How, wo would not bo «n UonftoQd to say that any one regards dyspepsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank it among the luxuries of life. Far Irom it. Those who jMivc-cxperlenccd.Jls-tormouta-wouldßcout.hUCh_ •'anMdeaj*AlltlreiuHl;amlwoiild-glttdly dispeii*©- with Its unpleasant familiarities. Mark Xnpley who was jolly under all tho trying circumstan ces In .which ho was placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia, or hl« jollity would have speedily forsaken him. Men and.women sometimes suffer Its tortaresamcompUlniugly, bat whoev er heard of a person who enjoyed them? Of all tho multifarious diseases towhlcli tho human system Is liable, there Is perhaps no one so aoncrally prevalent as dyspepsia. There are diseases more acute and painful, and 'Which more frequently prove fatal, but none, the cl* foots of which are so depressing to tho mind and so positively distressing to tho body. If there is a wretched being in the world it Is A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC. But It Is uotourintentloulo discantonlbo hor rors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthfully is simply an Impossibility, but It Is possibly to point out a remedy. Wo have said that dyspep sia Is perhaps tho most universal of human dis eases. This Is emphatically tho case in-tho United Slates. Whether this general proyn lonco is duo to tho ohavoolor oi tho foou.tho method of its preparation, or the hasty manner in which It is usually swallowed. Is not our pro vince to explain. Tne great fact with which wo are called to deal la this: DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS ulmost universally. . . . . Nearly every other person you meet is a Me tiai, an apparently willing one, for wore thisnot Iho case, why so many sufferers, when a certain, speedy and safe remedy Is .within the easy ruocli of all who desire lo avail themselves of It? But the majority wllLnot, Blinded by preju dice. or deterred by some other unexplained In fluence, they refuse to accept Iho relief profer ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony of the thousands whoso biillerings have been al leviated, and with strange iqlatuallon, appear to cling wltli d speruto determination to then ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic: What isthls remedy? to which wo reply: Ahls groat alleviator of human suffering is almostus widely known ns the English language. It has allayed the agonies of thousands, and Is to-day carrying comfort and encouragement to thou sands of others. This acknowledged, panacea is non fin U HOoi'l?AND’S GERMAN BITTERS. Would you knotv more oi the merits ot inis wonderful medicine than can bo learned from the experience of others? Try It yourself, and when It has failed lo fullil the assurance of its ellleacy given by the proprietor, then abandon faith In It. first of all, that iioofland’s Gorman Bitters Is not a runi'beverage. , ' They are not alcoholic In any sense of-the term. They are composed wholly of the pure juice or vital principle of roots, This Is not a mere assertion. The extracts irom which they are ’compounded are prepared by one of mo ablest German chemists. Unlike any other Bitters In tiro market, they are wholly free from spirituous Ingredients, The objections which hold with so much force against preparations or this class, namely—that a desire lor intoxicating drinks Is stimulated by their use, are not valla in the cose of the German Bitters, bo far from encouraging or mculatlng a taste or desire for Inebriating beverages, It may be confidently as* sorted that their temlencyds In a diametrically oppdslto direction. Their effort* can bo - BENEFICIAL ONLY in all cases of the biliary system Iloolland’t German Bitters stand without an equal, acting promptly and vigorously upon the Liver, they remove its torpidity and cause healthful secre tion of bile—thereby supplying the stomach with the most indispensable elements ol sound digestion in proper proportions. They give tone to the stomach—stimulating its functions, and enabling It to perform lie duties aanaturo de signed it should do. They Impart-vigor and strength to the entire system, causing the pa tient to feel like another being—ln fact, giving him a new lease of life. THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD. cleansing the vital fluid of all hurtful impuri ties and supplying them with the elements of genuine healthiulucss. In a word, there is scarcely a disease in which they cannot he safely and boucllclally employed ; but In that most generally prevalentdlstrcsslugand dread ed disease. Dyspepsia, THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Now, there are certain classes of persons to whom extreme liters are not unpalata ble, but who find it impossible to take them without positive dlscomiort. For such Dk. