Scrofula, or King's Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid heroines vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out an disease on any port of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by . the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending „ from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of fim who says, "I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lunge, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently. vs.r umuliers perish bv disorders which, although not T . . are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination ; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, end, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER'S • Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remcdials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder front the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as Enurtiva and SHIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES, Butteries, BLAINS and BOILS, Tottons, Tar= and SALT RHEUM, SCALD Hun, RINGWORM, ituntuassuus, SYPHILITIC and MERCURIAL Dui- EASES, DROPSY, Dysrarsts, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS Amnia FROM VITIA TED Ott Imports lltoon. The popular belief in inumerityqf the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, .

It teas toy privilege recently to attend a Sunday School celebration, which awa kened on interest and produced nn impres• sion such no it seldom has been toy prin.. lege to witness. A brief account of the same, we think, cannot fail to interest your many readers, nut , wo trust awaken a deep. or interest among them in behalf of the S. S. cense. This celebrition was held on Wednesday, September 14th, in n beauti. lul grove, on the farm of M r. Pomeroy, nt the foot of Tuscarora mountain, near Elaine mills, Tell fp., in the southeastern corner oar county—almost on the identical epos ritn tint enti Juniata of Franklin, Perry and tenet. Tins ground hod recently been occupied by a Methodist comp tneeiiug and many of the tents were yet standing.. The day tans' beautiful, a worm, bright sun, and a gen tle breeze. Arrangements had been made for all the schools co meet at the Presbyte rian church, of Upper Tuscarora Volley, • of which the Rev. G. Van Artsclalen is the Stated Supply, and who has borne a con spicuous part to getting up this celebration. About sine o'clock the schools began to arrive in large wagons, drawn by four, six and eight horses. But such wagons ! and such loads of living freight we never saw before. Our school, just established this summer, In a destitute place, numbered one hundred and nine teachers and schol ars, and these were all brought in two wagons. The wagons were all beautifully decked with evergreens, and the horses adorned with flags. Some schools came • singing beautiful hymns, whilst others brought the beautiful, soul-stirring music of the fife and drum. One delegation af ter another arrived, till the whole co tupas around the church, •sins one dense mass of human beings. And still they come ! Excitement was now raised to the high est pitch. The walls and valh-ys echo with the martial music of fife and drum, C.,. chief marshal rides to and fro through the crowd making arrangements for the starch and giving the word of command; ' the banners and Flags float upon the breeze whilst the eyes of hundreds of children sparkle with delight, and clap'd their little hands for joy, saying one to soother. 'this is:the celebration.' Indeed, Mr. Editor, it was worth a ride fifteen or twenty miles, to witness the enthusiasm manifested.-- One individual remarked to us, he canto forty miles, and was amply compensated. About ten o'clock the word of command was given to march to the camp ground— about a mile distant. This parade was perhaps the most Imposing spectacle of the day, and much credit is due to Col. Noss, of Nosavil l e, Chief Marshal, for the good order observed. Firet in the march was the Band, followed by the Orators of the day ; then came the choir; next the b ctiouls—thirteen in number, defiled in regukir order, followed by hundreds of cit. icons, and a long train of vehicles, the whole not less than half a mile in length. By actual count it anti founa there were over eight hundred chiniren in the lino of march. Each teacher accompanied their class. Each school was headed by NI op propiate tanner, not expensive, yet beautl ful and neat, ornament'dvery tastefully with evergreen and flowers. Several of these banners had inscribed on them beautiful mottoes. We noticed the following : 'Suf. ,fer little children to come unto me.' In - -- HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1859. - - the name of God we will pet up our ban ner.' Choose you this day, whom you will nerve.' 'Feed my lambs.' 'The fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom.' On ono we observed, the simple, but em phatic motto, 'Onward.' On another, two hearts entwined together, and over them the word 'Union.' Not the least interesting reature In the procession, was a band of lit tle girls dressed in white, and beautifully decked with myrtle and roses. We saw one little girl in the possession, wto, we were informed, had committed to memory, this summer, ihe New Testament as far ns Gallatians, and she hopes to complete the book before ti`;t+ school closes in the full.— This is one of tits bles,?!! effects flowing from Sunday Schools. The 01415 9f the young are richly stored with the plYciou3 truths of God's word, which are as a lamp in their path throagh all the journey of life. The religious exercises of the day, were under the direction of Rev. G. Van Arts dalen. After singing the opening ode corn mencing with "We meet again in gladnes9, And thankful voices raise" prayer was offered appropriate to the'occtt. lion, in which all united. Several addres. ces were delivered, varying in style and ability, but each adapted to do good, and was well received by the large and atten, nye audience. 'nine cod sphco will not allow us to notice these particularly; we pimply remark they were worthy of the men, the theme and the occasion. The interests of the occasion was great ly increased by the excellent performance of the choir, of which all spoke in praise. There was a spirit about their singing we seldom hear. And when we sung the parting hymn, "How pleasant thus to dwell below, In the fellowship of love; And 'hough we part, is bliss to know, The good shall meet shore." many were affected to tears, rhe dotter and refreshments provided were partaken of with a good relish, during a part of which time, the band Waved some of their choicest music. This was another intereqing par' of the programme. bration, embracing as it did—persons of all denominations, denominational differences weie forgotten. all was peace—nothing passed to mar the beauty of the scene, and those who were engaged resolved to devote themselves more entirely to the Sunday School cause. About four o'clock the as sembly dispersed to good order. All were highly pleased with the order of the day, A FRIEND of SUNDAY ScuooLe. For the "Journal." Mn. EntTon—On the 2nd inst. we had the ;treasure of attending n Sunday School celebration, at Mai klesburg , and happy to say, in our estimation was one 'hut was hard to outpace, considering the opposition welt which it was attended in gating it up. We understand that quite a number of ob jections were formed by those who opposed it—one of which was, that it was gotten up by '"a few strips of boys, who had no authority to do so," Now the question oc curs, Who sustains and carries on the Sun day School ir, the vicinity of Marlclesburg? We think we are safe in replying that it is none other than those so called boys, who ore now censured ns being the Instigation of tho pest celebration. If this is nll the objection that can be made, we say—Sue ces's to the boys. We again say if the ol• der portion of the Sunday School patrons have so shamefully fniled to comprehend the benefits of the'Sundny School cause, and have stooped so low as to censure and ridicule those who are endeavoring to in• street and encourage the young, that they tire firstly resenting the principles of the original American. And last but not least if those persons fail in the future as they certainly have in the past to instruct the young in obtaining a moral education; these young med must nail undoubtedly will take their places as teachers nnd pa trons of the glorious Sunday School cause.

