While they produce powerful effects, they are at the saw time, in dimiuished doses, the safest and beat physio that can be employed tor children.

IIOlJGllTOIt'8 CAT, .,. .... -WHO WAS THE BURGLAR. ! BY CAROLINE W. PRESTON. Mr. Jones was on lils way home from a small party, at a late liour a the evening. It was a very dark night, darkness solid enough to cat, as somebody has expressed it. Under the circumstances it was not per haps strange that Mr. Jones found consider able difficulty in finding the way home, fa miliar as it was. 1 ' ' ' ' At length, with a feeling of relief, he turn ed into the street Which he lived. I should say into the street which he suppose he lived, Tho fact was that he mistook tho street, and turned into one running parallel to it. "Now where's my house 1" thonght Jones. It was rather bard to tell. He tried with his eyes to peer through the darkness, but not very successfully. At last he discerned an ontline that looked like the front of No. C2, which he occupied. '.' "Yes," said he confidently, and with a feeling of decided relief, "that's it." But he was mistaken. It was the residence of Mr. Houghton, a dry goods merchant. " But how should Jones know I He couldn't read the name on tbe door plate. However lie felt so confident ho was right, thnt he probably wouldn't have done so if be could. He took out his latch-key, and inserted it in tbe proper place. By a very curious coincidence, and unfor tunately for Mr. Jones, as it proved, his latch-key fitted Mr. Houghton'B door. The door flew open, as if to its lawful-proprietor, and Jones entirely unconscious'tlint he was committing a grave offence in the eye of tho law, stepped tranquilly inside. It was about twelve o'clock. Every soul was in bed and asleep. I ouht to except Mrs. Houghton, who bad been kept awake by a severe tooth-ache. Jones groped his way along until he came to tbe hat stand, which happened to occu py a position similar to that in bis own hall, and quietly took otf his coat and hung it up. His hat ditto. He then thought he would make his way out into the dining room opening out of tbe hall at the end, aud light the gas. "I should think Mrs. Jones might have kept the hall burners lighted," he said to himself. "She knew I was going to stay out late. Confound it." This last exclamation was elicited by a stumble over an article of furniture in the dining-ronm, which he had already entered,. Jones fell over it.with considerable violence, producing a contusion on the knee, and a trilling pain in that bone sometimes denom inated the crazy -bone. "It's a regular man-trap," muttered Jones, picking himself up somewhat irritably. "What is it I have stumbled over?" He fyll about, thinking it might be a chair, but his astonishment may be conceived when he discovered, by his sense ot feeling, the ofending article was a cradle. "A cradle in my house I" he exclaimed. "What can it mean !" Mr. Jones' youngest child was ten years old, so that he had some ground for his sur prise. "A cradle!" ho repealed. "Good hea vens I Has Mrs. Jones been entertaining babies during my absence 1 Even if she has, she might have the good sense to put away the cradle, so that I needn't break my shins over it." He made a stride forward an unfortu nate step it proved. The table was laid for breakfast the custom in that household, but not in that of Mr. Jones. Coming into violent collision with it, the table was tipped over and there was a tremendous smashing of crockery, making a hideous racket. "Uoou gracious! ' thought Jones, "what on earth induced Mrs. Jones to set the ta ble over night, oo this particular occasion. She never has done so before. I suppose I have destroyed ten or fifteen dollars worth of crockery. It is Mrs. Jones' fault. I shall deduct it out of her pin money." Meanwnilo in the cuamber above, Mrs. Houghton had strivcu in vain to find relief from her tooth-ache, She tried cloves, she tried tooth-ache drops, and various other remedies, but all to no purpose. The disa greeable pain would not be exorcised. She envied Mr. Houghton, who lay in tranquil slumber unheeding her torments. All at once sue thought she heard the onter door open. Still she could hardly believe it. It must be Lor imagination. She thought, however, she would listen again. No; she was not mistaken. She certainly did hear a step in the hall. Mrs. Houghton began to be frightened. "Could it be burglars I" She waited. Next came tho sound of Jones, stumblinir over the cradle. "It must be somebody," thought Mrs. Houghton, nervously. "Shall I wake Mr. HouKUtoui If I do, and