HEALTH AND ITS PLUSH:KM - OR - DISEASE AND ITS AGONIES: CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. NERVOUS DISORDERS. What is more fearful than a breaking down of the ner vous system? To be excitable or nervous in a small de gree is most deetressing, for where can a remedy be found? There is one:—drink but little wine, beer, cr spirits, or far better, none; take no codee,—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 slope; and if these golden rides are followed, you will be happy in mind and strong in body, and forget you have any 1181,08. 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 clensing the blood from all im purities, and removing dangerous and suspended secre 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 ns, most frequently ame 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 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 liver and stomach,wheuce 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. lIOW TO BE STRONG, Never let the bowels be confined or unduly acted upon. It may appear singular that ilolloway'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 stop 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,— hualth and strength following as a matter ofcourse. The appetite, too, is wonderfully increased by the use of these Pills, combined iu the use of solid in pteference 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 is expelled. 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 afflicted 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, should be well robbed into the small of the back at bedtime. This treatment will glve'klmoet 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 canoe of spasm—in fact they never fail in curing all disorders of the liver and stomach.

Is somebody's mother thinking That somebody's boy gets "tight, While somebody's boy is drinking Somewhere or other to-night? Who was that somebody lugging Too heavy a load to-day, Of brandy and rum, and hugging The posts and corners, eh ? Who is that handsome fellow, The handsome face we meet, Who comes borne so late and mellow He can scarcely keep his feet ? Who is that somebody reeling First from the left to the right ; With empty pockets, yet feeling As rich as Crcesus to-night? Ah I pavements have grown unsteady They wave like a wind-blown sheet, And have interfered already With somebody's drunken feet. And still to the world his drinking Is neither here nor there ; But somebody's pa, I'm thinking, Or sister or mother would care. Hell wake to morrow, its patent, And he'll come down stairs all right, And look almost like he hadn't Been out on a "tear'' last night. And somebody's mother and sister, When told that brother gets "tight," Are almost inclined to blister Your cheeks with their hand 3 outright. But somebody's sins are wearing The jewel of life away; And somebody's boy, wayfaring, May die in the streets some day! Pt *toni-Etiltr. THE LAST CUSTOMER. There is, perhaps, not in all England, a prettier little town than Wilton. Since the days of railway traveling commenced it has almost been forgotten, lying as it does far out of the route of any of the lines which now, like a network, cross and re cross England. But in the days of stage coaches, when the "llighflyer" or the "Rapid" rattled along its streets, the passengers beheld with delight the neat villas, the clean, com fortable looking houses, the rosy-eheeked children that shouted merrily as the coach went by. There was a dark side to this brightness. The great northern road led through the town, and it was consequently the halting place of beggars and tramps of all kinds. The lodging houses that gave accommodation to these wayfarers were situated in dark, dirty alleys, unseen by the passing traveler, who could have little suspected, as he gazed on the vine and jasamine-trellised porches, and the trim front gardens of the main street—the High street—that behind a scene so fair lurked so much foulness and misery. On Christmas Eve, 1825, John Thur. good stood at the door of his shop, which was rarely seen open at so late au hour ; but a number ofcoun try people, many from a distance, had been making their pur chases for the holiday "season; and John had been unusually busy. He had put up the shutters, and was taking a last look at the snow, which was whirling in big flakes down the High street. "Well, I'm thankful that this day's work is done," he said to himself, and going in, closed the door. He had just turned the key and shot the bolts, when he heard a low, timid tap at the door. Now there was not a shop-keeper in Wilton who, had he heard that tap at that time, but would have growled sulkily, "Go along with you, whoever you area A pretty time o' night to be coming, annoy ing people." But John Thurgood had a kindly heart. Some folks who could not understand or appreciate him said he was led more by his heart than his head. And perhaps he was, and better it was for the poor and distressed of Wilton that such was the case. The rector excepted, no man was looked up to with more respect by the townspeo ple. Often would many of his poorer customers get into his debt ; but if he found that their inability to pay arose neither from idleness nor dissipation, he never pressed them for his money. Like his Divine Master, whose example he tried to follow as closely as frail humanity can, he went about doing good, and his deeds of charity were done in secret. To feed the hungry, to comfort