BY A. BIGGE PLICLE. Now, seated in deep meditation, My mind would Indite an oration, Concerning the mental inflation Pervading a class of mankind : Behold the great modern reformers, Upon every village street corner, Explaining to loafers and scorners The science of matter and mind. Descanting on themes, to their nature As foreign in every feature, As an apple is to a potato, They edify many no doubt ; The minds of the masses instructing, New eras in wisdom inducting, And solidly thereby constructing A scheme to bring changes about. In every section you'll find them ; They leave their disciples behind them ; If in a corn mill you would grind them No atom of sense would appear; They deem themselves wisely created, To teach the unlearned and thick-pated, And by their great wisdom inflated They shed fbr their fellows a tear. But let us, with caution, examine The motives of these sons of mammon ; We soon shall discover that "gammon" Protrudes from their every eye ; Their fancy bombastic orations, To "street arabs" and their relations, Are not for the good of the nation, But to show that their knowledge runs high ght torg-gtiltr. MABEL CLIFTON'S REWARD. Mabel Clifton sat befora one of the win dows of her father's magnificent mansion, and a servant stood in waiting. She was making out a list of the articles wanted for next day. Coming footsteps arrested her attention. The crimson flush deepened on her bright young face as "Oh !" in a tone of deep regret, escaped her lips. She turned around fur an instant of thought and said: "John, I am not just ready to fin iSfi this list, and shall not send it for an hour yet. If you have anything to attend to in the meantime you can do it." Mr. Clifton had been reading in a dis tant part of the room. Hearing the door close after Juhn's de parture, be said : _ "You have not forgotten to send for those wines I spoke of, my dear ?" "He has not gone yet, papa." ' Ah, well, do not make it too late. They will be very busy to-night," her father said. "Papa. ,, "Well ?" "A boon, papa. Promise to grant me, this last day of the year, my boon !" "What is it, my love ?" "Promise to grant it first." "Not in ignorance, my child." "Trust me, father." She had an eager, earnest, noble look in her eyes that her father did trust in, and he promised her. "Well, you shall have your own way." "Father, let ns abstain from using any wine to-morrow!" "What I No, ao; I cannot grant you that. No wines ! Why, child, have you gone crazy ! For twenty five years past I have offered my friends wine on New Year's day, and never have felt that I was doing wrong. What has come over you I" "Ob, fathe., I have never felt just right when offering men wine, and just now, when I was making out the order for John, I chanced to raise my eyes just as Edgar Livingstone was passing. It needed but a glance to see he was much under the in fluence of liquor. His mother is a widow; he her only child; all her earthly hopes are in him. Will they not be wrecked, think you, if he indulges in the wine cup? To-morrow he will make many calls. Beau tiful women will offer him wine. He will not have courage, or possibly wish, to de cline, To-morrow night, most likely, then, he will return home to fill his mother's heart with sorrow. I don't wish to eon tribute one drop to the bitter cup." "My dear, whether we have wines or not, with him it will be all the same. As you say, he will make many calls." "Father, if you bad a son you would talk differently. Think how many young men of the brightest future have failed ; nay, worse, won disgrace and early graves from the love of wine. I feel as if Edgar Livingstone stood on the brink of a fear ful precipice. Father, do stretch out your strong arm to draw him—if only step by step. If we do not save him it will be a comfort to think that we urged him not forward on his fatal course." "Why, Mabel, you are very much in terested in the young man. Am Ito con clude-" "Nothing more than for his own and his mother's sake. I would endeavor to save him, or any othei young man in his danger, father. Here will be one of his first calls. Possibly I can detain him long enough to prevent him from visiting many places where he would be exposed to great temptation. Oh, father, please grant me this ?" "Really, dear, I feel disposed to grant this wish, but so-many will be disappointed. Besides, I have not the courage to make this great change and set the neighbors to work speculating about the cause of it. Some will declare I am about to fail; oth ers that I have grown penurious. Ah. John, what, is it ?" Just then the servant entered and handed him an envelope, and said: "A telegram, sir." Mr. Clifton quickly tore it open, read it, and exclaimed: "Really, this is too bad, but I must go. John, here—" And hastily writing a few words for a return dispatch, he handed it to the ser vant, and turning to Mabel, said : "My old friend Hartwell is dying and begs that I will hasten to