NEiIVOUS DISORDERS. What i+ ne;re fearful than a breaking, down of the net v.'s system? To be excitable or net tons in a small de gree is most 4lestressing, for where can a remedy be found There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, t r spirits, or far better, none; take no cotfee,—weak tea being prefora lde ; get all the fresh air you can; take three or four Pills every nial.t eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of .lops; and if these golden rules are followed, you will be happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have any nerves. 310THERS AND DAUGHTERS, If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so Minot's, it is their ptnifying properties, es pecially their power of clensing the blood from all im• purities, and removing dangerous and suspended isecre tione. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy fur female complaints, they never fail, never weaken the system, and always brings about what is required. SICK HEADACHES AND WANT OF APPETITE The•s. , •elinly, which so sadden us, most frequently arise from annoyances or trouble, front obstructed prespi ration, or from eating and 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 taken accorilin4 to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both li•eritud stomach,whenco follow, as a natural consellence, a good appetite and a clear head. la the East and West Indies scarcely any other medicine is ever used for these disorders. HOW TO BE STRONG, Never let the bowels be confined or unduly acted upon. It may appear singular that Holloway's Pills should be recommended for a run upon the bowels, many persons supposing that they would increase relaxation. Tilts is u great 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 rito,a, 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 relaxa tion of the bowels so quickly as this fine correcting med icine. DISORDERS OF THE.KIDNEYS, In all liiseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little Water ;ur whether they be afflicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains sailed iu tho loins over the regions of the kidneys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, Mid the (Nutria at, should be well rubbed into the small of the 'tick at bedtime. This treatment will give almost im mediate relief •eheu all other means have failed. FOR STOMA.CIIS OUT OF ORDER. Nu medicine• will so effectually improve the tone of the Ftir:uach as the, pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver aad reduce it to a healthy action ; they ore won derfully ethcaciaus in rases of spasm—in fact they never fail is curing :all disorders of the liver and stomach.

GERMANTOWN, A STORY OF THE REVOLUTION- Nature had lavished her quiet, unob trusive beauty upon"the scenery of Penn sylvania. This remark applies only to the lower and middle counties; to the west and northwest the parallels of the tremen dous Allegheny begin to heave up side by side like the swells of the great sea when provoked by the only element that is able to disturb the home of the leviathan. It was a summer's sunset, near Germantown; and the soft splendor of the departing day lingered on a lovely elevation which com mands the view of the greater part of that ancient town. No dweller there can mis take the features of nature which will ever mark the romantic eminence. It is not a bold, sugar-loaf hill, dropped like a hail stone from the clouds, but it is rather an inclined vale propped up by many hills, where beauty might forever wish to linger as in a second vale of Tempe, sheltered by the young green trees, and cooled by the gurgling brooks. It was the close of one of those days of the American revolution—bright as the evening of Italy, and balmy-as the green spice gardens of the happy Arabia. But the hearts of the sons and daughters of America were aching with the bitterness of a sanguinary contest, on the long de ferred result of which the happiness of millions depended. .Prayer and battle and agony were the elements of the convul sion which reached to the heart of ayoung nation, and every class in society without distinction of sex felt the cause in which all were engaged to be one of a holier im port than those national dramas so often enacted on the world's wide stage, appa rently unconnected with the great leading principles of human happiness. No won der, then, that the fair daughters of Col umbia werenymphs of the pensive shades and of the evening sighs rather than the merry maids their grand daughters are now. No wonder that care passed oftimes like a cloud over their brows when their lovers and brothers were in the tented field, subjected to the dangers of sickness as well as the deatb-3hot of the enemy. Maria Everard had more than the un certainty of war to cast a melancholy gloom around her evening path as she slowly walked down the vale we have attempted to describe. She mourned the certain death of her two only brothers—who • died in confinement as prisoners of war in New York. Of high chivalrous spirits, and ed ucations far above the common standard of that day, these youpg heroes, leaving, their parents and only sister, became vol unteers in the sacred cause of freedom— and, as they went, received blessings min gled with the