NERVOUS DISORDERS What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner voue system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de gree is most dartressing, 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 you can; take three or four Pills every night eat plenty of solids, avoiding the nee of slops; and if these golden rules are followed, you will be happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have any nerves. MOTIIERS 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 clensing the blood from all im purities, and removing dangerous and suspended secre *done. 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 arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed prespi ration, or from eating and drinking what is unfit for us, thus disordering the liver and stomach. These organs must he regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if taken according to the printed instructione, will quickly restore a healthy action to both liveraud stomach, whence follow, as a natural conseqence, a good appetite and a clear head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any other 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 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 cease gives tone and vigor to the whole organic system, however deranged,— health acid 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 rhoea, and other bowel complaints isexpelled. The result is, that the disturbance is arrested, and the action of the bowels becomes regular. Nothing will stop the relaxa tion of the bowels so quickly as this fine correcting med icine. DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS In all diseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be .afilict.d with atone 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, should be well rubbed into the small of the 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 tone of the stomach as these pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver and reduce it to a healthy action ; they are won derfully efficacious in cases of spasm—in fact they never fail in curing all disorders of the liver and stomach. Ague.

IIOWDEN As the first big pattering drops that fall With a splash on our lattice pane Make as shiver and start as they warn us all Of a storm or of coming rain ; So it is with life when we're grong old Aud age steals on unawares— We shiver and start if the truth were told, At the sight of our first gray hair. We mark not the light of our noonday hours, Like the first streak the dawn dot h bring; We hail not the birth of the summer flowers As we do the first snow-drop of spring; On the bleak winter winds we look not with grief Though it howl through the branches hare ; But we sigh when we see the brown autumn leaf And behold Nature's first gray hair. Gray hair may come when the beaming eye Has none of its brightness lost, When the bouyant hearts we will fain deny Youth's Rubicon has been cros-ed; But the ivy-clad tree looks young and green, Though a sapless trunk be there, And naught of decay on our cheeks may be seen, When we witness our first gray hair. Oh, a noble crown to a noble life Is a head of silvery gray, And 'tie well if tired with struggle and strife It finds rest at the close of day, But gray•headed sin is a crownless curse, And the parent of dark despair, And it gives us a pang, oh, doubly wore., Than the sight of our first gray hair. Come early, come late, like a knock at the gate, Is that first soft, silvery thread, And it joins with its silence the years that wait With the years forever fled; It silently tell, us we're j.,urri,ving on— It silently - questions us—Where? Oh, a faithful wile Acme, were truth but known, Is stem in our first gray hair. Ely *tarp-LT-411er. WHO WAS THE THIEF ? It was not because Rhoda Chauncey was not exceedingly pretty that Airs. [lavers objected to her marriage with her son . Allen, nor because she was not an exceed ingly nice and accomplished person, and all that a another might wish her son's wife to be, but simply because she was what Mrs Havers called a nobody, and that family potentate felt the necessity of alliance with somebody. Rhoda Chauncey was simply the friend and companion of Mrs. King ; an adopted child, without any of the privileges of adoption, as you might say—that is c9ei fortable in the present, and unprovided in the future. "I shall tell her plainly what she may expect if she accepts you," said Mrs. Ha vers to her son one day. "Your father and I discard you on that day." "0 pshaw What nonsense !" "Nonsense or not, you will find to your cost, if yon try. We have reached our position by bitter effort.. We cannot give our consent to being pulled down from the heightb we have struggled so hard to gain for the mere whim of a lave sick boy. If I must have a rival with my son, cried Mrs. Havers, the fire of her anger drying her sparkling tears before they fell, "let it be somebody who will bring some sort of compensation with her. Rhoda Chauncy —a beauty, maybe ; - I never saw any beauty in her; but a beggar, certainly No. You shall have the money to go abroad and forget her; you cannot have it to marry her. Your father and I are of one mind there. You have parts. You can do bet ter, you fool !" That was the way in which Mrs. Havers talked to her son Allen on occasion, when chance and courage served ; and that was the meaning