The Testimony of the Whole World. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. DAD LEIS, BAD BREASTS, BORES AND ULCERS. All descriptions of sores 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 togetb,r is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog gy diseased condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and succossful 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 off from the bard, swol len and discolored parts round about thin wound, sore, or ulcer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water pout ices applied over the affected parts, afar 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 ewelltng, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this (hutment is urgently recommended as a sovereign reme dy. In curingsncb poisonous sores it never fails to restore the system to a healthy state if the Pills be taken accord ing to the printed instructions. D I PTHER lA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERS. Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub bing the Ointment three Omega day into the chest, throat, and neck of the patient, it will moon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the month must 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 manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest add 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 chest. To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten rills 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 Causes. 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 in arresting theitprogress. lt should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in for a 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 Ointrikent, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be a genera' bearing down. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH;-SORES AND ULCERS Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally cured if 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 up 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 STINT 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. Both the Ointntent and Pills should be Wed in the follow ing Cases: Bad legs, Cancers, Sore Nipples, Bat Breasts.

Oh, when my righteous Judge shall come, To fetch his ransom'd people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, So sinful and unfit to die, Be found at thy right hand ? I love to meet among them now, Before Jehovah's feet to bow, Though viler than them all ; But who can bear the piercing thought, What if my name should be left out, When he for them shall call ? Dear Lord, prevent it by thy grace ; Oh, let me see thy smiling face, In this my gracious day. Thy pardoning voice, oh let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear; Nor let me fall away. Among thy saints let me be found, Wben'er the archangel's trump shall sound To see thy smiling face. Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, Till heaven's resounding mansions ring. The riches of thy grace. *OR of* Mar. THE RESCUE. During the last years of the w;:r I was serving in the capacity of petty officer on the United States ship of war Essex.— Some time during the month of March, 1865, and while we were lying at our sta tion at Memphis, Tennessee, it was my fortune to be an eye-witness of one of the most terrible calamities pen ever attempted to describe. I refer to the burning of the steamer Sultana, caused by the bursting of her boiler from being overloaded, she hav ing on board at the time twenty three hundred and sixty soldiers, all of whom had just been released from Confederate prisons. These poor fellows, as it were, almost in sight of their long lost homes, were hurled without a moment's warning to a terrible death. There were also on board forty passengers, men, women and children ; and beside this immense load of human beings, her boiler deck was crowded with horses and mules. I first saw the Sultana as she rounded the point below Fort Pickering, in plain view from our deck, and she presented the appearance of an immense moving mass of human beings ; it seemed as though every fJot of space, from her hurricane deck down, was crowded. She was loudly cheered by crowds of people who lined the wharves and levees. She steamed up by us, slowly, and tied up alongside of a coal barge, just above where we were moored. It being early in the evening, and I having business ashore, I thought no more of her for several hours. I remained on shore until near eight bells (midnight), and as I noticed that she was still there, I could distinctly bear the merry song of the roustabouts, as they trundled the coal on board, mingled with the merry making of the soldiers. Ah, little thought they of the terrible doom that was soon to befall them ! I biting my hammock in the port gang- way, it being .the river side Of the ship, and was soon fast asleep. It seemed to me, however, that I had scarcely closed my eyes when I was awakened by a confusion of sounds and discordant cries, that seemed to come from the river. starting up, I distinctly beard the words: "My God, help !" and I supposed of COUTAC that some unlucky sailor had fallen overboard.