A SHAMEFUL SToRY.-The New
York Sun has terrible story of wrong.
Of two sisters in Maine, several years
ago, the younger was engaged to be
married after six months visit to an
aunt's near Boston, but while in that
city she mysteriously disappeared and
no other cause conld be assigned than
she had been betrayed and had sought
by suicide, or otherwise, 10 conceal
her shame and yet, no one among her
male acquaintance was suspected of
being the william, and the whole affair
was involved in such deep mystery
that the mother died of grief, and the
disappointed lover went insane.
The older sister came to live in
New York with her cousin, and there
married, as all thought very Fortunate
ly. A week or two since she was en-
tering her carriage with her husband,
when a poor bloated and degraded
young woman passed and asked f,r
aims. He gave her pittance when
she instantly recognized both, and
with shrek tainted. Although un-
recognize d by either of them, the wife
had her cared for, and during the
night watches learned her history, dis
covering in her own lost sister, and in
her husband the seducer who caused
her ruin. The exposure has caused q
separation, and the older sister has
devoted herself to the care of the 9TH
er sister. The guilty husband will
make no opposition to peaceful and
quiet divorce

ELoPEMENT.- Sunday quite
an excitement IT. the gossiping world
sprung up in consequence of an elope-
of the daughter of one Of the proprie-
tors of the American Hotel of this
place. Miss. Emma Thompson be-
came enamonred with her fathers bar
tender, Mr. Thomaa Runkle, a good
looking young man, who in few
short months had wooed and won the
fair Emma The attachment was dis
covered by the parents, who dissap-
proved of such a match, and he was
discharged from service but that did
no good, pen, ink and paper are cheap
aud trusty servants plenty so all
things of a preliminary nature were
negotiated through that channel, and
on Sunday morning Miss Emma, at
tired in her best, went to the Metho-
dist Church, and during the sermon
one of the officials of the Chnrch came
and whispered words in the ear of EN-
ma, and she forthwit!' left, followed
soon by her sister, who, when she got
to the street, found Emma getting in
TO carriage with the young man
whom her father had discarded. She
wanted to accompany them, but was
repulsed. The alarm was then given.
and = :alher started in pursuit, over
taking hem at Mount Holly, bnt too
late the fatal knot had been tied, and
Mr.. Thomas and Miss Emma were
one
Miss Emma always promised us an
invitation 10 her wedding, but owing
to the great haste, we will excuse her
May the choice she has taken prove
source of pleasure and comfort to
her aad her companion, and virtue
and religion guide their future steps

A Curious SCENE. Two young
woman who showed in their appear
ance and conduct evidence Ct a life
of debauchery, presented themselves
at The office of alderman Ogle, in
Philadelphia, on Wednesday, and sta
ted that they had come TO sware off
from drinking, as they had found that
it was continually bringing them into
tronble. For how long time do you
wish to abstain ~ asked the Alder
man. A discussion then arose be-
tween the fra.l ones as to the time
they thought their resolution would
hold good. One seemed TO think that
six months would not be long but the
other was fearful she could no. hold
ont longer than three months. The
latter period was finally agreed upon
and the oath was administered then
written off, enclosed in an envelope
and handed to each, whereupon they
left the Office and apparently well sat-
isfed at what they had done.

THRILLING SCENE RECOGNITION OF
A BODY Forty YEARS AFTER BURIAL.
Not many years since, certain miners
who were working ia. under ground
came upon the body of poor fellow
who had persisted in the suffo eating pit
40 years before. Some chemical agent
to which the body had been sbjected--
an agent prepared in the Laboratory OF
natnre-had effectively arrested the
progress of decay. They brought it
to the surface, and for while, till it
crumbled aw.y through the exposure
tothe atmosphere, it lay there the i'm
age of fine young man. No convul-
sion had passed over the face ia death
the features were tranquil; the hair
was jet black. No one recognized the
face generation had grown up since
the day on which the miner went
down his shaft for the last time.
But tottering old woman who
had hurried from her cot on hearing
the news, came up, she knew again the
face which through all these years she
had never quite forgotten The DOR
miner was to have been her husband
/ the day after that on which he died
They were rough people, OF course,
who were looking on-a liberal educa-
ton and refined feelings are not deem
ed essential to the man whose work is
to get up coal or even tin-but there
were no dry eyes when tho gray head
ed pilgrim cast herself on the youthful
corpse and poured ont to its deaf ear
many words Of endeGrmeht unused for
forty years. It was touching con-
trast-the one so old the other Young.
They had both been young these long
years ago, but time had gone on with
the living and stood still with the
dead .-Frase'''s Magazine.

