HEALTH AND ITS PLEASURES,

DISEASE AND ITS AGONIES:
CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
NERVOUS DISORDERS.
What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner
vous system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de
gree is most destressing, for where can a remedy be found' ,
There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, cr spirits, or
far better, none; take no coffee,.—weak tea being prefera
ble ; get all the fresh ;air yon can ; take three or four
141 Is 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 iu body, and forget you have
any nerves.
MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
If there is on thing more than another for which these
Pills arc eo famous, it is their purifying properties, es
pecially their power of clensing the blood from all ilia
purithm, and removing dangerous and suspended secre
tione. Universally adopted as the one grand remely for
female complaints, they never fail, never weaken the
system, and always brings about what is required.
SICK HEADACHES AND WANT OF
APPETITE.
These feelings which so sadden us, most frequently
arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed prespi
ration, or from eating and drinking what is unlit for us,
thus disordering the liver and stomach. These organs
must be regulated if you wish to be well. The Filts, if
takes according to the printed instructions, will quickly
restore a healthy action to both liver and stomach, whence
follow, as a natural conseqence, a good appetite and a
clear head. in the East and West Indies scarcely any
other mediciue 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
Twommended for a run upon the bowels, many persons
supposing that they would increase relaxation. This is a
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
rlicea, and other bowel complaints isexpelled. The result
is, that the disturbance is arrested, and the action of the
bowels becomes regular. Nothing will atop the relaxa
tion of the bowels so quickly as this fine correcting med
icine.
DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS
In all ilismses affecting these organs, whether they
e.crete to much or too little water; or whether they be
il with stone or gravel, or with &ches and pains
settled in the loins over the regions of the kidneys, these
Pills should be taken according to the printed directions,
and the Ointment, should be well rubbed into the small of
tte 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 tot, of the
stomach as these pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned
either be intemperance or improper diet. They reach
the liver and reduce it to a healthy action; they are won•
ilerfully efficacious in caret of spasm—in fact they never
fit in curing ill disorders of the liver and stomach.

"Fear not, for I am with Thee."
ISAIAH MAI! ; 5
BY AL. R. T.
Poor trembling soul, why3uakest thou?
Fear not, for I am with thee;
I'm here to succor, even now,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
Accept my promise, hear my voice,
And let my service by thy choice,
Acquit thy terror and rejoice,
Fear not, for I am with thee.
Oh, if the way of life seems dark,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
Thy pray'rs shall fan that "vital spark,"
Fear not, for I am with thee ;
But, onward, let thy footsteps be,
They from stumbling shall be free,
And as thy faith looks up to me,
Fear not, for I am with thee.
When temptations lure the back,
.
Fear not, for I am with thee;
A thought of me will clear the track,
Fear not, for I am with thee ;
Ththigh they should like mountains tow'r
Round about thee every hour,
Grace shall rob them of their pow'r,
Fear not, for I am with thee.
When trials seem to bear thee down,
Fear not, for I am with thee
Just bear the cross and win the crown,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
Oh, think bow I, my trials bore,
When with nails my flesh they tore,
And for thee, pierced my heart's core !
Fear not, for I am with thee.
Should Sa'an with his host assail,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
My armor, strong, doth e'er prevail,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
With strength sufficient for the day,
Believe my promise, as you pray,
And, onward, Christian, go thy way,
Fear not, for I am with thee.
When thou rapproachest Jordan's side,
Fear not, for I am with thee ;
I'll bear thee safely through the tide,
Fear not, for I am with thee;
If thou faintest in the river,
If its coldness snake thee shiver,
Even then I will deliver,
Fear not, for I am with thee.

'TIS WILL THAT WINS.
BY ISADORE RODGERS
It was evening. The moon had just
risen over the tops of the tall trees that
bordered the shores of a beautiful lake in
the State of Ohio, and sent floods of amber
light over the rippling waters just ruffled
by the gentle breezes of early May. The
notes of a distant whippoorwill waked the
echoes of the grove, and all the noisy noc
turnal songsters that sunny spring wel
comes to happy life,, seemed to vie with
each other iu echoing the chorus of na
ture's grand concert. There was a sound
of dipping oars out upon the lake, and the
clear notes of a flute accompanied by a
chorus of youthful voices came ringing
back across the water to the ears of the
stalwart farmer and his wife who lived
near by, and who stool listening to the
music and smiling at the interludes of
merry laughter borne hack by the wayward
breezes.