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC has been specially •prepared. It is Intended for use whore a blight alchohol stimulant is rcqulr* cd in connection wltli the well-known lunlu properties of the pure German BlUovh. Xms Tonic contains all the Ingredients of the BUlcrL. but so flavored as to remove the extreme bittci uess. Tills preparation is not only palatable, but combines, In modified form, all the virtues of the German Bitters. The solid extracts of some of Nature’s choicest restoratives are held in solution by a spirituous agent of the purest quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil ity where the system appears to have become exhausted of its encngles. acts with almost marvelous ■ eflect. It not only ■ stimulates the bagging and wasting energies, but invigorates and pcnnauctly strengthens its action upon the Liver and Stomach thorough perhaps less prompt than the Bitters, when the same quantity Is taken Is none the less certain. Indigestion, Bllllousaesa, Physical or Nervous Prostrotlon,' leid readily tolls potcntlnlluence. It gives the invalid a nowand stronger hold upon life, removes depression of spirits, and in spires chcorfuldess. It supplants the pain of disease with the ease and comfort of perfect health. It gives strength to weakness, threrws despondency to the winds, and starts the re stored invalid upon a new and gladsome career. But Dr. Hootland’s benefactions to the human race arc not confined to his celebrated or his invaluable Tonic. Helms prepared an other medicine, wolch Is rapidly winning Its way to popular-favor because ol Us intrinsic nICr HOOKLANU’S PODOPHYLLIN PITJ,S. a perfect substitute for mercury, without any of mercury's evil qualities. These wonderful Pills, which are Intended to act upon the Liver, are mainly composed of Podophyllln, or the VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE Kow we desire the render to distinctly under stand thal this extract ol the Mandmkcla many times more powerful than the Mandrake Ukhll. It is the medicinal virtues of this health-giving plant in a perfectly pure and' highly ccmcenna ted form, iienco tt is that two of the Podophyl dn Pills constitute a full dose, while anywhere six to eight or a handful of other preparations of the’Mandrake aierequired. The Phodophyl lln stimulating Us functions apd causing. It to make Its biliary secretions in icgimir and proper Quantities.. Tho injurious results which Invari ably follow the uso of mercury is entirely avoided by their use. Hut It is not upon the Liver only tbatyiclr powers are exerted.

Possessing these much desirable qualities, the Pod6phyllln becomes Invaluable as a No household should be without them. They are perfectly safe, require hut two lor an ordina ry dose, aro prompt and eillclent In action, and when used in connection with Dr, Hoolland’s German Bitters, or Tonic, may bo regarded as certain speclllcs in all cases of LlverComplalnt, Dyspepsia, or any of the dlsordeis to which the system Is ordinarily subjec. The * PODOPHYLLIN BILLS. act upon the stomach and bowels, carrying oil* improper obstructions, while the Ritters or To nic purify the blood, strengthen and Invigorate the iramo. give tone and appetite to the stom ach. and thus build up tho'lnvaird anew.

Linden was our second stop on the run out—thirty-eight miles —and the. town, with its dulh.crooked, half-paved streets, its quaint old cathedral, and pretty out lying country seats, was very dear to me, for hero Nellie lived when first I knew her. I hod always-looked forward pleasantly to our arrival at Linden, for, as our train came thundering up to the depot,on these long summer evenings, Nellie was often there, awaiting my coming, and while Joe was watering the engine, I managed to have a few pleasant words with her before wo were ready to start again.— Then, as the'hell-rope signaled go ahead, and I stepped upon the engine,she waved me a pleasant good bye, that seemed to give me heart and strength during the rest of my long ride. So time passed pleasantly on, until T told Nellie one day the story X had so longed to tell her, and heard tho anawer. for which my heart had hardly dared to liope. How light were* my labors, with her love to cheer me on ! How dear the thousand little evidences of that love, offered in her own sweet delicate way. Wo were to be married in the autumn, and all ‘went merry as a marriage bell.’ when an accident occurred to me as I was running the ‘Firefly I —my. dear old engine, down to Linden, which materi ally altered our plans. I hud started four minutes late, and was going at a lively speed, when, as we swung around a curve, wo saw a man coming down the track, waving a red flag. Whistling ‘down brakes,’ we were soon at a standstill, and leaving Joe to take care of theenglne, I hurried forward with the conductor, to see the cause of the danger-signal. Coming up with the flag man, we learned that a freight train was oft* the track, a mile further up the road; and for two whole hours we waited on the main track; while the heavy freight cars were being unloaded and- righted. At last,' ‘clear track,’ was signaled, and I sounded the whistle for ‘all aboard.’ ‘Put her through pretty lively when you get clear track,’ said Charley, the conductor., ‘l’ve telegraphed ahead, and we’ll have right of way straight through. Now let her jump, Harry, and we will make up time before we reach Sadler’s. Twilight was fust coming on us. The switch lights ahead winked their red eyes and showed a pair of white pries, to tell ua all was right; the hoadlightjof our engine was lit up, throwing a stream of light down the track, and with one long shriek from the whistle, wo started down the road at a rapid pace, with a clear run ahead of us of twenty-one miles to Mar ketfields Junction, our first station, Ah,if I could have looked ahead—only as far as Marketflelda--and could have seen the broken rail which lay waiting for me at an ugly curve, would I have told Joe to ‘keep up the fire and see that forty pounds were on the boiler, aa we must tear along as fast as Firefly could carry us?’ Wo were bounding across the country at a terrific pace, leaving behind us a long train of sparks and heavy clouds of black smoke, the engine swinging from side to side,and almost leupingthetrnck at every turn of the driving wheel. On—on with out slackening speed ; on over the great plains and into the woods beyond; then under the trees and out into the clearing again; thundering under the atone arch- Ways, flying past the country stations, whvre the rustics were huddled together to see the great train pass; on—ou without pause or rest, through the valley and into the mountain gorge, whoso rocks echoed back the shrill whistle I sounded as.wo swung around the curves. The night was upon us as we neared Marketflelda, and Joe and I were seated at either window, our eyes fixed intently on the track ahead, watching for any obstruction on the shining rails, which were glistening like silver serpents In the brilliancy of the head-light. Marketflelda lights came in sight, and X drew the rope over my head. A long, shrill whistle sounded over the country, announcing our coming. As wo swung around the curve I repeated it. 'Good Heavens, Harry! Look ! look j look!’ And Joo’a hand struck mo a blow as he sprang to my side in a sort of terror, and grasping the whistle rope, sounded repeatedly, ‘down brakes.’ BTUOHM & Co. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1871. |jflcW. 1 WOMAN'S WORK. THE ENGINEER'S STORY. I bad seen it loo—the figure of a-wo man upon tbe trade,ruuuiug towards us. as she wildly waved berabawl in the air, ono arm uplifted waruingly,. her face was turned full upon us in an agony of terror, her flowing golden hair lit up )n the light of the engine, as we rushed down upon her at fearful speed. I reversed*tho wheels again and again, the whistle hoarsely shrieking out its Warning; but :tao7Jate:taDQ:Jatft,s~^Cei^ro“upisa^hoir r as she uttered a wild cry of terror, turned from the track, and stumbled, the engine striking'her with a fearful shock, hurling her far into the air, mangled,and torn. Amid the shrieks of the whistle wo rushed around the curve, our speed fast slackening, when with a great bound that shook the engine in every joint, it sprung from the track, plunging into and ripping up the ties, twisting the rails, plunging from side to aide, and then pitching into the ditch,, with a shock that flung me insensible. . When I came to, I was lying on the .floor of a farm house, while close around me was a crowd of anxious spectators, from whom escaped a general exclama .tion of joy ns X opened my eybs and looked up at them. What did it mean? 1 raised myself up on one arm; and, passing my hand across my brow, tried to comprehend why I was there, and who were those people about me. All was bewilderment and confusion in my poor brain, and it was some little time before I gathered my scattered thoughts. Then a realization of What I had passed through came back to me, and a cry of horror burst' from me as they .told me I had killed the woman I had seen upon the track. I buried my face in my hands as a vision of that upturned face came before me, so full of agony and of dumb pleading. Then I roused myself, but they told me to lie still until the doctor came; then, as I insisted I.was not hurt beyond a few ugly bruises, they assisted me to rise, when I found myself stiff and sore. My first thought was for Nellie. I knew how anxious she would he. I knew all she would* suffer until .she beard I was safe, so I asked for pen and paper, that I might send .her a telegram, telling her I was well, and would be in Linden that night, where I would re main. This was forwarded to her at once. They told me then, in a rambling way, fcach one adding an item, the story of the accident. . A broken rail had thrown us from the track; and the girl whom, wo had killed had evidently discovered it while walk ing home upon the track, and, hurrying forward, had Imped to warn us, and mis calculated the distance and speed of the engine, she had been caught under the great wheel before she could turn from its path, having nobly sacrificed herself in order to save the great train and its precious load. Bo much had been surmised of her iu. teutions, and Joe and X, of course, con firmed the story. Sho was a lovely girl of seventeen, the only daughter, they said, of a neighboring farmer—John Dixon. ‘Poor girl! Dear, noble-hearted girl!’ I said, wiping away the (ears tiiat ill led my eyes and choked my utterance. X sat silent for a moment, thinking what I could do to show my sympathy (or the parents in their terribly sad be reavement. At last X called a man to my side—one who seemed to he giving orders, and who seemed to have the di rection of matters, and steadying my voice, said, quietly : •Where is she—the poor girl, you know ?' ‘They have taken her home; they took her home as soon as she was identified, poor dear.’ ‘lf yon please I would like to go there, if yon think they would see me. God knows I did not do it, and-Ho knows that I would give this right arm,’ I said, bitterly, thrusting it up into the air, ‘to have san;d the poor girl; but I cannot rest'easy'; I can never have an easy heart until I have gone to them and heard them say with their own lips that they forgive me. ‘-You see,’ I said sor rowfully, ‘I didn’t do it—of course not— T didn’t do it. Heaven knows how hard I tried to stop up short. But—the poor girl, she is dead. It is all over now; and it was ‘Fire-Fly and X who did it. So, if you please, if you would be good enough to go with me, X would like to go down to them and tell them, in such words as I can, how their sorrow,ls mine, and how . completely my heart sympathizes with them to-night.’ ■ I was very stiff and sore, and it was with some (\lfflculty that I walked across the room, but be kindly gave me his .arm, and I knew I could manage to walk lo Dixon-farmouly a spare mile, he said. I was, putting on my hat in the’ hall, and adjusting my arm in a sling, prepar atory to starting, when the tramp of many feet was heard bn tho piazza, and the door was flung open. A man stepped Into the passageway, and held the door open for those to enter who were carry ing the remains of some poof victim up on a bier. ‘Who is it?’ I asked, softly, address ing him who had held wide the door. ‘The girl,’ he whispered, as he raised his hat. Ah, poor creature! All I could do for her now was to bow my head reverently, as they bore her past me, while my heart swelled with emotion, and in admiration of her noble conduct. They laid her down gently, and thou, taking off their rough caps, Waited si lently for further orders. The doorway was filled by those who had followed tho bier; the stairway by those who had come out from the rooms above, some with lights in their hands, and all gazing earnestly, almost curious ly* upon the figure resting so quietly and peacefully in the passage way. All was hushed and still—in tho crowded door way, upon the crowded stairway, in the hallway, where stood the six stout far mers who had borne her in on their shoul? dors. ‘Ah, poor child,’ I said, while my heart throbbed quickly, ‘how gladly would I give my life to restore yours, so nobly, so generously given !’ Then in very love for her —she seemed near and dear to me in death—l leaned over her, and taking one of her little hands within my own, kissed if, and re placed it gently under tho white sheet from which it had escaped. There was a bustle in the doorway, as of some one pressing through the crowd, and sounds ns of aobbiag and weeping.’ ‘Make way for the parents,’ was hoard from the doorway, and tho eager crowd fell hack respectfully, as a plain farmer and his wife came forward, filling thoair with their cries. The sheet was turned back from the features of tho dead girl, and What! Wasl mad? Shriek after shriek burst from mo as I flung up my arms of my own loved one—Nellie I What'is there for me to add to my sad tale? Need I tell you of the weary mouths passed in delirium, tho coming tonud re alization of the horrible reality ? But of Nellie—my own darling. It aeetns she had gone to Marketflelda, that day, and had intended to return upon my train to Linden. While waiting at the depot, she learned that the train was two hours late, and then decided to walk down tho track, and (hen oIT by a little side-road, which led to tho house.of a frieud. Then, as tho time for tho com ing of the train came around, Nellie started for tho depot, accompanied by a young hoy, who carried the lantern.— While walking up the track, and within a hall-mile of tho depot, they discovered the broken rail, and Nellie hid the hoy run in baste to the depot with the tid ings. She heard the whistle of Ihe train,’ said Hu* boy, afterward, ,‘far down thro’ tho hills, and she just stopped for one minute, while she caught her hand to her heart, and her face turned aa white as the snow. ‘Hun! run, Jammio !’ she cried out us though her very heart was breaking, ‘Oh, run I run! for heaven’s sake!’ And with one awful cry, such as 1 never heard before,.she turned and fled -down tho track, toward tlio coming tr ain awav iutp the darkness. 3 When they found her lying at the side of the track—my heart grows sick as I write these last words—they mistook her for a young girl of the neighborhood, who had heed seen.on the track shortly before. Of tho joy of her parens at the, discovery of the mistaken identity, and •or ""lyiy" desolation; J t"need-''nobpepeft'k v—" Many years -have come and gone, but timo does not seem to soften my grief, nor efface from ray mind the’vividness of 'my last ride to MarkotUelds. HOW THEY BREAK WILD HORSES IH TEXAS. Those who have never visited the re gions where wild horses are caught or reared, have but little idea how thenn tamed steed of the prairies is rendered tractable and useful. At the present day, in Texas, the hordes of mustangs that formerly ranged over its vast , prairies have become almost extinct in the set tled portions, and confine themselves to the extreme eastern counties Ih their place are horses, mostly crossed with the American stock, which are iu a state of semi-wildness—that is, they roam at will until certain seasons of the yeur, when all such as can be caught are driven iu herds to huge pens constructed for the purpese, to be branded and marked, after which most of them are'let loose to roam at will again. When the owner of a portion of the herd desires to break any of his youiig horses, ho proceeds in, this wise ; The first movement is to I/isso the hqrse se lected, by the head and fore feet, and throw him to the earth ; then a kind of hair halter, called a ‘bosal, ’ is put on his head, both to serve as a bridle or to stake the animal by, it being much more effec tual than a halter or bridle in checking his frantic efforts to liberate himself; He is either tied up closely all night or stak ed at the will of the owner; The next morning the sport begins. All stock and horse raisora have one or more vaqueros, which they employ for the especial purpose of breaking and rid ing wild and refractory horses. These go out, followed by all the members of the family, and’procecd to overhaul their saddles, and see that there is no defect in the * rigging.’ When, they are satisfied that all is secure, they lead, or rather drag forward tbe steed. He 1 is alternate ly led, dragged, and whipped forward, until he reaches the point where he is be saddled. A leather strap attached to the bosal is then pulled over hla eyes, and a saddle-blanket is dropped gently on his back, but very seldom remains at the first trial, as he will almost invariably shake it off. After one or more‘trials, •however, ho submits to both blanket and saddle. The latter is strapped on tightly with two girths, fore and flank, strapped Indeed so tightly, that one unaccustomed to the sight would think that it was in tended to cut the animal in two. The rider now adjusts the stake-rope into reins by tying it securely to the bosal, leaving a long epd by,which to hold on, in the event the horse should succeed in throwing him. Everything iauowready forthe mount. The rider adorns his heels with a huge pair of spurs, stands directly facing the horse, abreast or a little forward of the shoulder, seizes the underpart of tho y bo sal with his left baud, pulls the horse’s head round near him to prevent being kicked, takes the stirrup in 'his right hand, and, turning it towards him,places his left foot in it firmly. Grasping the pommel, ho now gives thosaddie a shake or two, makes one or two feintsat mount ing to see how his horseship will take it, and then suddenly springs, seating him self securely iu the saddle. The blinds of course are still over tho eyes of the horse; and', as a general thing, he stands with his neck stretched out and his head partially down—a perfect picture of awkwardness. The rider is at ills ease, and adjusts himself and every thing about him with the greatest care, as he knows there is warm work before him. When ready for the start,he reaches gently forward and slips up the blinds. Naturally the horse Is rather astonished at first, and refuses to move. A sharp ap plication of whip and spur, however, readily induces him to change his mind. He takes, timidly, one or two awkward steps; then, suddenly doubling himself up, until he resembles a camel, throwing his.head down between his fore feet, he begins a series of pitches, whichconsisc in jumping as high and as far as ho can,, coming down stiff-legged. ' Those who have accomplished the ex traordinary feat of going down a flight of stairs at one step can form some faint idea how it feels to ait on the back of a pitch ing horse. We have only described the manner in which most horses are mounted, and how they act at first. Some of, tho more vicious will lie down when the-saddle is buckled on, and it, requires a tremen dous amount of whipping to get them started ; some will rear and full back wards, occasionally killing their rulers ; some will pitch straight ahead for quite a distance, while others will pitch straight forward for a few jumps, and then, as the Texan say, ‘swap ends so quick it.makes your head swim.’ Fortunately, they soon tire of such violent exorcise, being totally unaccustomed to a saddle or weight up on their backs, and break down com pletely in a few hours. The saddles are then taken off, and they are reserved for another trial next morning. This exer cise is continued for a week or more, ac cording to tho nature of tho horse, when he is pronounced gentle, and is tractable enough for a good rider ; but woe to the unsuspecting greenhorn who is templed to place himself on his back. A few of tho horses are naturally gen tle-natured, and never, unless frightened in breaking, attempt to cut up at all. — Those who love tho horse, and desire to see him roaming at will in his beauty and symmetry, with glossy hide- and flowing mane and tail, should go to the prairies. ‘lt Was Powder.’—Recently a young man, employed to overhaul a quantity of paper, cards, and other printing material lu a job printing office, on Market street. Sun Francisco, California, discovered a quantity of stuff that had tho appearance of powder. ‘That looks like powder, and I should not be astonished if it was pow der,’ said the young man ; * I’ve a good mind to try If it is powder, 'But, pshaw! come to think what could powder be do ing in a printing ofllce? No, I guess it’s black sand. That’s more than likely.— Sand is used to dry ink; yes, it must bo sand. But there’s a big lot of it; almost a keg. Now, if It should only happen to bo powder, I could make., a. speculation by selling it, because the hunting season is coming on. Byjiminy! I guess I will try a handful of it.’ Having resolved to make the experi ment, the young man caught up a hand ful, carried it olf some twenty or thirty steps, and deposited it on tho floor. Ho theii took a piece of paper, and having lighted it, tossed it upon tho black sub stance. Tho paper burned brightly for a moment. ‘O, pshaw I it ain’t powder, after all. It won’t burn; just my luck; I never find anything that is worth shucks.’ The paper by this time had buruetTdown, and a single spark fulling struck the powder, and there was a sud den flash. There had been a few grains of powder dropped along tho floor, and a bright, sparkling flame flashed along tho floor, like lightning athwart a dark horizon, and in a second more there was a terrific explosion. Tho old valise, con taining tho powder, was hurled through the room, and tho cards and papers were scattered in glorious confusion In every direction. Tho room was filled with smoke, and the young man was spread flat on his buck, but fortunately not hurt. A number of persons rushed in to see what was tho matter. They assisted the prostrate youth torlso, and Inquired into the cause of his mishap. He looked at tho wreck about him, ami heaving a deep sigh, said, ‘By jingo, it was powder that, after all!’ YOL 1 58.-HO. IT THE WHEELBARROW BUSINESS. “ It is related of Girard, that when a young tradesoian having bought of him' and paid for a bag of coflee', proceeded to wheel it homo himself, the shrewd old merchant immediately offered to trust his customer for as many bags ns he .might desire. The trait of character re pealed by tho yoflng man lu being hla -o-wu-porter—had-given— j thO--mllllouai ’TtfnflT l efi‘ tion was made with Girard. Ho became a favored dealer with tho enterprising merchant, throve rapidly, and in the end’ mado a fortune.”— Exchange. This sort of thing might have worked well with old Girard, but it don’t fool anybody now. I have tried it. I bought half a pound of*tea at Peuderry's the other day, after reading the above para graph, and wheeled it home in the most ostentatious manner, to see if Penderry, who was looking on, wouldn’t offer to trust me for all the tea that I wanted, but he didn’t. On tho contrary, I heard him speak up sharp to a clerk as I went around tho corner, asking him if that tea was paid for. I afterwards took a wheelbarrow’ and went to a flour store on Central Avenue. Bought a small bag of flour, 25 pounds, I think, and loaded it on, the head oi the concern looking at me with apparent in terest. ‘Now/ I thought, ‘is my opportunity. This is a Girard feller. He will tell me to come and get all the Hour I can wheel away, and pay when I get ready. Per haps lie will oiler, mo a partnership in his store.