[apl9,'7l Miscellaneous HAM AO ITS PLEASURES, - OR - DISEASE AND ITS AGONIES: CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. NERVOUS DISORDERS, What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner vow system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de gree h moot ,ieetreees ng, for where can a remedy be found , Tie re in one:—drink but little wine, beer, t r spirits, or fir better, nuns; take no coffee,—weak tea being prefera ble: g‘t all the fresh air yen can; take throe or four Pills every night: eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of slops; and if these golden rules are followed, you will be happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have auy nerves. 310THERS AND DAUGHTERS If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so fatuous, it is their purifying properties, es pecially their power of clensing the blood from all im purities, and removing dangerous and suspended secre tion, Universally adopted an the one grand remedy for female complaints, they never fail, never weaken the iivst.m, and always brings about what is required. SICK lIEADACEIES AND WANT OF APPETITE. Tl,?se feelings which so sadden us, moot frequently arise frum annoyances or trouble, from obstructed prespi r.ttiou, or from eating sod drinking what is unfit for us, thus disordering the liver and stomach. These organs must be regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if takes according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both liserand stomach, whence follow, as a natural consegence, a good appetite and a clear heed. In the East and West Indies scarcely any other medicine Is ever used for these disord.rs. HOW TO BE STRONG. Never let the bowels be confined or unduly acted upon. It may appthr singular that Holloway's Pills should be recommended for a run upon the bowels, many persons supposing that they would increase relaxation. This is a greet mistake, however; for these Pills will immediately correct the liver and stop every kind of bowel complaint. In warm climates thousands of lives have been saved by the use of this medicine, which in all cases gives tone and vigor to the whole organic system, however deranged,— health and strength following as a matter ofcourse. The appetite, too, is wonderfully increased by the use of these Pills, combined in the use of solid in preference to fluid diet. Animal food is better than broths and stews. By removing acrid, fermented, or other impure humors from the liver, stomach, or blood, the cause of dysentery, diar rhoea, and other bowel complaints is expelled. The result is, that the disturbance is arrested, and the action of the bowels becomes regular: Nothing will stop the relama- Etn of the bowels so quickly as this line correcting med icine. DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS, In all diseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water ;or whether they be afflicted with atom, or gravel, or with aches and pains settled in the loins over the regions of the kidneys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, anti the Ointment, should be well rubbed into the small of the back at bedtime. This treatment will give almost im mediate relief when all other means have failed. FOR STOMACHS OUT OF ORDER. No medicine will so effectually improve the tone of the stomach as these pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver and reduce it to a healthy action; they are won derfully etficaciona in cases of spasm—in fact they never fail in curing all disorders of the liver and stomach.

Everything beautiful, darling, must change; The woodland, the meadow, and course of the stream ; Those scenes now familiar, ere long will seem strange, And only be thought of as seen in a dream, Or pictures of memory long hung away, And faded by age, or the dust of the past; Each moment of pleasure refuses to stay, The voice of the zephyr is lost in the blast. Everything beautiful, darling, must die, And that which increases will surely decrease; The sturdy old oak as a dust-heap will lie, The song and the singer will both have to cease; Yet there is a hope that each beautiful thing— Though not in this life—will have being once more; The heart, like the ivy, to loved ones will cling, When fallen, and creep to Eternity's shore. Everything beautiful, darling, must fade, Muse change and must die, be it ever so grant; And nothing endureth that ever was made, For Time has the day in his own cunning hand; The spirit immortal be humbloth not, Ile builds, though, and crumbles its dwellings of clay; When everything earthly, and Time is forgot, The spirit will laugh at the thought of decay. ~ttiq-Etiter. VALLEY FORGE. BY GEORGE LIPPARD Ilidfen away there in a deep glen, not many miles from Valley Forge, a quaint old farm-house rose darkly over a wide waste of snow. It was a cold dark winter night, and the snow Degan to fall—when from the broad fireplace of the old farm. house the cheerful blaze of massive logs flashed around a wide and spacious room. Two persons sat there by that fire, a father and child. The father, who sits yonder, with a soldier's belt thrown over liii farmer's dress, is a man of some fifty years, his eyes