A Cetnniunlly Apart fret.i ihe World lu Dress ami Medal Cukteius Klch, but Net Corrupted, and Liv ing by the Utddeu Kule. FalrviUc. Lancaster county, Correspondence Hew Yerk Sun. Summcriu ameug the Amish is next neighbor te absolute solitude. Prem the metropolis te the quiet valley of the Con Cen Con estega is like the change from the clatter efan elevated train te the rustle of the waving corn The Amish people are abundant in this section of Pennsylvania. They own fine farms, splendid teams of horses, great fat barns, and plain white and yellow farm houses. Quakers are generally regarded as the most quiet and orderly people in the world. If there can be a people mera modest, reserved, unas suming, well behaved, and unostentatious, it is the Amish. They have no church, no creed, no claborate ritual, no ministry and no meeting houses. Their religion is based upon their teaching of the Gelden Rule. My host this week has becu a middle aged Amish farmer who owns 303 acres of line cultivated fields. The outside walls of his stone house are plastered and white washed. It is two stories, with a high gabled and shingled reef. In front is a bread piazza shaded by three venerable willows. A spring or cool water is under an apple tree yonder, while below some distance is a gicat barn five times the size of the house, and finished in much better style. That is the rule hereabouts. My host is six feet tall, bread shouldered, and sun-browned. His black hair is long and cut squarely off at the neck. He wears a black sombreie-liko wool hat most of the time, hut when the weather is extremely het a wide-rimmed, common hickory hat. He raised the sheep that furnished the Weel for his clothing, and fed the cattle whose hide furnished the leather for his beets. The Amish tailor makes the clothes iti the style new that was in use a century age. There arc no changes in fashion, and, despite the many temptations te the contrary, hooks aud eyes exclusive ly perform the office of buttons. A few days age, sitting upon a wide open armed hickeiy rocker, en the piazza, I was told the story of the every day life of the Amish peeple. " Te-morrow," said the farmer. " I would like you te go with us te meeting. Our peeple will come to gether just at the next farm house down the read. Yeu will be welcome, ue mat ter if you are from the city. All are wel come with us. I just catne up from the farm of ene of our friends, three miles from here. Last week his barn was burn ed, and wc are building a new ene for him. We generally make geed each ether's losses of that kind: Our friend has had considerable trouble, and I pity him very much." The farmer was suddenly called into the house. I was surprised that he told me as much as he did. The Amish talk very little, ami never refer te things irregular I was sojourning here two weeks before I heard of the scandal that was agitating the home circle of nearly every family in the valley. An Amishmau had a pretty dark-eyed daughter. Her apparel, like that of her mother, was brown homespun, made up in the most primitive style. She was secretly courted by a young man who was net Amish, and the young ceuple eloped aud were married. She was dis pwned forever by her parents, and the most indescribable anguish en the part el the old folks followed. There is no releutiug, no forgivenecs, no undoing of what has been done. Our journey te the meeting was in a large " Amish buggy " a spring carriage drawn by two powerful farm horses. The family consisted of himself aud wife, his invalid sister, and two little girls, his children. The children were dressed in the same style as their mother. Their little dark eyes aud little reuud heads were hidden in the deep recesses of little black scoop bonnets raade of pasteboard covered with silk. Their gowns were of brown wool serge and white kerchiefs were drawn obliquely ever their shoulders. The skirts of their dresses were tucked, in several rows, te be lengthened as the girls grew taller. Their plain white mus lin pantelets nearly reached their shoe tops and their back hair was combed up from behind -and arranged iu a neat knot en the top of the head. The elder females were dressed iu the same way. except that their kerchiefs were darker. The farmer's coat was of a straight up and down pat tern, very high at the neck ; ue cellar, no buttons, and no trimmings. His vest also was high, aud without a cellar, a long row of hooks and eyes keeping it close up and shut, leaving only his unstarched white muslin cellar visible at the top. His trousers Were half tight and without " spring." Upen our arrival at the farm house where the meeting for this month is held, long lines qf buggies and carriages are seen near the barn. The stables and shed ding are filled with the neighbors' horses. Outside the house everything is extremely quiet, though within nearly every room is filled with people. Frem all sections ths Amish have come. They are welcemcA and invited in, aud se are wc. The farmer is the preacher, and wher ever the mectiug is held, there the minis tcr Is leund. The talking is generally in the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, but very often also in English. A text is taken from the Bible, and the farmer interprets it as be thinks best. He has been given plenty of time te prepare his discourse. When the meeting closes the place for the next meeting is at once named, and notice is thus served upon the farmer who is te preach next time. Ne Anmhman could be called en for such a service who had in any way misbehaved. The