To at tempt to cure had legs by plastering the edges of the wound together le a folly ; f or 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 successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflatnmation 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 eff from the' hard, swol len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or ulcer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poul tices applied over the affecteel parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same, and greatly assist the cure. There is • description of ulcer. sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this (hutment in urgently recommended as a sovereigt, reme dy.

Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub Ling the Ointment three timesa day into the chest, throat, and neck of the patient, It will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth 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 mariner fir the diseases named, or any similhr disorders affecting' the chest and 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 bad been well rubbed i ;it will graatly assist the cure of the throat and chest. T 0 allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten Pills 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 caores.

It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it most be well rubbed in fora con siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be taken into the system, whence it sill remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the ete. There again bread and water poultices, after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing down.

DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF 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 epece of time when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed.

Pilnitttionau,',stou. HEARTS OF OAK. BY GEO. WESLEY. Upon the banks of a small stream known as Brier creek, a stream that flowed into. the Santee river, was encamped, at the time of which we write, a body of Tories. It may be well to state just here, that the operations of the British in South Carolina were at this time contracted al most entirely within that section of country which was enclosed by the Santee, the Congaree and Edisto rivers. For the first time the British began to understand that their cause was doubtful. Bands of Tories and outlaws roamed the country, plundering from both sides, spreading death and desolation wherever they went. . . ft is with one of these roving bands that we have to do; a detachment belong ing to the troops of the infamous Col. Tarleton. It was toward the close of a pleasant afternoon near mid summer that we look in upon them. The camp was in the wildest confusion ; all the men seemed crowding toward a large tent situated somewhat Wk of the others. This tent was filled with officers and privates, while in the centre of the ring thus formed stood two who were evidently prisoners. They were a queer looking couple—a man and youth. The man was a Yankee, a tall, lank, loose-jointed, good natured fellow from New England. His companion was a frank, open-faced, rosy cheeked youth, of perhaps eighteen years of age. His form was well developed. and he possessed an amount of strength which few grown men would have cared to cope with. Si Keen, the Yankee, was one of the spies employed by General Marion, a fact which was well known to the British. At the time of his capture he was not engaged upon a spying expedition, but that made no difference to his unscrupulous enemies. Our young hero, Frank Ralston, was a friend and devoted companion of Si. Frank had lost his parents at the beginning of the struggle for liberty, and, boy though he was, he joined the patriot band under Marion. Ile had served his country faith fully. A warm friendship had sprung up between the youth and Si, who was an ac complished scout and trailer. He was in debted to the Yankee for his knowledge of woodcraft, and he had proven himself an apt scholar. They had been out together upon a foraging raid, and had fallen into the hands of their enemies. Although not captured within the enemy's line, yet the well-known character of the Yankee was enough to condemn him. As soon as the prisoners were brought into camp, a court martial was immediately held in the large tent before mentioned Although nothing could be proven against them, yet both were condemned with a haste and lawlessness which well became their captors. "Prisoners. have you anything to say ?" questioned the presiding officer. "You bet I hey !" cried the enraged Yankee, as soon as he could get in a word. "I calkerlate this 'ere's not reglar, no heow ! I want to kneow what's the mean in' of it Did yeou take me for a spy ? Did yeou find any papers or anything about me ? That's what I want to kneow ! Is this 'ere boy a spy ? I tell yeou no !" Si roared forth the above words at, the top of his voice, and glared at the captain in a way that made that worthy's face flush with anger. Frank stood looking coolly on, leaving his companion to do the talking. It was evident that neither of the prisoners were in the least afraid. "A very good argument, but you know you are a spy, and that ends it," replied the tory captain. "You will be hung at sunrise," headded. "Hung, is it, you beef•eating, beer swilling-" "Take them away !" roared the maddened captain. A few moments