bloodshot, his hair changed to an untimely gray, his face wrinkled and hollowed by care, and by dissipation more than care. And the daughter who sits in the full light of the blaze opposite her father—a slender formed girl of some seventeen years, clad in the coarse linsey skirt and kerchief which made up the costume of a farmer's daughter in the days of the Rev olution. That farmer, Jacob Manheim, was a peaceful, happy man, before the Revolu tion. Since the war he has become drunken and idle—driven his wife broken-hearted to the grave—and, worse than all, joined a band of Tory refugees, who scour the land at dead of night, burning and mur dering as they go. To-night, at the hour of two, this tory band will lie in wait, in a neighboring pass to attack and murder Washington, whose starving soldiers are yonder in the huts of Valley Forge. Washington on his lonely journeys is wont to pass this farm-house; the cut throats arc there in the next chamber, drinking and feasting, as they wait for two o'clock at night. The daughter, Mary, had been reared by her mother to revere this man, Wash ington, who to-night will be attacked and murdered—to revere him nest to God-- Nay, more ; that mother on her death bed joined the hands of this daughter in solemn betrothal with the hands of a young partisan leader, Harry Williams, wbo now shares the crust and the cold of Valley Forge. Yesterday afternoon she went four miles over the roads of ice and snow, to tell Captain Williams the plot of the refugees. She did not reach Valley Forge until Washington had left on one of his lonely journeys; so thiS night, at twelve, the partisan captain will occupy the rocks above the neighboring pass, to 'trap the trappers' of George Washington. Yes, that pale sender girl, remembering the words of her dying mother, has broken through her obedience to her father, after a long and bitter struggle. How dark that struggle in a faithful daughter's heart ! She had betrayed his plots to his enemies—stipulating first for the life, the safety of her traitor father. And now as father and child are sitting there, as the shouts of the Tory refugees echo from the next room—as the hand of the old clock is on the hour of eleven— there is a pause—the door opens—a tall stranger, wrapped in a thick cloak, white with snow enters, advances to the fire, and in brief words solicits some refreshment and an hour's repose. Why does the Tory Manheim start aghast at the sight of that stranger's blue and gold uniform—then mumbling some thin °. to his daughter about "getting food for the traveler," rushes wildly into the next room, where his brother Tories are feasting? Tell me, why does that young girl stand trembling before the tall stranger, veiling her eyes from that calm face, with its blue eyes and kindly smile ? Ah—if we may believe the legends of that time, few men. few warriors, who dared the terror of bat tle with a smile, could stand unabashed before the solemn presence of Wasinghton. For it was Washington, exhausted with a long journey—his limbs stiffened and his face numbed with cold—it was the great "Rebel" of Valley Forge, who re turning to camp sooner than his usual hour, was forced by the storm to take refuge in the farmer's house, and claim. a little food and an hour's repose at his hands. tt a a- C 72 In a few minutes, behold the soldier, with his cloak thrown off, sitting at that oaken table, partaking of the food, spread out there by the hands of the girl, who now stands trembling at his shoulder. And look ! Her hand is extended as if to grasp him by the arm—her lips moved as if to warn him of his danger, but made no sound. Why all this silent agony for the man who sits so calmly there ? One moment ago, as the girl in preparing the hasty supper, opened yonder cloget door, adjoining the next room, she heard the dice box rattle ; she heard the low whispers of her father and the Tories, as they were casting lots who should stab George Washington in his sleep ! HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1876. But now the words : 'Beware or this night you die !' trembled half•formed upon her lips, when the father comes hastily from that room and hushes her with a look. "Show the gentleman to his chamber, Mary—that chamber at the head of the stairs, on the left. On the left, you mind!" Maly takes the light, trembling and pale. She leads the soldier up the oaken stairs. They stand on the landing, in the wing of the farm-house, composed of two rooms, divided by thick walls from the main body of the mansion. On ono side, the right, is the door of Mary's chamber ; on the other, the left, the chamber of-the soldier—to him a chainber of death. For a moment Mary stands there tremb ling and confused. Washington gazes upon that pale face with a look of sur prise. Look ! She is about to warn him of his danger, when see there ! Her father's rough face appears above the head of the stairs. "Mary, show the gentleman into the chamber on the left. And look ye, girl— its late—you'd better go into your own room and go to sleep." While the Tory watches them from the head of the stairs, Washington enters the chamber on the left, Mary the chamber on the right. An hour passes. Still the storm beats on the roof—still the snow drifts on the hills. Before the fire, in the dim old hall of that farm-house, are seven half drunken met, with that tall Tory, Jacob Manheim, sitting in their midst, dip murder's knife in his band. For the lot had fallen upon him. Ile is to go up stairs and stab the sleeping man. Even this half-drunken murderer is pale at the thought—how the knife trembles in his hand—trembles against the pistol bar rel. The jeers of his comrades rouse him to the work,—the light in one hand, the knife in the other, he goes up the stairs— he listens !