- Thou I spat on my hands and whipped them over my shoulders to,en courage a vigorous 1 circulation, rubbed them together smartly, and clutching tho handles of the barrow* started off at a brisk trot. I had proceeded about a square, when I heard some one shouting after.me. looked around, and saw the Hour man coming on .a dead run. ‘Ha, ha!’ thought X, ‘the thing works admirably. The example of Steve Girard Is not lost. I haye revealed a trait of character in being my own porter, to say nothing of my beer, and my fortune is made. Tlie Hour and feed mad recognizes my merits, and comes tooffer me a full partnership. As be approached, I saw he had some money in his hand. ‘He is at least,’ I said, ‘going to return me,my. money; 1 There was a severe look on his face as lie came up to me, which did not' accord at all with what I had pictured of Girard's countenance to have worn when he gave the carte blanche for coffee. While reflecting that it might be ‘his way,* he said : ‘ Sir, I want you to go right back with me to ray store.’ ‘lt is coming now,' though I did not quite like his tone. ‘Wheelbarrows are about to receive their reward. He is going to offer me a partnership; perhaps to turn over his entire business, to me.’ I was consequently elated. Then.l said to the Hour and feed man (just as though I didn’t know, you know, the clever things ho meant tofdo for-me,) ‘May! enquire . for what purpose, sir?’ ‘Certainly, you may,’ be replied,-with a darker Irown than before. You shoved this one dollar counterfeit- bill to my clerk, and you mustcorne back till I get a policeman. Oj you needn’t try to look so innocent. I auspicioned you when I saw you coming round to my store to got sucb a little jagbf flour as that. Watched ye to see ye didn’t steal nothin’. You see you can’t fool an old hand like me. 5 Here was a turn in affairs that would have astonished old Girard himself. I tried to explain. Assured him that I supposed the note to be genuine. He was incredulous for a time, and was disposed, to have me locked up and the wheelbar row detained us a witness—but he finally let me off on my redeeming the note. The wheelbarrow business Is all a hum bug. A man can't make a character in any such way. And the chances are that ■ he will Jose what little ho starts out in the world with. —The Fat ContrUmior. WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS. What did the olci Egyptian know about the oldest of tno arts, about farm ing? He kuow how to manage his great rivorHthe ono souice'of moisture and fertility in that climate—so as to turn the desert beyond its banks into a gar den, and make Egypt a storehouse and granary for the surrounding nations. He built so huge as to retain suffi cient water from the overflowing river to feed it when subsided—a lake four hun dred and fifty miles arouud and three hundred feet deep—and this lilted up with a skillful system of floodgates, dams aud locks. These were water works ou a stupendous scale, truly ! As to what he know about .building, who has not heard of his pyramids,those vast masses, some of which were old in the lime of Abraham, and yet built with such faithfulness and skill that the ma sonry is still perfect? He know how to quarry and move huge masses of stone, ninety feet in length, and then cover thorn with accurate and beautiful chisel ing. The whole laud was full of these wonderful statues, obelisks, tombs, and temples. About manufacturing, ho kuow how to weave linen so flue that each separate thread was composed ot three hundred aud sixty-live small threads twisted to gether, He know how todye it in purple and blue aud scarlet, and how to embroi der it. He kuow how to get iron aud copper from mines at Biuai, and how to make useful tools of them when he had obtained them. Butwhat did ho know about science ? He understood geometry well enough, at least for laud surveying. Ho understood tlio rotundity of the earth, the sun's cen tral place in the solar system, and the obliquity of the ecliptic. He could foretell eclipses, tlio position of the planets, the true length of the year. Ho had found out a method of notation—two of them, indeed, the decimal aud tho duodecimal, As for chemistry, its very name (from Cliemi, which means Egypt,) tells us where it was first studied. No wonder that tho Egyptians got the reputation among their more ignorant neighbors bt being magicians. As for books, tho old Egyptians made paper aud wrote ou it, and we have now papyrus foils, made in tho time of the early Pharaohs; but ho wont ou further to turn his buildings, his obelisks, oven his collius into books,- inscribing them with histories and bio graphies, by representing ou them, thro' paintings aud sculpture, all his occupa tions and beliefs, his hopes aud fears.

