In this light II may DO looked ON as o safeguard
intended to give notice Of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late TO be
remeded and Its indications should never be
neglected. Headaches may be classified under
two names, viz: Symptomatic and Idiopathic.
Symptomatic Headache Is exceedingly COM
mon and Is the precursor ola great variety Of
diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout,
Rheumatism and oil febrile diseases. In its
nervous form II Is sympathetic OF disease 9th
stomach, constituting sick headache, OF heptic
disease constituting iilious headache of worms,
constipation or other disorders Of the bowels,
as well rs renal and uterine affections. Diseas-
es OF the heart are very frequently attended
with headaches An@mia and plethora are
also affections which frequently occasion head
ache. IdiOpathic Headache Is also very COM
mon, being usually distinguished by the name
OF NERVOUS headache, sometimes coming on
suddenly in state Of apparently sound health
and prostrating ut once the mental and physi-
cal energies, and In other instances II comes ON
slowly, heralded by depression Of spirits or
acerbity Of temper. In most instances the pain
Is In the front Of the head, over one or both
eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting un-
der this class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment Of either class Of headache
the Ccphalc Pills have been found sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains In q
few minutes, and by its snbtle power eradicat-
ing the diseases Of which Headache Is the un-
erring index.

Hurry and Leisure.


very well to be occasionally, for two or
three days, or oven for a fortnight, in
hurry. Every earnest man, with work
to do, viii find that occasionally there
comes pressure of it; there comes a
crowd of things which must be done
q. all; and the condition thus induced Is
hurry. | am aware, of course, that there
is distinction between haste and hurry
hurry adding to rapidlty the element
of painful confusion; but in the Gaze of
ordinary people, haste generally implies
hurry. Aud it will never do to become
involved in mode of life which implies
constant GREATNESS pushing on. It
must be horrible thing to go through life
in hurry. 1t is highly expedent for
all, it is absolutely necessary for most
men, that they should have occasional
leisure. Many OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
all the tranquil and enduring enjoyments
of life-cannot be felt except in leisure
And the best products of the human
mind and heart can be brought forth only
in leisure. Little does he know of the
calm, unexciting, unwearying. lasting sat
isfacton of life, who has never known
whatit is to place the leisurely hand in
the idle pocket, and to saunter to and fro.
Mind, utterly 'despise the idler-the
loafer, as Yankees term him, who never
does anything-whose idle hands are
always in bis idle pockets, and who is al
ways saunteting to and fro. Leisure, be
it remembered, is the intermission of Ia
Dor; it is the blink of idleness in the life
of a Woodworking man. 1t is only in
the case of such man that leisure is dig
nifed, commendable, or enjoyable. But
to him it is all these, and more. Let us
not be ever driving on. The machinery,
physical and mental, will not stand it.
1t is fit that one should occasionally sit
down on grassy bank, and look listless-
Iy, for long time, at the daisies around
and watch the patches Outright blue sky
through green leaves overhead. It is
right to rest on large stone by the mar
gin of q river; to rest there on a
summer dag for long time, and to
watch the lapse of the water as it passes
away, and to listen to its silvery ripple
over the pebbles. Who but blockhead
will think you idle? Of course block
heads may; but you and I, my reader,
do not care rush for the opinion of
blockheads.

St, Nicholas.

st. NICHOLAS
Twas the night before Christmas, when, all
through the hoLse,
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse,
The stockings were hung by Il chimney with
care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there.
The children were nestkd all snug in their
beds.
While visors of sugar-l films danced thro'
TIA ir heads
And mamma IN her 'kercli,f and in my
cap.
Had Just settled our brain fol a long winters
nap
When cut in the lawn there Sc such aclat-
/ sprans from my bed to see what was the
matter:
AWAY to the window flew like fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the
sash.
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen
snow,
Gave the luster of midday to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should
appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein
deer,
With little old driver so lively and quick,
/ knew in moment it must be ST. Nick,
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came.
And he Whispered and should and call'd
them by anne;
"Now Dashcr now Dancer now Prancer
now Vixen
On Comet on Cupid on Donder and Blk
To the top of the porch to the top of the
wall
Now dash away dash away, dash away all 2
ii a. r. 81. I. n
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to
the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With asleigh full Of boys-and st, Nicholas
too;
And then, in a tw ink1ing, heard on the roof
The pransing and paving of each little hoof
As | drew in my head and was turning
around, ,ee-.
Down the chimney st Nicholas came with q
bound
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his
foot,
| And his cloths were all furnished with ashes
and SCOT
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back.
He looked like pedler just opening his pack
His eyes, how they twinkled his dimples
how merry
His cheeks w.ere.Ike roses, his nose like a
cherry,
His droll little mouth was drawn up like 2
bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow
The stump ola pipe he held tight in his teeth
| And the smoke, it encircled his head like a
wreath.
He had broad face and little round belly.
That shook when he laughed like bowl full
ofjelly,
He was chubby and plump-a right jolly old
elf,
And l laughed when saw him, in spite oil
myself
A wink ofhis eye and twist of his head.
Soon gave me to know i had nothing to
dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight TO his
work.
And filled all the stockings-then turned with
ajerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose.
And giving nod up the coimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave q
whistle,
And away they all flew like the down off g
thistle.
But heard him cxclaim ere he drove out Of
sight.

will give good satisfaction to its hosts of
old friends and win many new ones.
PETERsoN's LADIES MAGAZINE for

lady friend:
THE WISCONSIN FARMER for Deem
Der is full of excellent matter, as usual.
In this number, Prof. Hoyt and Lady
take leave Of the editorial department of

their interests than by subscribing for this
