HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT BAD LEGS, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND ULCERS, All descriptions of sore. are remediable by the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at tempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a fully ; for should the skin unite, &bog gy diseased 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 ulcer, and when these huinors are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water posi t ice§ applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same, and greatly assist the cure. There is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a eovereigc reme dy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore The system to a healthy sta te if the Pills be taken accord ing to the printed instructions. DIPTIIERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERS. Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub bring the Ointment three fitness day into timeliest, throat, and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the month most operate upon the whole system ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do its work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above intoner fur 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 assist the cure of the throat and cheat. 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 all cases of fevers, sore throat, or where there might be an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other PILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURES. The above class of complaints will be removed by night ly fermenting 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 iu 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, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing down. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH;-SORES AND ULCERS Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally cured it the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills taken night and morning, as recommended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry np in one place to break out in another; whereas this Ointment will remove the humor from the system, and leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.— It will require time with the use of the Pills to Insure a lasting cure. DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF JOINTS. Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature, yet they all require local treatment.— Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, 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.

It is Hard to be Poor when it Snows. BY AL. R. THOMPSON. The fire burns bright, In my study to-night, Yet my thoughts I can scarcely compose For memories past, That cling to we fast, Say, 'tie hard to he pour when it Fnows, As I lighted my lamp, A wayfaring Tramp, - - A pieture of wants and ofwoes, With wearisome feet, Was plodding the street, Oh ! 'tis hard to be poor when it snows Scant clothing he had, And his face was so sad, Whilst to his cheek his icy tears froze; As he passed by my door, I thought o'er and o'er, It is hard to be poor when it snows. When with his bare bands, Ile tightened the bands, That supported his poor tattered clothes, I could scarcely refrain, To weep at his pain, Oh! 'tis hard to li . e poor when it snows As onward he trod, I turned unto God, The God who my comfort bestows And there from my heart, Did prayers depart, _ _ . In behalf of the poorwhen it snows , My sympathy groaned, shelter I owned, Poor enough myself "the dear only knows :" Or I'd paid for a hod For his poor aching bead, . . . Oh! 'tie hard to be . poor when itsnows But, such is the lot Of thousands, I thought, And my fancy soon began to disclose Other scenes of the poor, I could scarcely endure, Oh ! 'tie hard to be poor when it snows. That poor •oidow's hut, Behold it is shut, As though her sufrrit,g there to endure; But hoar her deep groans, As the wind sadly moans : Oh! 'tis hard to be poor when it snows, Now. stand back in awe! On that pallet of straw, Her poor, starving babe, the dim rays expose, _. Poor, innocent, sweet! Its blue hands and feet Cry, 'tis hard to be poor when it snows, Oh, hires, look up! Drink deep of the cup Of torment, and your well-deserved woes For here it is true, You never once knew, That, 'tie hard to be poor when it snows Let Laerus tramp, Till death's cold damp, Sends his poor soul to heaven's repose For that pearly gate, Is kept open Fate, To welcome Clod's poor when it snows. 