of the more stilted way in which she talked to Mrs. King at the din ner given by the latter to young Governor Armisted, of whom Mrs. Havers had spoken to her son, as the two ladies stood side by side at the fire a few moments, after they had left the table, while Rhoda sung and young Havers turned the music, and a general hum of low voices filled the air of the lovely room at any pause. "You know, my dear Mrs. King, she said, the color burning on her cheek as the firelight burned upon the purple luster of her vel vet robe, that a young man has heights to ascend, and must not overweight himself. It is not what his father has made him, but what he makes himself, that counts If he has ambitions, he is foolish to marry at all till he can, as dealers say, command the market •if he does marry, he must marry to help, not hinder. To start on a race handicapped," said Mrs Havers, as suring herself with her white hand that her splendid diamond stones were still in their nest of lace on her breast, "that ex plains the failure of so many careers that looked so brilliant at the outset." "We should scarcely agree with you here," said Mrs. King, smiling ; "we think that a good wife is the best start in life a young man can have." But Mrs. Havers was already listening to the remark of some others joining the group. It was a few moments later that she beckoned the passing Rhoda to her side on the deep lounge, where she had ensconsed herself luxuriously. Never was anybody more aptly named than this sweet girl, for she was always , blushing like a rose. But of course Mrs. Havers eould only think it the guilty blush of the one who bad entrapped her son, and could not look his mother in the eye. She was not the person to appreciate the lovely, lofty innocence of that snowy brow, that violet eye, that dewy lip. Rhoda came obediently, and sat by Mrs. Havers, doing her best, as any member of a family does, to enter tain a guest; and they talked of one in different thing and another, till, in a mo. ment of comparative quiet, Allen's laugh was beard ringing from another part of the house. "Poor boy !" said Mrs Havers. looking in his direction, "poor boy ! You can hardly tell how a mother feels,Miss Rhoda," she paused with emotion, "when I hear my boy laugh so gayly," she said, "and think of the sad way lying before every aspiring youth ; and Allen is so ambitious !" "Sad, Mrs. Havers ?" "Ah, yes; sad indeed, when, as a rule, he must surrender either his ambition or his happiness—that is, surrender what he calls happiness uow. I suppose Allen would regard it, as all young men do, hap piness now to marry a penniless girl, if he should think that he loved her. Twenty years from now he would find it the mis fortune of his life, of his whole life, and the one thing that has ruined his career. Do you understand me, my dear Miss Chauncey ?" "Not at all," answered Rhoda, calmly. "I. think if he loved a girl, however pen- niless, he would do better to marry her, and have her comfort on his way." Mrs. Havers' face grew white, and then grew purple, with her suppressed vitupera tion. "But it would be an outrage !" she exclaimed, unable to keep silence wholly. "It would be his death blow, his ruin in more ways than one. For if it were my son, I would never forgive him. My doors tc 0 a. CD *-1 CO ... HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, )877. shiluld be shut upon him. Do you hear. Miss Chauncey ?" Miss Chauncy did not reply. Young Governor Armisted was atoaping to speak with her just then, and taking his arm she rat her abruptly left Mrs. Havers, and Mrs. (lavers presently rather abruptly left the house. It was on the next morning that Mrs. Havers appeared at Mrs. King's door, and on meeting the lady of the house, declared that she must excuse her for her early in Erasion, but she was really in great dis tress, a- she had lost last night the central diamond from her brooch ; and she begged that the rocws might be examined, to see if by any chance it had been dropped there. Of course the household was instantly in commotion. Everybody remembered that diamond—you were not likely to for get it, once having seen it, especially on Mrs. Havers' person—a very uncommon stone, worth, perhaps, a couple of thous and dollars; everybody was upon the search for it, in all disinterested eagerness ; and in less than five minutes Miss Chaun cey had espied it where it had been flung by Mrs. Havers in the sudden movements or her anger on the night btf'ore, and had given it to Mrs. King, who placed it in Mrs. Havers' delighted and grateful hand —a plump, fair hand it was, but it closed over that stone, nevertheless, much as the crooked talons of some old Hindostanee trader in diamonds would have done. "M./ dear madam," said the jeweler, as Mrs. slavers took from her portetuonnaie, On entering his shop shortly afterward, the little roll of silver paper in which she had wrapped the loose stone, and then passed it over to him, "do you mean that you wish one to take the diamond out of the brooch I sold you, and substitute this for it ?" out already, and I wiQh you tr, put it back again," said Mr?. Buyers. "I lost it, and came directly here with it when . fund." "This !" said the jeweler, holding it up contemptously between his thumb and finger. "You have made a curious mis take. Mrs. Havers, permit me to say." "A mistake ? 