' PROFANITY IN THE CARS.—A writer
mono of our exchanges has the follow
ing to say about .vhat has been obser
ved by many persons, viz : the rapid
increase of profanity and vulgarity in
the cars:
.Ears polite are shocked by profani
ty in the cars running on different
railroads. To so great an extent has
this come that ladies having respect
for themselves have been compelled to
change cars because of the shocking
and lamentable want of common de
cency, as exhibited by some of the
passengers. If a gentleman out of po
lite defference to the ladies, should
happen to even gently reprimand the
uncouth and vulgar fellows, instead of
having a desirable effect it seems to
make them worse. In such cases the
conductors should turn the self con
demned immoralists out of the ears.—
The boards of railroads have long since
passed stringent resolutions to prevent
smoking in the ladies' car and a special
car is attaelled, for the smokers' bene
fit The smoke of a cigar is not offen
sive to people, as a general thing, but
the smoke of immorality suggestive of
'fire and brimstone,' is entirely too sti
fling to everybody except the low, the
vulgar, and the vile; and it should not
be permitted to impregnate the atmos
phere of a public passenger car, or any
other place where promiscuous crowds
of people are apt to collect. It is an
intolerable nuisance, and with a view
to ite abatement we would suggest the
propriety of attaching a profane car in
front of that occupied by smokers, fur
the accommodation of those Who have
no regard for the laws of God or for
the feelings of those who may be with
in the sound of their voices."

GREAT EATERS
Great eaters never live long. vo
racious appetite, so far from being a
sign of health, is certain indieatioti of
disease. Some dyspeptics are always
hungry; feel hest .when they. are • eat,
ing, but as soon as they have eaten
they endure torments so distressing in
their nature, as to make the Unhappy
Victim wish for death. The appetite
of health is that which inclines to eat
moderately, when eating tirne comes,
and which, when satified, leaves no un
pleasant reminders. Multitudes Mea
sure their health by the amount they
can eat; and of any ten persons nine
are gratified at an increase - of Weight,
as if mere bulk were an index of their
health ; when, in reality, any excess
of fatness is, in proportion, decisive
proof of existing disease ; showing that
the absorbents of the system are too
weak to discharge their duty; and the
tendency to fatness, to obesity, increa
ses until existence is a burden, and
sudden death closes the history: Par
ticular inquiry will almost - invariably
elicit the fact, that a fat person, how
ever rubicund and jolly, is never well;
and yet they are envied.
While great eaters never live to an
old age, and are never, for a single
day, without some symptoms, sonic
feeling sufficiently disagreeable to at
tract the mind's attention unpleasant
ly, small eaters, those who eat regular
ly of plain food, usually have no•sparc
flesh, are wiry and enduring, and live
to an active old age. Remarkable ex
emplifications of these statements are
found in the lives of' the centenarians
of a past age. Galen, one of the most
distinguished physicians among the
ancients, lived very sparingly after the
age of twenty-eight, and died in his
hundred and fortieth year.
Kentigern, who never tasted spirits
or wino, and worked hard all his life,
reached a hundred and eight-five yrs.
Jenkins, a poor Yorkshire fisherman,
who lived on the coarsest diet, was one
hundred and sixty nine years old when
he died. Old Parr lived to a hundred
and fifty three; his diet being milk;
cheese, whey, small beer, and coarse
bread. The favorite food of Henry
Francisco, who lived to see one-hund
red and - forty, - was t ea, - bread- and-but--
ter, and baked apples. Mr. Ephraim
Pratt, of SlUiteshbry, Mass., who died
aged one hundred and seventeen, lived
chiefly on milk, and even that in- small
quantity; his son-Michael, by similar
means, lived to be a hundred and three
years old. Father Cull, a Methodist
clergyman died at the age of a hund
red and five, the main diet of his life
having been salted swine's flesh (ha
con) and bread made of Indian meal.
From these statements nine general
readers out of ten will jump to the con
clusion that milk is healthy, as are
baked apples and bacon. These con
clusions do not legitimately follow.—
The- only inference that can be safely
drawn is from the only fact running
through all these cases—that plain
food and a lifo of steady labor tend to
a great age.
As to the healthfulness and life-pro
tecting qualities of any article of diet
named, nothing can be inferred, for no
two of the men lived on the same kind
of food; all that can be rationally and
safely said is, either that they Hired so
long in spite of the quality of the food
they ate, or that their instinct called
for a particular kind of food; and the
gratification of that instinct, instead of
its perversion, with a life of steady la
bor, directly caused healthfulness and
great length of days. We must not
expect to live long by doing any one
thing which an old man did, and omit
all others, but by doing all he slid;
that is, work steadily as well as eat
mainly a particular Jour
nal of Health.

