D MANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schcnck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the litadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With this condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel. But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,” The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates aud assimilates with the food. Chylinoation is now nrogressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to he at hand. There is no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup conies in to perform its functions and to hasten and com nlete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot fie cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST, The second thing is, the patients must stay in a warm room until they get well : it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and rldi ng out, especially in this section of the eeuntrv in the winter season, arc all wrong. Physiciaas who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet ; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—be determined to get well. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago I was in the last stages of consumption ; confined to my tied, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre parations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fcvei, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in llesli ever since.” •‘I was weighed shortly after mv recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and for vears I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH." Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. 3 H. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged five dollars. The Itespiromcter declares the exac t condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether thev are curable or not. Tho directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a chilfl Follow these directons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ; the three medicines need no other accompani ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger is the most welcome symptom. Wheu it comes, as it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. 'Dg. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. A's a laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a propliylacteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of tlie Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man - Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. JOHN F. HENRY, EIGHT College Place.

FELTON, Guardian. One by One. They are gathering homeward from every land, One by one, As their weary feet touch the shining strand, One by one; Their brows are inclosed in a golden crown, Their travel-stained garments are all laid down, And, clothed with white raiments, they rest on the mead, Where the Lamb loveth His chosen to lead, One by one. Before they rest they passthrough the strife, One by one; Through the waters of death they enter life, One by one ; To some are the floods of the river still. As they ford their way to the heavenly hill; To others the waves run fiercely and wild, Yet all reach the homo of the undefiled, One by one. We too shall come to the river’s side, One by one; We are nearer its waters each even-tide, One by one; We can hear the noise and the dash of the stream, Now and again, through our life’s deep dream— Sometimes the floods o’er the banks o’erflow, Sometimes in ripples the small waves go, One by one. Jesus ! Redeemer ! we look to Thee, One by one; We lift up our voices tremblingly, One by one; The waves of the river are dark and cold, We know not the spots where our feet may hold, Thou, who didst pass through in deep mid night, Strengthen us, send us the staff and the light, One by one. Plant Thou Thy feet beside as we tread, One by one; On Thee let us lean each drooping head’ One by one; Let but Thy mighty arm round us be twined, We’ll cast all our fears and cares to the wind; Saviour! Redeemer! with Thee full in view, Smilingly, gladsomely, shall we pass through, One by one. An Evening Thought. The twilight falls, the night is near, I fold my work away, And kneel to one who bends to hear The story of the day. The old, old story; yet I kneel To tell it at Thy call; And the cares grow lighter as I feel The Father knows them all. Yes, all! the morning and the night, The joy, the grief, the lose, The roughened path, the sunbeam bright, The hourly thorn and cross. Thou knowest all—l lean my head, My weary eyelids close; Content and glad awhile to tread This path the Father knows. And he has loved me! All my heart With answering love is stirred; And every anguished pain and smart Finds healing in His word. So here I lay me down to rest, And nightly shadows fall, lean confiding on His breast Who knows and pities all. A Fish Story. Quite a novel mode of catching fish was invented, or at lest practiced, by a youth in Browstown, near the month of the creek, one day last week. He was, it seems, bathing, when he per ceived in the water a little way beyond him a fish of unusually large propor tions, swimming along within a very short distance of the bank, and rapid ly approaching him. As he saw the magnificent specimen of the sturgeon species, the thought of securing it without the usual implements flashed across his mind, and he determined to make one effort to secure the “mon arch of the lake.” As the fish approached the bank bn which Clark, (the name of the bather,) was standing, the latter prepared to