CATARRH is a disease of the mucous membrane. Temperaments and constitations varfstts severity in individual eases. Catarrh may arise from a - cold or a succession of colds, from sudden change * of atmosphere, wearing wet clothing, or exposure to_inclement weather, and becoming thoroughla chilled when the digestive organs are in a morbi or inactive condition, and the strength and vital forces exhausted. The disease mgy arise from a scrofulous condition of the blood, from Scarlet: Fever,Measles, and Diphtheria, in which cases the eye and ear are general%y involved and discharge quantities of matter. The discharges from the nose, the distinctive feature in all catarrhal cases from whatever cause they arise, may be thin and watery, and 80 acid as to cause redness and excoriation of the skin wlnh which they come in con--1:11(:&i or thick and fel owish, emitting a foul odor, or clear and white like the white of anegg There ~may be an entire lack of secrction, the surfaces beix}g dry and feverish,the face, front and up‘per part " of the head feel!ng uncomfortable, and as if it was encircled b{ a tight, unyiclding band. This latter phase is called Dry éatarrh. The free mattery dis- - charges cause thé passages to swell and become Athickened, rendering breathing through tlae nosec difficult or impossible, and the sufferer finds it necossary to breathe through the mouth, thcreb{. | fermming cold air to pass directly to the bronchis! übes and lungs, The mattemppassing down the throat creates a constant desire to hawk and exr'ectorate to throw it off; but when the membrane dry and fevcrish, instead of passing freely down | from the pose ana throat, the mucus becomos hard and fon@s into scabs, incrustations, and hard Jumps, which adhera so firmly to the nasal passages and throat as to require very persistent efforts to aislod{;e them, The cd'c in sympathy becomes inflamed, red, weak, and watery, or inthe morning the lids m:\¥ be found glucd together, and matter 18 secreted in more or lcss quantity, The ear also becomes scriously aflected, discharging quantities _of matter, besides being visited by themost vialent ~peuralgic pains, ending fru(lmcntly in_inflamma- . tion, uleeration, and finally deafness. The throat, : bronchial tubces, and lungsare In many cases afiected by catarrh, and when prostration of the nervous si'etcmgis superadded, such aficctlons become glarm. n%. i .

45 Years Before the Public. - | THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S 4 CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, } FOR THE CURE OF : Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shqulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of.the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism +in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and ‘sickness; the bowels in gen. eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with g -dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There i generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left .undone something which ought to have been, done. A -slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility ; he lis easily startled; his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be heneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. -In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, iyet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. /AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLANE’Ss Liver PiLLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine; are productive of the most happy results. . No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. 'We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

THE CONDEMNED SENTINEL.'

A cold. stormy night in the month of March, 1807, Marshal Lefebvre, with 27,000 Freneh troops, had invested Daotzie. The city was garrisoned by 17,000 Russian und Prussian saldiers, and these, together with twenty or thirty ‘thousand well-armed ecitizens, presented nearly double the force which could be brought to the assault. So there was need of the utmost vigiJance on the part of the sentinels, for a desperate sortie from the garrison, made unawares, might prove calamitons; S

At midnight Jerome Dubois was placed uporr one of the most important posts in the advance line of pickets, it being upon a narrow strip of land raised above the marshy flat, called the Peninsula ot Nehrung. For more than an hour he paced his lonesome beat without hearing any thing more than the moaning of the wind and the driving of the rain. At length, however, another sound broke upon his ear. He stopped and listened, and presently he called: =~ S E

“Who's there ?” : ; The only answer was a moaning sound. [ - . He called again, and this time he heard something like the cry of a child, and pretty soon an object came before him out of the darkness. With a quick, emphatic movement he bro’t his musket to a charge, and ordered the intruder to halt.

“Mercy ! exclaimed a voice; “don’t shoot me! liam Natalie. Don’t you know me?” i

““Heavens!” cried Jerome, elevating the muzzle of his piece. *ls it you, dear child ?” b :

“Yes;iand you are good Jerome. Oh, you will come and help mamma! She is dying!” It was certainly Natalie, a little girl only eight, years old, daughter of Lisette Vaillant. Lisette was the wife of Pierre Vaillant, a Sergeant in Jerome’s own regiment, and was with the army as a nurse, . “Why, how is this. my child ?” said Jerome, taking ti® little one by the arm. “What is it about your mothel. ??! G5O i ¢ :

“Oh, good Jerome, you can hear her now. Hark!”? 5

Jerome bent his ear, but could hear only the wind and the rain. “Mamma is in the dreadful mud,” said the child, “and is dying. She is not far awdy. Oh, I can hear her cry‘lng.” . By degrees Jerome gathered from Nata.;ie that her father had taken her out with him in themorning, and that in the evening, when the storm came up, her mother came atter her. The Sergeant had offered to send a man back to the camp with his wife; but she preferred to return alone, feeling sure she would meet with no trouble. The way, however, had become dark and uncertain, and she had lost the path and wandered off to the edge of the morass, where she had sunk into the soft mud.