hew men die •of age. Almost all
persons die of disappointmon t, passion,
mental or bodily toil; or accident. The
passions kill men sometimes even sud
denly.. The common expression,
ked with passion,' has little exaggera
tion in it, for eVen though not sudden
ly fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong-bodied men often die young—
weak men ,live longer than the strong,
for the - strong - use their strength, and
the weak have none to use. The lat

so it is with the mind and temper.
The strong are apt to break, or like
the candle, run; the weak burn out.
The inferior animals which live tem

twelve; the rabbit eight; the Guinea
pig six or seven. They number tt'l

that, ho scarcely reaches an average
of two times the growing period. The
reason is oln 4 ions—man. is not only
the most irregular and the most in
temperate, but the most laborioul and
hard worked of all animals, and there
is reason to believe, though we cannot

cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and
consumes himself in the fire of his
own reflection.
Mysteries and Miseries of Fishing
An editor gives the following "ex
perience" in fishing:
We got ono worm and laid the sli
my thing down upon the earth, and
proceeded to dig for another. When
wo had captured another, we discov
ered that number one had squirmed
around in an insane• manner and re
entered the earth. This occurred sev
eral times. We were in a quandary.
We solicited our friend, in a very gen

refused to do, unlesS Upon corn mission,
preferring to rest his body upon an
ancient root, in imitati'-n of the letter
Z, and affected to ho highly amused.
We scorned his assistance when we
found we couldn't get it, and dug
worms in a desperate manner, produ
cing the nasty things in such abun
dance that they were in each other's
way, and could not escape. Wo ar
ranged the tackle and dropped a line,
"hoping to find the finny tribe in the
same state of health." Wo fished and
fished. There was nothing but min
nows—myriads of nibbling minnows.
They had not, apparently, tasted food
for several weeks. After feeding away
about a barrel of worms, and digging
up about an acre or so of ground, we
began to experience some indignation.
Job, in the sorest'state of his carbun

Ono minnow, which, if possible seem

our excitement, wo regret to say, we
hooked him in the bowels, and instead
of a feeling of anguish ; generally ex
cited-by a sense of guilt, we gloried in
the remorseless act. After serving
several other minnows in the same
way, and having walked out some die.

find our retreat cut off by a bumble

had passed. The groat alternative of
taking four feet of water, or being bit
ten by the images of satan, or stung
to death by bumblebee's, was presen
ted. We chose the former, and after
buffetting with the waves of the 'ra

