BY DR. R. SnKLTOW MAOKEKZIR. Thomas Titsser, one of the patriarchs of English literature, who was born early in the reign of Henry VlIL. and the time en \ Good about Queen Bess \ ha<l half accomplished her course of royalty, has to be credited with a lsrge number of quaint sayings, which, from their plain truth and plain language, have so sank into men's minds that they are quoted after a lapse of over three centuries. For the rhost part he puts his reasons into rhyme, thereby they are better remem- bered. 1 One of his couplets, in \The Farmers Dailv !>iet,\ has particular reference to the present season. It runs thus: At Cbriatmas |Jay. and make good dioor, For Clniattiiaa cornea but once a yoar. The latter line is often mouths in M the old country, observance of Christmas has declined there, within my own reoo lectiou.

On no account) is mistletoe employed with other plants—holly, rosemary, laurel, and ban—in the decoration of churches, at Chrifjtmas or any other festival. It is shut 4ut, because it is associated with the bloody rites of Paganism. The wassail-bowl, which in some ru- ral parti of England used to be carried about from door to door, jind which \ was nit hard to take,\ is now seldom seen, let it has a place in English history.

The \ Christmas Carol \ gives a spirited bnt not unfaithful id^a of the general sentiment that formerly pervaded English society at Christmas time. In this conn try, as far as my own observation has extended, the ob- servance of Christmas among the few holidays and jolly-days of the year, has increased very much in the last twenty years, and is increasing. Romote it be. How long the 25th of I>eceml>er has been observed as Christmas day, the anniversary of our Savior's birth, is not accurately known. It has been sta- ted that the institution of this great re- ligions and social festival took place in the middle of the second century. The first real traces of it, however, are in the reign of the Roman Emperor Com- modna, 180-192, A. D. Btill later, when Diocletian reigned, 284 306, A. D , he happened to be keeping court at Nioo- mema, when it was told to him that a crowd of Christians Imd assembled there to celebrate the birth of Jesus, whereupon he had the church doors closed and set flta to the edifice, nil the worshipers perishing in the dames. In the year 361 the Emperor Julian cele- brated the Christian festival of the Epiphany. Home say it was on Christ- mas dav, which Gibbon, the historian, thinks is possible, since the churches of Egypt, Asia, and perhaps Gaul, cele- brated on the same day (the sixth of January) the nativity and baptism of their fiavinr. Hut tho Romans filed the rolflnfi t*weip»n>n uxe zvm va »*~ cember—the Brumalia, or winter sol- atice, when the Pagans annually Sale- braUd the birth of the Sun. Tbarswaa: too «nlfofmfty of time as rsgardaOMrot- masday. Some of the early churches held the festival in May or April,others in January. It is almost certain that I the 26th of December cannot be the na- I tivity of the Saviour, for it is then the height of the rainy season in Jndea,and shepherds oould hardly be watching their flocks by night on the plains* A very erroneous improssion gen- erally prevails as to the degree of con- sideration with which Christ is regard- ed, I will not say by Mohammedans, but by the religion which they profess. In the Koran a high and mysterious reverence for Christ is inculcated by Mohammed. Ho is placed among the Apostles, as inferior only to Moham- med. The authority and station of Adatm, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Christ, and Mohammed rise in iust gradation above eaoh other; and whoever rejects one of these prophets is numbered with the Infidels, According to the Koran, Jesus was a mortal, whose testimony, at the day of \judgment* was to condemn both the Jews, who reject Him as a prophet, and the Christians, who adore Him as the Son of Owl. The malice of His enemies (according to the Koran] Aspersed his reputation and conspired Against his life, but their intention only WAS guilty—A phantom or a criminal being substituted on the cross, And the innocent saint translated to the seventh heaven. Patt of thi* legend is paid to have been founded on a fAble in the gospel of 8b. Barnabas, that another man, a frir nd or an enemy, had been crusifled in the likeness of Jusus. It is difficult to recognise Mo- hammed's toleration in his followers* persecutions of Christians. Christmas day is particularly honor- ed In the Catholic Church with a mid- night mass, a daybreak mass, and high one went out after dark uuless com pelled to. Up to this time nothing moro has been heard from Jones A Co. so far as Haugerties is concerned, but 44 Jones & Co.