"It's a happy time they're having out
there to night., wife," said the good-na
tured and contented tiller of the soil, "and
why shOuldn't they ? All this is pure and
innocent. If all the youth of this broad
land could be supplied with such amuse
ments crime would disappear in a ten-fold
ratio, and remorse and agony of conscience
would cease to follow in the footsteps of
pleasure. The very sound of that music
brings happiness and enjoyment t.) every
one who hears it."
But in this the farmer was mistaken.—
Social distinction upon a false basis had
crept in to mar the rural harmony, and
the merriest, happiest and most hopeful
spirit of them all bad come to grief that
night, and Ina Warren stood alone under
the friendly shadow of a huge maple,
listening to the sound of all this mirth and
jollity, while deep convulsive sobs shook
her slender frame. The tear-stained face
was decidedly pretty. Shining brown hair
fell in wavy tresses about her shoulders,
and on the rounded cheeks were tints of
health's own painting; the rosy mouth ex
pressed the gentleness of her nature, and
not the least of her charms was the in
telligent, determined expression of the
clear blue eyes. She was the daughter of
a neighboring farmer in very moderate
circumstances, but the girl had aspirations
beyond the thoughts of her associates,
dreams of the future which carried her
out upon the great sea of hope, to higher
duties, grander attainments and wider
spheres of action and usefulness than the
narrow limits of her surroundings would
warrant. But what was there to justify
these dreams? Nothing. And young as
she was, she already began to realize that
idle dreaming would never quench the
ceaseless longing, and that prompt, decisive
and energetic action on her own part was
her only hope of ever reaching the land of
her dreams. Up to this time the district
school had been her delight. Ever willing
to profit by the advice of those whose age
and experience entitled them to give it,
she had profited by a maxim given her
by a teacher five years before, which will
be of immense benefit to every young per
son who will adopt it. It was simply this :
"Learn every lesson perfectly," and as a
result, she had mastered all the branches
usually taught in district schools, and now
aspired to a higher school in a neighboring
town. When she first mentioned this
project to her parents it was pronounced
impossible.
"You know, Ina, that I have five
daughters younger than yourself to pro
vide for, and to furnish you with such
clothing as you would need would require
an unjust sacrifice on the part of the rest
of the family," said Mr. Warren.

"Do you suppose that I would accept
such a sacrifice, father ?" asked Ina re
proachfully. "All I ask is your permis
sion to obtain employment in some re
spectable family and I can provide for
myself. I can make myself useful to aunt
Myra when I am out of school, and I am
sure she will let me have a home with her
while I am trying to educate myself."
Her scheme looked rather visionary to
her practical parents, but nevertheless she
car.'•ied the point, and it was while ful
filling her engagement at farmer Robin
son's that the reader is first introduced to
her. She had been subjected to a trial of
which the gentle, sensitive country girl
had not dreamed. While the young peo
ple were preparing to go out on their boat
ing excursion, Harry Robinson, the farm
er's four year old son came into the kitchen
where Ina was setting up the last row of
milk pans, saying :
"I think the girls is just as mean as they
can be."

"Why, Harry," said Ina: "you musn't
talk so, it is wrong to call them mean."
"I don't care, they is mean." said the
little fellow. "Anna Wilson and Agnes
HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1876.
Rathburu said if 'Manda was goin' to ask
hired girls to go along they wouldn't go.
Anna Wilson said that her cousins in the
city never thought of inviting hired help
to go with them, and Agnes said it would
be very improper, and then 'Mandy said
she wouldn't ask you. I'm goin' to tell
father."
