ed some of the most astonishing cures *at were
ever known; many troubled with ringing in the
head and ears when asleep, great nervousness,
being alarmed at sudden sounds, bashfulness, with
derangement of mind, were cured Immediately.
TAKE PAR'fICTLAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. midranges all those who have injured
themselves by improper Indulgences and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
rialtrese are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by the early habitant youth. viz
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Palls in the
Head, Dimness of Sight, Lose of Muscular Power,
Palpitation of thelfeart. Dyspepsia. Nervous
lability Derangement of the Digestive Finct.ons,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption. &C.
lidegrau.r.—The fearful effects of the mind are
much to be dreaded. LOSS of Memory, °infusion
of Ideas, Depression of spirits, Evil Forebodings.
Aversion to Society, Sellthstrtutt, Love of Soli.
tude, Timidity, Sc., are some of the evils pro.
duced.
Thousands of personsof all ages can now judge
what Is the causeof their declining health, losing
their vigor, becoming weak, pale. nervous and
emicated, having a singular appearance about the
eyes, cough and symptoms of Consurnptam.
YOUNG MEN
who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice, indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned trona evil companions or at selooi, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even whets asleep,
and if not cured, renders marriage impossible,
and destroys both mind and body, should apply
immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
tionntry, the inifie of his parents,. should be
snatched from all prospects and employments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the path
of nature, and indulging in a certain secret habit.
Such persons Must, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind —,j,r,rrolt con p
netts. Itcdea, without ttt r ;e7 the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the prospect
hourly darkens to the view, the mind becomes

"There are your month's wages," said
Mrs. Steele, tossing some bills into the lap
of a young girl whom they employed in her
kitchen; "and if I should do justice to
myself, I should keep back full half of it.
I hope next month, you frill try and be a
little more help to me—not move about so
slowly as you are accustomed to, and take
a little more pains in handling dishes.—
Many housekeepers would have taken the
price of that pitcher you cracked out of
your wages, and I am not sure but I shall
adopt some such plan in future."
The young girl took the money with a
moody look, and went about her task with
a heavy, resentful spirit. These hard
words, she felt, were undeserved, as she
tried to please by doing her work faithful
ly. But, all through the house, the sys
tem reigned. It was one continual scene
of fault-finding from morning till night.
No wonder that the angels of peace and
happiness spread their white wings and
lied away.
In a pottage just ovpr the
way, it was also Bridget's pay day.
"Here are seven dollars, Bridget, and
may they do you a great dear , of good.—
You are getting on nicely now, and learn
ing very fast to do work in my way. Mr.
Howard thought you had quite exceeded
yourself in yesterday's bread and pies."
Bridget's face was all aglow with pleas
ure as she opened her hand to recive the
money.
;Weed, ma'am, it's all from patient
teaching I've had. My last mistress cal
led me a dolt and a blockhead, and I didn't
much care for to please. her. But, if you
please, ma'am, I would like your advice
on a little matter. Would you wait till I
get money enough for a shany silk dress,
or would yer just spend your mony now
for what you needs ?;'
"By all means, get you a good, comfor
table pair of shoes, Bridget; and I would
advise a neat (Maine dress. A cheap,
poor silk, is not clear as nice as a pretty
fresh calico."
Thetrfollowed some excellent advice to
the young girl, which was listened to with
the deepest respect, and which ga . ve her
some new and valuable ideas on the sub
ject of what was tasteful and becoming in
dress. Little by little she moulded and
wrought over the plastic mind into some
thing far' better than the early promise'
gave her reason to hope for. For five
years, the young woman labored faithfully
in the service of her kind employer, and
only left her to enter a home of her own.
How much better was she fitted for that
position by the kind and judicious training
of those five years! How much . better,
too, was Mrs. Mason served, than her
neighbor, Mrs. Steele, who looked • upon
her help as only machines, out of which to
get the greatest possible amount of labor.
It takes time and and long 'patience to
do this, but it is part of the work, despond..
ing house-Mother, that God has given you
to do.

- A COUPLE of the best conundrums we
ever heard were perpetrated the aher day
in a social circle of gentleman, one of
whom had a very bald head. One gentle
man asked—
"Why is Mr.—'s head like Alaska
All gave it up.
"Because it is a great white bear place."
Hardly had the laugh subsided on this
when another asked—
"Why is his head like heaven?
This was worse to get at than the other,
and the answer came—
"Because there is no dyeing or parting
there."
"PATRICK, the widow Malony tells me
that you have stolen one of her finest pigs.
Is that correct or not?"
