The standard remedies for all diseases of the Jlunys are ScuEXoK’s PULMONIO SyYRUP, SonENoK'S Sra. WErp Tonig, and SoHENCK'S MANDRAKE Prvrg,and if taken before the lnngs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. - :

To these three medicines. Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary digeases, . The Puimonice Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an casy expectoration, for-when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the lnngs begin to heal.

To epable the Pulmopiz Syrup to do this, Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Shenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cieanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s Maudrake Pil's act on the liver,removing all obstractions,relax the gall bladder the bile starts freely and the Hver is goon relieved. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonicis a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkili of which it is composed miveag‘with tha faod and nrevente gnnring' It agsists the dig(gstilon by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Palmonic Syrupwill make good blood ; then the lungs heal, and tbe patient will surely get well if care ix taken to prevent fresh cold. e .

PURIFIES the BLOOD, 1 Renovates -and Invigorates the . . ; : ‘Whole System, ‘ N r N T ITS MEDICINAL PROPERTIER ARE ALTERATIVE, TONIC, SOLVENT, AND DIURETIC. . VEGETINE is made exclusively from the jnices of carefully selected barks, roots and herbs, and g 0 strongly concentrated, that it will effectually eradicate from the system every taint of Serofuia, Scrofulous Homor, Tumors, Cancers, Cancercus Humors, Erysipelas, Salt Rhenm,Syphilitic Diseases, ¢anker, Faintness at the Stomack, and all diseases that arise from impure blood. Sciatieas Inflamniatory and Chromnie Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Goutand Spinal Complaints can only be effectnally cured through the blood. ‘ 4 3 For Ulecers and Eruptive Diseases of the Skin; FPustuies, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, Tetter, Scald Head, and Ringworm, VEGETINE has never failed to effect a permanent cure. | For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, Leucorrhoea, arising from internal ulceration, and uterine diseases and Gemneral Debility, VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes of these complaints, .It invigorates and strengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cures ujceration and regulates the bowels. . ! For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Costiveness, Paipitation of the heart, Headache, Pilles, Nervo. smess, and General Prostration of the Nervous System, no medicine has given snch perfect satisfaction as the VEGETINE. It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and possesses a controlling power over the nervour system. The remarkable -cures effected by VEGETINE have izduced many physicians and apethecaries whom we know to prescribe and ‘use it- in their own families. | In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet discovered for the above diseases, and 18 the only reliable BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before the public. |

He is now sevex;lteen years of age; for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by s¢rofulous affection, and was so far reduced that’ nearly all who saw him thou%lht his recovery impossible. A council of able physicians conld give us buy the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that he was beyond the reach of human remedies. that even amputation could not ggve him, as he had not vigor enough toendure the oﬁemtinn. Just:then we commenced giving. him VEGETINE, and from that tinie to the present he has been continuously improving. He has lately resumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and cane, nng walks about cheerful-. ly andstrong. oo : Though' there' is still some discharge from the opening where the limb was lanc ed, we have the fullest. contidence that! in a little time he will be perfectly cured.. e i : He has taken about three dozen bottles of Veag®TlNE, but lately uses but little, as he declares that he is too well to be taking medicine.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, \PRIL 19, 1877.

THE IRON VAULT.

I live in San Francisco, and am a locksmith by trade. My callingis a strange one, and possesses a certain fascination, rendering it. one of the ‘most agreeable of pursuits. Many who follow it see nothing -in it but labor—think of ‘nothing but its returns in gold and silver. To'me it has other charms than the money it produces.— I am called upon almost daily to open doors and peer into long-neglected apartments; to spring, the stubborn ‘locks of safes, and gloat upon the treasures piled within; to quietly enter the apartments of ladies with more beauty than discretion, and pick the locks of drawers containing peace destroying missives, that the dangerous evidenees of wandering affection may not reach the eye of husband or fatber, in possession of the missing key ;to force the fastenings of cash boxes, and depositories of records, telling of men made suddenly rieh, of corporations plundered, of orphans robbed, of hopes crushed, of families ruined. Is theére no charm 1n all this? no food for speculation? no scope for the range of pleasant fancy? Then, who would not be a locksmith, though his face is begrimed with the soot of the forge, and his hands are stained with rust?

