The Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe Ry. vs.

Wabash, St. Louis A Pacific.The sharp rivalry now going on

between two American corporations, for railroad privileges and conneotions, in Mexico, indicates the estimation in which well informed men hold the future commerce of the United States with that country. The Atchison, Topeka <fc Santa Fe road, liesides sending branches to California and to Guay mas, on the Pacific coast, aims to secure control of, and connection with, a line to he huilt from the Rio Grande, to the city of Mexico. Hut Jay Gould, who has now connected with his great Wabash system, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, has already perfected arrangements for extending the latter to the Rio Grande, and is figuring for the same advantages beyond as the rival company. It is improbable that the Mexicau govern­ment will give both these enterprises liberal help ; but one of them is sure to get money and land grants. The distribution is to lie made by the State governments. Accordingly, diplomatic agents of the rival com­panies ure at work with the State officials, to obtain the coveted privi­leges. As Jay Gould's line would give the shortest connection with New York, Boston and other eastern cities. It Is realy for the interest of the Mexican merchants, as well as for enstern and northern producers, to

help him. Below is an article copied from the Boston H era ld , which gives a faint idea of the value of the commodities which Mexico has to sell. It will la* seen that she can give us a vast amount of raw material to work up into goods for her. for ourselves aud the rest of the world. Increased commercial intercourse with our sister republic, such as these railroads would supply, will he of immense value to the United .States:

MEXICO’S c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s ."The peculiar characteristics of Mexi­

co in respect to climate are determined less by latitude than probably those of arty other portion of the globe. Its mountain regions, its plateaus and lowlands, diversified in countless forms of beauty, magnificence ami sublimity, have long been the themes on which travellers and historians have lavished their admiration. The mountain ranges arrest the moisture wafted by tin* aeriul currents from the gulf; the lofty crests congeal it in eternal snows; the mountain breast- condense it in fertilizing rains, aud tlte lowlands receive the descending streams that enrich a soil of in ex­haustible fertility, therefore giving all the varieties of climate of the torrid, the temperate and frigid zones. The mineral wealth of Mexico is fabulous. There is not a mineral knowu, except cryolite, that is not found within her borders.

Her mines are comparatively very little worked, and, in hundreds of instances, unclaimed. Many hand­some and rare varieties of marbles, jaspers, agates, porphyries; also, jet. alabaster, plumbago, kaolin, salt pefre, soda, sulphur, salt, ochre, lime, gyp­sum, guano, gold, silver, and rich fertilizing marls; also coffee, indigo, rice, tobacco, sap of the rubber tree, esculents, tropical fruits, spices, medic-

j inal gums, harks and roots, cochineal, ornamental and dye woods, timber, flax, wool, hides, etc., will enter into articles of exchange for the products of our various industries as soon ns facilities are afforded them for rapid and cheap transportation. Thei>eople

' of Mexico have no intercommunica­tion with any country except by water. Their harbors,^specially t h o s e

| mi the gulf of Mexico, are dangerous and uncertain, which compels the merchants and tradesmen to bring their goods and wares from twelve to fifteen months in advance. An im mense cash capital or an excellent credit is indispensable. Long credits are given to Mexican merchants, both

i in England and Germany, which j American merchants are" impelled from choice or necessity to refuse.”

Dress Goods can only he found at John Young’s. Below may be found a few of the many reasons w hy the ladies should buy them :

1st, They are the cheapest goods in the market, when their durability is takeu into consideration.

2d, They can he worn in damp weather or in a shower, without fear of being ruined by curling, or shrink­ing-

3d, They are all double width goods, full twenty-seven inches wide, and made from the very best materials, In­experienced workmen, and cannot be excelled by any similar goods, either Foreign or Domestic.

A Card.To all whom it may concern.

As the year draweth nigh to its close the undersigned asks all Iris customers who have open accounts to call and settle, either in cash or by note, on or before New Years.

Very Respectfully.M. H . H a l l .

There is verv little trouble in dis­cerning who is your friend. I f you are told to ask one person If another is your friend, don’t trouble yourself to do it, for you may be sure such a friend is not worth possessing. True friendship is like an axiom, it speaks for itself, and needs no demonstra­tion.

The brokerage business in New York City is so remunerative tliat a few da3-s since Mr. Metcalf, a partner of Mr. Ives, the President of the Stock Ex­change, bought the seat of Mr. George Chapin for $20,500, and paid $1,000 admission fee to the Exchange in addi­tion. The value of seats has of late ap­preciated more rapidly even than the prices of stocks, for it is only a year or so since Mr. James Gordon Bennett paid but $10,000 for a seat, whieh he presented to his friend Mr. Lawrence11. Jerome. At tiie rate paid by Mr. Metcalf, tho 1,100 seats of the Exchange are worth about $22,000,000. One of its advantages is that at the death of a member his family or estate is entitled to $10,000.

A Funeral Ceremony In the Land of tho Aztecs.

