identical in emoll, flavor, taste, and appearance, with
that manufactured by the " Little Busy Bees." I can
most cordially recommend it to the public, as a pure

of the compound to do coo large washing without

texture of any thing which may be washed with it,
and not to injure the most delicate colors of colored
clothing; on the contrary, it sets and brightens the
colors of any colored clothing.
We beg to call the attention of the public, and

MR. RICHARD COLE—Dear Sir, you requested of me to
know how lung I have used the Washing Compound in
my own family.
I have used it for six months, and have found It to
he exactly what it is recommended to be. It has not
injured my clothing in the least ; indeed, I find that
they wear longer than when washed In the ordinary
way.
It also sets and brighteist the colors of colored cloth

compound.
Money would be no inthicomout for me to do with

Maio., as it was the Unit time! ever washed wato , o 4
rubt,o, or macrame, I got through with my washing
in one fourth of the time, avid with one fourth of labor
that it took me In the old fashioned way. I would
not, upon any account, do wltout it. It is one of the
Groatsst wonders of the ago, as It eaves time,
money
and labor, as well as making the clothes look whiter
than by the old process. The effect of the tompound
upon colored clothing is to brighten the colors

Carlisle, May 5, 1866
Messrs COLE, STEWARD, & CO., Gentlemen, I have
tried the " Merrill's London Washing Compound" you
gave to ute, in the washing of twenty two pieces, in
one hour. It gave use perfect satisfaction, and fully
comes up to all that is said of it. I did not use a wash
board, neither did I rub the %Mlles with my hands.
They were as white, clean, and clear as any I over
washed ju the ordinary way. It sets and brightens
the colors of colored clothing. ,It dogs not, in the
slightdst degree injure the clotlilfgrin nse the com
pound, lessens labor, saves time, and money. I would
not, for any consideration, do without it. I most cor

THE DEAD CAPTIVE
BY A. BILSON bonnie
Prom rebel dungeons daik and drear,
'behold! they boar an humble bier;'
A moment stay and drop a tear—
Thereon a captive Iles:
Away from home and kindred torn,
Of every tie andcomfort shorn,
Ile to his resting place to borne
Without a parent's signs.
'Tie sad; yet sadder still the eight
O'er which each morn the Run's beams bright
Diffused a softened, chastened light=
The boat of living dead ;
Dead to pleasure and good cheer;
Dead to hope, to joy, and fear;
Dead to all that life holds dear,
And but to suffering wed.
Observe that eye's dim, glassy stare;
Those limbs—the weakened from they hear ;
That voice—lto husky accents hear;
Of what do they relate?
Of hunger and of want they toll ;
Privations and an earthly hull ;
Of fiends who know to torture well ;
Of devils incarnate.
An honest boy, without a stain,
In grieving, sorrow, and in pain,
Unmurmuring long he bore his chain,
To meat this fate at last ;
No more shall cares oppress him now ;
No more shall troubles wreathe his brow
No longer shall ho, shivering, bow
Before the chilling blast.
Each eve, when day his course has run,
Tho wretched mother waits her son,
And prays to Heaven to spare this one,
Of nil the rest beruft ;
Ah I who to her will breek the tale,
Support that aged frame so frail,
And backward stho bursting wall,
When told that's not loft I
Awnko !Columbia, wilkS'l arise I
Thy enptivo son in pleading cries
To free him, save him, Oro ho Wee—
nie prison doors unfold ;
Oh I God of Justice I Can it he
That nation proud and vaunted free
Will lot her eons such anguish see
In miseries untold
au isttlitunn.