overflowing tears of affec tionate fjndness. Their first letters from the army in the vicinity of the Hudson river were the spirit stirring productions of warm hearted and generous young men, enamored of glory as it was personified be fore them in the sublimity of character which composed the soul of the American army. A dreary suspension of communi cation followed. Then came a letter from Fort Putnam detailing the capture of the two daring brothers. Next came a hag gard soldier who had by some happy ex pedient secured his release from the hard captivity of war, and brought to the dis tressed family of the Everards the dying words of Maria's brothers. The fever which raged in the prison of the miserable men soon prostrated two of the finest - forms that ever stood erect in the line of battle; and, as their worldly prospects fled away from them like a vision of the night, they could only falter a farewell and a blessing which might perchance at some future ilay reach their beloved home—accents of bit terness indeed, but better even thus 'than silence, rendering death more terrible in the bush of its unspoken mystery. Slowly wandering down the vale as the evening shadows were stretching upward, and the low echoes of declining day mur muring along like the remembered sounds of other ears, Maria's heart involuntarily fastened its affections on heaven with un usual ardor. Raising her eyes towards the mellow skies above her, she breathed a strain of music, soft and low like a lut,i but with an almost supernatural distinct ness of utterance. The melody of her soul would have vi brated longer to the touch of celestial emotions had not a mounted stranger, by a sudden spring of his horse, thrown him self on a side path directly before her.— Almost deprived of the power of speech the youthful rider gazed on the fair ap parition before him as one might look on an inhabitant of the upper world; while HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1.876. his undress costume of the American camp, and a countenance too innocent and fresh for deeds of war, awakened a strong, al though confusing recollection of her de parted brothers in Maria's mind and agi tated her tumultuously. The stranger, sensible of his duty to apologize for the alar he had accidently occasioned, found woi.ls to make a feeble apology for his ob trusion. Observing her long, pallid gaze on the probts of soldiership which his dress disclosed, his spirits rallied as he gayly inquired if such an angel could pos sibly belong to a tory family. The kind. ling eye of Maria did not long leave the young soldier in doubt of her patriotism; "I wear," said she, "the weeds of mourn ing for my two only brothers who died in the war prison at New York. Their dear remembrance and the cause in which they died.have the same resting place in my heart. God will deliver the oppressed." "Yes, God will save Washington and -my country"—was the energetic response. Mutually excited and pleased with each other, the young officer dismounted with a gallantry that united delicacy to noble bearing, and attended the new foung charge to her father's mansion, tenderly in quiring the particulars of the vast sacri fice made by a single family on the altar of freedom. The emotions experienced by the father and mother as they saw their daughter enter with a military escort were similar to those that had just thrilled through her mind. The beloved forms of their boys came fresh upon their recollec tions, and they received their soldier guest with tears. Witn a manly and courteous simplicity he announced his name as Frederick , late a student of Yale College, but roused by the wrongs of his bleeding country he had thrown off the toga and buckled on the sword. He was attached to the staff of Washington—was on an errand of important secrecy—had listened a moment to a nightingale in their beautiful woods, and brought the warbler home. This tale of candor gained the hearts of this patriotic family; and when, as he said, the call of duty summoned him away, be received many pressing invita tions to continue an acquaintance which, although the result of an accidental oc currence, might yet be productive of pleas ure and friendship. The tread of the young stranger's horse was heard far down the vale now obscured by darkness. A pause in the conversa tion of the family circle showed the deep traces of feeling which an interview so transient had left behind in the generous bosoms of a bereaved family. No wonder that there might have been a disposition to transfer the affections which had been broken up by death upon so bright an in carnation of youthful beauty, honor, sin cerity, and patriotism. The apparent fer vor of the soldier's piety in his allusions to his country and to the danger of his expeditions gave him a stronger claim on Maria's remembrance than even his per sonal accomplishments. The night wore away—rather a sleepless one to the dwellers in the mansion house; but the next de fling brought the graceful Frederick to the door. There was the proud imprint of the consciousness of duty done on his countenance. His conversation was spirit ed and disclosed the bright clear depths of' his intellectual resources. His was no common mind. He would have been one of nature's noblemen in whatever