All descriptiouc of sores are remediable by the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at tempt to cure LAO legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bolt gy dimmed condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound and to soothe the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint ment as salt is forced into meat. This will cause the malignant humors to be drained eff from the hard, swol len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or nicer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm breed and water poul tice applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and sorted the same, and greatly assist the cure. Theta is a description of llcer, sore and swelltng, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereigt, reme dy. In curingsuch poisonous sores it never fails to restore the system to a healthy state if the Pills be taken accord ing to tire printed instructions. DIPTIIERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERS. Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub; bing the Ointment three tames day Into the chest, throat, and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must operate upon the whole system ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment wilt do its work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find themselves re lieved as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in ; it will greatly ambit the cure of the throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the Inflammation, eight or ten Pills should be taken night and morning. The Oint ment will produce perspiration, the grand essential in alf case.; of fevers, sore throat, or where there might be an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other FILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURES. "'The above class of complaints will be removed by night ly l'ertnenting the parts with warm water, and then by most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer ing from these direful complaints should lose not a mo ment in arresting their progress. It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in fora con siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be taken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, came of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing down. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH;-SORES AND ULCERS. Blotches, as ti!so swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally enrol if the Ointment he used freely, and the Pills taken night and morning, as recommended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another; whereas this Ointment will remove the humor frets the system, slid leave the Fatima a vigorous and healthy being.— It will require time with the use of the Pills to insure a lasting cure. DROPSIC AL SWELLINGS, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF JOISTS. Althongh the above complaints differ widely in their origin and man,. yet they all require local treatment.— Many of the worst cases, of such diseased, will yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed. In all serious maladies the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions ac companying each box. Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the follow• ing cases Bad legs. Ba i Breasts. Burns, Bunions, Bite of Moschetoes Cancers, Sore Nipples, !Contracted Stir Sore throats, Joints, Skin Diseases, Elephantiasis, Scurvy, .Fistulas, Sore Heads, :Gout, rings, Tumors, Glandular Swell- Ulcers, Lumbago, Wounds, Piles, Yaws.

My Country 'Tis of Thee. My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet Igind of li erty, Of thee I sing ; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side Let freedom ring. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above. Let Music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song ; Let mortal tongues awake. Let all that breathe partake. Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our Father's God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing Long may our land be bright With feedom's holy light, Protect us with thy might, Great God our King! The Star-Spangled Banner. 0 say, can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming ? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming! And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in ;awe proof through the night that our flag was still there; 0 say, does that star-spangled bannner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On that shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses 7 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream ; 'Tie the star-spangled banner! 0, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! And where is that land who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave; And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! 0, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desola- tion ! Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven- rescued land Praise the l'ower that bath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it le just, And this be our motto, "In good is our trust"; And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave FIIANCII4 SCOTT h . EY July Fourth, 1876. A century old to-day ! Upon our spiritual eight there steals A vision of old age; a spectre gray Creeps to an open grave. and trembling kneels, And kneeling, fades away. Yet, 'tie not death we celebrate, Nor yet decrepitude, nor wan decay. The shouts with which the nation greets the Day Are full of lusty life, and faith in Fate. Time has not lessened, but increased our might; No spectre rises, but a giant, armed For peaceful fight. These are not evening shades that dim the light; 'Tis morning, and the risen sun has charmed Away the dismal night. What is this hundred years? To us a life's full span; the tomb That holds three generations of our race; A period from whose womb Have come those