Dir. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis,
Asthma, L-Fryngttis and all diseases of the throat
and lungs Iy medical Inhalation lately used in the
BrOnton Hospital, London. The great point in
the treatment of ali human mal4dies is to get at
tile disease in the direct manner. All medicines
are estimated by their action upon the organ re-
quring relief. This is the important fact upon
which Inhalation is based. II the stomach is d-
seased we take medicine directly into the stomach.
If the langs are diseased, breathe or inhale medi-
Gated vaporS directly into the lungs. Melicines
are the antdotes 10 disease and should be applied
to the very seat OF disease Inhalation IS the APP
plcation of this principle to the treatment of the
lungs for it gives us direct access to those intr
cate air cells and tubes which lie out of reach of
every other means of administering medicines
The reason that consumption, and other diseases
of the lungs, have heretofore resisted All treatment
has been because they had never been approached
in a direct manner by medicine. They were intend
ed to at upon the lungs and yet were applied to
the stomach. Their action was intended TO be To-
cal and vet they were administered that they

whilst the foul ulcers within tn lungs unmo-
Tested. Inhalation brings the medicine in direct
contact with the disease, without the disadvantage
of any violent action. Its application is SO SIM
pie that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. 1t dees not derange the sto

A Miser,s Prayer.

b The following singular prayer was
made by John Ward of Hackney
England. The document, which was
found in Wards own handwriting,
might be called the miser's prayer.
1t is one Of the examples on record
Of men combining in Themselves tho
utmost fanaticism with the total alb
sence af anything like feeling:
"Oh, Lord, thou knowest that / have
nine estates in the city OF London,
and likewise that l have lately pur-
chased an estate in fee-simple in the
county Of Essex; ! Ibeseech thee to pre-.
serve the two counties. of Middlesex
and Essex from fire and earthquakes;
and as lhave a mortgage in Hereford
shire, / beg Of thee to have an eye of
compassion on that county, aud for the
rest Of the counties thou mayest deal
with them as thou art pleased. Oh,
Lord, enable the banks to answer all
their bills and make my debts on good
men. Give prosperous voyage and
return to the Mermaid sloop, because
l have insured it; and as thou hast
said the days Of the wicked are but
short, | trust it thee that thou wilt not
forget thy promise, as l. have pur.
chased an estate in nreversion which will
be mine upon the death Of that profit. /.
gate young man, Sir |. L. Keep my
friends from sinking, and preserve me
from thieves and house breakers; and
make all my servants so honest and
faithful that they may attend to my
interests, aud never cheat me out Of
my property, NIGHT or day"

About GirI's Names.

If you are very precise man, and
wish to be certain of what you get,
never marry a girl named Ann; for
we have tho authority Of Lindley Muir
ray and others that "an is an indef-
mite article"
If you would like to have a wife
who is "one Of a thousandp you
should marry an Emily or Emma, for
any printer can tell you that GEMS"
arc always counted by thousands.
Ii you d. not wish to have bust
ling, Ay-about wife, you should not
marry one named Jenny; for every
cotton.spinner knows that jennis8 are
always on the go.
R.you want to marry Belle, it is
not necessary that you should be a
sexton, just because you have to ring
her at the altar.
If You marry one named Margaret,
you may fear for the manner that she
will end her days, for all the world
knows that pegs wero made for
hanging.
Ii you wish to srcceed in life as a
porter, you should marry Caroline,
and treat her very kindly; for so long
as you continue to do this you will DO
good to Garry.
| The most incessant writer in tho
world is he who is always bound to
Alkaline.
You may adore your wife, but you
will be surpassed in love when your
wife is a Dora.
Many men of high moral principles
and WHO would not gamble for the
world, still have not refused to take q

ISRAEL DONALDSON, last survivor of
the convention that framed the good
old Constitution of our State, arrived
in town yesterday morning, from his
residence in Adams county, and is
stopping at Mr.. r. Stuart's. Mr..
Donaldson is now 93 years of age, and
was one of that heroic and persever,
ing band of Pioneer Surveyors, com
posed OF Gen. Massie, Gov. Near,
thur, Mcdonald, the Beaslies, Lee,
| O'Bannon and others, who braved the
untold dangers of the North, Western
wilderness nearly seventy years ago
to lay the foundation of what has since
matured into vast empire Of popula,
tion and wealth. Over almost the
identical route. which the old Pioneer
travelled to this place yesterday, he
was carried a captive by the Indians
sixty seven years ago from the banks
ofthe Ohio to the shores of Lake Erie
He retains his faculties wonderfully
and we hope he will survive many
years, to witness the growth Of the
seeds of civilization he so courageous
Wy assisted in planting. '''

To Prevent Rats FTOm Under
mining CclEnr walls.

