hi A citizen or fatstte row.3inr.
Siztj'yccrs ego the greater part of the
territory of Juniata county, east of the
Juuia'a river, for twenty milee or more
from MifHin, was what the Scots in an
cient times termed a Caledonia meaning
a wooded country though tha lands
wcte taken op and settlements' and con
siderable improvements made i;i nearly
every tract. " These land tracts were
large, and usually consisted cf three to
four hundred acres.
The fiift improvement was a log cahin,
which was usually built of round logs.
Tuey could not wait to dub and hew, as
neighbors wero fax between, and few at
that. Small trees were takc-u. Heavy
round saplings were used for joists and
ligLt saplings for rafters, split saplings
fot lath aiid clapboards for shingles The
clapboards were made by cross cutting
the butt-end of a large tree three to eight
feet Icng, cud then split out liko' cooper
wood A layer was put on the eaves of
the honse, and then another layer, cover
in about half of the length. No nails
were used, for the reason that 'there were
none to use', but instead of hails a heavy
sapling was laid on the second layer and
pinned down to the rafter. Thus layer
after layer of the clapboards were put on
and fastened down nutil the roof was
finiebed. The next desirable thing wis
a chimney. Some cabins had tbeir chim
neys inside, sortie outside. This smoke
stack waa usaally six to eight feet wide,
built of stone three or fttur feet high, and
thence built above the cabin with sticks
of wood and thickly plastered with clay
mortar in the inside, to secure it against
fire. ; A sapling long enough to reach
across the chimney was nsed as cuuk
eticki" to hang the kettles and pots on.
Boards that had neither been planed or
grooved were laid down on ronghly
hewed sleepers for a floor. The loft
floor was laid hi the same manner, and a
wooden ladder was sot np in one corner
as the means to reach it. Rough boards
were nsed for making doors. Slats were
fastened across them with wooden pins.
The hinges, the latch and the bolt were
all of wood. ' ' Thus the people lived in
wooden houses, in a wooden country, aud
warmed themselves in winter by- fine
large wood-fires and were happy. Tbeir
habits were rough, their food coarse,
their apparel domestic, their friendship
genuine. Their work was hard, but they
had willing minds. They cut trees,
made rails, burned brush, made fence
built barns, with threshing space in the
middle and thatched the whole with
straw. Tbese buildings were low. I
remember a case that the old folks talked
about. Jimmy said to his boys
when hauling in their little crop of grain,
"Boys, do crowd them 'era sheaves, and
try to get onr crop all under roof.!' Tbe
father waa pitching off the. load, the boys
mowing and shoving sheaves under until
tbey pushed the roof off, and it leaned
so hard on the boys that they had to cut
the thatch and come out above
In those days hard work ..was plenty.
Children were brought np to it ; they
had nothing to do but work. , , There
were no newspapers then, to tell of home
affairs, and tbe affairs of the outside
world. There was only a tram here and
there that could read. Books were scarce,
and people could not .have read them if
tbey bad had them. . ' -
. The nearest store was at Carlisle, forty
miles distant. I often heard an old man
say that when he was a boy he wanted a
ball covered; so one day be slipped
away his mother's needle and went on
the hay-mow to sew the cover on.
TSB Laws.
FEBRUARY 5. 1373.
Wbile dpicg so the needle dropped from !
his fingers into the hay. , He pulled the
bay about him into, a bunch and then
lifted it carefully 'and carried- it to the
barn floor, and there separated it straw
by straw, and really found the needle, he
said that then he felt as if he could again
face his mother. It was the only needle
his mother owned, and there was none to
be had nearer than Carli?la. . The same
old man told me that ' Hamilton's mill at
Mexico wits tha nearest mill, and it was
eight miles away. A sort of a bridle
path was made from the settlers to the
mill by cutting away the sapplings so as
to admit of the passage of a pack horse.
One neighbor in taking a grist home,
would have been killed by wolves had it
not been for two stout dog) that kept
them off. '' His horse-waa fractious, and
he had a dreadful time before he got
borne with hia grist.

