Mr.. H. X. SteuenS:
DEAR SIR: In the year 1850. while residing at
Portland, Ne, was afflicted with Cancer on my
physicians there were consulted, without any ben

crease and extend. until IL was Invading my whole
system. / suffered the most excruuating pains,
approaching a fatal termination. Being burned
out OF house and home by the great fire OF 1865, |
moved here, when was entreated to try the Indian
Blood Remedy, VEGErINE, and suffering greatly,
without hope or confidence in relief by any medI-
cine, finally consented TO try It; and only those
who have a similar suffering can realize my
feelings when, after two months IrIal, found
the open sore commencing to heal. Gaining cou-
ndence that the disease was being successfully
combatted by the VEGETINE, (for took no other
months the cancer was healed and my health fully
am confident If had used vEGErINE in the
early stages OF the disease It would have arrested

testimonial TO its entire success in my case, and
entirely healed and enjoy good health. Ny hus-

Little Things.

1t is only a little thing-only sacri-
fice-therefore it is not appreciated.
How many admirable actions are over
looked because they are little and COM
mon. Take. for instance, the mother,
who has had broken slumber, if any at
all, with the nursing babe, whose
wants must not be disregarded; she
would fain sleep awhile when breakfast
hour comes, but patiently and uncom-
plainingly takes her timely seat at the
table. Though exhausted and weak,
she serves all with refreshing cup OF
coffee or tea before she sips it herself:
and often the cup is handed back before
she has time TO sip her own. DO you
hear her complain-the weary mother
that her breakfast is cold before she
has had time to eat it? And this is no;
for one, but for every morning, perhaps,
through the year. Do you call this a
small thing? Try it and see. Oh
how woman does shame us by her for
bearance and fortitude in what are
called little things! All. it is these lit
tie things that are tests of character; II
is by these ''little," denials, borne with
such self-forgotten gentleness, the hum
blest home is made beautiful, though
we fail TO see it, alas until the chair is
vacant, and the hand that kept in mo-
tion all this domestic machinery is
powerless and cold.

went down, laid cold hard floor across
the river Thames wrapped all the
world in fleecy snow, and then, flying
to the castle windows, tapped with his
cracking icy knuckles, sang, and made
many sorts of odd noises, as much as to
say, GAN is ready, come out and take a
walk"

self a white dress and cloak, covered
her black hair with white hood, and,
like spirits, all five set forth on foot.
Their steps made no noise as they crept
along and their white figures cast hard
ly a shadow on the winter snow.
Through the beseiging camp they
crept, and across the frozen river. No
sentinel spied them, not even a dog
barked. If any lonely peasant woke
up and caught glimpse of the dim
shapes gliding by he probably took
them for ghosts, and hid his head under
the bedclOthes again as fast as possible.
So, sometimes on foot, sometimes on
horseback, but always unpursued and
in safety, the fugitives sped on, until
they reached Wallingford, where Ma
tilda's army lay, and were secure.

ssCheNSe ffi.,

"By thunder, Commodore, that's the
idea; I'll try EN-" cried the first luff.
And in few minutes the fire of the
old Santa Maria Goes ship, which
had ceased entirely, was opened and
Admiral Brown found more shot flying
over his head. Directly one of them
struck his mainmast, and as it did so
it scattered in every direction.
"By Jove, this is too much; this is
some Paixham or other-I don't like
'em at all ?" cried Brown. And then as
four or five more of them came slap
through his sails, he gave the orders to
fill away, and actually backed out of
sight, receiving a parting broadside OF
Dutch cheese.

The Father.

He is the appointed mead of the FAM
lily. He may rule by love, but it is his
right and duty to rule; and to him, as
the monarch of that little state, must
be the last appeal. Hence he appears
before his children invested with au-
thority-the divinely appointed repre-
sentative of law; and if he worthily
sways the sceptre over his little realm,
he develops in his children some of the
most desirable traits of character. II
love is one of the traits of family hap
piness, order is another; and it is his,
in the last appeal, to support order. II
the sympathies and affections of child
rem should be developed, so should their
spirit of obedience to rightful author
ity. 1t is undoubtedly desirable TO
raise the mothers authority to the high
est degree; and when the father is what
he should be, and does what he should
do, she stands invested, in the eyes of
her children, with power combining
an indirect reverence for the father,
who appears only to sustain the mater
nal rule, with direct obedience to her
own gentleness.

Nervous Actress.