he goes down, and if burglars, they jill very likely shoot him. i n wait a niiuute." She did wait a minute. Then came the fearful crash of crockery, a sound which Mrs. Houghton heard with a degree of terror which quite cured the tooth ache. She felt that she could no loneer stand it alone So she gave her husband a vigorous BiiaKO. . " hats wanted? ' demanded he, drowsily, more than half asleep. "Wake up I" "Is it morning?' . "No, but you must wake np at once I" "What for what's the matter I" "There's matter enouirh 1" exclaimed Mrs. Houghton, in an energetic whisper, "There's uiuuigiar iu iiw uuuaa t "A what!" "A burglar I I heard him come io. He's making a tremendous noise below. I thiuk there raoy be two or three of them." "What's to be done?" said Houghton, now fairly awake. "They'll carry off my silver. I forgot to bring it up to-night." "I've got a pistol," said Mr. Houghton, "and I boliove it is loaded." "Then you'd better go down stairs and use it," said bis wifo, ber anxiety about her silver getting tbe better of . ber anxiety for ner nusnana s saiety. There was another crash, and a loud ex. clamation from Jones, as lie stepped on a dish wbicn bad toua far lay uninjured, and demolubed it. "He's wearing," said Mrs. Houghton. "Ob, do go down quick, before le gets at ihe silver." ' Mr. Houghton didn't seem to be much in a hurry. In fact ho waa rather cowardly by nature, aud did'ut at all relish a. conflict with a burglar. However, he put on his Eants in a leisurely manner, greatly to Mrs. oughton't disturbance. ' . "Oh, do be quick," she said. "I suppose you want him to shoot me," he muttered. "Why don't you go down yourself ?" . .,,. "That's a pretty question for a man to ask his wife. . There isn't any danger. He's in the dark, and you can open tha door at tha foot of the stairs and fire." "But perhaps he's got a lantern." "O, do go down, Mr. Houghton, or I shall go!" y i - , "Go, if you wish to." , "I believe you're a coward." "I am going as quick as I can," said Houghton, who did not relish thia imputa tion, moro especially as he had a decided conviction that it was near tho truth. , "Here's your pistol." Mr. Houghton took the pistol with no great alacrity, and opening the door, began to descend the stairs. He heard sounds, as or some one groping about, and that gave him courage. It seemed to indicate that the burglar had no light. "I hope ho won't catch hold of me," thought he, and his blood ran cold at the thought. "He is probably somo desperate ruffian." He slipped quietly to the foot of tho stairs, and pulling the trigger fired. There was a piercing scream, such as it was hard to think could proceed from any human lungs. Mr. Houghton, his soul stricken with fear, bounded up the stairs, four stairs at a bound. Jones beard the report, and he too waa astonished. "Who has got into the house!" ho thought. "Somebody has fired a pistol at me. Who screamed, I wonder t" Just then he stumbled across a box of matches, and struck one against the wall. Tbe light revealed to him the startling in formation that he was in the wrong house. "Good gracious I" he exclaimed, the light flashing upon him, "I've been fired at as a burglar. I must get out of this." He lost no time in making his way to tho front door, and hurried down the steps, fearing lest an alarm might be raised. He soon reached his own house, and entered, saying nothing of his adventure. The UoughtonB did not sleep much. Mr. noughton was convinced that he had shot a burglar, and that he was nrobabl v stretched out in tho dining-room. But he didn't like to go down and look at him. "Hotter wait till morning, he said. "He may still be alive, and might shoot me." lie bolted the chamber-door, but it is needless to say that neither he nor his wife slept much that night. With the first glimmcrinc of dawn, everv- thing below being quiet, his courage re turned and supported by Mrs. Houghton, he descended to the dining-room. Ho opened tho door nervously, but instead of seeing tho dead burglar, only saw an overturned table, demolished crockery, nnd on a chair, cold in death, the body of Mrs. Houghton s favorite cat, who had received the bullet intended for the midnight ma rauder. "Could it be possible that Tom upset the table ?" ejaculated Mrs. Houghton. "I think it must be," said her husband, bewildered. "And you shot him ?" "You told me to." "I don't understand it ; I distinctly heard somebody swear." "1'robably it was the cat," said Mr. Houghton, sarcastically. Mis. Houghton was not sure. It seemed as if puss were the only burglar, yet she had never