COB'S COUGH BALSAM !
Tuts long tried and popular Remedy is again
called to the attention of the public. As often
as the year rolls around, the proprietors annu
ally make their bow to the people, and remind
them that amongst the many things required
for the health, comfort and sustenance of the
amity through the long and tedious months of
winter, Coe's Cough Balsam should not be for
gotten. For years it has been a household medi
cine—and mothers anxious for thesafety of their
children, and all who suffer from any disease of
the throat, chest and lungs, cannot afford to be
without it. In addition to the ordinary four
ounce so long in the market, we now furnish
our mammoth family size bottles, which will,
in common with the other size, be found at all
Drug Stores.
FOR CROUP,
The Balsam will be found Invaluable, and may
always be relied upon iu the m-st extreme
cases.
WHOOPING COUGH,
The testimony of nil who have used It for this
terrible disease during the last ten years, Is,
that It In - variably relieves and cures It.
SORE THROAT
Keep your throat wet with the Balsam—taking
little and often—and you will very soon find. re
lief,
HARD COLDS AND COUGHS
Yield at once to a steady use of this great
remedy. It will succeed in giving relief where
all other remedies have failed.
SORENESS OF THE THROAT, CHEST
AND LUNGS
Do net delay procuring and immediately tak
ing Coe's Cough Balsam, when troubled with
any of the above named ditniculties. They are
all premonitory symptoms of Consumption, and
if not arrested, will sooner or later sweep you
away into the valley of shadows from which
none can ever return.
IN CONSUMPTION,
Many a care-worn sufferer has found relief and
to-day rejoices that her life has been made easy
and prolonged by the use of Coe's Cough Balsam.
IN SHORT,
The people know the article, and It needs no
comment from us. It Is for sale by every Drug
gist and Dealer In 'Medicines in the United

