Mr J. Patton Thompson, now connected with
the well known wholesale Notion House of
M M. Marple & Co.. Philadelphia. has become
the fortunate patentee of a very valuable in
vention which about a year ago, as niauy of
our readers will no doubt remember, was
favorably noticed by the Philadelphia papers.
The patent consists of a Cabinet for holding
cottOB and silk spools of any size, and is se
arranged as admirably to meet the wants of
retail dealers by showing at a glance the rize
of the spool desired, avoiding the possibility of
different numbers becoming mixed, and besides
all this is a great saver of time and space. As
an evidence of the value of this patent it is
sufficient to say that the extensive spool silk
house of Brainard, Armstrong & Co.. No. 4fU
Broadway. New York, and No. 220 Market
street, Philadelphia, fully appreciating its
great merits. Lave paid a handtome sum for
the sole right to exhibit spool silk in this Cab
inet. The motto of this firm, " Best in the
World," indicates their ambition, their goods
having become a itandard in the trade, and
Mr. Thompson has been fortunate in securing
this first class house to place his Cabinet before
the country and thus enable our merchants to
realize the worth of this highly valuable and
very useful icveution.

KEVE&'TY TEARS AGO.
WHAT WK HAD NOT.
Being somewhat ancient myself. I wish to
inform some of your more youihrnl readers
how people lived seventy-two Vears ago, or say
seventy years ago, in order that the spiiit of
discontent so noticeable among youog people
at the present day may be somewhat assuaged.
Seventy years ago there was no Cambria
couuty, and very few inhabitants where Cai
bria county is now 6'ituated.
Seventy years ago there were no turnpikes,
no stage coaches, no canals, no railroads, and
no telegraphs.
Seveuty years ago there were no lucifer
matches, no carbon oil, no gs. nocoal fires,

tered nor papered rooms, and but little carpet.

the world than their parents, teachers, or any
body else.
WHAT WE HAD.
Seventy years ago there were pack-saddles,
pack horses and by-ways over the mountains,
over which salt, pig metal, and store goods,
were packed.
Seventy years ago wo bid tinrer boxes,
flints, ster! msj s. powder and tow with which
We kindled fires.
Seventy years ago we had the flail, the
sickle, the largo wood fire, wooden lorka,
wooden plows, wooden wagons aud sleds, and
lots of hard woik at grubbing, making rails,
chopping, burning bruth. and such like labor.
Seventy jearj ago we had to months'
school per year in an old cibin, puncheon
ttjors, long nurrow windows, greased p.tper
lig'.its, high, rouud, woodeu benches, aud a
roaring wood fire.
Seventy yours sgo we had p"ne-.knot, dip
ped or mould tallow candles, iron I imps, with
hog's la.d and other contrivances for lilit.
Seventy years ago we had, for reading in,
large prayer books, psalm books and bibles,

see to read without spectacles.
Seventy years ago we had tents for churches,

Seventy years ago we carded the woo with

Seveuty years ago we had linen shirts, linon
dresses, tow cloth pants, linen sheets and pit
low slips, linen table cloths, and home made
garments to go to church in.
Seventy years ago wo had water mills, or
tread miil.-i, and often e lived on hominy, or

Seventy years ago we had cabin houses,
cabin barns, cs.t.in stable, clapbiard roofs.
weight poles, trees and stump, lots of hard
work, frequent vi.-its, plenty of strong, course
food, and mannerly children.
Seventy years ago Ohio State was the back
woods, inhabited chiefly by Indians, as were
alt the other States and territories woat of that
region. Oh.deir! what seventy years have

A Foil, t ) Nabt There is a good deal of
practical sense of fighting the devil with fire,"
and we ob.ervo that some of the opponents of
Grant and his administration are avaihng them
selves of its full force. Hitherto the Radical
pnrty h:is had ilmost exclusive benefit of this
ridicule and assault. The sketches of Nasi,
in IIabpkr'b Wbkklt, have agisted greatly to
prop up Radicalism and divert public attention
Irom tt. rlu..-W,n and criavious outrages of
that party. I his, we are glad to inow" la to
be so i.o longer. Frank Lulie has engaged
the talented caricaturist, Mstt Morgan, to con
tribute regularly political sketches to Leslie's
pipeis, and his barbed arrows are to be flung
into the fl inks of tho administration bull for
ihe amusement of the American public. The
first page of the last Bt nciT ok ?vh is devo'ed
to a genuine caticatureof Grant's predomi
nating characteristics. Belweeti two savage
bull terriers sits 17. S. G. scratching his pate
with perplexity at the smashing up of the po
litical faction which elected him. The dog to
the right with a rueful look into the master's
face shews its sympathy. The other beats
time to its master's thinking machinery with
its hind paw. The picture is in entire keeping
with the subject. Oue page is devoted to ilt
lustrating "consequential damages." In No.
1, Mrs. Coyle sues her recreant lover for the
loss of a brown stone house which she might
now own if her lover hadn't married somebody
else. In No. 2 Miss Stuckup wants damages
from her ni for pox maiks which resulted
from a failure to vaccinate her. No. 3 repre
sents young America about to sue for conse
quential damages because he took physic and
w a detained at home, wherefore he mised hi
lessons and got whipped. No. 5 Mrs. Briggs

