THE LAKESIDE LIBRARY,
Is published semi-monthly, and each issue con
tains a COMPLETE NOVEL, by one of the great
authors of the world, as Charles Ronde, Dickens,
Scott, Anthony Trollope, Jules Verne, etc., etc.—
The completion of long and important novels in a
single issue, is the most unique-and 'valuable fea
ture yet introduced into the periodical literature
of tho day, and is peculiar to The Lakeside Li
brary.
Each issue of THE LIBRARY contains a COM
PLETE NOVEL, that would cost at the book
stores, on the average, $1.50 each; yet the price of
of the same in THE LIBRARY is only 10 cents
if you buy a single copy from yaur newsdealer, or
only 9 cents if you subscribe for a year. The
whole series of 24 numbers will contain TWENTY
TWO COMPLETE NOVELS, worth about $40.00,
but costs only $2.15 in THE LIBRARY.
Occasionally we shall issue DOUBLE NUM
BERS, to contain unusually long and important
works, as "The Law and The Lady," by Wilkie
Collins, and "Twenty Thousand Leagues under
the Seas," by Jules Verne. When this is neces
sary, both numbers of the story will be ISSUED
TOGETHER, so that the complete work will be
in tho reader's hands at once. In such cases
THREE numbers of THE LIBRARY will be issued
in one month.
"....4e• Hence all Subscriptions arc received for

Our next issue, Nos. 14 and 15, will be a splen
did DOUBLE NUMBER, complete and unabridged,
with EIGHT characteristic illustrations, contain
ing the famous
"Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas,"
By JULES VERNE.
This wonderful book is descriptive of a voyage
of 20 000 leagues UNDER the surface of TILE
SEA ! No one acquainted with Verne's peculiar
and dramatic style need be told that this (his
greatest book) is most intensely interesting. •It
lays bare the mysteries of the mighty deep—its
sunken wrecks ; submarine forests ; the grotesque,
hideous and awful creatures who dwell therein;
the beautiful coral caves; its treasures of gold,
silver and jewels lost in Spanish ships of olden
days. Yet so quaintly, and with such an air of
candor, is the story told, that you can hardly
believe that you arc not reading a transcript from
a ship's log book. Sent by mail, by the publish—
ers, post-paid Lor 25 cents.
There is only one other edition published,
which costs $4.00.
Subscribe now, and get all the back numbers,

$2.15, including pro-payment of postage—or about
the price of one single book in ordinary book form.

Thousand Leagues under the Seas," costs as a

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1875.
De ptiOo' MOM.
One Year Ago.
What stars have faded from the sky
What hopes unfolded but to die!
What dreams so fondly pondered o'er,
Forever lost the hues they wore !
How like a death knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul "one year ago ;
Where is the face we loved to greet
The form that graced the fireside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life-path day by day ?
Where fled those accents, soft and low.
That thrilled our hearts "one year ago ?
Ah, vacant is the fireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there ;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of that voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
flow much we lost "one year ago."
Beside his grave, the marble white,
Keeps silent watch by day and night!
Serene he sleeps, nor heeds the tread
Of footsteps o'er his lowly bed ;
His pulseless breast no more may know
The pangs of life "one year ago I"
But why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken sighs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Will follow where his steps have fled,
To that far world rejoicing go
To where be passed "one year ago l"

The Judge's Adventure.
A STORY OF EARLY TIMES
Judge Crane, of New York, was a very
eccentric man. He was very wealthy, and
was highly respected for his public and
private virtues, but he always dressed in a
plain garb, and would hardly ever wear an
overcoat, whatever might bo the state of
the weather.
On the morning of the day in which the
court was to begin, the judge set out be
fore daylight, and walked gently on,
through the hail, rain and snow, to - the
appointed place. On arriving at Pough
keepsie, cold and wet, he walked to the
tavern, where he found the landlady, and
her servants were making great prepara
tions for the grand entertainment of the
judges, lawyers, etc.
The judge was determined to have some,
sport and in a pleasant tone addressed the
landlady.
"I have no money, and was obliged to
come to court, and I have walked through
this dreadful storm more than twenty
miles, I am wet and cold, dry and hungry.
I want something to eat before the court
begins."
The landlady put herself in a very mag
isterial posture, and put on a countenance
of contempt.
"Very well." said she, "I will give you
some cold victuals, if you will go into the
back yard and cut and split three arms
full of wood and bring it into the kitchen
where the servants want to make a good
fire to dry the gentlemen's great coats
when they come; and after you get your
victuals I want you to go away."
After some trouble the judge secured a
cold bite, and then the landlady told him
to be off, as she needed the fire to dry the
gentlemen's coats and umbrellas by.—
"And among the rest," she said, "we ex
pect Judge Crane."