Last September, while wandering about in the beautiful valley of the Rio Grande with a fellow-Bohemian, fort­une as much as anything else led us to the Indian town of Isleta, some twelve miles below that curious old collection of adobe buildings called Albuquerque, on the Atcheson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. We approached on our bur­ros with fear and trembling, for neither of us could talk the Indian dialect, and we had been told in Albuquerque that there was but one family in the town that could speak the least particle of English. Their adobe was our object­ive point, but how to find it was an enigma which it took an hour to work out. We finally chanced upon the right house, and soon fotind ourselves being hospitably entertained in the novel style of the country, and while sojourning there had tho privilege of witnessing in the pueblo (all Indian towns are called peublos) an Indian funeral—a real, genuine, unadulterated Indian funeral. It was so novel that it impressed itself indelibly on our minds.

Uur first intimation of it was the gathering of the people at a mud chap­el in great numbers. They came pour­ing out through the little low doors of their adobes as bees from a hive. They all seemed to wear an air of doubtful expectancy, as though they were unde­cided whether to think a funeral “ jolly •rood fun” or a serious undertaking. Braves were there with their trinkets and feathers, squaws with their dirty- faced papooses peering over their shoul­ders. while children skipped around in merry glee in nature’s own garb. We elbowed our way to the front of the crowd, and found the corpse laid out on the floor with his head resting on a red cotton handkerchief. While the throng joined in chanting their solemn strains we took occasion to study the curious shroud in which the victim of the great Evener was wrapped. It was uothing more nor less than bright- lined ribbons. There were red, green and blue ribbons, ribbons of pink, all shades, and ribbons of yellow. About his brow were gathered rosettes of ribbons, and his hand grasped feath­ers of great size and bright of color. After a few words by the chief, the first service was ended and a grand rush made for the grave, which had been dug in the grand placita in front of the chapel. To this the corpse was trans­ported and gently dropped on the pile of earth at tne side of its last resting- place, Again the chief exhorted for a moment, and the corpse was hauled into the grave by two braves who stood iu the opening, and who crawled out as soon as they had laid the corpse fiat with his face turned toward the place from whence shall come his Montezu­ma. In a moment all was excitement, and the qrowd rush closer to the grave. As fast as they could gather they (scraped in the loose dirt, and then filed off to two immense jars containing wa­ter, rinsed their hands and reverently extended them toward the sun to be dried. It was a novel sight. An In­dian descended into the grave with a heavy battering post, and as fast as the dirt was thrown in “settled” it. The water from the jars was poured in to help the earth, while the brawny muscles of the braves continued the pounding process. At last the grave was filled and the victim planted to the evident satisfaction of those engaged in the undertaking. After a few congratulatory glances among the chief operators, a solemn procession was formed and it proceeded outside the town, where the jars were broken to atoms with great ceremony. While this was being done one of the elder* threw away, with a great show of mys- ter3T, some Indian bread, which was to nourish the soul of the departed on its journey ̂ to the happy hunting grounds. Thus were the ceremonies ended. — Cor. St. Louis Olobe-Democrat.

A Prince Earning His Living.

Some months ago we called attention to the interesting fact that one of the Empress of Austria's brothers, Charles Theodor, Duke in Bavaria, had succesa- fulty passed the examinations qualifying him to practice as an oculist, and that it was his intention to devote his life to that particular branch of the healing art, in which he had achieved no ordinaryr rofieiency. It appears that his Royal lighness’s first operation for cataract.

Cierformed by him upon a citizen of )resden shortly after he had obtained

his diploma, resulted in the complete restoration of sight to his patient, and we uow learn that he has again oper­ated with entire success upon a sufferer from cataract in the Munich Hospital. The Prince is a regular attendant at Prof. Arlt’s lectures on diseases of the eye, and has in no respect relaxed the arduousness of his studies since He has become a regular licensed member of the Faculty. Indeed, if report speaks truly, * his Royal Highness Dr. Charles Theodor von Wittelsbach is fairly on the way to at­tain high rank among the more eminent practical oculists of Southern Germa­ny. In choosing so noble a profession, not as a mere pastime, but with tho high resolve of alleviating human suf­fering, this illustrious gentleman ha* set a splendid example to his fellow Princes, the majority of whom, unfor­tunately, have hitherto displayed a greater predilection for tho study of science aiming at the destruction rather than at tiie saving of life.

T he London Times pronounces it scandalous that police discipline and public decorum should bo so lax in that city as to render an evening’s stroll for women of character in frequented re­do -ts all but impossible.

The stock ings by the chim ney side,The generous logs th a t heap ft wide,Stir m em ories th a t bring again The long-lost Joy, and hope, und pain;These with unheeding eyes wo see A bout the glistening Christm as tre e —For far-otf years stand silent by,Nor m ingle with the revelry.