country lie might have first breathed the vital air. The new acquaintance he had so unex pectedly formed in the mansion house seemed to open a new era in his existence. Maria's countenance was the unsullied mir ror in which he saw the aspirations of his own ardent spirit reflected . with a loveli ness Ile had scarcely looked for on earth. He departed and came again, returned and came, until his existence seemed united to the man: ion house by an invisible bond that strengthened.with every passing , mo ment. Philadelphia seemed a centre from which his excursions diverged—yet his re turn track was always through the vale of the hills. The summer of 1777 wore away and sober autumn came with its rich brown shadows thrown with a careful profusion over the meadows and the umbrageous groves. Frederick's visits became more frequent until he became a daily guest— yet it could not escape the observation of those who felt so deep an interest in his welfare that a shade of anxiety deeper than that of autumn was gathering on his brow. One evening he startled the family circle with the remark that within twenty four hours they would see the divisions of the British army from the windows. He conjured them to remain in quietness un less directed to remove by one who felt a deeper concern for their welfare than for his own life "I am not powerless," said he, "and with the permission of Heaven your retreat of innocence and virtue shall not be polluted by a hostile f 0 0 .." The prophecy was fulfilled. On the morning of the twenty sixth of September the long array of the British forces was seen from the mansion house stretching, at right angles, across the town, the left resting on the Schuylkill, an I the chain of posts on the right communicating with the Dela ware; while, conspicuously seen from the parlor windows, the broad tent of Sir Wil liam Howe spread its whitened sides to the sunbeams. Frederick had arrived in the gray twi light of the morning and was the first to show the family where the red lines of the enemy were forming to the call, of the morning drum. He was dressed like a laborer and remained all that day and the seven following ones in the mansion with a strong spy glass reading every movement and penetrating the secret designs of his powerful foe. His frequent messages to Washington were carried to the grove by the fair Maria and handed to rangers whose autumn colored garments and noise less movements were but the subordinate parts behind the curtain in the drama of war. During the morning of October 3d, Frederick, imprinting a long, burning kiss on Maria's forehead, and respectfully sa luting her parents, told them that his duty called him away. Pointing towards the enemy, he expressed his ardent prayer that the time had arrived when all traces of their array should be blotted from the beautiful map of Germantown. Engaging to see them again before anything derive should occur, he plurged into the grove where he first saw Maria; and the over flowing eyes of his enamored friends could no longer trace the path of him whom all regarded as a Heaven-sent protector, and one felt to be the only being in the wide world with whom she could divide the hap piness of earth and the blessedness of eternity. A heavy day and a sleepless night tar dily passed. The night was one of intense prayer to Maria. Before sunrise the wake ful family heard the sudden tread of a horseman, and in a moment Frederick stood before them. How gay does chivalry ar- ray itself for the battle agony 1 It is like putting the wedding rings and the festival robes on hands and forms that are begin ning to chill in nature's last struggle with dissolution. Frederick wore the rich uni form of a colonel; a prouder picture of youthful manliness never met the eyes of a maiden in whose fond yet tearful gaze blushes and paleness met with the strong er lineaments of love and forebodino.. The excitement of the great,undevelopecr event just at hand dilated his features, and lent an neusual power, or rather grandeur to his countenance. •"I have but a moment," said he, hastily ; "come with me to the door." The town was covered with a low dense fog which completely hid the camp of the enemy as well as the edifices of' the inhabitants from view. "Beneath the cur- tain of the fog," said Frederick-, "the whole army of Washington are in motion to attack the enemy. Here, by the way of Chestnut bill, the divisions of Sullivan and Wayne are approaching; ynnder,down the Ridge road, General Armstrong leads the Pennsylvania levies; there, the col. umns of Green and Stephen are deploying on the Lime kiln road ; while, along the old York road, Generals Smallwood and Forman are urging the columns of the New Jersey and Maryland militia; and yonder Stirling, Nash and Maxwell are ' stationed with a strong reserve. Half an hour will bring you the noise of battle Dear friends, be calm ; pray for Washing ton and your country." "And why should you be forgotten," said the venerable Er erard ; "why should we not pray for you that Heaven may graciously shield you from harm in the shock of laattle?" The wan and foreboding looks of Maria and her mother, and the corresponding sympathies of Frederick, convinced him that he might tarry too long. He already felt the weakness of