\ CHRISTMAS LEGEND.-A pretty Ger
man legend of the Christmas time is told in
many of the cottage homes of that country.
suggestive of kindly impulse and unselGsh-
ness. 1t relates how, on one Christmas Eve.
when the night was dark and the snow was
falling. fast, Herman, the charcoal burner,
drew his cloak tighter around him and ap-
preached his lonely hut in the woods. while
the wind whistled fiercely through the trees
of the Black Forest He was poor and
wor ked hard 10 support his little family.
and many were his cares and his trials,
which did not, however, permit his kind
heart 10 forget the misfortuncs Of others.
Before he reached the little hut where he
had toncd at his work through many a day,
he on this stormy night. heard II low. plain
tive call, as Of Il child in distress. Guided
by the sound, he CROPPED about and found Il
little one, alone. and shivcring in the cold.
scantily clad, near the door of his own
hut.
In reply to tho kind man : tender words
OF sympathy at finding the forsaken child
where it must needs have persisted of cold
and hunger, the little one could utter no re-
ply, but spoke with bcseechng ewes the
gratitude ne iclt Tor his dcllVcrancc. as the
good man wrapped his cloak around his
shivcring limbs and carried him to his cot
taGc home
When he opened the door, lie exclaimed.
Here. wife. is IL guest to our Christmas
Eve supper; ana lc led the new ooraer Tx,
his tiny hand to the blazing hearth fire,
where he soon rcgained the necdful warmth
and comfort
And welcome he is, said the wife ':Let

BEYOND THE RIVER.
AWAY ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI is HELD A
CONVINCING CONVERSATION,

I'D a
CONVINCING CONVERSATION.
Il tell you sir, that they are one of the ncatcst
combinations ever produced, and my experience
OF that sort of thing has been wide enough to en-
title my Judgment to some respect"
oh, Idon't kAow," responded the first speakers
friend, with little yawn, as though he didn't take
much interest in the subject, Il have never been
able to sec much difference in those things. They
are all pretty nearly the same size, and made of
about the same stuff"
The talk, of which the foregoing is a fragment
took place i'll Galiatin, Missouri, not long ago, in
the snug office of Dr. NJ P Flowers, one of the
leading physicians of the State, who followed up
the wien in which he had introduced it substan-
TALLY in these words:
Nonsense, that is the rigmarole OF Il boy. or
rather OF man who either doesn't know or
doesn t care what he says Those things as YOU
call them, are just different the moon is from
green cheese. Now, linmcnts, lotions and ONT
ments are very good in most cases for the relief
of pain or inflammation. But in the first place
they are unclean. They soil the hands and the
llnen besides being always out of reach when
they are most wanted
Well, my dear Doctor sighed the traveller from
the North, what would you have? This is
wretched world anyhow, and nothing is ever at
hand when it is wanted. You can't suggest any
thing"
Yes, can, broke in the Doctor, humping the
table with his fist, 81 can suggest BENSON'S
CAPClNE POROUS PLASTER Ihave tried it
on my patients, and l have tried it on myself for
an attack of Neumona, and in all cases relief has
followed in from three to forty. eight hours. The
oid piasters are stage coaches-the Capcine is a
Geographic dispatch. For instance, in cases of
Neuralgia, Muscular Rheumatism, Lumbago re.
tarded action of the Kidneys, and -"
give it up, Doctor, and in case of need I'll
buy benson's' said the traveller, pleasantly
In the center of the genuine is CUT the word
CAPCINE.
