[ap19,71 Miscellaneous 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.

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. +z , ~* cc 0 , "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." C C. eo oe "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. tlect Piste'lan. 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.

(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.