1 have brought you the stone exactly as it was picked up." "Indeed ! Then some one has practiced a great knavery upon you. This is a very prettily cut piece or glass." "May I ask where the rest of the pia "It is at home," whispered Mrs. Havers, with white lips. "Let me drive borne with you, Mrs. Ha vers. I should like to look into this mat ter a little. Some thief has your dia mond." The color canto back to Mrs. Havers' lips; h,:~r eyes flashed ; her whole soul lightened with a new idea. She directed the coachman to drive to the central po lice .tation, arid from there she sent an or der fn. her husband to deliver her dia monds to the detective, who wis to bring them to Mrs. • King's. "Drive to the Kings !" she cried to the coachman ; and lost in triumphant thought, she did not utter a word to the jeweler till they arri ved at the latter place. Then she sprung from the carriage. "Come !" she said; and she was in Mrs. King's drawing room before the astonished footman could read her card. She was walking up and down the floor in a kind of a glad fury when Mrs. King came in ; the loss of that dia mond was clear gain. "Yon have a thief in your house, Mrs. King !" she cried. "The person who gave me a bit of glass for my great 'diamond 1" "Mrs. Havers- 1" "I repeat it, Mrs. King. Where is Miss Chauncey ? I demand to see her ! My Allen and that girl, indeed !" Her enraged face glowed with a strange, sudden smile of exultation. "What an escape 1" she cried. "To think of thief !" "Mrs. Ilavers !" cried Mrs. King again; "are. you beside yourself?" I will not list en to such language !" You will have to listen to a great deal mole of it, Mrs. King. I hive a detee. tire cowing directly, rho will speak to some purpose, and with the music of handcuffs. Let. nic confront her first !" exclaimed Mrs. [lavers, clasping her !lauds as if' she longed to lay them on the culprit. "Let. me see this thief meet him I" And she I,u,rhed a laugh of vindictive malice. "What will Allen say when I te:l him ?" she cried. "Why, if I had known she was to have been bought off I would have paid her the price of the diamond, and welcome, and she would have spared her self this disgrace. But now I shall not rest till I see her head shaved and her prison gown on. Of all things, a thief— the most loathy ! prison worms themselves are not so foul to me. Yes, Mss Rhoda Chauncey, you will not soon again defy me when I tell you my determination ! Much comfort on his way would such as you be I wish Allen were here ; you would see 'eve turn into scorn on his face like a transformation. If you robbed me before you married my son, what in the world could I expect after !" She paused, because just then Rhoda entered the room, and stood before her, white and radiant, all her rosy blushes gone, but her faith shinin ,, in wrathful fire. She had come down just as she was, her splendid hair flowing loose over her long white dressing gown like a veil—an apparition of magnificent beauty and in• dignation. Mrs. Ilavers looked her over from head to foot with a horrid insolence, and burst into a shocking laugh. "It is.innocence itself !" she cried. "How well dressed, how well posed, how well acted ! Aha, miss, you will look just as innocent in a blue jean prison gown, with your hair cropped ! You marry my boy, with your ways and wiles !" "What is this, my dear i" and Mr. King came into the room, and a tall form fol lowed behind him—that of young Armi sted. "It is a crazy woman, William." "Crazy !" cried Mrs. Havers. "That girl may well wish I were ! This is what it is, Mr. King : I drop a diamond from my pin in this nom. A person finds it, keeps it, gives me in its place a cunningly cut bit of glass. What does such a person deserve ? The State prison. And here comes the officer to see that she has her deserts." It was the detective whom James won deringly admitted, and who murmured a swift apology to Mr. King, stepped to Mrs. Havers' side, and in a few words gave her to understand that she was a little pre mature, and had perhaps better go home. "Premature cried she. "When I lose a diamond, and that girl gives me a bit of glass, is it premature for me to say so ? ?Do your duty, officer, and arrest the thief at once ! Have you been at my house ? Have you brought me the pin ?' "Yes, Mrs. Havers." "You ought to have brought my son." "That is true." "Let me have it !" she cried, stepping I,rward imperiously and taking it. "There' Do you see ? That is the vacint place of the missing stone, and here is the piece of glass. Will you let me have it, Mr Dim itry ? This is the pin you sold me, is it not? And this is the glass she gave me." "This is the setting of the Pin," said the jeweler, gravely, "for there is your owu name upon it in my own marking, but these are not the stones I sold you.