A REMINIsCENCE.--In the month OF Feb
ruary, 1861, says the Johnstown Tribune,
when the mutterings Of the coming civil
strife were borne to the North upon every
Southern breeze, and two months before
the bursting Of the war cloud at Sumpter,
the writer of this met John W. Geary,
then a farmer of Westmoreland county, at
Ebensburg, and had the pleasure OF spend
ing an evening in his room. In the course
of a long conversation the approaching
war was mentioned We shall never for
get the earnestness with which Colonel
Geary, then Douglas Democrat, spoke oil
that most anxious and exciting SUBJECT
He said that Abraham Lincoln had been
fairly elected to the highest office in the
gift of the people that the South had no
cause for attempting to dissolve the Union;
and that, if all efforts at conciliation should
fail, he would take his boy and enter the
military service of his country, IN defence
of the Union, the Constitution and laws.
How we'll he kept his word all his country
men know. His brave boy fell in the
Southwest, pierced by rebel bullet, and
John w. Geary himself bears upon his per
son to-day the scars of a severe wound re-
ceived on one Of the hardest fought battle
fields of Virginia. How much his example
aided in rallying the Democratic party Of
1861 around the old flag needs not to be
told. The country can never honor too
much those prominent leaders of the old
Democratic party--the Buffers, the Logans,
the Gearys who, in the darkest hour Of
our country's history, threw the weight Of
their example and their influence into the
scale in behalf of the pOblest cause that
ever enlisted the hearts and valor Of men.

TAKEN AT HIS WoRD-A few years ago,
says the Schenectady Sun, when it was
the custom of large girls and larger boys
to attend district schools, an incident took
place in neighboring town which is worth
recording. One of the fairest and plump
est girls OF the school happened to violate
one of the teachers rules The master,
prompt, energetic fellow of twenty-five,
summoned her into the middle Of the floor.
After interrogating the girl for few mo-
ments, he thundered out :-"Will you give
me your hand ?" eyes, sir and my heart
too" promptly responded the girl, at the
same time stretching forth her nand to the
master, and eying him with cunning look
A death-like silence reigned for moment
in the school a tear was seen to glisten
in the masters eye ; the ruler was laid up
on the desk, and the blushing girl was re-
quested to take her seat but to remain af-
ter the school was dismissed. In three
weeks after the school was finished, the
teacher and girl were married.

Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that it is lundig-
nifed to advertise remedy, however val
liable it may be. Queer reasoning this. 1t
is like saying that an article which the
world needs Should be hid in cornef1z
that benefits and blessings nay be too wide
ly diffus ed-that the means Of protecting
and restoring health should be close mo
nopoly, and not accessible to all. The
argument is bad It's worse than that; it
is iahuman, Suppose HOSTETTERlS
STOMACH BITTERS AN absolute specific
for dyspepsia, biliousness and nervous
debility - had never been known beyond
the repertoire of the faculty, what would
have been the consequence? = Instead of
curing and invigorating millions, the good
effect of the preparation would have been
confined to comparative few. There is
the highest authority for saying thatlight
should not be- hid under a cbushel; that
whatever is excellent should be placed as a
city on hill, where all men can take cog
nizance of it. It is upon this principle
that the BITTERS have been advertised and
continue to be advertised in every newspa-
per Of any prominence in the western hem
isphere, andthat the spontaneous testimoni-
ais in its favor have been translated into
all written languages. Thousands enjoy
perfect health to-day who would be Ian
gushing on beds of sickness if the newspa-
pers had not spread tie ruth IN regard to this
unequaJed inoigorant and correctiue far and
wide. Suppose profit has been reaped by
this publicity. Is that any argument
against it If the public health had been
protected; if lives have been saved; if the
feeble have been strengthened, and the sick
restored, great good hos been accomplished;
and who so mean assto grudge to exertions
thus directed their fair reward? = -

A Massachusetts paper company is
dividing one hundred per cent. out of the
profits made from newspaper publishers.
The price of paper is too high. The Boston
Transcript is now printed on paper imported
from England It is significant comment
on the manufacturers in this country that
paper can be imported at a saving to con-
sumers. The proprietor Of L1oyds Neacs-
PAPER, in London, has just imported two
hundred and seventy tons of Esparto grass
from Algeria for the manufacture of paper
for that journal. The cost Of this kind Of
paper is one-half that of linen fabric.
There was recently quite lively scene
in the New Haven depot The 10:30A. NJ
mail train had just arrived from New York,
and while the trunks were being taken from
the baggage car, Master Searles discovered
that one Of them was on fire. Very FORUM
ately he had key about his person, which
fitted the lock. When the trunk was
opened, the clothes were found to be burn
ing rapidly, and after searching for the
cause Of this singular accident, bottle of
phosphorus was. found among the clothing,
which had ignited. The trunk proved to
be the property of newly married couple
on their wedding trip. ....s ,,,,r 81. ,.s4-a

BLEEDING FROM THE NosE.-Some two
years ago. while going down Broadway, in
New York, blood commenced running from
my nose quite freely. 1 stepped aside and
applied my handkerchief, intending to re-
pair to the nearest hotel, when gentleman
accosted me, saying, ''Just put a piece of
paper in your mouth, chew it rapidly, and
it will stop your nose bleeding" Thanking
him rather doubtfully, did as he suggested,
and the flow of blood ceased almost imme-
diately. 1 have seen the remedy tried since
quite frequently, and always with success.
Doubtless any substance would answer the
same purpose as paper, the stoppage of the
flow Of blood being caused doubtless by the
rapid motion of the. jaws, and the counter
action of muscles and arteries connecting
the jaws and nose. Physicians state that
placing small roll Of paper or muslin
above the front teeth, under the upper lip,
and pressing hard on the same, will arrest
bleeding from the nose-checking the pas
sage Of blood through the arteries leading
to the nose.-H. G. K in Scientific american.

The "local" of the Cincinnati Times
was lately presented with sample of some
body's sspatent deodorizing compound and
instantaneous cholera disinfeotant," ac-
companied with a request to favorably
notice. He noticed it the moment he smelt
it, and thus relates the result on taking it
home, and the laughter it has raised has
probably done more good than the deodor
izer spoken Of:
Didn't wish to terrify the family by the
ostentatious display of cholera precautions
of an extraordinary nature, so we took our
patent deodorizer home secretly concealed
under our coat. Terrible commotion In the
street car. The windows were thrown up
hastily, handkerchiefs applied furiously TO
noses, and g general application of csmphor
gum, of which each one had a supply in his
pocket. Profane fellows swore at the Board
of Health for not cleaning the streets. One
was sure it was in the cutters; another
thought it was in the air; topper, half
drunk, said he was satisfied it was in the

him if he has ever met in his journeyings

eye and intelligent face, shorn of his fair
proportions, having lost both legs just
above the knee, making seemingly pain

as stills, his hands protected by leather
gloves, wearing short, dirty-looking jack

pathy being excited by the old mans ap-

gratuity upon the, as he supposes, deserv-

the other day that the fellow was rich.
That "fellow" is Joseph Epstein. Strangers
visiting the city and meeting Joseph, who
in his perigrinations does not avoid the
places where they congregate, generally
have their hearts moved to pity and their
pursestrings loosened at sight Of SO much,
as they think, suffering. It is different
