ITS MEDICAL PROPERTIES ARE ALTERATIVE, TONIC, SOLVENT VEGETINE is made exclusively front the juices of carefully-selected barks, roots and herbs, and so strong ly concentrated, that it will effectually eradicate from the system every taint of Scrofula, Scrofulous Hunter, Tu mors, Cancer, Cancerous Humor, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum., Syphiltic Diseases, Canc , r, Faintness at the Stomach, and all diseases that arise from impure blood. Sciatica, In flammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Gout and Spinal Complaints, can only be effectually cured through the blood. For Llcers and Eruptive Diseases of the Skin, Pustules, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, Teller, Scalethead and Ringworm, VEGETINE has never failed to effect a permanent cure. For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, Leacorrheea, arising from internal ul ceration, and uterine diseases and General Debility. VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes of these com plaints. It invigorates and strengthens the whole sys tem, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cures ulceration and regulates the bowels. For Catarrh, Dyspeys7a, Habitual Costiveness, Palpita- Hun of the Heart, Headache, Piles, Nervousness and Gen eral Prostration of the Nervous System, no medicine has ever given such perfect satisfaction as the VEGETINE.— It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and pos sesses a controlling power over the nervous system. The remarkable cures effected by VEGETINE have in duced many physicians and apothecaries whom we know to prescribe and use it in their own families. In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet discovered for the above diseases, and is the only reliable libooJ Puri fier yet placed before the public. 11. It. STEVENS, Boston, Mass. FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. H. R. STEVENS, Esq.: Dear Sir—May 1 ask the favor of you to make my case public ? In 1861, while on picket duty in the army, I was taken with a fit, which lasted all night. Was token into camp and dosed with whisky and quinine. After this bad 111, every day, and was taken to Newborn ' lospital, and there treated by the attending physicians. I grew worse and was sent home. Remained in poor health for four years, treating with many physicians and trying many reme dies, Filially Scrofula made its appearance on different parts of my body, and my head was so diseased as to be frightful to look at, and painful beyond endurance. After trying the most eniminent physicians, without improve ment, a change of climate was advised. Have been to the Hot Springs in Arkansas twice, each time giving their treatment a thorough trial. Finally came back to Boston, discouraged, with no hope of help. Life was a burden to one in my situation, My disease, and the effect of so much powerful medicine, had so dam aged my system that the action of my stomach was ap parently destroyed, and my head was covered with ul cers which had in places eaten into the skull bone. The beet physicians said my blood was so full of poison they could do no more for me. About this time a friend who had been an invalid told me VEGETINEhas restored Lim to perfect health, and throegh his persuasion I com menced taking VEGETINE. At this time I was having fits almost every day. I noticed the first good effects of VEGETINE in my degestive organs. My food sat batter, and my stomach grew stronger. I began to feel encour aged, for I could see my health slowly and gradually im proving. With renewed hope I continued taking the VEGETINE, until it had completely driven disuse out of my body. It cured the JIM, gave me good, pure blood, and restored me to perfect health, which I had not en joyed before for ten years. Hundreds of people in the City of Boston can vouch for the above facts. . . VEGETINE has saved my life, and you are at liberty to make such use of this statement as pleases you best, and I beg of you to make it known, that other sufferers may find relief with less trouble and expense than I did. It will afford me great pleasure to show the marks of my disease or give any further information relative to my case to all who desire it. I am, sir, very gratefully, JOHN PECK, No. 50 Sawyer St., Boston, Mass. VEGETINE IS SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS. April 14, 1876-It. J UNIATA. HOUSE, JULIANA STREET, BEDFORD, PENN'A.

