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 I>K. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. I)r. Schcnck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient viridity 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 citadel 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 Podophitlum Pclta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel. But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,’' Tlie 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 and assimilates with the food. Uhyliftcation is now progressing 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 conies the greatest Blood Purifier over yet given liy an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot he 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 riding out, especially in this section of the country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians 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 hear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—he 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 bed, 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 cautions 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 liings. 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, fevei, 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 flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added t-lie 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 1 have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Sehenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J 11. Schcnck, Jr., still continue to see pat ients at their office, No. 15 No rth 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 Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. Tlia directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these dircctons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to be 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. When it comes, as it will come, let tnc 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 arc gone forever. ‘Dr. Schenck’s medicines arc constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. Asa 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 prophylacterio against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and .Seaweed Tonic, $1,50 a bottle, or $7,59 a half dozen. Man drake Bills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists aud dealers. JOHN F. HENRY, EIGHT College Place.

Tiic Storm Ixmd howled the wind, the thunder roar’d, Fast dropped -he rain, or rather pom ’d, - Or rather yet in tor ents dashed, And al! Sitrtind the lightning flashed; 1 he su s, at 'twere, had fled Aom sight Foreve , on that awful night; The moon, it seemed, had never been, Or never more would e’er be seen; The Storm King ruled the dreadful hour. With unPontdolled and mighty power; His banne -slnack, we.a all nnfvuled, And ovc; -s« ead the frightened yroiUl; The night-bi "ds shrieked as by t : .iev past, Driven owawr. and by the racing blast; Tail tiees bowed low and moajed unheard, And savage beasts, by iuoi ,als tea ed, Weat howling heau'ong, sanely prest. All owned the Storm a King con’ess’d— The rich, Hie poo , the p oed, .be meek, The great the wise, the s. -or g, the weak, The eowa and, and the man ofboasfcs, All bowed in te ro • to his hosts; The stoutest heart beat strangely w : ld, And humbly prayed. “God save thy child. To Thee all honor we will give, Drive off the demon, let us Lve.” When, lo! behold! tho eastern sky, Os azure b'ue and orange dye— The sun was signing—sight sub'imo, Though old as lioary aged time. And cashing forth pale rays of light, Mysterious strange—as day in night, When bu-sting out in brighter rays, And sparkling, flashing, like ablaze, By which all nature seemed renewed; The trees, the birds, the flowers, when view’d Were doubly dyed," or tin ee.bld hired, Yet ail combined and was subdued. The red bird swinging on sweet briar, Was crimson, scarlet hue or fire; The wet green grass was twice as g. ecu. The modest violet scarcely seen; And peeping through the leaves between, A purer blue, calm and serene; The roses hanging on the stems, Were doubly decked with spa. klrirg gems, And bugle-flower and purp’e-beP, Had over-flowed and downward fe’l, Ambrosia, though, was on them stdl. And nectar soon their cups would fill; And saffroned-petaled lilies shone, Reflecting back a light their own, In pebly stream of Varying shade. As dancing on through evev-glade, To music which itself had made, Pleasing to all of every grade, With willows weeping o’er its brink, And clipping in its joys io dr’nk. And on its banks the eglantine, The honey-suckle, wild-wood-bine, And morning glories intei av nc, A bower for nymphs or raids fine, And butter-fPes or roaming bees, Or humm'ag-bi-ds, and swamp jorees: Perfumes weie mingled in the air, Os sweetest odors everywhere; And everything seemed pu: isled, The sweets of all intensified; The King of Sto-m, with mighty hand, Had touched it all w ith magic wand, And caused ail nature now' ,o seem. Like some enchanted Fairy’s dicam. AT. N. Tiic Burning of Columbia, S.C.