"Judge Crane," said the Judge, "who
is Judge Crane ?"
"The circuit Juke," said she; "one of
the supreme judges, you old fool."
"Well," said the judge, "I bet a goose
that Judge Crane has not had, and will
not have, a great coat on his back, or an
umbrella over his head this day."
"You old goose," said she, "I care noth
ing for your bets. Eat and then, be off, I
tell you; Judge Crane is to be here, and
we've no room for you."
"I don't care said he," one rye straw
more for Judge Crane than I do for my
self, and it is got to be so late that if he
has to come at this time of day, he would
be more likely to go direct to the court
house, and stay until dinner-time, than to
go to any tavern, and if business was very
urgent, he would be likely to stay away
even from dinner. I know something
about the old codger, and some people say
he is a rusty, crusty, fusty old fudge."
"Pretty talk, indeed," said the land
lady, about the supreme judge."
"I tell you," said the judge, "Judge
Crane is not the supreme judge, and even
if he were he is no more fit to be a judge
than I am."
"Well, now, be off with yourself," said
When the judge withdrew, the landlady
anxiously looked after him for some time,
as he walked steadily on toward the court
house, supposing him to be some poor man
summoned up to court as a witness, or
some culprit, or some vagabond who might
give her further trouble in time of Court,
and expressed to her servants a desire that
they would see that he did not disturb the
gentlemen and the judges who might put
up there ; while some of the girls declared
if he did come, they would use some of
his own expressions, which he used re
specting Judge Crane. "Let me see"
says one, "rusty, crusty"—"yes, and fusty
old fudge," says another.
When the dinner was announced, the
court, not being thronged, was immediately
adjourned, and the day being stormy and
cold, the judges and lawyers poured into
the sheriff's tavern, and they were sure of
good fare, all except Judge Crane, who
walked to a store and purchased a valuable
shawl, and put it into his pocket on the
inside of his coat ; then he walked quietly
to the tavern. While he was thus de•
tained, the landlady entered the dining
room, and earnestly inquired if Judge
_Crane bad come in. The answer was:
"Not yet, madam, and perhaps he may not
come."
The landlady, who was anxious to pay
the highest respect to the supreme judge,
retired to the kitchen not a little cha
grined and disappointed. In the mean
time the judge had arrived, and being at
proper times very sociable, and at times
fond of cheering the minds of those pres
ent, he began to make some pertinent re
marks, and to tell some lively anecdotes,
calculated to convey good morals, which
kept the whole company in a continued
roar of laughter. At this instant one of
the waiting girls entered the room to in
form the gentlemen that they might sit
down to dinner. She did her errand, and
hastened back to her mistress with the
tidings that the old fusty fellow with the
broad-brimmed bat on was right in among
the gentlemen, talking as loud as he could,
and all the judges and lawyers were laugh
ing at him.
"Then go," says she, "and whisper to
the old man that I wish him to come down
into the kitchen."
The errand was done accordingly, and
the judge, in a low tone of voice said to
the girl :
"Tell your mistress that I have a little
business to do with some of then. lawyers,
and when done be off in the contse of
two or three days."
The girl returned a n d 111411:1111y re
hearsed the message, and added that she
believed the old fellow was drunk, or he
would not have "as soon t& my busi
ness is done. 11l Ic off in two or three
days."
Well, Betty," said the mistress, "go
back, and when the gentlemen begin to
sit down, do you stand by tho head of the
table, and whisper to some gentleman that
I wish a vacant place left at the head of
the table for Judge Crane, and then do
you hasten back."
Betty again repaired to her post at the.
head of the table, and softly informed a
gentleman of the request of her mistress.
"Certainly," said the gentleman.
Betty now hastened back to assist John.
The gentlemen now sat down to an excel
lent repast, and after a short ejaculatory
address to the thrcne of grace, delivered
by Judge Crane, in which he adored the
Father of all mercies for feeding all his
creatures throughout the immensity of
space, invoked a blessing on that portion
of earthly bounty then before them, and
supplicated Divine mercy through the
merits of our Redeemer, the gentlemen
began to carve and serve round in usual
form.
But as the judge was of a singular turn
in almost everything, and had taken a
fancy that if a person eats light food at
the same meal, and that which is more
solid and harder of digestion, the light
food should be eaten first ; he therefore
filled his plate with some pudding, made
of milk, rice and eggs, and placing him
self in rather au awkward situation, with
his left elbow on the table, and his head
near the plate, began to cat according to
his custom, which was very fast, although
he was no great eater. And some of the
gentlemen near the judge, following his
example as to partaking bhe pudding be
fore the meat, of course a largo, deep ves
sel, which had contained that article, was
nearly emptied when Mary approached
with her two additional tureens of gravy,
according to the command of her mistress,
and as she sat down the last near the
judge he said to her in an austere manner :
. "Girl, bring me a clean plate to cat
salad on."