safety, firmly convinced that Izaak

WHAT PRESIDENT LINCOLN THINKS
or GRANT.---Th reply to a question in
regard to the present military pros
pect, Mr. Lincoln, with that peculiar
smile which he always puts on when
about to tell a good story, said :'Well,
sir, your question reminds me of a lit
tle anecdote about the automaton
chess player, which many years ago
astonished the world by its skill in
that game. After awhile the automa
ton was challenged by a celebrated
player, who, to his great chagrin, was
beaten twice by the machine. At the
end of the second game, the player,
significantly pointing his finger at the
automaton, exclaimed, in a very deci
ded tone, 'There's a man in it !' And
this, sir, is just the secret of our pres
ent success.'
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1864.
The Age of Mau.
-PERSEVERE.-
A Lesson for Wayward boys.
About a year ago, the anxious fat)
of a poor woman . in search of her lost
boy, was familiar on the railroad in
the northern part of Ohio. Her name
was CITIiAItiNE BIME, and sho lived
in the vicinity of Columbus. The fol
lowing was the story of her affliction
which sho told such sympathizing
strangers as were prompted to address.
her Sho was a widow with an only
child; a wayward boy of about twelve
years.—ln that boy centered all her
hopes and fears. One clay she cor
rected him for some offence, and on
that day ho disappeared from home.
*She made inquiries for him in the
neighborhood as soon/as his absence
was discovered, but heard nothing of
him. Thinking that ho had joined
some military company and gone to
the war, she made a visit to the vari
ous camps she could hear of, but al
though she found many boys of her
son's age not one of them gave her
heart that nameless thrill which a
mother feels at the discovery of her
missing offspring.—Restless and anx
ious, she would return home (home no
more without her boy, poor heart!)
to again start out upon her weary and
fruitless search. •
licr wild and haggard countenance
upon which a settled grief had traced
heady lines, became. familiar upon the
railroad, and she was allowed to go
and come as she pleased, no conduct
or troubled her for a ticket or fare.
Her story was known, and her afflic
tion gave her immunities that nothing
else could have obtained. At the de
pot on the arrival and departure of
trains, she would be seen scanning the
moving throng, and there was but one
image on her mind—that of her way
ward and idolized boy. Her form
would be seen gliding through the
•'soldier• train," that was bearing away
volunteers to the war, and the coarsest
soldier checked his mirth and with
held the rude jest when he saw that
pale and sorrowful face, and caught
the anxious unsettled glance of her
eye as she scanned the countenances
before her.
We once saw the woman itt, a depot
ihe.eleveland and road.
search for three months. A compas
sionate bystander was attempting to
soothe her by telling her that her son
was doubtless taken care of somewhere.
She said she would he happy if she on
ly knew that he was not suffering
from hunger and she could not sleep,
for the picture of her boy without shel
ter was constantly on her mind ller
anxiety and grief had made fearful
inroads upon a countenance that must
have been prepossessing once (she was
only in middle life) and there was a
strange glittering in her eye that be
tokened insanity.
In the folloWing brief paragraph in
a recent number of the Cleveland Her
ald, wo find tbo sequel to the sad sto
ry of Catharine Buck :
"KILLED BY THE CARS.—An insane
woman was lately killed by the cars
on the Atlantic and great Western
Railroad, near West Greenville, Pa.
She was sitting on the track and made
no effort to escape until it was to late.
—The cow-catcher caught her, throw
ing her down an embankment and
killing her instantly. Her name was
Catharine Buck."
The weary is at rest. What a les
son is the above to wayward, thought.
less boys, who think running away
from home such a bravo achievement.
A loving mother driven to• insanity
and death.
To a Mother.
You have a child on your knee. Lis_
ten a moment. Do you know what
that child is? It is an immortal be
ing; destined to live forever ! It is
destined to be happy or miserable !
You, the mother! you, who gave it
birth, the mother of its being, are also
the mother of its soul for good or ill.
Its character is yet undecided—its des,
tiny is placed in your hands. What
shall it be ? The child may be a liar;
you can prevent it. It may be a
drunkard; you Can prevent it. It may
be an atheist; you can prevent it. It
may live a life of misery to itself and
of mischief to Others; you can prevent
it. It may descend into the grave
with an evil memory behind and dread

the mother, can prevent all these
things—will you or will you not?

will you save it? Will you watch
over it? Will you teach it, discipline
it, pray for it? Or will you, in vain
search of pleasure, or in gaiety, or fa

other bauble or even household cares,
neglect the soul of that child, and
leave the little immortal to take wing
alone, exposed to evil temptation—to