was burning, ran out doors, afraid
that her mother would see it, when
the draft soon set her clothing into a
blaze, and her stomach to her chin
was terribly burned before her people
were aware of it and could extinguish
the flames. 1t is also supposed that
she inhaled the flames She fingered
along in great pain until Friday morn

GARTBALDI AT HoME.-The Movi-
mento of Genoa relates the following
curious anecdote When Garibaldi
arrived at Caprera, he was astonished
to find the appearance of the island
quite changed. Instead of the stony
desert he had left he saw before him
well cultivated fields and beautiful
plantatations, with shady groves and
spacious avenues. 1t looked as if a
magician had been there, and struck
the island with his wand, bidding ma
ture forthwith to lavish her treasures
on this chosen spot. But the General
was still further surprised when, in
stead of his humble cottage, an elegant
villa stood before him, on entering
which the mystery was soon explained
for 10 or the walls of fine large
hall hung the portrait of his friend
Victor Enamel, who had turned his
absence to account in order to prepare
this surprise for him.

The Presidents Proclamation.

A RECOMMENDATIONS Numerous ap.
pealS have been made to me by pious
and patriotic associations and citizens,
in view of the present distracted end
dangerous condition Of our coun ry,
to recommend that a day be set apart
for Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer
throughout the Union.
Tn compliance with their request
and my own sense of duty, | designate
Friday, the 4th of January, 1861, for
this purpose, and recommend that the
people assemble on that day, accor-
ding to their several forms of worship,
to keep it as solemn fast.
The Union of the States is at the
present moment threatened with alarm
ing and immediate danger; panic and
distress of fearful character prevail
throughout the land; our labcring
population are without employment,
and consequently depris ed Of the
means of earning their bread Indeed,
hope seems TO have deserted the minds
Of men. All classes are in state OF
confusion and dismay, and the wisest
councils of our best and purest men
are wholly disregarded.
In this the hour of our calamity and
peril TO whom shall we resort to for
relief but to the God of our fathers ?
His omnipotent arm only can save us
from the awful effects of our own
crimes and folles-our )wn ingrati-
tude and guilt towards our Heavenly
Father.
Let us then with deep contrition
and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling
ourselves before the Most High, in
our individual and national sins, and
in acknowledging the justice of our
punishment. Let us implorp him to
remove from our hearts the false pride
of opinion which would impel us to.
rersevere in wrong for the sake of
consistency, rather than yield just
submission to the unforeseen exigen-
cies by which we are now surrounded.
Let US with deep reverence beseech
Him to restore the friendship and
good will which prevailed in former
days among the people of the several
States and, above all, to save us
from the horrors of civil war and
"blood-guiltinese." Let our fervent
prayers ascend to His Throne that He
would not desert us in this the hour
Of our extreme peril, but remember US
IS He did our fathers in the darkest
days of the revolution, and preserve
cur Constitution and our Union, the
works of their hands for ages yet to
come.
An Omnipotent Providence may
overrule existing evils for permanent
good. He can make the wrath of
man to praise Him, and the remainder
of wrath he can restrain Let me in
woke every individual, in whatever
sphere of life he may be placed, to feel
personal responsibility to God and
his country for keeping this day holy,
and for contributing all his power to
remove our actual impending calami-
ties. JAMES BUCHANAN.

The OXygenated BitterS.

For years medical science had been taxed and
the skill of the physician exhausted in the hope
of discovering some remedy available to cure
that most distressing of all ACKNOWLEDGMENT
as we'll as its long train of evils under their va
rious names
No medicine eniaed which would speedily,
permanently, efectually, and radically cure and
expel these diseases from the system until DIR.
GREEN made known his discovery of
The Oxygenated Bitters.
Such is its remarkable power and popularity,
that cases which for years have baffied the most
potent medicine and the highest professional
skill, yield to this remedy as readily as if the
disease were but of days standing, For all
diseases Of the Stomach and Dioesttve organs.
and for General Debility it is equally salutary
and certain.

the lightest and most simple food without cans

had taken produced no favorable alteration in
the disease. l continued in this miserable con-
dition for several months, until brother-in

me bottle of the Oxygenated Bitters, with such
strong assurances of its virtues that was indu
ced to give it trial. / had not exhausted the
contents before the effect was quite visible, aud
gave sufficient encouragement to perseyere in
its use; and was in due season restored to
