Deacon (sluff at the " Pines" had a holy horror of this new style of singing. Though a man only a Iit- tle past forty, he held in sacred• dis- dain any infringement of his sabbati- cal privileges. It made him a per- , son of mark to stand in . the deacon's seat before the pulpit and read two lines of the psalm for diose iu the singing gallery to tune into melody. So the deacon, that evening, had determined to go over to the school- house to stop the disorderly proceed- ings. Six weeks a widower, I dare not aver how strongly other .reasons- urged the step. Mrs. Cliff was not forgotten ; on the contrary she. was remembered every hour in the .day. He was lonesome; his hone was at sixes and sevens, his children unruly. Then he was conscious of a strange sense of freedom the feminine world' was again open to him it was pleasant to gaze at the lovely maid- . ens of the society. He was high in the social scale; last year overseer of the poor., this year selectman. of the town, spoken of as being likely -to be: sent to the big and mighty General Court the next ,,year. With . his standing in the church, surely he might aspire to the fairest aid rich- est of the land. , A huge fire of green logs was sputtering 'end sizzling in the wide stone fire -place of the. rude .half fin- fished temple of learning ; the tallow candles, stuck into square blocks whittled from a pine stick, cast a weird light over the clumsy desks and seats, .tracked acrd disfigured by their various occupants, casting ghostly shadows over the time stain- ed and smoke-embrownal walls. Grouped around the suioking fire, perched hither and thither upon the benches and desks, were s©rne thirty lads and lasses, singers at the ` Green,' and a few friends, come to assist in the acquirement of sacred harmony. Deacon. Ci teff was an artist; I fear lie scarcely understood the full meaning of the term ; still, as he pushed aside the clumsy outer door and stood in the little vestibule, the picturesqueness of the scene arrest- ed his steps, and caused him to and richest 'wo. ry side was the The reigning toast a bride at eigh- at twenty, en- -gest and best risb, with oat- woodlands, and stock, little her crop had lot .and hecrosy eyes were still w's veil, that hearts should r; less wonder party from visit her on a ring. that the ook her best er before over siveet cider, Ica, or that, belles next mated in the ` Gres " to stand unobserved in the half o entrance to the larger entrance.

One of these is THOMAS' ELECTRIC OIL, pureiy u, prepar- ation of six of sonic of the best oils that are known, each one possessing virtues of its own. Scientific physicians know that medicines may be forn3ed of several ingredients in certain fixed proportions cif greater power, and producing effects which could never result from the use of any one of them, or in different cambinations. Thus in the preparation of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming a compound which could not by any possibility be Made from any other combination or proportions of tho same i.ngredients, or any other ingredients, and entirely different from anything ever before made, one which products the moafastonishing re- sults, and having a, wider range of applieation than any 3netlicine ever before discovered.