more, and our two friends found themselves confined within a strong wooden building. Darkness had settled down upon the scene, and the ex• citement in camp had subsided. "Frank," said the Yankee, as soon as they were alone, "just punch my head, will you ? Just roll me over and rub my ncse in the ground. Jist-" "Can't be done. My arms are bound together," laughed Frank. -"What good would that do you ?" "Oh, rich a consarned dolt ! Sich an egic ! Me, to go and git caught by them fellers ! Me, Si Keen, what was the best trailer of the Santee !" And the Yankee ground his teeth in his anger. It was evident that the fact that he had been caught and thus ca"t a stain upon his reputation as a scout, worried him more than the fact that he had but a few hours to live. The night passed slowly onward, and not once during its dark hours did sleep visit the eyes of the prisoners. They did not speak to each other, but sat in gloomy silence. Strange thoughts passed through the mind of our hero. So young, and yet doomed to die—to die, when life seemed to be brightest. It was hard, but he was willing to die for his country, and his faith in God prevented fear of death. He remembered reading somewhere that hanging was a painless death, and he re called, word for word, the exhaustive de scription of that writer. his mind drew a picture of his death, and he gazed upon it in all its horror. No such thought agitated the mind of Si Keen. His busy mind was marking out a plan of escape. After a long time, HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1877. and at the cost of a pair of skinned wrists, he had succeeded in slipping his hands through the rope which bound them. It was but the work of a moment to unbind his feet, although he could hardly stand when he arose from the ground, so be numbed were his limbs. He awakened .his companion, who had fallen into a dose, and together they sought for some way of escape from their prison. But, though small, their prison was strongly built. In vain they sought to escape. Morning dawned and they were still prisoners.— What availed it that they were free from the ropes with which they had been bound What availed all their efforts; if the morn ing found them still in the hands of the enemy ? The Tory captain smiled grimly when he saw that his prisoners had nearly given him the slip. A platform consisting of a single plank resting upon two upturned casks had been erected beneath a con venient tree, and the prisoners' arms hav ing been bound they were led out to die. The faces of our two heroes were very pale as they mounted the rude platform.— They fully recognized the fact that they were face to face with death. Hearts of Oak ! There was no sign of fear there : Why should we wonder that in a hundred years our country has grown to be the equal or any country on the globe ! Read the record of 1776, and when we see what manner of men were there we know that it could not be otherwise. "Prisoners, have you anything to say ?'' asked the Tory captain, as the ropes were being brought forward. "I have this to say 1" cried the Yankee. And as be spoke his form shot up in the air, and turning a complete hand spring, he dropped upon his feet directly in front of the astonished captain. One powerful kick, and the Tory doubled up like a worn out jack-knife, and although his arms were bound, yet Si disappeared in the woods, and running with marvelous quickness. Frank gave vent to a ringing cheer when he saw the escape of his friend. "Oh, you - needn't yell ! You'll have your neck stretched any how," and as he :poke, the hangman, who had mounted the plattbrm, came toward the prisoner now in hand. Ere he could reach his victim, however, a puff of smoke darted out from among the trees. With a groan, the hangman sank lifeless at our hero's feet ! The sharp report roused the Tories, and they sprang to their arms. Crack ! crack ! crack ! The sharp, whip-like reports rang out with startling distinctness, coming from every direction, and showing them that they were surrounded. The wild shrill notes of a bugle sounded and then with a wild cry the attacking party charged ! Frank knew that cry, and he echoed it as lie sprang from the platform. The next moment he was ch7sped in the arms of his friend Si, the Yankee ! "Marion ! Marion !" was the cry that pealed from the throats of the charging patriot band. Fiercely the battle raged. The Tories fought bravely. They knew that they were fighting for liberty, and perhaps their lives. But at last they be gan to yield. A cry went up from their broken ranks, but it was doubtful if the cry would have been heeded had not our hero used every effort to stay the tide of death. As it was, over half the tories were slain, while the patriots lost but two or three of their number. The prisoners, all of whom owed their lives to the youth they would have mur dered, were arranged in marching order ; and in this manner our friends left the scene of battle. On inquiry, our hero learned that by means of his spies, the "Swamp Fox" had discovered the dangerous position in which himself and friend were placed. As soon as he knew the truth Marion had dis patched a party to the rescue, with what result the reader already knows. peferrat Riatter. Ex-President Grant. Special to the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.] WAsulNGrow, March 18, 1877. Ex-President Grant, accompanied by