And kept the spring rain from it, kept it, too,
From the bird's mouth; and In that silent cell

And saw the tender, piteous look it wore ;
Perhaps one like it, somea-here far away,
Grew in a gardenhed, or by the door
That ho in childish days had played around,
For his knees, trembling, tank upon the gionnd
Then, o'er this piece of Ide&ling earth, the , ers
Of penitence were rung, until at last

COL. EPHRAIM BLAINE.
Interesting Reminiseenses
In the third volume of the New Ameri
can cyclopedia, recently issued from the press
of the Messrs. Appleton, we find the follow•
ing brief sketch of an eminent Pennsylvani
an of the revolutionary era
"BLAINE EPHRAIM, an officer in the rovo.
lationary war, belonging to the Pennsylvania
line, died at Carlisle, Pa„ 1808. He entered the
artoy as a Colonel, at the commencement of the
:Jar and was subsequently made Commissiary
General. His services were gallant and patri
otic. He was'rrith Washington, in many of the
most trying beems of the revolution, and enjoy
Ed the confidence of his to the fullest ex
tent. During the d-trk_winter 'at Valley:Forge,
the preservation of the American army from
starvation were in a groat degree owing to the
exertions and sacrifices of Col. Blaine."
It would he impossible to do justice within
a single paragraph, to the memory and ser
vices of so gallant a soldier, so valuable an
officer and worthy a man, as Col. Ephraim
Blaine. Living on his princely estate of
" Middlesex," in the county of Cumberland,
at the time of the revolution was inaugura
ted, he at once offered his personal services
and his large means, to the patriot cause.—
Ile was forthwith commissioned by the con.
tinental Congress as a Colonel, was attached
to the Pennsylvania line of troops, and did
not " ground arms " until the contest was over
and . the victory won. It happened from the
outset of his service, he was thrown mach in
contact with General Washington, and the re
tult was a - warm friendship between the two,
which manifested itself in a cordial corres
pondence through a period of more than fif
teen years—many of Washington's letters bo•
ing still in the possession of Col. Blaine's de
scendants.
Owing to his own marked and meritorious
services, both in " carap and field," and aided
perhaps by the personal friendship of Wash
ington, Col. Blaine was appointed to the very
important post of Commissary General of the
Northern Department," in the year 1778, about
the time that the distinguished Gen. Wads
worth was appointed to a similar rank in the
Southern department. In this large and
most reponsible sphere of duty, Col. Blaine,
won imperishable laurels. The district over
which he was made " General of Commissar
iat " extended from the Maryland line north
ward, including Pennsylvania, NeaVersey,
New - Voila and New England, and it was to
hie great energy, and often times the means
which he had the individual and personal in
fluence to command, that the " Patriot army"
was kept from actual want and starvation.—
The large operations for army " supplies"
which Col. Blaine negotiated may be inferred
from the fact that at one time, (Jan. 1780) the
Supreme Executive Council of Peliseylva
nia,drew a single warrant in favor o one
milliou of dollars to reimburse him foFad
vances which his own exertions and his own
means had provided : and at another time a
warrant for sccen hundred and fifty thousand
was credited to him by the same authority
in paymeut of similar. negotiations. During
the "dark winter " at Valley Forge, the most
critical and trying period perhaps in the
whole seven years struggle, the Americarisr
my was left, at one time, almost entirely de
pendent on Col. Blaine's efforts, and the faith
ful and heroic manner in which he discharged
his duties at that period was always spoken
of in terms of the highest praise by Wash
ington.
Colonelß'aine was with Washington in sev
eral of the most critical epochs in the long
straggle for our liberties, and was among the
most ''tried, true and trusted," to the last.
At the close of the Revolution he retired to
his estates at Middlesex," which bad become
greatly impaired by his long absence, though
they were still magnificent in their extent and
resources. Here he resided for more than a
quarter of a century after the war, in true
manorial dignity and hospitality, entertain"
ing his numerous visiters in a style of liberal
ity suited to his social rank and public posi-
tion and admirably illustrating the character
of the Pennsylvania gentleman of the " olden
time." It was at his house that President
Washington and suite were entertained when
they journeyed to the interior of the State on
that eventful expedition. called out by the
Whisky Insurrection of the Western coun
ties in 179-1. During Washington's Presiden
cy, Colonel Blaine spent many of his winters
in Philadelphia, forming one member of that
" Republican Court" which surrounded and
gave eclat and dignity to the social rule of our
first and great chief magistrate. Colonel
Blaine's son, James Blaine, went abroad in
1791 as an-attache to one of the American em
bassies, and was made a few years after, the
bearer to this country of the celebrated "Jay's