— About this time the shrill pipe ofthe boat swain's whistle sounded through the ship, accompanied by the hoarse call : "Turn ont all hands ! Man the boats !" and be fore I could get on deck all the boats had been manned and shot out in the murky darkness, it being impossible to see any thing a cable's length ahead; but a more appalling scene can hardly be conceived. The river seemed to be alive with drowning men, some praying for assistance, some cursing the fate, which, after a day or two of liberty, had condemned them to a hor rible death. others shrieking aloud in agony, while ever and anon you coula hear the last gulp of some miserable wretch as he, screaming for assistance, sank to rise no more. A few words from the officer of the deck told the whole story. The Sultana left the coal barge about two o'clock in the morning, proceeding on he: way up the river ; and just after rounding the point, some five miles above the city, her boiler exploded, and she had taken fire and was burning up. Just at this time the captain, who had been awakened by the confusion, came out of his cabin and demanded an explanation as to its cause. A few words made the necessary explanation. He instantly de manded if the boats had all been sent out. I told him they had, with the exception of the first launch. This boat was a large, unwieldy craft, carrying twenty oars and a brass twelve pounder swivel gun amid ships. She had no regular crew, and was used principally for picket duty. The in stant the captain ascertained that she - had Lot been sent out, he ordered me to nrm her at once, take command, and pull out to the rescue. Now, although this was not in my line of duty, I promptlyre sponded, and soon succeeded in picking up a motley crew of cooks, stewards, cabin boys, and idlers. But a great difficulty to our further progress here presented itself. The launch was lying between the ship and shore, and forward of the stern line, which was drawn taut, at a point just above the water line, and all our attempts to get the unwieldy launch under it were vain. Here, again, the authority of the excited captain solved the problem ; he discovered our dilemma, and shouted, at the top of his voice, "Cut the line and pull away." An ex was soon found, and the immense hawser lopped off; and we soon found ourselves drifting toward the Gulf' of Mexico. The crew being unused to pulling an oar in concert, were unable to hold her stationary on the river, the cur rent being very strong. We managed, however, to bring her to a stand-still at a point nearly opposite to Fort Pickering. Ordering the men to hold her stationary, bow up stream, I took my station forward so as to be able to assist any who might come in contact with us ; and the reader may judge something of the number of persons in the water from the fact that thirty-five were taken out by us in two hours. And right here begins the coincidence which I started out to relate. It was now broad daylight ; we had been twice ashore with cargoes of living freight, both to lighten our load and to give those that were rescued a chance to warm themselves by the large fires that bad been built all along the shore. • Upon resuming our sta tion the third time, near the middle of the stream, I saw floating toward us what HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, FEBRUARY '2, 1877. was evidently the head of a lady just above the water ; all the support she had was the side casing to a state room door. As she came up to the bow of the boat, I seized her and drew her aboard; she murmured a faint "My God, I thank you !" and im mediately became insensible. She was so benumbed with cold that her form was perfectly rigid ; the sailors immediately proffered round jackets and overshirts, in which I wrapped her until we could pull her ashore and deliver her into the bands of the Sisters of Charity. Soon after we were towed by a gunboat to our own ship, and I heard nothing more of the lady un til afternoon, when I received word by a messenger boy that a lady wished to see me at the Overton hospital. I repaired thither immediately, and found the woman we had rescued lying od a cot, in a very feeble condition, but tenderly cared for.— She poured out her thanks for her deliver ante, but mourned deeply for her husband and little girl, with whom she was on her way up the river. They were from Texas on their way North. She said her hus band had four thousand dollars in gold concealed about his person, and never could have kept afloat any length of time. Her little girl the had not seen since going to bed in her state room. When she was awakened by the explosion she found her self alone iu her room, and rushed out into the cabin, where the utmost confusion pre vailed. The fire was already sweeping aft, and driving hundreds into the river; and her only escape from a lingering death by fire was to jump into the river ; already a 'surging mass of drowning horses, mules, men, women, and children. What a leap for a fragile woman ! But desperate as it was she must make it. Thrice she had secured a partial support, in the shape of a door or bale of goods, but was each time rudely thrust aside by strong men, frantic with terror. At last she secured the lit tle bit of board, which was her only sup port until taken out of the water some three hours afterward. God only knows what that woman suffered in those hours of ter rible agony. Bereft of husband, child, fortune, everything gone, and nothing but a frail piece of board between her and death. The scene in the hospital was heartrending. A large portion of those rescued were so badly scalded, or otherwise injured, that they were in extreme agony, and afterward died. Out of twenty five hundred souls on board there were about three hundred saved alive. I called upon the lady two or three times during the succeeding week, each time finding her a little stronger, but mush depressed in spirit from the dark prospects for the fu ture. Ten days after the calamity I was stand ing near the steamboat landing watching a tin-clad as it slowly rounded to and made fast to a wharf boat. As soon as the gang plank was thrown out a man sprung ashore with. a little girl in his arms. He ap proached the spot where I stood, and judg ing from my uniform that I belonged to the navy, addressed me, inquiring if I knew