“Oh, Good Jerome,” cried the little one, seizing theman’s hand, “can’t you hear her? She will die if you do not come and help her.” L At that moment the sentinel fancied he heard the wail of the unfortu: nate woman. What should he do? Lasette, the good, the beautiful, the tender-hearted Lisette, was in mortal danger, and it was in his power to save her. It was not in his heart to withstand the pleadings of the child. He could go and rescue the nurse and return to .his post without detection. At all events, he could not refuse the childish pleader. ; “Give me your hand, Natalie. I’ll go 'with you.” - - With a cry of joy the child sprang to the soldier’s side; and when she had secured his hand she hurried him along toward the place where she had left her mother. It seemed a long distance to Jerome, and once he stopped as though he would turn back. He did not fear death; but he feared dishonor. , L “Hark!” uttered the child. A

The soldier listened, and plainly heard the voice of the suffering woman calling for help. .He hesitated no longer. On he hastened through the storm, and found Lisette sunk to her armpits in the soft morass. Fortunately a tuft of long grass had been within her reach, by which means she had held her head above the fatal mud. It was no easy matter to extricate her from the miry pit, as the workman had to .be very careful that he himselt did not lose his footing. At length, however, she was. drawn forth, anc Jerome led her toward his post. - : “Who comes there?’ cried a voice from the gloom. ,

“Heavens!” gasped Jerome,stopping and trembling all over. -

1“Who. comes there?’ repeated the voice. .

Jerome heard the click of a musket lock, and he knew another sentinel had been stationéd at the post he had left. 'The relief had come while he had been absent! e

“Friend with the countersign,” he answered Lo the last call of the new sentinel.

He was’ ordered to advance, and when he had given the countersign he found himself in the presence of the officer of the guard. In afew hurried words he told his story, and had the officer been alone he might have allowed the matter te rest where it was; but there were others present, and, when ordered togive up his musket, he obeyed without a murmur,and silently accompanied -the - officer to the camp, where hie was at once put IN-Trons: T el e B On the following mornirg Jerome Dubois was brought before a Courtmartial under charge of having deserted his post. He confessed that he was guilty, and thenc%%rmission was granted the sentinel to tell his own story. . :

This he did in a few words, but the | Court could do nothing but pass sentence of death; but the members thereof all signed a petition praying that Jerome Dubois might be pardoned; and this petition was sent to the General of the brigade, and through him to the General of the division, by whom it was indorsed, and sent up to the Marshal, ; : Lefebyre was kind and generous to his soldiers almost to a fault, but he could not overlook so grave an error as that which had béen committed by Dubois. The orders given to the sentinel had been very simple, and foremost, of very necessity, was the order forbidding him to leave his post until properly relieved. To acertain extént the safoty of the whole army rested “upen the shoulders of each individual | sentinel, and especially upon. those who at night was posted nearest the { lines of theememy, = i “I am sorry,” said the gray-haired ! old warrior, as he foldeg‘g; ghé‘pﬂ,ﬂé :

tion and handed it back to the officer who had presented it, “I am sure that Inan meant no wrong, and yet a great 'wrong was doné. He knew what he - was doing—he | ran the risk—he was detected—he has been tried and condemned. He must suffer!” - They asked Lefebvre if he would see the condemned. : © “No, no!” the Marshal cried, quickly. “Should I see him, and listen to ‘one-half his story, I might pardon thim; and that must not be done. Let ‘him die, that thousands may he saved thereby.” ! : The day fixed for the execution of Dubois was the morning succeeding the day of thetrial. The result of the interview with Marshal Lefebvre was made known to him, and he was not at all disappointed. He blamed no one, and was only sorry that he had not died upon the battle-field. “I have tried to be agood soldier,” he said to his Captain. “I feel that I have dene no crime that should leave i 4 stain upon my name.” The Captain took his hand and assured “him that his name shoeuld be 1 feld in respect. ;