111;:criNunoN, PA., Dec. 20, 1:,713. -.storn-Etittr. PINK CORALS. BY EMMA (;ARRISON JONES, Jinot stood in the glow of the Septem ber sunset, and watched the handsome car riage as it rolled away, her brown eyes were like stars, a flush in her cheeks as vivid as the heart in the summer roses that grew along the hedge. Down the little, winding footpath, lead ing from the bold spur on which the par ish church stood, came her father, the rec• tor of St. Ives. The girl saw him, and the pretty carnation in her cheeks deepen ed. Tossing aside the dainty bit of em broidery she had in her hands, she opened the wicket, and ran to meet him. "Oh, papa, papa !" she cried, catching him by both hands, "I am so glad you have come ' Mr. Arbuthnot bent down and kissed the exciting young face. She was his on ly daughter of the fair, young wife, who had died in the bloom of her sweet woman• hood, and lay buried up there in the little church yard, on the green slope that look ed westward to the Blue Ridge; for our story is a story of the Old Dominion. "Well, my little one, what has happen ed?" he asked, reading the innocent face at a glance. "There's something wonder. ful to tell me, I see ; what is it?" Blushing and dimpling, Janet pointed toward the carriage, which was just enter ing the park gate, at Hardwicke Hall, the great place of the neighborhood. "They've gone only a few minutes sinee, papa," she said, her voice tremulous with happy excitement, "Engine Hardwicke and Lillian. They made me a long visit, and brought me some lovely hot house flow ers. And, oh, papa, Mrs. Hardwicke gives a ball on the 10th, and Lillian came to in vite me. May Igo ?" The old Rector sighed, as he caressed the bright, young head. If only he could see his way clearly ! Eugine Hardwicke was a fine, handsome, young fellow, and for some time had been quite devoted to Ja net. Every other night found him at the quiet old Rectory, and Janet was growing interested in him, and learned to watch eagerly for his coming. If the young man was sincere in his intentions, it would be a fine match for Janet; but youeg men, as a rule, were fickle ! and the match was re ally too great a one to hope for, even for Janet. "Papa, may I ?" "My little girl, I'm at a loss what to say. Hardwicke Hall's a grand place, and there'll be a great many grand folks at the ball. Hadn't my little brown-eyed wren better stay at home in her secure nest ?" "Oh, papa, only for once ! I never was at a ball in my life. But I can dance quite well, for Mrs. Hardwicke said so herself, when I danced at the May party. And" papa, I've saved ever so much money from my embroidery. Why, Margery's got the silver punch-bowl almost full of change ; and I earned every penny. May I get a nice, white muslin, and trim it with mam ma's wonderful old lace? And oh, papa, may I get that set of pink corals we saw at Doffrafield's, in town, the other day ?" Mr. Arbuthnot had never denied his daughter a pleasure in her life, and he could not deny her now. "Yes, Janet, you may get the pink cor als, and you may go to the ball," he said. "You are a good, industrious child, and I can't find it in my heart to spoil your pleasure." Janet kissed him in rapturous delight, and flew back to the house, to tell Margery the good news, and to count over her pre cious earnings. tC 0 a. . "There's just enough, Miss Janet," said the old woman—who was a faithful servant and tender-foster mother in one—when the contents of the silver bowl had been count ed; just enough to buy a nice muslin, and some rose ribbons, and the pink corals.— We'll go down on Wednesday and get them ; and I'll get Miss Pettigrew to come and help us with the flounces. And won't my bairns look sweet ! There'll not be a grand lady at the Hall one-half so pretty." Janet could almost have cried in her in nocent delight. When the sun was down, and twilight fell over the quaint, old house, she went up the hill to the church-yard, ed r gdon as was her custom. Midway the ascent, a tall figure joined her. "It is you, Janet ?" "Yes, Mr. Hardwicke, it is I." Tie took her hand and drew it uuder his m. "I came down to know what your lath. er said, Janet. Are you to come to the ball ?" "Yes, Mr. Ilardwicke, papa says I may." "Ah, that's delightful ! Lillian wants you, and so does my mother ; and I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Janet." "Oh, yes, I know I shall," she answer• ed, simply and frankly. The young man looked down at the sweet girlish face, her eyes full of tender admi• ration. "She such a simple, unpretending lit, tie thing," he thought; "I'd sooner wir her for my wife than the grandest lady ii the world." "I'm sure you'll have a nice evening," he said aloud ; "and I shall come for yet early; so be ready in good time ; and, Ja• net," he added, his voice a trifle unsteady, "one of these days I want you to go to the Hall for good. I love you. dear, and 1 want you to be my wife. Will you ?" The hand on his arm trembled, the bright head dropped. "Have you no answer f)r me Janet ?" "You must ask papa, Mr. Hardwicke." "And if papa says yes, what then ? Oh, Janet, do you care for me at all ? Look up, and let me read my answer in your eyes." The soft brown eyes looked up at him in the autumn moonlight; he read his an swer, and was content. Janet went home, with the first love kiss of her pure life, warm upon her lips. She was too happy to sleep. She sat on the steps, watching the moon sinking down toward