dive, and before the sturgeon was quite opposite, the youth gave a leap, a plunge, and dived beneath the wa ter, and before the astonished sturgeon could either escape or recover from consternation caused by the sudden disturbance of the waters, and the subsequent demoralized condition oc casioned by ret. son of this, he was a prisoner in the arms of the youth, who could with difficulty retain his hold on his slippery customer. The struggles of the now desperate sturgeon were pertinacious, and nearly crowned with victory, though as he was pushed and driven toward the bank, where the wa ter was quite shallow, they became al most entirely ineffectual, and were rendered completely so by a compan ion of Clark’s who ran to his assist ance. Their united efforts soon com pleted the victory over his sturgeonship and laid him panting on the bank, a proof of the triumph of muscle. After resting awhile from the fatigue caused by the combat under the water, Clark, aided by his friend, carried the stur geon home, where it was weighed, turning the scale at just seventy pounds. Clark is only about fifteen years of age. —Detroit Pont, May 30. THE GREAT FEATURE OF TUE AOE. Unvoflinjfof theMome Statue at the Central Park, New York. Wonderful Powers of tlie Tele graph. The great scientific feature of the present age is the unveiling of the Morse statue at the Central Park in New York, on Saturday afternoon at four o’clock, which had been previous ly announced, and at which an im mense concourse of people from all parts of the country had assembled. The ceremonies of the occasion were grand, imposing and appropriate.— The representatives of telegraphy from every corner of the country in which this grand stroke of genius has pene trated, sought an opportunity to honor the great father of this greatest of all discoveries with their presence. The ceremony of unveiling was per formed by Governors Hcffman, of New York, and Claflin of Massachusetts, and Hon. William Orton, President of the Western Union Telegraph. The poet, Wm. Cullen Bryant, delivered the invocatoin address, and the Rev. Ste phen H. Tyng, D. D., the invocation prayer. A magnificent banquet was given in the evening at the Academy of Music, which was crowded to its utmost. A grand event was being celebrated.— The occasion was oue of profound in terest to the people of the world, and the grateful feelings of the universe were uttered by the orators of the oc casion, who had no light task in laying at the feet of the world’s benefactor the heartfelt gratitude of the intellectual world. At nine o’clock in tlie evening the great controlling genius, Professor S. F. B. Morse, with appropriate arrange ment, transmitted his greeting to the ends of creation as reached by tele graphy, through a female operator, Miss Marriott, as followa “Greeting and thanks to the Tele graph fraternity throughout the world. Glory to God in the highest; on earth peace, good will to men. (Signed) S. F. B. Morse.” Although the foregoing dispatch was manipulated by the lady operator as stated, Professor Morse signed his own name, and thousands of operators in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and, indeed, in every corner of the universe, as we have said, reached by the won derful magnetic principle in this hu manly modified form, were made to re joice in this personal communication with the parent of their art. The ceremonies of the occasion were concluded by Rev. Henry Ward Beech er in a prayer and benediction. Announcement. On the 17th day of May last, Mr. J. Henley Smith, of this city, a gentleman well-known as a thorough newspaper man, purchased an interest, and was placed in charge of the entire manage ment of The Sun. At that time it was resolved to make it a first-class paper in every respect; and since then nei ther labor nor experience have been spared to make it attractive and wor thy of public favor. What has already been done is only a small beginning—a mere earnest of what shall be done hereafter. Mr. Smith’s excellent management thus far shows that his reputation as a journalist is well deserved. This en tire control was trasferred to him with full confidence in his industry and ability to make The Sun such a paper as the people deserve. Thus far he has had, and hereafter shall have, mv undivided support in its general busi ness affairs. And I am most happy further to announce that Hon. Alexander H. Stephens has purchased an interest in The Sun, and from this day he is one of its proprietors and editors. The political department of the pa per will hereafter be under the advise ment, direction and general control of Mr. Stephens. His well-known past course in public affairs, marked at all times by prudence, firmness and mod eration in his devotion to the princi ples of Constitutional Liberty, is a sufficient guaranty as to the tone and temper with which this department of the paper will be conducted. A leading feature in it will be the inculcation of the doctrine that the essential principles of public liberty should never be forgotten, and that no lessons intended to open up the way to Centralism and Empire in this coun try should ever be learned. I t ke pleasure in saying further, that The Sun is amply supplied with money to carry out the programme agreed upon, to make it a leading and influential newspaper. The cash, rep resenting a large capitol stock, is ail paid up and now in bank. The splendid basis upori which the paper now stands, and its future pros pects, are matters of just pride to me. A. M.