womanhood fluttering in his bosom and choking his utterance. "Farewell," said he to his venerable friend: "I will not conduct myself unworthy of your friendship and your generous family." He gave a pelting embrace to Maria's mother, then turned to her with a heart too full for speech. Their embrace was one of trembling and deep emotion, like those who part never more to meet. A few broken whispers from each revealed the yet unspoken tale of their mutual love. It might. be the only moment allotted them on earth to tell what each thought a secret, and what neither could think of a final separation without a wish to disclose. • He tore himself away from the pale stat uary of love and foreboding emotion. As he was mounting, he released a spy-glass from his saddle, and reached it falteringly to Maria. Perhaps the vain thought flash ed into his mind that the glass might ena ble her to see her hero in the deadly charge; or, judging more kindly, might enable her to see danger at a distance and provide for flight if the day should be dis astrous to the American arms. He ling ered a moment, as if in mental prayer,an d was lost in the dense fog that was then creeping up the hills. Dull, heavy echoes like the tumbling of distant waters prevailed tn. a few moments —then startingly interrupted by the sharp reports of musketry, as if a picket was driven.in—then the loud thunder of the alarm guns and the roll of the drums suc ceeded. The firing-soon became heavy on the right and left; but the experienced ear of E% erard detected the proofs of' a conflict too stationary to warrant the belief of a total surprise or rout on the part of the enemy. Towards the Schuylkill the report of small arms, like the rattling of hail,had been incessant for half an hour, and then the brazen mouthed cannon begun to speak to the contested question. The vapor obstinately clung to the scene of action, as if to veil the work of death from the eyes of Heaven. No bobs , . r' on earth could have felt an interest so fear fully profound in this single contest as the Everard The father rapidly walk • ed with irregular steps before his embow ered mansion ; the mother was pale as war ble and absorbed in prayer; the daughter was intensely gazing into the bosom of the vapor, her thee whiter than the driven snow, her eyes enlarged far beyond their ordinary size, dark as bottomless fountains, and yet bringing up no image from the troubled field of battle. The sun was some hours above the eas tern horizon and begun to throw strong bursts of sunlight into the sea of fog which soon moved toward the hills. Washington had called his reserve to the field; the enemy hal not been driven from a single post; he reached a penciled order to the impetuous Frederick to charge along with the brave Colonel Matthews, who flew to the duty which be had ardently sought. Frederick thought a moment of the man sion house, strained his eyes toward it as for the last time and saw a vista opened up through the disturbed vapor quite to the spot where he left all that was precious to him on earth. He fancied he could discern the faintly defined form of his three friends. He thought of the glass—and rushed to the charge. The breaking up of the fog had been the signal to Maria to raise the spy-glass. There she stood, as if her whole soul went out with her strained vision. She noticed the movements of the charge—distinguish ed the bold outline of Frederick on his war horse, apparently casting his farewell look toward the hill, and then reship; onward to the silent, deadly tug of the sword and bayonet. The opposing forces mingled ; the fog settled down again like a curtain dropped' by invisible hands. Maria tottered forward, fell upon her face and shrieked : "He's lost—he's lost:" Everard's bosom swelled with self-reproach as he heard the glorious strains of "God save the King" rolling in from a battalion band up the hills. He hastily seized his musket and munitions of war, and begun to march for the battle plain before he noticed his wife and daughter. He. stopped— raised and restored them to vitality again—and, as the sunlight burst out triumphantly, saw divisions of the American army iu retreat, and the British camp breaking up and fi lint, toward Philadelphia. 0 * * Twelve hundred killed and wounded lae on the fields of Germantown. The brave General Nash and his aid were cold on the plain. None could tell the fate of tat• thews or Frederick. Washington, like a chafed lion, removed to another thicket whence he could leap upon the foe—and the mansion housa became again a house of mourning. Maria's nervous system was prostrated. Apathy of soul and a torpor of animal life pervaded her entire being. Was she to become the fourth victim on the altar of revolutionary sacrifice ? Day by day she wasted away, looking more like au exquisite piece of statuary, white al most to transparency, and cold as the mar ble itself. Nature is insensible to scenes of human woe, and clothes herself in her brightest robes when the sons and daughters of hu n►anity are clothed in the weeds of the grave. October was a respleti , ;ent month One of i s last evenings was 11,mied with the gushing tnooubeatni poure.l like uniul ten silver all ever the brown background of the fallen leaves awl the seised shrub beiy.

