬ 
ter’s bill. Cain’t I have the money to take to 
school with me in the morning ?” 
“ I am afraid not,” answered Mr. Walcott, half 
in despair. 
“ Nearly all the girls will bring in their money 
to-morrow, and it mortifies me to be behind the 
others.” The daughter spoke fretfully. Mr. Wal¬ 
cott waved her aside with his hand, and she went 
off muttering and pouting. 
“It is mortifying,” said Mrs. Walcott, a little 
sharply; “and I don’t wonder that Helen feels 
annoyed about it. The bill has to be paid, and I 
don’t see why it may not be done as well first as 
last.” 
To this Mr. Walcott made no answer. The 
words but added another pressure to the heavy 
burden under which he was already staggering. 
After a silence of some moments, Mrs. Walcott 
said: 
“ The coals are all gone.” 
“Impossible!” Mr. Walcott raised his head 
and looked incredulous. “ I laid in sixteen tuns.” 
“I cant help it, if there were sixty tuns instead 
of sixteen—they are all gone. The girls had hard 
work to-day to scrape up enough to keep the fire 
in.” 
“ There’s been a shameful waste somewhere,” 
said Mr. Walcott, with strong emphasis, starting 
up and moving about the room with a very dis¬ 
turbed manner. 
“So you always say, when anything runs out,” 
answered Mrs. Walcott, rather tartly. “ The bar¬ 
rel of flour is gone also; but I suppose you have 
done your part with the rest in using it up.” 
Mr. Walcott returned to his chair, and again 
seating himself, leaned back his head and closed 
his eyes as at first. How sad, and weary, and 
hopeless he felt! The burdens of the day had 
seemed almost too heavy for him; but he had 
borne up bravely. To gather strength for a re¬ 
newed struggle with adverse circumstances, he 
had come home. Alas! that the process of ex¬ 
haustion should still go on—that where only 
strength could be looked for on earth, no strength 
was given. 
When the tea bell was rung, Mr. Walcott made 
no movement to obey the summons. 
“Come to supper,” said his wife, coldly. 
But he did not stir. 
“ Are you not coming to supper?” she called to 
him as she was leaving the room. 
“I don’t wish for anything this evening. My 
head aches very much,” he answered. 
“In the dumps again,” muttered Mrs. Walcott 
to herself. “ It’s as much as one’s life is worth to 
ask for money, or to say anything is wanted.” 
And she kept on her way to the dining-room. 
When she returned her husband was still sitting 
where she had left him. 
“Shall I bring you a cup of tea?” she asked. 
“No, I don’t wish for anything.” 
“What’s the matter, Mr. Walcott? What do 
you look so troubled about, as if you hadn’t a 
friend in the world ? What have I done to you ?” 
There was no answer, for there was not a shade 
of real sympathy in the voice that made the 
queries, but rather of querulous dissatisfaction. 
A few moments Mrs. Walcott stood behind her 
husband, but as he did notseem inclined to answer 
questions, she turned away from him, and resumed 
the employment which had been interrupted by the 
ringing of the tea bell. 
The whole evening passed without the occur¬ 
rence of a single incident that gave a healthful 
pulsation to the- sick heart of Mr. Walcott. No 
thoughtful kindness was manifested by any mem¬ 
ber of the family; but on the contrary, a narrow 
regard for self, and a looking to him only that he 
might supply the means of self-gratification. 
No wonder, from the pressure which was on 
him, that Mr. Walcott felt utterly discouraged. 
He retired early, and sought to find that relief 
from mental disquietude in sleep which he had 
vainly hoped for in the bosom of his family. But 
the whole night passed in broken slumber and 
disturbing dreams. From the cheerless morning 
meal, at which he was reminded of the quarter’s 
bill that must be paid, of the coals and flour that 
were out, and of the necessity of supplying Mrs. 
Walcott’s empty purse, he went forth to meet the 
difficulties of another day, faint at heart, almost 
hopeless of success. A confident spirit, sustained 
by home affections, would have carried him 
through; but unsupported as he was, the burden 
was too heavy for him, and he sank under it. The 
day that opened so unpropitiously closed upon 
him a ruined man! 