the dim, western hills, and listen-! ing to the murmur of the pine trees, long after her father and Margery were in bed. j A step on the gravel startled her and she leaped to her feet with a suppressed cry. "Hush I .Janet, hush T. It's we—Ralph." "Oh, Ralph, you ?" The intruder was pale, haggard, and wild eyed, and his garments threadbare. He was Janet's brother, Mr. Arbuthnot's only son ; the son who had broken his father's heart, and made himself an alien and an outlaw. Yts, despite his evil ways, Janet's tender heart loved and pitied him. She put her arms around his neck, and kissed his ha z ard face. "Poor Ralph, how ill you look What is the trouble now ?" "The oil trouble. I've had awful ill luck, .Janet : The cards have gone against me of late, too. I'm done for. I must get out of the country before the week ends." "Oh, Ralph! and you will not give up cards? And you want money ?" "That's it, Janet. I'm a scoundrel to Come to you in my trouble; but I couldn't see any other way." "You shall have all I've got, Ralph." "You're a good girl, Janet; you always were. I shan't forget you. But you won't tell the Governor that I'm in another scrape ?" "No, Ralph ; it would break poor pa pa's heart. Wait here, and I'll get the money." He sat down under the rose vines; a man whose feet had trod the downward way for years • a son whose name was a forbidden word in his father's house. Ja net brought the contents of the silver bowl, and put it in his hands. "This is every cent I possess, Ralph." "It won't do; I want at least twenty dollars more." She looked at him in direct distress. "I can't ask papa, Ralph, without telling him you were here." "No, no; you musn't go to him. Can't you get it somehow, Janet ? You were al ways so clever." Her troubled eyes brightened. "Can't you come again On Friday I shall get the money for the altar-cloth I am embroidering." Yes, I will come on Friday night. You are a good child, and I'm a rascal to take your earnings. Good night, Janet." She clung to him, her tears falling very fast. "Oh, Ralph ! look up yonder at poor mamma's grave. Ralph, Ralph won't you do better ?" "I'll try, Janet; I will, 'pon honor," he :eplied, with emotion. "Good night." Through the rest of the week Janet worked steadily at her altar-cloth, silent and thoughtful. ' I shan't get the pink corals, or go to the ball, papa. Please don't ask me why," was all she said. And, suspecting her trouble, and per haps suspecting her secret, her father ask ed no questions. The night of the ball came. A glori ous night, the sky like sapphire, a full moon hanging over the blue mountains. Janet had finished the altar cloth, and had the money in her pocket. She thought of the pretty pink corals, and thought she was willing to give them up for Ralph's sake, yet her girlish tears fell like rain. She sat under the rose vines, as the twi light fell, and watched the preparations at Hardwicke Hall. Lights began to flash out amid the shrubbery like fire flies, and the roll of carriage wheels, and the mur mur of voices grew incessant. Just as the first sounds of the brass band shook the summer air, Mr. Hardwicke appeared, a bunch of hot house flowers in his hand. "I told you I should comp early ; and Lillian says you must wear some of these flowers in your hair ;" then he stopped, bewildered and stammered: "But, Janet, you are not dressed." "No, Mr. Hardwicke, I am not going." "Net going ? Why not ?" "There are reasonii which have caused me to change my mind. lam very sorry but—" She stopped short, unable to keep her voice steady. The young man's color bla zed up. "But you gave me your word that you would go," be cried, indignantly ; and you know I had my heart set on it." "I can't help it," she faltered. "At the last moment you change your mind, and disappoint me," he went on, an gry that she did not explain. "I would not have believed it. There is some mys tery here." She made no answer. His anger in creased. "If you change so easily in one thing, you will in another," he continued, exci tedly. "I dont feel safe in trusting you." "Withdraw your trust, then, Mr. Hard wicke." The quiet answer eut him like a keen blade. He threw the hot-house blossoms at her feet, and turning on his heel, strode away. "I was an idiot to act as I did. She looked in trouble, poor little thing! She HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY„TANUARY 19, 1871. He lauglica asort of laugh has some reason she cannot tell, perhaps. I'll go back." And back he started. On the edge of the thicket, which intervenes between the Hall and the Rectory, the sound of voices arrested him. He turned in the direction of the sound, and, clearly recognizable in the white moonlight, he saw Janet. She was hanging fondly on the arm of a tall, bearded man, and speaking with tearful eagerness. _ "Good by, Ralph, darling ! Don't for get my last words." "I won't, Janet." He clasped her close, kissed her again and again, and was gone. All the blood in Eugene Ilardwieke's body went