"Yis, yer honor."
"What have you done with it?"
"Billed it and ate it, yer honor!"
"Oh, Patrick, Patrick! when you are
brought face to face with the widow and
her pig on the judgment day, what ac
eount will you be able to give of yourself
when the widow accuses you of stealing?
"Did you say the pig would be there,.

"to be sure I did !"
"Well yer riverence, I'll say, Mn. Ma

THE BAREFOOT BOY
BY J. O. WIIITTIBIL
Blessings on thelittle man,
Barefoot boy with 'cheeks of tan:
With thy upturned pantaloons.
And thy merry tunes—
With thy red lip, redder still. -
Kissed by strawberries on the bill—
With the sunshine on thy twee,
Through the torn brint's Jaunty grace
From my heart Igivethe Joy—
I was once a barefoot boy.
Oh for boyhood's painless play,
Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctor's rules,
Knowledge never learned at schools—
Of the wild bee's morning chase,
Of the wild flower's time and place,
Flight of fowls and habitude
Of the tenants of the wood
How the tortoise bears its shell,
How the robin feeds her young,
How the oriole's nest is hung,
Where the whitest lilies blow,
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the wood•nut trails its vine,
Where the wood-grape clusters shine:
Of the black wasp's cunning way,
Mason of his wall of clay,
And the architectural plans
Of gray hornet artisans,
For eschewing books and tasks,
Nature answers all he asks'
Hand in hand with her he walks,
Face to face with her he talks.
Fart and parcel of her Joy—
Blessings on the barefoot boy:
Cheerily, then, my little man,
Live and laugh as boyhocsl can,
Though the flinty stones be hard,
Stubble-spread the new mown sward
Every morn shall lead three through
Fresh baptism - 61 the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall thecool wind kiss the heat;
And too soon those feet shall hide
An the prison -cells of pride,
Loose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colt for work be shod ;
Made to tread the mills of toil;
Happy if thy tracks be found
Never on forbidden ground—
Happy If /hey sink not in
Quick and treacherous sands of sin.
Alt! that thou should know the Joy
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!
TWO WAYS
PROtLAMATION OF :NEUTRALITY
On Monday President Grant issued an
important proclamation, declaring the
neutrality of the United States in the
European war. After reciting the provis
ions of the "Neutrality Law" of 1818, and
the treaties with France 3 and Prussia, the
President says the statutes of the United
States and the law of nations alike require
that uo person within the territory and
jurisdiction of the United. States shall take
part, directly or indirectly, in the said war,
but shall remain at peace with each of the
said belligerents, and shall maintain a
strict and impartial neutrality; and that
whatever privileges shall be accorded to
one belligerent within the port of the Uni
ted States shall be, in like manner, accord
ed to the other. The proclamation con
cludes as follows: "And I hereby do warn
all citizens of the tnited States, and all
persons residing r being within their
territory or jurisdiction, that while the
free and full expression of sympathies, in
public and private, is not restricted by the
laws of the United States, military forces
in aid of either belligerent cannot lawfully
be originated or organized within their II
jurisdiction; and that while all persons
may lawfully anil without restriction, by
reason of the aforesaid state of war, man
ufacture and sell within the United States,
arms and munitions of war, and other
articles, ordinarily known as - contraband
of war," yet they cannot carry such arti
cles upon the high seas for the use or
service of either belligerent; nor can they
transport soldiers and officers or either, or
attempt to break any blockade which may
be lawfully established and maintained
during the war, without incurring the risk
of hostile capture, and the penalties de
nounced by the law of nations in that
behalf."
THE HiPPIESI . PERIOD OF LIFE.—We
copy from the genial pages of Anthony
Trollope the following description of the
most blissful period of human existence,
not on account of its truth, though that
is sweet and beautiful; but because it sets
forth a lesson of useful industry that de
serves to be read and pondered:
Perhaps there is no period so pleasant
among all the pleasant periods of love
making as that in which the intimacy be
tween lovers is so assured, and the coming
event so near, as to produce and endure
conversation,about the ordinary little mat
ters of life; what can be done with the
limited means at their disposal; how that
life shall be begun which they shall lead
together; what ideas each has of the oth
er's duties; what each can do for the oth
er. There was a true sense of the delight
of intimacy in the girl who declared that
she never loved her lover so well as when
she told him how many pairs of stockings
she had got. It is very sweet to gaze at
the stars, and it is sweet to sit among the
hay cocks. The reading of poetry togeth
er, out of the same book, with brows all
close, and arms mingled, is very sweet;
the pouring out of whole hearts in writing
words, which the writer knows would be
held to be ridiculous by any eyes or ears
and sense but those of the dear one to
whom the, are seat, Is very sweet; but
for the girl who has made a shirt for the
man she totes, there has come a moment
in the last stitch of it sweeter than any
stars, hay cork, poetry or superlative
epithets have produced."
