A Situation of Extreme Horror.

“I once,” save a celebrated writer, “read a most horrible story of some French travelers who attempted to explore the vaults of the Egyptian pyra raids, which revives some of those terrifying obstructions we sometimes meet with in disturbed dreams. These persons had already traversed an extensive labyrinth ot chambers and passages; they were on their return, and had arrived at the most difficult part of it—a very long and winding passage, forming a communication between two chambers; its opening narrow and low. The ruggedness of the floor, sides and roof rendered their progress slow and laborious, and these difficulties increased rapidly as they advanced. The torch with which they had entered became useless, from the impossibility of holding it unrigHt, as the passage diminished its height. Both its height and width, at length, however, became so much contracted that the party were compelled to erawl on their bellies. Their wanderings in these interminable passages (for such, in their fatigue ot body and mind, they deemed them) seemed to be endless. Their alarm was already great, and their patience exhausted, when the headmost of the party cried out that he could discern the light at the exit of the passage, at a considerable distance ahead, but that ■ f he could not advance any farther, and in his efforts to press on, in hopes to surmount the obstacle without complaining, he had squeezed himself so far into the reduced opening that he had now no longer sufficient strength even to recede! The situation of the whole party may be imagined; their terror was beyond the power of direction or advice; while the wretched leader, whether from terror or the natural effect of his situation, swelled so that if it was before difficult it was now impossible for him to stir from the spot he thus miserably occupied. One of the party at this dreadful and critical moment proposed, in the intense selfishness to which the feeling of vital danger reduces all. as the only means of escape from this horrible confinement—this living grave—to cut in pieces the wretched being who formed the obstruction, and clear it by, dragging the dismembered carcass piecemeal past them! He heard this dreadful proposal, and contracting himself with agony at the idea of this death was reduced by a strong muscular spasm to his usual dimensions, - and was dragged out, affording room for the party to squeeze themselves past over his prostrate body. The unhappy creature was suffocated in the effort, and was left behind a corpse.

The Doties Before Us.

Who that has lived and observed the history of our progress for the last fifty or sixty years can feel satisfied with the tendencies of the times ? What means the rapid growth of these powerful and evergrasping monopolies* Still gathering and. concentrating their forces and by their great wealth corrupting the fountains of legislation and controlling it to their own selfish purposes. If this thing is permitted to go on, how long will our liberties be safe* It has been our boast that the fabric of our Government securely rested upon the virtue and intelligence of our people. But what will virtue and intelligence among the masses of the people avail after they have permitted the legislative powers of the countrv to pass into the hands of a few monopolists* What can virtue and intelligence in poverty do against concentrated wealth * My virtue may be as pure and spotless as that of Cwsar’s wife; my intelligence may equal that of the most renowned sages, but lam poor. My neighbor may not know what the word virtue means, his intelligence may not rise much above that of Ute brute creation, but he has unbounded wealth, he owns all the_ land around him, even that on which I am permitted for a time to dwell. On account of his wealth he is courted and flattered; his will, his caprice and his passions, no matter how base, govern the neighborhood, in spite of my virtue and intelligence. If he wishes my character or influence destroyed, or even my life taken, all he has to do is to say so, and menial sycophants await with pleasure to do his bidding. Let the history of past ages and former governments teach us the danger and effects of concentrated wealth in the hands of a few. But all is not lost that is in danger. It is believed that all that is now needed to check the present dangerous tendency is aroused thought, concentrated, intelligent action against the intrenehments of the dangerous foe. While this is a work in which all good citizens, of no matter what calling or vocation, should and must engage, it is believed that the great agricultural class, the product of whose industry is the foundation of all wealth, is pre-eminently the one to take the lead in this general reform. They are fully equal in numbers to all the other industrial classes combined. Their productions are of paramount value to all others. They bear the greatest burden of taxation for the support of the Government. They suffer more from the ptamtorißfs and «wißdUap<<n<NKVO'

lies and petty robbers. They have It within their power tb do more in the Way of general reform than any other class, if not of all other classes combined. Now the question is, Will they do it! The system of organization and concentration that we have adopted will be a great help, an indispensable help, butthat alone will not do it. It is only the first step in thb right direction; a means through which we can bring our power to bear on the citadels of injustice and wrong. Our foes are strong, wily and well-disciplined veterans. They are already alarmed at our gathering forces, but laugh to scorn our yet raw and undisciplined recruits. They know that our cause is just, and with wise, prudent and courageous action we must succeed, and that our success means failure for them. Their hopes are predicated on the want of intelligence, harmony and unity of action among ourselves. Bnall we justify their faith! They labor to instill within our minds a want of confidence in each other, that dissensions and bickerings and factions shall spring up within our ranks, well knowing that, if these things occur, our strength will be broken and that we shall be as weak and helpless as before, and at their mercy still. And although we have already secured great benefits and substantial advantages in the very incipiency of our organization, the great battle has not yet commenced. As yet we have only skirmished a little with the advanced outposts of a powerful and strongly-intrenched enemy; only slightly aroused their suspicions and alarmed their fears. But as soon as they see that We are firmly united, harmonious and determined to move upon their works in solid phalanx, then look out for a struggle you have not yet dreamed of in all your philosophy, Horatio! But if we are true to our cause and to each other, the struggle, though severe, need not be a a protracted one Victory over bloated injustice and hoary wrong shall at last perch on our banners throughout the length and breadth of this land.— T. R. Allen, in St. Louis Republican.