rushing to his brain. lie leaped forward like a madman. "This is why you changed your mind, is it," he cried, seizing the frightened girl by the arm. "You wanted to meet another lover. But I won't be trifled with. No woman living shall play fast and loose with me. Our engagement had better end at once." A little flash lit up Janet's usually dove like eyes. She drew her figure up with dignity. "You have said quite enough, Mr. Hardwicke. Our engagement ends from this minute. Hue is your ring, and I bid you good evening." The following morning dawned cheerless and stormy; but despite the bad weather, at an early hour Lillian Hardwicke drove down to the Rectory. "What is it, Janet ?" she asked, enter ing the little room where Janet sat at her embroidery. "What is the trouble between you and Eugene ? He has gone off this morning, we don't know where. To India, lie says, and forever. But it can't be.— What has happened, dear ?" "Nothing that I can explain, Miss Lil lian. Mr. Hardwicke could not 11.114 me, that was all." And Miss Hardwicke was forced to re turn as she came, wholly unsatisfied. After that the slow years drifted by, dull and uneventful. What a flat affair life is, when sonic cruel blight has swept away all the bloom, and dew sparkle. and left only the dull, bare fields. But Janet did not repine. Like the little brown birds in the hedges, which chirp and flut ter. and keep heart, in the midst of the winter frosts, she was always clieerlul, and her willing hands never tired of work.— And work is the great panacea 14 all human ills. The summer roses bloomed and fell, and winter snows whitened the blue hills, and nothing happened to break the quiet no:ony of life at the old Rectory. One autumn night when it was cold enough to have a blaze in the chimney, .Janet sat sewing, while her father wrote out his sermon for the coming Sabbath.— A sharp rap resounded through the quiet house. "Who can it be that raps so loud and so Fitc?" the Rector, laying down his pen, and going to the door. A tall figure pushed forward. "Father ! Father !" For an instant the old man hesitated, and then be opened his arms, and sobbed out. "My son !" Janet flew to join them. "Oh, Ralph ! Have you come ?" "I've come, little one ; and I've come all right this time. I couldn't forget your parting words. I've never touched a card since. I've tried to do better, and I'm a good bit on the right rode, I hope. But here's an old friend. Don't you know him ? Father, Hardwicke." Mr. Hardwicke entered. Janet's heart beat wildly, but she met him with a serene face and cool brow. "He k nows all," cried Ralph, impetuously, "and he's come for your pardon. Fate threw us together, ont there in India; he caught the fever, and I nursed him ; and one night, when ho fancied he was dying, he told me the whole story of his trouble." "Forgive me, Janet," said Eugene, taking her hand, his handsome eyes telling her that his heart was loyal. "Oh, there's nothing to forgive, Mr. Hardwicke," she faltered, and in another minute she was sobbing on his bosom. Later there were full explanations. "You can't tell how it grieved me to give up the ball," she said, all the pent up pain flowing out of her wounds ; "but I had nothing to wear. I intended to buy a nice dress, and the loveliest set of pink corals. Oh ! Mr. Hardwicke, it grieves me to think of them yet, they were so lovely ; but you see I had to let poor Ralph have the money ?" "You are an angel, Janet," was the reply, "and I deserved every bit of the pain I've endured. I should never have doubted you." "Never doubt me again, dear," she said, softly. On the morrow, when Eugene came again, bringing his sister with him, he put a pretty, jeweled case in Janet's hand.— She opened it, and saw a set of pink corals. "The silly boy traveled all last night to obtain them, Janet," laughed Lillian. Janet said nothing, bather eyes brimmed over ; and a month later, when their happy wedding day came, although Mr. Hard wieke insisted that pearls were proper or naments for a bride, Janet insisted on wearing her Pink corals.—Peterson's Mag azine. .eitti 'ffrlistellany. The Influence of Pictures. A room without pictures in it and a room with pictures differ by nearly as much as a room without windows. Noth ing, we think, is more melancholy, par ticularly to a person who has to pass much time in his room, than blank walla and nothing on them ; for pictures are loop. holes of escape to the soul, leading it to the ot,her scenes and other spheres. It is such an inexpressible relief to some per sons engaged in writing, or even reading, on looking up, not to have his line of vision chopped square off by an odious white wall, but to find his soul escaping, as it were, through the frame of an ex quisite picture to other beautiful and per haps idylic scenes, where the fancy of a moment may revel, refreshed and delighted. Is it winter in your world ? perhaps it is summer in the picture. What a charming change and contrast ! —New York Schoo , Journal.

