The sweet Christ-month, the month that Love ‘ was born, That ever was an alien until now, What though the blossoms hang not on the bough, What though the earth of beauty’a place be shorn ‘7 L0! in the wnods, beneath the frost-kissed hill. The holly lights the pathâ€"December‘s rose - And underneath the scarlet berry grows, As if to tell us Love 18 living still : Living, albeit under ruder skies 2 Though the glad g1 ry nf the year be past. Wich frost and death Lovelingeu s to the last, And in Love’s breast her blossom never dies. ‘Tis nursed with thoughts that come with Christmas chimeâ€"- That “gmcious time" when Love and Peace are crowned, When the world’s woes in one great joy are drowned: The summer of the soul is Christmas-time. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. Is it but fancy ? 0n the midnight air Forever sound those wild harm rnious belle; Through vacant vales and long-deserted dells Mysterious anthems echo everywhere. In deepest solitude the Christian’s soul Stirs to a. thrill of some strange touch divine; Apart from shrines, he heeds the sacred sign That holds the world in Love’s sublime control. â€"â€"A. T.

Oh, if you only could be with me! Is it not awful to think of having no woman friend near meâ€"not a. soul I ever saw before!

I am glad of that,” returned Miss Delvigne, who had listened with grave attention. An hour later Miss Delvigue was on her road to Mrs. Coleman’s, M3001 opanied by the second Eughsh governess, as she had requested leave to walk to Saranoga. Lodge, the weather being very fine, mad the dinner was strictly a. family gathermg. About half way down Hamilton Terrace, a. gentleman passing in a. haneom looked somewhat eagerly at the two ladies. who were walking leisurely along, and, after allowing the cab to go ahead some little way, made the driver pull up, alighted, dismissed him, and turned to meet the pedestrians. The gentleman was young, slight, svelte, most elegantly and carefully dressed, and had a. touch of soldien iy hear- ing in his gait and carriage. He made a halt when he met the two ladies. “ MISS Delvigne, I think,” he said, raising his hat with much deference. “ May I venture to recall myself to your memory ? I had the pleasure of dancing with you at Mrs; Coleman’s party some time ago.”_ “ Yes; I feel flattered by you remember- ing i_t.j’ “I remember‘you' quine well,”usa.id the little heiress, with her usual unheaimting straightforwardness ; “ Your name is Comp- ton ? ” " I have a good memory.” said Miss Del- vigne shortly; and Gomptom walked on a. few paces in silence, utterly at a. loss how to recommence the conversation, yet piqued and attracted by the cool self-pos- session of the little French governess. “ I suppose you don’t get much in the way of partles end denomg up here?" he said at last. “Pray let me know when you decide upon such a step,” said Sir Frederic, laugh- ing, and “ I will try to be under it at; the right moment.” “ No, indeed! nothing but grind, grind, grind, from morning till night.

He gave a. slight nod and peculiar glance as he said this, which convayed to his bearer the conviction that he understood the obieet of her remarks, and added in a. lower tone and with some emphasis, " Believe me Neville will not fail those who trust him.’ 1‘ Tam mieuz," said Miss Delvigne in the same tone, as if a little ashamed of the enthusiasm with whiqh aha h§q»spo)_xe_n. _ “ You have conjured up a. delightful pic. ture,” resumed Compton, forgetlzing the presence of Miss Green, for the fire and boldness of the little French governess, as he thought her, hand roused him and stirred his blood. “ 1 shall dream of such a girl as you descrlbe for many a. day to come. and imagine the fancy that can paint such epicture must be inspired by a. similar nature,” stealing a look into her eyes. “ Pooh l nonsense,” returned Miss Del- vigne, with a. piquant little “ mou ” ; “ it is all very well to say that, but I dare say you are laughing at me in your sleeve as a. romantic, gushing school-girl!