. The Virtue of Ventriloquism.
' NICK NU8PHY AND THE OUOST. 1
An incident occurred in the hotel of
one of the picturesque marine villages
wbich skirt lako Pontchartrain, ou a cer
tain occasion last summer that effectually
served to dispel the listless ennui too
prevalent iu such places. Among the
gnests there, for the time being, was
Michael Murphy, au eccentric, good na
tured soul, what used to be par excel
lence iu the land of potatoes, but which
now may be called potatolees land. lie
bad boon on a big bust in tlio city, and
weut over the lake to dispel tbe fames of
debauch, and take salt baths and soda
water at tbe same tima -
All this had become known to the
ventriloquist who had paid a flying visit
to the place, and who had such command
over his voice that he could make it do
anything, from the spueaking of a pig
under the gate to the singing of a mock
ing bird. "Believing that Michael was
just about that time in an impressible
state in a reformatory mood he thought
he woulJ, through the medium of his art
endeavor to effect a favorable change in
his morals. With this view ' he booked
bis name for a bed in the earns room with
Michael,' and ' about twelve o'clock at
uight that hour to superstitions minds
so fraught with terror he pitched bis
voice outside the door, saying ia r trom
bone tone : ' ' "'
"Michael Jfarpby ! Michael Murphy !
are yon asleep 7'' ' '
"Who's that? ' said Michael, much
startled at tbe sepulchral 'tone in which
the query Was put,' and at the time of
putting it. ' "
"Ask me not, but answer," said the
ventriloquist, still continuing- his ghost
like accent. ,
Well, what have yon got to say V
said Michael.
'Much of which I want you to take
uoiice," said the ventriloquist, or rather
the ventriloquist's voice. '
"Ob, clear off,' said Michael, or else
ni give you your tay."
. Better had you contiucd to take tea
than to break the pledge, as you . have
done," said the voice outside the door.
"What's all this noise about V said
the ventriloqucat, speaking froni the bed
"Some dirty blackguard that's outside
tlin do.ir there," said Michael, "iutet'fer
in' with what's none of his business."
"Why don't you drive him from it J"
raid tbe ventriloquist from the bed. ,
"I wish he dare," said tbe voice out
side the door.
"Be jabers. I'll let yon see I dare,"
said Michael, jumping np, seizing his
hickory, and hurriedly opening the door,
ready on sight to knock down the annoy
er.
"Give it to him," said the ventrilo
quist from the bed.
'Be gor, I believe it's- the Old Boy
himself, was it,' said Michael, for I don't
see a soul here."
"Its very mysterious," said the ven
triloquist from the bed.' ' '
"I wonder," said Michael, "if there's
any evil spirits in this country ?"
"I don't know," said the ventriloquist
"but they say the ghosts of departed In
dians hauut the place." ' " ' 1 ' ' '
"Ob," that was no Indian's ghost,"
said Michael, "for it spoke as good En
glish as I do myself."
"And a little better, Michael,' said the
voice, as if proceeding from one standing
by hia side. i '"" ' - 1 C '
"Oh, the cross o' Christ about us,'
said Michael. ''What are you, at all at
all t" ' '
"Xo evil spirit, bat your guardian
genius," said the voice. "
"A mortal queer janiona you are,' said
Michael, "that can be heard and "not
seen."
Get into bed, then," said the voice,
"I have something to say to you."
"You won't do any thing bad to me,"
said Michael. : -
"Nothing," said the voice. :
"Honor brigh I" said Michael. .
"Honor brigh," said the voice, "You
know you have been a bard liver."
'That's a fact," said Michael.
"You- broke - the pledge,' said the
voice. '

More than I could ever keep a
tally
of," c'aid Michael '...
"Then you'll pledge yourself to me,
that you will change your mode of life V
said tbe voice. , .
I'll do anything you ask me," said
Michael. . ; j
"Then I'm off," said the voice, "but !
remember, if you attempt to break it I'll j
be present and punish you through life." j
'Who is that with whom you are hoid
ing conversation ?"' said the ventriloquist '
speaking agaiu from the bed. j
"Devil a one at ail," said Michael,
'bariin' some mighty polite, ttivi.-s'iblo !
gentleman, that seems to take a great in- j
tcre9t in my welfare." i
"Oh, you are dreaming," said the
ventriloquist continuing to spsak in pro
pria pcrcoox.
'Faix, it's like a dream, sure enough.'
said Michael
The next morning a friend asked M i
chacl to tike his bitters. He consented,
but just as he took the gla?s in bis hand,
the voice of the ventriloquist, who was
present, was beard above his head, in the
air, crying out :
''Touch it not, Michael Murphy re
member your promise." It was enough,
Michael would not taste.
"The pleasure of the wiue wiih you,
Mr. Murphy," said n gentleman at the
tabb. ..........
With pleasure, sir,1, said Michael but
just at that moment a voice wa heard to
issae from the corner cf the room it was
ih it of the ventriloq uist w ho eat by Lis
side, uttering bis admonition.
1 bus the thitig went on for a we k till
Michael was then and forever made a
teetotaler. He tww industriously minds
bis "business:, enjoys good healih and
prospers. In relalioa to the circumstan
ces under which ha became a teetotalar,
he says h never had the pleasure of see
ing his beet frieud.