"Nobody cares fur me, I wirh I e.iuld die," and tears came into the de-tr blue eyes as Willie. saw the happiness all ab , ,nr him in which he knew he eould hate n. share.

Turning away front the bri:hant': lighted entrance he walked s!owly down the street. By the light of a street lamp he stopped to examine his first ehristrna, , gift.

I don't know," he answered with a sob in his voice, "I have no home," ••No home?" Richard Mallet thought of his own palatial residence, of the great wealth, hi, owe, of a little blue eyed boy whom Goal called years ago to the Angel's home, of the wife who left him to go to the same home but a few years later, then looking down into the wistful face beside him, be said in husky tones, "Come home with me, child.

PART 11-1\ AFTER YEAR, "Going down to Sanford's to night, Ashley •.'" "I hail not thought of it," he answered slowly. "But you are invited and you must go. You have seen but very little of Chicago society as yet and the town will be out 1; , ,••• , ' at lawyer San ford's to night, fir you know the party is given in honor of a niece, from Bo,ton, who is visiting there. "11l call fir yin at nine." and Philip Burton left the office An hour later the two young men were paying their respects to lawyer Sanford and lady. Philip, who had been intro duced to the niece several 'lays previously. now presented his friend to "Miss Vernor," Ashley gave a visible start of su-prise at the name. Where had be seen that face From memory's gallery of art th?.re ratite upon the canvass a sweet vision of golden curls ann bird brown eyes. A beggar on the curb-stone and a haughty woman in rich apparel sweepin; by. It was a picture that never grew dim ; he could even now almost hear the sweet voice, ••Little boy, I've no pennies, but I'll give you a kiss:" Louie Vernor Could it 1 ... e his Louie, the Christmas angel, who gave him kind words and a loving kiss on that sail l'hriA rims night Si) many years ago ? The fol lowing day he called with his friend Hor ton at lawyer Sandford's. For weeks he has been a welcome eill(r. 3liss Vernor was no adept in the art of disguise. and though she tried to appear indifferent at times it was in every case a failure. To night she was expecting Mr. Ashley; he had promised to call that evening, and she was impatiently awaiting his arrival. She was standing under the full blaze of the gas light, it fell with a mellow light upon her bright young face ; it gave a golden glitter to the auburn hair, and as Ashley entered, unannounced, he stood fir a mo ment, motionless, gazing with unfeigned admiration upon the pretty tableau. A voice in the hall caused her to tam sud denly and as she met Ashley's admiring gaze the faint pink which crept into her cheeks but increased her loveliness, and Ashley taking her hand, said: ••Miss Vernor, you gave me a Christmas gift twelve years ago, and to night I am come to ask for another. - She looked up in wondering astonishment as he continued : "You have forgotten the range l stranger. but. he has not forgotten you. 0 ! Louie. may I choose my Christmas gift this time ? I want you, the little girl whose memory has been a talisman against evil during all these years. It was the first kiss you gave me, twelve years ago to night, that has made me what I am." lie took from his pocket the little portemonsie and showed her the card enclosed. A light broke over ' face and she would have spoken hut Ailey continued: -The little boy has o need for the pennies now, but be is just as hungry for the kisses as he was then ; he wants the little girl who gladdened his heart that never-to-be-forgotten Christmas night. Could she learn to love him do you think ?" With all her old-time childish impulse she put op two white arms and a pair of ripe red lips and gave Willie Ash ley his second Christmas Kid.•.
