All descriptions of sores are remediable by the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at tempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog gy diseased condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound and to soothe the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint ment as salt is forced into meat. This will cause the malignant humors to be drained eff from the hard, swill. len arid 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- I ices applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same, and greatly aseist the cure. There is a description of ulcer, sore and @welling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereigt reme dy. In curingsuch poisonous sores it never falls to restore the system to a healthy etste if the Pille be taken accord lug to the printed Instructions. DIPTHERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERS. Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub king the Ointment three timesa day into the cheat, throat, and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must cperate upon the whole system ere its influence can be • fdt in any local part, wherein; the Ointment will do its work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find themselves re heard as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten l'ills'shonlrd 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 PILES, FISTULAS, STRICTURES. The above class of complaints will be removed by night ly fermenting the• parts with warm water, and then by most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer ing from these direful complaints should lose not a mo ment in arresting their progress. Itshould be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in for a con siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be taken into the system, whence it will remove any bidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. 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. INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH ;-SORES AND ULCERS Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi cally cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills taken night and morning, as recommended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another; whereas this Ointment will remove the humor front the system, arid leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.— It will require time with the nse of the Pills to insure a lasting cure. 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 space of time when this Ointment Is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed. In all serious maladies the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions ac companying each box.

BY ALBERT PIKE The Spring has less its brightness, Every year, And the snow a ghastlier whiteness, Every year: Nor do Summer's flowers quicken, Nor Autumn's fruitage thicken As they once did, fur we sicken Every year. It is growing darker, colder, Every year, As the heart and soul grow older, Every year. I care not new for dancing, Or for eyes with passion glancing, Love is less and less entrancing Every year. Of the loves and sorrows blended, Every year; Of the joys of friendship ended, Every year: Of the ties that still might bind me, Until time to death resigned me, My infirmities remind me, Every year. Oh! how sad to look before us, Every year, While the cloud grows darker o'er us, Every year! When we see the blossoms faded, That to bloom we might have aided, And immortal garlands braided, Every year. To the past go more dead faces, Every year ; Come no new ones in their places, Every year. Everywhere the sad eyes meet us, In the evening's dusk they greet us, And to come to them entreat us, Every year. "You are growing old," they tell um, "Every year; You are more alone," they tell uP, "Every year. You can win no new affection, You have only recollection, Deeper !sorrow and dejection, Every year." Thank God ! no cloud.. are shifting, Every year, O'er the land to which we're drifting, Every year. No looses there will grieve ne, Nor loving faces will leave u., Nor death of friends bereave u., Every year. Ce MY FLIRTATION. _/_ BY A MARRIED WOMAN - z I had plenty of beaux when I was young, and liked that very well. However, I had heart enough at ifottoni, and when Stephen Lashley asked me to marry him, in the end I consented, though I kept him in suspense a long while at first. Neither Steve nor I was rich. My father had sufficient income to keep the family in a good style of living; but be saved nothing, and I could expect nothing from him when I was married. Steve had just begun to practice medicine, and was struggling as young doctors must. There was a pretty house just outside the town, that Steve and I had our eye on for a long time, and I bad promised to become his wile as soon as he would call it his own. By dint of such struggling and economy as I never could have guessed be had put by enough for the first payment, and was plodding patiently on toward the second and last. I can see now what a selfish creature I was, what a wretch, indeed, to please my self with the flatteries of others, while Steve was working so faithfully for me . That sounds as though I wasn't going to marry Steve for love, but I was. Our town was something of a fashionable resort for summer boarders; and many of the people were in the habit of taking boarders then. Father had always ob jected to our doing so ; but this summer of which I speak he fell in with a