CrOyIi well.


On the morning of the LIST of May,
1887, there occurred an incident that,
unnoticed at the time, afterward proved
to be one of the turning points of his
tory. Eight immigrant ships lay In
the l nalnes ready to sail. A body of
pilgrims were about to embark, and
Oliver Cromwell and his famous cous-
IN, John Hampden, were among them.
But they were stopped at the landing
by guard of soldiers. The king had
decreed that his subjects should not
leave England. Cromwell stayed, and
with him, as Maeaulay wrote, stayed
the evil genius of the house Of Stuart"
Had Cromwell and his friends been al
lowed to carry out their project of en-
igratlon the whole history of the Eng

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known i'll many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, eatarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms OF
scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it liz n wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all.

1t would surprise good many per.
sons probably to hear that Punch and
Judy Is Chinese institution, but
there seems to be good ground for the
supposltion, according to correspond
ent of a London paper. who says: "a
few years ago | witnessed at a garden
party given by the general then COM
handing the troops in Hongkong the
exhibition of Chinese Punch and
Judy, which had been brought down
from Canton. The general arrange
ments were precisely the same as those
of an English Punch and Judy, the
only difference being that instead Of
the dog Toby there was wooden
figure with clapping jaws, supposed
TO represent a dragon.
''The costumes were Chinese, and
the piece varied In some respects from
that which we see In England, but all
/ the characteristic features were the
same. The lesser mandarins were duly
knocked over by the big mandarin,
with just the same satisfactory whack
as that with which Punch disposes Of
Judy and Jack Ketch, and all the ac-
cessories of voices. pipes and scenery
correspond to those of the English
performance"

A QUEER EXPERIENCE.

You all know what q fondness l have

my father would appear in the doorway
with the big backlog coated with snow,
often of ampler girth than himself and
fully breast high to him as he held it
upright, canting it one way and anoth-
er and walking 1t before him on its
wedge shaped end. He would perhaps
stand 1t against the chimney while he
took breathing spell and planned his
campaign. Then, the andirons hauled
forward on the hearth and the bed OF
half burned brands and live Goals raked
open, the ley log was walked into the
chimney, where skillful turn would
lay 1t over, kissing and steaming, In its
lair of hot embers. 1t seemed thing
alive, and its vehement suffering and
protesting made IL dramatic moment for
at least one small spectator.
The stout shovel and tongs or perhaps
Il piece of flrewood used as lever
would force 1t against the chimney
back; then u good sized stick, called a
back stick" was laid on top of it, and
the andirons were set in place. Across
the andirons another good sized stick
was laid, called fore stick" and In
the interspace smaller sticks were
crossed and thrust and piled, all quick
ly kindled by the live Goals and brands.
In very cold weather fire was kept
burning all night, our father getting up
once or twice to replenish 1t. Even In

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send
