..JANUARY 15, 1869. CHRISTMAS InoiLIXD. continued Gratland was poorer than he knew himself to be when he traveled to the Hague on the day of Christmas Eve to collect a debt. He was one of thosa grasping men who overreach themselves by believing too fondly in their own cunning, when, they fall victims to cleverer logues than themselves, and are lelt to repent at their leisure. He listened to the tempter, who led him to suppose that a lare quantity of diamonds, brought to Amsterdam to be cut, but the owner of which could not wait, or pay if he waited, for their cutting, were it to L e had at the price of a sons. And (rrathnd had paid the money, and been robbed; and so cleverly had the robbery been effected that he could not com j lain to the authorities wii hout implicating himself in what apneared to be. at least, a very nsly transaction, lie was a long-headed it' a wrong-hearted man, and ne bore his loss without a word. But when he cut down his meagre household, people supposed that mynheer was gett n .r s-till meaner the older he grew. It wai nothing of the kind; her was fcimply in reduced circumstances. And when his neighbors heard that Mynheer Gratland was going into the herring trade, the amount of astonishment expressec1 was more than Gratland would have eared to hear of. Buto into the herring trade ho certainly did, ani furthermore, he combined with the employment rough coopering, applied to the making of barrels in which the Dutch herrings are packed. Kitrine was nineteen; and she was knitting one of those interminable stockings made by Dutch women so perpetually, even while walking, that they count a mile at so many rows, when she heard a sweet voice asking her father for work. After a few inquiries, which drew responses from her lather less and less gruff as they proeaeded, she heard -this inquiry made: "Well, wlyit i3 your name?" "K'.aa Steen." Then she knew the voice in moment, and as she laid her hand upon the bodice of hir dress, it may be inferred that her heart was beating. This, in fact, was the case. " Thou mayst stay, says Mynheer Gritland." And, as the customs of the Dutch are very simple and homely, they met at the first meal. She knew that he knew bxr almost as soon as he .himself male the discovery. And those two youn? people were t hereupon lost, for they were deeply in love at a view. The burgher benefited by that meal, for neither the new workman uor his daughter made a good dinner, " You are dull, daughter," said the Dutch father, and he appeared to take no more notice of his daughter's quietude. And now daily they saw each other. But he said nothing. Had he been an Englishman, he would have spoken his mind; had he been French, he would have sighed like a furnace; but he was a simple, plain, slow Dutch lad so he loved, and was taciturn. He recalled her as she stood in the platz at the llsgue, and marvnled how beautiful she had become. Probably his slow nature did not even surest to him the question, "Doea she think kindly of" me?" They sat down at the same table, and, at night, he bowed, and said good night to her. Meanwhile, the father was too much engrossed in going over the day's work again upon paper to watch either the one or the other for it is needless to say that he remembered nothing of what happened six years previously at the Hague. True, when they said good night their eyes met, but they fell again in a moment. Throughout that summer and autumn he never whispered a word by which he could learu whether or not she remembered him. On the other hand, she longed to know of the history of these six years. But she was a Hollandische maiden, and she could make no advances. He could have told the history of his life in half a dozen words. He had steadily worked at his trade, gone steadily home nightly to the Orphan House, and so lived a peaceful, calm, stupid, and honest life. No word had he heard of mother or father; and, when he le't the House, he received the little capital there was due to him by way of a percentage upon his earnings. But not a word was said of whither he came, or to what suspicions his discovery gave birth. He left, with his littla stock of money (which he banked very carefully,) Klaas Steen, as he had ever b .-en ; and he knew nothing more ot his birth or parentage. He- did not yearn towards the unknown parents, for ho had never known a home; but his heart was filled with the eager, blank, ecstatic hope which most young men experience, and which they jenjoy without compre hending, that yearning for a home of their own which is the natural climax of a young lite, a home, one's castle with a queen in it. Often Klaas helped Katrine, notably when Wednesday came, the so boon making day in the week, the day when the house is scrubbed outside as well as in, and when every piece of metal in the whole house is made a Drignt as sunngnt. At tnese time? he would help her at work for the Dutch maiden, even when the lamily i3 in wealthy circumstances, is mo?t domesticated. In fact, she sets au example to all Europe. Upon these occasions, he would spla3h about iq the water, and pail ani sousings, with the heartiest will; but he never v whispered Nav. when that remarkable Dutch ceremony of paintiner the trunks of the trees, ia distemper, tha exact col or of the house, was taking place aithoushshe rendered herself more beautiful than ever by bespattering heraelt with paint calm and paticoc Klaas tsteen spoke not a word, though a slow somethinsr in his heart toid . him he might offer the money handkerchiet. He would stand before the house, not twelve paces from the canal, and wondsr wou d that narrow front door evr be opened to him ; and well he might wonder, for, in Holland, the front dcor is only unclosed at the baptism, marriage, or death ot one of the family. Would he ever pas3 that narrow door with Katrine on his arm? Out of the question. Gratland was rich; while he had only two hundred florins in all the world. But when the kermesse or fair, was held, in November, he nearly spoke; for. as she eave him her paper lamp to hold, he thought she pressed hi3 hand. Bat if be blushed she could cot see it, for the paper round her candle was pinlc, and, therelore, it made all faces near it appear as though blushing. These paper lamps are carried about at a Dutch kermejse, and it is generally held that, when a maiden gives you her fair-lantern to hold, she makes a preference.