"0, no, don't Harry, let us go and look
for eggs before it is too dark," said Ina,
and so she kept him away until the boat
had gone, and then sending him into the
house she went away alone to give vent to
her unhappiness in tears. "How long
must I suffer this ?" she asked herself, as
the girlish figure leaned against the tree
in a perfect storm of convulsive sobs.—
Having wept away the first burst of her
grief and humiliation she reasoned more
calmly. "To give up working here would
be to relinquish all hope of education and
improvement. I cannot do it. I have
done nothing that my conscience does not
approve, and I will persevere." It must
be confessed that thoughts of a certain
pair of dark eyes and a manly youth out
there on the lake, singing with a bevy of
happy maidens where she was not, added
a keener pang to her unhappiness.
"If Herbert Allen slights me for this
he is not so noble as I thought he was,
and I will care.for him no more," she said
resolutely, and then going to the lake she
bathed away the traces of tears and re
turned to the house, and taking up a bas
ket of half-worn stockings she began to
mend then►.
"'What does this mean, girl ? I thought
you were out there with the rest of them,
singing like a whole flock of nightingales.
What are you here fur'?"
`•1'll tell you how it was," said master
Harry, "they didn't want her because she
works for us," and the little one gave his
own version of the conversation that he
had heard.
"You see," said Ina, with a faint attempt
at a jest, "that my occupation debars me
from genteel society."
"Genteel society be hanged," exclaimed
Mr. Robinson angrily. "Do you suppose
that I would have any but a respectable
girl about my house ? and will any one
dare to tell me that living in my family
and doing the same kind of work that is
done by my wife and daughters makes her
less worthy ? There are good reasons why
some people cannot treat persons in their
employ upon equal terms. It is because
their course of action has been such as to
drive respectable people from their service,
but when I employ equals they shall be
treated as such. You have not forfeited
your self-respect, Ina, and earning your
own way, and paddling your own canoe,
will be a feather in your cap that other
girls will have pointed out to then► when
you stand upon an eminence that they
will never attain. As for Amanda, I'll
teach her a different lesson for to-morrow
night."
"Please don't say anything about it, Mr.
Robinson," said Ina, "you know I could
not go if they invited me because they
were obliged to."
When the boat touched the shore, Mr.
Robinson was there. "Come again to
morrow night," he said, "enjoy your rides
while the moon is bright, there is nothing
that gives we more happiness than pro
viding innocent pleasures for the young.
Keep selfishness from your midst and
memory will perpetuate your enjoyment."
And when Herbert Allen stopped just
a moment to say, "Don't disappoint us to
morrow night, Ina, for the enjoyment of
the evening is gone when you are away,"
half her unhappiness had vanished.
On the following evening as the moon
again gilded the waters the boating party
prepared to embark. Amanda had been
detained in the house by her mother, and
Mr. Robinson bade the boys to row once
or twice across the lake and come back for
her.
"You may stay and mend stockings to
night, Amanda," said Mr. Robinson as he
again entered the house.
Amanda looked up in surprise and dis
appointment. "What do you keep me for,
father ?" she asked, while her lips quixered
and her eyes filled with tears of disappoint
ment.
"To let you know how it seems," an
swered the father, quietly taking a paper
and drawing near the light.
Just then the notes of the flute and the
words of the well-known song,
Come over the lake with me, my love,
Come over the lake with me.
came floating back on the evening breeze,
and unable to control her feelings another
moment, Amanda leaned her head against
the casement and sobbed passionately.
"0 don't, Mr. Robinson, I do not feel
badly about it now, and I don't want her
punished for having slighted me," pleaded
Ina
"I kthlw that it would be no satisfac
tion to you, but it is for her own sake
that she is punished," replied the father.
•"But it was not her own idea, it was
another who suggested it," continued Ina.
"It is not my duty to eradicate the sel
fishness from the hearts of other people's
daughters, but I am responsible fur the
training of my own," answered the father
firmly, and both girls felt that farther
words were useless, and for a time there
was a silence broken only by Amanda's
passionate sobs and the strains of music
from the lake.
"Forgive me, Ina," said Amanda, at
length, "I didn't feel right about it any of
the time, and it spoiled my own enjoyment
as wall as yours."
"If you see your conduct in its proper
light it is all I want Amanda," said the
father, "and when they come to this
side again you can go if Ina goes with
you."
Ina begged to be excused, but when half
an hour later, he for whose opinion she
most cared,appeared and joined his entrea
ties with Amanda's she consented to go.