spectable denomination in Carlisle. Now
that an institution of learning had been se
cured, so venerable in its character, so far
reaching in its influence, and so favorably
located for patronage, it was felt that this
place was to be a centre of much attraction
and a source of great power to the Church.
The College Faculty was constructed of
strong material. No better men could have
been chosen for their positions, than DURBIN
for the Presidency,OALDWELL for the Math
ematical Chair, EMORY for the Professor
ship of Languages, ALLEN for that of the
NatuAl Sciences, CROOKS for the Superin
tendence of the Preparatory School ; and
Judge REED for the Department of Law.
With such an array of talent the future was
radiant with promise. Only lot the pulpit
of the Church in the town be supplied with
a learned, eloquent, and devoted preacher ,
who, whilst the Professors of the College
were instructing the students in Botany, As
tronomy and Mineralogy, would strive to
sanctify their literary culture by blending
it with the Scieniti"Scientiarum—the knowl
edge of the Rose of Sharon, the Rock of
Ages, and the Star of Bethlehem,—and Old
Dickinson would continue, as in former
days, to send forth from its fountain many
streams to elevate and dignify the State, and
make glad the city of our God.
It was not difficult for the Conference to
select such a Pastor for the congregation
worshipping in the plain, but capacious and
substantial structure at the corner 'of Main
and Pitt streets. A young Englishman
some ton years previously had come to our
shores, to preach the gospel, and, as ono of
his first appointments, was sent to an obscure
circuit in the North-eastern extremity of
Lancaster County, where he labored with
great nuocess, though as his venerable col
laborator in that field once told us, scarcely
seeming conscious of the good he was doing,
as was indicated by the remark on ono occa
sion,—" Father MdGowan, all I can hope to
do, is toscare up the partridges that you may
shoot them," Afterwards this young Timo
thy was located at Columbia, in the same
county, where crowds attended upon his
ministry, and many through his instrumen
tality, were, under the Divine blessing,
hopefully converted. As a matter of course
the fame of COPIMAN spread, his very hu
mility because a stopping-stcne to promo
tion, he could not be hidden ; his ability and
zeal won a warm appreciation, and he was
sent to the charge at Carlisle with all its
present and prospective importance. ,
We well remember his arrival and the
dteritensatiorcwhich'ii firOduced.' EU ser
mons for the first few Sabbaths loft no room'
or reason to fear that the high expectations
which centred in him would be doomed to
any measure of disappointment. And this
will be regarded as no mean• compliment by
those who remember that the other pulpits
of the town wore all at the time, as has been
so much the case since, filled with men of
mark, under whose profound. and. Unctuous
ministrations deep impreasiiMs

largely augmented, and' COOkMaili certainly
had more reason to complain. of the, size ef

solemnity which overspread his countenance
loft to one to doubt that a heavy, felt weight
of responsibility was pressing upon his soul.
The hymns and lessons of Scripture wore
road with a , distinctness, discrimination, and
emOasis, which indicated that, whether by
natuLe or study, he was quite a master of
elocttion. Under his reading, old things
became now, and hidden treasures wore, de-
Toloped. His discourses were marked by
freshness, fluency, variety, strength, earnest
ness concealed method, very free use of the
phreaeology and illustrations of. Scripture s ;
fearlessness, directness of application, very
earnest delivery, and preeminently by what
may be styled pictorial representation. As
imagination appeared `to be a leading faculty
of his mind,. ho generally selected texts
which would give it free scope. We think
it likely, as ho never used a manuscript, that
his preading was mensoriter, as the method
was too systematic for it to have been ex 7
tomporaneous, and the style was too chaste
and concise, to have grown upon the bones
of a mere skeleton.
It is pretty clear evidence that a sermon
is a good cafe, if it makes a lasting impres
sion, and this evidence we have peundantly
in our own case touching manye Cookman's
discourse's. Never shall Nve., 6 rget his mas
terly treatment of the varey in which the
dry bones flew together,And bone was joined
to its fellow, and muscles and skin covered
them, under the v i,lfying breath that swept
over them, until an army of living men
stood up for rho Lcrd, As the vivid and
thrilling picture was delineated upon the
canvass, every eye wee fixed upon it in utter
forgetfulness of the :imner, and every heart
heavy with suspense as the absorbing process
advanced to its grind completion. Thus it
is, also, with the explanation of the Parable
of the Prodigal Son, whose alienation from
his father, depfcture from his home, gradual
roductin to poverty, pain, and disgrace, ex
perience of a ivicked world's unwillingness
to aid or com:ort its ill-fated votaries in
their sorrows desire, yet shame and dread,
to return, heal resolution to go back, and
cordial reception by his forgiving father not
withstandit.g the ugly jealousy of his broth
er,=all were depicted with .a - naturalness
pathos, and power, which wrought every
feeling of the enraptured audience to the high
est-Intensity, and absolutely made the ter
mination of the representation almost a re
lief from an interest too strong to be longer
sustained. The same thing is true of the
exhibition that was made of the temptation
of Joseph, in which he was followed through
all the treacherous and seductive arts that
ho was plied with, until ho vindicated his
purity by stern rejection, which point the
preacher having reached, he clinched it, as
he often d.d the climaxes which he reached
with similar quaint but most telling express
sons, by saying, " Blessed be God, he lost
his coat, but saved his character."
Cookman had a fine flow of wit and hu
mor which he not unfrequently called to
his aid in doing good, especially in platform
speeches. On one occasion, perhaps the day
before Commencement, a number of the mem
bers of the Board of Trustees were expected
to deliver addresses in the church, in behalf
of the College, but some of them failed to
be present. Cookman, after very importu
nate solicitation, agreed to take the place of
one of the absentees, and deliver an im
promptu speech, which he thus facetiously
but most happily began.—" As the last
learned brother was speaking, aware that I
was to follow him, and that others equally
qualified and prepared with them to interest
the audionce'are to succeed me, I could not
but liken the different speakers te . the vari
ous parts of speech, one of which represents
the name of a thing, another expresses its
quality, another qualities .46c.—and as I
asked myself to what part of speech must I
be compared, I could thing of none that is
a more appropriate symbol than the little
conjunction and, whose only purpose it is to
connect the eloquent speakers we have heard
with those who aro yet to favour us." This
might seem like affectation of humility, but
it was not. Cookman was a genuinely hum
ble man. Of this we wanted not much more
proof than the fact, that, a month or two
after his settlement in Carlisle, when every
body knew and admired him, as we stood
at the'Post-0113.ce windnw ono day, he ap
proached and asked fOr letters, saying, " My
name is Cookman." Ho, was also a charita
ble man in his judgments. It seems but
yesterday that ho entered a parlor In which
we were making a visit, and when ono of
the young ladies asked him how ho was,