Mrs. Grant, will leave Washington during the pres ent week on a brief visit to the West, with a view to arranging his private business prepar atory to his departure for Europe, and to occupy the time between this and the month of May, in which month the ex-President will sail. His youngest son, Jessie, now at college, is hastening his studies that he may accompa ny his parents, and it is for this purpose that they have delayed their trip. The President's party will consist of Mrs. Giant an: her youngest son. In speaking on the subject of his contemplated visit, the ex-President said that he had no plans, and that be will be absent at least two years, provided he does not get homesick before the extgra.tion of that time, in which case he will return sooner. He said that he had no preferences as to the countries, and had no doubt but that he would enjoy the visit. He thought, however, that he would spend much of his time in London, as the English people were more like our own. It is the desire of the ex-President to travel the same as any other citizen of the United States. It was stated of the visit of President Pierce to Europe, after his term of office that he was much embarrassed by the attention of the authorities. He at last found refuge in a secluded village. Here he enjoyed himself undisturbed for about three days, when his exalted rank at home was discovered. No soouer was this the fact than the people turn ed out en masse and gave him so warm a wel come that he was again forced upon his travels. Ex President Grant, in speaking of his retire ment from public, said that he now knew what it was to be a sovereign, and he greatly en joyed his relief from the cares and responsi bilities of governing forty millions of sover eigns. Coal Exchange Meeting. RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING THE ELECTION OF HON J. D. CAMERON AS UNITED STATES SENATOR. Pittsburgh Chronicle, 19th inst.] A meeting of the Coal Exchange was held this afternoon at the office of J. B. Sneathen & Co., Water street, when the following pre amble and resolutions _were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, Hon. J. Donald Cameron is a candidate for the honorable position of United States Senator; and, WHEREAS, Mr. Cameron, as Secretary of War, urged the passage of an act by the Pennsylva nia Legislature, granting to the United States authorities the right to condemn lands neces sary for the erection of locks and dams on the Ohio river, and thereby officially favorrip,- what we regard as a disastrous obstruction to the free and successful navigation of the Ohio river, but as Mr. Cameron has, on all former occasions, warmly and efficiently befriended our river interests, and being fully persuaded that he was not aware of the almost unani mous opposition of river men to the proposed obstruction, and wishing to recognize former valuable services ; therefore, Resolved, By the Coal Exchange of Pitts burgh, that we do most earnestly request our representatives from this county in•the Legis lature to favor the election of Mr. Cameron as United States Senator.

A Wonderful Invention The telephone is one of the most won derful inventions of modern times—the work of Prof. A. Graham Bell, of Salem, Mass. About five years ago he first began to think about the transmission of sound by telegraph, and the idea took possession of him completely. Some eighteen months ago, with the assistance of Mr. Thomas A. Watson, a practical electrician, he be gag to experiment with a wire two miles long, between Boston and Cambridge. The first practical success of the telephone was demonstrated October 9, 1876, over the private wires of the Walworth Manufac turing Co., of Cambridge, when the con versation of the operator in Cambridge couldbe distinctly heard at the Boston end of the line. Various other experiments were made, most of which were over the Eastern Rail road wire between Salem and Boston. One of these experiments, which occurred Jan uary 21, was eminently gratifying in its results. Not only every word spoken in Boston, but even the tones and inflections of the several voices were accurately trans mitted and rapidly recognized by those at the Salem end of the line. Other experi ments demonstrated the fact that a lady in Malden could sing "The last rose of Sum mer," and every note could be heard in a room in Boston. The sound was perfectly clear, and had the same effect as if the list ener were at the rear of a concert hall, say 100 feet away from the singer. Subse quent trials showed that laughter, applause or instrumental music could he equally well transmitted. In the case of the lat ter, not only the key could be transmitted but also the quality of the music. A vi olin could be distinguished from a violin cello. The greatest distance that has been van quished by the telephone is 143 miles— from Boston to North Conway. N. 11. The most recent improvements made on the in strument do away with batteries altogeth er, and permanent magnets are now ern: ployed instead, the electric wave being generated by the voice itself. This is a very important step in advance, as the bother and expense of keeping batteries in order has been the great drawback to the employment of the instrument for pri vate families. The honor of having re• ceived the first newspaper dispatch ever sent by means of the telephone belongs to the Boston Globe. A report