"As for the coolers corning here — said
Mrs. Partington, as she wiped her brow
with the old bandana handkerchief, bear
ing the pictorial representation of the bat
tle of Lake Erie; "I should say let 'em
come; for goodness knows it is hot enough,
with every rag of one's clothes so satiated
with moisture, that one almost wishes
himself to be a great white bear and sit on
the top of the North Pole, if it would be
proper, and ice so dear! The more of 'em
the better, I should say, with the mockery
at ninety, and going up at that, goodness
help us! oif heaven would only freeze
the ponds over in summer what a luxury
it would be, with ice for pie-ales, and no
thanks to the monopolarizers, who are
taking advantage of folks' extremities,
and are pinching 'em to make 'em pay, so
that a ten cent ice cream isn't enough to
fill a hollow tooth with, if anybody should
want to, and iced lemonade is not to be
thought of without paying for it, and the
lord knows where it will end, unless the
coolers come." She stopped, exhausted
in the idea and breath, wiping her face
with her handkerchief, while Ike sat be
side the full milk pan with a boat in it,
the sails of which he was filling by fanning
it with Mrs. P.'s great black Sunday fan,
with the red flowers on it, that she had
just laid away in the drawer upstairs.
Too Mucn FOR Hmr.—A young man
who actually desired wealth was visited
by his Santanic majesty. who tempted
him to dispose of his soul for eternity, if
he could be supplied on earth with all the
money he could use. The bargain was
concluded; the devil was to supply the
money, and was at last to have the soul,
unless the young man could spend more
money than the devil could furnish.—
Years passed away; the man married, was
extravagant in his living, built palaces,
speculated wildly, lost and gave away -for
tunes, and yot his coffers were always full.
Ho turned politician, and bribed his way
to honor and fame, without reducing his
pile of gold. He became a filibuster, and
fitted out ships and armies, but his banker
honored all his drafts. He went to New
York to live, and 'paid the usual rate of
interest for all the money he could borrow;
but though the devil made faces when he
came to pay the bills, yet they were all
paid. One expedient after another failed.
The devil counted the time only two years
hat he must wait for the soul; and he
mocked the efforts of the despairing man.
One more trial was resolved upon—the
man started a newspaper! The devil
growled at the bill at the end of the first
quarter was savage in six months, melan
choly in nine, and broke, dead broke, at
the end of the year! So the newspaper
went down but the soul was saved,
A New story of hotel charges: A visitor
passed two days at a famous hotel at
Chantilly, and then called for big bill. At
sight of the sum charged he . was furious.
"A hundred and ten francs for two days!"
he exclaimed; "a hundred and ten francs
for two or three bad dinners and two
wretched, nights passed in a bed full of
bugs!"
,"How Were there bed bugs!"
said the hotel keeper in delight, "and I
was going to forget them. ! Give me the
bill," The traveler haMied back the bill
to the landlord, 'who added:l

TATAUSTIC FRENCH FI6IIIIIIEB
Either the French have mute reason to
believe in a kind_of fatalism attaching to
dates and figures, or else they are more in
, genious in searching out singular coinci
dences in the dates and figures of their
national affairs—the reader May take
which theory he pleases. Now that the
star of Napoleon is very low iu the hori
zon, and likely to set, it may be; interest
ing to recall some of these strange coinci
dences, which' by their continual recurrence
have acquired a kind of prophet like' pow
er over the French imagination. • For in
stance, Robespierre fell from power. in
1794. and the first germ of the Napoleonic
era may be dated from the same year;
add to 1794 its four aoinponent numbers.
one, seven, nine and four, and we come to
1813, the year when Napoleon's power
filially ended. Louis VI ascended the
throne in 1774; add 1774 to one, seven,
seven and four, and they make 1793, the
year when the ill-fated monarch was exe
cuted. The great French Revolution be
gan in 1789; add to this one, seven, eight,
nine, and we arrive at the year 1814, when
the exile to Elba, put an end to theiFrench
conquests in Europe. The Bourboans were
restored in 1815; add this date to one,
eight, one, live, and we have the date 1830,
when the Bourbons were once mere ex
pelled. Louie Philippei Was, born to 1 773,
and came to the throne in 1830; add 1830
to one, seven, seven, three, and we come
to 1848, the year of his expulsion. His
queen, Amelia, was born in 1782; add 1830
to one, seven, eight, two, and we arrive in
the same way at the precise year 1848.