stranger, as he was returniug from a long ride in the country, who having shared his phmton with him during his homeward drive, suc ceeded in so ingratiating himself with my father that he allowed him to board with us. The stranger was very much in my line —distinguished looking, possessing au elo quent pair of eyes nearly the color of my own, and having a propensity for saying "pretty things" that was just delicious to a girl of my turn. It was such fun to draw him out and then laugh at him ; to pretend pleasure, then shyness; to invite and repulse in the same breath. It was genuine flirtation, as much to him as to me. Steve came often to see me, but he did not see me alone, and he never stayed late. Steve's sister Marian and I were inti mate, and spent much time together. Poor Steve enjoyed my visits to Marian better than he did seeing me anywhere else, and I liked it too as much because of seeing him as Marian. It was then a miserable piece of heartlessness for me to permit Mr. Fordyce, the stranger, to accompany me thither, thus parading, as it were, my con quest, and the accomplishments and at tractions of Steve's new rival, in the most disagreeable manner possible. Steve was good natured, and kept his disappointment to himself; but he did not like Mr. Fordyce, and he was quite alone in that. Everybody liked Mr. Fordyce but Steve. He was an immensely popular man in our small community, entering as he did with such genuine zeal into all our interests and bearing himself genially to wards all. When Parson Hammond, who lived nearest to us, lost a valuable horse from his stable, and came over to our house to see about pursuing the thief, Mr. Fordyce, though he had just got home from a jaunt with some friends, which kept him most of the night, insisted on being one of the pursuing party, and, indeed, quite led it. It was the same way when Mr. Dudevant's store was broken open and robbed. Mr. Fordyce went over and over the ground, and gave shrewder guesses as to how the robbery had been managed than any one else. When other thefts of's similar nature, and also of lesser degree, continued to vex and puzzle us from time to time, it was Mr. Fordyce who insisted on severe meas ures, prevailed on the authorities to offer large rewards for the apprehension of the offenders, and made himself so active in the matters as to win the gratitude of the whole town. co n ..../ . co fa 0 16 1 cs, He often joined our social gatherings and became the life of them. I was quite envied in having his escort so frequently, and the rumor was very soon circulated that we were engaged. . . Steve and I had some words on the sub• ject several times, and, because it was so unusual for him to insist in such a matter, I resented it when he did; and _the more I suspected myself to be in the wrong, the more I would not own it. I detected Steve's dislike of Mr. For dyce, and taxed him with it. Steve said nothing, but only shook his head and looked gravely at me when I praised him. HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1.877. He never said worse about Mr. Fordyce than that he did not believe him. Steve objected to my 'lntimacy with him on rather general grounds, and I answered in such an ill tempered manner that Steve, not being ice but flint, struck fire and re torted angrily for the first time in all our acquaintance. The result was a serious coolness. Steve apologized for his part of it the next day, but I listened coolly and retained my anger. I flirted with Mr. Fordyce more des perately than ever after that, but the affair had really lost all its relish for me. I went recklessly on, however, in my foolish course, till Mr. Fordyce in so many words asked me to marry him. I don't know what it was about the man that all at once struck me as insincere. I know that he did not mean what he said ; and yet he wore a very lover.like-air, and he would have clasped and kissed me if I had not shrunk swiftly away from him' I answered him, however, as though he had spoken sincerely, and told him, what I did not often acknowledge, that I was engaged to Stephen Lashley. No man likes to hear "No" from a woman's lips when even his petition is an idle one. For the first time, I saw Mr. Fordyce's face dis torted with a sneer of mingled anger and dislike; and I knew that my poor Steve's strange feeling toward Mr. Fordyce was reciprocated by that gentleman with at least equal intensity. One night there was a party at Steve's father's. It was Marian's birthday. Mr. Fordyce took m 3 over at about 8 o'clock. It was a gay party. We had dancing, which we did not always have, and the music and supper were good. I danced with Steve several times, and being in good spirits found it rather difficult to maintain the distance I had lately adopted toward him. His eyes, too, had such soft, tender light in them, and his lips such brightness. "Come into the garden a minute, Bell," he whispered to me at the close of a dance ; "I have something to say to you ;"—and for the life of me I could not say no. When we were in the bright moonlit garden, he stepped where a clump of lilac bushes hid us from the house, and drew from his bosom a roll of notes. "I shall finish paying for our house, to morrow, dear," he said, in a voice that ex cessive hsppines made tremulous. "1 drew the money from the bank to-day— twenty-five hundred dollars. Ah, how I have,worked for this hour :" I should have been harder than a mill stone if I had not forgotten all my foolish anger at that moment. If I had not melted rather