the afflicted, to smooth the bed of death, his purse was as ready as his prayers. Many of his brother shopkeepers envied his prosperity in busi ness, but they had not a word to say to his discredit. The highest accusation they could have brought against him was his overflowing goodness. That low, timid rap did not fall a second time on the door, for it was instantly opened by John. Before him, with up turned eyes, in which there was a strange look of appeal mingled with terror, stood a decently dressed -boy of about eleven years of age. "Well, my little lad, what brings you here at so late an hour ?" said John. "Please, sir," whispered the boy, is it too late to have a penny loaf?" "Why have you not come sooner, my boy ?" he asked, for he saw something was amiss, and he put the question in a some what legal form. "Mother and I, sir, have just come to the town ; we have been walking in the snow all day, and she is very unwell; and she thinks, sir, if she had something to eat, she would get better." . "And where is your mother just now ?" "She is in a house in Poplar Lane. I think the woman told me Poplar Lane." John's eyes were growing watery; he knew the house well. It was one of the lowest haunts in Wilton. "There's the loaf, my dear. Hurry home. I'll not be long in following you." The form of the boy disappeared iu the darkness. John went to the back shop, where hung his great coat, which he flung over his shoulders ; then calling up stairs, "Margery, come down and bolt the shop door, lass ; I won't be away long," he snatched a parcel of tea, and another of sugar from the shelves, and away he ran. Yes, the staid, sober John Thurgood, aged sixty-seven, ran- down the street, bounding over the snow-heaps and half frozen puddles like a school boy ! Why did not Margery ask her husband whither he was going at so late an hour ? Ah ! but these sudden departures of his were not uncommon. She knew well that mercy called him away, and she loved him the more, if such a thing were possible, the oftener he obeyed her summons. John was soon at the house of the doc tor, his fellow•worker in many a good deed, and in a few minutes afterward both stood at the bedside—if a bundle of straw may be called a bed—of the dying woman. She was unconscious of their presence.— HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1877. In her hand was a piece of bread, which her son had broken off the loaf and placed there; but the arm was too feeble to raise it to the quivering lips. The doctor stooped to feel her pulse. As he gently touched the unresisting arm, he looked sadly fur au instant at the boy, who stood bewildered in a corner of the room, which was dimly lighted by the sputtering oil lamp, and whispered to himself, "Poor boy." John knew the meaning of the look and the words. The end was come! Stepping over to the boy, be took him gently by the hand and knelt down. The boy in stantly did the same. A happy feeling shot through John's heart, fur the quick movement of the boy told him that some one, perhaps his mother, whose tide of life was almost at its ebb, had taught him to pray. Yes—kind, good John, although un known to you at that time, the dying woman had been a .true mother to the trembling boy that knelt beside him, and, in the midst of her many troubles and afflictions, had ever turned his youthful thoughts to that all-loving Saviour, who blessed the little children, and promised that they should be partakers of His heavenly glory. Short and fervent was the prayer of the good man, and when he arose he 'saw the doctor lying across the throbless bosom of the woman the arm which he had been holding. Then he knew that the boy was motherless, and he led him away, unresisting, from the pres ence of death, and giving the keeper of the lodging house some money in order that the body might not be disturbed, the three, the motherless boy, the doctor, and John, passed out into the lane. When they reached the High street the bells in :he church tower announced with a joyous peal, that Christmas had come. The snow storm had passed, and the stars were twinkling brightly in the un clouded sky—the same stars that shone on the shepherds of Bethlehem when the an gels proclaimed the birth of Him who came to call earth's weary wanderers to His Father's eternal peace and rest; who is a Father to the fatherless; who has said that those who seek Him early shall find Him, and that none who come to Him shall be cast out ; who has promised blessing and comfort to those that mourn. and whose promises abide forever. "I have brought a little stranger to night, Margery," said John, cheerily, as his wife opened the door ; "he's not very big, so I dare say you will be able to find room fur him." The boy looked timidly in Margery's face, as if fearful of her answer. Margery give au unkind reply? She couldn't if she tried. "Room, John ! ay, plenty of. room and welcome !" and Margery kissed the boy, who burst into tears ; whereupon John blew his nose most violently, and hurried his wife and the buy (whose name was Harry Fielding) upstairs to supper. Harry ate little, and when he spoke it was only to say, "Yes" and "No." The kind couple saw that his heart was full, and did not trouble him with questions After supN.r, he was shown into a snug little bedroom, which looked as if it had been specially designed for a little fellow like him. And so it had been. John and Margery sat long over the parlor fire, talking about Harry, and pro