\ have evidently com- menced operations in Dutchess (bounty, ind already a lamentable result has followed, the occurrence taking place in the quiet little village of Amenia, on tho lino of the Harlem Railroad. The Prenideut of that village receieved in almost the same manner as did the President of tho village of Haugerties, the following information: •• NBW YORK, Dec. fi. 11 To the PreMdcnt of the Village of Anu.nia: ; \Thieves leaving for Amenia to- night. Have written particulars too late. Shall we follow them up ? Answer by telegraph.\ The Amenia lime* says the telegram Iras singed by a prominent New York detective Arm, but adds: *' We do not think it advisable to give the name of the firm, as we may have occasion to f et notice from tho same source again.\ 'he Tlmc9 also says: \Tho detectives were, perhaps, honest, in sending the above notice, or they might have been out of a job and wanted something to do. The thieves, if there were any, did not leave tho New York trains that day or night at Amenia, for,\ as the IHme* says, \one-third of the popula- tion were at the depot to receive them.\ Although the name of the detective firm 44- ^t^.U*Hft»«J lmre>~ that It is the same firm, if there is any such, which scared 8*ngertles. The dispatch to Amenia, however, completely alarmed tho vil- U|ge, and citizens turned out en masse as private watchmen, nil fully armed. Regular Eating. Half or all ordinary diseases would be banished from civilized life, and dyspepsia become almost unknown, if everybody would oat but thrice a day at regular times, atid not an atom be- tween meals, the intervals being not less than five hours, that being the time to digest a full meal and pass it out of .UnTstomach. If a person eats between meals, the process of digestion of the food Already ra the stomach is arrested until the last which has been eaten is brought into the condition of the former meal, just AS if water isM>eiling and ioe is put in, the whole ceases to boil until the iee has been melted and brought to the boiling point, sod the whole boils to- gether. AUwof ttatuhi Oiat all food decay, to rot, after exposure eat and moisture for a certain time. If a meal is eaten, and in two hours an- other, the whole remains undigested for seven hours, before which the rot- ting process commences, and the man has iiia stomach full of carrion—the \ery idea of which is horribly disgust- ing ; but that such ia the case the un- endurable odor of tho bclohiugs demon- strates. As, then, all the food in the stomach is in a rotting condition, in a state of fermentive decay, it becomes unfit for the purposes of nutrition and for mak- ing good, pure blood. Small wonder it is that dyspeptics have sucJi a variety of symptoms, and aches, for there is not one diop of pure blood in the whole body ; hence the nerves, which fc ed on this impure and imperfect blood, are not properly nourished, and, as a con- sequence, become diNcased. They \complain they are hungry, and like a hungry man, aro i>ceviHb, fretful, restless. We call it nervousneas, and no one ever knew n dyspeptic who was not restless, fretful, fidgety, and essen- tially disagreeable, fitful and uncer- tain. The stomach is made up of a number of muscles, all of which are brought into requisition in the process of diges- tion. Jiut no muscle can work always. The busy heart is in a state of perfect repose for one-third of its time. Tho eye can wink twice in a second, but this could not bo continued five minutes. The hands and feet must have rest, and so with tho muscles of the stomach ; they only can rent when there is fio work for thorn to do—no food in the stomach to digest. Even at live hours' iuterval, and eating thrice a day, they are kept constantly at work from break- fast until tho last meal is dis]M>scd of, usually at ten o'clock at night. Jiut multitudes eat heartily wit Inn an hour of bed-timo ; thus, while the other por- tions of the body are at rest, tho stom- ach is kept laboring until almost day- light, and mad© to begin again at break- fast time. No wonder is it that the stomach is worn out—has lost its power of action. Many girls l>ecomo dyspep- tic before they are out of Iheic teana. in o*Ht*equence Zl llmupf about the house and uibblingat everything they lay their eyes on, that is good to eat.