I cannot summon words to tell You how much I hate it; If I could search the country o'er, From Atlantic to Pacific's shore, I could not find another bore, That would match or make it. In the morning at half-past fire, The wretched thing becomes alive And thunders forth its notes, In tones that wake us from our sleep, It matters not how sweet or deep— Worse than a flock of bleating sheep Or pack of squealing shotes. At 8:45, just when a body Feels most inclined to sic and study, The mean, detestable thing, Must begin to rattle and shake, Making the very building quake, And thus the morning sdence break, With its outrageous ring. At noon we're bore:l with it again— Just when the professor would explain rows most important point, You may be sure that hell will ring;— I've often wished that in its swing, Its tongue would tangle in the string, And be jerked out or joint. At /our, its sound is not,,so bad, And does not make.one quite so mad For reasons that are plain. That means grab and recreation, And a trip down to the station; But at Nero., oh, vexation ! It calls us buck again. But when it rings at half pant ni,e, My feelings I oan not define, Though short its horrid tune, Sure as I concentrate my thought Upon a subject as I ought Tiro clangor of that brazen pot Is urn to come too soon. But there it hangs, "high as Haman !" I wiA it were in Lacedmmon, Or somewhere farther south, Where its tongue would cease U. beat, And e10.,1y melt with fervent heat, Than would our rest he more complete, And hushed its horrid mouth. In ffiterg-Ztlitr. ONLY A FLIRTATION. EY HELEN LUQUEER, "Don't you think, Ben, that your wife is cutting it pretty strong r. • _ The brothers Ben and Robert Cameron were riding together in Central Park, and had just passed a very stylish landau con taining a rich aristocrat and the wife of the younger brother, who, in reply, said facetiously : "Perhaps; but you know, Bob, that when we married we agreed that she was to do as she pleased, and I as I chose." "All very well in theory, but not just the thing in practice, especially when a woman's will leads her into an outrageous flirtation with a man of principles—or rather want of them—of Royal La France." "It is quite the fashionable thing now adays, and harmless as can be." "Do you call it harmless to hale your wife's name handled about in connection with that of La France ? Let me tell you. thero, are people whose opinion you ought to regard, who are old fashioned enough to look upon such conduct as disgraceful, and upon the disregard of your duties as criminal. "There, Bob, that will do. I have re ceived my lecture and you have eased your mind. So, if you please, we will turn about. I have an engagement at six," and there was an angry flush upon the face of the speaker as they drove rap idly back to the city: Meanwhile the subject of their -conver sation was lying back amid the cushions of her carriage, in an elegant costume the admiration of the dark eyes of her gentle man escort, as he sat by her side, uttering many little compliments and sweet noth ings. "Have I an answer to my request, Mrs, Cameron ?" "Really, Mr. La France, you have so many, and are, withal, like your sex in general, so very exacting, that as soon as one prayer is granted another confronts one." "I should like you, my dear Mrs. Cam eron, to point out a single granted plea of mine." "What a memory !" answered Maud Cameron, elevating her pretty brows, and shrugging her shoulders, and sighing with a most bewitching pout. 'But here we are at home. Won't you come in and dine with me? Ben has an engagement, and it will be dull and stupid, of course, just us two." She looked innocence itself, though at heart she knew she was offering her com panion a most delightful opportunity to press his request, whatever it might be, and that Mrs. Grundy would not consider it just the proper thing foe her to do, this dining tete a-tote with an avowed admirer. "Very dull, of course!" returned the gentleman with a mock smile, as he as sisted her to alight, though the warm pres sure of his hand conveyed a very different meaning; "but my power of resistance is small to night, so I shall make of myself a martyr." And he followed his fair hostess up the steps of her stately residence. Later in the evening (after they had dined), Mrs. Cameron sat at the piano, singing for her guest one of her charming songs, while he stood by her side, turning the music. In one of her pauses he re minded her of his ungranted requests.— Looking up at him with her white and jeweled fingers sweeping carelessly aver the keys, she thought how handsome he was, and was conscious that she was madly loved by this wan—one gifted and courted by fastidious society—while he looked down into her lovely face and coveted her who belonged to another. "My husband would not consent, I am certain," she replied. "Possibly not. But then, you know, he boasts of the liberty each enjoys, and no doubt settles like questions for himself without consulting you. Why, then, have you not the same right?" "Have a care," laughed she. "You are giving dangerous advice. Confess, now, if you were my husband, would you like me to receive such counsel and act upon it ?" Bending over her until his breath fan ned her cheek, he said in a low and im passioned voice : "God forbid ! If you were my wife I would render it impossible for any one to approach you. lam a jealous wretch, and my life would be wholly