pounding many schemes concerning what should be done regarding him. John listened without objecting to any of the proposals Margery made, although he had settled it in his mind that, if the thing was possible, the boy should remain in the house. • "Margery," said John, after a long pause of silence, "don't you think the boy is very much like our Willie, whom it pleased God to take from us so long ago ?" "Why, John, that very thought passed through my mind when I kissed him, as he stood, timid and trembling, at your side." After another long pause, he said : "Margery, lass, a strange idea has taken possession of me to-night. I somehow think that heaven has sent this boy to me as a Christmas gift." "A very strange thought, John," said Margery. "And yet not so strange, lass, after all. Where do all our gifts come from but Heaven ? and all are intended for our good. But then rises the solemn thought, dear wife, that we must all give an account of how we have used these gifts. Let us con sider this boy God's Christmas gift to us, and let us bring him up in such a manner that, when the time comes, we shall not be ashamed to render an account of our stew ardship." "It shall be as you say, dear John. Yet if a day should come on which his friends or relations claim him ! Oh, I know you too well not to guess what a heartbreak his departure would be !" "It would be a bitter parting for me ; still, for all that, let us do all the good for him we can, until that day - comes, if it must come, Margery, dear." Harry Fleming followed the remains of his mother to the grave. She was decent ly interred in the churchyard of Wilton, the expense being shared by the rector, the doctor and John, who often banded togeth er to do good. According to the story which Harry told to his kind protectors, while sitting on his stool between them at the fireside, one eve ning, it appeared that his father had be come, shortly after marriage, a drunkard and a gambler. He used to absent him• self from home, frequently for many days, and would, when he returned, beat his wife and otherwise treat her cruelly. At last his property was seized by his creditors, and he fled, no one knew whither, lelvinc , his wife and child to the mercy of the world. The poor deserted wife had neither friends or relations. She thought if she could but make her way to London she might find some employment. She started on foot, along with her son, to the great city, selling her watch and chain in a town on the road to get money with which to pay fur food and lodgings; "and," said Harry, as he concluded the melancholy tale, "I brought the last penny of the mon ey to your shop, good, kind Mr. Thurgood, and good, kind Mrs. Thurgood," and say ing this he laid his head in Margery's lap and wept. In the lapse of years Harry rose from errand-boy to chief assistant in the shop of the kindly old grocer. His highest pleasure was, when the hours of business were at an end for the day, to sit beside his kind protectors, by the fireside in the winter, or in summer in the little arbor, and read the Bible to them or talk about the events of the days gone by. While old John listened to the voice he loved so well, a pang of fear would sometimes for an in stant touch his heart. It was the dread that "his boy"—though Harry was enter ing upon manhood, be was still "his boy" —would be torn from his side. Oh. that he could only have looked into the future and seen that his fears were groundless! * * * * * Ten years have passed away, and again it is Christmas Eve. In order to wish his customers the compliments of the season, John has—a rare thing now—taken his place behind the counter. lie has enough to do. Everybody will shake hands with the silver-haired old man, and everybody will wish him many happy returns of the season. A man enters the shop who holds not forth his hand, and speaks no words of joyous greeting. He is about middle age, and has the appearance of a shabby genteel beggar; Harry asks him how he can be served. "I am a clerk out of employment." whines the man, "and I have not tasted f;iod since morning. Look, sir, at these documents, and they will tell you that I speak the truth." Had it been any other time, Harry would have given the beggar a copper or two, and troubled himself no more about him, but being the eve of Christmas, he, busy as be was, took the packet. He ran his eye over one of the papers. It was suf ficien t. The man who stood before him was his father. Harry wrote on a piece of paper which lie gave to him, saying : 'Take that to the coffee room as address ed, where you will be provided with food, and remain there till I come." The man with a stare of astonishment, took the note and left the shop. As soon as the shop was closed, Harry told John of his discovery. "Do not bring him here." said John, "lest I might say unkind things to him ; do not upbraid him, for it is a dreadful thing fur a son to speak like a condemning judge to a father. Speak to him gently. Tell bim that God is long suffering; that Jesus died for sinners, no matter how deep sunk in iniquity; tell him that while there is life there is hope. If he shows any signs of true repentance, tell him from me, that fT will introduce him to a friend of mine in London, into whose office he will be rOceived as a clerk, and in which he will 1)e retained as long as he conducts hinaFtelf well. Who shall attempt to des,,ribe the meet ing between father and son ! While the joyous bells were ringing