FRIDAY

She paw a treat deal of Klaas, and

the more she faw of him the. more she liked him. Had Klaas looked up now and again from his work of barrel-making, he would have seen that the smalt mirror spy-glasses, which are fixed at every window of every well-to-do house in Holland for the purpose of watching the neighbors more than closely that Katrine's mirrors were always so arranged that she could see what he was about in the yard, while it was quite impossible that he could see her. Sometimes she would come to attend her Othello hyacinths, whose pots stood on the window-siil, but he never went beyond touching his cap, and bending lower over his work. For in Holland - they are a subdued, grave, sad people; probably because for ages they have always been fighting for dear life with the sea, which is always threatening to drown the land, and therefore they are slow to. express their thoughts. On the other hand, they are the most faithful creatures in Europe, and, therefore, we nresama to suDDOse. in the whole world. Before the Winter froze the Amstel, and the X , before the first skates were ground for the season, he had bought the bands, a pair of which arc always given by the simple, homely Dutch lover, when he and a lass are betrothed. These bands have an intimate relation with the long and slender stockings the women appear to be always knitting; indeed, a cargo of stockings would not sell in Holland the women must have knitted enough lor a century. These bands, in fact, if we dare say the truth, are garters. And the lover presents these embroidered and mottoed bands with all the good faith and simplicity possible. Now, Klaas, though he had never dared to determine that she should be his, lived in that peculiar, contradictory mental state to which not one of us is a stranger, and therefore he bought her the bands, the motto upon each of which was as follows: " Being in love does no harm, if that love finds love; but if love is not, then all labor is rain. Praise God!" These bands were laid up very carefully in a copy of the Amsterdam tioe Presse. The remainder of the Autumn passed, and, the cold weather making up its mind at last, the ice thickened, and bkates were ground for the Winter traffic. j It was upon the first Christmas Eve he passed at Mynheer Gratland'a that he did venture to make something like an advance. The lad who straps a Dutch girl's skate, especially upon the first day of its wearing, is generally allowed to kiss the maiden on the forehead, or even cheek; and it need not be said that this is a ceremony for two, in reference to which the maiden has quite made up her mind before the ice arrives. I he lassie can retune help from as many as she likes, but he must at last show a preference. Ka trine had quite made up her mind that Klaas should buckle her skates the first time she put them on that Winter; while he wondered, over his barrels, whether she would allow him to fix the straps. The ice came: but day after day Katrine remained indoors. One morning a youth called at the house. and passed Klaa3 in the workyard without bestowing a look on him; but Katrine remained at home. f CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK. DI2.Y GOODS. G1XI.I30I MAGHEK. N. M.

FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU.