grand discoveries which place A thousand years of knowledge in our bands. So wonderful appears This fruitful Century to-day that stands Completed in our presence. that it seems Its predecessors were but hurrying dreams Fleeing away before this hundred years. We boast our hundred years: We boast our limits, washed by either sea ; We boast our teeming millior.s, and that we All, all are free! Wakening our tyrant's fears, Our jubilations shake the world, Which makes our holiday its own, With flags of freedom everywhere unfurled, Waving in every zone. A century old to-day ! Yet nature gives no heed; The great sun rises, shines and sets, Unmindful of the joy or grief that frets Our bosoms as he keeps his way. The ancient Ocean cares more for the weeds He flings ashore Than for man's aspirations or his needs : The silent stars ignore Us and our destiny ; the gathering storm Abates no threat; the seasons pass, and warm And freeze us as they did before. What is a century to the sun ? Or to the hurricane? or the shining eyes Of heaven, that have seen hundreds from their skies ? The whole material universe moves on, Uncaring that a hundred years are gone! VI. What is a hundred years? A speck upon the dial-plate of time ! How infinitely small to God appears An Age—to us so spacious and sublime ! To our small vision is the small event Expanded and enhanced. We claim for man a power pre-eminent; By dreams of immortality entranced, We hail the wondering skies, And bid them yield their secrets to our skill. We smite the sea with ships and work our will; We drag the lightning down and tie it fast; Ilainess the air and rise To heights serene, and dare the raging blast. Yet all these feats so vast Are only ravellings from the fringe of power; Nature perceives no conquest and no loss; She for a while permits—then, with an hour Of flood or earthquake, spoils, Unconsciously, the fruit of all our toils ! She bids the raging Cyclones toss And tear, and overwhelm The stately ships that claim to rule their realm. Yet man, too, hath his triumphs in this war; The vital spark outlives Material forms and gives Immortal lustres to the ages past. Down the dim paths of centuries afar Shine thoughts of beauty which can never die ; Immaculate conceptions which inspire - - All noble souls and fire Great hearts with generous desire. What though the pile aspiring to the sky, Wrought with artistic cunning, cannot last ! What though the dust of ages hides from sight Cities of which tradition only tells ! Nobler than these, and beautiful as dreams, Fabrics of hope remain with love alight, - Wherever - dwells Good will to man, adorned with fadeless beams, VIII, A hundred years! How in its perfect circle hath the power Of progress waxed! how have the mists Of superstition vanished from man's sight ! How have his hopes prevailed above his fears! In that decisive hour When Freedom closed with Slavery in the lists Of deadly combat, Freedom won the fight! By one great deed, A charter, written with an iron•pen Dripping with brothers' blood, has freed A race of slaves to be a race of men ! Ix. Illustrious Day, all hail ! We celebrate our Nation's birth ! am Our songs of joy haunt every gale HUNTINGDON, PA., F. And echo o'er the earth! And riot with martial sounds alone, Of cannon's roar and trumpet's noisy blare, We vent our joy upon the listening air. But build a temple to the Arts, and throne The gods of labor and design Within its walls. Hero time and Beauty meet, And hero entwine Their locks with garlands from the poet's lay And while the orator, in speech divine, Sets gems of wisdom from the antique :lay, The minstrel of the Future strikes his lyre In matchless strains filled with celestial fire; And as the echoes die Amidst tumultuous shout and jnyful cry, The prescient car, intent, with rapture hears Them sounding down another hundred years! —J.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dis solve the political bands which have con nected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of na ture and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect fbr the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We•hold these truths to be self evident —that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov erned ; that whenever any form of govern• ment becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new govern ment, laying its foundation on such prin ciples, and organizing its powers in such form, as to then► shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru dence, indeed, will dictate that govern ments long established shall not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accord ingly all experience bath shown that man kind : - .re more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right them selVes by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a de sign to reduce them under absolute des potism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to pro vide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the ne cessity which constrains them to alter their former system of government. The his tory of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpa tions, all having in direct object the es tablishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary tOr the pub lic good. lie has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained ; and, when so suspended, lie has utterly neglected to at tend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legisla ture—a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. Ile has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and dis tant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. Ile has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firm ness, his invasions on the right of the peo ple. lie has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation. have returned to the people at large for their exercise ; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the danger