Treaty," which was the cause of such an
angry congressional controversy immediately
after its reception, and which resulted in the
permanent enstrangement from Washington
ef some who had been previously reckoned as
among his devoted political friends. James
Biaine, at the time of his return from Europe
was considered to be among the most accom•
plished and finest looking gentleman in Phila.
delphia—then the centre of fashion, elegance,
and learning on this continent. His reputas
tion as a model gentleman was honorably sue
mined throughout life, He died a few years
since in Washington county, Pennsylvania,
whither he removed after the death of his
father. It may be - mentioned here that Col
onel Blaine was one of the original members
of the Pennsylvania Society of the " Cincin
nati."
The domestic and family history of Col.
Blaine were quite as remarkable and inter'
eating as his public career was honorable and
patriotic. Shortly after the war was over he
lost his first wife, who was a Miss Galbraith,
of a well known Scotch family. He passed
some years as a widower, and his second mar
riage was somewhat singular and romantic,
to say the least. In the town of Carlisle,
near which his estate of " Middlesex" lay,
one Judge Duncan was among the most prom
inent citizens—a man of social rank and high
spirit, and some-years the junior of Col.
Blaine. A pereonal difficulty happened be
tween Judge Duncan and a lawyer of the
Cuinberland county bar, named Lamberton,
and the result was that a challenge passed
and was accepted. The second of Judge
Duncan was James Blaine, the son of Col.
Blaine, already alluded to. The issue of the
duel was the instant death of Judge Duncan,
shot with a rifle ball directly in the fore
head.
And now for the singular sequel. A
fewjeers elapsed and Col. Blaine married
Judeg Duncan's widow—the widow of the
man for whom his son had acted second in the
duel which proved fatal to him. This lady
survived Col. Blaine a long number of years,
and after his death resided in Philadelphia.—
Her residence was one of the elegant man
sions on Walnut street, west of Twelfth, and
f=ri she lived in aistyle of true elegance and
distinction until she attained the ripe
o ' c of ninety. She died as lately as 1850,
[l,l is buried in a family lot at Laurel
The descendants and collateral connections
of Col. Blaine in Pennsylvania, and in many
other parts of the Union, aro quite numerous;
In this State, the family is intimately inter
woven with the Lyons, the Russells, the Ew
ings, the Alexanders, the Andersons, the
Reeds, the Walkers, the Gillespies, and nu
merous ether branches of the old - Pennsylva
• nia'stock, The son of Col. Blaine's second
wife, Dr. Stephen Duncan, of Natchez, Miss„
is widely known as one of the wealthiest
_ plabters of the South, his estate being reek•
oned:by.;millions, while ho was otherwise
known as the most high-minded, philanthropic
and, Ohnitian of men. Robert J. Walker,
late Governorof Kani3as,and so distinguished
as a Democratic statesman, belongs to the
same stook, being a nephew,. we believe, of
Col. Blame's wife. Hon. Samuel Auesell,lat e
Representative in Congress from the Bedford
district, in this State, and Hon, A. I'R-tie.,
sell, late Secretary of State, are grandkneph
ewe of Col. Blaine. Hon. John H. Ewing,
former Representative in Congress frOm the
Washington district, married agrand daught
er of Col. Blaine ; and Robert C. Walker,
: Esq. ' well known in our State, and now coo,
nected with the Agricultural bureau, at Wash
ington, is connected by a similar tie. A
branch of the family is to be found in South
Carolina, intermarried with the Wheatons, of
that State; another branch is settled in New
Jersey; another in Missouri; another in
lowa ; and still another . in Arkansas; while
one lineal descendant, a grand-son of Ca.
Blaine, has wandered off northward to New
England. We allude to James G. Blaine, Esq.,
formerly a resident of this city, and d suc
cessful contributor to the Whig press, but
who now resides in Maine,and edits one of the
leading Republican papers of that State.—
The male members of the blood, leaving the
family name, are scarce. At one time, since
the death of Col. Blaine, be had five name
sakes among his relatives, but not one of
them now survives. The name itself, there , .
fore, belongs to comparatively few, while the
blood flows in the veins of a very large num
ber.
It is interesting thus to trace out the ties of
consanguinity, which bind the present gener
ation to tho worthy and good men of the past.
We have no sympathy with that miserable
and sickly feeling which induces a man to
live on the reputation of his ancestry, and we
have Just as little with that affected contempt
for a " goodly family stock" which certain
persons are in the habit of parading. The
true feeling and true ambition should be to
cherish a worthy pride in one's honorable an
cestry by emulating their worthy deeds. We
h3lieve, at all events, in keeping the patriotic
deeds of our Revolutionary heroes fresh in
the remembaance of posterity, and we have
therefore thought that nothing would prove
more acceptable to Pennsylvania readers than
this brief sketch of Colonel Ephraim Blaine,
of Middlesex.