Toward evening Pierre Vaillant, with his wife and child, were admitted, to see the prisoner. This was a visit which Jerome would gladly have dispensed with, as his feelings were already wrought up to a pitch that almost unmanned him; but he braced himself for the interview, and would have stood it like a hero had not little Natalie, in ‘the eagerness of her love ard gratitude, thrown herself upon his bosom and offered to die in his stead. This tipped the brimming cup, and his tears flowed freely. ~ Pierre and Lisette knew not what to do. They wept and they:prayed, and they would have willingly died for the noble fellow who had been thus condemned. :

Later in the evening came a companion who, if he lived, would at some time return to Jerome’s boyhood home. First the condemned thought of his. widowed mother, and he sent her a message of love and devotion. Then he thought of a brother and dark-eyed maid, whose vine-clad cot stood upon the banks of the Seine, one whom he had loved with a love such as ouly great hearts can feel. “Oh, my dear friend!” he cried, bowing his head upon his clasped hands, “you need not tell them a falsehood, but if the thing is possible, let them believe that I fell in battle.”

His companion promised that he would dp all he could, and if the truth could not be kept baek, it should be s 0 taithfully told that the name of Jerome ;“Dubois- should not bear disgrace in“thie minds of those who loved him in other days. Morning came, dull and gloomy, with driving sleet and snow; and at an early hour Jerome Dubois was led forth to meet his fate. The place of execution was fixed upon a low, barren spot toward the sea; and thither his divison was being marched to witness the fearful punishment. They had gained not more than half the distance - when the sound of some strange commotion broke out upon the wintry air, and very shortly an aid-de-camp came dashing to the side of the General of the brigade, with the erys i

A sortie! A sortie! The enemy ara out in force. Let this thing be stayed. The Marshall directs that you face about and advance upon the peninsulal”? 3 : g

In an instant all was changed in that division, and the Brigadier-Gen-eral wlio had temporary command thundered forth his orders for the countermarch. - The gloom was dissipated, and with glad hearts the soldiers turned from the thoughts of the execution of a brave comrade to the thoughts of meeting the enemy. “What shall we do with the prisoner?” asked the Sergeant who had charge of the guard. - ; “Liead him back fo the camp,” replied the Captain. S The direction was very simple, but the execution thereof was not to beso eagy, for hardly had the words escaped the Captain’s lips when a sqyadron of Prussian cavalry came dashing directly toward them. The division was quickly formed into four hollow squares, while the guard that held charge of the. priSoner found themselves forced to flee, | :

“In heaven’s name,” cried Jerome, “cut my bonds, and let me die like a soldier.” 0 Theé Sergeant quickly cut the cord that bound his elbows behind him, and then dashed toward the point where his own company was stationed. The rattle of the musketry had commenced, and, the Prussians were vainly endeavoring to break the squares of French troops. Jerdme Dubois looked about him for some weapon with which to arm himself, and presently he saw a Prusgian officer not.far off reeling in his saddle as though he had been wounded. With a quick bound he reached the spot, pulled the dying officer from his seat, and leaped into the empty saddle. - Dubois was fully resolved that he would sell his life on that day—sell it in behalf of France—and sell it as dearly as possible. But he was not needed, where he was, He knew that the Prussians could not break those hollow squares, as he rode away thinking to join the French cavalry, with whom he could rush into the deepest d;’anger. Supposing that the heaviest fighting must be upon the Nehrang, he rode his horse in the direction, and when.he reached it he found that he had not been mistaken. Upon a slight eminence towards Haglesberg the enemy had planted a battery of heavy guns, supported by two regiments of infantry; and already with shot: and shell immense damage had been done. = -~ el

Marshal Lefebvre rode up shortly after this battery had opened,and very quietly made up his mind that it must be taken at all hazards. -

“Take that battery,” he said to a Colonel of cavalry, “and the battle is ours.” . : ¢

