A WalkinlT Miracle.SIR. H. R. Stettss:

Itear Sir Though a stranger, I want to in-

form you what VtuETiNEhasdoneforme.lst Chrisuuas Scrofula made its appearance

In my system large running ulcers anpearingon me, as follows; One on ea-- h of my arms,

extended to the seat,one on my thigh, whichone on my head, which eat into the skull hone,one on my left leg, which became so bad thattwo physicians came to amputate the limb,though upon consultation concluded not to doso, as my whole body was so full of Scrofula;they deemed it advisable to cut the sore, w hichwss painful beyond description, and there wasa q uart of matter run from this one sore.

The phy&ii ians all gave me up to die, andsaid they could do no more for me. Both of mylees were drawn up to my seat, and it wasthought if 1 did get up again I would be a crip-ple for life.

When in this condition I saw VEGETIKEadvertised, and commenced taking it in March,and followed on with It nntil I had used six-

teen bottles, and this morning I am going toplough corn, a well man. All my townsmensay it is a miracle to see me round walking andworking.

In conclusion I will add, when I was endur-ing such great suffering, from that dreadfuldisease. Scrofula, I prayed to the Lord above totake me out of this world, but as Veoetixe hasrestored to me the blessings of health, I desiremore then ever to live, that I may he of someservice to my fellow-me- and I Know of nobetter way to aid suffering humanity, than toinclose you this statement of my case, with anearnest hope that you will publish it, and itwill afford me pleasure to reply to any com-

munication which I may receive therefrom.1 am, sir, very respectfully,

Reliable Evidence.Mr. H. R. Stevens:

Dear Sir I will most cheerfully add my testi-mony to the great number you have already re-

ceived in favor of your great and good medicine,VEGETINE, for I do not think enough can besaid in its praise, for I was troubled over 30 yearswith that dreadful disease. Catarrh, and hadsuch bad coughing spells that it would seem asthough I could never breathe any more, andVEGETINE has cured me ; and I do feel tothank God all the time that there is so good amedicine as VEGETINE, aud I also think it oneof the best medicines lor coughs and weak,sinking feelings at the stomach, and adviseeverybody to take the VEGETINE. for I canassure them it is one of the best medicines thatever was,

It Is not necessary for ns to say that the C.A N. W.

for knowledge, different in degiee,

to be eure, still found, to some extent,

in all. Then prepare to feed and stim

elate that desire, by giving to each theproper mental aliment. To a certainexteut that aliment may be the tamefor all, but beyond that the quantityand quality both should differ for in

dividual pupils. The Severe gradiug

aud classification, now so generallypra'sticed in our school, tends greatly

to this process, and can only be avoid

ed by a careful study of the peculiarwants and powers of each pupil, theassignments of lessous aud the hearingOl recltatlOUS to lisvo pil regard tothose varied wants and powers.

The process wholly iguores the natural differences which exist in any body

of pupils brought together from ditier-

entfamilies,dillerent grades of society.

and perhaps different nationalities.They must all be mentally and morallyrecast into one mould, stuffed out tofill it, or compressed on all sides to its

couiDa?. If an active, wide wakepupil would grow.he must be checkedtill tbe dull ones come even with him.If one has a bent for a peculiar kind ofstudy or mental exercise, it must notbe indulged, but brought to the pattern of the mould. The pattern is

found in the teacher's mind, aud may

be a very good one for hiiu and pos-

sibly for a few others, but it will nomore be adapted for a whole school, orany class of it.than the coat or the bootsworn by the teacher for the same pupils. The Creator never intended tomake bis creatnies alike, neither canthey ever be made so by their tenchers.