Two weeks later Ina occupied the posl
tion which she so much coveted, only that
of a pupil in an excellent school. Although
she might not wear costly dresses, there
was an indescribable charm about the in
nocent girl fresh from the rural districts,
artless and unsuspecting, amiable and in
telligent, which no art could supply, and
the simple calico of her own earning, and
the modest ribbon that bound her sunny
tresses were in far greater harmony with
her tastes and character than costlier ma
terial which her father would have been
taxed to pay for.
"You will make your mark in the world,
Ina," were farmer Robinson's parting
words. "Only keep a clear conscience, do
your duty and leave the rest to the Great
Ruler of destinies."
Of course such a girl was a favorite with
her teachers. She made them her friends
and they were interested in her welfare.
The fall vacation was occupied as the
spring had been, in earning money to sup
ply her necessities for the coming winter.
This was the last time that sho found it
necessary to enter the service of any fami-
ly. She had risen aboe it. And let me
say to every young person who may be de.
pendent upon his own energies, do not hes
itate to engage in any honest occupation
that may present itself. If you are really
above it, trust my word for it that you will
rise above it, and in no way can you rise
more rapidly than by faithfully performing
even the most trival duties of your occu
pation. _ _
- Through the influence of her teacher
Ina obtained a situation in one of the pri
mary departments where she received am
ple compensation and found time to attend
to her most important studies.
Four years passed away, and in all that
constitutes equality in our country, she
was the peer of any laly in the land. She
had won laurels and fresh tokens of esteem
at every step, and at the grand exhibition
at the close of the last term, when she
stepped upon the stage and took her seat
at the organ and sent its tones rolling,
echoing, vibrating through every part of
the spacious building, until it seemed as
though the hearts of the audience were
held in a trance by the wondrous music,
and then burst forth in a grand, beautiful
and rapturous song, the excitement of the
audience scorned all restraint, but found
vent in a wild deafening applause that
shook the building to its foundation. And
Amanda had whispered to her companion,
"it is glory enough to be her friend."
At the close of the entertainment she
was offered a situation with a salary that
seemed to her like a fortune. And Her
bert Allen who had just returned from
College said, "your ambition is gratified,
Ina; you have won, what need of longer
waiting ?"
"When I have helped wy parents to com
fort and plenty and laid by something for
myself, I will urge no further delay, for to
be settled in a quiet peaceful home of our
own, surrounded by loving friends, will
certainly be my crowning happiness," said
the dutiful girl.
"Provide for your parents if you de-ire
it, Ina; but meanwhile I will be providing
for you, and when you are satisfied that
your duty is done and your parents enjoy
ing all the blessings that your dutiful heart
desires, my home will be waiting for you
to share its plenty."
"And it all came from paddling your
own canoe. If you had waited for oppor
tunities to come to you, you would have
been waiting yet," said farmer Robinson
when he came to congratulate her.

A Desperate Duel
It is now over thirty years since one of
the most remarkable, desperate, and mur
derous duels that ever took place in this
or any other country was fbught in Vicks
burg. One of the parties was formerly a
New York boy, who was a g raduate from
one of the banks. After filling all the
de,,ks of that institution with singular abil
ity, from a collecting clerk up to the posi,
tion of first teller, while still quite a young
man he was appointed cashier of a bank
in Vicksburg, which gave offense and cans•
ed great jealousy among the senior clerks
of that institution, and they took every op.
portunity to oppose and insult hint This
became so marked and unbearable in its
character that the president finally told
the cashier that he must resent it, and
that he would stand by him. lie bad an
occasion soon after to give one of the tel
lers a specimen of his skill in the art of
self defense. This resulted in a challenge
for a duel, which was accepted and fought
after three days of constant pistol practice,
resulting in the death of the teller. lie
had numerous relatives that, ono after
another, came forward to avenge his death,
until four duels were forced upon the cash
ier from the natural consequences of the
first duel, and "still there were more Rich
monds in the field."
A relative of the first victim, an editor
and successful duelist, gave out a threat
that he was coming to town to avenge the
death of his cousin. his great courage
and desperate fighting qualities had been
frequently successfully tried, and were so
well known that something desperate must
be dune to meet the emergency, and if pos
sible to stop any and all future challenges.