— They are also glass—four pieces of glass. The stone that you lost last night was un doubtedly glass als.), and that is it. You were robbed, not last night, but long ago, Mrs. Havers." "It is impossible !" gasped Mrs. Havers, her face darkening with her feeling. "I was robbed last night, and I demand the arrest here and now. No paltering be. cause it is in this house and in this com pany. Here and now do your duty, or I will Fee to it that. you are removed from your post." "You force me to be veil , explicit, Mrs. Havers," exclaimed the officer, reddening. "And since you want an arrest, you shall have it—if you still say so. Last March, when you were ill, your pin was taken from your house to a certain pawnbroker's, the stones were removed and sold, the crystals were put in their place, the pin was taken back and put in your jewel box—by the only person who knew where its key was to be found. We have hog been cogni zaut of all the fists, and waiting on your movements. The money was :pent riotous living. The thief, Mrs. Havers, was nobody that you suspect, it was your son." "My son ?" she shrieked. "Your son. h remains with you to say whether or not the arrest shall take place." _ _ ' . lt is false.! she cried. "It is false! it is false ! lam in the midst of a conspi racy ! Take me home, oh, take me home ! Oh, Allen, Allen, Allen I" And as she cried the name her wonderful face •zeenied to. grow older by years, and she staggered and groped with outstretched heeds as she walked. But as the jeweler handed her out, she turned her head as if fur s o me malediction, and the last thing she saw was Rhoda, her face bidden in his breast, clasped in the arms of young Armisted. risect A Word to Parents. Not lon;,-, ago a tcach'r in one a our public schools was convicted of having had in his possession certain vilepatnphlets and pictures, which he used for the demorali zation of his pupils. The man's sentence was a heavy one, but there was probably no father or mother who would not will. ingly have doubled it, to be sure that their children were safe from the c irrupting in fluence of such a twinster. We wish to warn them, as we have warned them be fore, that there is just as corrupting an influence daily set before their children who pass through the streets on their way to school, which parents appear strangely to ignore. We wean the flash newspapers and cheap novels which are offered for sale to half-grown boys and girls by their venders, or thrust gratuitously into- their hands as they pass, with the certainty that they will buy the succeeding numbers.— Very few girls and fewer boys, unless they are forewarned can resist the tempting dra matic pictures of kneeling women, with streaming hair, bravos armed to the teeth, etc. The opening chapters seem harmless enough, and the bay or girl, reared most probably in a refined Christian home, plunges unchecked into the offal of kitchen literature. These papers and magazines to which we advert would not strictly fall under the prohibition against obscene pub lications, and so they manage to escape the law ; but the views ui life they present are those taken front the grogshop and gamb ling hell ; their very atmosphere is crime A buy who would be simply disgusted by the open vice in publications which the law prohibits accepts the concEaled poison in these without suspicion. When we read or inurdererB of f;Jurteen years old, of hur 4 lars of nine, of delicately reared girls in the first bloom of innocent youth leaving their homes and coming to the city in the mad desire far adventure, to be rescued on the very verge of ruin, we can trace the motive cause in every case to these publi cations, or their draatatizatiou on the boards of variety theatres. Id even the best class of juvenile literature belonging to the (resent day, there is too much of fever and unrest. The child's brain, crammed and forced at school, is still further heated by tales of wild adventure or fhutastic im probing. "Robison Orusoe" and the "Parents' Assistant" are meted dull by our boys ; even Scott's magic wand moves too slowly to enchant them But if our best juvenile literature be thus opened to criti cism, what is to be said of this the lowest deep ? We speak the warning advisedly to parents It would be well if you would pay closer attention not only to the books which arc bought for them to study at school, but to those which they buy them selves to study outside.—New York Tri brine. —lf you want literature suitable for all classes of people, call at the JOURNAL Store, where you can be suited. Success in Life. The world's greatest workers are not always rewarded according to their merits; and exper;ence confirms the truth of the saying, that "the race is not to the swift, or the battle to the strong." We see the fool rolling in riches, while a wise man wears out a wretched existence in a singie- handed fight with adversity. We see quackery parading in purple and fine linen, and houes.ty strug2ling tnantully tin. bread. The carpet knight takes precedence of the toil worn soldier, and the tumbling mounte bank attracts greater crowds than the elo quent divine. Adventurers who can ft.;kic the fancy and hit the public taste are rewarded with fame and fortune, while genius is made to feel the pangs of disap pointment, ingratitude, and neglect.. Or course, wherever property is secure, it will accumulate, and as long as men are differ ently constituted, there will be riches and poverty. Children will be born to inherit wealth, while others will come into the world amid destitution ; and this arrange. ment is in accordance with human nature, and teaches that the rewards of merit are almost as eccentric as the accidents of birth. There are men who seem to wake money out of everything they take in hand, while others remain poor in spite of in dustry and attention. The author of the "Hunchback" lived a poor actor, and died a pensioner on Government, while the pro- ducer of a trashy sensational drama net his thousands in a season. A Wonderful Story .