—first at the door of his daught er's chamber on the right, then at the door of the soldier's chamber on the left. All is still. Then he places the light on the floor —he enters the chamber on the left—he is gone a moment—silence!—there' is a faint groan ! He comes forth again, rushes down the stairs, and stands before the fire with the bloody knife in his hand. "Look'!" he shrieks, as he.scatters the red drops over his comrades faces, over the hearth, into the fire. "Look ! it is his blood—the traitor Washington !" His comrades gather rourrd him with yells of joy • already, in fancy, they count the gold w hich will be paid for this deed, when lo that stair door opens, and there, without a wound, without even the stain of a drop of blood, stands George Wash askinn• for his horse. "What!" shrieked the Tory Manheim, "eau neither steel nor bullet harm you ? Are you a living map ? Is there no wound about your heart ? No blood upon your uniform. That apparition drives him mad. He starts forward—he places his hand tremb lingly upon the breast of Washington! Still no wound. Then he looks at the bloody knife, still clutched in his right hand, and stands there quivering as with death spasm. While Washington looks on in silent wonder, the door is flung open, the bold troopers from Valley Forge throng the room, with the gallant form and bronzed visage of Captain Williams in their midst. At this moment the clock struck twelve. Then a horrid thought crashes like a thun derbolt upon the brain of Tory Manheim. He • seizes the light—rushes up stairs— rushes into the room of his daughter on the right. Some one bad just risen from the bed, but that chamber was vacant. Then towards that room on the left, with steps of leaden heavinessaLookl how the light quivers in his hand l He pauses at the door; he listens! Not a sound—a still ness like the grave. His blood curdles in his veins ! Gathering courage, be pushes open the door. He enters. Towards that bed through whose curtains he struck so blindly a moment ago! Again be panics, not a sound—a stillness more terrible than the grave. He flings aside the curtains. There in the full light of the lamp, her young form half covered, bathed in her own blood—there by his daughter Mary ! Ah, do not look upon the face of the father as he starts silently back, frozen to stone ; but in this pause of horror listten to the mystery of the deed! After her father bad gone down stairs, an hour ago, Mary silently stole from the chamber on the right. Her soul shaken by a thousand fears, she opened the door on the left, and beheld!Washington sitting by a table on which were spread a chart and a Bible. Then, though her existence was wound up in the act, she asked him, in a tone of calm politeness, to take the chamber on the opposite side. Mary entered the chamber which be had left. Can you imagine the agony of that girl's mind as lying on the bed intended for the death couch of Washington, she silently awaited the knife, although the knife might be clenched in a father's hand. And now that father, frozen to stone, stood there, holding the light in one hand, and still clutching the red knife. There lay his child, the blood streaming front that wound in her arm—her eyes covered with a glassy film. "Mary !" shrieked the guilty father— for robber and Tory that he was, he was still a father. "Mary 1" he called to her, but that word was all he could say. Suddenly, she seemed to wake from this stupor. She sat up in the bed with her glassy eyes. The strong hand of death was upon her. As she sat there, erect and ghastly, the room was thronged with sol diers. Her lover rushed forward, and called her by name. No answer. Called again—spoke to her—still no answer. She knew him not. Yes, it was true—the strong hand of death was upon her. "Has he escaped ?" she said in that husky voice. . _ _ "yes !" shrieked the father. "Live, Mary, only live, and to-morrow I will join the camp at Valley Forge." Then that girl—that hero woman—dy ing as she was, not so much from the wound in her arm, as from deep agony which had broken the last chord of life, spread forth her arms, as though she be held a form floating there above her bed, beckoning her away. She spread forth her arms as if to inclose that angel form. "Mother," she whispered—while there grouped the soldiers—there with a speech less agony on his brow stood the lover, there, hiding his face with one hand, while the other grasped the light, crouched the father—that light flashing over the dark bed, with the white form in the centre— "Mother, thank God ! For with my life I have saved him"— Look, even as starting up on that bloody couch, she speaks the hall-formed words, her arms stiffen, her eyes wide open, set in death, glare in her father's face ! The half-formed word still quivering on the white lips of the hero woman—that word uttered in a husky whisper, choked by the death-rattle—that word was— "WASHINGTON I" ,tiert Pisa Hang. AMERICA'S JUBILEE. THE EXPOSITION OPEN GRAND MILITARY DISPLAY. PRESIDENT GRANT'S ADDRESS. 