How sad to part with those we love
to yic!J to the embrace of death the dear
objects upon which our affections have
centred, and in whose life,- and destiny
our hearts have been bound by the sweet
est and tenderest ties! JIow frail is ev
ery earthly reliance! How soon does the
soul, whose affections have been entwin
ed among earthly objects, learn to feel
ihat"h«re we have no continuing city"—
that we meet, to seperate—that we live
to die,—yet how delightful are the assu
rances of Inspiration, that friends parted
may meet again that there is a blest a
bode, the echo of whose ceaseless music
sometimes reaches the earth in silence
and in solitude, where the "spirits of the
just made perfect
11
shall dwell forever.
What is the simple story, of this little
one's life? He lived—he gave.his hear!
to his parents—he looked upon the beau
tiful earth, and loved it upon the flow
ers, and loved'them upon the moon and
stars in their 'distant homes, and his
young soul was awakened by their mys
tery and their glorious beauty—and then
he died! Leaving all things that he lov
ed so well-—parents, the earth, the flow
ers, the stars, he went to Heaven, and
there in the enjoyment of a perfect felic
ity, it is not for those who loved him, to
wish him back into a vVoi ld iil'toil and sor
row and strife,-but rather, that they
should be prepared, by a life of "Faith,
Hope and Charity
1
to spend an eternity
of bliss with him beyond the grave.

The ordinary Ointments and Liniments,
it ia well known, are severe and partial in
their operation. Sloan's Ointment is mild,
yet thorough—it reaches and removes the
cause, hence it give3 real an

ROTMY CilNeAVE BEATER CHURN.
T1IE UNDERSIGNED, having been appointed agent for the sale of the above churn, in this
county, is now prepared to supply the farming community with the best article ever made for
converting milk into buLteri' lhe principle upon which this churn is constructed is a philo
sophic one, und its great advantage over the common dashcT or the barrel churn, will be appa
rent upon examination into "tho principle involved in the execution of each kind of churn.' In
tho old-fashioned churn, and all the SO CALLED IMPRO YEMENI'S upon it, butter is
produced in a longer or shorter time, according to the quality of the cream or milk', SOLELY
BY AGITATION of the contents of the churn while in tho CONCAVE BEATER CHURN
ifl addition to the .mechanical action of the beater upon the milk, a constant suppiv of a turns
pheiic air is forcibly carried through tho cream or milk at every revolution, thus bringing into
contact with every portion or the milk, the oxygen upon the chemical combination of wnich,
with it, the formation of butter depends.
The fi llowing are believed to constitute the advantages of this Churn over all others in use.
—1. That, although embodying a great philosophic principle, it is the most simple churn ever
invented. 2. That it is the most convenient, useful, and substantial. 3 That the labor is
infinitely less than with any other. 4. That it will never fail lo make good butler. 5. That
it will make butter from fresh milk in from 5 to 10 minutes. G. That it will make butter from
some milk in (rorn 4 to 8 minutes, 7. I hat it will niiine butter from any unskimmed milk in
from 5 to 15 minutes. 9. That it will make butter from cream and milk prepared in the old
way, in from 3 to 6 minutes, Borne less time. 9. fhat it will make more butter out of the same
quantity of milk than any other churn or process.
A host of testimonials from the Kentucky and Missouri presses, in which, with other Slates,
these ehurns are superseding all others, could be adduced to show the value of the article, but
this is considered unnecessary, as one trial cannot fail to convince those most wedded to the
old, laborious, uncertain and vexatious mode of butter-making, of its vast superiority.
Any infringement of the patent will be promptly prosecuted by the Patentee. For sale by

call and see for themselves. The Ladies will
remember, that at the Shoe Store can be bad
the latest eastern s' yles, and any quality of
shoes desired rnd as for men's fine and coarse
Boots and Shoes, and boys', wnd Misses', and
children's shoes in short, my slaek for quality
and variety, is second to no other in tho West
therefore the country and town people are re
spectfully invited to cull and examine for them
selves, and the subscriber feels assured that
they buy. Country Merchants wiihiug Boots
