The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of S J. GOLD, who has been SO long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it.

 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.

 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most efectual principle of Heating yet discovered.

 There are number of them now in operation in different parts of the coun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.

 The economy in the use of fuel and its heating capacity is truly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention.

 It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- ' ample warmth without injury tc health,"-to this new invention which probably will come into general use ir all our country homes, as we'll as in the homes of the wealthy who live iu the large cities and towns. It is subject of interest to all who have homes where health, comfort and pleasure are sought after.

 IAny person who may wish par ticulars about the size, price or descrip tion of the apparatus, or any informa tion whatever, are requested to call ant see one in operation, or address

FENhE lNVhNTOR WhO mas been actlVely engag A ed for the past twenty years in introducing to the public his several systems of Warming Build ings with Steam and Hot Water, by methods well known throughout the United States and Canadas, has, at the solicitation of numerous friends finally produced a more economical Heater, which em- bodies all the excellent qualities of Steam and Hot Water heat, with the simplicity of Hot Air Furnace construction.

 Notwithstanding the large sale and universal approval of "Gold's Steam and Water Heating Apparatus" its responsiveness. has impeded its general introduction and use. To remedy this de- feet has long been the study of the inventor, who is now satisfied that in this new Heater, he has secured the only plan whereby persons of moder ate means can enjoy in their homes the comfort of ample warmth without injury to health i; and that his new method meets a demand long

 felt. and must when we'll known, supersede all

 other Heaters. No one desires, if it be avoid ed, to put into his home heater which will ccr- | tainly impair the health of those who inhale the

 air vitiated by contact with highly heated surfaces

 All other Hot Air Furnaces heat the air too hot,

 because of the very limited amount of superficial l surface exposed to the fire, go that much of the

A TRUE HEART.-We clip the following
from the Cumberland (Md Ners: An affect
ing story is told in connection with the collision
on the ParkcrSburg branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on Saturday week Our
readers will remember that John Walker, the
fireman Of one Of the engines, was caught
between the " foot board Of the tender
and the hot wall Of the engine furnace, from
which position all efforts to rescue him were
unavailable The poor fellow, suffering the
most excruciating pam begged his companions
to Kill him rather than let him die in that
position, but finally became calmer and,
taking from his pocket small blank book and
pencil, wrote a farewell message to his wife,
who lives at PottsvilIe, Pa. The devotion of a
man in such fearful position as the one
described above must be very great to cause
him to forget his terrible agony, and impart
sufficient nerve and strength to his hand to in
dlte even the shortest farewell message to the
loved ones at home.

NEVER be cast down by trifles. If a
spider breaks his thread twenty times he
will mend it again. Make up your mind
to do thing, and you will do it. Fear
not if trouble come upon you; keep up
your spirits, though the day may be
dark one.


"Troubles never stop forever;


The darkest day will pass away"


If the sun goes down, look up at the
stars; if the earth is dark, keep your eyes
on Heaven.


Never despair when fog's in the air,


sunshiny morning comes without warning


Mind what you run after. Never be
contented with bubble that will burst,
or fireworl1 that ends in smoke or dark
ness. Get that which you can keep, and
which is worth keeping.


Something sterling that will stay,


When gold and silver pass away"


Fight hard against hasty temper.
Anger will come, but resist 1t stoutly. A
spark may set a house on fire. A fit of
passion may give you cause to mourn all
the days of your life.


'He that revenges knows no rest;


The meek possess peaceful breast"


If you have an enemy, act kindly to
him, and make him your friend. You
may not win him over at once, but try
again. Let one kindness be followed by
another, till you have accomplished your
end. Ry little and little great things are
accomplished.
"Water falling day by day
Wears the hardest rock away


And so oft repeated kindness will soften
a heart of stone.


Whatsoever you do do, it willingly.
O. A cheerful spirit gets on quick
Tumbler in the mud will stick"
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than
lions and tigers, for we can keep out of
the way of wild beasts, but bad thoughts
win their way everywhere. The cup
that is full will hold no more; keep your
head and heart full of good thoughts,
that bad thoughts may have no room to
enter.


"Be on your guard, and strive and pray,
To drive all wicked thoughts away"

A DEMOCRATS OPINION OF LUTTRELL.
A short time before the Marysvile Con-
vention we met with one of the most in
telligent and unflinchng Democrats in
this county. A few remarks about the
political situation passed, in which he
thus defined his position at was hard
for me to make up my mind to support
Horace, but believe he is an honest
man but it will be harder yet for me to
make up my mind to support Luttrell if
he should be nominated, for know he
is not safe on the railroad question. !"
We expressed no opinion and hurried
away. The public knows that in our
opinion Luttrel is not safe on any ques
ton. Not man we have met in this
county, no matter what his politics were,
has expressed the opinion that Luttrell was
the peer of Coghlan intellectually. If
the question was submitted now, without
regard to politics, which of the two men
ought to go TO Congress from this State,
Coghlan would beat Luttrell four to one
easy, and among those who know them
both ten 10 one. We are satisfied that
number of Democrats will not vote for
Luttrell because they know and despise
his style of politicians. Others will do
SO because he is a Democrat. The long
and the short of the whole matter is that
Coghan will get more votes than Lut-
trell and the people of this Congressional
District will have Il Representative who
will do them honor and be able to ad-
vance their interests at Washington.

GARRULOUS GREELEY AGAIN.

his election, will prove more disastrous

Swung around the circle"


Thus the sage advice he gave the Dem
ocrats at Lancaster that political par
ties flourish and pass away when they
have subserved the purposes for which
they were created" will doubtless be
taken in too liberal a sense for the hopes
of the philosopher. And when he con-
jures IAN Independent spirit which leads
men in their love of country to rise su-
perior to all prejudies of political ass6ci-
alton and all ties of party" he will prob
ably succeed in finding that spirit among
the late Democracy quite strong enough
to secure his defeat as the leader Of par

sible for that routine which the political
managers of every party pursue IN def
ance Of the option of candidates, and to
argue one-term principles from a stam-
pede Of subscribers from journal which
has politically sold out their interests and
become false pretense and fraud upon
them, is altogether too manifest wall
of despair and too sure an indication that
even the philosopher himself has again
lost faith in his own philosophy as he has
so often done in the past.


His false declarations several times re-
peated that portion of the rebels are
still disi'ranchised, when everybody of
intelligence knows that they are still
free to vote, and only about two hundred
rebels are debarred from holding office,
are either disgraceful to the high Presi-
dental candidacy, or must be taken in a
jocose or Pickwickian sense. Having
declared in the past that Democrats and
criminals are nearly Synonymous terms,
and that about all the criminals convicted
are Democrats, perhaps he refers to the
convicts in our State prison whom he is
desirous to be freed from thraldom and
Acknowledgement. For the sake of his
claims to honesty as well as his high can
didacy, it is perhaps only justice to give
him the benefit Of this explanation. 1t
will probably require, however, larger
vote than that of the disfranchised con-
yicts even in the State of New York to
give the philosopher its electoral vote. If

for sufficient length Of time, he will
