Rubensteins’ Piano Playing.

Stp> BROWN’S DESCRIPTION THEREOP.

‘Jud, they say you heard Rubenstein lay when you were in New York. Vell, tells us ubout it.’

‘What, me ? I might’s well tell vou

about the creation of thé world.’

‘Come now; no mock modesty. ahead.’

‘Well, sir, he had the blamedest, big- yest, cattycorneredst piannes you ever laid eyes on. Somethin’ like a distrac- ted billard table on three legs. The hid was h’isted, and mighty well it was. If it hadn't been, he'd a-torn the entire insides clean out, aud scattered 'em to the four winds of heaven.’

‘Played well, did he ?’

‘You bet he did; but don’t interrapt me. We first set down he ‘peared to keer mighty little ’bont play, and wish't he hudn’t come. He tweédle-leedle'd littke on the treble, and twoddle-oodle le-oodle’d some on the bass; just foolin’ and boxin’ the thing’s jaws for bein’ m the way. And I says to 4 man sittin’ next to me,s’I what sort of a fool play-

ing is that? And he says ‘Hee'sh But presently his hands commenced chasin’ one ’nother up and down the keys, like a passel of rats scampering through a garrett very swift. Parts of jt was sweet, though, and reminded one of a sugar squirrel turnin’ the wheel of a candy cage.

‘¢ Now,’ Isays to my neighbor, ‘he’s shown’ off. He thinks he’s a doin’ of it, but he ain’t got no idea, no plan of nothin.’ If he’d play me up a tune of some kind er other, I’d—’

But my neighbor says ‘ Hee'sh !' very impertinent.

‘Iwas just about to get up and go home, bein tired of that foolishness, when | heard a little bird waking up way off in the woods, and calling sleepy- like to his mate, and I looked up and see Ruben was beginning to take some interest in his business, and I sat down again. It was the peep o’day. The light came faint from the east. The breeze blowed gentle and fresh, some more birds waked up in the orchard, then some more in the trees near the house, and all begun singin’ together. People begun to stir, and the gal epen- ed the shutters. Just then the first beam of the sun fell upon the blossoms, a little more and it techt the roses on the bushes, and the next thing it was broad day ; the sun fairly blazed, the birds sang like they'd split their little

throats, all the leaves was movin’ and flashin’ diamonds of dew, and the whole wide world was bright and happy asa king. Seemed to me like there wasa breakfast in every house in the land, and not a sick child or a woman any- where. It was a fine mornit.’ And I says to my neighbor, ‘that’s music, that is.’

And he glar’d at me like he'd like to cut my throat.

‘Presently the wind turned; it began to thicken up, and a kind of gray mist come over things ; I got low spirited d’rectly. Then a silver rain began to fall. I could see the drops touch the round; some flash- ed up like long pearl ear-rings, and the rest rolled away like round rubies. It was pretty but melancholy. Then tho pearls gathered themselves into Jong. strands and necklaces, and then ‘they meited into thin~ silver streams running between golden gravels, and then the streams joined each other at the bottom, and made a brook that flowed silent except that oe could kindor see the music, ’special-

y when the music went along down the valley. Icould smeil the flowers in the meadow. But the sun didn’t shine nor tbe birds sing; it wasa foggy day, but not cold, The most curious thing was tho little white angel boy, like you see in pictures, that ran ahead of the music book, and led it on, away out of the world where no man ever was—I never was, certain; I could that just as pte as Isec you. Then the moon- tight came without any sunset, and shone on the graveyards, where some few ghosts lifted their heads and went over the wall; and between the sharp block-top trees splendid marble houses rose up, with fine ladies in the lit-up windows, and men that loved ‘em but could never geta-nigh'em, and played op guitars under the trees, and made me. feel that miserable I could a cried.

Gro

beeanse I wanted to love somebody, I!

don’t know who, better than the men with the guitars did. Then the sun went down. It got dark. _The wind moaned and wept like a lost child for its dead mother, and I could a-got up then and there and preached a botter sermon than any I ever listened to. There wasn’t a thing in the world left to live for, not a blame thing, and yet I didn’t want the music to stop one bit. I was happier to be miserable than to bé happy, without being miserable. 1 could understand it. I hung my head and pulled out my handkerchief and blowed noe loud to keep from cryin.” My eyes are weak anyway. I didn’t want anybody to be a gazin’ at

what Ido with my nose. It’s mine.

But several glared at me, mad 4s Tacker. ‘Then all of a sudden, old Rueben changed his tane. He ripped and rar’d, he tipped and tar’rd, he pranced and he charged like a grand entry at a circus. ‘Peered to me that all the gas in the house was turned on at once, things got so bright, and hilt up’my head, ready to look any man in the face, and not afeared of nothin’. It was acircus and a brass band, and a big ball, all goin’ on at the same time. He lit into them keys like « thousand of brick ; he giv’em no rest day or night; he set every liven joint jn me agoin’, and not bein’ able to stand it no longer, I jumped, sprang into my seat, and just hollered, ‘ Go it, my Rube !

Remedy CURES CATARRE.

Dear Sir--Itis now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy was intro- duced to me. I have waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my daty, to you, as at first the happy efiects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be

i was afflicted in my head for years before } suspected it to be Catarrh. la reading in your Circular J saw my case described in many par ticulars. ‘The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from ying long, { would feel like smothering and be Bompelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. ‘When your agent came to Walkertown in Angust, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and 2 third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some forja cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many. different diseases has Deen eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undieputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary pilasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CavstcumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. AT) other plasters are slow of action. and regjuire to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in a}l ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; aud it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an oatward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tagos in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. Metvrn’s CApsicuM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the nse of plasters orlinfment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

mR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Ihough powerful and quick. in its action, you can rely on its safety ‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and er poisonous material

_eommonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will oli hundreds to your friends. ~ sk your druggist for Dr. MeLvix’s CApst- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25. cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
