M) TIME LIKE THE OLD TI.MK. BY O. W. HOLMES. There is no time like the old. When you and I were young, Whn the buds of Apr!' blossomed. Aud the birds of spring-time Bung . The garden's brightest glories By summer suns are nursed. But oh. the sweet, sweet violets. The flowers that open first. There is no place like the old place, Where you and I T pre born, Wtiore we lifted first our eyelids On the spieudor of the morn. From the milk-white breast that warmed nst From the clinging arms that bore, Where t he dear eye glistened o-er us, That will look on us no more. There is no friend Wiethe old friend That has shared our morning days. So greeting like his welcome, f No homage like bis praise ; Fame is the scenties sun-flower. With gaudy crown of gold ; r.nt friendship is the brea'hing rose. With sweets in every fold. a There is no love like the old love That we courted i.i our pride : Though our leaves are failing, falling, And we re f idim" side by side ; There aie blossom all around ns. With the colors of our dawn. And we live in borrowed sunshine When the light of day is gone. There are no times like the old times They shall never lie forgot ! There is no place like the old place- K sep green the dear old spot ! There are no friends like our old friends May l eaven prolong their lives! There are no loves like eur old loves God bless our loving wives ! THAT POCKET-BOOK. It was the Rev. Alfred Pennywise, and be had just flattered from the chrysalis state of theological student into the condition of clergyman. He was a very good young man ; but, per haps, he thought himself even better than he was. In his secret heart he was quite cei-tain that there were no temptations to which the Rev. Alfred Pennywise could succumb, and he very much despised any one with whom any temptation had any weight. I know you will forgive me, Mr. Pennywise, for telling you this story. You told it to me doubtless for my in struction, and I should -fail in my mis sion if I did not attempt to instruct others therewith also. Besides, who will guess that it is you ? For I can didly confess you have another name than the one I choose to call you by. If I said it is the Rev. Alfred Pennywise, I should describe quite another man ; but it was the Rev. Alfred Pennywise, and it was a long while ago. And he was a slim young man, with more gold in his hair than in his pocket, and he was on the way to spend his summer vacation at the country place hallowed by the presence of the object of his af fection Miss Annie Snow. He had been paid what his congrega tion chose to consider an adequate quarter's salary. It was not much to begin with, and then there had been certain bills to be paid, and the small sum dwindled down to a smaller still. By close economy he could spend four weeks at Hope's Corners, at the cheapest little hotel there ; and he might even in dulge in the awful extravagance of hir ing a boat, wherein to row his lady-love up and down the river, and into nooks and crannies where the water-lilies grew, and might, perhaps, go with her to a church picnic, and regale her with strawberries. Nay, he would do this, j he vowed to himself, if he did without I his dinner for a month afterward. He loved this little Annie Snow very i much, and he thought her very good j and very beautiful indeed ; but he j could not help indulging in a pleasant , little bit of vanity as he thought about himself. He certainly was a very good : young man very good, indeed. He was about as good as youn g" men were made just about. And this came into his mind as he stepped into the train to Hope's Corners, and saw two young men drinking something at the bar of the hotel, and another young man smoking on the steps. He never drank ; he never smoked ; ah ! and he could not have been entrapped into a flirtation with that saucy girl leaning over the garden pal ings, as the young man in the gray business-suit evidently was. No ; he was certainly a remarkably good young man. He took his seat and looked at the prospect as the cars flew out of the de pot. He had plenty of room for him self and his traveling-bag. The seat was en the shady side of the car. It was very pleasant. But this is a world of change. At the very first station all this comfort vanished. A crowd of people hurried in. The seats were crammed. Mr. Pennywise found it necessary to hoist his bag into the re ceptacle over his head, and to ' make room," pesr order of the conductor, for a large-boned, middle-aged woman, with a flat hand-basket redolent of onions (Mr. Pennywise hated onions) and a small child with a piece of molasses taffy in its blessed little fingers. Yes ; and no sooner was this female seated than she turned to him, and re marked, in an injured tone : " I'd like that window closed, if you please, for Jane Maria hasn't been well of the measles quite a week, and I should think anybody would have more consideration. " Mr. Pennywise shut the window, of course. He had never had the measles himself, and he looked about him for another seat, but there was none. The car was jammed. Most of the windows were shut. It was close and un pleasant. The vapor of human breath began to coat the panes. The smell o various lunches was painfully percepti, ble. The invalid Jane Maria jerked and fidgeted, and wiped her sticky fingers on the new and precious coat of poor Sir. Pennywise, and the train turned a corner, and the glare of the sun swept across his face and into his eyes. Naturally the pleasant mood which had been upon the young clergyman took flight amidst this discomfort. He began to think what a wicked world this was, and what a sorrowful one too, and how long it would be before he could marry his little Annie Snow, and how he might never marry her at all. He looked at the candy-eating child and felt sure it would grow up very wicked. There was a great