HEALTH AND ITS PLEASURES, - OR - ' DISEASE AND ITS AGONIES: CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. NERVOUS DISORDERS. What is more fearful than a breaking down of the nor' vous system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de gree is most destressing, for where can a remedy be found? There in one:--drink but little wine, beer, t r spirits, or fir better, none; take no coffee,—weak tea being prefera ble ; get all the fresh air you can ; take three or four Pills every night eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of Hipps; anti if these golden rules are followed, you will he trippy In mind and strong in body, and forget you have tiny nerves. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS, If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so famous, it is their purifying properties, es pecially their power of clenh mg the blood from all im purities, and removing dange r ,nv and anwentled were tione. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy 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 ark.) from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed prespi. ration, or from eating and drinking what is unfit for us, thus disordering the liver and stomach. Thew organs must be regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if takes according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a healthy action to both li.erand stomach, whence follow, as a Worst: coneeqence, a good appetite and a clear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any oilier medicine is ever used for these disorders. HOW TO BE STRONG Never let the bowels be confined or unduly acted upon. It may appear singular that Holloway's Pills should be recommended for a run upon the' bowels, many persons supposing that they would increase relaxation. This is a great mistake, however; for these Pills will immediately correct the liver and ski, 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 sad strength following as a matter ofcourse. The appetite, too, is woadertally 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 rioca, and other bowel complaints is expelled. 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 se quickly as this fine correcting med icine. DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS in all &name affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water ;or whether they lge aillicti-t1 with stone or gravel, or with aches 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,ihould be well rubbed Into the small of the back at bedthee. This treatment will give almost Im mediate relief when all other means have failed. • FOR STOMACHS OUT OF ORDER.

Winter Winds. BY AL. R. THOMPNON. Howl on, ye fierce, cold, wintry wind, In fury o'er the hills and plains, Till e'en the lofty pine tree bends Before thy wild, unyielding strains. Pierce to the core yon sturdy oak, Which, in defiance, without a cloak, Dares thee to chill his naked trunk Or rend the fibres of his heart— A heart that ne'er from tempests shrunk, Though oft it felt its rootlets start. Shriek through these maples, 'reft of leaves, And whip to death each gentle twig— For well it seems thy spirit grieves To find live buds on every sprig. Thou wintry fiend, rage on, rage on ; Thou'rt ne'er so welcome as when gone: Go then, thy way, thy force increase Thy fury waste wherc'er you will, But I demand thee now to cease Thy raging on Ursinus hill. 0, disobedient element ! Thou mockest at a mortal's sway— A sway that lightning's powers prevent, Must shrink from thee in wild dismay ! Go then, thou harbinger of death, And with thy quick congealing breath, Bind up the brooks and larger streams With mirrors of unyielding ice,— And with the breath of him who dreams, Trace on his panes some weird device. Go, pierce the polished marble halls, Where Opulence in comfort lies, Submerged in down and deaf to calls Of Poverty's heart-rending cries; There penetrate his genial couch, And cause him closer yet to crouch, Shivering from thy chilling blight, Beneath his pond'rons lair of clothes ; And there maintain thy frosty fight, Till thou bast left him almost froze. Thus to his morbid sense reveal. The keenness of thy icy dirt, Then, if thou canst not make him feel Within his mammon-coated heart, That he is flesh, and nothing more, Nor better than the suff'ring poor, Who yield beneath thy stiffening breath, For lack of what he has not need : Then chill him to the seat of death And hie him to his proper mecd. Then let him plead thy chilling blast, To cool the sea of melted gold In which he wallows, fettered fast As it was griped by him of old : Howl o'er his head in horrid moans, Commingled with the painful groans Of dying mortals—sons of earth— Wfio lacked the surplus of his clothes And food ; whilst he, in wanton mirth Heard not their cries nor felt their