of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the pop ulation of these States ; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to en courage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swan 3 of officers, to harrass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our consti tution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation,— For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any muriers which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States : For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world : For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury : For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offences : For abolishing the true system of En glish law in a neighboring province, es tablishing therein au arbitrary government, and enlarging itgboundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies : For taking away our charters, abolish• ing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our govern• ment : For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases what-, soever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. _ lielas plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. lle is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenariep, to complete the works of death,:desolation, and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in LUDAY„JUNE 30, 1876. the most barbarous ages. and totally un worthy the head of a civilized na ti on . lie has constrained our fellotv-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. Ile has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is au undistinguished de struction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms ; our petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thu: marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwar. rentable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. 'We have appealed to their native justice and mag nanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disa vow these usurpations, which would in evitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consan guinity. We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our sepa ration, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war—in peace. friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Su• preme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these United Colonies are, and of good right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all al legience to the British crown, and that all political connections between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought, to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alli ances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And for the sup port of this declaration, with a firm re liance on the protection of Divine Provi dence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

The Centeiazial—New Ideas—Transfor mation—Boston—Real Estate. THE CENTENNIAL. Everybody is advising everybody else to stay away, in the consistent manner of human nature, but nobody seems to take the advice to heart. It is true that all the departments are not in order, and probably will not be much before the fourth of July. There is enough now to see that is of interest, but it will not be advisible to visit the exhibition till after the middle of this month. Till the summer heats are over, Philadelphia is one of the hottest cit ies in the Union. It is not on the coast directly, as is New York and Boston, with a sea breeze of its own to cool it each af ternoon, but is inland, and lies shut in from the ocean winds, so that it lies baking in airless heat all midsummer. The parties of country people coming from the Cen tennial are apt to be cross and wilted•look ing already, their linen dusters soiled and stringy, their money used up pretty close ly, and the whole party foot sore, and tir ed of being crowded and stared at by fine people. if there are children along, they are fractious with fatigue and excitement, their mothers will with trying to keep them in order, till every woman of them is willing to give bonds, if she can only get home again, never to leave it for a score of centennials. This is a picture of not a few groups one sees leaving the ex• hibition. I would advise having all the children of a neighborhood boarded out by the stay at-homes in turn, while their fathers and mothers go to the Centennial. It is no use trying to see it with children in tow; they don't see enough to pay them for the trouble of going, and their room is wanted for older folks. The young ones will probably live to 'have centennials of some sort when they are old enough not to be nuisances. Let their parents go without them, and take what comfort they can from the big show; they will iu most cases be glad enough to get home, but will have enough to talk about tb last them the rest of their regular lives. NEW IDEAS. The very change will do people in the country good, by bringing them face to face with the last production of civilization and giving their ideas friction with those of other nations and classes. It takes such an occasion as a Centennial to bring out the folks who need to visit fairs and expositions, the stay.at-homes who hardly leave the town they live in once in twenty years. They are apt to carry home some notions that astonish the beighbors, not so much with the novelty of things them selves, as with the strangeness of seeing so-And-so adopt anything fresh. It is pleasing to see alteration that passes over some groups as they grow familiar with new modes and customs. They walk about the first day awkward and old Ilishioned enough, the observed of all observers, or would be it there were not so many old fashioned to keep them company. The next day the girls have a new necktie, the boys drop their turn down dollars Co standing ones, and they buy the obi lady a veil to cover her bonnet which isn't the latest style. Then as the linen ►lusters get soiled atol wrinkled, the young men