Mast a teacher who has gladly exchanged the drudgery of the schoolroom for the fancied felicities of otherdepartments of productive labor, whohas learned experimentally that theroses of tnercuntile aud financial lifeare not wholly destitute of concealedthorns, has nibwquetitly joyfully returned to his early chosen vocation,fully convinced that its duties are notexceptionally laborous and drudging.The earnest teacher, like every otherearnest worker, fears not drudgery andseeks not to escape from that which is

essential to the production of the bestresults. Let the conviction once beestablished that through drudgeryalone has tbe most perfect conceptionsof excellence become substantial realities nud the repulsive ideas whichspring into mind at sight or sound ofthat word will quickly disappear.

CHILD NATURE.

Child is social, therefore he masthave companions and not be left to thesolitude of his home. He is active andfond of making keep him busy andhelp him to produce things. He lovesthe earth give hini a garden patch.He is an artist give him music, iinitative aetion, and otner appropriatemeans of expression. He is curiousteach him to think and discover. Heis religions lead him to trust io God.On this last he said: "Godtrust, rock-fir- m God-tru- st has diedoat of tbe world. The Kindergartenshall bring it back so that tbe nextgeneration of children shall be God'schildren."

Here is work for a child not againstthe grain, but with it; notiu violationof God's law in tbe child's nature, batin loving obedience to it. Iustead ofpunishing ti.e lad thst makes picturesnpon his elate, the loving Kindergarten master pats him to making pictore?, and gently shows him how to

s produce with his fingers the picturesthat float in his brains. Instead ofrebuking his curiosity and constructtiveness, the Keilbaa schoolmasteryokes them to bis purpose. Insteadof cheeking the child's sweetest impulse the impulse to play he consecrates it. Jean Paul has said: "Playis tbe child's first poetry." It was

I wise and poetic Baying of a poet. Bat7! Froebel was not a poet, but a

master and a philosopher. Be went

deeper, and said" ; so pre uie word

about play when be called it the 'firstwork of childhood." It is the child'schief business. Use play to serve theends of education yon may, but to doaway with it is the unpardonable einof the prevalent method of t aching.

METROPOLITAN NEWS.

From Our Regular Correspondent.

It would seem a if our city were in thehands of swindlers and confidence peo-

ple. We are apt to laugh at t le credulity of ''country folks," aud when aman is duped by the pocket book game,or some equally well known device of

rogue?, we laugh at his "greenness,"atid congratulate ourselves upon theact that no such mitih.ips could possile befall us. Iu the face of this, not

a day goes by that some one is notdupnd iu the most barefaced manner,

t:d frequently for large sums. Oneday it is a woman professing to ownimmense property in some foreign

The strangest of these chss, however, is that of Mary Stuart, whose historyis now being investigated. A few daysprior to the election, the daily paperscontained a briefuotice of a womauwhohad been assaulted and outraged by aDoiici'iiian. whom she hai asked toshow her to a respectable loJgiug, shehuvinc lost her way. The man wasdischarged, although pointed out byher, for lack of identification. Thecom nent on this by the people whomerely saw the statement, was notvery favorable to the powers that be,and it was hinted that had it not beenuear election, officer Gleason wouldhave been summarily discharged andbrought to trial. It now appears thatthis won.nn has made several suchcharges, and a man is now serving outa sentence of tweaty years in SingSing, the result of a complaint enteredand prosecuted by her; with the possibility that iu this case, as in the lastones, ttie statement was false. Onefeels inclined to ask, in the face ofthese various envs, which .are only afew among many, what our police arevrorth, or whether we have any verygreat reason to Hap our wings and crowover cur country neighbors.

In spite of the fact that Saturdaywas raw and chilly, tbe Coaching Club,or a portion of them, drove out to thePolo Club grounds to engage in thatpopular game. Some of the members,with a few of the ladies, amused themselves with lawn tennis, which is rapidly crowding croquet out of the field.

The Rev. Dr. Field, editor of theNew York Evangelist, inaugurate! thefree course of lectures in Copper Institute, Saturday evening, by giving hisimpression of "Going Around theWorld."