woes, Haste on, ye winds, stop not to tell Of horrors that we can't endure ! Go, go ; alas ! we know too well, Thy cruel dealings with the poor! Oh, couldst thou but thy spirit ease, And gently as an autumn breeze, Pass o'er the souls by want distressed : Thou, as a Send, wouldst not be loathed, As thou art now, with death possessed, For all who arc not housed and clothed ! Blow on;blow on; Eternal hands Do guide thee with All• Powerful reins, Ile will preserve his tender lamb• ill JpiLe ur nit Lily pier'Aug pains And at his edict: "Peace be still" Thy fury must obey his will. Then, howl, ye winds, in fiercest form Till be thy raging fury calms ; For he will temper well the storm To be endured by his shorn lambs. HUNTINGDON, Pa. Dec. 30, 1816. E4e *tory-Etiltr. AN AFFAIR OF HONOR. Fur five and forty years I had borne the name of Peter Smith. Though you have never heard of me, I flatter myself that my family name will be familiar to you. lam quiet in my habits, and I be lieve, not disposed to interfere with the rights of other men; yet even this did not avail to save me some ten years since from becoming involved in an affair of honor.— Let me tell you how it happened. At the time of which I speak I was an inmate of Mrs. Jones' family. I use the word advisedly, since it was well known that Mrs. Jones never took boarders. In fact, she expressly gave me to understand that her only inducement in taking me was the pleasure she expected to derive from my society; that she was far above mercenary considerations. Of course I felt flattered by the compliment thus in sinuated, though I confess I was somewhat surprised, since all mercenary considera tigns were disclaimed, to be charged a higher rate for board than I ever paid.— Still I did not demur, feeling certain that I bad at length found a home. Let me describe Mrs. Jones, my hostess. Physically speaking, she came of a great family, her proportions being most aris tocratic. In her demeanor towards me she was always very gracious and condo scending for which I felt properly grateful. She always came to the table arrayed in a stiff satin ; the very rustle of which be trayed her consequence, and impressed me with my comparative insignificance. Mrs. Jones has a daughter, by name So phronia. In external appearance she was quite unlike her parent, being exceedingly tall and slender, while the other was short and dumpy. In a copy of verses which she was kind enough to show me, some enthusiastic young man had the temerity to call her a sylph. Ido not know much about sylphs, never having seen one to my knowledge; but I question much whether sylphs have red hair, or noses with an up ward tendency. I have my doubts also as to whether sylphs squint. Still lam far from denying that Miss Fophronia Jones was a sylph, since that belief evidently af forded her satisfaction. ! ix! ' "01 0 Mrs. Jones' table was admirably adapted for a valetudinarian. There he would find no dishes of unwholesome richness—noth ing indeed that was calculated to induce excessive eating. If, as some physicians have decla:ed, health is best preserved by rising from the table with an appetite, I was never in a fairer way to secure its blessings than when enjoying the genteel insufficiency of Mrs. Jones' hospitality. About a month after my arrival conver sation turned at the dinner table, upon a concert which was to be given the same evening by Signora Falfalini. I have a poor memory for Italian names, but this is the name, to the best of my recollection. "I wish I could go, ma," said the fair Sophronia. "So you could, my dear," replied Mrs. Jones, "if you had a gentleman protector." Thereupon she began to disclaim against the customs of society which preclude a lady's attending a place of amusement without a gentleman, lamentinc , ' that So phronia had on this account been more than once debarred from gratifying her exquisite taste in music. c a .~ Of course I could not in politeness re frain from offering my escort, although I should thereby be prevented from attend ing the weekly meeting of the club of which I was a member. HUNTINGDON, PA , F. Sophronia was in great confusion and she could not think of troubling me. .