Let us look in for a few moments upon Mr. 
Freeman, the friend and neighbor of Mr. Walcott. 
He, also, had come home weary, dispirited, and 
almost sick. The trials of the day had been un¬ 
usually severe, and when he looked anxiously for¬ 
ward to scan the future, not even a gleam of light 
was seen along the black horizon. 
As he stepped across the threshold of his dwel¬ 
ling, a pang shot through his heart, for the thought 
came—“ How slight the present hold upon all these 
comforts.” Not for himself, but for his wife and 
children was the pain. 
“Father’s come!” cried a glad little voice on 
the stairs the moment his footfall sounded in the 
passage, then quick, pattering feet were heard— 
and then a tiny form was springing into his arms. 
Before reaching the sitting-room above, Alice, the 
eldest daughter, was by his side, her arm drawn 
fondly within his, and her loving eyes lifted to 
his face. 
“ Are you not late, dear ?” It was the gentle 
voice of Mrs. Freeman. 
Mr. Freeman could not trust himself to answer. 
He was too deeply troubled in spirit to assume at 
the moment a cheerful tone, and he had no wish 
to sadden the hearts that loved him by letting the 
depression from which he was suffering become 
too clearly apparent. But the eyes of Mrs. Free¬ 
man saw quickly below the surface. 
“Are you not well, Robert?” she inquired, ten¬ 
derly, as she drew his large arm-chair toward the 
centre of the room. 
“A little headache,” he answered, with a slight 
evasion. 
Scarcely was Mr. Freeman seated ere a pair of 
hands was busy with each foot, removing gaiter 
and shoes, and supplying their place with a soft 
slipper. There was not one in the household who 
did not feel happier for his return, nor one who 
did not seek to render him some kind office. 
It was impossible, under such a burst of heart- 
sunshine, for the spirit of Mr. Freeman long to 
remain shrouded. Almost imperceptibly to himself 
gloomy thoughts gave place to more cheerful ones, 
and by the time tea was ready, he had half forgot¬ 
ten the fears which had so haunted him through 
the day. 
But they could not be held back altogether, and 
their existence was marked during the evening by 
an unusual silence and abstraction of mind. This 
was observed by Mrs. Freeman, who, more than 
half suspecting the cause, kept back from her 
husband the knowledge of certain matters about 
which she had intended to speak to him, for she 
feared they would add to his mental disquietude. 
During the evening she gleaned from something 
he said the real cause of his changed aspect. At 
once her thoughts commenced running in a new 
channel. By a few leading remarks she drew her 
husband into conversation on the subject of home 
expenses and the propriety of restriction in vari¬ 
ous points. Many things were mutually pro¬ 
nounced superfluous and easily to be dispensed 
with, and before sleep fell soothingly on the heavy 
eyelids of Mr. Freeman that night, an entire change 
in their style of living had been determined upon 
—a change that would reduce their expenses at 
least one-half. 
“I see a light ahead,” were the hopeful words 
of Mr. Freeman as he resigned himself to slumber. 
With renewed strength of mind and body, and 
a confident spirit, he went forth the next day—a 
day that he had looked forward to with fear and 
trembling. And it was only through this renewed 
strength and confident spirit that he was able to 
overcome the difficulties that loomed up, mountain 
high, before him. Weak despondency would have 
ruined all. Home had proved his tower of strength 
—his walled city. Strengthened for the conflict, 
he had gone forth again into the world and con¬ 
quered in the struggle. 
“ I see light ahead,” gave place to “ The morn¬ 
ing breaketh .”—Orange Blossoms. 
THE TRUE LADY. 
Wk have noticed that some young ladies are 
never found engaged in domestic labor. Call at 
their homes at any time of day, and you do not 
find them performing housework. They are fre¬ 
quently found embroidering, making a lace collar, 
practicing on the piano, or doing nothing. We 
infer that they seldom or never attend to domestic 
labors, or else that they suddenly quit the kitchen 
when the door-bell rings, lest they should be 
caught with a broom or rolling-pin in their hands. 