forth a welcome to the Christmas morn, Robert and Harry Fleming stood by the mother's grave, and when the tears of the prodigal husband fell on the snow-covered mound, there was jc,y in the presence of the angels of Gud over one sinner that had repented. Robert Fleming may be seen any day behind his desk is Leadenhall street. He has been in the situation twelve years, and enjoys the esteem and confidence of his employers. *flat '4lliscellany. The Charms of Jaffa. What a stroll it was throuri the narrow strums of J:i ffa the streets that shoot un der the houses like tunnels and run up and down hill like stairs. flow the bazaars glowed with colored stuffs, and made the air sweet with perfumes that no seal can imprison. how the water gurgled in the great Saracenic fountain, with its marble troughs and its golden verses of the Koran. What a chosen spot it is, cooled by this bubbling water, where half a dozen streets run together and the fantastic bazaars group themselves in a circle about it un der the shelter of vines and fig trees. There the twang of traffic is softened in the smoke-clouds of the nargilehs and sooth ed with numberless small cups of coffee as black as ink and as thick as mud. All the sunshine of the East pours upon that de voted nook, and who visits Jaffa knows what it is to linger an hour within the charmed circle of its antique fountain over against the Jerusalem Gate—a gate that has been torn down, by the by—listening to the drone of the buyers and sellers, feeding upon figs, dates, oranges and sugar cane, sipping coffee or smoking jehile, while he dreams of the Holy City beyond the plain of Sharon. Prom the roof of Simon, the tanner's house, the charms of' Jaffa appeal to the eye. The town is thor oughly oriental ; it could not be transplant ed into any other land without at once be ing marked as an alien. Old as it is in one sense it is very fresh and young in another. The Jaffa of' to-day is very strong and lusty with the stirring life of travel. Through its narrow, crooked streets pass the huge caravans of the world. The eyes of all the nations of the earth have turned to it with joy. Tho feet of myriads of pil grims have waded in its summer dust, its . winter mire. The sea freighted with ships sings under its weather-beaten walls on the one hand, and the famed gardens, sweet with the odors of' unplucked grapes, oranges, pomegranates, peaches, figs, hem it about with bowers of perpetual shade upon the other. There stands Lydda, where St. Peter healed Eneas ; where St. George was born ; where the lion hearted Richard pitched his camp. Beautiful Ramleh, with its splendid tower, is further on by the green plains of Sharon. Ilerod and Sampson and David knew all this beauty.—U. W. Stoddard, in San Fran cisco Chron Fatality of Kissing. The Rochester Union condemns the pro miscuous kissing of little children, and styles it pestilent, if not murderous. Ad dressing an imaginary person, the Union goes on to say : Po you remember calling on your dear friend, Mr. Brown, the oth er day with a strip of flannel around your neck. Then when little Flora came dan cing into the room didn't you pounce upon her demonstratively, call her a precious little pet, and kiss her' Then you serenely proceeded to describe the dreadful sore throat that kept you away from prayer meeting the night before. You had no de signs on the dear child's life, we know ; nevertheless you killed her, killed her as surely as it' you had fed her strychnine or arsenic. Your carelessness was fatal. Two or three days after the little pet began to complain of sore throat, too. The symp. toms 'grew rapialy alarming • and when doctor came the single word diptheria ex plained it all. To day a little mound is the sole memento of your visit. The Uni on concludes with the following : "A sin gle kiss has been known to effect a whole family; and the most careful may be in a condition co communicate the disease with out knowing it. Beware then of playing Judas, and let the babies alone." Alen preserve the fire by blowing it; so by diligence, we must kindle the gifts God bestowed upon us. A grave whenever found, preaches a short pithy sermon to the soul. The Wild Dogs of Africa. Almost every quarter of the globe, where the large varieties of fern' no tor , : , are not thoroughly kept in subjection. hIA its variety of wild dogs. These animals al most invariably combine in large numbers fur the purpose or circumventing their prey. whic:i. as a rule. ronsists ~1 the noblest variety of game. In India the dholcs even attack and overcome the royal tiger. while the North American prairies and plains resound with the long•drawn and wild howl of the coyote while on the track of deer nr other large game of the forestr,r plain. En Afriea. and especially in the Somali conntry, and even nearer the regions in the direction of the Cape, a variety of old dog exists, which commits terrible ravages amongst the flocks and herds. When these are too well protected, and hunger drives them to seek a meal elsewhere, they, like their congeners, turn their attention to prey of which it would be thought they would have an instinctive dread. With them, however. they appear to he aware of the grand principle that union is strength. and. accordingly, they unite in a vast pack, and, with the aid of their wonderful in stinct and exquisite noses. hunt the largest. fleetest and most wary of the large African game to a standstill. and then tear ir t a piecemeal.