Busby’s Iron Wedding.

Busby, of Trenton, celebrated his “ iron wedding” one day last week, and he invited about 130 guests to the wedding. 01 course each person felt compelled to bring a present of some kind, and each one did. When Mr. and Mrs. Smith came, they handed Busby a pair of flatirons. When Mr. and Mrs Jones arrived, they also had a pair of flatirons. All hands laughed at the coincidence. And there was even greater merriment when the Browns arrived with two pairs of flatirons. But when Mr. and Mrs. Robinson came in with another pair of flatirons the laughter became perfectly convulsive. There was, however,, something . less amusing about it when the Thompsons arrived with four flatirons wrapped in brown paper. And Busby’s face actually looked grave when the three Johnson girls were ushered into the parlor carry, ing a flatiron apiece. Each one of the succeeding sixty guests brought flatirons, and there was no break in the continuity until old Mr. Curry arrived from Philadelphia with a cast-iron cowbell. Now Busby had no earthly use for a cowbell, and, at any other time, he would have treated such a present with scorn. But now he was actually grateful to Mr. Curry, and he was about to embrace him when the Walsinghams came in with the new kind of double pointed flatirons with wooden handles. And all the rest of the guests brought the same articles, excepting Mr. Rugby, and he had with him a patent stand for holding flatirons. Busby got madder and madder every minute, and, by the time the company had all arrived, he was nearly insane with rage; jnd he went up to bed, leaving his wife to entertain the guests, in the morning they counted up the spoils, and found that they had 213 flatirons, one stand, and a cowbell. And now the Busbys have cut the Smiths, and Browns, and Johnsons, and the rest entirely, for they are cont inced that there was a preconcerted design to play a trick upon them. The fact, however, is, that the hardware store in the place had an overstock of flatirons, and sold them at an absurdly low figure, and Busby’s guests unanimously went for the cheapest thing they could find, as people always do on such occasions. Busby thinks he will not celebrate his “silver wedding.”—if az Adder.

Abuse of Old Horses.

A correspondent of an exchange says: I feel a deep sympathy for old horses. It is a common practice in this country to make old horses break the colts ana too often work with them for years. It is hard for an old horse to work with a colt or a young, active horse. Old horses, like old men, are often capable of performing more hard work than some young oues. who can beat them for an hour dr more. The old man wants to take a moderate jog, and can hold out all day; but a little immoderate exertion for a few minutes unstrings him perhaps all day. An old horse driven at the top of his speed for a few miles spoils the day’s journey. When once made sore or strained, the result is stiffness the next day. T'he old horse should not haul his load to town and then be forced to trot back. It does not injure him as much to do heavy work with slow motion as to do light jobs ut the, last gait. Again, the vid horse requires more time to eat his meals and rest his nerves. Of all animals the horse is the •worst abused. Although he has been cwr faithful and profitable servant, yet in his old age the lash is applied to force out his youthful vigor. The older he grows the more he feels the lash. He is often turned out doors to give place to the colts. Too often the neglect and abuse he is subject to, because he is a little old, result in a greater loss than is made up in 'he care of young horses. The last part of a horse’s life may be more profitable if rightly used than the first part. There is more comfort and less danger old horses. We. understand them and they understand us; and we should be willing to conform in some measure to their wishes. It would be more humane as well as profitable to use them as they should be and as long as it would pay, and then take them out and shoot them down. But the practice is to knock them about as much as they will bear to pay well, aqd then trade them off to some more inhuman wretch than ourselves. The old servant has gone among strangejrs, and he receives no sympathy in his last extremity, We do not blush to say that a man who has enjoyed the profits and pleasures of a good horse as long as he was profitable, and then shoves him, off among inhuman jockeys, is an inhuman, treacherous and suspicious friend. The man who does so without regard to how the horse may be cared for is, in my estimation, of a suspicious character; and I never see horses abused so as <o excite pity but my sympathies are directea to the man’s ‘ wife and children also, if he has them.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—A genuine corn-pone is made thudy: Corn meal and water mixed to a rather stiff batter, salted to taste, and baked well in a hot oven. ■ —Corn meal cakes fora morning dish: One quart sour milk; two or three eggs; a teaspoonful of saleratus, not heaped; two level full of salt. Mix thick with corn meal, and fry after steak, or in lard. —Light Cbm Bread.—Scald one quart white com meal with one quart hot water; then add half cup molasses, one teaspoonful salt and one quart cold water. Stir well, and add one quart meal, half pint yeast. Let rise in a warm place for ten hours, then stir well, put in the skillet and bake by the fireplace four hours. If you haven’t bop yeast add half pint saltrising yeast before putting to bake. —A Nice Omelet.— Beat two eggs, yolks and whites together, in a bowl, until very light. In a cup put one tablespoonful of corn starch; add slowly a half teaspoonful of milk (new milk is best); when well stirred and smooth, pour this over the eggs, and beat them all well together for a few minutes; a little chopped parsley can be added if wished. Cook as other omelets. In making any kind of omelet, salt and pepper should not be added until sent to table; and to have them perfectly light and tender the Ingredients must be well and quickly beaten with tjie fork. —Remedy for Bore Throat.—Take one large red pepper, such as are grown for family use; steep in half a pint of water, after which strain in a quart of molasses, adding a little vinegar; boil all together to a thin syrup; use this whenever the throat feels dry or disagreeable; if it be in dead of night it will soothe the throat (and not irritate) and warm it up well. If sharper than can be borne in the mouth, put it back near the palate with a spoon and swallow; apply outwardly a thin slice of salt pork, warming it up well in vinegar and pepper; apply as hot as can be borne on the throat.— Medical Journal. —Give Them Cold Water.—lt is very doubtful if there is a single possible disease in which the patient should not have cold water adlibitum. Oh, how the babes often suffer for cold water. A nursing babe is given, no mater how thirsty, noth’ ing but milk. The little lips are ary and cracked, and the little tongue so parched it can scarcely nurse, and yet it has nothing but milk to assuage its craving thirst. Try it yourself, mother, when you have a fever, and we are sure that ever after, when your darling is dying with thirst, the teaspoon and tumbler of cold water will be in constant use.— Exchange. Don’t Tamper with a Cold.—Perhaps in the whole category of diseases to which humanity is susceptible, the cough is most neglected in its early stage. A simple cough is generally regarded as a temporary affliction—unpleasant, and nothing more; but to those who have paid dearly for experience, it is the signal for attack for the most fearful of all diseases—Consumption. A cough will lead to consumption—if not checked—so sure as the rivulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enemy to thwart, if met by the proper remedy. Allen's Lung Balsam is the great cough remedy of the age, and it has earned its reputation by merit alone. Sold by all good druggists.