It is well-known that many young ladies detain 
visitors a half-hour in the parlor, before they 
emerge from their chambers, arrayed like Paris 
dolls. No person out of the families ever saw them 
in a kitchen-garb. The principal reason is, they 
think it is not lady-like. Says Mr. Arthur: 
A friend of ours, remarkable for his strong good 
sense, married avery accomplished and fashionable 
young lady, attracted more by her beauty and 
accomplishments than by anything else. In this, 
it must be owned that his strong good sense did 
not seem very apparent. His wife, however, 
proved to be a very excellent companion, and was 
deeply attached to him, though she still loved 
company, and spent more time abroad than he 
exactly approved. But, as his income was good, 
and his house furnished with a good supply of 
domestics, he was not aware of any abridgment of 
comfort on this account, and he therefore made no 
objection to it. 
One day, some few months after his marriage, 
our friend, on coming home to dinner, saw no ap¬ 
pearance of his usual meal, but found his wife in 
great trouble instead. 
“ What is the matter ? ” he asked. 
“ Nancy went ofi" at ten o’clock this morning,” 
replied the wife, “ and the chamber-maid knows 
no more about cooking a dinner than the man in 
the moon.” 
“ Couldn’t she have done it under your direc¬ 
tion?” inquired the husband, very coolly. 
“Under my direction! Goodness! I should 
like to see a dinner cooked under my direction! ” 
“ Why so ?” asked the husband. “ You certain¬ 
ly do not mean that you cannot cook a dinner.” 
“ I certainly do, then,” replied his wife. “ How 
should I know anything about cooking ? ” 
The husband was silent, but his look of astonish¬ 
ment perplexed and worried his wife. 
“ You look very much surprised,” she said, 
after a moment or two had elapsed. 
“And so I am,” he answered, “as much sur¬ 
prised as I should be at finding the captain of one 
of my ships unacquainted with navigation. Don’t 
know how to cook, and the mistress of a family !— 
Jane, if there is a cooking-school anywhere in the 
city, go to it, and complete your education; for it 
is deficient in a very important particular.” 
We need not speak of the result, except to say 
that it was good. But we ask the reader, if this 
young wife was more of a lady for not knowing 
howto cook a dinner? Would it not have been 
far more commendable in her to have been able to 
cook at such a time of iwessity ? If it is a woman’s 
mission to be mistresses'll?; family, then it is her 
business to know how to wash, and cook, and 
sew. Is a captain qualified to guide a ship, if he 
is ignorant of navigation ? Is a man prepared to 
manage a large mercantile establishment, if he has 
not learned the merchant’s business? Would a 
college faculty welcome a man to the professorship 
of Greek, who had never studied it ? Then, what 
shall we say of a female who occupies the place of 
mistress of the family, without knowing how the 
work thereof should be done? We say it is a dis¬ 
honor to her. She is less a lady for this inexcus¬ 
able ignorance. 
Madame Roland could prepare her husband’s 
meals with her own hands, and at night delight 
the most literary company of France by her bril¬ 
liant powers. Mrs. Washington, the mother of the 
General, always attended to her domestic affairs, 
even in the presence of the most distinguished 
guests. Lafayette paid her a visit before his de¬ 
parture for Europe, in the fall of 1778. He was 
conducted to her mansion by one of her grandsons. 
“There, sir, is my grandmother,” said he, as they 
approached the house. Lafayette looked up, and 
saw her at work in the garden, “clad in domestic- 
made clothes, and her gray head covered with a 
plain straw hat, the mother of his hero.” She 
gave Lafayette a cordial welcome, observing:— 
“ Ah, Marquis! you see an old woman—but, come, 
I can make you welcome to my poor dwelling, 
without the parade of changing my dress.” Mrs. 
