DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannet reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional treatment, ness, and that f,A.- remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mueuous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumh ling sound or imperfect hearing, and vhen it is entirely closed, deafness is the rcsul, and unless the inflammation can he taken out and this tube restor-j ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.

The harvest festival of the year good old Thanksgiving! Who does not love this family feastday ? When did the Pilgrims first land at Plymouth? "December 21, 1C20.'' Yes; in the cold ami snow and ice of mid-winter, they found their home in this New World. Manfully they struggled on through the terrible sea son till spring smiled upon them; j.nd trusting in God, they put their first seed in the ground. Some of this seed was Indian co.'ii. Do you know how they found it ". About a month before they discovered Plymouth, while they were on shore at Cape Cod, a party went out ex ploring; and this is a part of what 7pue of them wrote about the exp- ur.ioii : 'There was also a heap of sand which we digged up, and in it we found Indian corn; and digged further, and found a line reat new basket, full of very fiir corn of this year, . ith some six and thiity goodly lars of coiTi, some yelbw and some red, and others mixed with blue; which vvas a very "oodiy signt. l ne ua- ket was round and narrow at the top. held about three cr four bushels, hich was as much us two of us ould lift up from tl.e ground; and as very handsomely and su'.inmgiy made." Don't you think they were pleased with such a "goodly sight?" They took all the "six and thirty goodly ears," "put a rood deal of loose corn into, a kettle they found there, for twe men to carry- and they hiied meir pockets, and buried the rest again. Six months afterwards, they found the Indiana that owned the corn, they paid then for it. So they did not steal it. About two weeks after they found store buried corn; so that they had, in all, about ten buahals, "which," they said, "will serve us sufficiently for seed." They added, "And sure it was God's good providence that they found this coin; for else we know not how we should have done." This was the way they got their seed corn. They planted it early in the spring and when the summer was over, and beautiful October came, they round that l,od had blessed the first labor of their hands. Edward Wilson (afterward govern or) wrote in December to a "loving and old friend" in England: "We set the last spring, some twentv acres of Indian corn, and sowed some six acres of barley and pease. Our corn did prove well; and God be praised, we nau a gootlly increase of Indian corn? Would you like to read his descrip tion of the harvest festival ? "Our harveot being gotten in, our governor sent four men out fowling so that we might after a special manner rejoice together aftw we had gather ed the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl, as, with a little help beaide, served the community almost week. At vhiek time amongst other recreations, we exereised our arms; many oi tfe In dians coming amongst us, and among the rest, their greatest kfag, TTntrn oit, with some ninety nen wboat for three days we entertain ad and feasted; and they went out aad killed live deer, which they brought to the plan tation, and bestowed on our garrieoa and upon the captain and others. Aad although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet, by the goodness of God, we are so far from want, that we often wish yoa partakers of our plenty."
