I liot a Giolng and Couldn't Stop.
A little boy named Frank, was stand
inf; in the yard, when his father called
him:
“ Frank ?”
" Sir!” said Frank, and started full
speed and ran into the street.
His father called him back, and asked
him if he did not hear Irim call.
“ Yes, sir,” said Frank.
"Well, then,” said his father, "what
made you run into the street?”
" O,” said Frank, “ I got a going and
couldn’t stop.”
This is the way that a great many boys
get into difficulty ; they get a going and
can’t stop. The boy that tells lies, be
gan first to stretch the truth a little—to
tell a large story, or relate an anecdote
with a very little variation, till he got a
going and couldn’t stop till he came out
a full grown liar.
The boy that was brought before the
police and sent to the House of Correc
tion for stealing, began by taking little
things from his mother—by stealing
swcatineats ami other nice things that
wore put away. Next he began to take
things from his companions at school,
lie got a going and could not stop until
lie got in jail.
Those two boys that you see fighting
out on the green, began by bantering
each other iu fun. At length they began
to get angry and dispute, and call each
other names, till they got a going and
couldn’t stop. They will separate with
black eyes and bloody noses.
There is a young man sitting late with
his companions at the gaming table. He
has flushed cheeks, an anxious look, a
despairing countenance. He has lost
bis last dollar. lie began by playing
marbles iu the street, but ho got a going
ami couldn't stop.
See that young man, with a dark lan
tern ttealing from his master's drawer.
Ho is a merchant’* clerk. He came
from the country, a promising boy. But
the re3t of the clerks went to the theatre
and he thought he mustgotoo. He be
gan thinking he would only go once, just
to say that he had boon to the theatre.
But he got a going and couldn’t stop.
Ho has used up his wages, and wants
more money. He cannot resist the
temptation, when he knows there is
money iu the drawer. He has got a go
iag—he will stop in the State Prison.
'fork ! do you hear that horrid oath ?
It comes from the foul mouth of a little
boy in the street. He began by saying
by-words, but ho has got a going and
can’t stop.
1 ifty young men were some years ago
In the habit of meeting together in a
room at a public house to enjoy them
selves in social hilarity, where the wine
cup passed freely around. One of them,
as ho was going there one evening began
to think there might bo danger in the
way. He stopped and considered a mo
ment. and then said to himself. “Right
about face !” He turned on his heel and
went back to his room, and was never
seen at the public house again. He has
become rich, and the first block of build
ings which he erected was built directly
in front of the place where he stood when
he made that exclamation. Six of the
youug men followed his example. There
inaimug forty-three got going and couldn’t
stop till they landed in the ditch and
most of them in the drunkard's grave.
Beware, then, boys how you get a
going. Be sure before you start that
you arc in the right way, for when you
are sliding down hill it is hard to stop.
Tiiidcte to Phinteks.-— The Chaplain
of the New Hampshire Penitentiary, in
reviewing the evchts of his life since his
connection with that institution, pays the
following complimeut to journeymen
printers:
"I Lave the happiness to number
among my friends many printers, but
though it may seem to imply either a
lack of ability on the part of the minis- j
ter, or the want of the qualities that are
n. fers lry in order to appreciate good
preaching, on the other jnirt , yet I will
reveal the fact that I have never sue
deeded well with that class. For the
nine long years, and with all the induce
ments offered, not one of that trade has
connected himself with my congregation
—and ldo not think a man could he
found, of all who ever tenanted our
prisou, who could set up a column of
type. I leave tho reader to make his
own comments, only remarking, that
this cannot he accidental, nor can the
evul: nation he that the employment keeps
them ignorant of the prevailing vices
and Immoralities, nor yet that young
printers are removed from the large
iua.-sc3 where corruptions engender and
spread. Tn all these respects this class
arc much exposed. It is evident, wc
think, that the employment has an ele
vating* tendency, and is favorable to in
tellectual and morul improvement.”
Oomplktei v Fold.— As the Oitrnnolle
train was on its downward trip to Mo-1
bile, on the Ist of April, an incident oc
curred that caused much amusement to the
passengers. As the train was approach
ing Bight 31 ile Station, a lady quite ele- 1
partly attired, with a lovely boquot of;
wild flowers in bund, and face concealed ;
from view by a handsome veil, was dis
covered standing on tho platform. The
train •, a? ordered to' stop, of co'tfrsc, to
lake in the fair passenger—and stop it
did. The gallant conductor immediately
jumped out upon the platform and cried
out, as usual, "all aboard!” at the same
time raising his hat and politely extend
ing Ins hauu to help the lady aboard.—■
She, however, did not rooognixe his gal
lantry, but stood dumb and motionless
as a statue. The astonished conductor !
advanced, involuntarily raised tho veil,!
when, lu! instead of a face of female
fles.i nr 1 beauty, the words “April
Fool, inscribed,,,,* black "lightwood
chunk, met his astonished vision. He
started back, gave the signal to be off
with an unusual violence, jumped aboard, 1
excbtimiijjr to the innocent engineer in a
stentorian voioc, "Who the told
you to stop here!”
Remember always your end, and that
lost time never returns

