lead is absorbed and its poisonous
eirects will surely manifest thomsekes
in various forms or lead poisoning.
The sufferer from theso poisons
has no warning from this insidious
enemy in and through tho veins until
its futal fangs are ao deeply buried
into tho avstom, that its dreadlul
effects aro liardly ever discovered un
til the victim is placed beyond euro,
and many doubtless go to tlioir graves
without their physicians ever dream
ing of the cbiiho of tho disease. It
produces pnrulysisoftlie musckMtof the
face nnd limbs, as well as neuralgia. 1
Persona will complain of sudden puin
in the bead, ear, eyes or muscles of
the face and shoulders, chest and back;
very often numbncKi of the limbs,
bands or feet, amounting in some
cases to actual loss of motion j all
caused by this deadly poifon found
in the Ambrosias, commonly called
Hair liestorattves.
It is hih time that tho warning
voice of tbe press should bo heurd and
hooded, bv tho multitude of dupes who
aro daily victimised by these rascally
and murderous cosmetics and head
washes. So mnny of these worthless
compositions aro now thrown upon
the community, all professing to be
perfectly innocent in their composi
tion and purrly vrrettiblc, that peoplo
are induced to uso'lhcm without ever
inquiring into their ingredients, or
giving even a passing thought of tho
dreadful consequences suro to result
from their use.
If any ono doubts what wo say and
is curious to discover tho presence of
tho poison we speak of, let them go
to any drug store and procure a solu
tion of sulphurated hydrogen and mix
it with any of the Hair Vigor or
Invigom, when a black color will
iin mediately result, and a precipitate
bo thrown down on the bottom of the
vessel. Glauber salts or sulphide of
ammonium will produco mo same
results.
Any one valuing their health should
not fail to applv these simple tests to
any heud or scalp washer, which either
curiosity or faith in the mixtures may
induce them to use to promoto mo
growth of the hair.-
The press daily records some cases
of lead poisoning by absorption into
tho svslom through the pores of the
skin by the use of the many sdvorlised
Hair llressinijs, and ono would think
tbat theso warnings would suffice to
loHseu the uso of such articles, cspeci-
lly among intelligent and thinking
pcnplo who valuo tbeir health and are
not entirely given over to the vulgar
codo of faliion. We beg to warn all
who are using these washes, that they
aro gradually but surely bringing
destruction and death upon themsoivos
or at least a condition of intolerable
Buffering from which death only is
a merciful but certain relief. 'And
again, we nrgo those using these Hair
washca to first ascertain if Wiry con
tain any lead poison, and when dis
covered, to at once abandon their use.
W have taken pains to obtain a
correct analysis of two of tho most
populnror these Jlnir J(enewcr(e, as
found in Ihe country, namely : Hall's
Slci II inn Hair JCci.cwcr and King's