of a lecture by Prof. Bell, in Salem, was transmitted verbally to it. This lecture was about the telephone, and in the course of the even• ing a series 9f remarkable experiments were made in the presence of the audience. Songs and brief speeches were sent from Boston, and the applause which greeted their reception in Salem was distinctly heard in Boston. Imagine sitting in a hall and hearing a man, eighteen miles away. sing "Hold the Fort." A practical test is to be made over one of the transat lantic cables at the first favorable opportu nity. The wonderful little instrument of whose future value to civilization the inventor is so sanguine, consists of a powerful com pound permanent magnet, to the poles of which arc attached ordinary telegraph coils of insulated wire In front of the poles, surrounded by these coils of wire, is dia phragm of iron. A mouthpiece, whose function is to converge the sound upon this diaphragm, substantially completes the ar rangement. The operation of the instru ment is thus described by Prof. Beli : The motion of steel or iron in front of the poles of a magnet creates a current of electricity in the coils surrounding the poles of the magnet, and the duration of this current of electricity coincides with the duration of the motion of the steel or iron moved or vibrated in the proximity of the magnet. When the human voices cause the dia phragm to vibrate, electrical undulations are induced in the coils around the man nets precisely similar to the undulationsof the air produced by the voice. The coils are connected with the line wire, and the undulations induced in them travel through the wire, and passing through the coils of another instrument of similar construction at the other end of the line again resolved into air undulations by the diaphragm of this instrument. The voltaic battery is entirely dispensed with. The line wire may be of any given length, provided the insulation be good. Prof. Bell further says that soft tones can be heard across the wires even more distinctly than loud utterances, even a whisper being audible. Breaking Down. Men often have their hands full, are overcrowded with business, and they drive hurriedly along at it, but they may not be overworked. We cannot always tell when we are overworked. A man does not al ways know himself—no more than he knows the strain on the mainsprir.g of his watch that will break it. But there comes a time when the watch breaks—:a click, a snap, and the watch stops. Men break down in this way. They go on, day after day, the pressure bearing harder each successive day, until the vital force gives out, and the machine stops. It is a great pity that the indications of this state of things cannot be seen beforehand, and, if seen, regarded. It is one of the last that men will admit to themselves, much less to others. They flatter themselves it is only a little wearit.ess of the flesh, which will pass off with a few hours' rest; when, in fact, every nerve power and resource are exhausted, and the system is driven to work by sheer force of the will. When the oil on the shaft, or in the oil box, is exhausted, every revolution of the wheel wears on the revolving part, and soon will ruin it. The same is true of the human body. Dull Boys. Don't be discouraged. Slow growth is often sure growth. Some minds are like Norwegian pines. They are slow in growth, but they are striking their roots deep.— Some of the greatest men have been dull boys. Dryden and Smith were dull boys. SI was Goldsmith. So was Gibbon. So was Sir Walter Seott. Napoleon at school had so much difficulty in learning his Latin that the master said it would need a gimlet to get a word into his head.— Douglas Jerrold was so backward in his boyhood that at nine be was scarcely able to read. Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest divines the Church of England ever pro• duced was so impenetrably stupid in his early years that his father more than once said that, if God took away any of his children, he hoped it would be Isaac, as he feared he would never be fit for any thing in this world. Yet that boy was the genius of the family. Walmer Castle. WHERE WELLINGTON WENT TO DIE. Over Weimer, sacs the London Wei-lit. yet hangs the shadow of the great captain. who loved the castle dearly as a dwelling place, and during his last nines went thither because he believed that nobody could die there. Marks of his handiwork are yet to be found, conveyinga di-tinet idea that utility should never be . - aerifieed to architectural beauty. A few of the rooms still blaze with yellow. the Duke's favorite color, and one. perhaps, hardly appreciated at its true value in this eirentry. Yellow curtains yet adorn the room in which he yielded up his steadfast soul. It is an odd room, large and convenient, but full of angles. On the side opposite to that formerly occupied by the little mova ble camp bedstead on which the Deice of Wellington slept—for he abhorred the traditional four-poster—still hang: the portrait of his godson, the Duke of Con naught, one at whose birth the warrior re ceived an odd rebuff from the nurse. Be asked, simply enough, Is it a bey or a girl r' and received the crushing reply. "It is a prince, your Greee. - Their h Inge the picture of the baby-prince in eap and frill, bib and tucker, over the fire plate. in his godfather's favorite room. It is to Lady Hester Stanhope's energy that Wei mer owes the magnificent grove. unellialled for hundreds of miles along the coast. Not often can grand trees he persuaded to grow on the sea-beach. Lady !fester did not persuade ; she commanded and compelled. Pitt happened to remark one day that Walmer only wanted trees to make it beautiful. No sooner had he left London than his niece galloped over to Dover, feet the three regiments that were in quarters there, and employed them in leveninix, fetching turf, and transplanting shrub and flowers. When Pitt returned she had her reward in the exclamation, ••Why. llester, this is a miracle!" and an eloqiieut eulogium upon her good taste in keeping to the style suited to an antique castle.