" She is not exactly pretty, but what eyes she bus when they hght up, and what a sweet. little disdainful mouth! Pooh] what an idiot I am to think about her! But I should like to have another chat with her. How shall I manage it 7” He little thought how" soon, and under what circumstances, the desired meeting would come about. One bright morning about a week after this conversation a cab, with a single box and a single inmate, drew up to the foot- way of the Edgware Road. near to where was the once famous gate of Tyburn. Close by stood a brougham and pair, and a soldierly, distinguished-looking man was strolling up and down, with an air of re- pressed impatience and expectation. The cab drew up ; the watcher rushed to open the door, and emancipated a young lady, with pale cheeks and large lustrous eyes, suffused with tears and otherwise evincing emotion in her bearing. Neville, who was of course the gentleman in waiting, how- ever, hastily handed her into the brougham, paid the cabman, saw the box transferred to his own conveyance, and, ordering the coachman to drive fast, stepped in and they were off at a rapid pace across the Park. In a few minutes, it seemed to Marie Delvigne, they stopped before the entrance to Kensington Church. Here stood Sir Frederic Compton, the faithful Simmons, and arespectable-looking female, suitably attired, of an uncertain age. _ She was simply dressed in blue and white, and a. bewitching lime bonnet of straw and lace and com-flowers seemed made for her face. and the face for the bonneb.

She had neither lather, mother, family, nor home to break away from; life had been hard and lonely to her. nor did it ofier much of hope or hr'ghtnese;â€"why then should she reject the loving ofier of a strong, tender, honor- able protector? But now that she realized, what it was to come alone to her wedding she felt too terrified and ashamed of her own boldness to show her shame. Hope, fear, past, present, and future, all centered in the man whom a. few minutes more would be her lord legally, as he was already really_ the master of her fate. “ Wheeler," said Neville, addressing the orthodox female above mentioned. “ this il yoga miptrega." ' Wheeler dropped a. respectful courtesy.

Can’t get round no way." “What a. nuisance! " exclaimed Neville. “We shall miss the train." He sprang out instinctively to assist, either with hands or head, the prostrate animal.

" I do not feel inclined either to read or eat.” said Marie, with». sweet, shy smile, looking into Neville’s eyes for the first time since they were men and wife. “ An hour to wait," said Neville, seating himself by his bride.