"We'll All Meet Again in the Morn
ing l"
I=
Thus spake a fair child who was dying,
To a heart stricken, sorrowing one,
"0 cease, dearest papa, from crying,
For to-night my dear mama has come
"I hear the sweet sound of her whisper
And a host of bright angels appear,
Mid the harpists is dear little sister.
And they all are waiting so near."
"Bright scenes on my vision are dawning,
Heaven's glories are tilling my eye,—
We'll all meet again in the morning,
Good-bye, dearest papa, good-bye!"
Could Angels more sweetly have spoken
Those `words, to that father, how dear
Of the future, so bright was the token—
It banished each sorrowing tear.
Would'st thou meet all thy loved "in the
morning?"
Won'Whit enterYbit blessed abode?
God grant that we all may take warning,
And Journey the heavenly road !
"Our Daily Bread."
A beggar-boy - stopped at a rich man's door—
"Z am houseless and friendless and faint and
powr,"
Said the beggar-boy, as the tear-drop rolled
Down his thin cheek blanched with want and
cold.
"Oh give me a crumb from your board to-day,
To help the beggar-boy on his way !"
"Not a crust, not a crumb," the rich man said,
"Be off and work for your daily bread !"
The rich man went to the parish church,
His face grew grave as he trod the porch ;
And the thronging poor, the untaught ma:N.
Drew back to let the rich man pass.
The service begun, tae choral hymn
Arose, and swelled through the long aisles dim ;
Then the rich man knelt, and the words he said
Were—" Give us this day our daily bread!"
Illisretinttrono grading.
Thomas A.. Scott
"Railroading" is a term that has not yet
found a place in the dictionaries of our lan
guage, yet it is a phrase that has a specific
meaning. The president of a road, and the
brakcsmUn of a train, may properly be said
to be engaged in the business of railroading.
There is one noted peculiarity about rail
way employznents,especially those connect
ed with the running of trains, (attended as
they are with risks to life and limb,) and
that is the tenacity with which railroad men
cling to the business—resembling the sail
or who has spent many years on the "ocean
wave," never feels at home in any other oc
cupation.
The public chroniclers of passing events
keep the great reading community well in
formed in regard to collisions, explosions,
and the various accidents to the machinery
and rolling stock of railroads. But who
has over furnished accounts of the "wear
and tear" of brain and body of those upon
whom the management of a road depends ?
Who that is familiar with the physical and
mental wrecks strewn along our great high
ways, can faithfully tell how much brain
and how much body has been "smashed
up," that the public and their freight may
be speedily and safely transported to their
destinatipn ?
There4re - SOLI/0 Well whom the - ouerotts
labors of important railroad positions have
not as yet been able to exhaust. Among
these few, Thomas A. Scott, of the Pennsyl
vania Central Road,stauds most prominent
ly. There still remains to him that same
elasticity of mind and body, as when but a
boy he first left Columbia to try his brains
and energy with a host of men, vigorous in
thought and action, who have since passed
away, lion. F. W. Hughes, of Schuylkill
county, said to the writer a short timesince,
that what surprised him so lunch in the ac
quirements of Mr. Scott, was that he should
know so much about law, and yet he was
nu lawyer; Jor it was Mr. S. who aided hint
on one occasion when he (Mr. Hughes,)
had thought he had exhausted the law's
legality. This to come from so able a coun
sellor as F. W. Hughe4, is more than a
compliment.
A word to railroad men, why Thomas A.
Scott has done so much and stilt retains his
mental and physical vigor; he early learn
ed to sleep. He found that the want of an
over-taxed mind. was sleep, and whether
upon a load of pig iron or upon uu oil bar
rel, he learned to sleep. One time between
Altoona and Pittsburg, we found hint in the
corner of a car as "snug as a bug in a rug."
and if we had not known him, we would
have taken him for a second-class emigrant;
but reaching Pittsburg, he was ready for
work, both mind and body. Sleep had re
cuperated the man and brain that had been
worked out.
Outside of his splendid record as a rail
roader, Mr. Scott has shown conspiciously
in other responsible positions. At the dark
period of the great rebellion, in order to
secure for the government the most efficient
direction attainable in the transportation
of troops and munitions of war to distant
points, he was called to the highly import
ant office of Assistant Secretary of War.
His previous and thorough education in
railroading fitted Mr. S. admirably for this
special duty in the service of the govern
ment. His keen perceptions were at once
put into requisition, and under his masterly
supervision everything was made to move
with clock work regularity. Mr. Scott is
one of the most modest and unassuming
men we; ever knew. Ile has no ambition
for newspaper fame, and we are quite sure
that had he been consulted as to the proprie
ty of publishing this unpretending article,
he would have said no. Our own justifica
tion for doing so may be found in our be
lief that the people have a right to know
something about public men--especially
such as occupy leading positions,and whose
great labors are devoted to the advance
ment of progress and the furtherance of
beneficient enterprises whose works,
though unseen, are felt far and wide, even
to the far off borders of the Pacific.--Steck's
Railway Guide.
Tun following remarks are timel k y : The
Protestant ChUrCh7ACLn says that "in some of
our 'fashionable' congregations a man with
out kid gloves is as much out of place as he
would be at an aristocratic wedding party
in cowhide boots. Aud it is because they
feel that they cannot vie in elegance with
their neighbors that the poor often stay
away front church." To which the Advance
replies: "True, but where there is one
such church as this, there arc ten which
comfortably shelter themselves against such
a strong indictment, yet keep the poor away
for all that! They leave their kid gloves at
home, perhaps, but their well-to-do indiff
erence toward the poor is as repel Wit as the
dainty aversion of the former. They don't
want to be disturbed in their pews; they
don't want time trouble of making the ac
quaintance of these people; they do not ex
ercise Christian cordiality. They never
think what a comment on their lives is the
life of Christ."
Secs a thr off exchange: Our lady read
ers, interested in the prevailing fashions,
will he glad to know that at a frontier ball,
recently, a noted Indian belle appeared in
a hoop-Akirt, ornamented with lox-tails,
and waist of yellow flannel, slashed with
stripes of buffalo hide.
Danger of Envelopes Marked "To
Be Returned."
"If not called for within ten days to be re
turned to —."
Such is the "legend" on many business
envelopes at present,but they are not adapt
ed to all kinds of business. Dor instance,
if a married man is writing in a clandestine
manner to another woman than his wife, as
he has no business to do, then it is a little
dangerous to use such an envelope, as it
may like curses and chickens "come home
to roost." Such was the ease with a certain
individual in this city not long ago. He had
a wife that was not altogether free from jeal
ousy, and who, on several occasions had
seen and heard enough to fan the jealous
spark in her disposition into a bright and
lively ilame. She received anonymous
warning not long ago to the effect that her
husband was sustaining relations of undue
intimacy with a gay and dashing widow in
a neighboring town, whose name was fur
nished her. She did not delay charging her
lord with inconsistency and a reckless dis
regard of the vows made her in marriage.
He resented the imputation with a virtuous
indignation and a noble scorn that went far
toward convincing her that she had been
maliciously deceived by the anonymous in
former. Weeks passed away, and the wife,
whose heart had been lulled into a feeling
of domestic security, had almost forgotten
the incident that had furnished her so much
uneasiness.
But an accident interposed to verify all
her former suspicions, and transform cor
roding doubts into established and despair
ing facts. During her husband's absence
from home, among other letters brought to
the house was one that was marked "re
, turned." It was directed in her husband's
own hand to at woman, and that woman—
oh! jealousy and rage—the gti'y and dashing
widow. It is almost needless to say that
she hesitated not a moment to lean• ell' the
envelope and read the letter. The content,
established her busba nd's falsehood and in
fidelity beyond doubt. She read it in Iris
own handwriting, which was unmistaka
ble, the most passionate declarations of love
for the woman addressed, followed by ap
peals to her to elope with him, "leaving
that old hen, my wife, (that's the way he
wrote, the brute !) to scratch for herself."
The wife might have forgiven his writing a
love-letter to another woman,on his exhibit
ing due repentance,and promising not to do
it again, but to be stigmatized by him as an
"old hen" was more than she could forgive
or endure, and she has taken the initiary
steps toward a divorce.
The husband, meanwhile, is cursing Iris
own stupidity. He had a lot of envelopes
with the printed words on one end—"lf not
called for within ten days to be returned to
--." Some of them had the blank fill
ed out with his own name, and through
some strange, but entirely justifiable, fatali
ty, he got hold of one of the envelopes and
used it to enfold the passionate missive his
mature pen had traced to his inomorata.
The widow being away from home until the
ten days' grace had expired, the postmaster,
like a prompt business man as he is, return
ed the letter to the writer's address, as peo
ple take pills—"according to directions on
the wrapper," with the above result. It
proved a bitter pill for thelneo.ustaut-Btme
diet to swallow. He has endeavored to
make it up with his wife, and induce her to
withdraw the suit for divorce, but she vows
she will never again live with a man who,
in a letter to a secret flame, calls his wife air
"old hen." So the end is riot yet.—Cinein-