Drummond. in his notes on "The Large Game of Africa." says it is a marvelous sight to see a pack of them hunting, and drawing cover after cover, their sharp. bell like notes ringing through the air, while a rev- of the fastest of their number take up their station along the expected line of run—the wind, the nature of the ground, and the habits of the game, all taken into consideration. with the most wonderful skill; and then to see them after they have found going at their long, unswerving gallop, so close together that a sheet might cover them. while those who have been stationed. or had stationed themselves—it ie hard to say which—drop in one by one. as they find themselves unable to make the running any longer : and the chase generally a gnu or a water antelope. pressed first by ene and then by another, though it may dis tance the pack for a while. soon e.,rnea back to it, and is almost invariably rim into. "The only thing to which I can compare these animals," says Mr. Dripn mond, "and their instinct. a.s people Pall it, is a pack of hounds, hunted and whipped iii by members of their own body. and combining in one human reason and brute cunning and power." lie states that they do net show die slightest fear of man, and although he hj.s shot one or two at various times. ian other occasions he has not dared to meddle with them for fear of their combining in an attack on him. Mr. Drummond says that he once retie:wirers coming upon a pack of them scattered asleep in the long grass on the side of a hill, before he ktie..v they were there. One jumped up at his feet. and running a few yards. faeeil around and began to give tongue. This sienai roused up more. until the grass serene i to become alive with then', some jemping around him and joining in the chorus. but none attempting to run away. Being rather alarmed, Mr. Drummond picked out the two most clamorous, and shot them, whereupon the others retired, but only very slowly. They are curious looking animals. and have, as is common with all wild dogs, the erect car. Their skins are variegated. and they can, according to Schweinturth, be trained to hur.t, when they become almost invaluable to the natives. Indeed, Living stone mentions that the natives of the Kalihari Desert break and train them fur hunting. There are two varieties men tioned by some authors, but Mr. Drum mond says he only met with, one, of which Burton gives the following account : -The Waraba or Durwa is according to Mr. 13iyth, the distinguished naturalist, of the Asiatic Society's Museum, at Calcutta. Canis pictus sea Venaticus (Lyraon pict”s or wild honde of the Cape Boers). It seems to be the chien saraje, or Ago. of the French traveler. Delagorgue, who in his 'Voyage dans L'Afrique Au-q.raie: minutely and diffusely describes it." An Idle Word. How inadvertently spoken, and yet how frequently with serious and paieful results? How many hearts has an idle word severed —how many broken ? For true it is that a thoughtless expression will make a breach between those, that fate, in its visitations, could not divide; hearts that would have struggled together through the storms of life, that would have clung to each other for strength when its buffetings had almeet overwhelmed them—that would hove braved all the changes of fluctuating te.- tunes, and still see in their own unchang ing love a gleam of brightness through the blackest cloud. And yet an idle ward —one--has separated hearts like these.— The breach once made, others step in to make it wider and wider ; false pride, mis taken feelings, the sudden bitterness the heart can feel even toward these it loves, all aid the work of cruelty ; the distance increases day by day, until, finding it im possible to return, like the wrecked mar iner, they give up in despair, and sit down to mourn over their fate, careless, it seem', whether they live or die. And this is not the romance of youthful affection. thoueh there is perhaps more suffering front tee early disappointments of the heart than the more serious ones in after life produce. No, it is witnessed in the experienee of every one ; in the friendships of life, in the family circles, in bueiness ; what mis understandings, what ruptures, what *nick erings, strife and irreconcilable differences. have arisen from one idle wor,l ; it may have been spoken in jest, in a spirit of levity, in an attempt to he witty. er it may have been said innocently and inadrertantly,- with no motive and no intent, and :still. for some can-c of which you were totally ignorant a certain party applied the re mark, and in a moment a tiro bretel was kindled. Jokes are dangerous articles to play with ; they are a sort of mouth gren ades that are apt to explode bet'ore you are aware of it. A joker should understand their nature, and the nature of his corn pang well, before be introduces them.— He may suppose they will recommend him to favor, but be is frequently mistaken.— The man who labors to be witty, loses his breath and is considered to have rather a weak mind. Never was there a truer sen tence written, and one which, view it in every way, must result in the same conclu sion, that "A silent tongue showetlia wise head." IT 16 no disgrace not to be able to do everything, but to undertake and pretend to do what you are not made for is not only shameful, but extremely troublesome and vexatious.—Plutarch.