him ; I cannot deny him. So you will have to entertain my friends to-morrow, and explain to them the reason of my failing to see them, the first time for so many years." "And—well, dear, you can do as you choose about the bill of fare. As I shall not be at home the folks will not hold me responsible for what happens in my ab sence." "Oh, thank you, papa, for permission to do as I choose. I will willingly take all unkind remarks if any one feels like ma king them. But lam confident that all who have sons will give me their kindest wishes for withholding temptation from their boys. And to the young men I shall try to make myself agreeable, and have our cook make the coffee so very fine that they will go away quite as well pleased and with their brains a good deal clearer HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1874. than if I had entertained them with wine." An hour after this Mr. Clifton was no his way to the side of his dying friend, and Mabel sat down and wrote : December 31, 18 , DEAR FLORA :—Come and help me receive my friends to-morrow. Papa has been called away, and I must have you with me, as I am particularly anxious to have my reception a success. Lovingly, "Edgar likes Flora, I can plainly see, and I think she is not wholly indifferent to him. Together I think we can manage to hold him here to-morrow, and thus save his mother a great sorrow, likely," said Mabel. Mabel Clifton was one of the loveliest girls in P-. Friends had wondered that her heart had not. yielded to some of her many suitors. They did not know that she had no heart to yield to any of those who had sought it. The first season she appeared in the se lect circle in which her father's great weakh and position placed her, she met Ernest Addison. He was a noble-looking young man, tal ented, with a heart and mind alike filled with true resolve. To Mabel he had been very attentive, and she grew to love him, feeling sure that the time was not far dis, tant when he would tell her of his love. But months rolled by and he spoke not. Gradually his visits grew less frequent, until finally they ceased. What. it was that had come between his love and hers she could not think, but she felt perfectly sure that he did love her. and so, hoping that time would solve the mystery and bring a balm to her wounded spirit, she watched and waited for his coming. New Year's day came, bright and beau tiful. Mabel and her friend Flora never looked lovelier. Mabel explained her wishes and fully infused her own spirit into her friend. It was impossible for an indifferent per son not to feel their powers of fascination. To Edgar Livingstone, who was one of their first guests, they were quite irre sistible. He lingered on, notwithstanding the efforts of a young friend who accom panied him to draw him away. "Do stay and help us," said Mabel, and when Flora's beautiful eyes repeated the wish, Edgar yielled. Few, if any. went from the Clifton house dissatisfied. Everything that the heart could desire or mind suggest, in the way of delicacies and luxuries of the season, Mabel offered her guests, but as her father said, many tongues were busy speculating upon it, and in a few hours it was widely known that Miss Clifton was giving a temperance reception. Eagerly Mabel's eyes sought the door on every new arrival of guests. She had hoped for the coming of one. But the hours passed, and when it grew late in the day the hope faded and almost died out. She had seated herself wearily in an arm chair, when the same greeting that bad fallen on her car so many times that day, "Happy New Year, Miss Clifton," caused the bright light to return to her eyes and the beautiful flush to her face, as she arose to receive Ernest Addison. There was an expression in his fine eyes when he received from her ;land the fra grant cup of coffee that relieved the sus pense cf years. Her heart bounded with new hope. _ _ _ Edgar Livingstone had drawn Flora to the window. They were looking out on the passers-by. Reeling along the side-walk, shouting a drunken song, came Edgar's companion of the morning. Flora turned from the sickening eight. Edgar followed, saying "But for you and Miss Clifton, I might have been (me of that party." And going to Mabel, he said : "Miss Clifton, your slumber tonight should be peaceful. You haven't helped to cloud either brain or heart of any of your friends today. Accept my warmest thanks for having saved me from both." Edgar saw an expression in Ernest's eyes that made him think it would be quite as agreeable to all parties if lie would take Flora back to the recess window, to tin piano, or anywhere out of hearing, just then. _ _ A few moments after his fine voice was blending with hers in a well-chosen duet. Then Ernest told Mabel of the love which had been hers since he knew her. "I came one night to lay my heart be fore you, You bad many guests and of fered them wine. You noticed not that I placed my glass untouched. I