Severe on Her Mother-in-laiw.
Last week a Mrs. Annie Osborn appeared
in Albany in search of a runaway husband,
who according to her story, had eloped with
or been stolen by his own mother. It seems
Mrs. Osborn, Sr., and Mrs. Osborn,"Jr.,
could not dwell together in unity and love
tinder the same vine and fig tree, and that
the former having more influence over the
son and husband than the latter had took
him under her apron strings and ran of
with him. Annie, the deserted wire and
a tfectionate daughter-in-law, thereupon
pablisbes in the Albany Knickerbocker the
the following card to the public, in which
she shows that she is a Al omun of vim and
no mistake: "Information wanted of
Charles William Osborn, who eloped with
nis sweet angel of a mother, who retains
the faculty of disturbing the peace of all
with whom she comes in contact. The lady
and gentleman who are the cause of my
penning these lines lived at 2t7 West Thir
ty-eighth street, New York, and on the 19th
day of May, 1869, the loving couple eloped
to Albany, including a sister, named Lib
bie, a black and tan dog named Fannie, a
cart load of furniture, and all the old but
boxes his mother could collect for years.
The gentleman who has so deeply fhllen in
love with the live stock and dead stock
above mentioned, I deeply regret to say,
happens to be the husband of the much per
scented woman who writes these lines. I
am anxious to Lind him—not that I purpose
ever stooping so low as to live with him;
but as ho is twenty-six years old I have
serious thoughts of assisting his mother to
wean him. His stature is five feet eight
inches, he has brown eyes, brown hair,
mustache and goatee, and is rather good
looking—what I once considered quite the
pink of beaux. Thu augers name is Han
nab Osborn, widow of David Osborn, who
lived near Itensselaerville. Her maid
en name was Lagrange. I wish those gen
tlemen who have the riding of thingsin gen
eral would have the kindness to enact a law
allowing people to hang, choke, or smother
all mothers-in-law who intentionally and
maliciously make disturbance between hus
band and wife. Any information of him
will be thankfully received by his wife,
Annie Osborn, at Police Headquarters,
State street, Albany."
Mormonism.
Life. among the saints is getting to be a
greater curse as the system matures in age.
The most singular part of this system is the
weakness and superstition of people who
have embraced it and who are otherwise ap
parently as intelligent as any people to be
found. It does not seem possible that men
and women, constituted with brain and re
ligious faculties, could be found who would
allow themselves to be governed by the pre
tended revelations of a pretended prophet.
Yet Mormonism shows that nothing is too
absurd to adopt as a belief. Poligatny can
not be called a religion, in the true sense,
any more than any dissipation however
vile; yet the credulity of the victims of this
system is practiced upon through the in
herent desire to be identified with a saving
religious principle.
It cannot be denied that the leaders of
Mormonism are largely made up of the:most
>unprincipled and - designing knaves-who in
habit the earth, whose only purpose is to
exist at the expense of their fellow crea
tures and at the sacrifice of every moral
principle taught by religion. It is in this
particular that is embodied the greatest evil
embraced in Mormonism. Men and we- i
men of the pliant sort are made to subserve
the ambition of the designing knaves'who
lead, until, when too late, they discover that
they have given their bodies over to sin and
mortgaged their souls to Satan.
Misery, untold misery, follows in this
Recent associates with Mormons
and people who have visited the Mormon
religion to look into the system, declare
that nowhere on the face of the earth could
there exist such social misery us prevails in
Mormon families. The women who have
been wives for many years, with their tact:-
lions are usurped to give place to those of a
you uger or wore enticing woman, aro made
frantic with grief, and they pray that their
offspring may die before being submitted
to the misery of Mormon life. This and a
thousand other evils has at last brought the
system into decay, and, thank lleavon !
there is a prospect of its early decline and
ultimate fall. Since comutunicatiod with
the country has been opened, au exodus of
the people has commenced. All tell the
same tale of woe ; all thank the progress of
civilization and improvement for furnish
ing them with the means of emigration,
and assort that as the scales full from the
eyes of the multitude they will all abandon
the prophet with curses for having cursed
them. The back of the monster is broken,
and it is hoped that ere long he will not pol
lute the earth with his presence.
Bralceman's Strike.
The brakemen on the Atlantic mid Great
Western railway, at Meadville, got up a
strike the other day. Their demands are
art increase of wages. The Republican says
the railroad authorities are not disposed to
surrender, and the taco engaged in the
strike will very likely lose their places
permanently. They have not succeeded in
compelling all the brakemen to join them,
although they have appealed and threaten
ed. Many of the mon prefer to take their
chances for an increase of pay by attending
to their ditties faithfully, and in doing so
they have shown betterj ad gment than those
who are attempting to dictate terms to their
employers. During one night the coupling
pins of some three hundred cars at the ear
yard below the city were taken out by the
strikers and thrown into French creek. The
trick was discovered and new pins were
promptly supplied front the railway store.
At noon the sheriff arrived front Sagertown,
having in custody several men who at

