What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner vous system? To be excitable or net vous in a small de gree is most destressing, for where can a remedy be found? There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, it 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 ever night : eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of slops; awl if these golden rules are followed, you will be happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have any nerves. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so famous, it is their purifying proper ies, es pecially their power of denting the blood from all im purities, and removing dangerous and suspended secre tion°. 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 priespi ration, us from eating and drinking what is unfft tor us, thus disordering the liver and stomach. Them: organs must be regulated if you wish to be well. The Pills, if takes according to the printed instructions, will quickly restore a hiatlthy action to both Iherand stomach, whence follow, as a natural consegence, a good aypetito and a clear head. In the East and West Indite scarcely any other medicine is ever used for these diucrders. 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 iucrease relaxation. This is a greet mistake, however; for these Pills will immediately correct the liver and sti p. every kind of bowel complaint. In warm climates thotueinds of lives have been saved by the use of this medicine, which in all cases gives tone and vigor to the whole organic system, however deranged,— health and strength fallowing as a matter of course. The appetite, too, is wonderfully increased by the use of these Pills, combined iii the use of solid in preference to fluid diet. Animal food is better than broths and sties's. By removing acrid, tormented, or other impure humors from the liver, stomach, or blood, the cause of dysentery, diar rhoea, and other bowel complaints is expelled. The result is, that the disturbance is arrested, and the action of the bowels becomes regular. No,hing will stop the relaxa tion of the bowels so quickly as this fine correcting med icine. DISORDERS Or THE KIDNEW, In all disesees affecting theft organs, whether they secrete too much or too little water ;or whether they be afflicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains settled in the lulus over tie regions of the kidneys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ointment, should be well rabb,d into the small of the bark 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 ae the pills; they remove all acidity, occasioned either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver and reface it ro N. healthy anion; they are won derfully fdficaciou* in cases of spastn—in fact they never fail in curing all , lievnler4 of the liver and stomach. Agile.

STY A sifv:e PART FIRST ”Iwas morning, and the sun rode high Upon tbs. eastern heaven : The time, without a word of lie, War very near clever,. A pampered Pen of opuleeoe, From itunibers, sweet, awaking, sGlilequized as follows, whi:e ilia toilet he was making : "L'y energy and wealth combined, I've reached Perfection's acme Defying all the wiles, by which Th' Devil sought t' attack me. "I stand upon a flowery Olin, Above Temptation's level; Impervieus to the acts o: man, Abandoned by the Devil. "But when in pensive thought I gaze On sinful souls below me, The flood gates of comrosion raise, And Sorrow's waves o'erflow me. "Shall I, in literary bliss, Arid grace superfluous revel, Whilst mortals of a lower claps, Are hood-winked by the Levi!? "Nay ! by the grace,—and cash,—which brought My soul from ways pernicious; I'll don the Missionary's robe ;-- The idea is delicious. "On Tussey's mountain's eastern slop, There dwells, I've heard, a trio Whose egad never stretched a rope, From Vermont to Ohio.

"And nightly on the stilly air, Is heard the direful warning; l hat feud-stakes can't avail to spare, Pour goosey's head till morning. "I'll go and warn those wretched men, To flee the path of dat•g,er; And tell them of the Holy One, Whose cradle was a monger." PART SECOND.

I saw his sober face relax, Expanding like hot sealing wax,— A gatherer of incdme tax, Could not appear more pleasant; His moral courage all took flight, And he resolved to stay all night, Rather than leave without a bite, Of our aquatic pheasant. But when he found the game was up, And he on that bird could not sup, Ile gathered all his luggage up, Said he, "the night-cloud gathers, Good night," and as he shuffled out, lie cast his thievish eyes about, And stuffed beneath his long tailed coat.