DOLDSMITH MAID'S BREAT TIME. X Milo lu 2:17. A despatch from Milwaukee gives a lively description of Goldsmith Matdjs great performance on the Cold Spring Track .on Wednosdayi The trtek is a • fen l , feet over a irflle long. .Site trotted -Uiodlratjieat in 2:2P],-and-thonj2jnc-liex —^ Brest 'worrwtliirraffoTid-mllor-liudd Dobio drove her tho report says :- Twenty minutes elapsed; then the hor ses were called up for tho second heel. The Maid had dried completely, sud looked gamer than ever as Budd drove her past the stand. She, shook her little head, and her bright eyes fairly danced with mischief. The start was effected without trouble this time, and the bell sounded at Uio first effort. Both mares trotted very fast to the quarter, but here the pace was too hot for Lucy, and she slackened her speed. Tho Maid was dashing down the course like lightning. She drew around tho quarter pole, and flew away from tho other like a kite before the wind. It was evident to all that Budd was driving for time, and instantly every neck was stretched to catch his move ments. He bent down in his sulky and encouraged tho little flyer by gentle words and manipulations of the reins.— The little mare responded nobly, and flew around the turn. All eyes were on her. No one.cared for Lucy, nor did they seem to regard her for an Instant.— Goldsmith Maid and her flying feet Were eagerly watched as she styept into the home stretch. On she came, like a fly ing lawn, Budd never casting his eye to' the right or left. Ho was drlviug tho mare for speed, not merely to win Ike heat. Ho had never touched her witli the whip, never called to her. in a loud voice, but simply let her slip .along in her own way. She passed under the string with perfect ease, six lengths ahead of Lucy. As she did so a long, lank, lean badger crossed tho track, holding in his hand an old silver watoh. He was almost crazy with.exeitement. He gesticulated wildly, and shouted; 'f bet a thousand dollars that's the best time ever made on any course.’ The spectators looked at the badger, ami laughed in derision ; nevertheless every one was satisfied that fast time had been made. All eyes were on tho judges’ stand. There seemed to he some hesita tion there about announcing the time.— Presently the board was hung out, and on it was written the astonishing figures 2.17. A shout went.up, but only a mo ment; there must ha va mistake some where. “ Why, that beats Dexter’s time,” said everyone. Tho correspond eut was in doubt about tho trustworthi ness of the judges’watches. Ho at once mounted thestandaud interviewed thorn. There were Mr. S.B. Davis, PresuMU of tho Cold Spring Association, H. C. Bradley, Secretary, and A. Burnham, the principal contributor, of the purse. ■They all held their watches in their hands, stopped at the instant the mare crossed the score. Bradley’s watch stood 2.IB?-, Burnham’s 2ISJ, and Davis 2fIT. The delay in announcing the time was caused by this variance, and tbo judges agreed to mark tho slowest time recorded, which was 2:17. . Not fully satisfied yet, tho correspon dent went after Budd Doble. He found him looking after the maro at the stable, about half way round the first turn. Ap proaching him, he said, ‘Mr. Doblo do you know you have beaten Dexter’s time?’ He answered, ‘so I have just heard. Well, the Maid trotted faster to-day than tever I drove her. She was iii splendid condition ; and when I. started on tho second heat I saw she wanted tv go, ami so I concluded I would let her go. Her owner, Mr. Smith, of New York, told me not long ago that when I got ;• good place I should try to wipe out 2:1.';. To day I thought the time had conic, and I went .for it* Lucy was in splendid 'Au dition, too, and 1 never saw her fi *. t U - ter. She trotted the first heat in a way that forced the Maid to a lively pace.” Tin; TRACK JIORE THAN A JIILH, Milwaukee, Sept. V,— Cold Spring race course, over which Goldsmith Maid made her fain«us time yesterday, was measured to-day, and found to be sixty nine feet more than a mile. WEREWOLVES AND SWAN-MAIDENS. The significance of all these sealskins, feather-dresses and mermaid caps and werewold-girdles may best be sought in tho etymology of words like the German. lcichnam t in wnich the body is described as a garment of flesh for the soul. In naive philosophy of primatlvo thinkers, tho soul, in passing from one visible shape to another, had only to put ou the outward integument of the creature in which it wished to incarnate itself. -With respect to the-mode of metamoipliosis, there is-little difference betweeu tho werewolf and tho swan-maiden ; and tho similarity is no less striking betweeu the. genesis of tho two conceptions. The orig inal werewolf is the night-wind, regard ed now as a mau-like deity and now as a howling lupine fiend ; and the original swan-maiden is the light ileesy cloud, regarded either as a woman-like goddess or as a bird swimming in the sky sea.— Tho one conception has been produotlve of little else but horrors; the other has given rise to a great variety at fanciful creations; from the treacherous mermaid and the fiendish nightmare to the gentle Uudino, the charming Nausikaa, and the stately Muse of classic antiquity. We have seen that the original were wolf, howling in the Wintry blast; is a kind of psyohopomp, or leader of depart ed souls; ho is tho wild ancestor of the death dog, whoso voice under the window of a sick chamber is even now a sound of ill-omen.