WOMAN. FEMALES, OWING TO THE PECUliar and important relations which they sustain, their peculiar organization, and the offices thty perform, are subject to many sufferings. Freedom from these contribute in no small degree to tuelr happiness and welfare, for none can be happy who are ill. Not only so. bat no one of these various female complaint" can long be suffered to run on witbout involving the general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sickness and premature decline Nor is it Fileasant to consult a physician for the reief of these various delicate affections, and only upon the most uigent necessity will a true woman so far sacrifice her greatest charm as to do this. Tbe sex will then thank us for placing In their hands simple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curing almost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to the Be. II elm bald's Extract of Btrc-Hu. Hon dreds suffer on In tilence, and hundreds of others apply vainly to druggists and doctors, who either merely tantalize tbem with the hope of a cure or anrlv remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to say tbat although it may be produced lrom excessive exhaustion of the powers of life, by lxboriuus employment, unwholesome air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, and frequent childb'rtii, it is far oftener caused by direct Irritation applied to the mucous membrane of the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distressing complaints, it ia most painful to contemplate tbe atfendant evils consequent upon them. It is but simple justice lo the subject to enumerate a few or tbe many additional canwes which so largely affect tbe life, health, and happiness of woman in ail classes of society, and which, consequently, affect, more or less directly, the welfare of the entire humau family. Th mania that exists for precocious edu cation and marriage causes the years that nature designed rorcoi poreal development to be wasted and perverted in tue restraints ot Jress, the early confinement ot school, and especially in toe unueaunv excitement ol the Da 1 room, ibus, with the body half-clothed, and tbe mind unduiy excited by pleasure, perverting in mid night revel the hours designed oy nature for sleep and rest, tbe work of destruction Is half accompllsued. Iu consequence ot this early strain upon her system, unnecessary effort is required by the deilcate votary to retain her situation in 8' boo! at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When one eiciiement is over, another In prospective keeps the mind morbidly t-eusltlve to impression, while the now constant restraint of fashionable drtss, absolutely forbidding the exercise indispensable to the attainment and retention of organic healtn and strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden change of temperature; the complete prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of necessity, produce their legitimate effect. At last., an early marriage caps the climax of misery, and tbe unfortunate one, hitherto ro utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonstrances ot her delicate nature, becomes an unwlllingsubject of medical treatment. Tula is but a truthful plciu.e of tbe expelience ol thousands of our young women. JLong before the ability to exercise the functions ot the generative organs, they require n education of their peculiar nervous system, composed of what is called tbe tissue, which is in common with the female bieust and lips, evidently under tbe control of mental emotions and associations at an early period of life; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emotions, when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to habits whien sap the very life of thelr vlctlmstre nature has self-completed their development. For Female Weakness and Debility, Whites or Leucorrboea, Too Profuse Menstruation, Exhaustion, Too long Continued Periods, lor Prolapsus and Bearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we offer the most pet feet specific known: Helmboip1 CnupuciMO Extract or BDoau. .Directions lor use and diet, and advice, accompany. Females in every period of life, from infancy to extreme old age, will find it a remedy to aid nature In the discharge of Its lunctlODS. Strength is t.e glory of manhood and womanhood. Helmbold'a Extract ISuchu is more strengthening than any of the preparation? of Bark or Iron, infinitely saler. and more pleasant. Jit Irn -bold' Extract Buchu, having received the indorsement of the most piomiaent physicians in tie United Htate?, is now offered toaftlicted humanity as a certain cure for the following diseases and s mptoms, Irooi whatever cause oiigimitiuz : General Debility, Mental aud Physical Depression, Imbecility, Determination of B ood to the Head, Confused Ideas, Hysteria, General Irritabilltj , Restlessness aud Sleeplessness at Night, Absence of Muscular Edlcieucy, Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, Low Spirits, Disorganization or Paralysis of the Organs of feneration, Palpitation of the Heart, and, in fact, all the concomitants of a nervous and debilitated state of the system.

Iu this city tbis difficulty is pecu tarty aggravated by the lar.e quantity of magnesia ana lime found in the waer, which, besides lorming scales on the boiler, obstructs the pipes aud occasions the most annoying delays iu cleaning, as well as actually endangering the aaiety of the boiler. Stillweirs Patent Heater Removes all this difficulty, sending tbe water into the boiler free lrom any sediment whatever, and pure as if distilled. All who use what are anown astbe"diive wells" for their supply of water cnuuot afford to do without this Heater. It will save them much money in the purchase of fuel, to sav nothing of the annoyance and delay in cleansing boilers. The Heater la oukIIv inanusHd. and ouicklv cleansed. One has been in operation at Igieheart's Flouring Mill for many months, and given entire satisfaction. Another is In operalion in bellman's Foundry and the.Cotton Mill adjoining.