It was pitiable to witness his sufferings, so intense and exerneiatint did they appear to be. The piing man Co.. tinned to suffer, and grew thinner and pa ler every day. At the end of pia wet ks he had become so feeble that he was eompell ed to leave his bwiness and confine him self to bed. llis physicans did not under scald the ease.. The symptoms were en tirely unique. He said that he ezperiitne ed a sensation as if something were grad ually spreading among and tying up his intestines. The physicians arrived at the conclusion that he was afflicted with ar,rms. and treated hint aceori:ingly, bur with no effect. Witater the discirte t baffle the pharmacopeia, and the ilr,etors and the broken-hearted nioaer a ere (Ni g . d t• - i stand idly by and see 3.oting Ilk h sou die before their eie. In the nn time, his snfferinzs iocr.mscd. Sleep %via almost a t.trangor to him, and he e, tupain ed mor e and more if the peculiar f~ link of a vitality in the intestines, tiistinet from his own. After lying for four menths, he died :n great agony. Weak ss 1..! he seemed to he posesEeil of z io.titious strength, and at the time of his exertion:, in the paroxysms of agony to which he was subj:cted, two nun coind with diffieuity hold him on the bed. After ytt:aag Hen derson's death, the rase had exeited so much attention in medical circles. t:le con sent of the mother was obtained to an autopsy- being made epic* iy. in citations were sent to sevc•ral of the city, and the investigation com menced of what was to be a cause cekbre in medical history. On opening the body, incredible as it may appear. it was discos ered that a cherry-stone had sprouted in the stomach of the unfortunate young man. The assembled doctors coolil hardly credit the testimony of their own eyea, palpable although it was before them lily some peculiar process the ch_!rry-stone, after having become lodged in young nuttier son's stomach, hail actually sprouted as thrifty as if it hal teen planted in the ground. The strange pains of the young man were now accounted for. for proceeding from the cherry-stone were shoots of flares which had ramified through the intestines of the victim, and in come instances, had coiled themselves tightly around theta. In the vicinity of the heart there were a number of these shoots, and one of them, larger than the rest, in pressing np this organ, had been the immetFat• (Anse of death. Of these shoots there were in a:1 fourteen, varying in length from three to • nine inches. In color they were white. with a faint, yellowish green tinge toward the base. The shoot which had pressed against young Henderson's heart was con siderably thicker and larger than the rest, and bad a peculiar reddish tinge, which the others bad not. The shoots were so closely twined and twisted around the in testines that it was found impossible to re move them, and so they have been pre served to science. The case, however. was so entirely sui generic that in all prob*bil ity a full and scientific account of it will be written and published by the physicians and surgeons interested in it. Home Life a Hundred Years Ago. One hundred years ago n 4 a pound of coal or a cubic foot of iltuminatinir gas had been burned iu the country. N.. iron stoves used and emtrivaatres for t:c..ina,n; zing heat were ernplored until Dr. Frank. invented the iron iratned fireplace wi4ich still betirs his narnii. Ail :h.. cook• iug and warming in town as well as in the country, were done by the ;id of fire kin dled on the brick hearth or in brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow eandles furaished light for the long t; inter nights, and sand ed flo,rs supplied the place Gr rugs And carpets. The water ia.ed for lieusehoid purposes was drawn trout deep weds by the creriking •:sweep.•' No 11-rtu of pump was used in the country. so tar as w: ran learn until the coinuleaccttlent of the pres ent century. There were no frietiou matches in those early days, by the aid of which a fire could he easi:y kindled, and if the fire 'went out" upon the hearth over night and the tinder was damp so that the spark would not catch, the alter native remained of wading through the snow a mile or two to borrow a brand of a neighbor. Only one room of any horse was warm unless some member of the fam ily was ill ; in all the rest the home tem perature was at zero during many nights in winter. The men and women of a hun dred years ago undressed and went to their beds in a temperature colder than in our modern barns and wood-sheds, and they never complained. Petrified Body in a Coffin. On the 23d of June last J. L. Pastuer died of abscess of the liver, at Greene's Hotel. He was buried in the Masonic Cemetery, in a wooden coffin, confined in the usual outer case. On Thursday of last week J. A. Campbell, an undertaker of San Francisco, had the body taken up and removed to San Francisco. The men en gaged in unearthing the body were very much atraid that, on reaching the corpse, the effluvin would be terrible. The outer case, when reached, broke through, it was so rotten ; but on opening the coffin the corpse was found to be perfectly petrified, and retaiuing, even to the whi:ikers and hair, a perfectly enteral appenranoe. The body was hi such a e9nditien as to Exraiit its being raised at the head and stood on its feet, and handled as one would a statue. It was shipped as freight, itielesed in a common wooden box, and weighing, hoz included, 200 pound.:. At the time of his death deceased weighed 110 pounds, and as the box the body was shipped in could not have weighed over sixty pounds, the body seems to have lost nothing in weight during its six months' burial.—Alta.

Better walk forever than run in debt for a horse and carriage. A man's opinions all change. except the good ones he has of himself. Self depreciations is not humility, though often mistaken for it.