take courage, anti finding haw cheap cloth ing is in the city, come out in a ready made suit of neat style, and while they are about it, a fancy straw hat that trans fortas them into very pleasant specimens of intelligent young American gentlemen, that is, presuming them to have good man ners to start with, which most boys brought up by good mothers, have, whether they belong to country or town. The girls not to be behind, study the way the city girls do up their hair, and when they find their home-made poplins growing too warm, venture on an embroidered linen areas or two, ready-made, and a lace scarf u► soften the effects round their necks. They get fresh gloves of nice color and pin their dresses back like other folks when the brothers hint that they would like to see them look more like other folks--even the old lady, by the time she has a new polon aise, to keep her long veil compiny, looks quite re4peetable, anti when the whole par ty goes home, they take back a notion of living and appearing better that will do them good all their lives. TRANSFORMATII)N One lady tried the virtues of city shop• in a very satisfactory manner. She W 44 quite plain, with that straight-haired and high-browe.l plainness which form. the most hopeless sort of bad looks. She burnt her hair off frizzing it. and it would not disguise the severity of her face•. Even her devoted friends wished she could do something to make it easier to endure her looks. While in the city one day she desperately went to a Broadway magician, I was going to call her, but it really is a hair-dresser and cosmetic artist, who nn• derstands the art of making most of faces. The plain lady sat down at the e'iffeur's glass and told her "Do whit you can to make me look Letter." No sooner said than done. She looked in the class more than satisfied. By skillful adjustment and a few tonchea to supplement natnre, she was transformed into a very passable-look ing woman, with style. if not positive bean ty. The first thing her husband said to her was, I don't know what yon have been doing to yourself, but you certainly look better than I ever saw you." her friends said, "Why did you never look so before.' " In private her husband insisted on havinz the change explained to him. A dozen hair-pins were pulled out and the original homeliness stood before him. A band of soft natural curls woven on an invisible fiundation shaded the unpleasant brow. giving the face a softened expression, and a braid of hair, fine and delicately light in weight. was added to the twist at the back of the head, making a shapely and classic knot. The whole arrane'emeat weighed only three ounces, and when on, defied detection. The husband thought a minute He had always scoffed at toilet tricks, but their effect was too much fir him. Discipline must .'e mainntained in the family, however, at any Cr'?, and turning to her he said with delicacy. "My dear, I never liked false hair. as yon know, but I think you had better continue the use of a little additional hair, till your own grows out. And if I catch you go ing without it, you may betake yourself to the Cen!eunial for all me." The wife heard, and, being a dutiful woman, obey. ed. But great was the wonderment in her neighborhood when she went home. with her new coquetries, so transformed that her family agree in protesting that her husband got the best looking wife of the lot after all. They agreed, finally. on the theory of tartly development to solve the mystery. Her husband keeps the secret well, and when questioned on the anhject only shakes his head. BOSTON since last week I have been in Boston. I was in hopes to find the old city in bet ter condition than New York, but I was disappointed. New England is even flat ter than New York, and there is more mourning, and with better rea.son. The manufacturers are overstocked with goods. the hands are idle and eating up the ac cumulation of former years, the mercantile interest is consequently as fiat as it can be. and everybody is discouraged. One of the heaviest publishers in the city told me that his sales, wholesale and retail, did not amount to $3OO per day, which was some thing less than the daily running expenses of his stor.. When the book trade goes slow in New England, there is not much hope for anything else. There is very little building going on, no new enterpri ses are entered into, and there is a universal feeling of depression. Speaking of depression, the Philadel phians feel it just as badly as the other cities. The Centennial has not been as productive as it was expected. The hotels. restaurants and bars are doing well. but the trade that it was expected to bring has not come. The people come simply to see the Centennial, and not to buy goods, and they see it and go away. The sea-board cities are suffering, and I fear they are to suffer tier sonic time to come. REAL ESTATE in the city is fearfully dull, duller than ever before. There isn't a piece on Broad way that will sell for mortgages, and rents are going down to nothing. Bottom has not yet been touched, as had as it is. Rents have gone down 75 per cent. and are still declining. The weather is fear fully hot. and everybody feels the dead languor that hot weather and dull busi ness always brings. Pt VTR°. Proverbs. Borrowed clothes never fit. Better go round than fall in a ditch. Better go alone than in bad company. Better go to bed supperless than get up in debt. Cut your coat according to your cloth. Catch the bear before you sell his skin. Charity begins at home but does not end there. Do not rip up old sores. Doing nothing is do- . .ng ill. Diligence commands success. Debt is the worst kind of poverty. Dependence is a poor trade to follow. Deeds are fruits, words are but leaves. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Every couple is not a pair. Everything is good in its season. Everybody's business is nobody's busi ness. False friends are worse than open enc. inies. OUR CANDIDATES . RathPriori! B.