Once more: That royal couple were mar
ried in 1809: add 1830 to one, eight, nought,
nine, and here again crops up the fated
year 1848. To say the least these aoinci
deuces are remarkable, and it is not proba
ble that history furnishes a parallel to
them,
This curious fact, discovered by some
cabalistic genius, set the astrologers a-go
ing to find out,the new emperor's horoscope
by the old date manipulation, with the
following result; Louis Napoleon was
born 1808, and became emperor in 1852,
add 1852 to one, eight, nought, eight, and
you have 1869, The Empress Eugenie
was born in 1826; add 1852 to one, eight,
two, six, and there similarly arises the
date 1860; also, add 1832 to one, eight, five,
three, and for the third time you arrive
at 1860. Therefore,
_said the figure pro
phet, "1869 will be the downfall of the
Emperor." But the prophets were mis
taken this time. The year 1869 rolled
round, not without convulsions, but the
Emperor fell not, and seemed stronger
than ever at its close.
But the astrologers bethought them
about this time that the Emperor, though
elected in 1852, was not crowned till 1853.
This, then, was the real date of the em-
pire, and the coincidences of figures, in
stead of pointing to 1869, pointed really to
1870.
is we watch the apparently resistless
progress of the people against Napoleon's
incompetency, the stormy scenes in the
Deputies, the hints of a republic, the com
plicated diseases of the Emperor himself,
it seems the likeliest thing in the world,
that the star of the second empire, like
that of the first, should set in blood and
darkness before the - year 1870 is done.. If
- -
so, these last coincidences of dates would
hare a terrible significance, and still
further confirm the French in their faith
in figures.
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT A FUNERAL.-
The funeral of John Real. in New York,
on Sunday week, who was hanged on the
previous Friday, was the largest since
the funeral of the famous Bill Poole. It is
estimated that six or seven thousand per
sons marched in the procession, and fully
one hundred thousand along the route
looked on as spectators. The crowd was
so great, and there was such a pressure to
see the corpse of the criminal, that the
police had the greatest difficulty to pre
serve order and prevent disturbance. Just
as the coffin was lowered into the gravest'
excited individual appeared at the edge,
and throwing two rotten eggs w the coffin,
drew a revolver in a threatening manner.
He was seized immediately, and in the
scuffle which ensued, fell into the grave on
the coffin with the person who seized him.
Both parties were soon dragged out and
order restored, when the sexton proceeded
with the work of filling up the grave. It fs
said that he was a brother of the wife of the
officer killed by Real, and sought further
revenge forAtis widowed sister. Of course
he pretended to be crazy!
A young lady of an "accomplished eduesi.
tion," of oourse, addressed a letter to her
feminine cousin, residing in a neighboring
town as follows: "Doer Kussin the wether
whar we is air kohl and reckon whar you
is it air kohl we all is well an muther hus
gott the his Tericks and bruther Tom hai
the Huppin Koff an sister Sal got a Baby
an I hoap these fu lyneswil fine you in thei,
same kendishun rite sane apheckshunatel
Kusin."
This reminds us of a letter we saw dur
ing the late war, from a young man to his
"sweetheart," which ran thusly:
"My Deer Sary An I take my pen and
seat in hand to rite u a fu lynes to let u no
that i ani well butt my horse has broak his
lerg an has a mighty soar back an i heap
when these fu)ynos corns to band tha will
fine u injoyin the same blessing."
AT Plymouth, there is, or was, a small
green opposite the Government House,
over which no one was permitted to pass.
Not a creature was allowed to approach
save the General's cow; and the sentry
had particular orders to turn away any one
who ventured to cross the forbidden turf.
One day, old Lady D-, having called
at the General's, in order to make a short
cut, bent her ;taps across the lawn, when
she was arrested by the sentry calling out
and.desiring her to return and go the other
road. She remonstrated. The man said
he could not diaobey his orders. "'But," I
said Lady D-, with a stately air, "do
you know who T am?" "I don't know
who you be, ma'am," replied the immov
able sentry, "but I know who you ain't--
you ain't the General's cowl"

The letter by the Hon. James L. Orr, of
South Carolina, ex-Speaker of the United
States' House of Representatives, which
has recently been so severely criticised in
the cohimns of the Charleston '2lretes and
some other Southern newspapers; is a
strong, outspoken declaration from this
old South Carolina politician, slave-holder
and Rebel (who at the outbreak of the
war occupied a position in the State sec
ond to none) in favor of the Republican
party. The ex-Speaker says:
"1. I shall vote fop Scott and Ranier,
Republican nominees for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor.
