q THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTN4S.n


TWAS the night after Christmas, and all

Not a creature was sleeping excepting the mouse
The stockings were flung in haste over the chair
For hopes of st. Nicholas no longer We're there.
The children were restlessly tossing in bed
For the pie and the candy were heavy as lead.
While mamma in her kerchief, and l in my

When out on the lawn there arose sucha clatter,

Flung open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

And the beard his chin was white with the

He spoke few words and went straight to his

He felt all the pulses-then turned with jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
With nod of his head, to the chimney he goes
" A spoonful of oil, ma am, If you have 1t handy,
No nuts and no raisins; no pies and no candy;
Those tender young stomachs cannot well digest
All the sweets that they get; toys and books are

JEWELS OF THE GROWN OF SCOT .
LAND

AT Edinburg, Scotland, some years
since, the Jewels of the Crown were
locked In box, that box in another,
until they were supposed to be burglar
proof. They were then locked up in
the vault OF the castle, there to rem ain
for one hundred years, the keys being
placed in mortar and fired into the
sea. Scarce fifty years passed by, and
| the modern leck-picker opens the vault
and boxes without trouble. So the sci
ence of medicine, when studied with the
aid of chemistry and the microscope, be-
comes plain and simple, and diseases
that were regarded incurable genera
ton ago, now readily yield to remedies
employed by the modern and progress
sive physician. A decade of years since,
and women were taught to believe that
their peculiar diseases and weaknesses
were incurable; but now hundreds and
thousands of once bedridden women in
the United States will testify to the fact
that Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has effected their perfect and perma-
nent cure.
TOLEDO, Ohio. Dec. 9Th, 1876.
DIR. r. v. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-About five years since my
wife was taken sick, and though we en-
ployed the best physicians in our city,
yet she gradually grew worse, so that
she was confined to the bed. Every
remedy I had tried, or could find, failed
to cure or even give relief. At last
procured bottle of your Favorite Pre-
scription and to my surprise it gave al
most instant relief, and with little per.
severance, an entire cure was effected
Ever gratefully yours,
GEO. BODENMIILER.

FIsH.-The operations of the Fish
Commission. especially in reference to
shad, have been very successful this
spring. Colonel Mcdonald, of Licking
ton, informs US that the hatchery on the
Sound has enabled him to supply great
quantities of the young fish to Roanoke
river and some to Appomattox, while
the establishment at Berkeley on the
James, where the Commissioner is now
engaged, is daily supplying him with
young fish for the James and Pamun-
key. The results, too. of what was
done two years ago at Berkeley begin tc
show themselves, male shad of two years
of age, Matched there and placed in the
river, being this year very plentiful
The male "runs" year before the roe
shad, and next year we may expect the
roe shad in quantities.
All that remains to secure great in
crease in our food fishes is to have close
time; say, as in New York, from Friday
night to Monday morning, during which
no sets or nets shall be hauled or set, SO as
to give the fish time to reach its spawn
ing grounds. This, with the abolition Of
fykes and traps, would soon insure re-
turn to abundance in the fish supply.
It is already apparent, the Commits
sioner says, that the fishermen and the
jewellers on all our rivers begin to ap-
preciate the Importance of fish protec-
tion and propagation, and public opin
ion is rapidly establishing itself which
will aid the system and give it steady
support.-Rich. State.