City Ta.rea.—We are informed that the taxes due
the city aro coming into the treasury very slowly at
the present time. It seems as though the tax payers
of this city required some sort of compulsion to
make theta pay their taxes, for under the voluntary
system they move but slowly. The amount of de
duction grows less by one per cent. every mouth.
Perhaps when the Ist of December arrives, and five
per cent. comes to be added to the amount, the tax
payers will conclude that it is best to pay their dues.
The,lar, under the now system, the payments have
boon less prompt than was expected.

45 to 47, 144, and 171 to 179, and 188 to 192. It is
evident that you have brought to the study of Book
keeping a clear head, whioh of course has lost none
of that clearness by Lag cultivation of an accurate
science. It is impossible for any one to make the
subject of aocounts more easy of comprehension to
the young beginner; and what is often still more
difficult to do, you have made it so the old learner."

AS AN EFFICIENT, safe and convenient
tunic, canard° and anadyspepilo medicine, these
Pills are I,,emmended to the public by the former propri
etor, (DR. WILSON,) with a confidence such as a long con•
tinned and careful trial of them in an ample practice war ,
rants. In their operation ea a cathartic, they influence
more the motory and less ihe secerning power of the bowels
than any other combination in common use.
AS k .A. TONIC—They agree with the most delicate atom•
soh, removing nausea, pain, and debility from that organ,
and through It impart tone and vigor to the whole system.
Alt AN ANTI-DYSPEPTIC—They neutralise and Inter
rapt the formation of acids, check fermentation, and pre.
vent the elimination of gases from the food in the stomach,
—the direct consequences of chemical action, action
which should never exist in the human stomach. From
these peculiarities In the Pills, a person taking them may
expect a free, full and natural evacuation of the bowels,
without pain, nausea, local or general debility, or that die•
gusting sickness or coedvenees—the usual effects which at
tend ur follow the nee of other pm gee.

been using your " Anti-Dyspeptic " Pills, when occasioned
required, for many years and can truthfully say that Ihave
never found any medicine equal to them in relieving me
from affections of the stomach and head. They have never
failed to relieve me from headache, and have always left

To Pa. R. A. Wass:al.—Dear Sir : I have been using your
Pills since 1840, and do decidedly say they are the best Pill
In use, or that I have any knowledge of. I first used them
for "sick headache," with which I suffered beyond descrip•
lion; I am happy to say, that they entirely cured me. Since
then I use them as a family medicine : if I am bilious, or
anything ails me, and I require medicine, I take a Pill,aud
it cures me ; they are my only medicine, and have been for
the last seventeen years. THOS. BLAOKMORE.

bLessas. B. L FAtionorroox a Co--I have bad considerable
experience in the use of the extraordinary Pill compounded
by Dr. S. Adams Wilson, of which you are now the propri
etors, and have often felt their benign influence in my own
cane for " nervous headache," arising from a disordered con
dition of the stomach. I have likewise prescribed them for
others, in cases of " hemicrania" and other forms of head
ache depending on a deranged and irritable condition of the
stomach and digestlbe organs, of which they seem peculiar.
ly adapted, being entirely free Irom any griping tendency.
I regard them as a very valuable Pill, and one that purges
without at all debilitsring. Yours truly,

RICH GLOSSY HAIR,

And who that is gray would not have it restored to its
former color, or bald, but would have the growth restored,
or troubled with dandruff and Itching bvt would have it
removed, or troubled with scrofula, scald head or other
eruptions,z but would be cured, or with sick headache,
(neuralgia), but. would be cured. It will also remove all
pimples fettra the face and skin. Prof. Wood's Hair Resta.

ANN &am, November 6, 1858.
Pam , . 0. J. Woed—De•ar Bir have heard much said of.
the wonderful effects of your Hair Restorative, but having
been SO often cheated by quackery and quack nostrums,
hair dyes, &c, I was disposed to place your Restorative in
the same category with the thousand and one loudly trum
peted quack remedies, until I met you in Lawrence county
some month 4 since, when you gave me such assurance as
induced the trial of your Restorative in my family—first by
my good wife, whose hair had become very thin and en
tirely white, and before exhausting one of your large bot
tles, her hair was restored nearly to its original beautiful
brown color, and had thickened and become beautiful and
glossy upon, and entirely over the head; she continues to
use it, not simply because of its beautifying effects upon
the hair, but because of its healthful influence upon the
head and mind. Others of my family and friends are using
your Restorative, with the happiest effects horefore, my
skepticism and doubts in reference to its character and
I value are entirely removed; I can and do and nior o
dially and confidentially recommend its nee by ail
would have their hair restored from wriw or (by
son of sickness or age,) to o color and beauty, an d by

all young persons who would nave their hair beautiful and
glossy. Very truly and grateffdlY OLOmtin, „„ ne m