. But:1 have a story to tell--not exactly a story, either —for a story im plieg the completion as well as the beginning of a narrative—and mine is scarcely more than the introduction to one. Let him who dedls in things of fapey write the rest. In the spring of 18%6—1 think it was in April—l opened alittle shop on Kearney street, and soon, worked myself into a fair business. Late one evening alady, closely veiled, entered my shop, -aud, pulling from lier cloak a small japanned box. requested me to open it. The lock: was curiously constructed, and 1 was all of anhour fitting it with a key. The lady seemed nervous at the delay, and atlength requested me to close the door. I was'a little surprised at. the suggestiyn, but of course complied., Shutting thy door and. returning to my work, thelady withdrew her veil, disclosing as sweet a face as can well be imagined. There was a restlessness in- the eye and a pallor in the cheek, however,which plainly told of a heart ill at eaye, and in a moment every emotion fo\her had given place to that of pity. | s “Perhaps you arg not well,. madam, and the niglit air istoo chilly ?” said I, rather inquisitively," | A I felt a rebuke in lrg repigs “In requesting you t close the door,, I had no other object than to escape the attention ¢f other fersons.” I did -not reply, butlithoughtfully continued my work. Sle resumed: ! “That little box contdns valuable’ papers—private papers—nd I have lost the key, or it has been stolen. I should not wish to_haye yw remember that I ever came here oy such an | errand,” she continued, with ome hesitation, and giving-me a look which it was'no difficult matter to undgstand. “Certainly, madam, if you deyire it. If 1 cannot forget yourface, I will at least attempt to lose the recollmion‘ of ever seeing it here.” 3 The lady. bowed rather coldy at what I considered a fine compliment, and I proceeded with my work, satis--fied that a 'suddenly discovered partiality for me had nothing to do with tho vioit, Ifaving, encgeedod, aftor much filing and fjtting, in turning the lock, I‘was‘seizec?l,wit-h-n curicsity to get a-glimpse at the precious confents of the box, and, suddenly raisiog the lid, discovered a bundle of lettes and a daguerreotype, as I slowly passed the box to its pwneri She seized it hqrriedly, and placing the letters4nd picture in her pocket, locked the box, and, drawing the veil over her face, pointed to the door. I opeyed it, and as she passed into the strest she merely whispered; e ““Remember!” - |

We met again, and I have been thus particular in describixﬁf her ‘visit to the -shop to render pr@able a sabsequent recognition. :’ o . -About 2 o’clock in fe morning, in the latter part of May following,. L was awakened from/sleep by a gentle tap upon-the windoy of the little room back of the shop,in which I lodged. Thinking of burglirs, I sprang out of bed, and in 2 morent was at the window, with a hetvy hammer in my hand, which I asually kept -at that time within convenient reach of my bedside. , Ay : {

“Who's ther?” I inquired, raising ‘the hammer, and peering out into the darkness--for it was as dark as Egypt when underthé curse of Israel’s God. “Hist!” exclaimed a figure, stepping in front o the window; “open the door; I hgve business for you.” . “Ratherpast business hours, Eshould say; butwho are you?” .

“No oxe that would harm you,” returned che voice, which I imagined was raher feminine for a burglar’s. “And no one that can!” I replied, rathe: emphatically, by way of a warning, 1s I tightened my grip upon the ‘hammer, and proceeded to the door. I yushed ‘back.the bolt, and, slowly opening the ' door, discovered @ the stranger already upon the steps. ““What do you want?” I abruptly inquired. L e . “L will tell you,” answered the same: soft voice, “if you dare open the door| wide enough for me to enter.” ] “Come in,” said I, resolutely, throwing the door ajar, and proceeding to light a candle. Having succeeded, 1 turned to examine the visitor. He was a small and neatly-dressed gentleman, with aheavy Raglan around hisshoulders, and a blue navy cap drawn suspiciously over the eyes. Asladvanced toward him, he.seemed ‘to hesitate a ‘moment, then raised the cap from his forehead, and looked me curiously in the face. I did not drop the candle, but I acknowledge to a little nervousness as I hurriedly placed the light upon the table, and silently proceeded to invest myself with two or three very necessary articles of clothing. As the Lord liveth, my visilor was a lady, and the same for whom I had opened the little box about' a month before! Having completed my hasty toilet, I attempted to stammer an apology for my rudeness, but utterly failed.