COLUMBIAN GUANO.
I HPHE subscribers w ould call the attention of
X the Farmers of Montgomery county to the
above named article, and invite their attention
to the analysis of Dr. W. S. Heksb, State in
spector, as
COLUMBIAN GUANO.
The subscribers are now prepared to furnish
Farmers with the above named article in any
quantities they may requirt*. The Columbian
is a new article, of recent discovery and impor
tation, and seems to be just the thing our Farm
ers have long wanted.
From the analysis of Dr. W. L. Rekstc. Stat'
Inspector, hereunto annexed, it is found to con
tain largely more of Bone Phosphate of Lime.
than any other Guano ever discovered. Almost
every Fanner is convinced that in order to get
Ids land in permanent productive order, phos
phates are absolutely necessary. There cun be
no permanency without it.
As it seems to he impossible to supply the de
mand for Rone Dust, Farmers need not, in our
judgment, have the least hesitation in using the
Columbian as a substitute for Bone, as it con
tains nearly double as much phosphoric acid us
the hone, and much cheaper in price, taking the
phosphoric acid as a basis. We nsk a very
careful examination of the analysis of Dr. Reese:

than any lot I have seen, and furnishes to the
farmer a valuable source for obtaining that arti
cle in a form well adapted for ite successful ap

N. YORK ADVERTISEEMNTS
CONSUMPTION.
S SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY INHA-'
" RATION ()F MEDICATED VAPORS, b/
i JOHNSON STEWART ItOSE, M. D., Fellow
of the Royal College of Physicians, and for
j years Senior Physician in the London Royal
j Infirmary for diseases of the Lungs.
In this age of Progress, Medical Science hag
| contributed her full share to the general welfare,
j and that which shines resplendant, the bright--
i cat jewel in her diadem, is her Just and greatest*
gift. Medicated Vapor Inhalation, in the tr- at--
went of CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS,
ASTIIMA, and kindred affections.
AH must see the absurdity of treating Con
sumption through the Stomach, by filling it
w ith nauceous drugs. The disease is not ii>
the Stomach, but in the Lungs, and by inha
ling Medicine m the form of Vapor, I applv thef
remedy DIRECTLY TO THE DISEASED
ORGAN; there is therefore no ease so hopeless
that the Inhalution will not reach. I earnestly
appeul to the common sense of all afflicted with-
Lung diseases, to embrace; at once the advan
tages of Inhalation.
I claim for Inhalation in the treatment of
Consumption, Ac., a place amongst the price-’
less gilts that Nature and Art hath givcii uiy
that “our days maybe long in the land,” uuiv
as the ONLY ARK OF REFUGE for the Con
sumptive ! A method, not only RATIONAL,,
but SIMPLE, SAFE, and EFFICACIOUS.—-
I have pleasure in referring toTWO HUNDRED
AND SEVEN names, residents of New \oik
; and neighborhood, who have been restored to
vigorous health. About one third. .!* the Above
i number, according to tbc patient's own state.
1 mints, were considered hopeless cases.
Tbc Inhaling method is soothing, safe, and
; speedy, and consists in the administration oC
■ medicines in such a manner that they are con
veyed into tile lungs in the Ibrm of a vapor,
and produce their action at the seat of thc’tU.,-
easc. Its practical sneeess is destined to if vo
lutioniso the opinions of the medical world, end
establish the entire curability of Consumption.
Applicants will please state if they have ever
tiled from the lungs, if they have lost llesb,
have a cough, night sw eats and fttver turns,
what and how much they expectorate, what
the coudition ol their stoumeh and bowei£.—
The necessary Medicines, Apparatus, Ac., will
be forwarded to any part.
TERMS.—Five Collars, consultation lee.—
Balance of the fee payable only when the pa
tient reports himself convalescent.
RECOMMENDATION BY PHYSICIANS.
We. the undersigned, practitioners in medi
cine, cheerfully and heartily reeomuiend Dr.
Rose’s method of treating diseaseeof the lamps
and Throat, as the best und most effectual ever
introduced into medical practice. Ourconvic
tions are based upon having several of our own
patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to
; vigorous health, after a few months treatment
jby Dr. Rose. In the above named diseases,
i the application of MEDICATED VAPORS, in
haled directly into the lungs, may be justly
considered asn great boon to suffering human
ity, rendering Consumption a perfectly curable
disease.
Ilr. Rose deserves the well wishes of the
I rofession for his unwearied labors in I,ringing
the inhaling method to such a degree of per
fection. ” F

IT is the fixed nnd unalterable purpose of tho

The late, refusal of the Know Nothing National