deal of original sin in its face a great deal. Then he wandered back to himself. What a hard life it was, to be sure. How he must count every penny, and save and scrimp and forbid himself books he needed, even. Ah, it was a very weary thing to live ; and he folded his arms, bent his head on his breast and allowed the absence of ventilation to do its worst with him. The absence of ventilation is very de moralizing. At least Mr. Pennywise always declares it is, and he speaks from experience. ' Chicory," cries the conductor. The cars stop, out hurries a party. In hur ries a solitary individual. On go the cars again again they stop. Verona, " cries the conductor, at least he intends to do so. More cannot be expected of conductors. " Thingumy Station. What's-its-name's Landing." " Sem-i-eolon." " Stopville." One after the other the cars glide into these stations, drop passengers, take others up. and fly away again. At las. " Ogrehill 'r is shouted. " Come along, Jane Maria !" screams the woman who shares the seat with Mr Pennywise. ' Come along ! do ! Conductor, I git out here." And away she hurries, dragging Jane Maria with her. A crowd of passen gers fill the center of the car. Mr. Pennywise heaves a luxurious sigh, throws up the window, and puts up his legs. They touch something. He looks down. It is a pocket-book a black leather pocket-book which lie3 upon the cushions. In an instant, without reflecting about the act, Mr. Pennywise has it in his hand. " "Whose is it ?" he asked himself. Conscience answered : "It belongs to that unpleasant woman." Sophistry interposed at once : " It may have been there when you sat down." " So it may," said Mr. Pennywise. " And the woman might say it was hers. " " Such is the depravity of the human heart," replied Mr. Pennywise. "Be sides " Where was the woman ? Gone. Of course, he must run after her and in quire. He arose slowly. "This ain't your station," said the conductor, and the cars flew on. The chance was gone. Mr. Pennywise still held the pocket book. He had not opened it. The fresh air blew across his face, balmy and sweet and pure. It swept away the demoralizing influence of bad ventila tion. Mr. Pennywise had reseated h Mar self with a consolatory reflection that he had probably fonnd a good deal of money. In ten minutes there was no consolation for him. Conscience awoke from her temporary suffocation and pointed her finger at him, and said : " You are a tbief. You might as well have stolen that pocket-book. You've broken a commandment. Can you ever show your face in the pulpit again ? I'm ashamed of you." The Rev. Mr. Pennywise writhed in torture ; he hid his face in his handker chief and fairly groaned. Awful thoughts possessed him. Perhaps this pocket-book held the little all of some poor widow ; perhaps she would suffer ' for tiie want of it. Jde mignt now hold in his hand the bread of fatherless chil dren he who had thought himself so good. Men have suffered less remorse for murder than did Mr. Pennvwise during that dreadful period of time j which lay between him and Hope's Cor- j ners. ac last, tnere tney were. Jfoor Mr. Pennywise hurried out of the car totally forgetting his traveling-bag and silk umbrella. He inquired of the j nearest ofhcial when he could get back to Ogrehill and was informed that no train but the three o'clock train ever stopped there. So there was nothing for it but to walk back ; for, of course, he must leave the pocket-book at the station where the poor woman would come to look for it ; and down the track Mr. Pennywise started, knowing that the sun would sink below the horizon long before he could regain Hope's Cor ners, and knowing that his Annie's mamma expected him to tea at half -past five o'clock! Mr. Pennywise reached the station of Ogrehill at last. He had walked down the track in the burning sun. His nose was scorched, his boots were white with dust. He was ready to drop with fa tigue, and his heart ached with remorse. It was as much as he could do to ad dress the station-master calmly and not grovel in the dust at his feet and cry, "Here is a thief." However, he did command himself, and having explained that he had found the pocket-book in the cars, and that he thought a woman in a green shawl dropped it, placed it in the hands of the rather dirty individual who, fancy ing him a passenger astray, and at first inquired what the deuce he wanted and begging that he would make sure the woman got it if she came for it, departed in a wretched frame of mind. He walked a few yards away from the station, and then sat down under a tree. Having done what he could, he was calmer. And now he remembered that he had left his traveling bag and umbrella in the car. By this time they were heaven knew where, and, of course, his visit to Hope's Corners must be postponed. He had no collars, no cuni", no anything. Besides, he could not show his wicked face to pure, true Annie Snow. He would take the next train home. He would walk back to the station and get a ticket. Slowly he arose-. Slowly he entered the wooden building and walked up to the ticket office. The first proceeding when one wants a railway ticket is to pay for it. And so Mr. Pennywise put his'hand into his pocket. Alas ! there was no money there. His pocket book was gone. "Fitting retribution," said the Rev. Alfred Pennywise. " Fitting retribu tion." He walked out: into the open air again. He felt in all his pockets. He looked on the ground. "I know now," said he to himself, " just how that poor woman felt." " Wretch that I am, I deserve it I" He stood still and looked along the track, not toward Hope's Corners. Of course he must reach home now as best he could. It would take at least a day and a half to do the requisite walking. Already he was hungry. No matter. It was his penance. He accepted it not cheerfully. He knew he