before a police justice for a hearing. The
evidence was not of that positive character
deemed necessary to warrant commital,
and the men were discharged. At present
all is quiet, but there is a strong probability
that another demonstration will be made by
the malcontents. The general superinten
dent of the line has issued an order to con
ductors to discharge all brakemen partici
pating in the strike, and forbidding their
employment on the road at any future time.

illaking Bread.
My "Ideal loaf" is made from wheat
perfectly fair, and free from smut or other
disease; not having been wet and mouldy
either before or after harvesting, and not
having been heated before orlefter grinding;
carefully kept clean after being properly
ground so as to need no sifting, and, not
being bolted, it retains every part that be
longs to it, and needs no addition, except
cold water and a little salt.
That superfine white flour bread does not
contain all the elements necessary to keep
the system in order under any ordinary con
dition of life, is uniyersully admitted by all
who have given attention to the subject;
and that there are objections to the usual
manner of making bread,is also well known
by all scientific men; and ilia question has
become an important one, How shall wheat
bread be made a reliable "staff of life," in
stead of the broken reed which it is now ad
mitted to be.
It is estimated that ninety-live per cent.
of bread used in "Boston is made of wheat
flour, out of which has boon taken, by the
process of grinding and bolting, all but
about Jive per cent. of its muscle-making
end life-supporting eletneuLs, so thatfiftoen
barrels are required to furnish us many of
these elements as elm barrel of unbolted
reheat meal. This will be fully comprehend
ed by reference to a grain of split wheat,

of which it is mostly composed, while the

process of grinding and bolting.

twenty-five per cent. of the meal goes off in
the siftings, of which fifteen per cent, is of
nitrates and phosphates.

An old toper, who has kept his copper hot
with whisky or rum for half a century, and
who has outlived all his drinking compan
ions by scores of years, cannot see that he
lives because be is too tough to be killed by
that which has killed all his old toper
friends, but very likely thinks he should
have been dead long ago but for the pre

Tho best time of all, both for clover and

It retains more of the nutriment of
grass than if it is left exposed to dews and
rains for a few days, and goes much further
both for fatten! g stock and producing milk.
DIA when the grass is very heavy and is cut
with a mowing scythe and thrown into
heavy swaths or rows it will not cure thor
oughly until two days, and is not so good
for food as that cured and put away in one
day. Dew and moisture always effect the
fibre of cut grass, and weakens the strength
of hay. They also injure and destroy the su
gary matter contained in the stems, and
render them dry and tasteless. When a
branch of hay can be twisted tight without
showing moisture or juice it is dry enough
to be stowed away. A little salt scattered
over hay which has been caught in showers
will improve it, and render it more palat
able to stock.

Assembly of 22d March, 1862, it is made the
duty of every person and corporation, hold

prevent them from going to seed, and the
seed of the same front ripening, under pen

notice to have the thistle removed within
five days, and on the neglect or refusal by
the owner or lessee so to do, may enter the
premises of the latter and cut them up him
self, for which services he shall be entitled
to recover from the delinquent, as compen