ether day I heard of the suicide of an Amishman. I was told by tbe landlord of the village inn that it was the first snicide en record ameug these people in that neighborhood. The farmer hanged himself in his large tobacco shed. He was rich and apparently contented and happy. It was said that the meeting' was shortly te have been held at his house, and that because he did net feel geed enough te preach be pre ferred death rather than hypocrisy and de ception. Others say that he was out of his mind. When all the friends had arrived at the meeting they left the house and went te the orchard, the men carrying the chairs and seats after them. The women .left their bonnets and shawls inside. They never wear coats. A seedy-looking tramp passed along the read, and was at once invited te a seat in tbe shade. This is an invariable practice. The jcongregatien sang a familiar long metre hymn, but in an exceedingly low tone. Their singing was as subdued as their manuer and dress. The subject of the farmer's remarks was kindness net only kindness te fellow men and te family, but kindness te the beasts of the field, fowls of the air, and te cver thing that -lives. He spoke against the wanton destruction of anything that na ture has caused te spring up for the benefit of men. " We should even be kind te the crew," said he. He took strong ground against fishing and gunnfng for the mere sport of it. At the end of the talk a simple maniage service was performed by the speaker, who united a uasutul young Amisn man aim a modest Amish maiden. All that distin guished the bride from the rest of the women in the matter of dress was her white silk kerchief. Any Amish farmer in geed standing iu the society is authorized te marry Amish people in the presence of witnesses. When the marriage was con cluded there followed a quiet congratula tion. The entire assemblage were then invited te the farm house te partake of refreshment. This is done after every meeting. At each plate is a knife and a cup. Ne forks or saucers arc te be seen, either at meeting feasts or at funeral meals, which are another custom of the Amish. At the meeting meal which I at tended they served splendid white bicad, rich golden butter, milk, water, or coffee, roast veal, cold dishes, pickles, pie and cake. The meat had been cut iu small pieces and was raised te the mouth with the fingers. Coffee was sipped and knives were used only te butter the bread. Men, women and children, all in the family, attend these meetings. Ne ene is left behind te take care of the "farm but the hired man. He is never au Amishman. Whenever a peer Amishman comes along and wants employment he is net hired, but assisted into some kind of business for himself. Nearly every Amish farmer of large means has a tenant house or two en his place. Any .peer Amish family in geed standing that may pass that way are privileged te move in, rent free, and Le remain there until they can help them selves. If the houses are net iu use, the neighbors, net Amish people, arc privi leged te use them for Sunday school pur poses. It was late in the day when we returned from the meeting. I had heard very little interesting matter discussed. Farm topics and domestic subjects were about all that were spoken of. Very little if anything was referred te that is new interesting the outside world. They were intensely inter estcd, however, iu the recovery of the president, of whose attempted assas-.ina-tieu they were thoroughly iufermed. The Amish pay very little attention te the or dinary run of the day's news. They read very few if any secular papers. Occasion ally a home weekly is met with among them. They arc well infeimed en the markets, and generally have ene place te sell their farm products. An Amishman's word isas geed as his bend. That is the rule that guides them iu all their business relations with each ether. They never go te law. Occasionally, however, they are forced into it by tbeir business dealings with eutsideis, but only after all ether peaceful efforts have failed. They de net marry outside of their own sect, aud arc very strict in this matter. The horses that .in Amishmau intends te use en Sun day are never worked en Saturday. Last evening tiicre was a committee meeting at this farm house. Six sturdy Amishmcn reined in their horses about dusk and met my host iu a back room. They met te investigate net only the finan cial standing of a member of their circle, but certain charges of dishonesty. Thus arc all internal irregularities secretly aud quickly cleared up by the committee. It was only by chance that I learned the cause of the meeting. I innocently asked my host, and, net te be rude, he gave me some sort of an answer which left mu te infer what is written above. A complaint is quietly made by the person aggrieved, the accused aud accuser are summoned face te face, statements are made, and the committee renders judgment. This is done only iu extreme cases, for the Ainish Ainish reen generally settle their disputes among themselves without resertiug te the com mittce. Sometimes they are basely de ceived. Net long age an Amish farmer defrauded his brethren out of $20,000 bor rowed money, and thcu quitted the coun try. The losers took no steps te punish the offender. They seemed te be concern ed only iu hushing up the scandal. This morning my host called one of his help and said te him : "Edward, drive our white cow Mary down te Widow Phoebe's, aud tell her it is hers uutil she has no mere use for it." Te me the Amishman said that the widow up the read had