— Wlio Did it? A writer in the Atlanta, Ga., Plan tation, writing over the signature of “11. A. A.,’, says: A few days ago I saw the announc ment of the sudden death cf Mr. T. 8- Nickerson, the former proprietor of Nickersons’s Hotel, at Columbia, S. C., and more recently in charge of the Screven House, Savannah. I saw this news with regret, as ho was warm hearted, amiable and benevolent man, and his aptitude for his profession was remarkable. I have heard it said that there were more men born to make good Presidents of the United States than there wore to be good hotel-keep ers. Mr. Nickerson certainly was one. During tho war, he kept the best house in the Confederate States, and although he was known to be a Union ist, yet his uniform kindness to our soldiers made him very popular. He accumulated an independent fortune, much of which was invested in his hotel. When Sherman was at Dalton, I happened to be in Columbia, and Mr. Nickerson asked me if I thought Siierman would ever reach Atlanta ? I replied, “Yes.” He then said: “Do you think he will get to Colum bia?” I replied: “If he ever passes Kcn nesaw Mountain, he will sweep over the country like the waters of a mill dam broke loose, and tho very point he will make for will be Columbia.” At this Mr. Niekerson looked con cerned, and he asked me, in a very earnest manner, what I would advise him to do, in such an event. Said I: “When Sherman gets here, make friends of the mammon of unright eousness; place your house, your hor ses, your wiucs, and everything else that you havf, at his disposal, and ask him to protect you. This is the only course for yon to persue. This may save you; I know of nothing else.” In due time Sherman reached Col umbia; the city was sacked and burn ed, and Nickerson, like everybody else, lost all he had. After the surrender, at Charlotte, I was returning home, and in passing through Columbia, call ed on Niekerson. He was living in a small house on the outskirt of what was once the city. He looked hag gard, and I may almost say despair ing. After bidding me welcome, he said: “Well, Colonel, I took your advice. When Sherman got hero, I turned over all I had to him and his staff. I wore myself down in waiting on them, aud at eight o’clock in the evening I went to my room and put on my slip pers and threw myself on the bed for a short nap. I had scarcely composed myself, when Issac, whom you knew well as my billiard-marker, came rush ing into my room and said to me: “Mr. Nickerson, you had better get Mrs. Nickerson out of this hotel; they are going to burn this town at nine o’clock !” He says he was so bewil dered that he simply remarked: “Groat God, no !” “Yes they are,” said Issac, “because I heard General Barnes and the offi cers say that the fire vvonld commence at nine o’clock, while I was waiting on them at supper.” Nickerson said the boy’s manner was so earnest, and his expression so indicative of alarm, that ho rushsd down stairs, and as he approached the office, he saw the staff officers exarni ing his horse blankets. “Great heav ens, gentleman, what does this mean?” They sueeringly replied: “We just thought we would appropriate those. ;is you will not need them any more.” He then went to Gen. Barnes and begged him to save his hoftse, which he agreed to do, and ordered a de tachment of men to be in readiness. Nickerson then commenced to collect all the blankets aud had thorn satur ated, and even procured an engine. Sure enough,, at 9 o’clock, the rock ets wont ap, and in ten minutes the whole city was in flames, aud thous and of poor women and children were running to and fro, shrieking and screaming in despair and alarm. Nickerson succeeded in preventing the flames from reaching his house for some time, until a band of soldiers came rushing into tho house and call ed for him to bring out a confederate flag which they had heard he had. “Bring it out, d—n you, or we will murder you.” He brought it out, and they tramped it under foot and then proceeded to cut the hose, and fire his house. He said: “In ten minutes more I was a ruin ed man. I stood bewildered and broken-spirited, looking upon the charred ruins of all that was left mo of a long life of energy and toil.” And yet Sherman says Hampton burned Columbia! A Singular Case* The followiug story showing the sa gacity of a dog, was related by the late Kov. Scott, D. D., the first pastor of the Mill Creek, Beaver county Presby terian Church. Long ago when peo ple crossed the mountains on foot or on horse back, Rev. Scott was coming to the thou far oil' west to preach. One day whilst in the mountains, he notic ed a large dog trotting along by the side of his horse. Supposing the dog lost, he requested the landlord where ho stopped next night to confine him in the morning until lie would be some miles ahead, hoping that he would go back to his owner. But before noon tho dog overtook him, and continued to trot along by his side until a very suspicious looking customer made his appearance in front cf the traveler, when tho dog at once attack ted the high-wayman aud so alarmed him that he protested that he meant no harm. Mr. Scott continued his journey, men tally determining that he would never part with his defender.