readers may know what they givo

PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.
THE CORRUPT AGE.
With tho present stringency of the
money market wo hear complaint of
dullness in trade and consequent ina
bility of those engnged in mercantile
pursuits as woll as in met'ianicul avo
cnlions to muko ends meet, and to
fulfill obligations entered into a short
timo sinco when times wero better,
and which nro now maturing. Honest
men scum to find themselves going
rapidly into the background, whilo the
brazen fnces of roguery and down
right rascality wour radiant smiles,
and their owners "lure sumptuously
every duy."
ihe doctnno of future rewards and
punishments is only a t'ablo of the
pust, scarcely remembered by tbo old
est iiibabiluut at least it would seem
so by tho lives of thousands in our
city, who ignoro it and livo for them
selves. In short, s season of demoralization,
general in its thuracter, appears to
have become inaugurated, affecting
aliko tho l'ulpit, tho I'resa and tho
liar.
Ministers of thoCoRpcl, Editors and
Authors, Judges and Lawyers, aban
don their high and honorable callings
to assist in the carnival of crime and
rascality. Where tho greatest confi
dence should bo reposed is found the
secret and dangoroas cnomv that bo
trays us; where vo should look for
moral instruction wo find the gildud
brand of infamy held np for our admi
ration, as the slump ol virtue
Authors eoll tho falsehoods of
their feverish imaginations to
irain
wealth, whilo publisher can be found
base enough to demoralize a wholo
community for a share iu the venture,
1 ho t ress cries 'l orriintion with i
a loud voice w hile its editors enrich
themselves by praising and endorsing
the scheming scoundrels who niako a
trado of publio robbery. Jobs of gi-
untie proportions aro juggled through
lOglolulive lloilies to bo "tjiio warran
to'd" and hlacktnniled by tho Altor
nics and tho outside associates of our
honorable Judiciary, alter which pro
cesses they are lcgitimitto burdens for
the public to groan under.
Kings und political combinations
made up of tho worst class of society
rule all of our interests, and Integrity
and Industry hang their heads in sor
row if not in despair.
We are not of that over-sensitive
nature, which la easily appalled by
tho tares among the wheat in human
life, for wo know that tho world is full
of beauty, and much for us to lovo
and admire.
But wo oonfesa to a feeling of indig
nation at tho broad away crime is
having, and to a blush of shamo that
m.nliood on beooina ao dubaeoil, oo
false to its truest interests in tlio well
being of society, and we huvo been
led to reflect upon the Cannes wbieh
have produced these sad results.
We fiad two prominent evils which
attract our attention the most. First,
the thirst for notoriety and Self-ag-grandisemcnl
among tho Instructors
of the people, and secondly, the fond
ness for exlrnvaganco and foolish dis
play among nearly all clusxcs of thu
couitnonity. To theso two sources
wo think can be clearly traced nearly
all of the evils of our day.
In oldon times Ministers of the os
pol led thoir flocks through virtuous
and holy paths; the meekness and
humility of a Buffering Savior were
tho doctrines taught to proud human
ity and "to sell all that ono had and
give to the poor" was the only road
to follow Jesus.
In tho House of Worship lie was
the centre of thought and udoration
not tbo marble palace with stained
windows, nor the volvcted pew nor
even the political or tho sensational
orator, if any there wore who oflieia
ted as ministers in thoso clays. Men
attended church with their families to
listen to the reading of Ihe scriptures
and tho holy advice explained to them
by their pastors. Truth and wisdom
wero deemed superior to political ha
rangues.and good sense and sonnd logic
were moro esteemed than rhetorical
flourishes and attempts at blasphe
mous witticisms. Men were taught
to livo rationally, and happily Vice
did not beoomo Virtue whon indulg
ed in by church members, nor did pas
tors consider it their duly to gloss
over tbo sins of thoir congregation in
order to assist tho causo of Chris
tianity. In thoso days authors and public
writers won golden l-cpntaliohs by
elucidating facts and truths, by wri
ting works of instruction and beauti
ful poctc and prose effusions for the
edification and enlifrhlenniont. of the
masses many of which works will
live forever.
Theirs was not the task to demoral
ise society, to create a demand for ob
sceno 1 1 tors tore or slanderous reading
which should mako angels weep
theirs not the banelul trash t hut de
stroys tho youthful mind nnd praises
guilt in tho first chapter of a periodi
cal, that tho second may have a slill
larger salo that robs tho dead to en
rich the living.
Youthful minds fed wilh , moral
truths beeamo the giant intellects en
cased in robust bodies, protected by
cood habits, whic h led our country
on to greatness and bonorablo esteem
among ull tho nations of tho civilized
world,
Justlco sat on hor bench and meted
out right to all whoeanio, irrespective
of party or monied power.
But in an evil hour tamo the dread
scourgo of internecine War, brother

and good will toward men" gave way
to the fiorce baltlo tiry of "l'lood"imd

TEE BENEF1T0F READING.
As a resource a change from tho
ordinary cures and toils of life read
ing is a sedative that composes the
mind and rislores its calm and regu
lar tnof cti.onts. Liko a tcmpcraio
and whohf-ome drink, it al once
refreshes ijid nourishes, and may be
safely tslf-n in largo and freipicnt
draughts. 'Most men need something
like a bftlnKO wheel to cqualizo the
operation 'f their mental und moral
powers, si'd to prevent tho imagina
tioa and lnty from domineering over
the reason and judgment, to break the
sudden slocks of passion and interest,
and to csry the mind past seasons of
wcarinc-a-, depression, disappointment,
or affliction. A man without any
such cotservativo provisions in his
naluro i tho fool of chance ant of
every vlnd that blows. His mind,
ill reguUtcd from tbo start, becomes
rapidly more and moro disordered by
the wp.ir and excitement of cneli suc

and unsatisfactory, uniil his increasing

tho very servants who w ilness it, with
Isss of compassion than contempt.