t.an.t an ha won't take her tn ilia W

6 Old maid, just married says : "Jeremiah is
coing to sue you for consequential damages.
If you bad married me sooner," &c. Leslie's
papers are kept by all news dealers.
Pocket Dictionart We have reeeived
from the publishers. 138 and 11 1 Grand Street,
a copy of Webster "a Pocket Dictionary, wkich
is a great improvement over all previous edi
tions and all similar works. In the first place
it ia neatly printed, and bound in morocco, with
gilt edges. Then it contains 200 pictorial il
lustrations, which give a much clearer idea of
the meaning of many words than could possi
bly be conveyed by the usual definition. The
litile volume, while being no larger than an
ordinary pocket book, embraces in its vocabu
lary a careful selection of over 18 000 of the
most important words of the language, with
definitions sufficiently clear, though necessarily
brief, to meet the ordinary wants of any oue
requiring its use. Prefixed to the work are
tables of money, weight and measures, abbre
viations, word and phrases from foreign lan
guages, rules for spelling, explanations, etc.
It is iu fact a most valuable little book, and is
doubly worth the dollar it costs. The Pub
liahe-a. Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co. , 138
and 140 Grand Street, New York, wiil forward
it by mail on receipt of One Dollar, or it oan
be bought at almost any book store.
A LEOEKD.
In olden times the faithful loved to tell
Of wondrous thing's that ancient saints befell:
How that God often showed His' deep, strong
love
For some fair soul as guileless as the dove ;
How in fainilinr tones the saint expressed
The love of God that burned within bis breast.
Then how the Ixird on saints His favors poured
And met mid-way the heart that to Him soared;
How graciously lie beard Wis servants' prayer.
As If on them He centred all His care.
Though simple was the form, how deep, bow
true
The lessons that were thus exposed to view I
That Jacob's ladder, even vet, they teach
From earth below to heaven above dot'u reach.
On which the ang-els ever movlnjr boar
Hare jrifts from God, from men but bumble
pray e i-;
That even still the Lord with us remains
For we help Him whet soothing others' pains;
That he who clothes the poor man's shivei'ihjr
frame
Cnto our loving Master doth the same;
To him who for the poor has open door
In after years God Rives un end lews stooe.
When men loved thus iu simple dress to veil
Some noble truth, was heard my humble tale.
Beside a deep and tranquil stream there stands'
A noble cloister famed through distant lauds
In airfs past. Now onlv ruins tell
The high estate from which it downwards fell.
For many storms against its towers have
crashed.
Destructive bolts against Its walls have dashed,
Since ruled therein the painted Iodokus,
Of whom this leg-end has come down to us.
W'hilst once at early morn the Abbot prayed,
A wanderinir berKr to the portals strayed!;
In tremblintr accents did he aid implore:
Uut one small piece of broad, I ask no more."
He ceased. At once, as If bv duty urecd,
The holy Abbot from his cell emerged
And loudly called the bustling steward's name.
On which, obedient, forth the steward came.
"Give this poor mini a portion of our bread
That he may live," the pitvintr Abbot said.
"We have but one small loaf I know not where
Another we can jfet. How can we spare
A piece for him ; enough there is not here
For you and me and trusty dog, I fear."
"Away from us such littleness should tie,
From selfish fears a Christian true is free.
T'nto the Lord, the righteous God, be lends
Who to the suffering poor prompt aid extend.
Then trustful give. Our life on (Jod depends."
The steward took the loaf and slowly broketJJ
And thus unto the beggar sharply spoke:
"Here, take and eat. this is thy share.
Hard. Indeed. God knows, it Is to spare,
Hut he must be obeyed in every whim :
When he'll bo hungry who wilf then help him?"
Away the beggar went ; the steward sore
In three small pieces broke their little store.
"This is for you, my father, this for me,
A nd this third pioee for our good dog will be."
These words the steward scarce had time to eay
When at the gate another e-ime to prny.
"O help mo. Christians! Help ine i on who can:
liobold n homeless, famished fellow man.
But onp small morsel of your bountv give.
Or else from hunger I will cease to llvo."
"Give him my piece, the pitying Abhot cried.
"And von ?" the wondering steward quick re
plied. "For me our loving Master will provide."
F.re lonir another suffer- r did appear
Along whose pallid features coursed a tear:
So weak he wns he scarce could stand alone
Hi-i piteous prayer ho made in feehle tone.
"Oivo him thy pice." th weeping Abbot cried.
"With willine heart, for this poor mll provide,
Tho willine eift is never thrown nway :
In His good time the Lord will all repnv."
A moment passed, and then tho steward's band
Holds forth his piece, obedient to command.
Tho feeldo man bad staggered on bis way,
With eager haste bis hunger to allav.
But spo ! Here come nn nvn m;in bent loir
Ttv vears nnd woes. H is painful steps are slow.
With pallid hands outstretched ho fools his way;
Hi eves are sightless dark to him Is day.
Tn evory ioint a torturing pang he feels,
A s at each step a piercing cry reveals.
How deoo his woe. how croat his pain must be.
The tearful Ahbot cannot fail to poo.
"Dear Christian men. I pray yon p'ty take :
G iv help to me for your dear Saviour's sake.
Long is tho loiirifv. toilful is the war.
Mv atrengih is feeble, and my foot oft stray."
"Hear steward mine, make hasto to e-ive relief.
This nnnr mnu's sorrorvs fill my soul with grief.
Our trustv dn mnr well bis portion irivo.
Tho Lord will feed him. as he made him Urn.
A thousand thanks the blind man mutters o'er
As to his band the kindlv steward bore.
All that romnlnorl. and then pursues his way
Tn hones to find such friends another dnr.
But lit! what sounds are those that greet the
ear.
So heavenly sweet, so distant, yet so near?