J aok McLean, who for fifty years has been a resident of Norfolk and Portsmouth. and who is as well known: in Norfolk and Portsmouth as almost any of its citizens. 1t was in reply to some questions put to him by our reporter. who had heard of his remarkable cure, as well As of others that through Mr. McLean’s instrumentality. had been brought about by the use of St. Jacobs Oil. After he had told the story of his own case, we asked him about the others, and he did not hesitate to relate them. One wee the cue of s. druggist from Wsr- . renton, North Carolina, who, while, on a business trip to Norfolk during the recent snowy end sleety spell. had the misfortune to tell on the ice and bruised himself very severely. so much so that he was confined to his room at his hotel. Mr. McLean visited the hotel when he heard of the occi- dent and having formed the acquaintance of the gentlemen injured, advised him to give St. Jacobs Oil I trial. The druggist con- senting, Mr. McLean brought him some of his Oil. which he applied, and with such a happy result, that he was enabled to go on his way home rejoicing. Another case, was that of Mr. Walter Howard, s. well~known lien end oyster dealer in our city. Mr. Hoqu hed eleo during the recent sleety spell fallen and injured himself. Being intimate with Mr. Howard, Mr. MoLenn says he sought him, and finding what his injuries were. he recommended the use of the Oil. The result as in the previous one was a cureâ€"end a. thorough cure. Mr. Howerd is now e. firm believer in the cure- tive properties of St. Jacobs Oil. _ Bdt a- more remarkable cure than all of the restâ€"and which our reporter had heard of before having any knowledge of Mr. McLean’s connection with the caseâ€"â€" was that of a venerable lady about 70 years of age, who, some two weeks ago, while seated at the supper-table, was stricken with paralysis, the whole of her left side being afflicted. Her speech was even af- fected. The family physician was sent for, and he at once prescribed the usual remedies, but without efiect. The old lady was a family connection of the wife of Mr. McLean. and Mrs. McLean on hearing of her aflliction visited the house, and learn- ing that no relief had been secured trom the physician's remedy, recommended the use ct St. Jacobs Oil, relating its effect upon her husband. The Oil was procured and applied. The at- flicted side was well rubbed and partial feeling was restored. The second day after the first application the afflicted lady was able to sit up. and the third day she was well enough to sew. Since then she goes about the house apparently as well as she ever was, and she considers that she ewes her life to the great curative virtues contained in St. Jacobs Oil. These state- ments 0! cures coming to our notice from our interview with Mr. McLean, brought to our recollection a statement made to us by Prof. G. B. Cromwell. who last Feb- ruary exhibited in our city his beautiful “ Art illustrations” at the Opera House. which each night attracted crowded and cultivated audiences. It was in connection with his recommendation to a gentleman who was sufiering a great deal from Rheu- 1 matism, and who on that account had been unable to attend the exhibitions. Prof. Cromwell advised him to try St. Jacobs Oilâ€"even urged him to do soâ€"and at last bought him a bottle of the Oil, that he might have no excuse for not using. The gentleman, however. was then under the treatment of his physician. and did not use the Oil. In explanation of the desire on his part why the Oil should be used, Prof. Cromwell stated that he had some year or so before suffered excruciating torments from Rheumatism, and that he had tried all kinds of medicines and so-called cures â€"all without effect. He heard. however.. of St. Jacobs Oil. and resolved to give it a trial. which he did, and he stated that its efieot on him was almost magical. A com- ‘ plete cure was sfiected, and since then he had never suflered from Rheumatism. But in order that he might be at all times prepared for the enemy. he never travelled without carrying in his trunk a bottle or so of St. Jacobs Oil. A deficiency of $10,000 has been dis- covered in the accounts 0.! Frank Guevido, ex-Socretory of the Deportment 0! Parks, Brooklyn. J. B. T. Stu-snub“, ox-Presi- float of the Dopu-tmont, has mad. the deficiency good. While the above facts relate to the very remarkable curative properties of this Great German Remedy, it appears, judging from what our druggists say, that the be- lie! in its virtues is wonderfully strong among the people of all classes, and that they secure it as a sure relief from pain. No patent medicine, it is asserted,has ever had the sale that St. Jacobs Oil has had. No doubt much of this has been due to the extensive use of printers’ ink, in the way of advertisements, almanaos, posters, sign bills, cards. puzzles, and everything in the printing line. But the many and many of certified cures and the interest which they have excited have had a vast deal to do with its popularity. It is sought by all. and is a boom to our druggiets. Yesterday we detailed a reporter to Visit the difierent drug establishments and to learn from them some facts regarding the sale of the Oil. He visited. among others, the house of Walks (2 Williams, and saw Dr. Walke, who informed him that the demand for the ‘ Oil was simply wonderful. He stated that it exceeded the demand for any patent medicine he had ever handled, and this was saying a great deal, as Dr. Walke has been engaged in the drug business for many years, and the business of his house is very great. He next called on the old and well-known drug house of M. A. a O. A. Santos. The senior at the house was not in, but his son was approached, and he said in reply to the inquiry of our reporter, that the sale of St. Jacobs Oil was tremen- dous-«never anything like it. He next visited the extensive establishment of J. W. Burrow, and finding that gentleman present, asked him: “ How about the sale of St. Jacobs?” His reply was: “Splen- did; the demand is very great. I make large sales of the Oil." The drug store of Dr. H. R. Vaughan was next sought. and in answer to our reporter's interrogatory, Dr. Vaughan readily answered: " My sales have been remarkable: The Oil goes fast.” We only conclude after the above state- ments of cures and sales that there is a. great deal in St. Jacobs Oilâ€"end that where the benefsetions have been so great, the Messrs. Vogeler & 00. may well be classed as benefwtors~ deserving the blessings of the multitude who have been cured. NORFOLK (YA-5 VIBGINIAN- l'l‘ IILI ENTERED THE CAPITOL BUILDINGS.

Electricity feeds the brain and muscles ; in sword it is Nature’s food. The Electric Oil possesses all the qualities that it is possible to combine in a medicine, thereby giving it a wide range of application as an internal and external remedy for man and beast. The happiest results follow its use, and in Nervous Diseases, such as Rheuma- tism, Neuralgia and kindred diseases. it has no equal. For throat and lung diseases. bowel complaints, etc., it is truly a marvel. The Oil, besides exciting appetite, promot- ing digestion and checking fermentation on the stomach, antidotes or counteracts the effect of uric acid, which produces rheuma- tism by destroying the oxalate and phos- Ehate of lime in the bones and the mem- ranes enclosing the joints.