D wight, atStockbridge, Mass. Miss Dwight wasa warm friend of the first Mrs. Field,and while on her deathbed, the latterrequested her friend and husband tomarry. The dying injunction, ia thiscafe, fortunately met with 'the approval of both parties, and they were ableto fulfil it without doing any viuUnceto their own feelings. Unfortunatelythis is not always the ease. A certainwell know senator's wife died andmade a similar request, tbe younglady being her sister. The senatorwould gladly have made bis

his wife. Bat she did not care forhim. Her sister bad wrung the prom-ise from her, and, feeling bound by it,she let her chance of happiness slip by,by refusing the man she really wishedto marry. So the best years of lifeslipped away, until the widower becametired of waiting, and finding a Barkiswho was willing, made her his wife.This absolved the young lady in ques-tion, bat not until the best of ber lifehad been wasted, and too late for herto marry "her own first love."

There will be no disturbanceof any kind unless Democrats, ruledby madness and determined nponsuicide, elect to make it. A large majority of the American people restquietly, pending tbe results of the investigations now iu progress in thethree disputed States, serenely oonftdent that whether Hayes or Tilden is

der its new pilot, to show his heartygood will, after the true maratime cus-

tom. In no instance have I heard anything but acquiescence in the result,counseled by Republicans, neitherduring the first hours of acute depres

than sorry to write that menaces audthreats ef revolution have been made

not insolated eases but so frequentlyand by those of influence iu the partycouncils as to show the drift of Democratic purpose, here at the centralseat of government; and the viciouscourse of leading Democratic papers,iu denouncing tbe aetion of tbe authorities in South Carolina, Louisianaand Florida, in advance of any oppor-

tunity to show whether they wouldlawfully perform their duties or not,and, by insinuations, covertly advis-

ing an uprising by the cohorts of Democracy in case of defeat, has .largelyencouragej the semi treasonable ntterances heard in places where thesurroundings iudicated they would befavorably received.

The Tilden and Hendricks ReformClub have foolu-hl- y determined to eelebrate their candidate's election"whether he is counted out ot in.''Prominent citizens of both politicalparties.it is said, are striving to have themanagers defer the demonstrationuntil it shall be decided that Tildenelected, fearing that such a movementmight provoke much l and badblood, if not a positive riot, in a coinmunity so largely Republican butunsuccessfully so far. Possibly theleaders in the matter have an ilea thatif deferred till that time it may notcome off at all. The members of thecommittee to draft a permanent formof government for this District, afterseveral days devoted to that purpose,have adjourned to meet again the lastof present week when tbey will complete their work and have their reportready on the reasembling of Congress,two weeks hence. It is understoodthat the right of suffrage will not berecommended, and that a governmentby Commissioners as now, will be favored. I do not think their work is satisfactory to citizens generally, so faras it is understood. Members of Con-

gress, returned for the winter, are be-

coming quite common on the street;and the city is fast filling up by thosewho eome to watch proceedings showing what is conceded on all hands will

be, an exceptionally interesting andeventful session, crowded with start-ling situations.

Of course there is much interest attached to tbe election ofpresiding officer of the Senate, andMr. Blaine, though one the youngestmembers of that body, is warm I v urged

for the - place. There appears a de-

termined purpose on tbe part of theDemocra'ic managers, incase tbe for-

mal decision is against Tilden in thedisputed States, to fight for

of the Presidential Chair throughthe courts, and to urge every possibletechnicality against the inaugurationof his Republican competitor; audihave no doubt Washington will bemore torrid place of residence thanany locality within our borders. Therela maeh aatlsfation felt among oar cit-

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.

The Story of a Wagner's New Opera—An OldSailor Myth Set to Music

A Leipsie correspondent of the Boston Adtertiser sends the followip?story of "Der Fliegende Hollander,"Wegner's opera;

In the first place those who look fora comic opera will be disappointed.There is something inherently comicassociated with the name "FlyipgDutchman ;" something that makes onethink of corpulence and big breechesand one naturally expects somethingfunny. Bat the opera is as earnest aseither "I.ohenengriQ" or "Tannhauser" from begin lng to end, the textcontaining many passages of great po-

etical beauty and tenderness. There-fore I think for the title of the operain Euglish "The Flying Hollander"would be more appropriate.