whore the survivors of the Sultans calamity were. I told him that I did, upon which he asked me with trembling lips, if there were any ladies saved. told him there were, and, suspecting his identity, asked him if his name was not Ennis. Gud yel," said be, grasping my hand. "Then, sir, your wife is alive and well." The reader can better imagine his joy than I can describe it. "And this," slid I, "is your little girl." He answered in the affirmative, and as we proceeded toward the hospital told me his singular story. On the night of the accident, he had taken his little girl from the stateroom into the cabin to procure for her some water. Not finding any in the after part of the cabin, he left her there and went forward. When- fbrward to explosion occurred ; the boat parted in the centre, and thus separated him from his wife and child in the moment of their direst peril. Being a strong swimmer he kept himself' afloat in the vicinity of the wreck, and just as he had secured for him self a door, some white object dropped in to the water within four feet of him. He immediately grasped it with a wild hope, that was gratified at once. It was his own darling baby, who had been thrown over board, to save her from the fire, by Edwin M. Safford, a member of the Tenth Indiana Cavalry. This Safford was saved by our boat, and was my guest on the Essex for three days after the accident; and from his description of. the little girl I had recognized them so readily at the steam boat landing. Mr. Ennis ke?t, himself afloat by means of the door until lie reached a point some ten miles below Memphis, where he was rescued by an old colored man Trim lived on an island near by. who took them to his cabin and nursed them through five days of delirious insensibility. Upon regaining his mind, Mr. Ennis hailed the first boat bound up stream, and was taken on board and brought. to Memphis, where he landed with the faint hope of finding out something in regard to his wife. Ten minutes walk brought him to the Overton hospital ; the meeting that followed I shall not attempt to portray.— The entire family were reunited. Mr. Ennis had saved his money, and ten days afterward they took passage on a steamer for Cairo. Emperante. REMARKS OF REV.. F. B. RIDDLE, Delivered before the Temperance Con vention, in the Presbyterian Church, Huntingdon, on the Evening of December 28th, 1876, It was said by a member of the English Parliament, in the discussion of the tem perance question, that the remedy for drinking was to quit drinking. Total ab stinence seems to be the only proper rem edy, and this, so far as the theory is con cerned, is not questioned. The investiga tions of science and the experience of man kind point to this great truth as a well es tablished fact, and scarcely any one is dis posed to dispute it, yet there are those who, while they regard it as proper and expedient to abstain from intoxicating li quors, maintain that it is not enjoined in the Bible. Now, we would only say "to the law and to the testimony, and if we go not ac cording to this word, it is because there is no light in us." The Bible says : "look not upon the wine when it is red ; when it giveth its color in the cup; when it moveth itself aright; at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." I would say that it is a very strong total abstinence injunction. We are forbidden even to look at the wine, let alone to taste it. It says in this connection : "Who bath woe; who hath sorrow; who bath contentions; who hath babblings ; who bath redness of eyes ? They that tarry long at the wino ; they that go to seek mixed wine." This seems to be a very clear and emphatic warning against mixed wine, which is here declared to be intoxicating wine. Again, the Bible says : "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and he that is deceived thereby is not wise,"—not the excessive use or abuse of it, but the wine itself is a mocker, and those that in dulge in the drinking or sale of it, or are under the influence of it, that man or that woman is not wise. It is said "woe to him that giveth his neighbor drink, that maketh him drunken." Now it seems that these arc very clear and emphatic warnings against strong drink. And wine is spoken of as- being the "venom of asps, and the poison of dra gons." That is also very emphatic lan guage in regard to this destructive bever age called wine. 1 But then it is said there are passages of scripture which clearly indicate that it is proper to use wine. If there were divers 1 opinions to be deduced from the bible in retard to one thin g it would be a book well calculated to make infidels. It is true that the same word is used there with dif ferent significatiOns, but, in the original, different words are used to designate dif ferent kinds of wine, and there are clearly two kinds spoken of, one fermented and ' the other unfermented. It is well known that in ancient times they bad methods by which they could preserve wine in an un fermented state. They could preserve the grapes and generally pressed out the juice of the grapes as they needed it, and drank it as we do coffee and tea. This was nour ishing and pleasant to the taste, and bene ficial to the man himself, while the fer mented wine was only evil, and that con tinually. Hence we read of Melchisedec, the great high priest and type of the com ing Savior, when he met Abraham, the father of the faithful, refreshing him with bread and wine. Would any one suppose that he who was the type of our Lord Je sus Christ would be drunken and have a spree there 7 The very thought is prepos terous; and yet such a conclusion as this would be warranted by the argument of the people that tell us that the bible en courages the use of intoxicating wine. It is said