BY JENNIE STERLING, It was a fine summer's evening, the full moon, beaming culd and tranquil, glim mered silver rays into the open window of a room where two persons were sitting, whose hearts, however, were as warm as any sunbeam. The elder of the two, a gentleman of remarkably fine physique, was conversing in low tones with a beautiful woman. Etta 'Vincent had been a widow for over three years, and was more beautiful than when in the first flush of youth. Her grief, though of a decent quality, was not inextinguishable, for she certainly felt happier in her widowhood than she had ever done in her wedded state, and all because her deceased husband had been of a jealous disposition. and liable to fre quent outbursts of an unreasonable and savage temper. Being of a clinging, loving nature, she must needs have some one upon whom to lavish her heart's wealth, and in about a year after his death, she discovered that Frank Potter was of the same mind. And so, as they sat together, with the moon shining down upon them—the moon; which, from time immemorial, has silently listented to lovers' vows—their eyes, their hands, their words all became subject to the one thought which animated their souls. "Ettie, my beloved," said her companion, "why do you continue to evade my request —why do you allow some fancied notion to prevent our union ? You know that I love you sincerely." "Are you sure of it, Frank ?" she re plied, looking down and toying with a large and valuable ring, the only ornament she wore. r et LC "Suppose I were to lose these fair pos sessions of wine, these broad acres, this fine mansion, my stocks, in short my en tire 11,rtune ' what then ? Would you still wish to wed a portionless bride ?" Ilis cheeks reddened as he replied, quickly : "You think me mercenary, then. If so, you wrong me by the thought." "Ettie," he continued in a softer tone, "I have loved you from boyhood, and when I learned that the brilliant, dashing Hugh Vincent had won your love, I silently sailed for Europe ; it was in a foreign land, Ettie, that I first heard of your hus band's death, then I hastened home to be near you." "And win me, too, it seems," she said slyly. "Yes, dearest, may I not; - Jr wbere will you find one fonder or mo . faithful ? somehow yon attract me, magnetize me, inspire me, above all womankind. Oh, Ettic, say you will be mine." "Frank 'tis folly to throw away a con stant loving heart such as yours. I think your fidelity deserves a reward, but-" "Oh, let there be no buts !" he exclaimed. "What if I say," she continued, "that [ L -trt2) " because of ruinous speculations, and fraud nlent agentA. I have lost the bulk of my fortune, and that I am ashamed to come to yon a penniless bride." Effie, I cannot offer you the luxur ies to which you are accustomed, as my in come is moderate, nay, probably will seem to you a mere pittance, but—for I , too, have a 'but' to offer—consider, Ettie ; is not a warm, disinterested, loving heart worth more than all the elezancies of life ?" "Indeed, Frank, I am thoroughly con vinced of your unselfish love, since you would wed me, poor as I am ; my riches have taken themselves wing-, I—" She was silent for a moment ; her lover waited impatiently f%r the wished fin. con sent. lie took her hand carest-ingly. IN ex Creme coldness startled him. "Ettie I" he exclaimed, as she suddenly snatched her band away, pressed it upon her heart, and fell back fainting. Frank Potter was a man of rare pres ence of mind, equal to emergencies; he glanced hastily araund the apartment, and snatching a silver hand-bell rang it vio lently. In an instant, Ettie's maid, her sister and servants rushed in. Frank's coolness directed them, restoratives were applied, a doctor sent for immediately, but notwith standing all their efforts, she remained still, rigid and as white as a lily. The agonized heart which bent over her, watching for the least sign of' return ing animation, the consultation of eminent ph3sicians, the tearful prayers of the sis ter, who had been her constant companion during her widowhood—all these could not bring back the warm throb of life.— She was dead, "they said, dead !" Alas ! they could tn , t conquer death, so an hour later they laid her upon her snow white bed and foaled her hands together. Her sister, Sarah, smiled to remove the costly ring, llugh - Vincent's gift, but her swollen finger preventing, she consulted Frank about it. [E.ri "There is nothing toe' good or valuable to adorn my darling. 'Tis hers.," he said, •let it remain." And so it sparkled and flashed the long night throngh, as if in•mockery of death - Ilti4l Vincent's splendid mansion was situated in the suburbs of Boston, Mount Auburn, he said, was a long way off.— Thereftirc he bad built a family vault at the extreme end of his grounds There he was buried, and there, too, they carried his widow. • It was new a bright afternoon, all na ture .eeined joyous affording a striking contrast to the grief-stricken hearts who stood around, as Ettic's coffin was placed in its allotted niche. A prayer was of fered with bowed heads, and then the keys being given in charge of her old arid trusted butler, the company separated, leaving her to a long repose. Frank Potter alone' remained. He wished to look upon his darling once again, and imprint a first and last kiss upon her cold lips. Motioning the old man to re tire, he opened the glass lid and gazed with tearless eyes upon the face of the only woman he had ever loved. How calm and peacefUlly she rested.