So nearly perfect the recipes Of these wonderful
pain-soothing and healing Centaur Liniments that
we can confidently say they will nlleViats any
pain arising from flesh, bono muscle derange-
ments. We do not pretend that they will mend
broken leg e1terminate boils, but in such
caGea they will reduce the Inflammation and stop the
pain. Nor guarantee the proper results where
the body is poisoned by whiskey. Temperance
is as necessary to proper physical IS mental cond
tion.
The White Centaur Imminent is particu-
lArly adapted TO all cases Of rheumatism, Lumbago,
Neuralgia Erysipelas, Itch sprsins ChilblAinS Cuts
Bruises, Stings, Posons, Scads, SciAca Weak Back,
Pains in the Side Wounds, Weeping Sinews, Burns,
Frosted Feet, Palsy, RarAche Tooth-sche, Headache,
Ulcers, Old Sores Broken-breAss, Sore Nipples, Sore
Throat, Group, Diphthera, etc. The most of these
complaints the CentAur Linment will cure; all OF
them 1t will benefit It will extract the poison from
bites and stings and will burns and scslds with
out scar. The following is but sample OF thou
sand similar testimonials:

BRATTLEBORO, VT. FRIDAY, JANUARY %, 1876

The first intimation we received that
Christmas lad come, was the chirping of a
little sparrow, which came TO our window
one hour before daybreak and began call
ing for food. These little BIRDS stay with
us all winter, hopping about the streets so
tame that one can almost pick them up in
his hand. The colder tho weather, the
livelier and tanner they seem 10 be. Hun
dreds of people feed them. In the evening
they scatter crumbs outside their bedroom
windows, aud with the first light the hap
py chipping OF those little creatures Is heard
as they gather up their morning meal. AT
daylight the military band ofhity pieces
marched through the streets, arousing ev-
erybody with the beautiful music-and it
was German music, too-of their grand old
Christmas hymns. Then tho chimes took
up the spirit of the hour, and the truth
went thrilling through our souls that the
gladdest day Of all the year bad fully
dawned. G. w. HALL.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1876-01-28

Through the massive portal of the outer
gate we have come, and entering into the
Jail through that handsome door in the
iron railing that closes the inside entrance,
we find ourselves Ia a building in which
three or more wings converge to the centre
hall. Each wing is divided into three sto-
ries. Along each story runs light iron
gallery, which you can gain by mount
ing that ornamental circular stair running
from top TO bottom. Above, large glass
skylights give ample light and ventilation.
Everything is light, airy, and cheerful.
The brasses shine as brssses shine only in
jsils and men~of-war. Let us walk along
the cells and look at some OF their occu-
pants. Here is a man making pair of
boots, and seemingly rather comfortable
and happy. He is boot-maker, who has
been twenty times committed for drunk
enness. He is only a drunkard, so we
may feel a certain amount OF satisfaction
that he is not very miserable. What diff
ference for him is his time spent in Jail
from the intervals OF freedom Here he
works between six and seven hours day,
and out of his earnings he receives an al
lowance larger than ever was left him by
the public-hous when at home. Around
him everything is e1quisitely clean. His
cell is boarded and measures twelve feet
by seven. 1t is ten feet high and lit and
ventilated in the most perfect manner that
science can devise. On his shelf are his
dish for porridge, and tins bright as silver
for soup and milk. A clean hammock, in
which you might sleep most comfortably.
is neatly folded and hung against the wall.
In corner is a basin with water laid on
In which he may wash if he chooses. In
Winter the apartment is kept at a comfort
able temperature by hot-air pipes, and a
gas-buIner diffuses a cheerful light in the
long Winter evenings. Should he feel i'll ,
he pulls a bell-handle, on which gong
sounds in the centre hall and from his door
the number OF his cell starts out and no
millionaire at Clarldge's is half so puhctu-
ally answered as he is by the turnkey on
guard, who inquiries into his wants, and il
necessary a doctor is ut his bedside long
ere the union doctor could be found and
persuaded to visit him were he at home.
As he seems a quiet fellow, We do not feel
much regIet that he has had the good for
tune to become a habitual drunkard; but
what shall we say to the occupant of the
adJoining-well, cellf Here burly ruff
fain is engaged in making mats. The work
is pleasant tho cell a fac slmile of tho one
described; and as we listen to the details
OF the crime for which he 10 undergoing
two months punishment" we cannot help
contrasting his pleasant lot with the sqoal-
or aud misery OF his lazy, idle, polluted
life outside, aud feeling that in so punish
ing a ruflian for = brutal assault upon a
woman humanitarianism has become n
crime, and set up in our jails temptation
to idle rascals to "come in and be happy"
against which 1t would require large
amount Of abstract morality to struggle