yours, and I should claim every moment of your own." She said, still smiling up at him, while her fingers strayed into the simple but touching melody of "Annie Laurie." "Exactly. But since I shall never know such a paradise of love, am. I not to have a glimpse of it by escorting you to the French ball at the Academy to morrow night ?" "Will it make you very happy ?" sighed she. HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1876. "Will it ?" he repeated, while his dark eyes answered the question. "If I thought Ben would not care." "As if such a simple, good-natured, un appreciated creature would think of any body but himself, or even care if you at tended it with Pluto," sneered her com panion, "provided he has the same priv ilege of dancing with Prosperine ?" Then noting how her fair face flushed, he con• tinned quickly : "F rgive me, Mrs. Cam eron. I should not speak in that manner, but when with you I am profoundly ob livious of that husband of yours; for, though I know him to be a right good fel low he is unappreciative and all that." "I ought to punish you by a positive re fusal," poutelshe. _ _ _ "Yon could not be so cruel. It is not in your nature." ‘‘Having seen only the sunny side, you are not a proper judge of what I may be able to do." "I am positive there can be no dark side to your "character, and you will make me happy by saying yes to my plea." "You have set your heart upon it ?" she questioned coquettikhly. "You know I have, and-" "Enough, then, I will go, if you will promise to tell no one of it. I shall wear a simple blue domino, with mask, and you must bring me home early. We have ac cepted invitations to Mrs.. Dana's party; but at the last moment I shall have a headache, and so be obliged to let Ben go without me." "Capital !" exclaimed Mr. LA France. "On the knees of my heart I thank you," and he seized her hand as lie spoke,. and led her away from the piano to a cosy seat by the anthracite fire, where the pro gramme was arranged to their satisfaction. The next evening Mr. lien Cameron departed alone to fulfill their engagement, leaving his wife quite pale and languid, in a rose-colored wrapper, endeavoring to as• suage a terrible headache by a liberal ap plication of eau-de•cologuc. Later in the evening, properly dis guised, she was leaning upon the arm of a dashing cavalier amid a gay and some what promiscuous assembly. They had been waltzing, were heated, and sought a cool and more secluded place in the depths of the windows. "How hot it is ! I wish I might take off my mask for a moment. I am positively stifling," said the blue domino, fanning herself furiously. "•'l'hc effort makes you warmer," and he took the fan. "Now you may raise your mask. lam screening your face," and the next instant he was looking at her flushed cheeks. At that moment a couple passed very near, and the voice of the gentleman caused her to instantly drop the mask again with a smothered exclamation. "Your husband !" whispered La France. "Yes. Is it possible he has learned of my being here, and is searching for me ?" No. Ah !my dear Maud, youare just learning that husbands arrogate to them selves privileges they upon no account give to their wives !' It was the first time he had addressed her by her given name with the endear. ing prefix. It thrilled while it shocked her, and she had a dim perception that their flirtation was becoming a serious af. fair, and she was listening to the language no wife could with self-respect. Again the black domino, with a pretty flower-girl upon his arm, passed them, and so closely that she distinctly heard him saying: "No; at home with a sick head ache," and evidently he was alluding to her. "What cruel wretches you husbands are, and what a happy faculty you have of enjoying yourselves while your wives Ore ill at home !" returned the flower-girl. "•It is you who are so cruel, my dear. You fascinate us from our lawful alle giance," said the well.known voice. Again they passed on, and the heart of Maud beat almost audibly against the arm that supported her. "Can you now refuse to give me a little of the love you waste upon that man ?" whispered her companion, drawing her still nearer to him. The revelry waxed loud and furious.