The abrupt manner in which he ad
dressed her, and her disgust iu seeing him
there in that position, so disconcerted the
poor girl that she did not observe that any
one except the judge had partaken of the
pudding, nor didi she know what he meant
by salad, but she observed that the large
pudding pan was nearly empty, and hast
ened back with the utmost speed to her
mistress.
"Why, madam, that old fellow is there
yet, and he is certainly crazy or drunk,
flu. he is down at the table, and has eaten
all the rice pudding already, and his nose
is right down in a plateful now, shoveling
it in like a hog, and he told me, us if he
was lord of the manor, to bring a clean
plate to cat salad on. Bless me where
can we get salad at this time of the year ?
An.: the gentlemen have not done carv
ing, and not one has begun to eat meat,
much less a tubful of pudding."
"Aye, he'll get a clean plate," says
Martha, "before gentlemen want clean
plates."
"I'll clean him out," says the mistress,
and starts for the dining room, burning
with indignation.
The judge was remarkable for not giv
ing unnecessary trouble to anybody where
he put up, and generally ate what was set
before him without any remarks; and sel
dom made use of more than one plate at a
meal ; but at this time he had observed
near him a dish of beautiful raw white cab
bage, cut up and put in vinegar, (which the
Germans at Poughkeepsie call "cold slaw,"
and which he called salad,) and he wished
for a separate plate to prepare some of it
for MI own fancy. The carving and serv
ing were not finished, when he expected
the clean plate, and when the landlady ar
rived at the door of the dining-room, de-
termined to drive him ont, she advanced
with a firm step to the door, and fixed her
keen eye firmly on the judge, when he
turned his eye that way, and observed her
mildly said :
"Landlady, can I have a clean plate to
eat some salad on ?"
"A clean plate and salad I" retorted the
landlady indignantly. "I wish you would
come into the kitchen until the gentlemen
have dined ; I had reserved that seat for
Judge Crane."
The company were struck with aston
ishment ; and fixed their eyes alternately
on the landlady and on the judge, and sat
or stood in mute suspense, when the judge
gracefully raised himself up in the chair,
carelessly folded his arms across his breast,
and then, putting his head awkwardly on
one side, said :
"You reserved this seat for Judge Crane,
did you, landlady ?"
"Indeed I did," said she.
"It was very kind," said he, in an ironi
cal tone, "but if you will step to the door
and see if he is coming, or send one of the
servants to call him, with your permission
and the approbation of these gentlemen,
with whom I have some business to do, I
will occupy this seat until you shall find
the judge.'
"Find the judge !" said she with em
phasis; "go look for him yourself, not send
me or my servants. I gave you your
breakfast this morning for chopping a
little wood, because you had no money ;
and I expected you would go away quietly
and keep away, and now you must come
here to disturb gentlemen at dinner."
Here the whole joke burst upon the
minds of the gentlemen present, who
fell into a loud fit of laughter. After the
tumult had a little subsided the judge said
mildly :
"Did I chop wood to pay for my break
fast ?"
"Indeed you did," said she, "and said
you had no•money."
"I told you the truth," said the judge,
"but I have a beautiful shawl, worth about
ten dollars, which I just now bought, and
will leave it with you in pawn, if you will
only let me eat dinner with these gentle.
wen."
Here the gentlemen were biting their
lips to keep from laughter.
"flow did you buy th© shawl worth more
than ten dollars, without any money ?"
"I bought it on credit," said he.
"And where did you find credit to that
amount," said she.
"I brought it from home," said he.
"That's a likely story, and something
like your abuse of Judge Crane, this morn
ing," said she.
"how could I abuse the judge if he was
not present," said he.
"Why," said she, "you called him a
rusty, fusty fudge, and an old codger, and
said you did not care a rye straw more for
him than you did for yourself."
And her, the whole company were in
an uproar of laughter Rut 3.4 goon
as it had a little sa!Hiled, one of the ;en
demon asked the landlady how she knew
that the gentleman ,:he er:is addressing was
not Judge Crane ? °•tie looks more like a
snipe than a crane !" said she.
Here the loud laughter burst ffirth a
third time. And after a little pans,• the
judge said :
'I must confess that I an, n:pt 3 bird of
very fine feather-. hut I 1 , I that
I am a Crane, and a craria i= often a very
useful instrument. i saw a very trt..l one
in your kitchen this ; and ekun.•
times an instrument called a crane' is of
incalculable madam."
Before she lia , l time. tf, ~.anc of
the gentlemen with whom Ale w.is
ed assurei her that she was i4:kiori, with
the president judge. Astonished an.l con
founded, she attempted some .-ze u s e , and
excuse, and hasiiiy asked his rrird. , ri fir
her rudeness.
