ALLCoCK's PoRoUs PLAsTERs-Internal Lesion
Cured.-Mr. Thomas, after a severe sickness, had
lesion of the liver. Every quick movement or sud
den jar gave him severe pain, often laying him up
for days In this condition he applied the part
affected an Alcock's Porous Plaster. At first 1t
seemed to irriiate, so It was taken of. But the
marked Improvement he experienced afterwards
gave him courage to try again, and he therefore ap
piled another plaster. In few days something gave
way-"slipped" There was some soreness for few
days after then his health was perfectly restored.
PAIN OF THE SIDE AND ENLARGED SPLEEN
CURED.
A gentleman had enlarged spleen; pain constantly
on the left side, low down. Applied Porous Plaster.
After few days the plaster fairly washed OF by
a sort ofweeping of the pores of the part. BE ap-
Piled towel, which soon became wet he had to
change it several times day. When this weeping
from the part stopped the pain returned, so that
another Porous Plaster was applied. This produced
the same effect as the former application. These ap-
plications OF Ancock's Porous Plaster, alternating
with the towel, continued for period OF sew
eral months, during which time the gentleman's
health was improving. At length he also felt some.
thing give way inside. No more trouble has been
well since.

Jack Linton ON Failing.

"Flailing," said Jack, taking up a moral
izing strain when the laugh was over, "don't
pay. The last school went to before came
here was full of no end of failing There
gets to be sort of sameness about it after
while. Confound that old ruler! L used to
get it about every day-three or fouI whacks
on fellows hand; first it stung and then it
was numb; and it always made me mad, or
else didn't care. There isn't quite so much
sameness about a raw-hide, 70 sometimes
you catch it on your legs and sometimes on
your shoulders, but there gets to be sort of
sameness about that too. But here in this
school! Myl You never know what's M
ing. Say, boys, do you remember that day
when 1 was making such row out in the
yard, how Mr.. Bird made me take fish-hon,
and blow it at each corner of the church on
the green?"
The boys laughed, and Henry Hulm said !:
YES, Jack, but you liked that better than
that other punishment when he sent you
out into the grove to yell for three-quarters of
an hour"
''Pll bet l did," responded Jack. II got
so hoarse that time L couldn't speak the truth
for week, but that's enough better than
meditating. Ii there's anything hate it's
meditating on my misdemeanoIs and things,
kneeling before a tree by the side of the road,

found me there believe he'd have kneeled
right by the side of fellow; and wouldn't
that have been pretty show Did any Of
you ever hug tree for an hour?'
None of them evel did. 'lts awful tire
some," continued Jack, upon whose punish
ments Mr.. Bird seemed to have exercised all
his ingenulties. "Its awful tiresome and it
sn't bit interesting. If it was only birch

the bark, but mine was hemlock with an
ant-heap at the bottom. Oh! l tell you, my

through; more ants in 'em than you could
count in week. Got little ercise out OF
it, though-fghting one foot with the other.

st. Nicholas.

st. Nicholas, as all the world knows, is the
patron of children, with whom he is the
most popular saint in the calendar. Bishop
of Myra, in Lycia, in the time of Constantine
the Great, if we are to credit the Roman bre-
wary, he supplied three destitute maidens
with dowries by secretly leaving marriage
portion for ca III at their window. Hence
the popular fiction that he is the purveyor OF
presents to children on Christmas-eve. He
usually makes his appearance as an old man
with venerable beard, and dressed as bish-
op, either riding white horse or an ass, and
carrying large basket on his arm, and a
bundle of rods in his hand. In some parts
OF Bohemia he appears dressed up in sheet
instead of surplce, with a crushed pillow
on his head instead of a mitre. On his cali
ing out, swift thou pray?" all the children
fall upon their knees, whereupon he lets fall
some fruit upon the floor and disappears. In
this manner he goes from house to house,
sometimes ringing bell to announce his ar
rival, visits the nurseries inquiries into the
conduct of the children, praises or admonish-
es them, as the case may be, distributing
sweetmeats or rods accordingly.
st. Nicholas is the Santa Claus of Holland,
and the Samikagus of Switzerland, and the
Sonner Klas of Helgoland. In the Vorarl-
berg he is known as Zemmiklas, who threat
ems to put naughty children into his hay
sack; In Neither Austria as NlklO, or NlglO,
who is followed by masked servant called
Krampus; while in the Tyrol he goes by the
name of the "Holy Man," and shares
the patronage of his office with st.
Lucy, who distributes gifts among the girls
as he does among the boys. Sometimes he is
accompanied by the Christ-child.
In many parts of Switzerland, Germany
and the Netherlands st. Nicholas still dis
| tributes his presents on st. Nicholas's Eve
the 9TH of December-instead of on Christ
mas-eve. In the Netherlands and adjoining
| provinces he Is especially popular, and is per
| haps the only saint who has maintained hi
full credit, even among the Protestants. Fo
! days previous to his expected advent bus,
housewives have been secretly conspirins
with the bakers in gliding nuts, cakes anG
gingerbread, and torturing pastry, prepared
with flour, sugar, honey, spices, and sweat
meats, into the most fantastical forms, from
which the good saint may from time e, to :, time tim
replenish his supplies. As to the enlldren,
st. Nicholas or Sunder Klaas is the burden o.
their prayers, the staple of their dreams, and
and the inspiration Of their songs As tAey

Fathers who are trying to dissuade their
sons from entering the ministry, should take
warning from this terrible example, which
the Hartford Post brings to light. ''We know
man who wauted to be minister of the gos-
pei. His father swore immense oaths that if
the boy ever opened his head again on the
subject it should be instantly broken. So his
duty to this exemplary parent required him
to learn the trade of lawyer. The young
man became a fine orator, and went to Con-
gress, but there always remained in him an
element of grace that conficted with his legal
and political business, so that he did not
make much money at the law and could not
stay in Congress.