As for plum pnddiug, it originalli was served up as a sort of fruit-sou|>| thickened with, brown bread. At last some frreat (renins con- ceived tile idea of boiling it in a cloth, or pudding bag. The result was the plum pudding of the present era. The secret off success is abundance of fruit and a grlat deal of boiling. Arounfl the celebration of Christmas circled alcycle of later festivals. The dual adobtion of the 25th of December may havi arisen out of the fact that the heathen I nations regarded the winter solstice ks an important period of the year whefci the powers of nature began to feel [renewed life. Germans and Celts, fiom tho earliest times, eele- bratedthlt season with great festivities. The former, in particular, then had their Yun feast in honor of the deities, who, thcT believed, presided over the season arid its changes. As Christianity advanced, the clergy endeavored to substitute its observances for those of heathenry. Hence, the dramatic! representations—still called miracle plays, and represented in Bavaria recently—of the oirth of Christ and the I various events of his life; hence, thp manger songs and various Christmal carols ; hence, still later, the ?j5r*l^kt r yi!l£ r Christmas trees, adorn- I We Hair jby recip special Christmas meats and dishes, such as plum puddings, mince pies, rolls, shoft-bread, currant loaves, dump- lings, Acl The Christmas tree, be it understood, is first exhibited on Christ- mas eve, and remains on view until the fith of Jariuary, which is generally called Old Christmas Day.

Origin of Cholera Epidemic, rom Russia comes the intelligence tt the State authorities, with Pe)i- ki at their head, have eomo to the cojlnsion that the recent outbreaks of ctyra in that country were not duo to re^t importations, but to the seeds of thiholera having remained latent from foist epidemics, even as far back as 18i, According^ to this conclusion, ctyra may now bo regarded as fairly nrralized iu Eastern Europe, as in Hia. All information as to the mode ifhich cholera spreads, therefore, as- sies increased importance. Petten- ker's theory rests upon the assump- ti that the cholera contagion is maiu- Ijf entirely pronagatcd outside the hian body; and thus the malady, fr\ this point of view, though readily o4ed by human beings, and in the mi following the lines of human in- teturse, is not, strictly speaking, con- Ufmh bnt rather miaamatie. A Cold In the Head. One of the most annoying complaints in the range of medical knowledge, says tho Dan bury Ntws f is a cold in the head. But you would not think so. No newspaper which publishes intricate recipes for complicated diseases, loll**, even in the most vague way how to cure a cold in tho h a J. No volume on physiology comes to its relief. No doc- tor in regular praetico pretends to know anything about it. It is the wan- dering Jew of ailments. It invades every household with impunity, and snaps itft feverish finger in the very face of modioli science. And medical iscience promptly dodges, and is glad it can. Tho man with a cold in his head is a mournful fabric to contemplate. Ho is ostracised from company. He is barred out from the family circle. He loses his interest in everything but a stove and a handkerchief. His eyes are watery, his skin is drawn tight to his flesh, his nose is swollen, of a fiery red, and sorer than a strange dog. What he mostly fears is the draft, but in spite of his most active endeavors he is sure to get into it; and ho is hardly able to conceal his surprise at the pressure of business tho family is subjected to, which keeps tho door open about two- thirds of tho time, nnd establishes an almost uninterrupted current of air about his legs. Screwed up back of the stove, with his nose like a beacon shining above it, he patiently holds his handkerchief to the blaze, and finally slips into a ment:il calculation as to which will first lose its moisture—his cotton or his blood. There he sits all day, with the handkerchief as a flag of truce tendered by the Are in his head to tho fire in tho stove, and at night he goes scudding through a cold hall sneezing at every leap. Long after every one else is asleep he starts up with a terrific sneeze, and finds that his feet are sticking out below the quilts, and that the handkerchief, which ho meant to have carefully located for just this emergency, is nowhere to be found, \'Han Extravagance. The Italians are often noted for then extravagant expressions of respect in h ttcr-writiug.

The following is the literal translation of n letter addressed, after a quarrel, by one angry disputant to another whom he challenged to a duel : \ Most Esteemed Hir : Permit me to inform you that you are a pig. Yes, my beloved one. It U my intentiou, in a short time, to snoil vour beauty either by sword or pistol. I'he choice will l>e left to you, as both weapons are to me ciuitc indifferent.

J. The ball was fired by John Mas- sen, long since deceased, over the ship Ayrshire, wrecked Jan. 12, 1850, on Squan Beach, and was thereby the means of savin? 201 lives. It being so directly identified with the early his- tory of the life saving service makes it peculiarly interesting.

A reporter learning that the Azalea, which arrived At New York, WAS At Santiago during the Virginius massacre, visited the vessel to obtain, if possible, some further particulars as to that great tragedy. The mate, George Coysh, in reply to a question, replied that he had, with several others of the ship's company, witnessed the execution of Captain Fry and the 36 members of his crew. Upon request* Mr. Coysh gave the following particulars : \ We arrived at Santiago on the 5th of November, the day after the first four (Ryan and others) were shot.