lest her cow by colic that morning, and that she must have a cow. Should the widow die, the cow reverts te the former owner. The Amish people try te live as nearly right as they can, and they prefer te deal as little as possible with the eutside world. While they are hospitable and kind te strangers, they de net seek their soci ety. During my sojourn among them I was net asked a dozen questions-upon the bus iness, social or political affairs of the out side world. They were, however, free te talk about religion, churches, orthodoxy, and froe thought. Cel. Ingersoll has no admirers among them becatt.se they de net undci stand him. Visitors de as the Amish de. We retire some times as early as 8, never later than t)A. We get up at 5. The visitor may walk or ride ever the farm a half hour, rest and read until 0, when the farmer ar.d his help have completed their work, and breakfast is served, invariably with prayer. There is a lunch at 10, dinner at 12, supper at 5, sometimes at G, mera work for an hour or se, when comes the evening for smoking and gossip. A week's idling may be readily and advantageously put in among these sturdy farmers and tobacco growers. Mere New Yerk people visit here te buy leaf tobacco than go te any ether county in the ceuutry, and the Amish farmers are slowly and surely becoming very ricb. Rich as they may lie, they stick te their plain ways and plain dress, and their wives never wear a flower in their bonnet, or a fringe, or a bright ribbon, or a jewel (mere than a plain fin ger or car ring), a stylish coat, a bright colored dress, or kid gloves of a pretty shade. But who can tell of the hearts among them that' are longing for a change, Tlieir maidens are fresh, rosy, and dark eyed, aud many of them are handsome. When they are away from home their pret ty faces are hid away in the recesses of their deep black bonnets. At home their hair is plainly parted in the old style, aud some, wear muslin caps. ''It is a very great wonder that these handsome and active Amish girls .remain submissive as they de." I remarked te a New Yerk business man visiting here. "Well," said he, "I've visited here many years, and I've often asked that question myself. I never heard of but one young woman running, away, and she died 'in the West seven months after she left, heart-broken. They became very much attached te their simple way. There are plenty of Amish families worth $259, 000 in this section, and yet their handsome daughters' ordinary Sunday dress does net cost her father $2. When she is at the proper age te marry, she may get a black silk dress that may cost $1.50 or $2 per yard. The boys raise sheep, and find their own clothes. The Amish are are net stingy or miserly, but they are satisfied te live and clothe themselves exactly as their forefathers did hundreds of years age." Werklnginen.

The following article was voluntarily sent fr. Mr. II. E. Slaymaker, Agent for ReiirartV old Wine Stere, by i prominent practising physi cian et this county, who has extensively usee the Brandy referred te in his regular pruiticu It is commended te the attention et these af flicted with Indigestion and Dyspepsia. BRANDY AS A MEDICINE. This new much abused Alcoholic Stlniulum was never intended us a beverage, but te lit. used as a medicine of great potency in the cure of some of the destructive diseases which sweep away their annual thousands of v ictiius Wit ha purely philanthropic motive we prt sent te the favorable notice et invalids espe cially these alllieted with that miserable ills esise Dyspepsia, a specific remedy, which It nothing mere or less than Brandy. The aged, with feeble appetite and mere et less debility, will find this simple medicine, when used properly, A Sovereign Remedy or all their Ills anil aches. Be it, hewevei strictly understood that we prescribe and us but one article, and that is REIGART'S OLD BRANDY, Sold by our enterprising young friend, 11 H SLAYMAKER. This Brandy has steed the test for years, and has never failed, as lai as our experience extends, and we therefore give it the preference ever all etner Brandies no matt er with hew many jaw-breaking French titles they are branded. One-fourth of the money that Is yearly thrown away en various Impotent dyspepsia specifics would suffice te buy all the Brandy te euro any snch case ei ascs. In proof of the curative powers et Reigart's Old Brandy, In cases et Dyspepsia, we can summon nuin bers of witnesses one case in particular wr cite: A hard-working farmer had been ntHictcu with an exhaustive Dyspepsia ter a number of years; his stomach would reject almost every Kind. of feed; he had sour eructatiens con stantly ue appetite in fact, lie was obliged tr. restrict bis diet te crackera and stale bread, and as a beverage he used McGrann's Reet Beer. He is a Methodist, and then, as new S reached at times, and in his discourses often cclaiined earnestly against all kinds of strong drink. When advised te trv Reigart's Old Brandy, In his case, he looked up with astenliiiucm, but after hearing et Its wonderful etleets in the cases of some of his near acquaiutaneca, Ik at last consented te fellow our advice. Ht used the Brandy faithfully and steadily; the first bottle giving him an appetite, and bctert the second was taken he was a round man.witl. a steiuacu capaiue ei tiigestingnny tiling wide!: Iiejchese te eat. He still keens it and uses a lit tle occasionally; and since lie has this niedi clne he I ins been of very little pecuniary bene fit te the doctor. A Fkaotisine Phvsician. If. K SLAYMAKER.