““You have gone quite far enough, madam, with the &pla:natioh,” I interrupted; “I am ud at your service.” *As I said,” she esntinued, “you are required to pick the lock of a vault, and rescue from death an unfortunate man who has been confined there for three days.” : “To whom does the vault belong?” I inquired. e . e “My husband,” wasthe somewhat reluctant reply. = “Then why so mna secrecy ? or, rather, how camel a mn confined in such aplace?” - :

“To the.end of the world, madam, on suech an errand.” ) :

“Then prepare yourself; there is a cab waiting at the door.” I was a little surprised, for I had not heard the sound 0f wheels. ' Hastily drawing on a coat, and providing myself* with the required implements, I was soon at the duor. There, sure enough, was the cab, with the driver in his seal, ready for the mysterious journey. I entered the vehicle, followed by the lady.. As soon as I was seated she produced a heavy handkerchief, which, by" the faint light of an adjacent street iamp, she carefully bound round my eyes. The lady seated herself beside me, and the cab started, -In half an hour the vehicle stopped —in what part of the city I am entirely ignorant, as ‘it was evidently driven in anything but a direct course from the point of starting. ' Examining the bandage, to see that vigion was completely obscured, the lady handed me the ‘bundle of tools with which I was provided; then, taking me by the arm, led me through a gate into a house which'l knew was of brick, and, after taking me through a passage way which could not have been less than fifty feet in length, and down a flight of stairs into what was evidently an underground basement, stopped beaside a .vault, and removed the handkerchief from my eyes. “Ilere is the vault—open it!” said %he. springing the door of a dark: lanern, and tNlvwing w boam of Tigght upon the lock. - -

I seized a bunch of skeleton keys, and after a few trials, which the lady seemed to watch with the most painful anxiety, sprang the bolt, Thedoor swung upon its hinges, and my companion, telling me not to close it, as it was self-locking, sprang into the vault. I did not follow. Iheardthe murmur 0. low voices within, and the nexs moment the lady reappeared, and leaning upon her arm was a man, with face so pale and. haggard that I startled at the sight. How he must have suffered during the three long days ot his confinement!’ .

“Remain here,” she said, handing me the lantern; “I will be back in a moment.” e

' The two slowly ascended the stairs, and I heard them enter a room immprediately above where I was standing. In less than a minute the lady returned to me, ' :

“Shall I close it, madam ?” said I, placing my hand upon the door of the vault. : < = pog ua

- “No! -no!” she exclaimed, hastily seizing my arm; “it awaits another oceupant.”

“Madam, you certainly do not inténd fo—7 . : - “Are you ready?”. she interrupted, impatiently, holding the handkerchief to my eyes. The thought flashed across; my mind that she intended to push me into the vaglt, and bury me and my secret together. She seemed to read the suspicion, and continued, coldly, “Do not be alarmed; you are nob the manl . 1 1 ; ; I could not mistake the truth or the fearful meaning of the remark, and I shuddered as I bent my head to the handkerchief. My eyes were as carefully bandaged as before, and I was led to the cab, and then driven home a more circuitousroute, if possible, than the ene by which we came. Arriving in front of the house, the handkerchief was removed, and I stepped from the vehicle. A purse of $5OO was placed in my hand, and in a momeht the cab and its mysterious occupant had turned the corner, and were out of sight. ] L : I entered the shop, and the purse of gold was' the only evidence I could summon in my bewilderment that all I had just done and witnessed was not a dream. i {

A month after that I saw the lady and the gentleman taken from ' the vault walking leisurely along Montgomery street.

‘New York SBun: Alfred E. Lee is the private Secretary of Gov. Hayes who wrote the Know-Nothing letter which made so much trouble early in the campaign. Hayes evidently has fgrgotten his wrath against Lee, for he has made him United States Consul at Frankfort. William D. Howells is the novelist who misrepresented Hayes, in a campaign biography, by painting -him in too high ecolors. Hayes has forgiven Howells also, and sent him to Switzerland to enjoy éne of the pleasantest diplomatic/positions in. Egrope. Thus does R. B. Hayes forgive his traducers, and thus does the cause of civil service reform move on. ok .

The World: The. republican papers suggest that now that Mr. Hayes is President itwould only be generous and decent. for democratic journals to “let up” on him. Why should we?