from my coldness; for I was as glad as he was, and I dropped my bead on his shoulder there in the moonlight, and cried happy. happy, remoneless tears. "Steve," I said, "you shall let me keep the money until morning. I shall think I hare dreamed if you don't." Steve laughed, but he let me have my way. Ah, what a foolish whim it was ! Few women would bare dared to take charge of such a sum of money, and fewer men would have permitted them. But Steve knew it was as safe, to all common calculation, with me as with himself. As we turned toward the house, for a single instant I thought I saw the shadow of a man across our path; but, looking back, I saw nothing but the lilac bushes tossing in the air. "What's the matter ?" said Steve, noti• sing my backward gaze. "I thought I saw the figure of a UM crossing the path," I replied. "Nonsense !" lie replied, and we were indoors. Well, Steve and I were the happiest pair there that night; and Mr. Fordyce saw, and could not quite keep his eyes from saying that he hated us both for it, or I fancied so. The party broke up at 12 o'clock ; that was late for us, and Mr. Fordyce, having brought me there, took me home. On the way he told me of another robbery that had taken place the night before at one of the hotels. A person had been robbed of $5OO, which he bad just received at the bank. Perhaps it was that story that made me, tired as I was, bestow some thought on a hiding place for Steve's mon ey. I pondered very seriously as I took down and arranged my hair; then, with a laugh at my own ingenuity, I tucked the roll of notes in my luxuriant tresses, and drew a net over to hold all in place. I was asleep almost the same instant my head touched the pillow. I ought to have slept soundly, and dream ed happy dreams, but I did not. Some counter influence seemed to ruffle my slumbers and I awoke. Some one was in my room. I knew it as well as though I could see, and the room was too dark for that. There was no sound either, bat for all that I knew that I was not alone. I tried to scream, to raise my voice. I was frozen with terror. I never thought once of the money, or robbers, or anything, that I new of. I was only fright ened so that I could not move band or foot, or make a noise. I don't know but I stopped breathing. I can remember how cold I felt, though the night was warm. Suddenly, without the warning of a breath, I was conscious that a hand was creepinc , stealthily about my pillow. I did not think of money even then. As terror had stolen my senses, so now it brought some of them back. I gave one scream and sprang from the bed, or tried to. Two strong hands stopped me ; a firm hand held me, while the other hand vainly sought to loose my hair. The net, more obstinate than nets usually are, would not come off probably because, in his hurry, my mysterious assailant was unconscious of its pliant meshes. He pulled my hair in his awkward attempts horribly. The pain was like a spur to me. As his arm lay across my arms, I bent•my head swift ly, and fastened my teeth upon it with a viscious snap that only a woman in my sit uation would have been capable of. The unexpectedness. of the attack die solved my bonds. With an audible oath he let me go, and I darted away with winged feet and met my father in the pas sage. Of course I fainted then and there; and by the time anybody got into my room, my robber had made good his escape. Alas, however, he should not have allow ed himself' to swear, above all, to a woman of such acute ears, as I had heard the voice, and I knew it belonged to Mr. Fordyce. Father fairly turned pale when I told him ' • but he cautioned me not to betray thatl suspected any one present,O he took Steve's money under his secial charge. We all met at breakfast. I should have said that Mr. Fordyce had made his appearance about the same time as the rest of the family whom my screams aroused, and in the most natural manner. lle came down to breakfast now, smi ling, and just interested enough in my ad venture. Father went away into town after break fast, and Mr. Fordyce sat in the garden and smoked. The officers who came to ar- rest him stole upon him from the back way and secured him before he thought of re sistance. It was a plain case. They found proof enough of robberies he had been at the bottom of all along, hid away in his trunks, and he owned them at last, with smiling nonchalance, turning back his sleeve actu ally when no one was looking, and show ing me the prints my teeth had made on his right arm, and kissing them with the old gallant empres.snient. Of course Steve made his payment, and we were married at an early day. cstlett )jlistellanp. Tweed's Confession. We publish the following purported con fession of William M. Tweed. We do not believe this document is what it is repre sented—that is, a confession. On the con trary, we think that it' Tweed has made any statement it is in the possession of those who will keep it out of the hands of newspaper men. But we publish the state ment for what it is worth, and as such it must be received by our readers : The confession is a lengthy and exhaus tive document, purporting to give a com plete history of the Ring from its very in ception, following it through its successive steps until the municipal government of New York was under its absolute control, detailing its operations through State Leg islatures by which the corrupt charters of '7O and '7l were passed, and producing the checks and memoranda as proofs of the complioity of various