Then rends these golden words on pcntinr.ts

Washington is UO feet; what is the length of its
Btimiow m it w tn .... f.ni.1 iArllittn. on tlm 15tli
day of October, 1(72. Answer next week. Ht
that time Harry Mayer will have sold out and
sent off ten thousand dollars' worth of the
cheapest made-up men's and boys' clothing
that the present generation ever beard or.
Harry keeps at No. 214 Main street, Johnstown.
Inquire for M. H. slayer's Clothing Store, or
the store where you get good bargains. All the
eume. Buy an overcoat now the best time.
A Poser. The height of a tree, diminished by
20 feet, is 60 feet, which is five-seventh of its
shadow; what Is the length of the shadow?
Answer, 11 feet. But it matters very little
what the height of the tree is so long as John J.
Murphy sells dry goods and dress goods for less
than treat and carrisre, at tho cheap corner,
commonly called the "Mansion House Corner,"
Johnstown. To lose one's life would be a great
misfortune, but to lose John J. Murphy's cheap
bargains in dry goods would be a calamity no
one could get over very easily in tbis world.
Lumber. The height of a tree is fiO feet, the
diameter 3 feet, and as straight as a sunbeam;
how many feet of boards would its shadow pro
duce? Answer, dubious. Hut Tintler & Aldcn
difcr, Mayer's old stand. No. '212 Mi in street,
Johnstown, are attracting an immense custom
at their dry goods store, owing to their elegant
atock, new styles, and low prices. This firm
keep everything in tho way of fancy and dress
goo as that ladies need, ite sure to give them
a call. Kemember the place, see the splendid
big sign, aud don't forget to buy something.
A Pt-ZZLER. The height or a tree in latitude
41 north and longitude 2 degrees west from
Washington is fiO feet, what is the length of its
shndow, made by the moon, when en said nieii
dian, tbe 15th night or October. 1872? Answer
next eclipse. It is n puzzler to know how S. J.
Hess Si Co. can eclipse everybody selling cheap
clothing at No. 241 Main street. Johnstown.
Their stock is immense and their sales are im
menser. That is how they con afford to sell so
wonderfully cheap. The best of cloth and the
best of sewing- and the best of 6tyles.
Oh L.ART! Chicago slaughtered swine num
bering 1,075,167. The imagination loses itself in
the sublime contemplation of these cords of
ham, acres of chops, miles of sausages and
leagues of trachina, and turns with pleasure to
the contemplation of a more congenial subject
tbe number of sacks and barrels of superior
flour sold by E. J. Mills and the stacks or good
bread, cakes and pies which follow as a matter
of course. The best of flour at lowest prices.
Hain't It? When a woman can faint, and
hasja capital opportunity for fatntlng, and yet
doesn't faint, you may be sure she has 6ome
other feint in view. And when a man needs
hardware, tinware, stoves, farm implements,
or other useful articles, and bus the capital op
portunity which is presented him every day of
buying the same at Geo. Huntley's, and doesn't
do it, he must be a regular built Bologna sau
