Bombast.
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.

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

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.
COLERIDGE, when lecturiog as a young
man, was violently hissed. He illlllll.
diately retorted : "When a cold grois of
truth is poured on red-hot prejudices, no
wonder they hiss."