Laferriere, says French journal,
has been playing ''The Poor Idiot" in
the provinces. At one small town the
stock company was very nervous about
playing with the great star, especially
hapless woman who was cast for the
mother, and with whom Laferriere has
the crack scene of the piece. 1t is in
the fifth act, at the moment that the
idiot begins to recognize and distin-
guish the persons that surround him;
then she rushes to him and, folding him
in her arms, shrieks: "My son, am
your mother!" A. every rehearsal La
ferriere encouraged her. "Don't be
nervous" he would say; ''keep cool.
All you have to do is to cry, "My son,
am your MOTHER aud embrace me-"
"Oh yes, but, NJ. Laferr:ere, / am too
frightened to play with you" All went
well through the first four acts, and in
the wait before the fifth Laferriere went
to the actress dressing room to cheer
her. "Keep up stiff upper lip" he
said, cheerfully; ''you know what you
have to do. The whole play leads up
to that scene. / reckon on you. "My
son, am your mother" and embrace
me-" "Yes, yes; my son, | am your
motherr shall not forget" The cur
tain rose. Laferriere was playing with
even more than his furious vigOr. The
crisis comes and the lady clasps him to
her bosom. ''Now, then," he whis-
pered encouragingly; then, taking up
his part, yelled: "who is this woman? !?
Who is she?" "My mother l am your
SOM" gasped the actress; then she
shrieked. Laferriere had made his teeth
meet in her arm!

An Underground Palace.

A remarkable story comes from Hun
gary. IL seems that two peasants,
while digging in the woods skirting the
village OF Ivan Egergez, near Pesth,
suddenly came upon what appeared to
be square structure of brick walls,
with stone covering the aperture. Re
moving this stone, they found that these
walls inclosed an opening in the earth,
and they resolved to explore the shaft.
Accordingly, they prepared rope lad
der of the requisite length, secured sew
eral lanterns, and then Que of them let
himself down. At the bottom he stood
in wOnderment as he gaZed upon large
square hall, the wall covered with faded
paintings, chairs, benches and tables
standing around, ornamented with gold
and ivory, and large, heavy doors, hung
with golden hinges, leading TO other
rooms. The shepherd climbed the lad
der and told his companion of his dis
eovery. Both of them went down to-
gether and found themselves in sue
cessiOn of rooms which abounJled with
elaborately carved furniture, of a style
they had never seen before. In some
of them were low, large stands, evident
ly once used for beds, there were also
closets, bureaus containing armlets,
rings, medals, coins, daggers, chains,
swords, shields and helmets. There
were also breastplates of leather cev
cred with ornaments in gold Some of
the armlets they took away, broke them
up, and carried them to Pesth for sale,
in which transaction they were arres-
ted, and the officers of the Hungarian
Ministry of the Interior began official
investigations. Their researches clear
ly established il as fact that this sub
terranean structure was undoubtedly
an old Roman castle, built many centu-
ries before the Huns and Magyars left
their Asiatic homes TO invade this part
of Europe. But how this vast structure,
which is said TO cover two acres, and
built two stories high, with massive
walls of stone and brick, was covered
with earth to the depth of more than
sixty feet, over which forest of heavy
timber had grown up-a forest, too,
that is mentioned as existing in the old
est preserved chronicles of the kingdom
the officers have so far found---is impOs-
sible to account fer. The shaft through
which the first discovery was made is
supposed to be chimney or observatory.

Gothic Furniture.

The reader will easily understand that
in order to build his modern house and
furnish it accurately in the Gothic, if
that Is the style chosen-and unless ac-
curately, best not at all-it as necessary
for him to understand something of the
origin, the genesis, and method of use
of each article as it is for him to know
how to count in order to east up a sum
in addition. 1t is, indeed, impossible
for him, with all the new requirements
of life, to furnish it in specimens of the
ancient Gothic alone. Nothing Is so
absurd as your ''Middle Age manners
adapter," who does not take the differ
ence in time into account, who attempts
to reproduce the ancient, and leaves the
modern out of his consideration. The
best that can be done, the only thing
that should be done, is not to reproduce
the ancient simply, but to adapt the an
cient to the modern, and i'm order TO do
that, one needs some archaeological
knowledge, tolerabIy definite idea of
the way affairs were ordered in the days
that are gone.
1t would be idle to ignore the allevia-
tions of existence that modern times
have compassed, in order to produce a
perfect picture in our dwelling of the
ancient, with its struggle for convent
ence and its result of inconvenience; to
forego the illumination of our rooms
with great sheets of mirrors, for in
stance, because Aregonde looked at her
beauty only in hand-mirror; to re-
fuse the use of gas, because in the me-
diaval rooms pitchy torches hung in
hooks upon the wall, oil burned in cups,
and wax in the great-chain swung cop
per circles; to drop piano, bookcase,
pipes, photographs, wallpaper. because
the medieval never heard of them; to
insist upon comfortles chair, because
the Gothic spine was made of steel. One
might as well refuse to read a poem of
Tennyson's because 1t was not written
in black letter. And thus nobody pro-
poses to do it.
ding to the Gothic style would seem to
be to violate no generally accepted mod
ern custom in adhering to medieval
form. We are not going back to medi-
eval life; We are bringing the Gothic
TO add beauty to our life-our life, which
is confessedly loftier than the medieval
in every purpose and attainment, with
the single exception of invention in art.
If We take the Gothic where our ances-
tors left it, and apply its principles to
the exigencies of the present, we shall
avoid the great danger that threatens
the age of crystallizing where we are,
and becoming nothing but Chinese copy
lists. We shall certainly have to make
new combinations of old forms; in max
Ing those combinations we may possibly
alight upon new forms.