At a meeting of Cocolamus Lodg,
No. 2IC. I O. of G. T , JW ii, 1373,
Bayard Nields, aud D. W. Wkkersham
were appointed to p.enre a column
weekly in the Jiwtata Sentinel, to be
devwl to tbe TemperaDce eauee; also
to furnish matter for publication in said
column from week to week. -
Believing the liquor traffic to be tug
greatest curse of our nation, and the
cause of almost all the crime, pauperism
and isisery in our land, we are willing to
cast iu our mite, and do all - in our
powir toward accomplishing iu over
thiow,' hopfng rur temperance friends
w ill givu im their assistance by contribu
ting short but pointed articles on the sub
ject of IVuhibition. -
I.V the great politxal contest which
has lately agitated onr country, and di-
verted from its proper channels, the mtr
al capital of the uatiou, thtj temperance
enterisise has almost ba$nlaid on -the
shelf. Now is the time to renew our ex
ertio-.is. ' If U13 struggles of tha rival
parties have fc.-cn inspired by love of
country the same hjfty motlva will lead
them now to labor iu another fii.ll.
The occasion calls loudly for the ex
ercise of patriotism true patriotism not
that blind, illiberal rpirit which denies
hone;ty of purpose, or love of country to
all who differ from us in opinion, and ar
rogates to it.-e'f a monopoly of those
good qualities, but that fueling and that
principle which excite us to labor for
our country's good, in the various de
partments of intellectual and taoral and
religions enterprise. Let those who have
lately devoted so much energy to politi
cal purposes, prove that they love their
country and their countrymen, by doing
what their hands shall find to do, in or
der to advance individual and national
happiness. Let them enter the field of
moral reform, and prove that their vaun
ted patriotism is not the mere spirit of
party. Whatever our politicians have
done or failed to do, one thing ia clear,
that vice stalks through the land, crush
ing beneath his heavy ttead the hopes of
our republic. And unless the talents
and tbe energy of patriots are summoned
to the conflict, our free institutions will
crumble to the dust.
The fairest political fabric constructed
has no permanaucy but in tha virtue of
the people. Virtue is the foundation
If this be sapped, tbe superstructure
must fall. Let every man then, be at
his post. Temperance is the foster moth-"
er of all the virtues, as intemperance is a
parent of all vive. An tffecient means
of promoting the former, and enppressiug
the latter, cxpercuco points to associated
action nuder the organization of temper
ance societies. . This has provel iU'lf a
potent means. '. There can be no dispute
no evasion. A tree is known by its
fruits. And the fruits of the tempcranco
effort stand forth so conpicuou3ly that
none can avoid seeing them. There is
no room for argument none for doubt.
Tbe whole world has seen tbese fruits
and bears witness cf them Bni the
temperance tree must be cultivated that
it may continue to bndr good frait. The
soil abont its roots require constant till
age ; and it must be watered. The
branches of the tree may require prun
ing. There is woik for a'l who are will
ing to work. Come on, then, we say to
our fellow-citizens and our fellow coun
trymen come on. and join ns in our la
bors, and lighten our toil. Come aud
assist us in tc gifat work of removing
tbe cause of iutr tnporance from onr conn
try and from tbe world. Intemperauce
is unfriendly to mental improvement and
to moral culture'; it is a vice which
strikes at the foundation of all our civil,
political, and religintM i.istitut ion. Ag
riculture, commerce, the arts aud scien
ces have all suffered uuiier its baurful an I
withering influence. Ignorance Las pre
vailed, pauperism has existed, cricic has
been multiplied, and the public La-dens'
have increased Oiider the tyrannical reign
of king Alcohol. Will you stand idly
by and sec these things g on ? Now is
the time for action, .be uti aad adoing,

Two hundred and fifty miilion dollars

United StateV, ;.n 1 no: S200.000 to pro
mote te cause of temperance. Million
for a hurtful aud siuul iuduhpuce aud
barely thousand to save the soula and
bodies of the victims of the rum traffic.
Tha larger sum harts many ; the smaller
though inadequate for tb- woik, hario-i
no one and saves some. The one appeals
to appetite, tho other to reason and duty.
Tbe relative suma expended, etf.it hy
Cltridiuns, show which appeal ia the
stronger. Is it not a sad commentary
upon the character of a Christian people
thitt they spend more for a useless, hurt
ful sinful indulgence than for both tem
perance and Christianity combined.