"2. I cannot vote for the nominees of•the
Union Reform party, becauae, in myjudg
went, the purpose which they propose to
accomplish is entirely impracticable, and
the nominations made by their Conven
tion will not only accomplish no good re
sults, but the eonsequences of the nomina
tion and canvass must be pernicious. The
avowed purpose of the Convention was to
effect reform; in the administration of the
State Government. In some of its depart
ments retrenchment and reform is, doubt
lose, greatly needed—some of its einem
are filled brincornpetent and corrupt men,
who should be driven from the places they
occupy. More economy in the appropria
lions and disbursements of public money
should be practiced.
"How aro these objects to be attained.?
The only reforms in the State Govern
ment that can be successfully accomplish
ed, at least for many years to come, must
be by and through the Republican part)
and its organizations. They have control
of all the Departments of the State Oov
eminent, and have a majority of more
than 30,000 voters to
_preserve and per--
potuate that control. So long as an op.
posing party, disavowing Republicanism,
is organized in the State to defeat and dis
place them, so long will party machinery
and appeals to party appliances preserve
its unity and supremacy. If we want an
illustration of the strength and constancy
of party organization in securing self-per
petuation, look to the State of Vermont
thirty years prior to the war, when it an
nually rolled np its 25,000 or more majority
for the Whig party, despite all the efforts
of the Democracy, aided most of the time
by Federal influence and patronage.—
When you attempt to reform a party by
destroying it—which is the present mode
of reform adopted—the first law of nature,
self - preservation, appeals to each member
of that party to resist the new movement,
and avert its destruction. Such an an
tagonism has another most baleful in
fluence. The most active, and oftentimes
the most unscrupulous partisans, exag
gerate the importance of mainlining party
usuage and discipline, and the great mass
of the hottest portion of the party are thus
diverted from a careful examination into
the fitness of those seeking to represent
them, and from abuses and corruptions
existing in the party."
Ex-Speaker Orr does not pretend to
justify all the things which have been done
by those now in power in the Republican
organization in South Crrolina. His posi
tion is that it is easier to secure reform
through the Republican party than in op
position to #; that the triumph of the Re
publican party in any event is certain, and
that the efforts of good men should there
fore be directed toward the selection of
the best candidates from amoi
publicans. He coucludes with •
meat of the Republican wort •
Carolina:
"That notwithstanding the • . • ,
cause of complaint may exist against the
Republian party for sins of omission and
commission, they have done perch to
anuiliorate the condition of the white peo
ple of the State; ameliorations which the
Legislature of the State, in 1865 and 1880,
refused to grant. That party has secured
a homestead to the head of every family,
Thousands of women and children in this
State would have been hopeless and home
less, naked and starved, but for the bene
ficent provisions of the homestead enact
ment. Every voter thus protected should
remember, when he comes to cast his vote,
who furnishes a shelter in the sunshine
and storm, over the head of his wife and
children, despite the stale claims pf heart
less creditors,—that this same party has
protected all debtors in their Constitution
from paying debts contracted for slave
property.
That this same party has been equal to
the humane progress of the age in abolish
i
ing imp • nment for debt. That this
same part . whatever may have been its
eztravagarice or imprOvidence, has raised
the ruarkte value of the bonds of the State
from twenty-six cents in January, 1868, to
about ninety cents at the present time.'
If good Ind true men will consent to ac
oept the Reconstruction acts of Congress
and the legislation, federal and State, ne
cessarily growing out of them; if they will
accept the new conditions surrounding us;
if they will affiliate with the Republican
organization, especially in this State, we
will profit largely by what, u3y have done
correctly, and much can be accomplished
to correct abuse and malfeasaneethat may
have grown up in the anomalous state of
affairs surrounding us.
Believing no good result can flow from
the Reform movement, I shall vote for the
nominees of the Rebublican party."
Very respectfully,
Jamas L. Orut.
GRANT'S TACITCS OVER ACWlL—Gener
al Grant's campaign from the Wilderness,
on an enlarged scale, says the New York
Herold, is reproduced in the present Ger
man, invasion of France. As Grant at
every point, in and out of the Wilderness,
wherever he could find the enemy, fought
him to cut him up, and todivide his forces,
and to flank them, and- to get ahead of
then; and to cut them off from Richmond,
so the Prussian Generals, from the frontier