— Beautiful even in death. He took a flow er from among those she held in her hand, and hid it in his bosom. Then waiting to see the butler securely lock the outer door of the vault, he turned away with a feeling that now there was nothing worth living for. But he must return to the scenes hal lowed by remembrances of her sweet pres ence. Perhaps Sarah, Ettie's sister, might wish it, and so it proved, for it was a mournful pleasure to both to speak of the loved and lost, and speculate as to the cause of her sudden death. So they remained conversing into the twilight. Sarah remarked that perhaps Ettie's spirit hovered over them even then. Presently a step was heard coming slowly up the graveled walk, the outer door was opened, and the steps advanced into the hall, and stopped at the parlor door. Who could it be ? A neighbor, perhaps kindly come to offer consolation. Sarah arose and opened the door, when suddenly a tall, white-robed figure glided past her, and fell fainting at Frank's feet. It was Ettie Vincent. "Oh. heavens!" exclaimed Frank, rais ing her prostrate form and clasping her to his breast. "Oh, my darling," he cried, pressing 'passionate kisses upon her lips. All this warmth and glow of affection aroused her drooping energy, and revived the trembling form he held in his arms. Placing her tenderly upon the lounge, he rang fur assistance, for Sarah bad fall en insensible from fright at the sudden and mysterious appearance of one whom she supposed to be in her grave Brandy and other restoratives were ju diciously given, and when, an hour later, quiet and strength were restored, Ettie held up her finger, and showed a deep and angry wound upon it. "I heard all that passed, dear Frank," she said with a weak voice, "almost every word. I beard the physician say that I died of heart disease, and how I thank you fur requesting that the brilliant should re main upon my finger, rather than it should suffer mutilation. But every. sense seemed fast bound, except, indeed, the sense of hearing. I could not move a muscle—oh, it was agony to think that I was to be buried alive, and to know that you were powerless to save me from such a horrible fate. “I felt your warm kisses while in the vault, and tried to make some sign ; but death itself could hardly hold me more firmly, and when I heard the iron door clang, and the bolt shot, and heard. also, your retreating footsteps, I think that I must have swooned, for I remember noth ing farther until I felt the cool breeze fanning my forehead, and a severe pain in this mangled finger. "Then I was able to open my eyes, and in a short time had strength to sit up in my coffin. Only think, Frank, my coffin. Then I saw a dark figure gliding swiftly from the vault, leaving the door open.— My ring is missing, and I believe its loss saved my life, for the blood flowing from this deep wound must have restored me to consciousness. I know not how I arrived at home, for I fell by the way several times; but here I am, thank God, and oh, it all seems like a dream.” 'Now darling." he replied, rapturously, "you can complete the unfinished sentence that was upon your lips when you fell into the trance state." Frank, let me confess first. I have deceived you with a story of my loss of fortune—forgive me, for 'all is fair in love or war.' I think I have fully tested your disinterested affection." "You love me, then, and will consent to be mine ?" he tenderly asked. "Of course 1 mean to reward your un selfish and persistent devotion ; but, oh, was there ever a wooing like ours ?" Upon investigation it was ascertained HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1877. that the butler, who hail served the family so long awl well, had been tempted by the wish to possess a valuable solitaire. lie resolved to steal it Returning to the vault unobserved, with a sharp knife he cut and hacked the flesh from the finger upon which it sparkled so temptingly. The unfaithful butler shortly after sud denly disappeared, and it was rumored that Ettie furnished him with means to cross the ocean and establish himself in another land. "Because," she said. •it lea 3 a tempts. tion, awl I was also by it restored to life and happiness." And this is why she wore, on her wed• ding day, ['ugh Vincent's gift. stieft Riist tliang. Signor Blitz and his Birds. THE STORY OF A CHILD'S AFFECTION-A CURIOUS ISSUE-WHAT MELTED THE HEART OF THE GENEROUS MAGICIAN The death of Signor Blitz rewinds us of a very singular incident that occurred a few years ago in the little town of ita , elle, located in New Jersey, on the Central R. R. The genial magician gave two entertainments there at the time spoken of, one in the afternoon and the ether in the evening. The former was mostly attended by young folks of all ages and sizes The Signor