should never be cheerful any more, but he bowed bis head and said that it was well. And then he turned up the bottoms of his pantaloons and started on his pilgrimage. That night he took a short nap under a hay stack. The next morning he found some blackberries by the road-side. At noon the sole of his right shoe had worked loose. At dusk, the left one. He tore his pocket- handkerchief in two and tied them on. It had begun to rain by this time. But we will not harrow up your feel ings any longer. Suffice it to say that, about midnight, Mr. Pennywise arrived at his boarding-house penniless, shoe less and drenched to the skir, and begged the frightened servant, in pite ous tones, for a cup of tea, and a bite of anything ; and that, the next morn ing, he was very ilL Just a week from that day, as he sat in his dressing-gown in his arm-chair, a young man desired to see him. Being ushered in, he proved to be a stranger, who blushingly refused to be seated, and inquired if Mr. Pennywise had not lost a pocket-book. Mr. Pennywise had. "Then," said the youth, "this is years. It was found in the train, and left with father, who is station-master at Ogre ville. It has your name and ad dress inside, so I thought I'd bring it in when I came. Father says a very unhappy-looking kind of a young man, that looked like a minister himself, left it. But he said a woman in a green shawl dropped it. That must a been a mistake. Glad to return it. No trouble ; oh, dear, no. Had a call to make in this street. Good-afternoon." And the boy went off. Mr. Pennywise examined the pocket book. It was the one he had lost. It was also the one he had found. It was his own pocket-book that Mr. Pennywise had seen upon the car seat and had picked up. It was hi own pocket-book that had given him such agonies of re morse and that he had delivered over to the station-master. If he had opened it he would have known it at once. Yes, it was and always had been his own, and not that woman's ; but Mr. Penny wise declares he broke a commandment all the same. New York Ledger. Chinese Pharmacy. Ah May was detected recently in the act of robbing a Chinese apothecary tthop on Pacific street. He was dis covered on the elevated window-sill en gaged in fishing up articles through a broken window-pane with a long pole to which a hook was fastened. At the precise moment of Alt May's capture he had succeeded in enticing upon his hook a small pair of deer's antlers, and was endeavoring to draw them through the hole in the window. The horns were embellished with Chinese hiero glyphics and adorned with fancy paper. Dya Hook, the erudite druggist whose premises had been raided upon, assert ed his proprietary interest in the antlers, and, to the manifest astonish ment of the court, declared their value to be 50. In explanation of the ap parent enormity of the charge, the druggist explained that the horns of the deer, when properly prepared, con tained a certain and specific remedy for various diseases. The trouble ex perienced in securing the antlers in their prepared state was considerable. The deer were pursued and worried un til they fell to the ground from exhaus tion, at which time the blood had be come so active that it had coursed through the antlers. The animals were then killed and the horns removed im mediately. It was supposed that the horns then contained the essential properties of the blood. The horns are then cut and ground into powder, and finally dissolved in a questionable solu tion of Chinese liquids. The particular pair which were presented to the ob servation of the court were of a superior kind, and contained the curative quality so extensively as to effectually eradicate half the diseases prevalent in the city. The Judge, who seldom puns, asked the druggist if the name of the ultimate preparation was not Chinese hart's horn, to which the druggist smilingly responded, " Oh, deer, no." San Francisco Chronicle. A New England Elegy. Wilbraham is so rich in reminis cences of the past thfit one might easily All pages in their recital, but we for bear and give only a celebrated poem, which we transcribe in its original form. The poem was written on the death of " Lieut. Thomas Mirick's only son, who died Aug. 7, 1761. By the Bite of a rattle snake, being 22 years, 2 months and three days old, and very nigh marridge." This potm has been appropriately termed the Elegy of the Mountain, and had a wide circulation in its youth, and was often borne upon the evening air in plaintive song: ' On Springfield mountains there did dwell A likely youth who was knowne full well ; Lieutenant Mirick's onely sone, A likely youth nigh twenty-one. " One Friday morning he did go Into the medow and did lnoe A round or two, then he did feel A pisen Barent at his heal. ' When he received his dedJy wound He dropt his sithe a pou the ground ; And strate for home wase his intent, Calling aloude still as he went. " Tho all around his voys wase hered, Bat none of his friends to him apiere ; They thot it was some workmen called, and there poor Timothy alone muBt fall. " So soon his earful father went To seak hla son, with discontent ; And there his fond onely son he found Ded as a stone, a pon the ground. " And there he lay down, sopose to rest, With both his hands A crost his breast. His mouth aud eyes clused fast, And there poer uiau he slept his last. " His father vieude. his track with great concern, Where he had ran across the corn ; I'neven tracks, where he did go, Xlid apear to stagger to and fro. u The seventh of August, sixty-one. This fatal axsident was done, Let this a warning be to oil. To lie Preparod when God does call." Worcester Mass.) Spy. Change in the French Steamship Line. Hereafter the steamers of the French Trans-Atlantic line will sail from Havre direct to New York, without stopping at Brest. The company