TTTE nnWNFAIt OF WINTER.
The only pa t of h * truly that was mt dis
guised hy a bear’* hi lewis his face, and
eve . that <* a- made hidrou* bv the wearing
of a long, ta gled, lals beani, whin . fe I
down as far a-his breas . Upon bis bead
be wore a g land of wint rg een, aid
another* encircl'd his waist. 'J’.ii* figure
was known a* Ors >n, the win er, a id in one
hand ho held a cudgel. Asheadvaure l
boldly from is placs 1 f conceahn n , he
ma re many unc utb g stures and danced
gro e q iely, to sytn >■ lize tne rouguaessa id
tyra .iy of the winter se sui.
The other fi .one was lip osed to repre
sent spr ng, and cime dancing abdskipp ng
f r ward withal, tiie g uce pos-i le to the
pe son who pa el tue iad. He hai a
garland f flowers aid viol t- about bi<
brow a id robe of gree i gossamer fl rated
hg tly fom His shou de s. Ia uis hand he
ca ned a light fl .wec-wrcathed wand. He
wore nu kins ad sandal* and had a pair of
wing* attached to his feet. Tuis attire wa*
supposed to represe t h e nnbi .atl 1.1 of
A iel. Mercury an. Zephyr.
Toese two figure- met in tne middle of an
open level space around which the as-em
blv sa , and gaze.l at each other wi h every
appear ance of indignation. The c mbat
was then begun by ()rson. With as loud
a howl as he could c un nand, he sprang at
is slender an a onisf with uis cudgel raised
in the air. Zep.-iyr t ereupou u-ed iii
wam to defend ..iuiself, bu instead <.f strik
ing Or.*on with it, he ev pled toe Plow from
the cudgel l.y skipping im ly backward,
while Os in follow.g the luiptis of his
blow, fell awkw rdly upon l y gr mn 1.
1h: eupon Z - .hyr fri ked about with
many c >..tortious ex ressive of glee, a .and
danced upon his ene ny’s po*tra e b aiy.
Win er, however, was not to bes . easily
conquere i. Sudd: ly arou-ing hi ns if
witu another howl, Or-o i tu bled Z iphyr
over an Ia :ain threatened him wi h his
. luii. The fi:ure of su nm'r lay st ff and
a)i|iare:itly lifeless upon the gr ua l, but
again ju-t b f > e the fatal Plow reache 1 its
mark, ne dartei int i too a’r, and, accord
ing to suen records as I have been able o ’
flu I of theevent, Cetnru touc a lo g red
tongue at is disco .fioed puo ient. A be
fore, Or.*ou’s biow fell u.o.i t e groun 1 an l
wmle ne was thus temp ir ril v hors du coot
bat Zephyr leaned u on h.s should.r. an 1
wound his supple legs ab ut. th: s .uggy
creature’s neck. Thus hmdicap ed, Or-ou
howled and roared a iop, making every
effort to th oiv Uis enemy off. Asa la*, re
sort, e dashed forward at a great tree, in
tending to b ai t himself aud uis o Mioae it
atthesa e time. Again Zsphvr sho.ve l
lim e f the cle erer of the two, for ju t as
they approac ed the tree he reached up,
c.ugbc part of a p oj'Cting brancu anl
s- u g . im elf ligbtl. to tne ground, w Ue
Orson, continuing on his clumsy course, fell
headlong heavily against the trunk of the
tiee.
Even this, however, wa not the end. for
Orson pre-e tly recovered, and it is said
that at thi • time beti w. re >.ffe ed ii the
assembly as t*. whici "ould win. As tue
affair proceeded according o a well-known
program me, t, is pirt if the records u ay
a fell' be cone iel to be inaccurate.
At all events, at t.uspo ntof tie p. oceeiing
the b.iiler blew another blase u -on bis
trumpe , and both ihe to i.lia a ts, with
u.any ugl ges u os at eac i ot .er, desisted.
1 lie e. and of this curious combat was
shared by all parties present. Tb • c rnpi
ny was diviil-d int) two nearly equal por
tions, one of which was command and by
Orson a dt ie oth rbvZ ;p iyr. T .ey p. o
cee led t > the op of tbe mou t where the
stiver-ig ih id s.aiioiud hmisolf in the ca
pacity of ampiie. Taen began a lug of
A MERKVMOtj'NT FROLIC,
war in which there was no use of a rope,
tor the con ending parties giaspel each

It is somew at unce tain whether the
two par ies actu 1 y pulled with the desire
of getting heir eoitestmts over a given
line, o whether it wa* all done a* a matter
f form, for after some geueial tugging,

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced t.o taUo
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy Imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried lo induce me buy
tlieirown instead of Hood's; lie told met heir's
would last longer; that I might take It on tea
To Get
days’ trial; that If I did not like it I need not
pay anything, eic. But lie could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it. and dhl not want any other.
When l began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at tfnics 1 could liardly
Hood’s
stand. 1 looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla did mo so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
mid my friends frequently speak of It." Mas.
