There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma.
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear.

cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.

At last the blow fell, and Christ
mas had no longer home either
in Old or New England. In 1863
the general court Of Massachusetts
enacted that anybody who Is found
observing, by abstinence from labor,
feasting or any other way, any such
day as Christmas, shall pay for every
such offense five shillings;" and one
of the blue-laws of Connecticut for
babe reading Common Prayer, keep
ing Christmas or Saints days, max
ing minced-pi dancing, card play
ing, or playing on any instrument
except the drum, trumpet and Jews
harp. So Christmas, which the
Plymouth Pilgrims had silently con
demned, old Christmas, the cheer
full personification of English tradi-
ton, of charity and universal good
feeling, of blameless gayety and re-
ligious JOY, was outlawed in New
England. The kindliest spirit of
the old form of faith was prescribed
in prohibiting Christmas; the freest
spirit of the new form was wronged
in banishing Roger Williams.

WINTER.

Down swept the chill wind from the
mountain peak,
From the snow five thousand sum-
mers old;
On open void and hilltop bleak
1t had gathered all the cold.
And it hurled 1t like sleet on the
wanderers cheek
1t carried a shiver everywhere,
From the unleafed boughs and pas
lures bare;
The little brook heard it and built a
roof
Meath which he could house him,
winter proof;
All night by the white stars frosty
CLEANS
He groined his arches and matched
his beams;
Slender and clear were his crystal
spars
AS the lashes of light that trim the
stars;
He sculptused every summer delight
In his halls and chambers out of
sight;
Sometimes his tinkling waters slipped
Down through a frost-leaved forest
crypt,
Long, sparkling aisles of steel-stem-
med trees
Bending to counterfeit breeze;
Sometimes it was simply smooth and
clear,
For the gladness Of heaven to shine
through, and here
He had caught the nodding bulrush
tops
And hung them thickly with diamond
drops
That crystalled the beams of moon
and sun,
And made star of everyone:
No mortal builders most royal device
Could match this winter place Of ice;
Twas as if every image that mirrored
lay
In his depths serene through the sum-
mer day,
Each feeting shadow of earth and
sky,
Lest the happy model should be
lost,
Had been mimicked in fairy masonry
BY the elfln builders of the frost.

let him go to the pen and get touch

Murphy asked for his parents sake
that he be given good position and

request.

THE DUTCH and CHRISTMAS


While their neighbors upon Mas
sachusetts Bay were observing
Christmas, the Dutch at New Am
sterdam gladly welcomed and hon
ored him, and nowhere has he been
so truly at home upon the continent
as in the Dutch City. The charac-
ter of the inhabitants naturally de-
termined that of the day. 1t was
less an ecclesiastical festival than a
social and domestic holiday. The
glittering tree of gifts was its light
ed and decorated alter, and hearty
good eating and drinking were its
genial ceremonial rites. Hereditary
Dutch pride sometimes looks ask
ance and even angrily at Deidrick
Knickcrbocker's story; but if is
plain that the gay exaggeration of
the old chronicler only emphasized
the truth, and that his humorous
imaginative touch producing a like
ness as accurate as that of Brad
ford of the Pilgrims, or that of
Winthrop and Sewell of the Puri-
tans. The tranquil, contented bur-
ghers whom he drew were sure to
10. Of (fh ,cf, do
and their neighbors who cursed it
must have seemed to them the most
whimsical of lunatics.
1t was natural that the genius
which described those burghers with
so subtitle a sympathy should seem
to be kindred with them. Indeed,
there was so much of the true
Kniclkerbocker spirit in Irving that
he is usually supposed, by those who
do not reflect, to be of Dutch de-
scent. 1t is this quality, perhaps
this ready sympathy with cheer
full and simple domestic enjoyment,
which made the author of Knicker-
bocker's History the laureate of En-
glish Christmas. The holiday that
he describes affects him as it affect
ed the citizens of New Amsterdam, as
a day of pleasure consecrated by
religious association. And the en-
during popularity of his charming
essay shows that this is the Christ
mas of the English-speaking race.
Even the New England air which
was SO black with sermons that it
suffocated Christmas, now murmurs
softly with Christmas bells. The
children of the resolute God fearing
men who did not rest from labor on
the first Christmas morning now rest
and rejoice in the happy day whose
dawn is benediction.

LUTHER ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

Luther's protest was not against
the frescoed galleries and the foun-
tanned gardens of the Vatican, not
against the mistletoe and the kiss
ing under it, nor the MINISTRIES on
| Christmas eve, and the children's
happiness; not against Christmas,
but the abuse of Christmas; not
against pictures but the worship
Of pictures; not against statues, but
againstidols. One of the most signif-
icant and characteristic pictures of
him represents him sitting on Christ
mas eve at the family table, with
his wife and the beautiful Catharene
Bora, at his side, holding her infant,
while the other children stand de
lighted around him. Luther him.

playing with the strings. He and
his wife and mother, and all the
children and the guests are looking
happily upon the Christmas tree
that stands upon the table, glitter

are profusely heaped about it; and
a huge tankard stands before Faith
er Luther amidst fruit and bread.
The blessing of domestic peace and
joy rests upon the scene.
THE PURITAN AND CHRISTMAS.
The difficulty of REFRESHING the

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.

Pittsburg Penn, May 25.-Heler
NJ. Gouger, of Indiana, a strong
broad gauge advocate, arrived to-day.
There are just three things which |
ask" she said, "and if the convention
refuses | shall withdraw my support
from the national ticket. The Prohibi-
ton platform must declare for prohibi-
ton. womans suffrage and financial re-
form"
Mrs. Cougar went on to say that il
the convention failed TO do this all the
active advocates would withdraw with
her, leaving a lot of old fossils without
influence beyond that they possess at
the weekly prayer meetings" to man
age the campaign. She and the others
believing in the broad gauge will go
back. she says, to their respective States
and work for their State tickets, ignor-
ing the national ticket. She is conf
dent that the broad guagers' Will win,
but believes there will be lively hgnt.
She is an ardent admirer of Ex-Governor
st. John. and believes that he repre-
sents the sentiment Of the rank and
file Prohibitionists west of the Ale
gheny mountains, just as Mr.. Warwell
treasurer of the Standard Oil Company,
of New York, represents the gold stand
ard Proh;bitionists of the east. She de-
clared that Chairman Dickle, OF the
National Central Committee, Gid not
represent the sentiment OF Michigan
which. she says. is for free silver. he
represents Mr.. Wardwell and the goid
standard men," she said, whence
comes his salary"
All this goes to show the acrimonious
feeling which exists in the party be
tween the broad gauge" or free silver,
and the single issue, or gold standard
wings of the party. Each side is con-
fdent of victory and each is preparing
for bitter fight.
