Tho severity of the stjrm and raging of the elements, prevented them from being seen or heard from cither shoro and their situation became really deplor able. At length after floating about a mllo tho boat was brought to a stand still among freezing snow and ice, and at about eleven o'clock Mr. Stackhouso left tho boat and bis companion and bv tho most extraordin ary exertions gained tho shoro and procur ed assistance.

Norcross, the veteran basso, who has been beforo the public for thirty years, still he maintains his reputa tion as ono of tho best singers In tho pro fession; tho Gormans In their character acts do everything with skill and finish. Atthur lilgby's monologue was so amusing that the audience held him as long as ho would stay, and tho sentimental songs of John Hays nnd Alex. Cameron were well rendered gems. Itcto's contortion act and Layman's transformations added variety to the excellent programme, a pleasing and noticeable feature of which was prevalence of whlto faces. (Lowell Dally Times.

The cathedral arches under which tho Celts worshipped were tho spreading branches of tho oak, the roof a dense follago of greenery, and the mistletoe, tho mystical trasitc of tho tree, was a symbol full ot meaning, for It was believed to renew Its life by somo agency differing from Hint which propagated all other plants, and to exist by a divine power. Here, under tho oak, the favorite tree of the Celtic sun-god, at the period ot winter-solstice, priests and people sacrificed white bulls and human victims. Tho mistletoe was gathered and dispensed in small sprays, to bo hung by the worshippers over their doors as amulets against evil and propltlon to the sylvan de ities. Tho Scandinavian legend ot the mistletoe, which tells tho story how Lokl, tho god of fire, mado tho mlsletoo tho agent of tho death of Balder, most glorious of Ohio's children, is familiar to all students of tho Norso Sagas. The mistletoe con tin ues to be specially cultivated In England for tho salo which is always largo at Christ mas-tidc, but tho apple-treo has taken tho place ot the oak, as the soil on which the plant feeds thp most generously. Tho kiss ing privilege connected with tho mistletoo during the dajs ot yilo Is probably tho most familiar relic of Its traditions. Both the yulc-firo and tho mistletoe were ot old believed to havo special vlrtuo as Bate. guards against the powers of evil; yet when they becamo thoroughly embodied In tho Christian legend, It was not bo much i this as their suggestion ot tho divine power which at Christmas kept the Prince ot DarkneBa and his satellites In abject sub. mission, that gave them their value. All readers of Bhakespcar will remember tho legend and Us assoe'atlon with tho crow. log ot tho cock, as put in the mouth ot Marccllus In Hamlet: From Harper' t Wetk Tlie Craic for L,npel DuttotiM. "Nearly every man you 'boo now wears a ispci uutton oi somo Kind," remarked a gentleman in Bailey, Banks & Biddle's stoic, Philadelphia, a day or two ago. It is a crazo which has just como up within a fow years, just where It originated I can not say, but I do know that there Is hardly a University or Athletic club in tho coun try which has not a button ot Its own. This rage for buttons even extends to many ot tho political organizations, but as a rule, they are not bo handsomely nor expensive ly gotten up as the others. We make thousands of these Uttlo badges every year, and tho demand is still Increasing." The Htnto cnpltnl. WAT01I TUB PROCEEDINGS OF YOUR LEQI8LA- I TURK.