-- - 17Zgan to hope that she would not, but the mother quickly silenced all scruples by saying that she was a silly girl—thirty five if she's a day—and that she must not think of refusing. Sophronia made no other objections and I had the pleasure of paying a high price for a couple of tickets. Nature not having bestowed on me a musical ear, I con' enter but indifferently into the rapture of my companion who pronounced Signora Falfalni's singing di vine, although she considered her quite devoid of personal attractions. The signora being built after the same model as So phronia, I quite agreed with her in this bit of criticism. "Do you know," simpered my compan ion, confidingly, "I have myself thought at times that I was designed fur a prima donna or an opera singer like Signora Fah "Then why do you not become one ?" I inquired. "Because ma has such an objection to anything of a public character. She felt that I should be demeaned by so doing, and advised me to content myself with contributing to the gratification of my friends at home. You have never heard me sing, I think ?" I had at times heard a shrill voice, in a very high key, as I sat in my room, which had struck me as far from agreeable. I thought it best, however, without me►ition ing this, to utter a simple negative. "You must not expect much," c. - intinued Sophrouia ; "my voice is rough and un cultivated. Ma is always telling me that I ought to devote more attention to it; but I can never sing except when inspira tion seizes me. If you will come in to morrow evening I will sing to you, if you would like." I expressed my thanks for this disin terested kindness, and, as the concert was finished, proceeded to escort the lady home. As we were making our way through the crowd, it chanced that some one, ac cidentally or otherwise jostled my com panion. She immediately seized my arm convul sively, and informed me that she had been insulted. "Who did it ?" stammpred I; for I con fess my courage is not of Ehe highest order. In reply Sophronia pointed out a small gentleman with a fierce moustache, who was standing at a little distance. Mentally deciding that it might not be prudent to have an altercation with such a person, I hastened to assure myCom panion that it might have been an accident. "No," said she, very decidedly. "It was not an accident.. It was intentional. wish you to demand an apology in my name." "Don't you think it would be better," said I, in great embarrassment, to treat it with silent contempt ?" Sophronia was by no means of opinion. Acc:ordingjy I appro ached t h . who appeared mil more for midable on a nearer view, and asked in what was intended to be a resolute tone, "what be meant by insulting the lady under my charge ?" "Sir- r-r !" he ejaculated, wheeling sharp ly around. I repeated my request in a fainter tone, and suggested that I trusted it was acci dental on his part. Stroking his moustache very fiercely, he informed me that he had no explanation to make ; that if I wished to hear from him at any time, I should have an opportunity, and forthwith presented his card. With out stopping to look at it, I slunk away in the crowd and soon reached home. My companion intimated that she sup posed I should seek satisfaction in the usual way. I said something indistinctly—l am not sure exactly what—and very thankfully took leave of the fair Sophronia in the entry. Reaching my chamber I exlmined the card which had been placed in my haul and fOund inscribed thereon the name of Captain Archilles Brown, Astor house.— Very probably he was distinguished by the same qualities which characterizal his great namesake, and it made me shiver even to think of a conflict with him. Re solving that I would at least take every possible means to avoid it, I went to, bed and sank into a slumber disturbed by frightful dreams, in which I fancied my self shot through the heart by the terrible Archilles Brown. Early next morning, while in the mo mentary expectation of hearing the break fast bell, I was startled by a knock at the door. Immediately afterward entered a tall man, "bearded like a pard." He intro• clued himself to me as a cousin of Sophro nia, and intimated that, having heard of my difficulty of the previous evening, he had come to offer his services as my second. Thanking him for his kindness, I said that I had not as yet decided to call out the gentleman in question. "Not yet decided ?" repeated my visitor, springing to his feet, causing me thereby to recede two paces in some personal ap prehension ; "not yet decided ! But per haps I do not understand you." I intimated rather uncomfortably, that I had conscientious scruples against the practice of the duello. Conscientious fiddlesticks," interrupted my visitor• "Sir, you must fight. There is no alternative. A lady has been in• stilted while under your protection. The lady is my cousin. Unless you take notice of it, I must. . . "But you have no quarrel with Captain Brown," I, said. "You misunderstand me," said he, gravely. "Unless you challenge Captain Brown, I shall understand it as a personal disrespect to my cousin, and shall challenge you. Choose which of us you will fight." "This was said so resolutely that 1 suc cumbed at once. I reflected that, while there was equal danger to be incurred in a duel with my visitor, there would be less credit. "Shall I write the missive ?" inquired my companion, who called himself . Lieut. Enstace. "Yes," said I, frankly. He sat down at my desk, and in a few minutes produced the following : "SIR : You grossly insulted