Martha Washington, the wife of the General, was 
no less distinguished for her management of house¬ 
hold affairs. She was “ a good seamstress, a good 
cook, and a good mother.” She understood every 
department of domestic labor, and was ever ready 
to do what circumstances required. Mrs. Troupe, 
the accomplished wife of a captain of the British 
navy, once visited her, and she gave the following 
account of Mrs. Washington’s appearance: 
“Well, I will honestly tell you I never was so 
ashamed in all my life. You see Madame-, 
and Madame-, and myself, thought we would 
visit Lady Washington; and as she was said to be 
so grand a lady, we thought we must put on our 
best bibs and bands. So we dressed ourselves in 
our most elegant ruffles and silks, and were intro¬ 
duced to her ladyship. And, don’t you think, we 
found her knitting, and with a check apron on ! — 
She received us very graciously and easily, but 
after the compliments were over, she resumed her 
knitting. There we were, without a stitch of 
work, and sitting in state; but General Washing¬ 
ton’s lady with her own hands was knitting stock¬ 
ings for own husband.” Noble example for a 
woman of high position to set! In such circum¬ 
stances her check apron was more ornamental 
than the “ruffles ” and “ silks” of her fair visitors, 
and her knitting-needles more becoming decora¬ 
tions than a profusion of jewelry. 
No girl can become a true lady without knowl¬ 
edge of household duties. Whatever may be her 
literary proficiency, and her social qualities, with¬ 
out the ability to do house-work, if necessity 
demand, her education is defective. A young girl 
was presented to James I., as a prodigy in literary 
attainments. The person who introduced her, 
boasted that she understood the ancient languages. 
“ I can assure your Majesty,” said he, “ that she can 
both speak and write Latin, Greek and Hebrew.” 
“ These are rare attainments for a damsel,” said 
James; “but can she spin?" She might be fa¬ 
miliar with the lore of ages, but without a knowl¬ 
edge of household duties, she lacked an important 
acquisition. So we ask of the richly attired and 
accomplished young woman, who can read French, 
thumb the piano, and move bewitchingly in fashion¬ 
able company, can she do house-work? If she can¬ 
not, she is not a model lady. 
“ There’s a spot of earth supremely blest, 
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest; 
Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife, 
Strews with fresh flowers the narrow way of life; 
Around her knees domestic duties meet, 
And fireside pleasures gambol at her feet.”

IT o r the Harvest of 18650. 
The subscriber begs to inform the public that he continues 
to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges himself to 
produce an implement that will fully sustain its former repu¬ 
tation, as the best combined machine yet introduced, and 
inferior to none, either as a Reaper or Mower. 
It has had asteady and increasing popularity from the first, 
achieving a complete success in the first important trial at 
Geneva in 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the great 
National Field Trial at Syracuse in 1857; and amidst all the 
competition and trials of 1858, came out with more and better 
established points of excellence than ever before. 
The general principles peculiar to this machine, and upon 
which it is constructed, have proved so successful that there 
has been no attempt to change them. 
The main effort during the last year has been to Improve 
Its mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more 
durable, and sustain its reputation as the leading and most 
acceptable machine to the largest class of farmers in the 
country. 
Warranted capable of cutting from 10 to 15 acres of grass 
or grain per day, in a workmanlike manner.

Patented February 22d, 1859. 
During the six years I have been engaged In the manufac¬ 
ture of the Manny Combined Reaper and Mower, I have 
given much thoughtand attention to the construction of what 
1 foresaw would be a great want of the Farmers—a lighter 
and cheaper mackine expressly for mowing, than had yet 
been made. 
And now, after the most thorough and repeated experi¬ 
ments and tests In every variety of field, and in all kinds and 
in every condition of grass, I am prepared, with entire confi¬ 
dence, to offer to the farmers and dealers of the United 
States, the great desideratumin this department of Agricul¬ 
tural labor-saving machines—a Mower, superior in its capac¬ 
ity for good work to any hitherto introduced, of eaay draft, 
light, cheep, and durable. 
This machine I now offer as my latest Invention, to meet a 
special want of farmers, and to place within the reach of all, 
a Mower that for practical working, cheapness and simplici¬ 
ty, will be without a rival. 
