Decoration Day Orders.

The following circular has been
sent out to the Grand Army Posts
in the State:
Headquarters Dept. OF Penna., &.
A. r., Philadelphia, May 9th, 1854.
There is nothing ephemeral IN all
Gods creation-the tiny blade OF
grass, the quivering leaf anu the
mountain rocks may change form,
bat they exist forever. The lives Of
our patriotic Comrades, like the
principles for which they died, are
understandable. The deeds good men
do live after them.
As a comfort to US, and to keep
bright in the hearts of the present
and rising generation, the lives, sac
rifices and sufierings of our country 5
defenders, the beautiful and sugges-
tive ceremonies of Memorial Day
have been established.
Sculptured marble and storied urn
are only appreciated as the evidence
of grateful hearts; not all our heroes
may have their history chiseled upon
marble, but it is possible to haYe
the deeds of every one who suffered
for liberty's sake, remember and re-
corded upon the hearts OF patriotic
people. In no way can this be more
surely effected, than by an earnest
participation in the solemn exercls-
es of the Both Of May. Comrades of
Penns lvania, it is our duty TO be
in the front rank in this noble work.
We go not only as mourner5 but as
instructors f; standing beneath the
old flag, we point to the heroic deeds
of those whose services and whose
sacrifices we commemorate.
That this work of love may he full
ly accomplished, every Sabbath and
public school, religious and civic
society and military organization in
the state is earnestly requested to
join in honoring our dead on Friday
May Both.
Let rs in the name of liberty and
patriotism, remember those whose
graves are unmarked and to which
no mOurner goes.
The leaders Of religious opinion
have given to our memorial ami
versary their cordial sanction and
thus associated the hallowed sent
ments of piety, with the tender du-
ties of patriotism. 1t is recommen-
ded that Posts on the Sabbath pre-
ceeding Memorial Day, attended a
place of public worship, and arrange
for the delivery of q sermon com
memorative of our fallen conrad es
and the canse for which they laid
down their lives.

A mother seal followed a schoon-
er which had captured her baby
along the coast of California for 50
miles. After the vessel reached
the wharf at Santa Barbara the
young seal was tied up in a jute
sack and left loose on the d, ok.
Soon after coming toanchor the seal
responded TO Its mothers call by
casting itself overheard, all tied up
as it was in the sack. The mother
seized the sack and tore it open with
her sharp teeth, and the reunited

Art In EoIIinS Mater.

There is great art in boiling water,
and there are few people know the
art. The secret is first, in having it
good and fresh, next in boiling it
quickly, and then taking it right off
for use In tea, coffee, or other drinks
before 1t is spoiled. To let It steam
and simmer and evaporate until the
good water is in the atmosphere, and
the lime, and iron, and dregs only
are left In the kettle is the way to
make people sick, and water 80
boiled Is worse than no water at all.
AS boiled water has become the
fashionable panacea for all the ills
that flesh is heir to. it is quite essen
tlal to follow the above directions.

New York, some few drops of lemon
IN this hot boiling water was sold at

WARNED IN A DREAM.
An extraordinary story is told in
English court circles, and has been
retailed by the Spiritualists, as to
The reasons which induced the
Queen at the last moment to alter
the arrangements for Prince Leo
pold's funeral. 1t is said that a
short time before his death, dancing
with an intimate friend, lady OF
Danish birth, ofgreat personal beau
ty. and the wife of an English peer,
he was rallied by her upon his un-
wonted abstraction. His answer was
that his sister Alice had come to him
| in the night, warned him OF an ap-
preaching calamity, and told HIM
not TO trouble, for all would soon be
well. The royal Duke, like his
mother, the Queen, seems to have
accepted supernatural yisitations as
real. and be told the lady he would
prefer, if anything happened to him
TO have a military funeral. Her
ladyship, the recipient OF these
condolences. wrote a letter to a nigh
court official, telling bim the story
and he laid her communication be-
fore her Majesty. At once the Queen
ordered her dead sons desires, ex'
pressed in life, to be fulfilled
Hence that change at the last mo
ment. which led to so much perplex'
itv and inconvenience.

Messrs. Hiscox 81 Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April

preparation will hereafter be simply
Porker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that IN

Out In Arizona.

Hon. A. W. Sheldon, Associate
Justice, Supreme Bench of Arizona
Territory, writes as follows: =" 1t af-
fords me great pleasure to say, from

know the scope of such has been
very extended. that St Jacobs Oil is
the great and wonderful conqueror
of pain, the sovereign cure for
all bodily aches and pains, and ]

Drifting.

We have seen a piece of W. BOD drift
ing down the current of winding
stream. Something it sailed free
from all entanglemen;s ana made a
fair and steady show. At others it
would be caught by some projection
of the banks and held in the lazy
waters. Amen, tumultuous wave
would drive it out to the farther
shore. and here swept round in the
eddying whirls ofthe rapids, it would
at last shoot down the dam breast
and be swallowed up in the foaming
vortex below.
We have seen some lives not un-
like the driftwood, and Of them it
may be truly said they are drifting"
Sometime borne on the bosom of
sweet communion, at others full OF
genuine intent to serve the Master ;
then caught by some ENHANCEMENT
of the world, now lifted up by the
noisy wave OF passion, swept into the
rapids and often whirled over gid
dy precipies to yawning depths.
Most of the sad mistakes in Chris
tian experience come from this hab-
it of drifting. They don't intend to
do wrong, no but they don't have a
strong intention, to do right, and
here is the great trouble. If we are
going on as though all the response
bility belonged to others and not to
ourselves. we cannot expect to steer
clear of failure. Some of the bitter
est heartpangs come to US because
we have drifted into sin, not inten-
tionally, but none the less with eyes
wide open. We made no effort to
avoid the evil either in word OF
deed. 1t is possible to live right
eously, but we must get out of the
fashion of taking it for granted. Il
the mind is found going upon evil
thoughts, arrest it at once. Other,
wise You will awake too late to FIND
yourself swallowed up in a course
from which there is no retreat.
Beware of drifting! drifting into
idle thoughts, drifting into idle
words into foolish expressions. int
wrong associations, into low plane
of self content, and into obscure Wis
ion of Christion obligations.-Rer