The opening of tbe opera shows aNorwegiau ship driven by the storm toanchor off a part of the coast, milesfrom the Dort of its destination.GieuIlls of guIlsi1ine occasionally lightup the dark expanse of waters, andthen the gray clouds sink down cgaiu.aud then the horizon is lost to sight.As given here this act is one of themost perfect stageillusions I have everseen. The opening of the c iorus is aspirited sailor's soug, shortly follow-

ed by the famous tenor aria, thestorm mau's soug, "Sooth wind, southwind, blow no more!" Then the shipof the flyiug Hollander shoots acrossthe horizon like a flash, aud is moorede!os. by the Norwegian. The Hollander with his phantom crew come onshore. The opening aria of the Hollander is filled with the most intensefeeling. With deep pathos he tells howanother seven years has been passed,and full of weariness he comes againto land. But that which he seeks onshore never can he find, so he mastsail the seas until its last wave breaksaud its last drop dries. How often,.full of longing, has he thrown himselfinto the ocean's deepest depths,, andfouud not death. How often has hedriven hit ship to the foot ofthe rocky cliffs and his grave hasnot closed over him ! How he has metwith the pirate, and in the fiercest bat-

tle hoped for death, but even the pir-

ate has ever Bed before him ! In bisdespair be prays for the speedy comingof the end of the world. Then comesa duel between Daland,tbe Norwegiancaptain, and the Hollander, in whichthe music vividly pictures the jovial,hearty soul of the former in close con-

trast of the gloom which surrounds thelife of the latter, whose every note betrays an intense yearning for the restwhich he ever seeks and never finds,At times in the music the two emotionsseems to mingle, but not to blend, as inthe forrest one often sees the darkbranches of the hemlock interlace withthose of the maple. Where is he from,and how long has he been at sea? Hereplies to Delaud :

How long? I scarce know to answer;r'or now 1 eooui the years no moreWith sights and scenes my brain la throng'

Ing.My ship has touched on many a strand;The only place for which I'm longing1 cannot find, my r'alherland!

He asks Daland to shelter him for awhile under his roof, and for the prvilege he offers all the treasures with

Is which tbe ship is laden costly pearlsand precious stones. Daland than tellshim of his beaotiful daughter at home,and with a gleam of hope the Hollander asks that ths may be his wile.' Daland consents, and the act ends withthe coming of the south winds, thesailing of the ships, and the receptionof the sailor's chorus.

The second act shows a room ia Da- -

lands bouse, where Senta, the daughter is spinning in a company of maidens.The spinning song with which the actopens, is pure melody of the brightestand most bewitching nature; melodyof the kind which sets every foot inthe house to tapping. Senta mean-

while sits silent and looks at a pictureon the wall; a picture of a pale, dark-

ly clothed man, of whom she has bearda legend which she cannot drive fromber mind. The maidens ask Senta totell them the story, and she sings theballad of tbe Flying Hollander; abouta ship flying over the sea. blood-re-

the sail and the black the flying mast;and the pale man the ship's captain,watches ever without rest. But releasefrom tbe spell comes to him if be canfind a wife who will remain true to himnntil death. For once, when tbe Hol-

lander vainly tried to doable a bead-lan- d

in a storm, he swore that be wouldpass that cape if he Lad to try throughall eternity. Satan took him at bisword, and eondemed him to sail thesea forever, without rest, without re-

pose. But God's angel took pity onhim, and showed biin how ke mightfind salvation through a wife whokeeps faithful onto death. So,

"To anchor every seven yean,A wile to woo be vainly goes;for eome tbe years and go the years.And ne'er a faithful wife aisclose.Ho! Up with tbe aail-Yob- ol!