I build Two-Horse and One-Horse Mowers. The Two- 
Horse Mower weighs 425 lbs., and cuts a swath iour Jeet wide 
(or more if specially ordered.) The One-Ilorse Mower weighs

In all Acute Diseases, such as Fevers, Inflammations, Di- 
arrhrns. Dysentery, Croup, Rheumatism, and such eruptive 
diseases as Scarlet Fever, Measles and Erysipelas—the ad¬ 
vantage of giving the proper remedies promptly is obvious, 
and in all such cases the specifics act like a charm. The en¬ 
tire disease is often arrested at once, and In all cases the 
violence of the attack is moderated, the disease shortened 
and rendered less dangerous. Even should a physician 
afterwards have to be called, he will take the case at decided 
advantage from the previous treatment. 
Couons and Colds, which are of such frequent occurrence, 
and which so often lay the foundation of diseased lungs, 
bronchitis and consumption, may all be at once cured by the 
Fever and Cough Pills. 
In all Chronic Diseases, such as Dyspepsia, Weak Stom¬ 
ach, Constipation, Liver Complaint, Piles, Female Debility 
and Irregularities, old Headache, Sore or Weak eyes,Catarrh, 
Salt Rheum, and other old eruptions, the case has specifics, 
whose proper application will afford a cure in almost every 
instance. Often the cure of a single chronic difficulty, such 
as Dyspepsia, Piles, or Catarrh, Headache, or Female Weak¬ 
ness, has more than paid for the case ten times over. 
FOR COUGHS AND COLDS.—A gentleman, well known 
in this City, in at our office, remarked: “Your COUGH 
PILLS have been of great value at our house this Winter.— 
In every instance when one of the family has taken a cold, 
three or four doses of the COUGH and FEVER PILLS, 
given in alternation, have entirely cured the case in a day 
or two. The case has already paid for itself several times 
over.” 
COUGHS AND COLDS.—A gentleman, a public lecturer, 
took a severe cold the latter part of last month, while travel¬ 
ing and lecturing in northern Pennsylvania, though address¬ 
ing public audiences every evening, yet in two days, by the 
aid of the Specific he was entirely recovered, and enabled to 
pursue his avocation without inconvenience. No public 
speaker should be without them. 
BAD COLD.—A married lady of forty had taken a violent 
cold, which settled on her lungs, causing severe cough, pain 
in the side and considerable fever and hoarseness. Such 
colds were usually very lasting and troublesome, but by tak¬ 
ing the Specific Cough Pills four times per day, in three 
days Bhe was entirely well. 
Chronic Catarrh.— A clergyman In a neighboring village 
had suffered for many years from an obstinate Catarrh, 
which had resisted all attempts for a cure. The obstruction 
and discharge from the nose was constant, destroying both 
taste and smell; and at times even interfering, from the 
change of voice, with his public ministrations. Almost in 
despair he commenced the use of our Catarrh Specific, and 
after the use of only a few pills—one every night—found him¬ 
self improved; and ere he had used an entire box, could 
consider himself entirely well. 
Dyspepsia or Weak Stomach, Case 1.—A young man of 19 
had Dyspepsia for two years, attended witha severe pain 
in the pit. of the stomach, coming on during eating or as 
soon as food reached the stomach, and continuing through 
the period of digestion. The pain was severe and aching, 
sometimes extending to the shoulders; less if he eat very 
digestible food, and proportionably more violent as his food 
was less carefully selected. It was also worse during warm 
weather. The bowels were very costive—stools hard and 
dry. Allopathic medicines only made him worse, and the 
prescriptions of avery regular Homeopath failed to help him. 
He commenced taking the Dyspepsia Pills, one pill three 
times per day, with prompt relief. In little more than a week 
this pain of two years' standing had disappeared, and in a 
month more his bowels had become perfectly regular and he 
was entirely well. 
2. A young lady of 26 had been troubled with Indigestion 
for several months, so as to render great care necessary in 
the selection of her food. After eating, the stomach became 
acid, food rising in tier moutli with water, and unpleasant, 
heavy load-like sensation in her stomach, continuing some 
hours, frequently headache, bowels constipated, and a de¬ 
pressed mental condition. She commenced taking the Dys¬ 
pepsia Pills, one morning and night, and in less than a 
week almost every symptom of her disease had vanished, 
and she felt like a new being.