by them that when the Jews went up to Jerusalem to sacrifice that if they could not carry their animals with them they should sell them. and buy whatever they wanted and it is there taken for ;rant ed that they purchased strong drink ' aed had aspree. _ This was a religions service and the Jews made it a point to use unleavened bread on such occasions, and they were not to use intoxicating wine. There is a dispute among scholars as to whether that ought to be translated "strong drink," and the opinion is that it was a mis translation and that it was not intoxicating. But sup• pose that was firrmented wine. We use it sowetinies in our sacraments, which I be lieve is not criminal though not commen. dable, but it is done conscientiously, end because it is, would any one be justified in becoming intoxicated on any other day of the week ? Then again, "wine maketh glad the heart of man." This word does not mean carnal mirth. It is religious joy, which fermented wine d9es not produce. "Ho every one that tbirsteth—come, buy wine" &c. Here wine is used as the emblem of religion, and who would be willing to risk his reputation for common sense so far as to say that intoxicating wine is an emblem of religion ? It must be said of any such man that he misrepresents the bible and is not fit to preach the gospel, and it is strange that in these latter days such preposterous things will be argued, even by Doctor's of Divinity and men who occupy important positions in the church ; that they shou!d teach the doctrine that total abstinence is not taught in the bible. _ But then it is said "give strong drink to him that is ready to perish," &c., and sometimes liquor sellers blasphemously qtiote this in their advertisements, while it tells strongly against them. Let us in terpret this scripture in its proper connec tion. It is said, "it is not for Kings to drink wine nor princes strong drink, lest they fiaget the law and pervert judg ment," &e., and then it proceeds to say "give strong drink to those that are ready to perish." They will perish any how, and these are the only proper persons to give wine to, because they are too far gone to recover; and evidently that scripture is a very stronc , ° injunction against the use of wine. But God sometimes speaks to us in terms of strong irony. There are pas sages in the bible of this kind, such as Elijah's address to the priests of Bual, "cry aloud for he is a God," &c. He said what was not literally true, but spoke in ironical terms. It is also said, "rejoice, oh, young man, in thy youth. and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth," &c. "but," he adds, "know that Jim all these things God will bring you into judg ment." Now, go to the New Testament. It says "be not drunk with wine wherein is excess." It does not say in the use or abuse of it, but with wine itself—"but he filled with the spirit;" when wine is in re ligion is out. But then it is said "the wine of the wrath of God." What kind of wine is that ? Is it to be presumed that the same wine is referred to in each case, on the one h-ind refreshing and on the other fermented? Strange that these facts have been persistently and systematically ignored in the interest of drunkenness'.— But, it is said the Saviour turned the water into wine, and that after they were well drunken. His benevolence prompted him to do it, and that for His own glory. If that had been fermented wine would this miracle have manifested His glory ? It would rather have manifested His shame. They said of Him "behold a man glutton ous and a winebibber." Was this slander true because He did not contradict it ? When they attributed His miracles in cast ing out devils to Satanic agency He in timated to them the consequences of sin ning against the Holy Ghost but He did not contradict them. Men do not now-a-days contradict every base slander uttered. If it was true that He was a wine bibber He must have been a glutton too, Such rea sonioria an outrage on common sense and common honesty and common religion.— It is claimed also that wine is a medicine because Timothy was advised to use a little for his stomach's ache. If any one can get a good authority for its use as that of the Apostle I would say do it. The wine of that day was better than it is now. The art of distilling was then unknown, and the Wine was comparatively pure and harm less. The bible was evidently written for a later age than that of the Jews. It de picts intemperance with force, and that is the character of the book of God, that it is a book for all time. Because he took a little pure wine as a medicine will it justify men in taki4g it as a beverage, or even as a medicine now ? The bible gives a num ber of illustration-3 total abstainers.— The Israelites when in the wilderness :15 stained from strong drink. We find that the sons of Aaron offered strange fire be fore the Lord. and it was immediately of terwards declared that they must not use strong drink. These men were drunk at the time and did this in their drunkenness. There were the Nazarites who did not even eat grapes. There were John the Baptist and Paul the Apostle. There is the case of Sampson, the strongest man that ever lived. He was a total abstainer, whatever were his faults he never became intoxicated. This chews that strong drink is not neees sary to a strong man. There is Samuel, of whom it was said to his mother that he should not drink wine or strong drink, and where is there a nobler example? There was Daniel who refused to drink of the king's wine. There is the history of the Rechabites, in the days of Israel's de generacy ? The sons of Rechab were asked to drink and refused because they were seder a vow. They had taken the pledge, and there was a wide contrast between these m. n's fidelity and the infidelity of the Jew., and their conduct was approved and held in remembrance, and travellers tell tts that to day there are in that country, atoongs! the Arabs, tribes that are total abstainers and that claim to be the descendants of Jonadab. We have then these bible precepts and examples and they speak in clear and em phatic tones in regard to our duty in refer ence to this subject. S much in regard to total abstainers; and now, in regard to the evils of strong drink, we scarcely know where to begin or where to end. It is associated with ignorance and idleness.