went on with his performance until he arrived at the part wherein his trained canary birds bore so large a share. One feature was the c ir rying about in a diminutive wagon of a pure white dove acmes a velvet covered space. This attracted the most earnest attention of the little ones, among them was a bright little girl of five, the only daughter of a wealthy resident of Roselle. The child went nearly frantic with delight over the curious actions of the birds, and she fell especially in :ove with the white dove. At night the father and chili were at the performance again, and the latter ex hibited the same degree or interest. The next day Signer Blitz left town for New ark, where he billed to perf Tie, and at the close of his evening entertainment a gentleman was admitted to his presence who endeavored to barzain for the pur chase of the birds and the dove. especially the dove. But the Signor could listen to no proposals, although a fabulous sum was offered him for the trained pets. It was about two weeks after this, while Blitz was performing in Ashtabula, Ohio, that lie was again brought face to face with the gentleman who had endeavored to buy his birds at Newark. After the performance the stranger asked Mr. Blitz ! it' he would be kind enough to accompany him over to a certain hotel near by. Blitz obliged him, and in ten minutes the two were ushered into an apartment where lay, upon a bed, a child, whose hollow eyes and wan face told of approaching dissolution The gentleman then informed Signor Blitz that the infant's illness was generated at hie exhibition in Roselle, while he was exhibiting his birds. Then he explained how the child had become suddenly pos sessed with an attachment for the white dove, and how she had pined for it day by day, until there seemed' to be no cure for her but the sight of the darling object of her passion. Great tears came into the magician's eyes as he looked upon the child and heard her implore him "just to let her look upon the little birds before she died." lie hast ened away and soon returned with the dove and four canaries. The childish face I brightened in an instant; and as Blitz held the dove aloft upon his finger a mo ment, it looked at the little face below, and then, as if it knew the cause of her misery, raised its wings and fluttered downward, laying its glossy feathers close to the pale cheeks of its ardent lover. Blitz would take no money for the birds, but presented them to the child without further ado, and it is needless to say that she shortly after fully recovered her strength. She lived to thank Signor Blitz personally for the kindness. The dove and the child still live, but Signor Blitz is no more. Effect of Imagination upon Health. To regain or to recover health. persons should be relieved from all anxiety con• eerning diseases. The mind has much in-' fluence over the body. For a person to think that he has a disease may produce that disease. This we see effected when the mind is intensely concentrated upon the disease of another. It is found in the hospitals that physicians who make a spe ciality of certain diseases are liable to die of them themselves; and the mental power is so great that sometimes people die from a disease which they only have in imagin ation. Persons have been known who have become seasick in anticipation of' a voyage before reaching the vessel. We have known a person to die from imagination that he had a cancer in his stomach, when he had no cancer nor any other mortal disease. A blinfblded man, slightly prick ed in the arm, has fainted and died from believing that he was bleeding to death. Reading a medical book containing descrip tions of certain diseases has often produced the symptoms, even among young medical students—while they at last got the dis ease, unless it was stopped by common sense treatment. Therefore well persons, to remain well, should be cheerful and happy ; and sick persosn should have their attention drawn as much as possible from themselves, and directed upon the subjects cheerful to contemplate. Notwithstand ing the mind is a product of the impres sions upon the senses with which the body is provided, and therefore greatly under the influence of the bodily conditions, it has, in its turn, some influence over the body and its sanitary conditions—and this to a greater extent than is generally re cognized. Everyone knows, for instance, how the appetite can be increased, dimin ished, or even destroyed, by thinking about certain things, or by joy or sorrow, suprise or fright. Above all, let every one avoid mental excitement. Nothing wears out the body sooner. Therefore, if you wish a healthy body and long life, keep up moderate activity of' body and mind ; but, above all, avoid anything that will cause excitement. DURING cholera time a Glasgow joiner was asked by a lady, who was employing him at some household work, whether he would have a glass of whisky now or wait till he had finished the job. "I'll be takin' the glass noo, mew," said the arti san, "for there's been a power o' sudden deaths lately." ItEgoLvE to perform what you ought, and perform without fail your regolve.