There is the soundest common sense in the following paragraph from the Manufacturer and Builder: Why is it that there is such a re pugnance on the part of parents to putting their sous to a trade ? A skill ed mechanic is an independent man. Go where he will his craft will bring him support. He need ask favors of none. He has literally his fortune in his own hands. YeJ, foolish parents— ambitious that their sons should “rise in the world” as they say—are more willing that they should study for a profession, with the chances of even moderate success heavily against them, or run the risk of spending their days in the ignoble task of retailing dry goods or of foiling at tho accountants desk, than learn a trade which gives them manly strength, health aud inde pendence. The Stars aud Stripes, The truly loyal preservers of the Union will talk to you by the hour about the glories of the “old flag,” and point to it as tho emblem of peace and forgiveness, and yet these same loyal ists are loud and lusty in their de mands that tho flag shall be placed at every precinct in tho South with efi cient bayonet backing to make the “rebels” vote the loyal ticket. If the Stars and Stripes be an emblem of “peace and forgiveness,” make it so practically. It is this looking one way and rowing another that has prevented a complete return of peace to every part of the Union. The Kogro lu the Tec-total Wood JPilc. Boston, September B. —The Nation al Divisions of tho Sons of Temperance has settled the question of colored membership, by tho adoption of the following preamble and resolutions: “ in the order of the Sons of Temperance, under the jurisdiction of National Division, we know no dis tinction on account of race, or color or former condition, but all are alike equal before the law; tbereforo “ Resolved, that, in our future action, we do not deem it expedient to organ ize separate bodies in the same terri tory, on account of any of the above namod distinctions.” & H. Smith <j- Cos., Pro/jrictoi x &%&f% 8 0 $ $ , Wo have cheering accounts fr on the Churches in all parts of the coun try. Scores and hundreds arc realiz ing that the Gospel of Christ is “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” What a glorious state of things would exist if “a knowledge of the glory of the Lord would cover the earth as the waters cover the channels of the great deep.” That happy time, we are assured, will come, and the prayer of every Chris tian's heart is, “May the Lord speed the day.” “llie fount of life shall then bo quaffed, In peace by all who come; And every wind that blows shall waft Some long lost exile home.” The Rev. Mr. Actou preached a most excellent sermon in the Presby terian Church, on last Monday night. The subject was, “The choice of Mo ses.” We do not supposo that there was one in that largo audience wild did not feel at tho close of the" ser mon, that “The choice of Moses” was a wise one. Dying in the Harness. The editor of the Richmond Chris tian Advocate was at a campmeeting in Loudon couuty, Va., when Mr. Ro bert White, of Georgetown, an old and highly esteemed member of tho Church was in attendance on Suudnv morning experience meeting. Os him the editor writes: After several had borne testimony to the grace of God in bringiug them to the knowledge of the truth, and keeping thorn in the way of salvation, he arose and spoke very nearly in those words: “Brethren, I feel that it is good to be here. I was born in old London, and I have come here to en joy this campmeeting with you. Thus far it has been a precious season to my soul. I have been engaged in this warfare for sixty years. During all that time God has kept* me by his power, and I trust I shall find grace and strength to endure to the end of tho warfare*” The moment he ceased speaking, brother Roude, one of tho preachers, and a sweet singer, struck up tho stanza: “Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die.” He had barely finished those two Hues when Mr. White fell from his seat and was caught in the arms of a brother who sat next to him. Ho was borne to a tent in an insensible state, and died a few moments after he was laid on the bed. He was in the 80th year of his age, aad those who new him best spoke of him as a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith! About midnight funeral services were held over his remains, and they wero then Lorno away to await the trumpet call of tho List uay. How sudden, and yofc how glorious was the death of this veteran of tho army of the Lord ! From tho midst of his brethrn on earth, to the midst of tho saints in heaven. Ihe stirring strains of tho grand battle-hymn had hardly died away be foie he hoard the “now song before the throne.” Tho morning of that Sabbath was beautiful and calm, and around the old saint wero hallowed memories of that day in the dim past of sixty years, when he gave his young heart to God, and there wero about him the sweet influences of prayer and song that bore his spirit upward to its eternal rest. Many die as suddenly, few as safely. Gambling for Church Purpose*. ' One of our exchanges gives the fol lowing extract fr mi an eastern paper illustrating the plea for lotteries in be half of good objects. Our Christain people, and especially our Christian ladies, say, “Our object is to do no harm in a lotterly for benevolent pur pose.” This reminds us of a little story in LijjpinouU: A doctor was called in to see a patient whose native drink was whisky. Water was pi-e --scribed as the only cure. Pat said it was out of the question, he never could drink it.. Then milk was proposed, and Pat agreed to get well on milk.— The doctor was soon summoned again. Near the bed on which the sick man lay was a table and on that table a bowl and in the bowl was milk, bnfc strongly flavored with whiskey. “What have you here,” said doctor.— ‘Milk, doctor; just what you orthered.’ T3ut there’s whiskey in it; I smell it’ ‘Well, doctor,’ sighed the patient, “there may be whiskey in it, but milk’s my object.” There may be sin in gambling but the otyecl is good ! Mis erable morality is that Haity and Unconscious. —Among the many scenes incident to the blow ing up of the Ocean Wave, we turn from those of a harrowing nature to note that of a little babe of about sev en months of age, who was found im mediately after the accident jammed in between two heavy beams kicking up its little heels and smiling amid the dreadful carnage, perfectly happy anu unconscious. In this condition it wan found by its agonizing mother, who was rushing frantically about, supposing her infant to be lost. NUMBER, u,