Where Does It Come From?

Pints and quarts of filthy catarrhal discharges. Where does it all come from? The mucous membrane, lining the chambers of the nose, and its littlg glands, are diseased, so that they draw from the blood its liquid and exposure to the air changes it into corruption. This life-liquid was to build up the system but it is extracted and the system is weakened by the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength by using Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which also acts directly upon these glands, correcting them, applying Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching the upper cavities where the discharge accumulates and comes from. CA TARRHOF-20 YEARS' STANDING CURED Monrob, Ouachita Parish, La., Sept. 15,1871. R. V. Pierce, M. D.: Sometime about last June I commenced the use of your medicines, and they have entirely cured me of Catarrh of twenty years’standing. Respectfully, Mrs. C. E. Phillips. Come, and Let Us Reason Together. —To the afflicted in body we offer a few words of plain, practical reasoning. No matter under what form of sickness you labor there is one great truth you should ever keep in mind, viz.: All disease originates in an impure condition of the blood. Purify that, and the disease 1111181 depart, for it has nothing to feed on; butyou cannot purify the blood by the use of poisonous drugs and exhaustive stimulants; the relief which these afford is temporary and deceptive, leaving you worse off at every interval. The best Blood Purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walker's Famous Vinegar Bitters, , compounded of simple herbs. No matter how hopeless your case may seem, try the Vinegar Bitters, and a few draughts will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Walker, the discoverer of this priceless remedy, had been given up to die by the physicians and is now a sound and healthy man from their use. - .■ - 7■. ■ 35 The Magic Inkstand.—Millions of these valuable articles have been sold in Europe, and since their introduction into this country the demand has been equal to the supply.

|Sg <7 /SR J A ihuXnilllllifrß Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges oi the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almosi daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters?” Our answer is. that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle a perfect Renovator and Invigoratoi of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bittbrs in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. Thej are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or InflammAtion of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Biliour Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bittbrs are Aperient, Diaphoretic. Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera live, and Anti-Bilious. ’ - Grateful Thousands proclaim Vis. egar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. A/ No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or othei means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

Bilions. Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas. Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout oui entire country during the Summer and Auturpn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver and other abdominal viscera. In theii treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic pan take hold of a system thus lore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a Ikindredother painful sympare the ollspi’ings of Dyspepsia iZT will prove a better guarantee” of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofhla, .or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck. Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittentanillhtermittent Fevers, Diseases ol the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such ar Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, ano Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vin egar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Kheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples. Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms. Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitidß will free the system from wormslike these Bitters. For Female Complaints, inyoung or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Toni< Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting througi the skin in -Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores cleanse it when you find it obstructed am sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it » foul; your feelings will tell you when.
