Merrily, merrily, 
Cbirae Christmas bells. 
One at the altar stands, 
Bound with love’* golden bands,

Gleam 'mid her shining hair, 
Rest on her bosom fair, 
Hope fill* the ambient air 
With rainbow light. 
Merrily chime,

Mournfully, mournfully, 
Peal Christmas bells. 
Since last your tones were told, 
Hearts have grown chill and cold, 
Homes »ad and lone. 
Darkening each hill and plain,

Death will a victor reign,

DECEMBER. 
To-day the sky is shrouded, thick and grey, 
And nature droops her sail and down-cast eyes, 
Gazing anon with meek and mute surprise, 
To watch the starry snow Hake* whirl and play. 
Old Winter sits at last upon his throne, 
Grim, chilling, ghost like, ns in year- gone by; 
A freezing *mlR lights up his shaggy eye, 
His voice is like the North wind’s wailing moan 
And these, his messenger*, gay, sprightly things, 
Bring back rare memories in golden shrouds— 
Sweet chimes of silver holla, swift, dying sleds, 
And the long winter evening gatherings. 
A gush of merry voices Dlls the air, 
Gay shouts of laughter ceho far mid near; 
The children love the twilight, of the year— 
Let us be young With them, and laugh at care.

Estel prided himself upon his patience and 
calmness, but he was now visibly discomposed. 
Meanwhile Lu, his daughter, and 1, were lay- 
ing our heads together over a plot peculiar]y 
feminine. Lu Estel had been my “clmm” ai 
school, and ray confidante since. 1 was spend¬ 
ing a few weeks with her in her country home, 
and already our wild pranks had astonished the

until it shone with true African.blackness. My 
white apron was soiled,- my collar hung limp 
aud starchless, and the glossy curls, my especial 
pride, were in a terrible state ol disorder, there¬ 
fore. it. may be easily imagined, I was not ex¬ 
actly prepared to receive callers. 
“Miss Lansing,” said the .Judge, gravely, as 
they approached, “allow me to introduce my 
staid villagers, therefore the Judge was not as friends, Mr. Blair and Ur. Gordon, of M

much surprised as he otherwise would have 
been, when we announced our plan. 
“ You take their places, Indeed,” he said, 
somewhat contemptuously. “An authoress and 
a housekeeper would look well by the side oJ 
our sturdy workmen. No, no, girls. Keep to 
your pen, Miss Sue, and Lucy may sweep the 
house and wash the dishes. I'll manage some¬ 
how.” 
But somehow appeared to be a very poor way, 
for in less than five minutes he thrust his head 
through the open door, and added, 
“ Well, girls, if you will be romps, come along. 
You're better than vn help. 1 suppose.” 
Although not relishing the uncomplimentary 
style of the Judge’s last remark, we concluded 
to quietly pocket the affront, as we were wild for 
a frolic, and prove by our deeds bow unjust was 
that depreciatory sentence. 
I could no longer restrain my risiblca, and my 
shout of laughter was echoed by the gentlemen. 
Mr. Blair was the editor ol a well-known pe¬ 
riodical iu the neighboring village, to whose 
paper I had contributed frequently. I knew 
that he was expected at my host's residence, and 
had intended to astonish him by my lady-like 
grace and intelligence. 1 had astonished him, 
evidently, although not exactly in the proposed 
manner. 
Fortunately, the Judge succeeded in procur¬ 
ing other help for the afternoon, so we made our 
way home as speedily as possible, and leaving 
the gentlemen iu the vine-covered piazza, re¬ 
paired to our own room. Through the open 
casement came the tones of their voices in earn¬

F. L. Cagwin, Esq.—Dear Sir I received your letter of 
April 23, to-day. 1 have had from infancy one very deaf 
ear, and always discharging more or less offensive matter 
This year both ear* became diseased, run ring very much, 
very offensive, producing the greatest debility of body and 
depiession of spirits, and my healing unpaired in the high¬ 
est degree. In such a condition I plaeed myself nnder the 
care of Dr. LigUthitl. 1U* has fully restored me. I hear 
well: the dizziness aud the discharge have been removed, 
and have not returned. The stopping of the rnnning has 
given me the highest elasticity and vigor of body aud a flow 
of spirits, while my fears wete, that stopping the discharge 
would prove detrimental or dangerous.

From the Rev. P, R. Russell, Lynn, Mass. 
1 have been much troubled with catarrh of the worst 
typo for some 20 years. It gradually grew worse, produc¬ 
ing cough and hoarseness, destroying the sense of smell, 
and breaking down my general health to such a degree as 
to compel me to resign my pastorate and suspend public 
speaking. 
I made diligent use of the usual remedies, such ns snuffs 
of different kiuds, alt rat* of silver, tar water, olive tar, aud 
inhalations, but without any very salutary effects Last 
Summer I heard of Dr. Liglithtll’s successful modeol treat¬ 
ing catarrh, visited him. and put myself under his treat¬ 
ment. 1 began immediately to improve, and this improve¬ 
ment has gone on to the present time. My catarrh has 
gradually melted away, my cough has disappeared, my 
voice has become natural, and I am once more able to 
preach the blessed Gospel. Let mo advise all troubled 
with catarrhal difficulties to apply to Dr. Lightbill.