Rebel Spy Shot and Captured...
• On Friday last, Latshaw, the on
rolling officer for Franklin township,
Adams county, met a suspicious look
ing character on the road; and queS
tioned hint as to his residence: Ho
answered that he resided in that town
ship, but when interrogated as to the
names of his neighbors, ho found that
Mr:lLatsbaw was likely to detect hini
and he said he had made a mistake—
that he resided beyond Mereersburg.
From hi . donfused . and unsatisfactory
statement, Mr.. Latshaw felt it his du
ty to arrest him, and he did so. The
prisoner made no resistance, bat
proposed to walk back to New Salem;
but on the way he took the first favor
able oportunity to jump the fence and
run away. The officer purfined, and
was joined by the people of the neigh
borhood; and after a chase of about
three hours, he was recaptured with-
out being injured. Officer ratshaw
then bound his feet togetber, and start.
ed for Chamhersburg to deliver the
prisoner to Captain Eyster, the PrO
vost-Marshal. Latshaw and the pris
oner wore in a single seated buggy,
and Mr. Slonaker rode behind on horse
back. When in the South Mountain,
the prisoner managed quietly to get,
his feet loose, and when opposite a
dense thicket of laurel, he sprang from
the buggy into the bushes.. Mr.Elonk
ker fired at hint and lodged a ball in
his shouldior, looking 11, slight wound,
but it did not arrest the prisoner.
Latshaw immediately jumped from
the buggy and rushed into the thicket
after him, and called to. him twice to
halt or he would fire; but the prisoner
continued to get away as fast as pos
sible. Latshaw fired and struck him
in the hip, shattering the bone badly,
and of course arresting his progress
He at once called out that he was mor
tally wounded. Mr. Slonakcr . went
up to him, while Latshaw pursued his
horse, and the prisOner told him that
he was fatally injured—that he could
not live long, and at once admitted
that he was a rebel spy, and had met
a just fate. He gave his name as
Lloyd, and stated that he had been in
this section making observations for
the benefit, of the rebels.
He is a man of about forty years of
age, stoutly built, with dark hair and.
goatee, is quite intelligent. and has ev
idently been a laboring man. It is
more than probable that he is a rebel
officer. On his 'person was found a
belt with nearly filoo of gold, and had .
Chattanobga Virgifflu rebel money
and a little Pennsylvania currency.
Ho represents himself as a native of
Leo county, Virginia, but says he liv

where it was written torn off, which
refer . :; frciin a journey to Up underta
ken, and Ri3rtain inforniatioti to be
conveyed; but it furnishes no clue to
parties in complicity with him, He
bad also a Cincinnati paper of the 28th
ult. in his pocket, from which we
think it probable that he passed thro'
that place several weeks ago. He was
in this town a few clays before ho. was
arrested; tried to sell some gold at the
bank, and very carefully , scanned a
map of the county hanging in the bank.
His thigh wound is very serious, but
not necessarily mortal, and his recov.
ery is altogether probable. He is now
in the hospital in this place, in the
custody of Gen Couch, amid will , . we
learn, be sent to Fort Mifflin as. soon
as he recovers sufficiently to be remov

GEN.GRANT.-,-A. "14TTLli" Lit:AR:NT.
—The Nashville correspondent of the
Chicago Journal relates the following:
Speaking of `Grant's campaign, I
.wish here to put on record a little in•
cide.at, which I have never yet seen in
print, and which was communicated
to me by an officer some time since,
and which might have been contraband
once, but is not now, since the plans of
the Eastern campaign have been de
veloped.
While General Grant was in front of
Vicksburg, he wus conversing with
several officers on the subject of the
capture of Richmond. 'Can it be ta
ken, General ?' asked one of these.—
'With ease,' was the reply. 'By the
Peninsula?' contiued the querist.
responded the General. 'lf I had the
charge of the matter, I would want
two large armies; ono to move direct
ly on Lee, and the other to land at
City Point, and cut communications to
the southward. Leo would then be
compelled to fall back, and the army
from the north could press ; and if pos.
sible, defeat him.
'lf be would open up communication
again with the cotton States, ho must
fight the army south of the James; and
to do this, he must cross his whole
force; otherwise he could be defeated
in detail, if he did so cross, the No s
thorn army could take Eichmon&;• .7 hf
he did not, that from the south' could
move up the heights south of the river.
James, and shell and destroy the city.'
I communicated this fact to two
confidential friends the day Grant was
first called to Washington ;liUd': - newi
for the first time, make it pablio. At
the time the remarks Were Made, the
General had no thought of being called
to the position he now occupies.