heard that cats were in the habit of swearing. To this day thnt night's ad venture is a mystery to the bewildered pair. Of course Mr. Jones never revealed his com plicity, and the cat still bears the blame of the nocturnal uproar, and the destruction of .crockery. , MISCELLANEOUS. Female Federal Kplcw. TITEIB OPERATIONS IN LOUISVILLE DUHISa TUB WAR. From th Louisville Courier, 24th nit. Durine the spring and summer of 1863 the city of Louisville was lined with spies, male and female, who were operating in tho interest of the United States Government. These agents did not confine' their labors to Kentucky, but also operated in Southern Indiana, visiting the towns and hamlets, wherever "any clue could be obtained to parties dealing in articles contraband of war. Tbe temale spies were generally dis guised in male attire, and so complete was tbe deception tnat tney visited ine iouis ville Hotel, Gait House, theatres, aud other public places, without attracting any pur. ticular attention or exciting the slightest suspicion of their sex. They appeared like young men of eighteen or twenty ycais of age, and uressect in uie latest styies, twist ing their fancy canes and smoking cigars like young bloods of the first water. With the exception of, perhaps, three or four ci vilians, their range of acquaintances was confined to the officers then on duty at this post. It was their custom to report to tho provost marshal's office, in female attire, every day, and as there were women con stantly at the office on business, tuo pre sence of those spies never gave rise to any suspicion. These females frequently made incursions through the lines, and penetrated tho depths of the Confederacy, gaining important in formation regarding tne movements ot tne enemy, etc. Ut tnese me most oaring was a bandsome young actress, wno naa oeen a great favorite at Wood's Theatre, in this city. She has since, wa understand, pub lished a yallow covered mstory oi ner ope rations in tha Confederacy. But the most interesting part of it baa never been written. It waa the manner in which she was en gaged as a spy and the cunning plan by which she was delivered through the lines to the Confederatea as an "enemy" to the Union. If we mistake not she waa playing a part in the "Seven Sistors" when it oo eurred to the Provost Marshal that she would be just tbe "trick" for a spy. -It was accordingly proposed to her, and she "ac cepted the aituation in good faith," agree ing to abide by and follow out tho instruc tions laid down. In one. of the scenes a banquet occurs, at which each of tha per formers gave a toast, in which tbey aimed to make a "local bit." It waa understood that this actress should advance to the foot lights and drink "tha health of Jeff. Davis and tha Southern Confederacy," when she waa to be instantaneously arrested by the Provost Marshal, who waa on band with his guards for that purpose. The prograrumo was carried out to toe letter, and the result was a great sensation. . The audience in their bewilderment conld scarcely believe their ears, eyea or senses, and aa sba was a favorite on tho Louisville boards, tha sympathy for the supposed rash young lady was deep and earnest, although her frienda were powerless to help her, or save their pet from the impending doom. On the following day, thia incident (not set down io the programme) was the topic of conversation, and many wero tho expres sions of sympathy for this act of madness in the very teeth of tbe blue coats and brist ling bayonets. It will be recollected that at that time tho theatres were under the supervision of a provost guard, who wero ready to arrest tho first one who committed, by act or word, a breach of loyalty. The newspapers recorded the arrest of the fair actress, and in due time it was announced that ahe was to be sent through the lines for disloyalty to the government. This was considered a lenient sentence, but it was generally supposed that she was deemed a monomaniac by tbe military authorities. Of course, no person but himself and two or three of tho military were supposed to be in the secret, or had an idea that it was all premeditated on their part. When the day for her departure arrived, she was conducted to tho out posts with tho usual baggage allowed in such cases, in which were stowed away copies of tbe pa pers containing accounts of the affair. Tbe guards who conducted her to the lino of Dixie were no doubt in total ignoranco of the tact that she was on her mission as a Federal spy. Tan ruse succeeded admira bly and sho had scarcely penetrated the