r pill& t-OAP is manufactured from pure
A materials; and as it contains a large per*
erntage of Vegetine 01, is warrants fully
equal to the impor.ed Castile Soap, aud at
the same time contains all the washing and
clenstng properties of the celebrated Get man
and
French
Laundry Soaps.
It is therefore recoin
tnenied for use in the
Laundry, Kitchen & Bath Room,
and for general household purpo i e ;
also for Printers, Painters, Engineers,
and Machinists, as it will remove spots of iuk
Grease, Tar, Oil, Paint, etc , from the hands.
The Huntingdon Monitor of April 6th,
1877, pronounces thie Soap the best in the
market, as follows:
Readet, we don't want you to suppose
that this is ao advertisement, and pass it
over uuheeded. Read it. We want to direct
yottr attention to the advertisement of
Crampton's Impetiai Soap.'* Having used
it in sur office for the past year, we can re
commend it as the best tjualitv of susp in
use. It is a rare thing to get a Soap that will
thoroughly dense printing ink Irom the
hands, as also from linen; but Cfampion 1 -
laUndry soap will do it, and we know where
of we speak. It is especially adapted for
printers, painters, engineers and machinists,
as it will remove grease f all descriptions
from the hands as well aa clothes, with little
labor. For general household purpases it
canuot be excelled.

niud Wandering to Scenes
of tiaitle.
From the New Orleans Delta.
Grief, heartrending grief, was de
; pitted on the laces o( that bel 'ved
[ group around his bed, and as the oid
’ veteran gazed upon them, and ns enn
ciousness gradually faded from his
mi. and, a sob escaped his mum uriog
! lips, and a teat drop gathered in bis
parental eye. Si on (its vision became
j entirely obscured. The agonies ol
| duuth had taken possession of him
he was delirious. In the awful so
lemnity of the motnont, oblivious ol
all around him, he looked up und or
aered every window eh sed ‘hat the
rain might not be blown in and deluge
every thing. Then, altar a low mo
ments of silence, still unconscious, he
turned to someone near him and
said: ‘‘You will see the Judge, about
it; the case has not been decided prop
erly. I nsk for nothing but justice;
should I not have itPromised me to
attend to this matter, since I vsnuot
do it tny .elf.” Then his countenance
changed from a look of appeal to
oae ot stem command and deed de
termination Another sudden revolu
tion find taken place in his mind.—
He iniagned that he stood upon the
deck ol hi* gallant t hip on the high
seas propaiing fur battle. His ian |
guage c ear ly iudictted the great dan
ger ottd importance of the occasion.—
His commands Were quick, corapre- ■
bensive und positive. He conversed
with his office's near him on the ap
pearance ol the enemy, evidently pre
paring lor a decisive conflict, yet con
fidently awaiting the shock of battle
aud elated with tile conviction ol vic
tory. The charadeti.stic scene speed
ily passed away, and a short period of
return to consciousness lollowed, du
ring which the bravo A .miral, thor
oughly conscious that this, indeed,
was his last battle, calmly bade fare
wel. to each member ot his family.—
Death did not close his eyes or etop
Ins breath, however, ete he pronoun
ced his confidence in God, und his
hope and belief in salvation.

Prohaldv the odilest gonitis who

a member of a company raised in
Buc'isnan county. Four days rut his
gun was accidentally disdarg and, the
contents entering one ot his leg-.,
shattering a hone and disab’ing him.
One of ihe company, Win. Giorer,
was de ailed to remain with St* wort.
Grover wa died over his fiiend with
the care of a brothel 1 , and Sp Wart,
not then dreaming of his fu'ure dis
tinction, add, ‘‘Rill, * Id fellow, I’d pay
yon hack some day The time will

Ten years later, Bid Grover, the
lriend of Stewart, was arrested as a
participant in a political crime, tripd,
convicted, and sentenced to the peni
tentiary for ten year*. Not long alter
his conviction, S'eWart wa-nominated
for Governor. He saw his friend ju.t
before lie was incarcera od, and s..id,
“Bill, the fi st thing 1 do alter I’m in
augurated will he to pardon you out.
And I’m sure to be elected.’’.