a young lady, while under my protection, last even ing. As a man of honor, I call upon you for an ample apology, or for the usual sat isfaction accorded in such cases. I send this by Lieutenant Eustace, who is author ized to act as my friend. Yours, etc., PETER SMITII. "Captain Anilines Brown." Having signed this with some mis givings, I inquired as to the character of Captain Brown. "I don't know much about him," said my friend, "but I suppose he is a regular fire-eater." This was satisfactory—very. tIDAY, J A NUARY 26, IS7 -Suppo,, , ," said I, in a trtioulous "you erase the word -ample' beiZme 'apolo gy.' I consider apology sufficient." "But I shall not." was the lieutenant's emphatic reply. _ _ There N 93; no more to be said. He de parted with his missive; and I was left in no very enviable frame of mind. On his return, "Has lie apologized ?" I inquired eagerly. "Nut a bit of it," was the reply ; he vows that he will shed the last drop of his blood first." "What a sanguinary monster lie must be," was my internal reflection. "The meeting is appointed t;pr row morning, an hour before sunrise," re sumed the lieutenant. It is to take place at Hoboken; weapons, pistols; distance, fifteen paces." "Isn't that rather near ?" I ventured to remark. "Near? Of course you want it near. You will be more likely to hit your man." "And he will be more likely tb hit me," I replied. "Of course," was the reply. "You must take your chance of that." I could not help wondering whether he would be so cord about it if he were the principal, and I the seciud. In fact, I have always observed that seconds are much more scrupulous about the honor of their principals than they are disposed to be about their own. I think it altogether likely that I should make a fierce second. "I suppose you are used to pistols?" re marked my friend. Used to pistols' I remember once having fired one as a boy, to the im . .ninent danger of my little sister's lire. since then I had not had one in my hands. As I strolled out into the streets in an unhappy frame of mind, a newsboy thrust into my hand a daily paper, which I me chanically bought. Glancing over the col umns, I observed that a boat was advertis. ed as about to start that day for Havana. The hour of departure was Ibur in the af ternoon. A sudden thought struck me. Would it not be much better to embark for Cuba than to remain behind to be shot ?—a result which the state of my nerves and my want of practice with the pistol rendered altogether probable. With new-horn alacrity, I immediately rep-aired to the boat, and demanded to see the agent. Ile informed me that the boat would positively start at the hour indica ted. I asked to see the list of passengers. Bunning my eyes casually down thelist, my heart beat quickly as they fell upon the last name. Could it be possible that my opponent, Captain Archilles Brown, had secured passage ? What could be his mo tive ? "When did this gentleman book his name as a passenger?" I inquired. "Not half an hour since." "Did he understand that tho boat start ed to day ?" "Yes, be made partieulor inquiries on - th.a. point." "*ill you describe him to me ? Is he tall ?" "Yes, quite so." "And has a black moustache ?" "Yes." "A dark complexion and wears a large cloak ?" "Precisely. You know him then ?" "Very slightly," said I carelessly. "By the way, I don't think I shall be able to get away fur a week. I won't engage to day." "We would give you good accommoda tions." "No doubt of that. On the whole, you need not mention to Captain Brown that any one inquired for him." My heart bounded with exultation, as with some difficulty I realized that my op ponent, whom I had dreaded so much was about to lease the country from fear of en countering me. 'IMAa joke that was I laughed all the way home, though I endeavored to pre serve my gravity. On the way home I purchased a brace of pistols, which I osten tatiously displayed on reaching my board ing house. "To think you should risk your life for me," simpered the fair Sophronia. "Miss Sophronia," said I, with suitable fierceness, "no one with impunity shall in sult a lady while under my protection. During a portion of the afternoon I prac ticed shooting at a - .nark, and was never more lively than at the tea-table. Lieuten ant Eustace, who was present, seemed con siderably surprised at the change in my de meanor, and was evidently puzzled to ac count for it. After tea I invited the company to wit ness my will, which I had drawn up for the sake of producing an impression. It proved a master stroke. I noticed that Lieutenant Eustace treated MC with in creasing respect while Sopfironia repeated several times under her breath, but loud enough for me to hear "Brave man !" All this I enjoyed, and took the oppor tunity toseverely discourse upon the sacred ness of honor, in defence of which I assert ed that any man