R.,” we have had sol dier politics enough for one genera tion. “ The shoemaker to his last,” is a gtx>d maxim in President and Cab inet making, as it is elsewhere. Wo need statesmen to do statesmen’s work. When the toga yields to the sword, and force and slaughter are the ultima ratio in the maintenance of a principle, the soldier is needed. If the exigency of the times should par ticularly call for ft soldier who will butcher his own troops faster than ho does those of the enemy, then the hour and t.he man have mot in Ulys ses Grant. But there are times iu which the soldier and the statesman are found in one and the same man. The first Napoleon was a wonderful in stance in point. Alexander Hamilton in the post, and Bismark in the pres ent, are men who not only exhibited military talents in the intervals of their career as statesmen, but they have caused the world to believe that they had in them the stuff to make great captains, had they turned their studies to arms. All things being equal, and the “ let us have peace,” being settled as a real ity, and not as a false light to lure the country into a war in peace, we should greately prefer a sound, upright and incorruptible Democratic statesman as our next candidate for the Presidency. But we are not passing through a stage of ordinary political experience. The sword constantly flashes iu tire eyes of men above the dust of the civil political arena. There is a pervading feeling that this instrument of Presi dential arbitrament is already half drawn, and that the Congress has en couraged and empowered Ulysses to draw it full length and naked from its sheathe to settle the next Presidential battle in the last resort. Iu other words, that if the “Copperheads” ami the “Rebel” —thereby meaning the Democracy—should outvote mm at the polls, he will discover a “military ne cesity” to appeal to force to make him self his own successor, aud thus eavo to the country the inestimable fruits of the late war. In such a case, it would be uncomfortable to the De mocracy were they to find themselves with an elected President who was al together a civilian. He might be so very civil as to quail before the men aces of force, and thus a military dic tatar would have seized the Govern ment by the right of might—and so a long farwell to the Republic of the fathers, and every vestige of free insti tutions. Here would be a dilemma in which the Democracy would have need of a leader who was both soldier and statesman. We know of but one such man in the country who belongs to that side of the Potomac from which a candidate has to be taken. We need not mention the name of General W. S. Hancock for the render will already have anticipated it. He is the only soldier who graduated from the war on the Federal side with true and constitutional ideas of civil free dom. Nor did he tarry in making those ideas known and felt In the height of the high tide of intense sec tional bitterness, and in the seat of Phil. Sheridan, as Military Governor of Louisiana and Texas, he issued his famous order, No. 40, and thereby iu dellibly stamped his name as a states man, a patriot, and a lover of civil lib erty, on the history of his country.— His letter to Gov. Pease, of Texas, in reply to an appeal from that worthy, to let loose his troops upon the con quered people of Texas, soon followed this order, and that is another State paper that will live as a shining episode on the record of the darkest and gloom iest era this country had yet experi enced. We have before us a private letter from a distinguished New Jer sey Democrat, who thus speaks of his availability as a candidate : “ He combines more of the element necessary to success than auy man that has been named. He affords a locus penilentice for the disaffected Re publicans. As against Grant, he will carry off a large majority of the soldier vote, while his nomination will be per fectly satisfactory to the Democracy of the North. Os no other candidate can all these things bo said. In ad dition, no civilian can be elected that Grant, Morton & Cos. will not cheat out of his election. With Hancock, they would not dare make the attempt. We must look to success, and personal ambition mast give way to the exigen cies of the hour. There is reason for believing that Pennsylvania (his own State,) Maine and Vermont will be solid for him ; his chances are very good in Missouri, and I do not despair of reaching Ohio. Some of the lead ing men of the latter State lean that way.” If there is a prospect for a struggle after the Presidential votes are count ed, Hancock is the man. It was his corps in Virginia that Graut always ordered to the front when hard work was to be done ; and there was not a soldier in Lee’s army who was not a witness to his fighting qualities. But this is not all; his Louisiana adminis tration proved him a soldier of civil freedom. He is a Democrat iu ibo bargain, and on that score eminently fitted for a Democratic nomination.