left early. I dare not woo the heart of ono who had such a fearful temptation before me; why, you will know when I tell'you the terrible truth, My only brother went down into a drunkard's grave, the woman he, loved urginghitn on," _ _ "For a time mother and I won him from his fatal passion. Ile was doing well. We believed he would fulfill the bright promise of his early youth. Ile grew to love a beautiful girl. She was wild and thoughtless, and once, at a party at her father's, she urged him to drink. "One glass; every one but you takes wine," she said. He resisted. She taunted him about having to abstain entirely because he'd not the self-control to use wine in modera tion. He yielded, uceeptel the fatal glass from her hand, and drank, first moderately, then on and on, in the old fearful way, until the end came—a ruined life and a mother's broken heart. "Do you wonder that I fled from you Every hour yearning to return, yet daring not. "To-day I heard what you were doing. Earnestly thanking God that light had dawned upon you, I hastened here to lay my heart before the only woman I ever loved. Will you be my wife, Mabel ?" Her heart was too full of joy—she could not tell him in words how happy she was; but her little hand lay still in his. She raised her eyes a moment and he saw the love of years beaming there. He needed no answer. Judging from the low tones into which the voices in the room had fallen, I judge some other hearts must have found their mates. But the parties were separated, or rather joined again, by the return of Mr. Clifton, who entered, calling out : "Mabel, dear, to me these rooms look rather dark. Let us have the gas turned on, if you please." "Certainly, papa." And when there was light enough for Mr. Clifton to look into his daughter's eyes, he saw a bright light shining there. Another moment, when Flora came to greet him he said with a pleasant smile: "Ah I see why you young folks know nothing of the surrounding darkness— guided by the light within. Well, have you had a pleasant day ?" "A happy day, father ; there are no re- grets to steal in and mark ii," Mabel said, with a bright smile. "I am glad of it—glad of your resolve, Mabel." "How glad, you will know when I tell you that this morning I closed the eyes of a father whose only son was away in some drinking saloon. How my heart ached for that father ! And what a balm it was to think that at that time my daughter was not holding the fatal glass to any young man's lips," said Mr. Clifton, his voice trembling. Before another New Year's Day, Mabel and Flora each presided over an establish ment of her own. MABEL. The happy remembrance of their recep tion is never clouded by the thought that they have added to the cup of bitterness which so many wives, mothers and sisters have to drink—the cup of sorrow which is so often prepared for them by sister wo n . Epaillingtor the Ice Water. One of the most fruitful causes of dys pepsia—our national disease—is, unques tionably, traceable to the excessive drink ing of ice water. We use far more ice in this country than is used in all the world beside. While we are inclined to boast of this as a luxury, we fbrget that, like many other luxuries, it does a deal of harm. The temperature of the stomach at which di gestion takes place, is from 98 to 100 de grees (Fahrenheit) Consequently, the effect of swallowing ice water, which must for a while reduce the temperature from 30 degrees to 40 degrees at least, cannot fail to be hurtful, and if habitually indul ged in, to insure the disorder so widely prevalent and so distressing in character. In cities and large towcs we are perpetu ally drinking ice water in winter as well as summer. We drink it before our meals, after our meals, on going to bed and on getting up. In fact, there is no hour when we are awake that we do not drink it. If you ring the bell at any American ho tel, the servant who answers it brings you a pitcher of ice water, supposing that you want that anyhow, and that you must swallow a certain quantity before you are prepared to make your other wishes known. If you go to breakfast on a bitter cold morning, the first thing the waiter places before you is a goblet of ice water ; and the chief energy he displays is in keeping the goblet full to the brim. Although be may not get you anything you order, you can depend on him for a bounteous supply of the freezing liquid. Immoderate drinking of any kind is al most entirely due to habit. This is par ticularly true of ice water, which by spon taneous reaction, has the effect of exci ting, rather than allaying thirst. The more we take of it, the more we want. The man who begins with a pint a day. will, before a great while, crave half a gallon, and im agine that he cannot do with less. — Meanwhile, his food will have no chance to digest, and temporary indigestion will, in due time, become chronic. his derang ed stomach will affect his head, and the indulgence