— Wine flowed freely, or rather circulated freely through the veins of the dancers ; but Maud Cameron had long ago been conducted home by her attentive escort; yet not, however, until he had proposed an elopement, and plead his guilty love with all the eloquence and sophistry he could command. He declared that to live with one so in different to her happiness and careless and regardless of her welfare was an absolute sin : and, blinded by jealousy and passion, the infatuated woman listened passively to all he had to say. He spoke of the growing creed of frn. love ; painted life in a fureign land, with affection and youth to assist in the enjoy ment; talked of deathless fidelity and de votion ; and at last left the wife at her own home with polluted lips, for lie had dared to seal his vows with a kiss that burned upon the lips of Maud for many a day. Once in her room, she changed her dis guise for a simple wrapper, and, sinking into an easy-chair before the comfortable fire, tried to analyze her feelings. Fail ing in that, she endeavored to forget everything but the awful gulf that yawned at her feet, though deftly hidden by flow ers, while the knowledge of her husband's infidelity pierced her heart as a knife and forced tears from her eyes, But at length, from very weariness, she slept. How long she never knew ; but, when she again opened her eyes, her husband stood before her in an evening-dress. "Not in bed ?" be said gayly. "It's after midnight, my dear. This is a strange way to cure a headache. How very im prudent, Maud, and how pale you are looking ! I ought to be angry with you, child.", The distress pictured in her face touched him. He stooped to lift her in his arms and carry her to her couch, but she shud dered at his touch, and drew away. "What is the matter ?" he questioned in surprise. "How can you ask me ?" she replied growing still more white in her anger, while her beautiful eyes flashed with con tempt. "Really, Maud, this is au exhibition.— It is something new for you to show such spirit, and simply because I happened to stay out a trifle later than usual. I thought we were to be free to act out our individual wills in all things compatible with the happiness and welfare of each other." "Be it so, in future !" she exclaimed, suddenly losing her anger, and, sinking back into the chair, burst out in hysterical tears. The good hearted fellow began at once to coax her in the old-fashioned way, but found her hard and unyielding. But at last he said : "Maud, I wish you would explain this conduct. You will make yourself ill" "That cannot matter to a husband who will go to the French masque with a pretty flower-girl." "Aha! That's the grievance, is it.— But where was the wife, in a blue domino, all the while ?" The crimson tide overran her brow and neck, and showing the tell-tale color above the lace handkerchief she pressed to her face. As no answer was given to his question, he continued : "Maud, I am at last awake to the fact that it is not best to consult one's pleasure entirely, and that which begins as in in nocent flirtation may in the end prove an eternal disgrace. I found the Dana party stupid, and, feeling a little anxious about you, returned home, let myself in quietly, so as not to excite your nerves, went to the library for a smoke and soon after La France was announced. You came down in your masquerade costume gayly enough, and received the praises and admiration of that man, and went away with him to the ball. I was shocked at such deceit and falsehood—was grieved more than I can tell. But the manner of La France to ward you of late has been warmer and more pronounced than is honorable or del icate fur you to receive, and, fully awak ened to your danger, I followed. What you heard me say to the flower girl was to arouse your jealousy, and let you know there might be a scene ifyour identity be came known With satisfaction I saw you withdraw, followed you home, and then sought La France at his hotel ; and I think it is the last time he will attempt to take a wife of mine to a ball ofthat descrip tion." "Did you really care, Ben ?" Sobbed Maud. "Care ? You should have asked the question before you clandestinely put me to the test." • "Oh, ! if you only loved me as—as you ought, and cared more for your home, I don't think I should be so wicked or so wretched as I am tonight." "Is it possible, Maud, that you can doubt me ?" asked her husband in a deep ly grieved tone. "I am not of the senti mental stamp, but my feelings are none the less deep or sincere. I have doubted you, Maud, though you are given to flir tations which I believe were harmless and innocent, and put it down as womanly vanity, nothing more. But we must come to an understanding this very night. My wife must have no concealments, and flirta tions must close from this hour." Maud was weeping bitterly as he was speaking, and, deeply touched, he lifted her out of the chair into his arms, and consoled her with a full and free for giveness. "You do not know all, Ben," sobbed she, "or how near I came to deserting you, feeling you held me lightly and—" "So you would have burned yourself and me upon the altar of public opinion, for one who would have made you what I blush to name ? 