ROTHCCHH.a; ALd how ho made hie Fortune, FROM TILE FRENCII.] It was towards the end of September, 1793, after having npyeaied to all nations to engage in breaking the scepter of ty ranny, the French Convention raised and dispersed over Europe an army of three hundred thousand men, destined to serve as a support to its revolutionary doctrines. Greet dad small, powerful and weak despots alike fled before them, one and all, nn the wings of fear. Many among them at the approach of the republican troops • did not Coke time to pack up their tram urea. A German prince, the Landgravo of Hesse-Cassel, seeing the revolutionary flag on the borders of his State, had sufficient courage and coolness "not" to imitate those who runaway with empty pockets. Ho packed up his diamonds, with two or three millions of tiders, and took the road to Frankford, where he thought he would be able to place his fortunes securely.— Once arrived in the old imperial city, he hUrried to the dbiellint of a petty . Jewish banker, named Meyer Rothschild' who had more children than dollars, but was a skillful archeologist: l'he Landgrave of - llesse•Cassel hav ing a passion for the antique, prOfessed, great admiration for the Jew's science.

To ill!, man did the prince confide his six millions of property. Immediately afterwards Frankford cur' rendered to the French troops, and Meyer Rothschild was completely ruined. Like the ph4.utx , he rose, however, front the ashes of his former self, and became richer titan ever; but the Landgrave's property remained untouched. The rum of iho bantrer had led Prince Iles.,Ca,sel to believe that all his proper tv was swallowed up, of course; but a faint hope led him to Fran Word in 1802 I am as poor as Job, 'bold he to Roth, child, , You poor! my lord !

