Monstrous Mode Of Life

In the northern part Of Indiana county,
says the Johnstown, Pa Echo, resides
family, consisting of an old man, his wife,
and numerous progeny of children of
both genders. Their residence IS i log
cabin Of the poorest description. Ii has 4
chlmney-or, at least, a fire place and
the inventory of the goods and chaIIes Of
the household NAV be summed up thus
one COW, one bucket, one pot. The floor
OF the dwelling is of that description
known among the back woodsincn as pun
cheon; consisting of split logs laid side by
side, in drills made in the earth-the
split side forming the upper surface. THIS

pants. The old gentleman may be yeuer-
abIe-ior aught we know-or intelligent
Or handsome, but he dou't wear any clolA-
ing; neither does his-wlfe and, and we
blush TO say it, neither do their children.
All OF them are III complete state of nu-
dlty except one, that one IS the support OF
the family. He adopts the costume be-
fitting civilized and refined young man,
and goes out to service, the proceeds Of

with bundle of straw, which supplies i
bed for the family for the night and food
for the COW the next day. He can sell

over night, but ri he does, invariably
sleeps on the floor. The bed of the
family Is a hole beneath the floor. made
by scoopng out the earth. When the
weather IS cold, Goals from the fireplace
are scraped into it, and allowed to remain
until the earth is warmed, when they are
removed, and the family retire to rest

! China, he went over to the Philippians,
and by the aid of the good Monks Of the
/ Manila. explored its Businesses and volcanic
wonders. He was the first man to de-
scend into the great orator of Tael, lower
ed down two hundred feet over the brink,
by bamboo rope tied round his middle,
and brought back bottle fall of its sulphur
waters, burning off his boots in the lava
cinders. Leaving China, after a second
visit, in which he encountered shipwreck,
he passed TO India as physician of the
Dremendher Dagore, and was planquined
for some three months through the won
ders of its mountain architecture, the
ancient glories of Candy, the stupendous
passes OF the Ghaut country, visiting Mad
ras, Pondichery, and every spot that we
have read of in the trial Of Warren Hast
lngs. Next, TO Upper Egypt, and Abys-
snia, crossing the desert on his camel TO
the basis Of Jupiter Ammon, climbing at
break-neck risk to the stepstone of the
sounding COLOSSUS of Memnon, and ex-
ploring the tombs of the Pharoahs for
fortnight or three weeks, with Prof. Lep-
sius and his associates. Wrecked again
while passing the Nile, and wounded, in
an encounter near Alexandria, he pushed
across to Greece, and Gayerscd every
scene of classic interest, climbing TO the
Hippocrene Spring, and sleeping OH the
shore of Marathon. He returned by
Italy, France and England, only to rest a
few weeks, before cruise on the coast Of
Africa. Renewing here some acquan-
tances which had been formed in Brazil, he
was allowed TO inspectth entire machinery
of the slave-tradc, and TO pass up into the
interior, under the jirma1t Of Desouza, the
great intermediate between the chiefs of
the slaye-making districts and the Brazil
an carriers. The coast fever was his paw
for this trip, and he was sent home by
Commodore Read, inyalided. impericctly
patched up from the effects Of tins visit
alton, he volunteered for service with the
army in Mexico, and was ordered with de-
spatches, on daredevil race. through The
country our troops had left, 10 overlake
Gen. Scott. Awaiting himself, at Pcro,e,
of 4 mlscreant escort of Jall-blrds, that
Gen. Worth had employed as spy com
pany, he got into a series of fights, III
the last OF which he received the swords
of Gems. Gamma and Totryjon, and had
his horse killed under him, and was HIM
self desperately wounded, whilst protect
ing the lives of his prisoners against his
own men. Since then he has been
cruising, and practicing by ydrography on
the Coast Survey, up to the moment of
receiving his Geographic despatch, ac-
cepting his urgent protfer Of services for
the Arctic Expedition. He had the rice
fever in the Canton River, the plague in
Egypt, the yellow fever at Rio, the CON
gestiye at Pueba, and the African fever
on the coast. These and wounds, and an
organic disease of the heart, which he has
had from boyhood, have been his prep
arations for the hazards he IS encounterng
now.

MEMORY.


MEMORY.
Soft as the rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes Of low bells pea!ing,
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds Of night that moan.
Through the heath Ger mountain lone,
Come the thought of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbcams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light;
As the bells when fades the even
Peal not or the night:
As the night wind cease to sigh
When the RAIN falls from the sky,
Pass ;he thoughts Of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells gives sweet-voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Ger the mountains purple heath
But the path Is lost in death
He hath no memory.

honorable act if he had helped catch and

be tempted to do it for money, as they will
be tempted to do many things they know
ere base; but any hearty, cheerful, general
alscrity in obeying this Fugitive Slave
Law, there is not in the Free States, and
never can be. ETery one who dabbles in
it for office or moneys sake despises him
self and hates his tempter for the deed.
Then why not join in devising and enacting

ties cannot fail to engenderl Is there any

GEORGETOWN, Oct 1872 m.
One proof of the increasing prosperity of our
town may be seen in the fact that, although the
number Of dry goods and other stores on Bridge
street have been nearly doubled within few
years, the amount of goods brought in for the
fall trade, by our merchants in this locality, is
much heavier than we ever saw before.
During the week some 10000 lbs. of butter,
from wagons, have arrived, and met with ready
sales at $18@$20 per 100 Tbs.
DIR. George M. Sotheron sold yesterday to h.
s. T. Cissel, druggist, brick house and lot, on
the corner of Bridge and Congress streets, for
50, 900.
Several boats have arrived this morning and
yesterday afternoon, with large quantities OF
wheat, but owing to the inclemency OF the
weather, no sales have taken place. The market
remains firm at 93c. @95c. for yellow, and
higher for prime white. Corn, yellow, 64c. q
CSC. white, Goo. @62c. There was sale Of
cargo of oats this morning at &c.
The -four market remains firm at $4.25, and
higher as in quality The rain yesterday and
this morning prevented any transactions.