The entrance to the more mysterion4 pit is on the front of a perpendicular height, made almost inaccessible by vines. bram bles and densely growing ferest trees Trammel's enters Drake's Creek just above the strange aperture to unkrnwin depths and impenetrable darkness This adytutn is ten feet long and four wide, and the chasm seems to yawn. and is _r•rrG mouth is horrible to contemplate. Rude people in the vieiuity Hell's Hole" or the ••Indian's Pit " the measureless abyss there iseutn-.ceastiers as the lapse of hours and da . Ts mei years, a volume of mist. ()n clear. frosty mornings it rises in spiral columns tar above the tree tops, and, whiten.' I a.s it ascends and gleaming in the i,un'ight, it floats away and is losi, in the el iud:;. At some unknown period in the world's histo ry mother earth breathed brartli, ail.' great boulders, worn rc.und and 4t:I.1.)(11 if groend by friction when uph e ld by ,ehr rents of air, and baek again and again, lifted up and rubbed by other stones. cover the hillside and have ridied from the cavern's ineuth into the val:ey below. Pe. pie dwelling near by tell that in fall anil winter tine heavy ruertorous breathines from the cavern are touch warmer titan sharp blasts swe..pitig, along the .4.ep while in summer the misty yap :r from within is eoeler than the exterier :;turns. inhere. Th:s fathomless pit grows ten in its downward course, and nothing fir ing or inanimate that has Entered cv'r found exit. Not tire faintest e.elio was ev er heard when great stones 'nave been roll ed into the awful depth of this ePsr-ituz Avcr,rr. I r such wa-sire boulders had en countered any object within milt's of the entrance the sound produced would have been surely borne to listeners above by the strong, steady air current. The impression fixed from childhood to age, that the solid earth must be forever immovable beneath our feet as surely and immovably ar the gun and stars and blue vault above our heads, is rudely Anton when one stands in the presence of such demonstrable hollowness and emptiness m this. Very much the same sensations are excited when standing at the pit's mouth as when an earthquake shakes laud and sea and makes men and women shudder. When, not long ago, it was sought to ascertain the depth of the chasm, a heavy weight was attached to a strong cord, the lead went down, down, down, till th, line and plummet had measured the greatest possible depth, but no sound came back to tell of the end of unutterable bo'lownese below. The weight, when withdrawn, was unsoiled, and by the moisture on its sur face showed that iu its descent and ascent it touched nothing but mist and darkness. The very hollowness of lite and its evan escent pleasures are almost illustrated in physical facts discovered everywhere in Kentucky and Tennessee. The river.down iu the depths of Mammoth Cave if it find its way to the green fields and sunshine. is never recognized above as the stream noted for its eyeless fishes below the earth's sur face, and though the great cavern has been explored twelve miles from its entrance, those who have traversed its depths and labyrinths concur in the assertion that there are other caves beyond the remotest yet explored, and grander and deeper than those that attract the curious from ail lands. Near Union City, in Tennessee, and near the south-western confines of Kentucky. is Reelfoot Lake. Here the roof of a migh ty cavern was shaken down by the earth quake of 1811-12. I.ofty foreet trees, the tallest that tower above the lowlands, dis appeared with the land en which they grew, and a sea, broader and deeper than that of Galilee, was outspread in crystal clearness in the midst of the low:ands. Ducks and geese fleck its surface and troat abound in the modern lake that had never reflected the sun's face in its fathomless depths till the bridge of soil and trees and cane was broken down by the earthquake's resounding footsteps. Where the railway from Nashville to Hickman, Ky.. on the Mississippi. crosses that from Mobile to Cairo and Chicago stands the town of Union City. It is ten miles from this lake. It has been stated that when heavy locomotives and heavily laden trains come rushing by, hotels and station houses quake, candlesticks. are shaken from mantels and tables, and that hollowness in which the forest disappeared which bridged Reelfoot Lake, extends, it has been alleged, beneath the town and railway. The water of this lake is not that of the Mississippi It is of crystal brightness and clearness, such as distin guishes the river in the depths of Mam moth Cave, while the great river above ground, bearing alluvium from northwest ern mountains, is tawny in its yellowness and impervious to vision. When the earth quake of 1811-12 was most violent and the night was of extraordinary darkness. the Mississippi flowed backward, and flat boats in the vicinity of Hickman drifted backwards forty miles towards Cairo A mighty volume of' the river's flood-tide re• ceded into measureless caverns beneath the country's surface, and nowhere were the lowlands submerged. There is a "Dead :Sea" of murky water hidden beneath the earth's surface in the vicinity of Cairo and New Madrid, and broader and deeper than the fathomless Reelfoot Lake dug by the genii of earth quakes. The visible lake of our time may be the receptacle for the bright waters that flow through Mammoth Cave, and if the Devil's Pit with its emptiness were sounded it would be discovered that its depths were carved out by a great river which through conntless ages has been eroding its pathway of limestone towards the south-west to find a deboucheinent io Reelfoot Lake. These are vague and indefinite specula tions, and only defensible wbeo we relied that the Mississippi river does not merely percolate the Roil in the lowlands, but ab• - on•ferft.,w. , •h , .••-mit-7 est 44h from the river h. 17. heen -iiirzhe wen. piiivitiono :1 °he ow-i•nro se.; • he sv it r lil 7:1 ,40 "C •:11. sn't • h fly'. t - of • ~f •11.• river it m• i7 h e ;r .,..e r to state - S:f !S.