0 Maud, Maud !" He put her away, though she clung to him with sobs and tears, and went out into the dark and silent street in utter wretch• edness. The cool air smote his hot brow gratefully, as he walked with his one thought beneath the calm, pure stars. As the day began to dawn he once more entered his home, and went up to their bedroom .to find his wife dressed in a plain traveling costume. She met him with extended hand and pale, tearful face. T want to say good bye, Ben," said she. "I am going home to my mother's. Think as kindly of me as you can. Though I may never earn your forgiveness, I trust to redeem my own self respect and—and" She broke down, for she found herself in her husband's arms, where he declared she should ever remain, sheltered by his love. It was the last of Maud's flirtations. Her husband took good care to be so much of a lover in the future that there was no room for others, and both have gotten into the habit of consulting the wishes of the other upon all occasions. As for Royal La France, lie went to foreign lands alone, where Maud heard of him as very gay and attentive to a fascin ating woman of the day. And she thanks her stars that the love passages between them proved only a flirtation, the bare re collection of which will ever have the pow er to bring the blush of shame to her cheeks.

T. Stewart, the world's greatest merchant, is the event of the weak and the one topic of conversation.— Almost fifty years ago a young Scotch- Irishman came to New York to seek em ployment as a teacher. Not succeeding, he determined to give up the profession, for which he had been fitted, and embark in trade. He had just about money enough to fill a basket, and for a fi.!w weeks he peddled his goods from door to door Then he opened a little store down town, and began a career which is almost roman tic. lie had a theory as to how business should be done, and from the very first he adhered to it with a fidelity that was won derful. He bought always for cash, and he sold in the same way. To everything he bought he added a proper per cent., and the goods were sold at that price, or they lay on his counters for so many months, after which time they were mark• ed down to a point where they would sell. There never was a particle of trickery or fraud in his establishment. The goods were carefully bought, and sold at a fair profit, and the most ignorant person could buy to just as good advantage as the most expert. If a woman in the country want ed a dress, all she had to do was to write the color, material and cost, and her bus band could get it just as well as she. He was a mercantile genius. If a pattern of calico pleased him, he bought, not only all tint the manufacturer had, but he bound himself to take all that could be made of it, so that he alone had it. Possessed of enormous capital, he could take advantage of the markets, and, buying always for cash, he could outbuy all of his com petitors. There is no other such establishment as his in the world. his down-town store is devoted entirely to wholesaleing, and his up-town to retailing. In the two he gave employment to over two thousand people, and in addition he had various fctories, in which he employed four thousand more. He dealt in everything—dry goods, car- pets, fancy goods, brushes, soap.. p.-r fluttery ; all under one roof. and this spring he intended to add hoots and shoes . In that wonderful concern a lady could buy a dress ready made. The alterations, if any were needed, being made in the house in a few minutes, and, without go ing out, she could buy her children's out fit, or furnish her house throughout. And everything in the concern went as smooth ly as .clock•work. The army of clerks were at their posts precisely at seven, and if one was late, he was charged with the lost time. Each stood at his own counter and sold one kind of goods. An army or boys carried the purchases and the moni to a small army of cashiers, who hail the parcels made and made the ciilize. and then if desired the goods were sent home. It was not an uncommon thing for Stewart to sell $3,000 of shilling calicoes in a sin gle day, and his sales of gloves mounted up into the millions. But with all this it cannot be sail that Stewart was either a good or useful citizen. Its was cold and harsh to his employees, merciless to his lebtors, and as grasping as a man could lie. He lived by rule. and was as inflexible as a bar of iron• He never took circumstances into acconnt. and made no allowances It was the dollar that he wanted, and the dollar he wooll have, at no matter what cost to others Possessed of millions he has given but fits tae in charity and has in no way assisted in advancing the interests of city or country. lle built twa very fine buildings, but they were needed in his bosiness, or he never would have done it. Whether lie has left anything to the public, remains to be seen. His estate will trot up not less than $40,000,000, of which t?4'..0100,900 is in real estate in this city. His name has been so long a word of strength, and he hail gone so proudly through a hundred eon vulaioas of businesa, when men were falling around him, tLit it seemed as if' he was exempt from the troubles of mortality, and that the common lot of all could hardly be lila. It did not seem as it' he csuld die. So carfully had his illne4s been kept