Ho! The anchor loose Yohol!Ho! false love, false trust!To sea away, repose and rest no more!

Overcome by her ballad, Senta cries:"lis I who through her love and faith shallsave thee!May God's dear angel me nnto tbee show!

a Through me snalt inou thine own salvationknow!"Meanwhile Erik.a yoang banter and

Senta 'a lover, enters, and tells of tbecoming of the sbipa. From what bebaa seen he fears that his love ia hope-less, and, on asking Senta, be floda hisfears well grounded. With the arrivalof Daland ai.d tbe Hollander, corneaone of the moat beautiful scenes of theopera; the sudden flashing of hope inthe breast of tbe latter aa he sees tbemaiden, whose picture looks to him out

of the distance past ; the inspired loveof Sent a, who also recognizee the faceof her dreams; and tbe happy, father-ly affection of Daland, are picturedwith wonderful dramatio power.

The scene of the third act is again bythe sea shore. Tbe two snips are moor-

ed by the pier; the Norwegian is tllaminated, and the sailors and merry-makin- g

close by; but the Hollander liesblank and gloomy, and all on board is

still as death. The revelers cry outbut get no answer from the crew. Thesteersmen says:

"They're dead Indeed;Of food and drink tbey have no need

The maidens ask:Have tbey no sweethearts to see on the land.And will tbey not dance with us hereon ihe

strand?But tbe sailors reply:

They're nld and pale Instead of red.And all their aw eel hearts are lorg since

dead.And they return to their merriment.

At last the erew of the Hollanderawake and sing a ghostly song of the(joining storm, of how tbe storm-win-

howls, the wedding music and theocean dances thereto. Erik returnsand hears of the wedding, meets Sentaand reproaches ber. --The

taws near, ana, seeing eeuta aimErik together, he supposes his wifeunfaithful. He calls his crew, aud,despite Senta't entreaties, bids an etcrnal farewell to the land, and he sup-

poses also to his last hope of salvationAs he sails Senta throws herself intotbe sea, "faithful unto death." Tbisbreaks tbe spell, the phantom shipsinks, and tie opera ends with the fulfillment of the angel's promise, asshown by the apotheosis of Senta andthe Hollander.

The opera throughout is iHIed withexquisite melody ; bubbling and sparkling like the clear waters of a moun-tain brook over its pebbly bed ; melodypara and graceful, of the same spon-taneous nature as that which leads asin Mozart's masterpieces : and melody,such a only a great genius can give theworld, and the graceful instrumentation, ever twining and wreathing itselfaround the noble recitative remindsone of nothing so uinch as the ivywhich adorns and enriches the columnsof some grand architectural work.Nothing brings to my mind more forci-

bly the familiar comparison betweenthe two arts, the saying that architecture is froeen music, thau tbe hearingof one of Wagner's operas,

Fun With a Spider.Spiders, in many respects, are just

like other animals, and can be tamedand petted, and taught a great manylessons, and which they will learn asreadily as a dog or cat But you musttake the trouble to study their way",and get on the good side of them. Oneday I had been reading in a book bowspiders managed to get their websacross streams and roads, and from thetop of one tall tree to another. I wentoat and caught a large garden-spide- r,

one of those bine-gra- y, sprawling fel-

lows, and fixed him np for my expertmeni. I took a stick aboot eighteeninches in length, and fastened a pieceof iron to one end of it, so that tbestick would stand upon that end of itself. Then I put this in the center ofa large tub half full of water, andplaced the spider on tbe top of tbestick. I wanted to see if it could get tothe "land," which was the edge of thetub, without any help. He ran downfirst one side of tbe stick and then tbeother; each time he would stop whenhe touched the water, and, shaking bisfoot as the cat does, be would run upagain. At last he came to the couclusion hat he was entirely surroundedby water on an island, in fact. Afterremaining perfectly quiet for a longwhile, daring which, I have no doubt,he was arranging bis plana, he beganrunning around tbe top of the stick.andthrowing out great coils of web with hishind feet. In a few miautea little fine

strings of web were floating away in thelight breeze that was blowintr. After alittle, one of these threads touched tbeedge of the tub and stack fast, as all spider-we- will do. Tbia waa just whatMr. Spider was looking for, and thenext minute he took hold of his weband gave it a jerk, as a sailor doeswhen he wishes to aee bow strong it la

or make it fast. Having satisfied himself that it was fast at the other end,he gathered it in till it waa tight andstraight.and then ran on it to the shore