other eminently useful Pastors, are called a

privilege under such bereavements to say

good workmen are withdrawn from the
scaffold, still the church the great Redeem

BOYS AND GIRLS
BY MRS. GEORGIC WASHINGTON WYLLYS
"Why don't you say something to the
boys ?"
That was the question we were asked the
other day. And we balanced our pen on the
top story of the pen rack and thought the
matter over. Sure enough, why didn't we
say something "to the boys 1" They need 'a
lecture badly,enough ; but we don't propose
to lecture them ; they wouldn't be any worse
off for a good fifteen headed sermon ; but
we are not exactly in the sermonizing line.
The fact is, that boys between the ages of
sixteen and twenty-six' require delicate di
plomacy.and astute management. Like the
celebrated animal of Hibernian fable, they
must not know that they are being "driven
to Cork." Fancy a small human being like
ourself attempting to "lecture" people that
could look over the top of our head without
the least difficulty I Why, we shouldn't have
the face to do it.
But there are some things we should like
to say to them, in a gossiping, friendly sort
of way. We don't mind confessirig that wo
are rather partial than otherwise to boys.
We like 'em- that is, when they have fairly
outgrown the cat-Persecutingc sugar-steal
ing,'orchard-robbing, and generally diabol
ical stage peculiar to the species. A frank,
straight-forward, honest young man, who
looks you pleasantly in the eye and says
what he has got to say as though he meant
it, is—well, he's almost equal to a frank,
straight-forward young woman : and that,
according to our ideas, is saying a good deal.
But, boys, there are sorhe characteristics on
which you are capable of improvement still.
You are not perfect yet—no, not by several
points of the compass !
To begin with—why don't you talk a lit
tle more truth and reason, and a little less
nonsense, to the girls ? "You do talk sense!"
That's altogether a mistake. Just remem
ber what the chief topics of conversation
were last evening. How do you suppose it
would read, phonographcd by an experienced
reporter Wouldn't it bring the color into
your cheeks, and make you feel a little a
shamed of yourself ? "The girls like it."
Now do you think that is an honest conclu
sion to come to? Have you ever given them
a fair chance . / Did you over try the experi
ment of rational conversation ? Tho girls
cannot very well help themselves, if you go
off on the creamy tide of flattery and trifling.
They will have to follow too. Did you over
notice the change that comes over the spirit
of the dream when half-a-dozen gentlemen,
talking polities, literature, or every day
events„ are invaded by the apparition of a
young lady in their midst? If they were
hatching high treason, or plotting a bank
burglary, they couldn't sheer away from the
subject under discussion with more instan
taneous speed, taking refuge in the shallow
platitudes of weather, fashion, and hollow
Commonplace. Very complimentary to wo
men in general, isn't it ?
~Boys, don't fall into this, egregious error !
Talk to a girl as though she had the ordi
nary allowance of brains, and, take our word
for it she will find some way of expressing
her gratitude. -
We should like to say a few words about
that cigar, and that.packago of tin-foil in
your pockets, and those occasional glasses of

The fact is, that you don't as a general
thing do the girls justice': Because you are
poor and obscure, you fancy they will not
listen to your suit. Nonsense? You may
be as awkward as Calbian, as plain as Crom