The editor arrived in town, and lost no
time in sending his message, which was as
promptly responded to. Early in the
morning of the same day all of the arrange
ments were made for a meeting at six
o'clock the next morning. After making
same necessary arrangements in case of
death, the cashier went to bed, and slept
until 4 A. M., having all this time forgot
the almost worshipful love and devotion of
his wife and only child, who were entirely
ignorant of his desperate enterprise. He
silently kissed them; and then the husband
and faller stole away to attend to the
bloody business that he deemed impertive,
according to the "code et honor," and the
loose morals of the inhabitants in the vi
cinity.
Ile went forth with a firm determina
tion "to conquer or die!" Oa arriving at
the appointed rendezvous, he found a
trench dug six feet deep, two feet wide,
and twelve feet long. Into this double
grave the two principals decended, each
armed with a six shooting navy revol
ver, and having bowie knives, with in
structions to commence firing at the word,
and advance and finish the bloody work
with the knives, if the pistols failed to ac
complish it. At the first shot the editor
was mortally wounded. He drew his knife
and, with the ferocity of a tiger, sprang
forward at his opponent. just as he had
fired his second shot. lie warded off the
blow with his pistol,Jwhich had a deep eut
in it, made by the heavy knife, showing
what a desperate blow had been aimed at
his life by his adversary, who fell dead at
his feet. The cashier's mind was so
much diseased that he could not attend
to business, and, by the advice of his phy
sician, took a vacation and a change of
scene. Ile went to New York, and died
in a lunatic asylum a month after.
Give it to Them Warm.
Here is an anecdote told by IWC minis
r about another. A certain presiding
elder, who was noted for being seldom up
to time, seldom very . animated, and seldom
very brief, once kept a congregation wait
ing a long time for his appearance, and
when at last ho did conic he preached
them a very prosy sermon of unusual
length, on the text, "Feed my lambs."
Ile had not yet finished when that origi
nal old minister known as "Campineeting
John," rose fiom a seat in the congrega
tion, and said : "Brother, I have had some
experience in raising lambs myself, and I
have found that the following rules are
absolutely essential to successful lamb
raising: First give them their food in sea
t on; second give them a little at a time ;
and third, give it to them warm."

THE HOT WEATHER
has hardly set in yet, and the season is de
lightfully propitious for sight seeing in town .
Most of the visitors to the Centeranial feel
it best to see something of New York as
long as they are East. and seem to find it
well worth seeing. When the not 'infre
quent group of out of town people in se
vere traveling snits conies in sight on
Broadway, one is sure to remark under his
breath, "Centennial folks," you ran tell
them a square off The tall indivivual in
a gray mohair duster who is ahead of the
party, takes long steps as if he were used
to hill and dale, while the women in the
invariable brown linen and big veils ding
to him like bees on a bough, and try to
see everything at once es he points it out.
There is a family of this sort on the for
ward end of every ferry boat that ermines
the river from the Jersey side where the
trains come in—they are all brown linen
and satchels, and the man stands over his
valise, and as the boat swings oflf exclaims
enthusiastically, as they behold the Mecca
of their pilgrimage ••.ew York !" and as
they gaze down toward the bay, or up the
broad North River, beautiful with sails

envies the freshness and expansions which
familiar lights create in the new comers.
(IQOD ADVICE To TRAVELERS
It is an object to moat people to spend
as little money as they can this summer,
and I proceed to give a few hints on the
matter, which from one who knows the
city and its facilities. will be of service to
strangers from the West. And the first
word I have to say is, keep out of the ho
tels, and don't hire hacks from public
sta:►ds. New York hotels are neither so
clean, sa comtbrtable, or so reasonable in
charges as Chicago hous.e4. A suite of
rooms, with bath attached, which can be
had at a first class Chicago hotel, like the
Grand Pacific, fur six dollars a day. will
cost double here, and inferior rooms in
proportion. The low.price hotels that ad
vertise rooms for a dollar a day are nasty
beyond description. usually in crowded
neighborhoods, off Broadway and all the
sights, adn not with the best air procurable
even in New York. If you want to see
the city reasonably and comfortably. go
to one of the hotels un the European plan.