The stability ofcellar walls is some
times seriously affected by rats dig
,ging underneath them and thus weak
ening the foundation. In order to
prevent such injury, after the cellar
walls are completed and pointed, you
must did asmall trench inside of them
about one foot wide and half a foot
deep. Now fill this trench nearly full
Of small stones and water-lilne mortar
then cover the stones and morter with
tie earth taken from the trench. If
thus you guard the bottom of the walls,
you will find all the efforts of rats at
undermining to be utterly vain; they
will have to 60 to sneaking at the very
door Or hole by which they entered.
Some people say that rats from the
outside dig down under the wall, and
thus under the cellar; but this is
mistake. The fact is they enter the
cellar by the door or some hole; and
then fthis entrance is closed against
theln, they dig passage out under
the wall; and hence, when they en-
counter the stones and morter, they
are disheartened, and abandon the mn
dertaking. If plank close to the
wall should lie on the cellar bottom,
they will commence digging at the in
side edge, although it may he foot
or more from the wall. lfa quantity
of potatoes should be piled up in the
middle of the cellar, the rats will begin
to dig under the pile, or even under
the bottom of the chimney, perhaps
instinctively expecting thus to work
their way out. But to guard against
their digging operations cover your
cellar-bettom with a thick coating of
water.lime and sand, and the saucy
depredators won't trouble you any
more.-Rurqt american. 900.

From the Golden Prize.
THE JOURNEYMAN GENTLEMAN.
BY GEORGE A RNoLD.

Joe Conway was an odditv. He
especially delighted in mysteries, dis,
guises, unexpected denouements, in
trigues, and romance generally
Consequently, he was always getting
into very bad scrapes, and--superau-
ous assertion--there was always "a
lady in the case." v .g.r
This made him a bit of misogy-
nist--an amateur woman-hater.
Yet, for all that, he could not let the
sex alonel
A profound love of nature and dis
sipation, attracted Joe and myself to
the little village of D, on the
banks of that charming stream, the
Erehwon. We went to fish, to sketch,
to see the scenery, and to drink, for,
as Joe remarked, the waters Of the
Erehwon POSSESS peculiarly refreshing
qualities-when mixed with a little
cogniac.
The afternoon of the second day Of
our sojourn found us seated upon a
fower-spangled slope, skirted by will
lows, whose gnarled roots were bathed
in the pelucid Erehwon. We had
sought the spot, TO smoke, converse,
and digest our somewhat elaborate
dinner, in peace and quiet, with the
beauties Of nature before our ewes.
AS is very apt to be the case, when
two young men get together, our talk
was Of woman.
Womanl what an inexhaustible sub
iect for contemplation, conversation,
writing, oratory, painting, sculpture,
and matrimony!
SITS all CANNON" said Joe Con
way, "women don't appreciate cult
vation, intellect, nor good fellowship.
All they look for is wealth and posi-
tion, when they love. If they don't
find those amiable qualities, they
won't love, and if fellow hasn't got
them, he had better let the sex alone.
1t takes a gilded key to unlock their
precious little hearts. That's so"
"You are sadly mistaken, Joe" J"
said |, sand the worst of it is that you
know it. You are angry with the
husband-hunters who have given you
chase. and revenge yourself by damn
ing the whole institution of dimity.
You are wrong. A man like you.
young, rich, and-well, yes, without
flattering, l think l may say tolerably
good looking, has no chance. You
see only the designing ones, who are
bound to marry your bank account in
spite of yourself, and then play of
their charms upon you, ad nauSeuna. D
"But where are the artless ones
who don't want money-who are viii.
ling to sacrifice themselves, and all
that, for the sake of the tender pass
ion9"
"They are modest. The brazen-
faced tortune-hunters crowd about
you, and accustom you to being
sought. The really good girls require
seeking, and as that isn't in your line,
you never know how many nice wo-
men there are in the world"
"Pll tell You what I'll dol" cried
Joe, starting up suddenly, and hall
choking himself with mouthful ot
cigar smoke, "I'll test that question
I'll do it here in. this very place. I'l
turn mechanic, ignore my money and
my family, make up to the prettiest
proudest. girl in the village, and show
you that she won't marry me poor.--
Then I'll come out in my true colors
and show you thatmy cash is puissant
to do that which, my conversation and
requirements cannot begin to dol"
"What, marry hcri"