— A drunken man loses bis time, and an idle hend is the devil's workshop. It is asso ciated with indigence. Nine-tenths of the poor are made so by strong drink. It is asssciated with insanity. Nine tenths of the lunatics are made so by the same in strumentality. Time and language wont-I fail to tell the extent of the evil. It is associated with irreligion, and spreads a pall of darkness over the land ; obscure s the sun in the heavens, blasts our hopes, and causes 11 9 to live in gloom, and instead of enjoying the sun in its meridian splendor we dread every day's tidings. A few years ago a train of wagons went through the city of Wilmington on which were men seated smoking pleasantly, enjoying them selves, and if any man had insisted that they had better not smoke they would hart• called him a fool for his pains. Rat one day there was an awful explosion ; the horses and drivers shared one common fate; people were killed along the streets; the windows were broken and the h.nses shaken. These men were hauling powder. and had thus been trilling with their own lives and the lives of their fellow men.— These fear'f'ul explosions are goiug on frem day to day. I knew a woman who was married t ry promi,ing pun.; man... successful phy ician. Ile became addicted to strong drink, and from year to year visited, and remonstrated with him, and appealed to her to use her influence to save him, but she sat down, the imaze of despair, and failed to do anything. and in the course of time, he hlcatne di-it:366(A for the support of his family, and went down to a drunkard's grave. There le no other evil that people so tolerate, and be come used to. We dread war and peeti len,c and almost any other evil which sweeps over the world, bog men become habituated to intemperance and it is taken as a matter of coarse. A bright and promising boy becomes a drunkard, or a man in the meridian of his manhood goes down to a drunkard's grave, and it is looked upon as a difficult thing to any thing for him. Fell disease is also aseo elated with drunkenness. I remember one case, that of a friend. and on one bright and beautiful Sabbath day I remember how be trembled from head to foot and endeavored to perpetrate some grim joke., and within two days died from deleriarri tremens. And then if we could lift the veil and look beyond and there behold the sight which is hidden in mercy from oar view we would be able to realise the sad results not only in this world but in that which is to come; the condition of the un godly and the damnation of an awful bell We want prevention and protection Government is designed for the protection of life and property and to insure the wel fare and happiness of the people. hut gov ernment has never measured up to this standard. We need protection to the lives of men, women and children and property. and it is impossible for penple to realize either happiness or success in life while beset and beleaguered by the evils ef strong drink. Wc want a prohibitory law, such a law as we had, and such a one as we must have again in order to be ade quately protected. Such a law we would have now it:it were not for the dictates of political expediency. It was submitted t., the people and they voted fur it, but it was afterwards repealed through the ma chinations of the liquor sellers. I need not tell the miserable story how it was re pealed in the popular branch of the Legis lature; how it might have been saved by the party that claims to be true to the interests of humanity, and how the act was finally consummated by a man whose former record was worthy of a better act. It was like applying a match to a powder maga eine, or kindling a fire in the broad prairie in the dryest weather. It was not so tended, but men's eyes are blinded by the fogs and vapors that rise from this stygian pool. We want this law again, or its equivalent, and this law is necessary to protect the weak and defenceless. The insane are sent to the asylum, the paupers to the poor house and criminals to the prison, Wt there are too many inebriates to be provided for in that way. For their protection we want an influence backed up by the voice of christian men and women. This is what we demand and we can have it if we properly use our influence in this direction. We should pray more. Prayer moves the arm that moves the world. We need a Pentecost from on high that we may be stirred up to put forth our energy. There is a great deal said about prudence in this matter. That is all true, but yet we need seal and courage and perseverance that will never give over the struggle until this great object is realized. If we fail it is for us to set a good example to our poster ity and successors, that when we lay the armor down the coming generation may take it up and fight on until the victory is gained. Bat it is through the agency of the living God that we may expect to realize this great end. With God all things are possible, but He works by in strumentalities. The days of miracles are past. We must co operate with Him to re alize those blessed results, and while we pray to God we must petition the Legisla ture in no unmistakable tones, every man, and woman too.