from the world by his trusted agents, that the news of his death fell on the city with a dramatic sud denness. lie must be numbered as one of the victims of the sharp inflammatory at tacks peculiar to the season. Ills death was one of intense suffering from inflam mation of the bowels, to which he was ant,- ject, but which in this case was the result of a severe cold. To day the pageant of his funeral has hardly passed as this is written. The streets along the line of the procession we:e crowded with the throng which the city gets up at the slightest no tice. The old church of St. Mark'g, in whose ea asey churchyard lies the dust of many knickerbockers, Peter S.tuyveaant among them, was too small to hold a third of those who desired a sight of the million aire's last obsequies, and admission was given to the church as well as to the house by card only, and special police kept. a passage open with difficulty for the car riages, three abreast. Mackerelville came up to gaze at the gilded coffin, and hearse; but ladies in India shawls and creamy plumes, and well-dressed men stood among the frowsy, unkempt crowd, and all gazed, chatted, and criticised, as if it were a pa rade they were out to see. The lower or ders joked and laughed, while their betters speculated about the will, and the soli plate on the coffin, part of which was as. certaiued to be, gold plated on silver and part solid gold. The hearse, newly giit arol polished, was festooned with heavy gold fringe, but the coffin was without pall. With the usual profusion of seentleal white flowers, callus and camelias, proper to funerals, flirists now deftly mingle yel low tea roses and violets, shades suitable to mourning, with subdued and excellent ef feet. The scent of flowers was heavy at the outer door, and the scene in the chancel, the tall white obelisks and crosses of lilies almost filling the space, with the rich vio let hangings of pulpit and reading desk for Lent glowing against them was superb. At the back, tli.i Altar, draped with pur ple cloth, bore a wide cross, nearly ten feet high, in front a table of smilax sup ported an obelisk of white flowers, with the word —Remembered" in violets bedded in the white of its base. In front a tablet of smilax upheld a column six feet high. flanked by a large anchor and a floral harp, whose chords were strung with violets, a star of blossoms in the green at the base. Below, the coffin rested on a bank of flow ers. The widow provided that the decorations be duplicated. so that the coffin was lifted from one company ofemblems at the house to find another bed among them at the church. The house was filed with fashion and respectability, chosen singers chanted the sweetest music, and outside, in the crowd, each man hugged himself that ha was not as the rich one who lay within. —AIL' said an old Irishwoman looking on, -per haps we'll have as good a coffin ourselves when the time conies, not so grand maybe. but it'll answer the purp , s4e. He'll niowld as soon as any of us there." Thousands of employees escorted the hearse, sallow faced clerks and burly porters, four abreast, but there was not room for them in the church, and without doubt they were glad to be in the sun• enjoying their unaccustomed ', holiday. The retail store has been closed since the day Mr. Stewart died, the only time except on legal holidays, it is sa.l. since it was built. It is also said the oth er drygoods firms have not enjoyed such a run of trade fur years as in the two days that Stewart's has been unopened. There are few signs of grief' apparent fir the wan, but h.s loss seems more like a busi ness change than anything else. A GOOD FUNERAL On the same day that Stewart wa• bur ied, another funeral took place, whose chief object seemed to be to outdo the display of the millionaire, only as it was arranged according to the wishes of the deceased, it was probably intended only to show that she could have as fine a show as anybody. The dead woman was fifty years old, daugh ter of a milkman who drove his own cart, unless his wife relieved him of the duty, and the widow of a rich man, who made his money in ice and real estate specula. tions long ago. By her wish, the corpse was in her wedding dress with red and white roses, laid in a coffin rich with black and violet velvet fringed and tasseled with bullion and lined with quilted white satin. The coffin lay in a parlor, backed with tall monuments of flowers which looked as if the ornamental sculpture ofa stone-cutter'. yard had been transported there. The hearse was drawn by six black horses with gilded trappings, next came six carriages with four horses each, seventy more follow ed, half of them empty, and a large wagon carried the flowers to the grave. Pride could no farther go. WIZ rASHIONS The finish and yet simplicity of the new styles are admirable. A fashionable polo- 11:16.1. .14 vr , th •Inr!. .n.l the. 7•- ^••• ••• • }rick han reW 4, 21114.