Thr Crittritnial—Fushions— T Ise Prrsh 11 - IPrian Coterie! —Splrtiny Pau— Business The Jr-agv.r. TUE CENTENNIAL I have been to Philadelphia, and have seen the great thaw. It is a big thing, and everybody in the United States ought to see it. Make no mistake—you ought to see the Exposition. The display of machinery is wonderful ; the display of minerals and other productions of that na ture is still more No, and the art depart ment is as rich as rich can be. Europe and America have . contributed the best of their works. There has been the most generous provisions made to show every thing that is rich, rare, curious, and in structive, and the:v. can he no better mouth or week spent than at the great Exposition. It is a liberal education to go through the various departments and study what is of interest. The ancient jewelry, that goat back to the time of Charlemagne, the an• cient pottery from Herculaneum and Pom peii, and still timber back of that ; the pottery of modern days, showing by con trast the difference between the ancient andlthe modern ; the world of embroid eries, laces, fancy work of taste and utility —in short the wilderness of everything, ancient and modern, that can be used and that can delight the eye or the other senses Such a collection will not be seen again fir a hundred years,andprobably never will be again. But while I advise everybody to come to Philadelphia this aea.soa, I am equally earnest in advising them not to come now. The fact is, as gigantic as the Exposition is to-day, it is still io a very crude and unsatisfactory condition. There is an entire lack of order. as yet ;the elassi fication is imperfect, and constqueotly it takes twice as long to see what you want to see as it ought. All this will be rase died in time, and the show will be in bet ter shape. The wonderful aggregation will be cassified, and order will finally reign where chaos now is. Bat thi s al one is not why I advise your readers to stay away for the present. There is a reason beyond that. The fact is, the Philadel phian has not yet found out that there is a bottom to the purse of the people. and that the world was not made for Philadel phia to pluck this year. The city is spec ulating. Presuming that the people would come, any how, the Philadelphian, from the hotel keeper to the boot black, sat down and calculated, not how to make the visit of the stranger agreeable. bu' how best to pluck him. The Philadelphian has spent nights in calculation as to how much the stranger would stand without rebelling. and he is going to the outside of that limit. The Hotels have forgotten that the war is over, and the best of them charge 155 per day, with everything Tinder heaven that impudent and ingenious clerks cm pile on in the way of extras. The smaller hotels arc equally extortionate, the board ing houses are equally grasping, the bars are simply outrageous; the railroads have made no concessions to speak of—in short, Philadelphia has its hand on the pane of every one who conies, with its ' - atand and deliver." There is just one way to beat this game, and only one—don't come. Stay away until these people get sick and come down. Show them that there is no especial oe• cessity for going to Philadelphia this year. and that to get you. Philadelphia has rot to make a bid. Let Philadelphia under stand that you must be ensured good. square, honest treatment, if you come, and the decent people of Philadelphia will see that you get it. Three mechanics went into the regularly authorised restaurant, on the grounds, the other day, far lunch, and were compelled to pay $6,36. for a lunch that would have been dear at $1.04) a month age. Stay away till Philadelphia invites you by promising you protection against organized robbery. If yen stay away long enough they will want you had• ly enough to do this—if not. stay away al together. Philadelphia, preei.ely as Vi enna did, is killing its goose while it is yet a goslin. But make your arrangements to come. All this was to have been expected. and in a week or two it will cure itself There is plenty of room, and the people will find where they can get fair treat ment. FASHIONS. The most gorgeous contrast of cols up on white, or the yellowish tinges in vogue. will be seen in dressy costnntes the coming summer. Because it is c , ntennial year, and everybody is uader the necessity of wearing the red white and blue, taste goes a step farther, and sanctions such unions as cardinai red, with either brighter Marie Louise blue. or, what is moreeffective,deep navy blue, and ecru or yellow. The three colors are worn in bows and sashes on black silks, grenadine especially, and on white muslin dresses. Please observe the dis tinction ; the warmest, richest shades must be used. not merely bright ones. It will not do to wear cherry-color and azure together, for stylish effect on white dress or a black one; the reds and Lines are to be deep and bright together. Instead of the uniform reliefof black and brown trim mings seen so long,street snits of pale brown and the fashionable pearl grays are piped with blue and crimson, very likely both together, in slight lines that light the dress in the most subdued,bewitehiog way.while linings of the same peep out from sleeves and ruffles, or the reverse of block trim mings on the edge, making a summer-like graciousness of attire, very pleasing to the eyes of men, and those women who do not see any special sinfulness in a bit of color. THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. This is a great year for the Preabyteri• ans.