confederate . lines until the much abused youug lady was received with open arms by a detachment of tho "enemy" as & martyr to their causo. ner career in the South with the armies of Generals Bragg, Morgan and others, and her triumphant reception on the Richmond boards as the persecuted actress of the North together with her sub sequent detection, conviction and sentenco of death as a Federal spy, are all matters of yellow-covered history. Sho was rescued from prison at tho fall of Murfrecsboro, when the Federals took pos session, and sent to Nashville, where sho bud a big reception, and received some handsome presents from those who appreci ated her trials and faithfulness to the Union cause. The eoverumect afterwards com missioned, her as major, and for aught we know, ahe wears the rank to-day and re ceives pay, though we have not heard of her even having been assigned to the command of any department. The last account we bad of ber she was one of tbe attractions at Bamum's Museum, in New York. To Curb Drunkenness. Drunkenness is cured in Holland in the following manner: Tbe putient is shut up in a room, and de barred all communication, except with his physician. As ofteu as he pleases, spirits brandy, whisky, gin, &c, aro given him, but mixed with two-thirds water ; all other drinks, such as beer, coffee, wino, &c, are mixed with one-third brandy.

The Republicans will have a hard buttle to fight, with the chances against '.hem. In a htute where the rebel soldiers are petted and freely accorded the right to vote and control the State, and tho colored mau who bravely fought and bled for the flag, is down-trodden, there can be little hope that Union principles will prevail yet awiino.

J. Since President Johnson's overtures to tho Democrats havo grown so shameless, they ore evidently becoming somewhat afruid of their company. The New-York World of last week, in discussing the pro bable cabinet reorganization, hopes that only Republicans will be appointed to post tions. It docs not want tbo Democracy to bo held responsible. But the difficulty is that no decent Republican can be found who will so far fcrgct himself as to asso ciate himself with Johnson. Only renegades from both parties are low enough. A free and cosy conversation with Gen. Sheridan on his Presidential prospects, is reported to have elicited .the following re ply : "I expect to live and dio in tbe army. I have no aspirations for civil position. I believe I can discnargo tne executive duties of my present position, as I have succeeded in tbo command of both infantry aud cav alry forces, finding new exigencies ever tap ping now energies commensurate witu new fields of labor within the army ; but I love army life too well to seek its exchange for new and untried labor in civil life."

Iff life Ilatl. -.U araordlnar w Keve IiAtlOMS. : A Brooklyn correspondent of the New York AWi says : Near tho outskirts of tho city of Brooklyn lives a man and wifo who keep a large number of cows, the man ser ving tha milk to his customers every morn ing. It is not swill milk, for they have large pasture grounds, and in tho winter tho cows are fed on dry feed. Tbey havo earned a good reputation as dealers in pure milk, and the man has moro customers than ha can supply. The wife is a fino looking woman, about twenty-five year of age, though sho looks to bo much younger, and she has the finest complexion that it was ever my I'or tuno to see. They have living with them a young girl who is very good looking, and who Has tbo same remarkable clearness of complexion as the mistress. . I should say that she la more pf a com panion than servant, eating her meals with them, and in every respect is treatod as one of the family. Both of these women have fine figures, and, as I before stated, remark ably transparent complexions. . Tbo neigh bors havo it that they owe it to the largo ' quantity of pure milk they drink. They are the envy of all the ladies for miles around. Being a frequent visitor at the house, I had often observed the husband, when the milk was brought in, taking seve ral pailsful up Btairs, when hrs wifo would disappear for about an hour, and the milk be brought down stairs and put in the cans ready for serving to customers in the morn ing. I thought nothing more of the matter further than supposing there was a little innocent doctoring going on. On Sunday evening I called ; it was just before dark, and I knocked as usual at the door, but no one came ; so I strolled into tho garden, and as I passed the kitchen door I tried the latch. To my surprise, tho