of a foolish habit finally result in unhealthy action of the brain, and pos. sibly disturbance of his mental and moral faculties. The objection is not to water in any reasonable quantities, but to the ice that is put into it. Water that is allowed to run for a while through pipes, or drawn from a well, is as cool, even in summer, as is consistent with perfect health. After drinking it for a time the palate will not ask for ice. It is advisable to vary water with cold tea, coffee, milk or lemonade, since the interchange of these has a ten dency to diminish the amount of liquid wanted ; and health generally is better preserved by little than by large drinking of any kind. Anecdote of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was once applied to for pro fessional asntance by a man in New lork city, who held the guardianship of several orphan children. These children, then very young, would on coming of age, if they had their rights, succeed to the pos• session of a large and valuable estate. In the title deeds of this estate, the guardian bad discovered material defects, and he thought he saw a way, with the assistance of un able lawyer, by which he could se• cure the title of the whole property tohim self. He opened to Hamilton the whole deeds, and exhibited copies of the title deeds, and explaining how he would like to proceed. And he promised to the great jurist a large reward iflie would under- take the business. Hamilton said he must give to a malter so important due thought before he decided, and set a time for his client to call again. The guardian called again according to appointment. Ilatnil• ton had put in writing faithful minutes of, their former conversation, which upon his second visit, he read aloud. "I think," said Hamilton, when he had finished reading, "that that is a true state went of your plans ?" "Yes, sir," answered the client. "That is correct. And now if I may ask, what have you decided ?" "I will tell you, sir," replied Hamilton, sternly ; "you are now completely in my power, and I consider myself' as the future guardian of these unfortunate orphans. I have decided that you will settle with them honorably, to the very last penny, or I will hunt you from the surface of the earth !" It may be unnecessary to add that the false hearted guardian did not pursue his nefarious scheme any further. in Proportion. The whole human figure should • be six times the length of the feet. Whether the form be slender or plump ; the rule holds good ; any deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty of proportion.— The Greeks made all their statutes accord. ing to this rule. The face,,from the high est point of the forehead where the hair begins, to the chi; is one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from the wrist to the middle figure, is the same. From the top of the chest to the highest point of the forehead is the seventh. If the face, from the roots of the hair to the chin, be divided into three equal parts, the first division determines the place where the eyebrows meet, and the second the place of the nostrils. Height from the feet to the top of the head is the distance from the extremity of the fingers where the arms are extended. One of the female clerks in the Treas ury Department at Washington, recently administered a horsewhipping to a lady whom the Treasury heroine accused of cir culating malicious reports about her. Gettysburg. The Field of Battle as it Looks To dory— Peace and Beauty Shininy. From a spirited Gettysburg letter print ed in the Inter-Ocean, we quote these para graphs : Standing on Cemetery Hill, facing the whole sweep of the country before us isthe battle field. A portion of it belonged to Thaddeus Stevens. Down in front of the left, is McPherson's barn, from behind which was fired the first Union shot in the battle. Its owner, Edward McPherson, is the veteran Clerk of the house of Repre sentatives. Close by is the wood in which Reynolds fell. In the citizen's cemetery, directly south of where we stand, General 0. 0. Howard's corps, the Eleventh, lay. Some of the copings and monuments were shattered, the mounds were trodden fist, and more destruction would have occurred had not Howard ordered the headstones to be laid by the graves. In onder little white house, towards the Emmettsburg road, Meade, comman der of the Union forcer, fixed his head-. quarters. Lee had none ;he tented on the field among his troops. On the right, on the slope leading to Culp's Hill, the Eighth Louisiana fought, driving and driven, a regiment composed of toe New Orleans roughs, uniformed in blue and yellow eon ave dress, and known, less for their striped costume than their uncontrollable ferocity, as the "Louisiana Tigers." The woods that cover this slope were literally destroy ed by tl.e shot. Stalwart oaks were shot through and fell, others stand lifeless and perforated with holes, and every storm lays some of them