have long desired to run their steamers with out stopping at Brest, but have been oppesed by the government. They began stopping at that port about twelve years ago by order of the Emperor Napoleon, who had established a naval station at Brest, and who desired to make it a port of entry also, as well as to open up the barren country of Brit tany. Soon after the steamers began stopping at Brest a railroad was opened between that place and Paris. The trade of Brest, however, was always small and neverremunerated the steam ship company. Its distance from Paris is very much greater than that of Havre, and passengers much preferred the latter route. The harbor of Brest is also dangerous, and cannot safely be entered after dark, so that vessels often have to he outside all night. The steamers were frequently obliged to leave Havre on Thursday in order to get out of the docks at high water, which did not always occur on Friday so that they could reach Brest on Satur day. In this manner passengers were detained on board two days before Anally sailing for New York. The French line will run weekly steamers between Havre and New York next spring. S rrrPBTjELDiNO on the Cltob. In 1873 there were 150 ships built on the Clyde, representing a tonnage of 251, 846 tons. This year the number is ex pected to be 200. Of those enumerated 121 were large sea-going steamers, 10 were iron sailing-ships, and 10 wooden ships. One firm alone employs 6,000 men, and altogether there are more than 30,000 shipwrights in the neigh borhood of Glasgow. The largest ship launched last year was the Iberia, of 4,820 tons, belonging to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company.

Since the intrp duction of distilled spirits in the six teenth century, they have been habitu ally prescribed as remedies. We know that alcohol, in all its forms, is perni cious to health. Knowing these things and that under tlie system of treatment which includes their use the mortality among the sick is, and ever has been, enormous, is it not worth while to try the effect of a remedy which combines in their highest excellence the qualities of a Tonic, an Alterative and a Regula tor ; contains no mineral bane or mur derous alkaloid or alcoholic poison ; does its curative office without pain and with uniform certainty ? Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters fulfills all these con ditions, and is now effecting the most extraordinary cures, in cases where every "specific" of the faculty has ig nominiously failed. Consider, in view of these facts, whether any sick person is justified by reason and common sense in declining to test the virtues of this uudetiled and irresistible remedy. 11 The largest volunteer corps in Great Britain are the 1st Edinburgh and the Queen's Westminster.

Walker's California Tin egar Hitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chieliy from the na tive berba found on tho lower minges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, tho medicinal properties of which are extracted tbcrefrom without tho use of Alcohol. Tho question i.; almost daily asked, "What is the caacse of tho un paralleled success of Vixkgar 1$ -ticks?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invip;orator of tiie system. Never before in tho history of the world lias a medicine been compounded possessing the remasiiable qualities of Vinkg a r Bitters in healing tho sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle" Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, iu Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dn. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are Aperient. Diaphoretic, Carminative. Nutritious. Laxative. Diuretic, Sedative, ConiuW-Iiiritant. Sudorilic, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin egar Bittfrs tlie most woik' jrful In vigorant that ever sustained Um sinking system. Ho Person can take these Hitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent aad Intermittent-Fevers, which are jo preva lent in the valleys of our re;i,t rivers throughout the United Stajtes, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri. Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, llio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah. Ro anoke, James, and many -others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, nd remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de- rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Hitters. as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same tinie stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the hody against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache. Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp lofns, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White SweNings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores. Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. in Ihese, :is in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walker's Vinega& Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and' Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the ' Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vin egar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots. Pimples Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch Scurfs, Iiscolorations of the Skin, Humor: and Diseases of the Skin of whatever nm or nature, are literally dug up and carriei ont of the system in a short time by tbe use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelmiiiitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the. Vitiated Blond when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores ; cleanse it wheu you find it obstructed anil sluggish in the veins; cleanse'it when it if foul; your feelings will tell you wben. !!''! the blood pure, and the health of the Bjw m wiU follow.