persons, heretofore suspected of such complicity or otherwise, in its various transactions. The confession goes as far back as 1867, when the ring first began to assume form. It gives in detail the story of the various conferences between the writer, Peter B. Sweeny, Richard Connolly, Henry Genet, A. Oakey Hall and others, by which Tweed was elected to the State senate. Connolly Comptroller in 1867, and Hall .Mayor, .January 1, 1869. The steps which led to the drafting of the charter of April 5, 1870, by which the control of the city was finally given over int) the hands of the ring, are then pointed out, but the sensational features of the document are reserved 6,r a detail of the methods by which the passage of that charter by the State Legislature was secured. It was necessary, says the confession, to obtain the support of several influential Republican members. The person whose influence was most valuable, Mr. Tweed considered to be State Senator William B. Wood* of Auburn. He therefore ap proacbed that gentleman through State Senator Winslow with various proposi tions looking to his support, and after sev, cral interviews with iVinslow transferred to him in person the sum of $200,000, with the understanding that it was to be used in securing the passage of the char ter It was his understanding► with Winslow at the time that the money was to be di vided between Messrs. Woodin, Samuel Frost, of Richmond; Augustus R. Ellwood, Osego ; William H. Brand, of Leonardsville; Norris Winslow, of Water town ; James Woos:, of Genesee ; Isaiah Blood, of Saratoga; George Morgan, of Dutchesi—all members of the State Sen ate; aul also with Messrs. Van Melton, Williams, Crowley, Merriam and Beaman for their influence in the Legislature. This money, in various amounts, he has assur ances was after wards paid to the parties named in the compact with Winslow. He was a member of the State Senate at the time, and all the persons named voted for his charter. After the passage of the charter (which received the signature of Governor Hoff man the same night) he arranged with Mayor Hall for appointments to all the municipal offices. April 9 the list was completed, with Tweed as Commissioner of Public Works, Peter B. Sweeny at the head of the Department of Parks, Henry Smith at the head of the Police, and John J. Bradery as Chamberlain. The confession then proceeds to give in exhaustive detail the proceedings of the board of audit of May 5, 1870, when so many millions of claims were passed upon, together with the ratio of fraud to the real merit of the separate claims. It gives the circumstances of the division of the spoils between himself, Sweeny, Hall, Connolly and Woodward, through whom the divis ion was made, as well as the particular amounts set apart for the various trades men and mechanics by whom the claims were presented. It implicates Garvey, In gersoll, Davidson, Watson and a majority of the members of the Board of Supervis ors—among them John Fox. Jas. Hayes, Henry Smith and Isaac J. Oliver. Mayor Hall's proportion was 10 per cent. Ile shared throughout in all the profits, was in full collusion with the va rious details of' fraud, and was fully aware of the fraudulent nature of the contracts presented for his signature. lie secured from the Board of Police the John L. Brown street-cleaning contract, and shared in its proceeds With reference to the document purporting to be a record of the proceedings of the Board of Audit of May 5, 1870, by which Mr. Hall on his trial secured an acquittal on the grounds that he acted only in a ministerial character, Mr. Tweed says that it was manufactured after the exposure. Hall came to himself and Connolly after the exposure with that document in his own handwriting and already signed by himself, and asked them to sign it also. Each of them did so, and then Mr. Hall took it away. The resolution was never presented to the Board of Audit, and was of course never passed by it. The next Mr. Tweed heard of it was when produced in court, purporting to have been found in the County Auditor's safe. Among the various persons to whom he paid money for their influence in the Leg islature, besides those already mentioned, was Mr. Hugh- Hastings, editor of the Omunercial Advertiser. He gave to Mr. Hastings a cheek fur $20,000 dated three or fourdays after the passage of the char ter of 1870, with the understanding that the money was also to go to Senator Wood in. The check, however, afterwards came back to him from his bank, where the mon ey was duly paid, indorsed by Mr. Hast ings and also by his broker, Jenkiss Van Schaick. Mr. Tweed says that lie after wards gave Mr. Hastings, at various times, checks for smaller amounts than the above. Mr. Hugh Hastings brought Mr. Jay Gould to him, continues Mr. Tweed. The circumstances of the arrangement between himself, Gould and Fisk, by which the Erie Classification bill was passed, which practically enabled the Gould directory of the road to continue indefinitely in power until the bill was repealed, are well known. In return fur this the Erie influence, through Gould and Fisk, was used in be- half of Tweed and his associates. The confcssion says that all the painting and bookcases in Recorder Hackett's hone were paid for by the city. Mr. Tweed purchased the votes of sufficient members of the Common Council to secure a major ity and the passage of any of his meas ures, and the names of these various per sons, as well as of many others, whose in fluence was obtained by similar means, are