The people OF Brooklyn have taken
very effective way to fight the gas monop-

AS many hanks as she had spun be-
fore for her daily bread, she spun still,
and one over, to buy her nightly cam
die; and from that time to this, for
fifty years, through youth, maturity
and old age, she has turned night into
day, and in the snowstorms Of winter,
through driving mists, deceptive moon
light and solemn darkness, that north
ern harbor has never once been with
out the light of her candle.
How many lives she saved by this
candle, and how many meals she won
by 1T for the starving families of the
ooatsmen, 1t is impossible tosay. How
many dark nights the fishermen, de-
pending on it, have gone forth, cannot
now be told. There it stood, regular as
a lighthouse, steady as constant care
could make it. Always brighter when
daylight wanted, the fishermen had only
to keep it constantly in view and they
were safe; there was but one thing to in
tercept it, and that was the Rock. How
ever far they might have gone out to
Sc, they had only to bear down for
that lighted window, and they were
sure of a safe entrance to the harbor.
But what do the boatmen and boat
mems wives think of this? Do they
pay the woman? No; they are very
poor; but poor or rich, they know bet
ter than that. Do they thank her? No.
Perhaps they think that thanks of tt eirs
would be inadequate to express their
gratitude; or perhaps long years have
made the lighted easement so familiar
that they look upon it as a matter OF
course, and forget for the time the pa.
tent watcher within.

a MaterialiZed Hole.
Scientific American

Take a sheet of stiff writing paper
and fold it into a tube an inch in diam
eter. Apply it to the right eye and
look steadfastly through it, focusing
the eye on any convenient object;
keep the eye open. Now place the
left hand, held palm upward, edgeways
against the side of the paper tube, and
about an inch Or two above its lower
end. The astonishing effect will be
produced of a hole, apparently of the
size of the cross section of the tube,
made through the left hand. This is
hole In which we propose to materi-
alize another and smaller hole. AS we
need a genuine aperture, and 1t would
be inconvenient to make one in the
left hand, let sheet of white paper
be substituted therefor and similarly
held. Just at the part of the paper
where the hole equaling in diameter
the oritice Of the tube appears, make
an opening one-fourth inch in diam
eter. Now stare intently into the tube;
and the second hole, defined by its diff
ference of illumination, will be seen
floating IN the first hole, and yet both
Will be transparent. The illusion, for
OF course it is one Of those odd pranks
our blnocular vision plays upon us, is
certainly one Of the most curious ever
devised. Besides, here is the actual
hole clearly visible, and yet there is no
solid body to be seen to define its
edges. It is not mere spot of light,
because, if page of print be regard.
ed, the lines within the boundaries OF
the little hole will not coincide at all
with those surrounding it and extend
ing to the edges of the large apparent
aperture. Each eye obviously trans
mits an entirely different impression
to the brain, and that organ, unable to
disentangle them, lands US IN the pal
pable absurdity Of materlahzed hole.

THIS is what Mr. M. D. CONWAY tells

THIS is what Mr.. M. D. Conway tells
of the parrot of the late Lady Stanley:
Last year Lady Augusta Stanley's
parrot escaped, and the Dean and a
number of the clergy, including the
Archbishop, who were with him at the
time, went out into the garden to find
the bird. The search was in vain for a
time, but presently a voice came from
the trees above, saying, Let us pray 7
It was familiar voice, and Lady STAN
ley laughed, then the Dean laughed,
and finally the whole ecclesiastical
group roared, as the parrot-cry came
again, with junction, Let us pray |"

A Light in the Window.

Jean Ingelow tells the following in
her E'Stories Told to Child
Off the coast of one of the Orkney
Islands, and right opposite the harbor,
stood q lonely rock, against which, in
stormy nights, the boats Of returning
fishermen often struck and were lost.
Fifty years ago there lived on this
island a young girl in a cottage with
her father; and they loved each other
very tenderly. One stormy night the
father was away on the sea in his fs b.
erman's boat, and though his daughter
watched for him in much fear and
trouble, he did not come home. Sad
to tell, in the morning his dead body
was found washed upon the beach.
His body as he sought the harbor, had
struck against the g Lonely Rock" and
gone down.
In her deep sorrow this fisherman
orphan did not think of herself alone.
She was scarcely more than child,
humble, poor and weak; yet she said in
her heart that, while she lived, no more
boats should be lost on the "Lonely
Rock" if a light shining through her
W windowould guide them safely into
the harbor. And so, after watching by
the body of her father, according to
the custom of her people, until it was
buried, she laid down and slept through
the day; but when night fell she arose,
and lighting candle, placed it in the
window of her cottage, so that it might
be seen by any fisherman coming in
from the sea, and guide him safely into
harbor. She sat by the candle all
night, and trimmed it, and spun; but
when the day dawned, she went to bed
and slept.