Ti ere is said to be a young man
in the Missouri | enitentiary whose
pi.ents, at their death, left him a for
tune of $50,000. There is where l.is
part tits made a fatal mistake. If
they had taken the precaution to in
vest that sQin in a small dog, and
shot him, and then had simply left
the young man a jack plnina or a
wood saw, with piintod instructions
how to use it, the chances are that, in
stead of being in the penitentiary, he
would to-day have been gradually
hot surely wot king his way up *o a
handsome competency and honottible
old age. But ever einee the days ol
Adam and Jtive, patents have made it
a point u toil and struggle all their
ives in order to realize a sufficient
sum of money to pm chase, when they
are dead and gone, their sons e<ch a
first class through ticket to the devil,
and it is not much to bo wondered at
that so many of thoir soph, rented in
vice and idleness, as too many of
them often are, have no higher ambi
tion than to invest thoir inheritance in
just that sort of transputtation.
I The Cuthhert Appea' has the follow
ing account of a sad case of suicide:
“Our community was shocked on
Wednesday evening at the announce
ment that Mr. L. Oppenheimer was
found in a small room opposite his
market in a dying condition, he hav
ing taken an ounce of laudanum. —
Medical aid was immediately sum
moned, and everything done to save
the dying man, but to no avail, and
he breathed his last about eleven
o'clock that night. Wc are informed
the deceased has been in a gloomy,
depressed state of mind for several
weeks, occasioned, we understand,
from financial embarrassmentr, and
it is believed these embarrassments so
worksd upon him that be sought re
lief from the poisoned cup. Fie leaves
a wife and two children. His remain*
were eairied to Bufaula tor intermen?."
Rich Kerinon.
The follnwfn extract from n sermon
will he recognized at a glance by some
of our readers here at home, It loos
es much of its humor because we can
not put ih appiopriate gestures that
accompany it:
“My friends, sin makes the purticst
young tn-n in the world ugly-ah. And
I tell you how I know all. I wns coitk
ing up to church to-r’ay, when I saw
some inen in the rod-ah and thong! t
one of them tlio puniest yonng man I
ever raw in my lite-ah. And as I drew
nigh urno them, 1 discovered they
•veto ploying at tnuiVels, and they all
drew nigh *Bto a place whet they call-
ed tow and they niarve!l*d-ali. At and
when he marvelled hejumped tip and
flapped his hnnde like a rooster docs
his wings und says, “I wi-li I nty be
d— dif I hnin’t fat-all. And oh, my
friends, then 1 thought that he was
ti e ugliest man 1 over saw in my lit'e
ah. And I opened ruy mouth and
spake unto him thus; says I, “young
man, this is no! the way '.us. lvation.”
And lie said, “look here, old h< ss, if
you had been snlivateu as bad as I
was, you would not love to bear tulk
of salvation.”
And now, my friet.ds, if that man
said he wns fat he told a lie, for h
was lean as that hungry looking gib
tor over thar, fhat’s always praying
so piousy when tne hat is being
uassod arouud-ab.
And, nty friends, if that young man
had not been blinded by sin, be nev
er could a misUik me for au old hose

Vauceburg Ky., September 30.—Out
Criminal Court was opened by Judge
Sands in a eteditable style as reported
through your paper, but no busiue-s
wits transacted because Judge Sands
failed to sustain his judicial and per
sonal digni'y Theta was much bad
feeliug manifested at one time toward
the young and gifted Judge, until he
came into court uml said: “Gentlemen
and fellow-citizens, 1 appear before
you to say 1 am a victim to a vice
which has disgtaced ute heloto you
and my country. As I entered this
court room l hoard som i one sey,
‘there goes pretty timber to make a
Oiiininal Judge of.’ I feel that re
mark as steel through my heart,
for it is just. lam unworthy of the
high honor and trust you- have confer- 1
red upon one so young; at.d 1 rtlllrn
to you tlie office I h..vo lost, being
unworty of it. Patdon me, friends
and countrymen, but you sha'l bear
litre no longer. My judicial integrity
and official nets are b smeless. Tnnt.k
God, 1 am no longer Criminal Judge
of Lewis county. May heaven help
me in my affliction!” Such an elo
quent and feeing appeal was never
heard b fore. Prej idice was turned
to sympathy, and sympathy toe mpas

warm p ace in our hearts, and wo
hope he will return to us reformed.—

A correspondent recently wrote to
the Brandon (Miss.) Republican to
know the difference between a radical
and independent. Here is the an

name, and an indepedent is a republi
can who is ashamed of the name, and
who denies being a radical when talk
ing to democrats, but admits it when
talking to republicans. In other
words an independent is a cross be
tween a ini'an democrat and a mangy
republican, who cannot bs trusted by
either.”