Moreover, don't allow yourselves to be
discouraged because you - are not what the
world calls a ladies' man," because you
cannot dance as gracefully, or hold a fan as
skillfully, or whisper pretty complimentary
nothings as readily as somebody else. You
will find that nobody wants a ladies' men"
for a companion through life, agreeable as
ho may be in ball-room or promenade.
Don't blush when you are caught in a
rusty coat, or an old-fashioned hat, going
sensibly about your own business; don't
fancy that your character will stand any
higher for wearing expensive kid gloves
every day, or hiring somebody to do for you
what you can n great dcfal better do for
yourself. Don't be foolishly extravagant for
fear some brainless fool will think you are
mean. - Just ask yourself whet io bona
and right, and then go ahead and do it, no
matter that people say or think. And if
you haiie been unfortunate enough to do a
foolish thing, don't ,shrink away from the
consequences, but stand up and meet them
like a man. Oh, boys, how many of the
evil 4 of this world are brought on by a little
lack of moral courage!
Have we gossiped enough? Perhaps we
have ; perhaps there will be no room in our
columns for those sly hints we were about
to whisper regarding the letters you write to
your particular feminine friends! and the
long evenings you dream away, careless and
purposeless and the dollars you throw away,
whoa dimes would be all-sufficient; and the
tight boots you wear, iu bold defiance of
coming corns; and the indigestible restau
rant dinners you devout,- as if there were n
retributive dyspepsia impending ; ' find the
number of pairs of kid gloves you wear per
annum, and forty other things which are
none of our business. Do not suppose, how
ever that we are not actively interested in
all these matters just because we happen to
be it women. We could say a great deal
about them, only we have concluded to be
merciful this once ; and besides, as we said
before, we always were partial to the offen
ders as a class. Perhaps they won't do so
any more.
GIRLS
"I don't see what the women do with
themselves all the day long!"
That was the half-earnest and, half-jest
ing remarks of one of our business friends,
as he stood on his door-step, shawled, glov
ed end equipped for a journey to his down
town office! He had a thousand things to
think of and look after—a score of daily
plans to retard or expedite—during the en
suing eight hours. "The women" were
quite differently situated;
We wonder if the fathers and brothers,
whose footsteps swell the everlasting roar
and tumult of streets, ever think how dreary
and purposeless must necessarily be the
lives of those they leave behind them in the
for r walls of home! We do not allude to
the brisk, busy housekeepers, and the moth
ere of children, little or big: They find
quite enough to do, in all conscience, be
tween servants, piektes, bumped heads, and
broken china. We mean - the girls, perhaps
just arrived from boarding-schools—the
"young ladies" who have yet neither ser
vants, babies, nor household responsibilities
to engross their time. They are martyrs,
if ever martyrdom existed—victims to the
slow, sickening poison of smut!. Perhaps
they read ft little—perhaps they practice a
few dreary pages of music, or work a little
in bright-colored . ..floss silks or Berlin wool;
and then they look sleepily at their watches
and wonder if nobody will call, and think,
lazily,'lf it would be to nine,' trouble to go
up stairs and put on their things for a walk.
The fact is, the poor girls are perishing
'by inches for the mere lack of something

What a pity it is that Government does
not compel people to occupy their time !
Girls, it is for you to take the matter into
your own hands. Don't be afraid of under
taking too much. If you succeed, great
good is attained ; if you fail, there is little
harm done. Give yourself some clearly de
fined daily occupation. Without a purpose
in life, you are among the miserable drones
who drift aimlessly about, all unconscious of
the daily beauty and sublimity of living.
Do not, neglect the little home duties that
olvetoie orouruk our tuaietOrtoo. The noblest
woman that ever achieved eminence would
only be half a woman if she did not remem
ber the tiny items of domestic life. Sweep
and dust, sew and practice; keep the home
hearthstone bright with your constant care;
but do more than this—aim higher. There
is nosurer recipe for keeping the eyes bright,
the cheekjosy, and the heart bright, than
constant 'occupation. We are out of pa

year-old girls talk sentimentolly about hav

Remember, whenever you are tempted to
let the opportunity of active esretion or use
ful endeavor slip by, that your lives are only
lent to you ; remember that the time is com

The President and Thaddeus Ste-
We havo already alluded to the fact that
Mr. Stevens and President Johnson met and.
shook hands at a recent reception given by
Gen. Grant, but the following description of
that meeting, by a Washington correspon
dent of the Springfield Republican, is too
good to be lost to our readers. The corres
pondent places the President between Gen
eral and Mrs. Grant, receiving his friends,
and then says
The President "receive—whom? Thad.
Stevens for ono. That was a suggestive pic
ture to see these two political foes grimly
smiling and shaking hands with each other
like amiable hyenas. It is not true, the
story of the Democratic papers, that he ex
tended his hand first with great cordiality.
It is not in human nature that one man
should be overjoyed at the sight of another
man he honestly believes wishes him be
headed or assassinated. It was Thaddeus
who made the advances and the President
accepted them politely. Any one witness
ing the scene might easily believe that Mr.
Stevens' assertions were true, and that the
President's speech was a "stupendous hoax."
The President's political resentments are
d ep and personal, but Thad. Stevens will
chase a man most ferociously in a public
speech, and five minutes after go and invite
him to lunch with the best humor imagina
ble. After he turned away from Mr. John
son on Friday evening, me-gentleman asked
him if the President looked toward his pock
et to see if there was some weapon there to
assassinate him. "Oh, no," said Thaddeus,
•the President and 1 are the best of friends.
We are not afraid of each other; -but we are
both afraid of Mrs. Swisshelm."
