Winds are advertisements of all they touch,
however much or little we may be able to
read them telling their wanderings even by
their scents alone. Mariners detect the flow
cry perfume of land winds far At sea, and sea
winds carry the fragrance of dulse and tangle
far inland, where it is quickly recognized,
though mingled with the scents Of thous-
and land flowers. AS an illustration Of this,
| might say that | breathed sea air ON the
Firth of Forth, in Scotland, while boy
then was taken inland to WISCONSIN, where
remained nineteen years then, without in
all this time having breathed one breath Of
the sea, walked quietly alone, from the
middle of the Mississippi Valley to the Gulf
of Mexico, on botanical excursion, and
while in Florida, far from the coast, my at.
tention wholly bent on the splendid tropical
vegetation, | suddenly recognized a sea
breeze, as 1t came sitting through the palnet.
toes and blooming vine tangles, which at
once awakened and set free thousand dor
mant associations, and made me q boy in
Scotland again, as if all the intervening
years were annihlated.
Most people like to look at mountain rivers
and bear them in mind but few care to look
at the winds, though far more beautiful aud
/, sublime. and though they become at times a.
boat as visible as flowing water. When the
north winds in Winter are making upward
sweeps oves tbs curvins SUBMITS of the Alps,
the fact is sometimes published with flying
banners half a mile long. Those PORTIONS of
the winds thus embodied can scarce be Who'll.
| ly invisible, even to tie darkest imagination.
And when we look AROUND over an agitated
forest, We may see something of the wind
| that stirs it, by its effects upon the trees
Yonder it descends in a rush OF water like
ripples, and sweeps over the bending trees
| from hill to hill Nearer, we see detached
plumes aud leaves now speeding by ON level
currents now whirled in eddies, or, escaping
osar the edges of the whirls, carried rapidly
aloft on grand, up swelling domes of air, OF
tossed on flame lie crests, smooth, deep cur
rents, cascades, falls, and swirling eddies
singing around every tree and leaf. and ovel
all the varied topography of the region will
telling changes of form, like mountain rlvert
conforming to the features of their channels

THE EDITOR. Billings says: "If
anybody has hard work of it to please most
people, it is an editor. If he omits anything
be is lazy. II he speaks ofthings as they are,
people get angry. If he CLOSES over or
smooths down the rough points, be is bribed
If he calls things by their proper names he is
declared unfit for his position. If he does not
furnish his readers with jokes, he is a mullet.
If he does he is rattle head, lacking stabil-
ity. If he INDUCES in personals, he is a
black guard. If he does not his paper is dull
and insipid"

USEFUL AND USELESS HusBASDe. The
average husband is conceded by all inte 'iigent
wives to be utterly useless when at home. lie
may be acute aud skillful at his business, and
he may be an affectionate husband and father,
and when there is anything to be done in the
house in the way of repairing furniture or i'm
promising cheap su Institutes for bedsteads or
mop handles, he is of less value than his own
little boy, who often helps his mother. While
this is undoubtedly true of most men, there
is occasionally found one whose delight con-
sists in constantly praeticing as an amateur
cabinet maker plumber or carpenter. He of

upon which be can use a little glue or warm
sh, and deyising plans for filing up the corn
er of the dining room With few triangular
shelves, and for putting up wooden mantle
piece in the hall bedroom. The sound of his
saw and hammer are heard often, and he goes
to bed at late hours, with more paint adhering
to his fingers than his wife re lards as strictly
necessary.
1t is II curious illustration of the perversity
of the female sex that husband with this
fondness for doing littls useful things is held
among wives TO DO even more undesirable
than the kind of husband who is perfectly
useless. lie is charged not only with tiendish
fondness for late hsmmeiing, but is constant

would think of making chips all over the

HOME FOE THE HOLIDAYS.

Now Time has turned with restless hand.
ais hour-glass DER and DER,
And the news goes forth on sea and land
Old Christmas comes once more
There never was cheer like the Christmas cheer
The last, best gift of the dying year
To the weary sons Of men.
The bells are ringing the story old
From out their hrazen thrOats
And millions listen to hear it told
As over the world II floats
The wanderer lears the Joyous sound
'iGod bless the BELLS am hOmeward bound
For Christmas comes again.
In the city's glare he has dwelt alone
Alone in the " madding crowd"
And ceaseless labor no rest has known
Till the bells ring ont so loud
Then over the snow his footsteps glide.
For joy comes back with the Christmas tide.
The peace to the souls Of men.
The joyous call that the bells have rune
Is summons Hove and snsine3--4-s -
The same old song that angels sung
Who ventured on earth 10 roam
Goodwill and peace where the loved ones wait
An eager hand on the cottage gate
Old Christmas comes again.