Dubois heard the order, and saw the necessity. Here was-danger enough, surély; and determined to be first at the tatal battery, he kept as near to leader as he dared. Half the distance had been gained, when from the hill came a storm of jron that plowed into the ranks of the French. The Colonel fell, his body literally tofn to pieces by a shell'that exploded against his bosom. 3 ot - The point upon the peninsula now reaoched by the head of the assaulting column was not ‘more than a hundred yards wide; and it was literally a path of death, as the fire from twelve heavy guns was turned upon if. The Coloel had fallen, and very soon three other officers went dawmleav{i;s the advance withoyt a commissioned leader, The way was becoming blocked. up with dead men and dead

horses, and the head of the column stopped and wavered. e : Marshal Lefebvre, from his elevated place, saw this, and his heart throbbed painfully. If that column were routed, and the Russian infantry charged over the peninsula, the result might be cilamitous. : ‘But, see! A manin the uniform of a French private, mounted upon a powerful haorse, caparisoned in ithe trappings of a Prussian staff officer, with his head bare and a bright saber swinging in bis hand, rushes to the front and urges the column forward. His words are fierce and his look is dauntless. 2 :

“For France and for Lefebvre!” the strange horseman cries, waiving his sword aloft and pointing toward the battery. “The Marshal will weep if we lose the day!” The brave troopers, thus led by one who feared pot to dash forward where thefshot fell thickest, gavean answering shout and passed on, caring little for the reign of death so long as they had a lively leader to follow. Hoping that he might take the battery, and yet courting death, Jerome Dubois spurred on; ‘and finally the troops came upon the battery with irresistable force. i

It was not in the power of the cannonneers to withstand the shock, and the Russian infantry that came to their support were, swept away like chaff. The battery were quickly capltuled; and when the guns had been turned upon those who had shortly before been their masters, the fortune of the day was decided, the Russiang and the Prussians—horse, foot and dragoons—such as were not taken prisoners, made the best of their way back into Dantzic, having lost much more than they had gained. ¢ Jerome Dubois returned to the guard-house, and gave himself up, to the oflicer in charge. Firsta surgeon was called to dress several slight ‘wounds which he had received. Next his Colonel was called to see what should be done with him. The Colonel applied to the General of brigade, and the General of brigade applied to the General of division, and the General of division to Marshal Lefebvre. “What shall we dowith Jerome Dubois?” .

“God bless him!” cried the veteran General, who had heard the whole story; “I’ll pardon him to-day; and to-morrow I'll promote him!” Jerome Dubois, in time, went himself to see the loved ones in France; and when he went he wore the uniform of a Captain. :

Tfoney----What Is It? Look at it; little circular pieces of dingy copper, of shining silver, or gaudy gold. Can we eat it, or drink it, or make a ‘garment of it, or warm ourselves at its glitter? No; a handful of stones picked up by the wayside would answer these purposes as 'well. No; it is as hard and cold as the hearts of those who heap it up merely to gaze upon.it and count it in secret day by day, without a thought of making one fellow-creature the happier for their hoard. Money lying idle is like a man lying idie—lumber, only lumber. But now let us look around and see what it can do. when sent forth to work at the bidding of man, and we shall acknowledge a mighty magician; for who ¢an count the good and pleasantshapes in which it will return to its owner? Food, raiment and fire, and medicine, books, houses, horses, cattle, schools, ships, railroads, pictures, music, parks, gar--dens, museums; all that may help us to climb the hill of progress, to adorn this beautiful earth, or to multiply the graces of life. Money bears the good tidings of the Gospel message over land and sea, to soften savage hearts and draw closer to the bonds of wuniversal brotherhood. Money feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, heals the sick, strikes the fetters from the limbs of the slave. Money is knowledge, power, freedom, beauty.‘ ‘Why, then does St. Paul tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil? Alas! the reason is not far to seek. Turn your eyes from the sunny side of the mighty magician, and see the mighty shadow he casts upon the earth. Once more money has gone’ forth on man’s errand, and what are its transformations now ? - War, comquest, bloodshed, oppression, slavery, the gaming-table, the Dbetting-ring, drunkenness, and all their ghastly train. Behold it is the grab of the serpent, tempting the house-breaker and the murderer to their deadly deeds, lighting the gin palace in the city, filling the village ale-house, emptying the home fireside. Behold it severing the dearest ties of kindred and listen to it whispering the voter to betray a public trust, watch it luring men and women into unhallowed marriages wherein love has no part.

There are banks, churches, a school house, a newspaper, and good hotels. Many lawyers get a good income out of the extengive litigation over the title to mines.

How to Tell a Horse’s Age. [Prof. Goingin Spirit.of_the Times.]