200,000 PEOPLE ON TilE GROUNDS, The exhibition grounds were opened precisely at 9 o'clock, on Wednesday, the 10th inst., and a continuous stream of visitors set in. The weather was clear and a light breeze blowing. The ceremo nies opened at 10.15 a. m. by the national airs of all countries being performed by a large orchestra. Precisely at noon the American flag was unfurled in the main building, ringing chimes, Hallelujah chorus and one hun dred guns, after which the procession, headed by President Grant, moved through the main:building. Presentation of the Exhibition to the Pres ident of the United States by Joseph B. Hawley, President of the United States Centennial Commission. MR. PRESIDENT : Five years ago, the President of the United States declared it fitting that "the completion of the first cen tury of our national existence should be commemorated by an exhibition of the natural resources of the country and their developement, and of its progress in those arts which benefit mankind," and ordered that an exhibition of American or forei! -, n arts, products and manufactures should be held, under the auspices of the govern ment of the 'United States, in the city of Philadelphia, in the year 1876. To put into effect the several laws relating to the exhibition, the United States commission was constituted, composed of two commis sioners each state and territory nom inated by their respective governors, and appointed by the President. The con gress also created our auxiliary and asso ciate corporation, the centennial board of finance, whose unexpectedly heavy burdens have been nobly borne. A remarkable and prolonged disturbance of the finances and industries of the country has greatly magnified the task; but we hope for a fav orable judgment of the degree of success attained. July 4, 1873, this ground was dedicated to its present uses. Twenty one months ago this memorial hall was begun. All the other one hundred and eighty buildings within the enclosure have been erected within twelve months. All the buildings embraced in the plans of the commission itself are finished. The de wands .of applicants exceed the space, and strenuous and continuous efforts have been made to get every exhibit ready in time. By general consent the exhibition is ap priately held in the City of Brotherly Love. Yonder, almost within your view, stands the venerated edifice wherein oc curred the event this work is designed to commemorate, and the hall in which the first continental congress assembled. With in the present limits of this great park were the homes of eminent patriots of' that era, where Washington and his associates received generoushopitality and able coun sel. You have observed the surpassing beauty of the situation placed at our dis posal. In harmony with all its fitness is the liberal support given the enterpr'se by the state, the city and the people individ ually. In the name of the United States you extended a respectful and cordial invitation to the governments of other nations to be represented and to participate in this ex hibition. You know the very acceptable terms in which they respond, from even the most distant regions. Their commis sioners are here, and you will soon see with what energy and brilliancy they have entered upon this friendly competition in the arts of peace. It has been the fervent hope of the com mission that, during this festival year, the people from all states and sections, of all creeds and churches, all parties and classes, burying all resentments, would come up together to this birthplace of our liberties to study the evidence of our resources; to measure the progress of an hundred years, and to examine to our profit the wonder ful products of other lands; but especially to join hands in perfect fraternity and promise the God of our fathers that the new century shall surpass the old in the trne glories of civilization. And further more, that from the association here of welcome visitors from all nations, there may result not alone great benefits to in vention, manufactures, agriculture, trade and commerce, but also stronger interna tional friendships and more lasting peace. Thus reporting to you, Mr. President, under the laws of the governmeet and the of occasions, in the name of the United States Centennial Commission, I present to your view the International Ex hibition of 1576. Address by the President of the United States, and Proclamation of the Opening of the International Exhibition of 1876. MY COUNTRYMEN : It has been thought appropriate, upon this centennial cccasion, to bring together in Philadelphia, for pop ular inspection, specimens of our attain ments in the industrial and fine arts, and in literature, science and philosophy, as well as in the great business of agriculture and of commerce. That we may the more thoroughly ap preciate the excellencies