ought to be willing to lay down his life. In the course of the afternoon I had the pleasure of witnessing the sailing of the Ariel, with Captain Brown on board. Whether this circumstance had anything to do with inspiring in me these elevated sentiments, I leave the reader to judge. The next morning, at an early hour, proceeded to the field with my second. Captain Archilles Brown was nowhere to he seen ! I professed a great deal of disappoint ment, and insisted on waiting three hours to allow him to appear. Of course it was in vain. All, however, testified to the re markable courage which I displayed under the circumstances, and I was tendered their congratulations. The affair found its way into the papers, and I found myself all at once elevated into a hero. I could not walk Broadway without being furtively pointed out as the celebrated duelist.— Among the ladies. particularly, I became an object. of great attraction—a circum stance that may well excite surprise when it is considered that myonly claims to their regard lay in my having been implicated in an affair which the moral sense of the community condemns. Soon afterward I left my boarding place, to the great regret of the fair Sophronia. I afterward learned that, had I shown the white feather, it was arranged that Lieu tenant Eustace should force me into a mar riage with his cousin, on pain of a duel with himself. The extraordinary show of courage which I exhibited imposed upon him to such an extent that he did not think is advisable to offer the alternative lest I should accept the duel. I have heard nothing of Capt. Archilles Brown since the memorable day on which he did me the service to sail for Cuba.— llad he possessed a little more courage, I shudder to think what thight have been the result. *tied Victoria's Crown jewcl3 The Inirrial crown or the ibeen of • England, which she wears fPn state slims, is perhaps the c Keid dre..4 worn by any s,verein in tlie w,r1,1.

TILL 3FIOCKINII ACCII , ENT f•X RI'AY POrlillK EEPSIF A special dispatch from Poughkeepsie says: The shocking accident tr. two trot • ting horses on South avenue, yesterday af ternoon, has scarce a parallel in the annals of fast driving accidents. During the en tire sleighing this winter South avenue, from the Soldier's Fountain to a point a mile beyond. has been the accepted trot ting ground of the city, and every fine af ternoon hundreds of people have assembled there to witness the trials of speed. The trotters Silas Rich, .Joe Petit, Pondietta, Alida, and others, composing the private stock of the city, have appeared tnere al most daily for sharp contests. The cou r s e has, at times, been much crowded with trotting horses that the frequent narrow escapes from collisions have made the dri vers reckless, and such an accident as t hat ofyesterdai has been predicted for week. The day's sport was nearly over, and forty or fifty trotters were making their last "spurts" at about 5 1.. 3t. Both sides of the avenue were lined with people watch ing the sport, when suddenly the cry of "There they come :" was heard, and, look ing up the avenue, the trotting horse Silas Rich, driven by M. Cunningham, a fast trotter driven by Lemon Ifoldridge. crockery merchant of this city. and a third trotter driven by Richard Titus. were eeen coming down Leek arid neck at terrific speed, each striving to get the lead. They cleare 1 the level along Eastman Park like whirlwind, and with safety; bitt as they attempted to turn the slight curve oppo site the late .Judge Dean's plaee. they met another trotter coming along at a rattling gait, and driven by Charles Phelps his owner. A terrific collision was ignmirwnt between the Phelps and Holdridge horses. and, seeing that it could not be avoided. the bystanders turned their heads from the sight wee a thrill of horror. The "come together" was awful. As quick as lightning the end of the chill of Mr. 1101- bridge's slei7h entered the breast of Mr. )'helps' horse to the depth of ten inches. and the poor animal died without a groan, for the shaft had pierced his heart. At the same time the end of the thill of Mr. Phelp's sleigh penetrated the flank and breast of Mr Iloldrid ,, e's horse. and that animal, bleeding frightfully, died in two minutes. By the force of the collision Mr. lloldridge was hurled out of his sleigh on his horse. Mr. Iloldridge's animal was valued at $1,500, and Mr. Phelps' horse, formerly known as the "West horse." at $l,OOO. This ended the trotting for the day on the avenue. and most likely for the season. A MAIN man bas sued a paper for slan der fur calling him an indefatigable genius, and a local paper says a jury ha 4 awarded him 5212 damages. - Fro. and the L:l'athoule Ip . • ;., _: hrni.4 ;lat. at tor,:h!. ar.• iekath 3initrat the I:lnv.:us t4e. ...ir rva.t aelf thAt T 1 In .Ipri: r;,.• 6i , 4 •w••••= :is I ; r;t•• •rirorl...