A horse has forty teetl, composed of twelve incisors, four tushes, and ‘twenty-four molars, the mare has cor . ‘responding teeth; .except the tushes’ which are, in the female, 4lmost invariably absent, hence she has ‘only thirty-six. All teeth are.composed essentially of enamel, dentine ~and -crustopetrosa. A eurious but remarkable fact presents itself respecting the growth of horses’ teeth, which i not common to other animals, namely: that the teeth are growing “con‘tinually from their development -to the animal’s death. They are forced up from their sockets to supply-the. material removed by attrition. Tush€s are never shed; they make their appearance between the animal’s four and a half andfifth year, hence if they are just protruding we know, ‘without any confirmatory evidence, the horse’s age. Either at' birth, or from one to four days afterwards, the colt has four milk teeth called the. centrals. - Lrad e T

‘The lateral teeth appeat between four’ and six weeks after birth,- the corner teeth about the eighth month. The -centrals, or those which first made their appearance, are shed between two and a half and three years; the laterals are shed between three and a half and four years; the corner: teeth between ‘four and a half and five. About this time, or a little before the tushes are full grown, the animal is said, in horseman’s phraseolo- ‘ gy, to have a fall mouth. e

‘We come now te the important part of the subject, "where animal’s age is determined by the appearance of the black spots, or more correctly, the infundibulum. Thé infundibulum. or black marks, are worn out of the su--perior or smooth surface of the lower jaw at six years old, and that of the lateral are commencing to disappear, and is completed at the seventh. year, thus at this ‘age we fiid the wearing surface of both central and lateral inferior teeth smooth; the black marks having been worn away by attrition, and have entirely disappeared when | the animal becomes eight years old. The horse is no - considered “aged;” and no conscientious veterinary .sur-:} geon or horseman would positively assert the animal’s age, only approxi- . mately. Some people aver they can determine the exact age by signs other than the teeth, but such indications are unreliable. fE S

As the animal advances in age his teeth gradually grow longer, and appear to become more horizontal. The mouth which is five years old wascapshaped, now loses this .appearance and becomes elongated. .The teeth which. were, in the age last mentioned, nearly perpendicular, are. now slanting; and this process appears with advancing age. As a horse becomes old the enamel loses its. original beautiful whiteness, and assumes a cloudy or smoky yellow instead, and becomes striated with brown ‘and black marks, and the tushes infrequently drop. - wiAe S

Speak Gently. [Amber, in Home.]

If we could only keep the thought uppermost that perhaps the end of all trouble is at hand, that just ahead lies a portal a breath shall waft ajar, and on the other side lies home, I think we should bear life’s troubles better. Impatient words" and dark looks would never sadden the hearts. that love us did we oftener 'say ‘to ourselves “this is herhaps the last day.” OQur children would never cower from our uplifted hand, or turn weeping from the shadow in our eyes, could we remember that to-morrow may separate us from their clinging arms forever. How eager we should be to ill the hours’ with smiles and loving words and tender: service did we know that the little feet that made the music of our home to-morrow should trip into the grave and leave that home desolate. = IE N

| Mothers, remember this: There is surely to eome the one last day—the last hours we can overflow with sunshine, the last moments we can make beautiful with gentls ministrations, the last memories of love ant tenderness! Let this thought help us to bear with the muddy foot prints, the soiled and torn’garments, the diserdered rooms, the boisterous play. These of us who have seen loved ones disappear in the chill mist that enwraps the world; those of us who have kissed for the last time the patient unresponsive lips of one dearer to us than. life, or hope, or heaven perhaps, can tell you that the very “crown of sorrow,” when our dead are hidden from us, is: the remembrance of unkind - speech, or reckless injustice, or eruel impatience. We would barter the ‘hopes of earth and their brightest fruition for .one last day with them again., . Ley L ](R — e 3 A most remarkable ‘phenomenon has been developed in.the family of Michael Metzler, a hard-working plasterer of AKkron, Ohio. ‘Several days. since his famil’' moved into a brick house in the suburbs, near that portion of the city called “Hell’s Half Acre.” Shortly afterward some mem- | bers of the family began to be assaulted with small pebble-stones, hurled by invisible agents. These nearly al--ways hit some one of the family or some person in their presence. Over 150 pebbles have been picked up, yet so far there is no solution to the mystery. Father Brown, a German Catholic, was called in toexorcise the spir-: its, but after' concluding his services, a couple of the stones dropped at his feet, creating an astonishment in his clerical brain that has kept him in bewildermenc ever since; the stones are small pebbles, the largest not the size of a hen’s egg.