door opened. This is strange, thonght I ; they have either fallen asleep or gone out and forgotten to fasten the door. I entered, but there was no one in the kitchen. From there I passed to the dining room and par lor, but still there was no one to be seen. So I passed into the hall. The front door was locked on the inside. Now, as I had never known them to bo asleep at tbat time of day, I thought it very strange. I sat down in the hall, and took up a paper which was thero, and my eyes fell upon a paragraph giving an account of a horrible murder which had been committed upon a whole family. Good heavens, thought I. what if thev should be all up stairs murdered in their beds. So up stairs I rushed opened the first door that came to hand, and behold, yo godsl such a sight as I never before witnessed. As I opened the door I beheld the young woman before spoken of in a bath tub fast asleep, ber head being supported by a strap. Sho was in a bath of milk I Here was the mystery of the fine complexion of mistress and maid, as also of the mystery of tho carrying up and down stairs of tho milk. They were in the habit of taking a daily bath of milk, frcih from the cow, and, in order not to waste it, selling tbe samo milk to their customers I I closed tha door quietly, and made my exit as I entered. The future op tbe blacks in America is becoming darker and darker, and is greatly complicated by tho interference of Turkey. What right Turkey has to crush our blacks is not clear, but that she does crush them our Washington dispatches most gloomily relate. The dreadful situation is as follows : Mr. Seward wants to see the Turkish Minister, Mr. Blacque. His Secre tary writes to Judge Black. Black is out of town, and his son telegraphs to hi nr. Black, thinking he is to go into the Cabinet, rushes back to Washington, and the first man he meets at tho Stato Department is Blacque. Black and Blacque gaze at each other black ly. Black tums white, and Blacquo grows red. This dreadful encounter throws a gloom over tbo whole country, and we sug gest that Mr. Seward should call the atten tion of Turkey to that section of tbe Civil Rights bill which prohibits any persecution on account of race or color.

This Region with its large produc tive capacity is now placed in tho position by tho inactivity of manufacturing opera tions and tho high rates of transportation on the Reading Railroad, of merely supply ing the surplus required by the market and which tho other regions cannot furnish. And even this is done at prices which are not remunerative to the operator. The im mediate futuro of the trade here is gloomy and pregnant with trouble to all classes dependant upon it. We never knew it to be in a more depressed condition. Miner1 Journal. The Copperheads of Schylkill county held their nominating convention on Monday of last week. It was the occasion of a forcible demonstration of the Irish element in oppo sition to the English and Germans. Many of the Irish delegates were annod, and pre pared to go any length to accomplish their purposes. The convention continued in session until midnight, and then broke up in a row. Altogether it was a disgraceful affair, but was no doubt a fair exhibition of the character of "Democracy" in Schuylkill county. W. M. Randall was nominated for re election to the State Senate; and as we are to have a Copperhead from that district, we are content he shall be a gentleman of Randall's courteous and amiablo dispoei tion.

She became a mother, and then her torments of heart were doubled, for she knew of her inability to protect tho child in his mo ments or rather hours of passion.

As this ia about tbe time to commence putting up sweet corn for winter's use, tho method of curing it will probably be acceptable to many oi onr readers: "Uct your corn when the grains are in prime order for the table when the corn is tendcrest and the juice sweetest. Boil the corn a few minutes (not above five) three ia better than five. Then cut out and lay away to dry. Take any method that will soonest dry your corn, be ing always careful not to burn it ; and do not lay in lumps, or too close together when drying, or it will soon mould. Around a stove, or where there is a fire is a good place, always avoiding dampness, steam, etc. Put in sacks, and hang it away in a dry place, and your corn is fit for next winter's use. In using, you aro to restore it as near aa possible to tbe original state. This is best done by first washing it to get out dust and husk, and then thoroughly soaking in wa ter, using tbo samo to boil it in.
