TIE CHANGERS PREPARING FOR VIsI-
TING THE CENTENNIAL.-The Patrons
of Husbandry (Grangers) have leased a
tract of 40 acres ofland, with ample build
ings, at Elm station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, for their Centennial encampment
next year. The place is not more than
four miles from the Park, and is amply
supplied with water and shade. Buildings
are to be erected that will require 2,OOO,-
900 feet of lumber, for the accommodation
Of grangers and their families from all
parts of the United States. The design is
to furnish board and lodging at or near
cost price to all members of the order, thus
enabling them to avoid the high rate OF
living in the city while visiting the Centen-
ial. 1t is expected that this arrangement
will induce many thousands to attend .he
great Exposition who could not otherwise
do So The railroad company is extending
every facility to the project, and will run
trains 80 that q trip to the Centennial
grounds will be matter of only few
minutes and very trifing cost.

A LITTLE POEM OF THE OLDEN
TIME.

The following little poem was written ~
young lady in the ''olden time" and was founC
in an old scrap book a shert time ago. 1t cur
ried US back to the merry makings of that time
anG is very lifelike description of a quilting
We give it for the benefit of our lady readers:
TIE QUILTING.
The day is set, the ladies met,
And at the frame are seated,
In order placed, they work in haste,
To get the quilt completed:
While fingers fly, their tongues they ply,
And ANIMATE their labors,
By counting bcaux, discussing clothes,
Or talking of their reighbors.
'Dear what pretty frock you've on -
''Fm very glad you like it -
''1'm told that Miss Mscomicom
Don't speak to DIr. Micatc."
81 saw Miss Belle the other day,
Young Green's new gig adorning -
"What keeps-your sister Ann awayl'
''Shc went to town this morning.
'''Tis time to roll )" ''my needles broke
$50 Martins stock is sclling,''
LOulSd "euulnS gown 5 bespoke
''Lend me your scissors, Ellen"
THAT match will never come about"
Snow don't fly in passion,''
''Hair puff5 they say are going out,''
eyes, curls are all the fashion"
The guilt is done, the tea begun,
The Beaux are all collecting,
The tables cleared, the music's heard,
His partner each selecting.
The merry band in or stand,
The dance begins with vigor,
And rapid feet the measure beat,
And trip the may figure.
Unheeded fly, the minutes by,
''Od time'' itself is dancing,
Till nights dull eye is op'ed to spy
The light of morn advancing.
All closely slowed ; to each beau
The carriages go tilting;
All many a dream has for its theme
The pleasures of the quilting.

Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love Of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some Of the
evils produced.
THOUSANDS Of persons Of all ages can now

A CERTAIN DISEASE

When the misguided and Imprudent votary OF
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ul-timed sense of shame, dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befrienG
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as liberated sore throat, diseased nose. nOctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, f,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extreInities, pro-
crossing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate Of the mouth or the bones Of the nose fall
in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object Of commiseTation, till death puts
a period to-.his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to - that Undiscovered Country from whency
no trave er'returns."
II is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant unskillfui PRE-
TENDERS, who, By the use of that deadly Poi
son. Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
taonth after month taking their noxious or in
furious compounds, and instead of being restored
TO a renewal of Life Nigor and Happiness, in des-
pair leave him with ruined Health TO sigh over
his calling disappointment.
To such, therefore, DIR. JOHNSTON pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first il:
this country. VIZ: England, FRANCE, fnlldGcl pnl;i
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most Ger
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases Of imprudence.

A WIFE'S VIRTUoUs INDIGNATION.-C Catha.
rinc Coots, who is TAT and forty. and very en-
citabe. has husband who is little, old man.
rather tame and mild d,mlnnered, but not un'
gallant. Coots resolved to parade with the
colored people on Tuesday. His wife fixed
up his regalia in good style, and left him at
home dressing, while she hurried off with q
stock of snacks to sell to the paraders. Coots
dressed at leisure. He had the company OF
Mary L. GannaWay, who WaS employed as
servant by his wife, and therefore he was in
no hurry. When Catharine Coots returned
home that evening. weary with her la5ors,
she found out that Coos bad deyiated from
the strict path ofrectitude, and she Was indg-
nant. She got a good stout whip, advanced
upon Mary, accused her, and then commenced
giving her such whipping as was probably
never before known to Eer experience. In
vain Mary kicked, yelled, protested, and
entreated. Catharine was ineXorable, and
her onslaught was irresistible. Finally she
threw Mary to the ground, beat her with the
butt.end of the whip, knocked her with her
fists, and kicked her until some neighbors
came in and caused cessation of hostilities.
Mlry had just enough strength and spirit left
to crawl from the premises. Catbarine went
off and got warrant, charging Mary With
improper conduct. The meek-eyed Coots, the
pugnacious Catharine, the erriDg Mary, fol-
lowed by long line Of witnesses, appeared
before the Police Justice yesterday morning
and told their stories. In justification of her
attack upon Mary, Catherine said " Yer
Honor, was mon'sous mad, l vas" And
sue had the right to be. Nevertheless, having
taken the law into her own hands, she was
granted the privilege of paying - therefor,
and she and all the others we're then dis.