Against this what better and more
perl'rot safeguard for the mnn of busi
ness than tho habit of reading?
llius fur we seem to have spoken
of rending ns a paslitn, O change, a
sort of soothing and healing medicine
lor the mind, flu l it is more than
this; it is food to he taken, not excep
tionally, liko medicine, but daily and
regularly Uirongh lilo. INor (loess per
son's relish for this food that is, his
love of reading depend wholly upon
an originul lasto for it, caused by some
peculiarity in bis mental constitution ;
fur sucn a tusto is sometimes lost hy
neglect where it once existed ; while,
on the other hand, it has been acquired
almost involuntarily.
That reading expands and strength
ens the mind by the gradual absorption
of ideas, is a fust too well understood
to need any illustration hero. But it
also gives a distaste for small things,
as the pretty gossip, mean jeulousies,
and foolish disputes and squabbles
that disturb and belittle theso minds
that are occupied with them for tho
want of something of more con
sequence. - The rending mnn should not. and
gcnernlly does not, read from motives
of vanity, in or dor that his knowledge
may impress others with a sense of
his superiority. Ho will wisely be
content to koep his gains to himself.
We bold that no one is obliged to
mako any philanthropic display of his
treasure, whore, most probably, be
would not bo understood, or only be
sneered at for his pains. Thero arc
scholars and writers enough by pro
fession ready to enlighten tho world
quite as last as the world is willing to
be enlightened. It is only for the
interior and vixihlo benefit to the mind
and happiness of tho individual that
we aro now advocating tho advantage
of a habit of reading, and not lhat it
will even help him to practical suc
cess in lifo. Does any one doubt that
ilia dewultory reading of books will
hinder imiteriul success? We suspect
that there aro more reading men than
wo kpow of men, loo, havo suc
ceeded enviably in life, but who read
for their own private satisfaction.
Judicious, thoughtful reading makes a
man not only superior - to his own
cluss, whatever that class may be, but
also superior to many, and the equal
of others in claescs above his own;
and, in short, will go very far towards
making the commonest man a gen
tleman. Every mnn who has education
enough to read a newspaper or the
Bible, may secure for himself nil the
pleasure and advantage to be derived
Irom books. If be begins by reading
but a little, ho will bo interested and
entertained ; if he continues the prac
tice, he will Iwcotno an intelligent or
woll-iitlormcd man ; and if he chance
to prrsovere through ascriesof years,
he will become almost a learned mnn,
or, what is bolter than a learned man,
a wiso man, a true philosopher, and
ono who is able to discern the mutual
relations of things, and judge of their
comparative values. Such a reading
man is moro fortunate than a scholar,
for two reasons: first, ho is in the
world, while the scholar is secluded
from it; secondly, he is free to think
and interest himself about many dif
ferent things, whilo the scholar, to bo
complete master of his special subject,
must confine his time and thoughts
almost exclusively to that subject.

not from inclination, would seem to

Ihnt "use dolh breed a habit in a man."
So that if persons will compel them
selves regularly to do somo one thing,
such is tbo force of habit, that an In
clination or expected repetition is
soon set up in tho mind, in just the
satno that our artificial physical habits
aro eequircd. In trying to acquire an
appetito for reading, it is better at
first even to linger a long time over
one book or a part of a book, until
every word and vhado of thought is
made familiar, than mpii'ly to turn
over pago after pago, ot which no dis
tinct ideas are impressed on the mind.

Tho startling speech of M r. Dnwos,
to which we referred two weeks ago,

tho circumstances of the gentleman
from Wisconsin having recently got
through an appropriation of ?l'li0,0(ifl
for the I Ms Moines Itnpids, not esti
mated for by any of llioso "unworthy
Departments." It had forced itself
upon his conviction almost, that which
had been repeatedly told him, that
"tho gentleman from Massachusetts
had a little balance to settle with the
Republican members of l'ennsyl
vania." Mr. Dawes Will tho gentleman be
kind enough to stato cxplicily just
what ho means by tho lasi remark ?
Mr. Schofield The gentleman him
self knows, I suppose, because (in a
jesting way) I have told him what had
been suggested; bul if he insists on
my staling it hero, I will say that it
has been hinted to mo that'lTicgentlo
man Irom Massachusetts was not alto
gether satisfied bocanso tho Republi
can members from Pennsylvania, in
tho organization of tho Houso had
preferred a gentleman whom they
thougl.t could sometimes find modes
of signalizing bis friendship other
than by the infliction of wounds.
Mr. Dawes Does the gentleman
mean to impulo uny snch motivo as
thnt to mo in what I have dune here
on this floor? I ask the gentleman
to answer me frankly and fairly bore
on record, docs ho intend to impute
to me any such motivo in anything I
have done here ?
Mr. Sehofleld If the gentleman
will not be so very sensitive, and will
bo quiet fir a ftw minutes, ho will see
just how much I am iippnting'to him.
Mr. Jlawcs Ihe gentleman will
do mo tho favor by answering my
questions.
Mr. Schofield When the gentle
man was making that extraordinary
speech about everything but the bill,
1 begged, and so did my colleagues,
for a word of explanation, nnd il wss
declined. I will answer tho gentle
man's question in my own way, and I
wish now that he would lot mo have
tho floor.
Mr. Dawes If tho gentleman will
do mo the favor to cease bis in undoes
and to nr.swcr cxplicilely my inter

this place, ns a member of ihe House,
impute to me snch motive, ho will do
me a favor and will do me justice.
Mr. Schofield If tho gentleman
from Massachusetts will be Ices ner
vous, and will listen to w hat I have
10 say, ho wilt understand exactly my
meaning. When I saw all this prep
aration, and when I saw that tbo gen
tleman roamed over tho w hole Gov
ernment to find something obnoxious,
and lhat when bo had at last awakened
the indignation of tbe Houso against
everything that could to criticised in
all the Departments ; nnd when I saw
him gather up his hostility and hurl

one, the convention 1 say, was almost
forced upon my mind that pel haps the
insinuation might have some founda
tion, nnd Ihnt is nil 1 was saying.
Mr. Schofield then proceeded to
review these portions of Mr. Dawes's
speech criticising the economical no
tions of the Secretary of the Nary
and of tho Postmaster General. He
would not pause to criticise the irrev