low. Toward the left, on the Emmettsburg road, is the famous peach orchard where so much fighting was done. The original trees, then saplings. are dead since, hut the demand for peaches grown on the ground is so great that others have been planted, and hundreds of cans are sent away every season. On the opposite side of the road a new barn stands on the site of the old one, which was fired by rebel shells, when filled with their wounded, who all perished there. Behind the peach orchard is another barn, in whose shadow Gen. Sickles' leg was shot off, and oppo site that point, on the other side of the road, the rebel Gen. Barksdale received his mortal wound. Near there, too, is the wheat field that, like the peach orchard. was the theatre of terrible carnage. On the morning of the second day it stood tall and golden, waiting for the mower's hand. By night it was a morass of human flesh and blood. On the ridge to the east, and only a dozen rods from us, the only hand-to-hand fight of the battle occurred. It was towards night of the second day. Some regiments of Ames' division had been driven in from their positions in the lower field and made a stand here. The rebels followed them so swiftly and closely that in an instant al most from the first alarm the two patsies were face to face. It was one of the most terrible scenes of the battle. The men fought with hammers, shovels, pistols, ram rods, stones, clubs, even their hands. They were like fiends, not men. but they held their ground The very grandest sight of those awful three days was an attack made and repulsed on the afternoon of the third. Gradually retiring from its original posi tion, the Union line of battle hid formed along the stone wall stretching at our feet from Culp's Hill, on the right stretched out as evenly as the ground would permit, to the summit of Round Top on the let. Encouraged by his success, and cognizant that some decisive movement was impera tive. Lee ordered a general artillery attack' on the Union lines, to be supplemented by a grand infantry attack that would break and hopelessly route them. From one P. M., to three probably the greatest artillery duel ever witnessed in the world raged over the Gettysburg mead ows. Cannon to cannon the thunder tom:r ed forth uninterruptedly, shaking the earth and darkening the burning summer sun. Then there was silence. And while the powder-stained gunners stow] by their grins waiting to see what neat would come. a line of battle headed by Longstreet emerg ed from the grove below and faced towards them. A second and still a third came— solid, unbroken, majestic—moving like a tidal wave. Then the i'nion artillery opened on them the most terrible storm of shot and shell that ever men walked through, but an wavering, unfaltering, trampling over the dying and the (lead, they came swiftly, steadily, grandly. Every Northern sol dier held his breath ; each felt that the supreme moment of those dreary years of hardship and defeat had tome. 4 ilent, crouched behind walls, sheltered h 7 trees, with their finge:a on the trigger., of their muskets, they waited with machinelike obedience fur the word of command. Just as the last gray line cleared the wood?, and the foremost had mooed the road that separated the two armies, it came, and every Union man sprang to his peti tion, held it, fought on it, and the repulse Was conirlete ! That virtually envied the battle. Nor that alone—it was the turning point of the war. There was never another such charge made by the rebels as that which Longstreet headed that day. About one hundred and eight thousand men were engaged altogether, and the forces were pretty evenly balanced. Lee and Meade were the respective comman ders. The First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh and Twelfth Cerro of the Union army, and the First, Second and Third of the Confederate were engaged. these being five or six times as large as our corps. Longstreet, Early, and Ewell commanded them respectively. Early was rough and boisterous. Ewell, a delicate, stern-looking, courteous man. Rho, from the loss of one leg, was obliged to be strap ped upon his horse. A negro attendant, who always rode by him carried his entiti es. Gordon, who is now in the Senate, fought here under Early's command. Al though the rebels levied a contribution, and that being refused, helped themselves to the stores they wanted, they used so discourtesy to the inhabitants, and paid for all they took in Confederate money. Such is the battle-field of Gettysburg to day. Batchelder, who has already don.: so much to preserve its memories, will one day be its historian. Looking at the pease and beauty that shines in the air and lie ou the face of this memorable earth, war seems a myth and carnage a dream. There is noth ing, to mark it, except perhaps. that where tradition tells us blood flowed freest and death was thickest, the grass grows SOTO green and taller waves the grain.