given in the conf , !ssion, together with the amounts paid to each. He also obtained a majority in the Board of Supervisor: by the same means, and the names of the cor rupt members are given, with the lams paid to each. Among the members of the Board of Aldermen mentioned are M rgau Jones and Thos. Cowan. lie gives the names of five persons who he promises, ifimmunity is given them, wily swear to the truth of all his state ments. He has preserved all his checks and kept memoranda of all his transactions, all of which will be placed at the disposal of the State. Of the five persons named are E. D. Barber, ex-Senator James Pierce, of Brooklyn ; Alexander Frrar. and William Kink, Tweed's former deputy as Commissioner of Public Works. Shortly after the publication of the -se cret accounts" in .July, 1871. Mr. Tweed says that Francis N. filthy and ex-Sher iff (then State Senator) James O'Brien came to him and offered to secure him against any further investigation of his bank accounts, his relation with the city. or indeed, from any further trouble, if he would pay 8150 000 toward O'Brien's claim against the city for 8'..196,000 fin- un paid fees. The two represe-.ted to him that they had such influence wer Mr. Tilden. -lodge Barrett, and William C. Barrett as to im mediately quash any further steps in the pending investigation. Mr. Tweed says he paid them $20,00) in cash and mort• gages which they afterwards collected far the rest ; and he understands that they af terwards secured the same amount from Connolly upon the Siirrlß representations. Ile says that he does not ennsitier that O'Brien's claim has any real merit. lIn;11 Smith, Sweeny s particular friend. attended to ail the transactions with Judge Cardoza by which judicial action was ta ken in behalf of the Ring. Mr. Tweed says that the Navarra claim of 4000.00 against the city. now pend ing in the courts, being for water-meters furnished to city i 4 a fraud. The contrast with Mr. Navarro is fraudulent. and the meters never answered their pnrpnse. He mentions Mr. Thurloer Weed by name, but does not connect him with any etinivocal transaction. Ile mentions Judge Folger, of the Court of Appeals. and Ge o . H. Purser, of New York. as persons (0 whom he paid money. The confession concludes with the prom ise that the writer will he a wttneea for the city in any snit brought by the city for the recovery a moneys frau) any of the persons mentioned.

He obtained a situa tion in the old house of ri x id e ll A pi er ,, o3 , and in the course of time, made a contract for three years at five hundred dollars per year, or an aggregate of fifteen hundred dollars for three years. Jost after making this contract he was called on one day, by Mr. 17rist, of spies. Cri-t h Co.. who said to him, "Mr. Lake, we have had our eyes on you for same time; your fidelity and application to business please u.s We have been looking for just such a man to take charge of an important department of oar business. We offer you three thousand dollars the first year, five thousand the s.'e ond, and seven thousand the third " Mr. Lake replied : ••1 am obliged to you, Mr. Crist. for your good opinion, but I cannot accept your offer " Mr. ('rist was surprised —Why not. Mr. Lake ?" "Because I just made a contract with Upsdell & Pierson." "But not on such terms as we offer you. Mr. Lake ?" `•No, certainly not," replied the ponr,r, man "Is your contract with 17pideI! k Pier son in writing. Mr. Lake'" "No, sir," "Well, then, it is not binding," said Mr. Crist. "It makes no difference." was Mr. Like's reply ; "I have given Upsdell & Pierson my word." Three years went on, Mr. Lake support ing his wife and child on $5OO a year. They boarded on Canal street at 88 a week. Near the end of the three years Mr. Pierson one day said : "Mr. Lake, we wish to say to you that we are much pleased with you. Among all our young men you have been most faithful. We know where you go. When your daily duties are over you go home. We arc so much pleased with you that we have decided to offt.r you an interest with us." Mr. Lake replied, "I cannot accept it, Mr. Pierson." "Why not ?" "I have no capital and I will not bar row." It was Mr. Pierson's turn now to be sur prised. "But, Mr. Like, y:)I will stay with us?" "I will stay, Mr. Pierson. but you must make it an object." Mr. Lake then, fur the lust time, told of the offer of spies, Crist & Co., three years before. This he had kept to himself, 2s liitbful 'to his duty at SSUO a year as he would have been at $5,000 or $7,000 though he could not always keep out of his mind the tempting offer he had put aside. Mr. Pierson said : "Mr. lake, on what terms will you remain with us'" "I can not both buy and sell the same thing, Mr. Pierson. It' my services are desired by you, make me an offer." They parted. The next day Mr. Pierson said: "Mr. Lake, my partner and myself have determined to make you this offer: $lO,OOO per year for ten years. - "All right, Mr. Pierson, I accept. And so, by fidelity and patience on 8:100 per year, George G. Lake laid the foundation of his fortune. He is one of God's noble. men. His heart is warm with sympathy fur the struggling and slffering. THE other day a house in Putman Con necticut, in which there was a sick negro, was struck by lightning, and some of the near neighbors going in to see what had become of him, he peeped out from under the bed-clothes, cove red with splinters of wood and broken pieces of plaster, and cooly asked :—"Am dar going' to bo an nudder shower, honeys ?"