and deficiencies of our achievements, and also give em phatic expression to our earnest desire to cultivate the friendship of our fellow mem bers of this great family of nations, the en lightened agricultural, commercial and manufacturing people of the world have been invited to send hither corresponding specimens of their skill to exhibit on equal terms in friendly competition with our own. To this invitation they have generously responded ; for so doing we render them our hearty thanks. The beauty and utility of the contribu tions will this day be submitted to your in• spection by the managers of this exhibi tion. We are glad to know that a view of specimens of the skill of all nations will af ford to you unalloyed pleasure, as well as yield to a valuable practical knowledge of so many of the remarkable results of the wonderful skill existing in the enlightened communities. One hundred years ago our country was new and but partially settled. Our ne cessities have compelled us to chiefly ex- pend our means and time in felling forests. subduing prairies, building dwellings, Lie tories, ships, docks, warehouses. roads. canals, machinery, eta. Most ofour schools. churches, libraries and asylums have been established within an hundred years. Bur thened by these great primal works of ne cessity, which could not be delayed, we yet have done What this exhibition will show in the direction of rivaling older and more advanced nations in law, medicine and theology, in science, literature; philosophy and the fine arts. Whilst proud of what we have done, we regret that we have not done more. Our achievements have bean great enough. however, to make it easy for our people to acknowledge superior merit wherever found. And now, fellow citizens, I hope a care ful examination bf what is about to he es hibited to you will not only in.pire you with a profound respect for the skill and taste of your friends from other nations. but also satisfy you with the attainments made by our own people durinf.: tha past 100 years. I invoke your generous co operation with the worthy commi!wioners to secnre a brilliant success to this inter national exhibition, and to make the stay of our foreign visitors—to whom we extend a hearty welcome—both profitable and pleasant to them. I declare the inter. national exhibition now open. A short time before the grand proces sion, which was to follow th. inaugural exercises commenced, the military cleired the entire space between the hoard of trance building, judges' pavilion and main and machinery hall, and placed around this immense square a file of soldiers . The clearing of this space was a work of some trouble. The place had on the arriving of the military, filled up with the visitors to the grounds, and it was only by marching the soldiers on them that it was practicable to clear the ground. As the President and his party passed through, the soldiers all presented arms and the officers went through the formula of a military salute, to which the }Presi dent responded by gracefully raising his hat. oRPER OF PROCIISSION LI charge of T. ii.

TILE STARTING OF THE 1.1) P. m.—The presidential pa: ty. with the procession of officiating and visiting dignitaries, home and foreign. passed through the main building, anl a few minutes before one o'clock re - ached Ma chinery hall, and shortly after the Pres ident himself, with the assistance of Mr. Corliss, of Rhode Island, started the great Corliss engine and all its connecting wheels and shafts. The whistles were sounded. all the flags hitherto furled were given to the breeze, there was a general hitzla from the people, and with this concluding (-ere mony the centennial exhibition was formally opened to the world. EVENING. PHILADELPHIA, May - 10 —lt is esti mated officially that 200.000 people en tered the centennial ground to-day. After the ceremonies on the centennial grounds this afternoon Governors Hartranft, Bedle. Carroll and Rice visited the buildings erected by their states respectively and held informal receptions. Governor Rice of the Massachusetts building, was wel comed by Commissioner Loring. He was escorted to the reception by the Boston Cadets, who on their return to the city were joined by the Lancers. His visit was somewhat more formal than the others and was the only one attended by any military disp!ay. The illumination in the city to-night was on a grand scale. The old state house building was the grand centre of attrac tion, and at one time the crowd was so great on Chestnut street that it was al most impossible to pass. Calcium lights were thrown upon the historical building, and everything was as brilliant as day time. The many points of interest were inspected by the people. large numbers of whom were strangers. Gen. Grant was serenaded to-night, but no speeches were made. "I WOULD marry you," said a lady to 30 importunate lover, "were it not for three reasons." "Oh, tell me," he said, implor ingly, "what they are, that I may remove them !" "The first is," said she, "•I don't love yon; the second is, I don't want to love you; and the third is, I couldn't love you if I wanted to :" Our New York Letter. man:: •n'ay who deserve bodi sew path:: ind enconcrzeutens w sal..