about Union Square, and get upper rooms
—that is, on the fifth or sixth story. The
elevators in these houses make these rooms
as easy of reach as tho-c on the parlor
floor, and their airiness and coolness wake
the.:► preferred in summer by all who un
derstand hotel living. Small rooms, as
comfbrtable, and even luxurious, as any in
the house, on these floors. are a dollar
and a half' a day, without meals.—
Remember, in the city system of charges.
a room is never let fur less than twenty
four hours; and is charged for the fame,
whether it is occupied for a night only. or
a night and a day. The restaurants in all
the hotels are abominably high priced, but
you are not obliged to live there. Between
Fourteenth and Eighth streets, on Broad
way, there are several low-priced restau
rants where rairly cooked road natty be had,
and the genuine New Yorker does not
disdain to walk far enough for his meals
to give him an appetite for them.
As for carriages, don't be persuaded to
take any vehicle at the depots but the
street cars. The express companies trans
fer coaches or those belonging to hotels
with the name painted on them. These
will take you to the hotels or other places,
and transport your baggage without swin
dling. If you want a carriage to see the
city, ask at the hotel to have one sent from
a livery stable, and make your bargain he
ferehand for so much an hour, including
all the stops you want, and keep your own
time. A neat coup holding two persons
and a child is furnished at decent stables
for 81,00 an hour t;sr the whole party,
giving leave to stop as often as yon like.
A larger carriage can be had for fron $l.-
50 to 82 00 an hour, taking as many per
suns as you like. The item of cariages
to sec Central Park enters largely into the
bills of visitors. Stewart's store and the
Park comprise the sights of the city to the
rustic mind. As for shopping. the best
place to get handsome silks and laces is in
the large atores, but there are small de.►l
ers between Eighth Street and Fourteenth,
and on Fourteenth Street itself, from
Broadway to Sixth Avenue, well worthy
of patronage, where the prices for popular
goods are decidedly lower than at the large
stores. Indeed, one will not inisa much
advantage either in quality er price who
confines shopping to these limits, all in
easy reach of the hotels on Union Square
But don't be cajoled by any fsahion hook
or newspaper puffs into exploring the re
gions beyond Sixth Avenue in search of
bargains. It dosen't pay to rummage
cheap Jew shops for articles not worth
even the low price charged for them.
Those who wish to see the city leisurely,
would advise not to go to hotels at all, but
try one of the various houses which ad
vertise to take transient boarders. Sever
al of these are found on Lafayette Place,
the quiet, clean broad street one bloek
from Broadway, running from Fourth to
Eighth Stree - s. The Astor Library i 5
this place. The Cooper Union and Mer.
cantile Libraries, and several 11,72 , ,e book
stores are close by, while it is convenient
to stores and the best lines of street cars
Nearly every house on the street it
boarding house, and it is not easy to yo
astray of finding one to suit.
MIME ABOI'T THE CICNTF.NNIAL.
The tide is not setting as stron2ely to
ward Philadelphia as it ought. or as was
expected. The fearful heat of the weather
in Philadelphia, the counter attraction at
Cincinnati, and the rumors of extortion
on the part of those who eater to the
wants of visitors. ail conspire to lessen the
attendance and ensmall the crowd 101
me say to those who are deterred, by fear
of extortion. that it not necessary to
keep away on that account any lonzsr.
The refusal of the people to be swindled
has brought landlords to their senses, and
rates are fair now in Philadelphia. Then.
al. ; ain,the citizens have done nineh to kill
out the thieves. The beat people in Phil
adelphia. seeing that the protession.ll
lodging house keepers and landlords were
injuring the Exposition by their •'stand
and deliver" policy, threw open their
houses to strangers, at reasonable rates.
and left the robbers without victims. You
can get good, comfortable board for from
$6 to $1 1 ) per week with good families ;
and whoever pays more, does foolishly,
unless one cares more for style than f•r
comfort. At that rate any one can afford
to stay in Philadelphia long enough to do
the Exposition thoroughly.