France borrowed this to pay its ear,;il,s. A financial alliance had been organized by, the brothers, embracing the five capi tals of Europe— Frankfort, Vienna, Na ples, London and Paris. Their house lent to the Russian and Austrian Emperors, to the Kings of Prussia, England, Denmark, Naples and Sardinia. They were informed of the least fluctua tion in public funds of different commer cial head-quarters. They only operated in what was. certain, and their operations were wrapped in impenetrable secrecy, a sure guarantee of success in speculation. Nothing could now arrest these Jews, they were the creditors of kings, and of nations. From one end of the cominent to the other, kings loaded them with hon or. They were made byrons, ned their posterity of both sexes enab..ed by letters patent at the court of Vienna. The King of Prussia, and the Grand Duke of Iless.e. Darmstadt received them among their Aulic counsellors. All kinds of orders and cros ses were worn by these children of Israel -and the haughty autocrat of the north ioaded thein with titles arid with respect. Three of the sons of old Meyer seem to have inherited his genius in financial mat ters, Nathan, Solomon and James. Nathan made a fortune of thirty million francs, which he quadrupled by the inva sion of 1815. This celebrated financit.r died in 18d0. James Rothschild wished at' one time to cause his wile to be received at court, (he had married his o•vn niece, the dough. ter of hie brother Solomon.) This kind of marriage is authorized by the law of Moses. This ,ady—Madame de Rothschild a true lady—of great distinction in hut manners, would have appears el at great advantage at the Miller:es.

'Nothing is easier, nephew—advertise the reward, end if it is a Jew who wrote it, lie will come for the money.' Rothschild tried to beat down the price asked him by Horace Vernet, for his por trait, which the artist refused to paint for less than five hundred francs. The firm. mar ran away in horror. Vernet stopped him, and told him he would do it for noth ing. It stands in the picture of La Smala, he old man running away with the cas ket of gold and jewels. Sordid avarice and fright are depicted there ns they had been on Rothschild's facewhen running away from the artist's studio. Louis Philippe was obliged to mortgage Madame Adelaide's property on one oc casion, in order to 'screw a loan' out of the old Baron. Re sent thirty thousand francs to Mare Cousidwre, and when com plimented on his generosity answered, !Oh ! I t.hell get back double.'

ELEPHANT BATHING IN INDIA, Beyond the dhoby, in cleaner water by comparison, a bevy of elephants are en joying their morning bath. And they do enjoy it, indeed! See how they roll away like so many porptlises, right under the flood, and leave the mahouts shoutiug and groping with their feet !or the unstable black islands which after a tints rise up above the surface. Look at the great jets they blow up over their backs, and listen to the deep breath of pleasure or the shrill flourish of delight with which they lie down ou the sand while their attendants knead them all over. These great creatures are so sagacious, so sensitive to kindness, that even in their wild state I cannot feel any sympathy for those who delight to killing them and calling it 'sport.' But these ele phants, fond as I am of them, are, it must be admitted, dangerous playmates. In our camp there were no less than num ikoonits , or , uturderers' which have killed their ma. bouts or other attendants. Ono huge criminal, with a speckled fore head and proboscis, is guilty of the murder of no lest than three unfortunate natives. This magnificent wild monster, which be. longed to Sir Hugh Wheeler, was carried off by :he Nene; and was delivered up to us by the Rajah of Ferruckabad, died a few days ago immediately after carrying coins officers to church. His weakness' was fine French rolls, which he swallowed as an alderman would lake C,ckle's pills, and the twinkle of his eye, as ho gulphed the loaf down, and gave a gentle sigh out of his proboscis proclaimed the Sybarite. I used to take great delight in observing the creatures at bath in the river which flows by our camp. They cane down in files, trumpeting gaily in anticipation of the treat, and floun deredinto the waters of the Goomete, like I so many party Bruxellers enjoying the pea soup of Ostend. Hach takes a long, deep drink, putting his proboscis into the water, and then discharging the contents of it when filled by suction, into the cavernous maw. Having thus filled up a wrinkle or two in hie side, he deposits himself boldly I into the stream, so that one side lies out of water, and the tip of his proboscis is kept above the surface for air. On this ex posed island the mahouts labor diligently, washing the beasts and rubbing with hard brushes, cleaning his es's, kneading and shampooning him, while the pachyderm einits little squeaks of satisfaction, and he is very angry indeed if he does nn, get his share of ortenifulatioa.