Stephen Allen's Pocket-Piec- e.

In the pocket-boo- k of the Hon. Stephen Allen, who waa drowned from onboard the Henry Clay, was found a printed slip, apparently cut from a newspaper,of which the following is a copy. It isworthy to be placed in every newspaperand engraven on the heart of everyyoung man:

"Keep good company, or none. Never be idle. If your hands can't be usefully employed, attend to the cultivationof your mind. Always speak the truth.Make few promises. Live up to yourengagement Keep your own secretsif you have any. When you speak to aperson look him in the face. Good com-pany and good conversation are thevery sinews of virtue. Good characteris above all things else. Your charactercannot be essentially injured except byyour own acts. Ifany one "speaks evilof you, let your life be so none will be-

lieve him. Drink no intoxicating li-

quors. .Every live (misfortune excepted)witnm your income. When you retireto bed, think over what you have beendoing during the day. Make no haste tobe rich, if you would prosper. Smalland steady gains give competency witha tranquil mind. Never play at anygame of chance. Avoid temptation:through fear you may not withstand itEarn money before you spend it Neverrun into debt unless you see a way toget out again. Never borrow ifyou canpossibly avoid it Do not put off until tomorrow that which should be done to-day. Do not marry until you are able tosupport a wife. Never speak evil of anyone. Be just before you are generous.Keep yourself innocent if you would behappy. Save when you are young, tospend when you are old. Read over theabove maxima at least one a week."

NONE FAULTLESS.

A friend who has a great liking for agood horse, once said to me that he hadbeen seeking for a perfect horse for fortyyears, but without success. During thistime he has been the owner of manyhorses, and some of them good ones;but not one of them all was faultless.This one had some physical defect; thatone was vicious; another was skittish;another was lacking in speed; and so onto the end of the chapter. Not one ofthem all came up to his standard of horseperfection.

And so it is with respect to the humankind. There is no one of all the race ofman faultless. With the single exceptionof the Lord Jesus Christ, who was bornwithout sin, no one of all the humanfamily has developed a perfect character."If we say that we have no sin, we de-

ceive ourselves, and the truth is not ious."

There maybe persona distinguishedfor their various excellencies. Theremay be those possessing much amiabil-ity. There may be those whom, like theyoung ruler, the Saviour lovedryet likehim, they are all lacking in some one ormore essential. So do they appear inthe sight of God, who searches the heart,2nd so do they appear in the view of allwho are intimately acquainted ur3t.them. There is something about everyperson that detracts from his excellence,something that neetLielirnination. Thereis something in him that needs to bepruned away, before he can be preparedfor the faultless society of the heavenlyworluv

And this is what God is doing with respect to all those whom he is prepp.ringfor that world. By one means and an-other, by all his discipline of them here,he is refining them, and fitting them forthat blest abode, where all shall be perfect even aa he is perfect He is thusmaking them meet to be partakers ofthe inheritance of the saints in IitrhtThe process in some instances may bepainfuL It may be hard for poor humannature to bear. But let us be patientand submissive. The work will soon becomplete, and the result glorious. Whenhe shall have tried us, we shall comeforth from the furnace as gold. Therewill be no dross remaining in us, therewill be no adhering imperfection. Weshall be without blemish and withoutspot Of the saints in heaven it is said::There are they that have come out ofgreat tribulationa, and have washed theirrobes, and made them white in the blood