— The trees planted—Pitt being Consul— are now stately veterans. and Lord I ;rln- ville is growing shrubs almost to the water's edge. "This room has a eulieue history," the present Lod Warden tells us; for many years it remained just as Mr. Pitt left it, with the same Nice on , the walls. But the castle was lent to the Queen and Prince Consort after their marriage, the wall of Mr. Pitt's room was pulled down, so as to join it to enotiwr apartment and make a new dining-ruem. On the Queen's departure, however. this wall was rebuilt in the old place. When Prince Talleyrand, during his embassy in England, came here on a visit to the Duke of Wellington, he asked particularly to occupy Mr. Pitt's room, and seeeneil to live there with some sense of triumph his idea was that he hail been treated rather slightingly by Mr. Pitt when he came over as secretary to M. C)avclin iu 1792. and that to Sleep in his rival'' , bed was like taking a species of revenge. Re collecting the carefully arranged wittieieme of the ex-Bishop of Antung culled mostly from the Improvisateur Francais, and in particular his trenchant remarks to the young man who could not play whist. we inquire of Lord Granville whether the great diplomatist played well himself. hinting that possibly his whist was like his master Napoleon's ehess. Probably Napoleon would have played chew as we ll, if' he had thought it worth as much atten tion as the art of war, replies Lord I:ran ville, as we pass to the rampart. where flowers—Lady Granville's pets'—nestle under the lee of the cannon, like Beauty seeking safety from Valor; hut your re mark that great men play games badly is nearly true. Talleyrand. who was an en thusiastic lover of whist. was a very bad partner. and when playing at the Travel lers came in for endless abuse from Lord Mansfield. He took it all in good part— paid his points cheerfully. an') went on playing, if possible. worse than ever.— Ghastly is the exact word to describe his appearance as an old man ; it was the most unearthly face I ever saw. But his ,in fluence on people was very greet. Von will recollect his simulated lameness to avoid rising in the ;presence of the King.. and his extraction from him of the threat to sit on the Pont de Jena lest Blucher should blow it up. When he nearly al ways had his way is difficult to tell, but he did have it. The Duke of Wellington said "that Londonderry was the bravest men he ever knew. and he might have added the most eccentric lie was always odd things. 11e dined once with Baron Rothschild at Bonlogne. near Paris, and was so delighted with his dinner that next day he offered the Baron's cooks anal vents double Wages to forsake their master and serve him. They were dazzled at the offer, and jumped at it ; but they hedtheir I reward. Their waee3 were enerrnoue. it is true, but they were not pea- Sad Relics. The little shoes stand in a relic ahrile apart. We know houses where the one locked drawer, which no one is permittcd to open. will one day disclose a whole life time of material sorrow—a sorrow which has never been charmed away. and which has saddened every year. taken the sin shine out of every stioliner. The dead ba!;y's playthings are laid there in that drawer, hell as sacred by the poor mother as the most holy relic that can be named by the most devout worshipper. The pale blue bows that tied up the last blue frock ever worn ; the golden curls that were cut oft on the morning of that sail death : the little shoes, blue, or scarlet, or white. with which the mother made her darling lovely to her own eyes when the pattering feet came hurrying across the room in the happy drawing room hour—there they all are ; tenderly laid as precious relies in a shrine; and when the hour comes for her, too, to go, those who are left behind will find them, as a man might find indications of a long past time. and they will under stand then what it was that made the p •or childless woman so often sail. and someriou4 always, with such a wound in her heart. such relics reminding her of a lost happi ness—perhaps the greatest in the world. and the saddest to lose. No one will then wonder at her melancholy face and touch ing air ; though, perhaps, while she lived. all sorts of explanations were given—and. some said she was unhappily marriel and some that she had a wretched tempter, and what a home she must have made for her husband —Republic. SIMPLICITY of purpose begets simlllicity of life. This is manifested not in one way merely, but in every way. There is iv) double dealing in businem. There is no praying for the salvation or sooli and then for the sake of making money, helping them down to hell in the ordinary avoca tions of life.