The judge had by this time. unobservot
taken from his pocket the beautiful shawl
and fielded it at full lenztli one way and
in a narrow form the other way and it be
ing of very fine texture, appeared more
like an elegant sash than like a valuable
shawl. Then he amp:: with graceful dig
nity, and with a half smile he advanced a
few steps toward the landlady. Paying : "It
is not my province to pardon but to judge,
and I judge that you and I shall hereafter
be friends—and I judge, that you will,
without hesitation, receive this as a pres
ent, if not as a pawn." So Paying he
gently laid it over her shoulders. and
across her arms saying :
"Take it, madam, and du ant attempt to
return it, fur it was purchased on purpose
for a present to you."
She hastily retired in coafusion hardly
knowing what she did, and took with her
the shawl worth twelve dollars instil of
ten.
And here are three parties who had
each two good things. The landlady had
a good shawl and a good lesson to meditate
upon—the gentlenien had e good dinner
and a good joke to talk over—a:l , l
judge had good intentions in the joke. and
a good will and ability to follow up th e
lesson given.

NEW YoRK, September S. 1575.
It ENT4.
The position of New York on the cur
rency question is generous, to say the least.
fur there is no city in this country th,:t is
so smitten with hard times, or that is suf
fering so terribly therefrom. In nothing
is this more manifest than i.i matter
of rents. A store on Broadway that, three
years ago, would command $12,000 per
annum, and be sought for at that, can now
be had fur Sll,OOO, and the owner thinks
himself or herself, as the case may be, very
lucky to get that. There are thousalds of
stores in the city empty, and holding up
rents is simply impossible.
And the same is true of dwellings. In
Brooklyn there are six thousand dwellinp
empty, and how many thousands in New
York cannot be computed.
The effect of this upon the retired
classes who have been, and still desire to
live upon their accumulations, is fearful.
Madam Blank, we will say, has a husband
who made his million, invested it in real
estate, and retired from business, happy in
the consciousness of a certain income of,
we will say, $70,000 per annum, which, as
as it was all in Broadway stores and eligi
ble dwellings, could not be lessened or di
minished. Madam, her daughters, and her
sons all got a fixed habit of living at the
rate of $70,000 per year. She had ear
riagcs and jewels and dresses as her pro
portion of that sum, and Maria, Jane, Ara
bella, Tom, Alexis, and Ulysses have al
ways had their expenditures pitched to
the same key. Now imagine the agony of
these seven people when the head of the
family announces that rents have so gone
down that expenditures must be cut down
a half—that such a carriage must be gig•
en up—that such and such servants must
be dismissed, and that pocket and pin mon
ey must be reduced. Madam groans, the
girls pout and wonder, and the young gen
tlemen swear great oaths. But they have
to come down all the same, for the money
is not.
The effect of the hard times upon the
various classes is something peculi Ir. The
spruce young man who was wont to buy
his clothes at the fashionable establish•
ments on Broadway, at a cost of 3125 to
$2OO a suit, is Derfectly willing to slide
around into the Bowery and get the same
things fur $6O. True, he says he gets
them on Broadway all the same, hut oc
casionally two of them meet in a cheap
shop, and the cat gets out of the bag.
Ma'am on the avenue is seen in flowery
shops, and Sixth avenue is getting to be
good enough to trade in, particularly as
goods average about thirty per cent. less
than on Broadway.
The consumption of liquors at the clubs
has largely decreased, particularly of fine
liquors. The swell who once prided him
self upon fifty-cent brandy, is now willing
enough to inspire his shrinking soul with
ten-cent whisky, and the foaming lager at
fifteen cents the bottle very likely takes
the place of champagne at 84.50. Like
wise cigars at three for twenty five cents,
are found ti agree very well with there
who were wont to turn up their noses at
anything less than fifty cents. The hard
times are ripping into extravagance. and
in this regard good is being accomplished.
Let us hope that the lesson we are now
learning may stay with us.
FRUITS
One of the phenomena of New lork
just now is the abundance and cheapness
of fruit. P,:aehes are a positive drug in
the market. They are arriving by the
hundred cars each day, the supply being
very far beyond the power of the people to
consume. More peaches are carted off
spoiled each day than are sold ; and the
supply does not diminish, but is rAther on
the increase. From Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Delaware, and Maryland the luscious fruit
comes pouring in endless, never failing
streams, and the people revel in it.
There are so many thousands of bushels
arriving. daily more than are required.
that it seems a pity that *Mlle of them
could not be taken farther North, where
the people would be glad to get them
at any price. And as it is with peaches,
so it is with melons, and in fact, every
thing good to eat. The City is filled with
fruits and vegetables, at very low prices.
Consequently only the best is toed, and
the children of the poor arc happy and