The rad ian t earth sleeps clad in white.But C hristm as cheer hath C hristm as n lgh t-Tho woodland odors on the airWork th e ir sweet spell to banish care,And in the Joy of childhood's play Our hearts break blossom and are g ay —The sw eetness of life 's cup we try W ith m erry Christm as revelry.

ltlch are the stores of garnered tim e;High beats the pulse of need sublim o;Strong is tho com radeship of years;K een is tho fellowship of tears;None are forgot, o u r love is strong And does the presen t hour no wrong,Tho' voiceless races linger nigh And share our C hristm as revelry.

While ou r pulses leap and tingle.Fancy following w here they go;

O thers’ errands wo a re finding.For our thought is one, beneath

Many right good wishes binding In tho tnagio holly w reath!

Wo are w ith them , gaily, kindly,And the ir burden one with ours;

We forsake our sorrow, blindly,(.’over up our g rief with tlowors;

Clasp we hands above our altar.Thus forgot a conscious wrong,

Tho' o u r happy v o le s falter l a the old-tim e C hristm as song!

PAYI.IfJIIT.A shining arrow, swiff anti keen,

The young and eager morn lets ily—A shaft to p ierce the pallid dawn.

And part the cu rta in s o f tho sky;The frosty casem ent, glim m ering chill,

Across tho shadowy room I see.When, with the lirst aw akening thrill,

A m essage com es to me.

W ithout, the cold g ray hills stand fast Before the stiver rim of heaven.

Within, the shuddering night is passed.And light anti hope are newly g iven ;

I gaze, and lift my soul in prayer,Awed by the solem n stress o f morn,

For lo! the im m ortal Day is h e re—To us a Child is born!

We slept beneath tho ban of night.Whose seal on brow and eyelids lay,

But with the dawn receive ou r sight.And hail the Christ at break of day l

On yonder height we see her rise - The m orning passionless and pale;

Our P riestess, with the vostal eyes Behind the tw ilight veil.

I leave the childish voices m ute.Whose Christm as greetings sw eeter chime,

And steal Itclnw with noiseless foot,To'seek alone the household sh rine;

The hearth is cold, th e a lta r bare, llu t g ifts and tokens piled above

A ttest the old-tim e olTcring there ,The sacrillco of love.

A stir, a whisper overheard,A p a tte rin g sound of baby feet;

A burst of stilled laugh ter led By voices ringing sw eet:

The W intry tw ilight slips awny And leaves my silen t homage done;

While forw ard leaps th e ex u ltan t day, Touched by the rising sun!

What eyes the holy vigil kept.W hat hand p repared the C hristm as choer,

W hile still the vo tive m aidens s le p t—The hallowed hour drew near?

Beyond our ken the m ystery lies,The love D ivine we dare not say:

Yet hearts by hum an love m ade wise May welcome C hristinas Day!

POPSY AND PEASE.It was the day before Christmas.

Something had happened.It was not that the (ire was out. The

fire was apt to be out where Popsy and Pease lived. It was not that they had j not had any dinner. Pease and Popsy very often had no dinner. It was not altogether that Pease had been crying. Poor little Pease cried so much that she and Popsy had both got used to it. It was not so much that Popsy had a sore throat. Popsy usually had a sore throat. It was not even that Popsy had cut his finger. Popsy was a^t to cut his finger when he tried to stuff the broken win­dow to keep the wind from Pease. Nor was it entirely that it snowed. It usually snowed since Tom Joggins got drunk, and stuck a mop-handle through the window, and so made room for the storm to come in on Pease. Then it was not the landlady exactly. To be sure, she had just been up, and said she “ couldn’t be bodered with the two of ’em, bad luck to ’em, and they must take theirsels off sharp!" The land­lady almost always said that. The thing which had happened had never happened before; it could never, never happen again to Popsy and Pease. The thing which had happened was worse than the landlady, it was worse than the snow-storm, it was worse than a broken window, it was worse than no fire, and worse than no dinner; it hurt worse than a sore throat, and it ached harder than the blue, cut finger that Popsy put shivering out to wrap the end of nis old tippet round the neck and shoulders of little Pease.

The thing which had happened was that Mamma was dead.

Tho window might be mended, if ono had the glass. The fire could be lighted, if anybody brought wood. The land­lady would stop talking, if people paid their rent. If you hurt your finger or vour throat, you might get well. Even Pease would not cry forever and ever. The snow itself would stoop softly and lie down in the streets and stop one

day, and the grass would come, and it would be spring.

But when your mother is dead there is nothing to be done.

Popsy, in Popsy’s way, thought of all this, or some of it, or enough of it to understand that something, not like anything else in the world, had hap­pened to himself and his sister Pease.

“ It can’t unhappen,” said Popsy, speaking quite aloud.

Pease stopped crying and looked up. Pease was pretty—when she had had her dinner and a tire, and when it didn’t snow in the window, and when her mamma was there to brush her hair, and tie the plaid tippet on somehow different — how did mamma tie that tippet? Popsy wondered, studying tho twist of the fringe gravely and with care. He liked to see Pease look pretty, even if the fire were out.

“ Sweet Pease,” mamma used to call her. Her mamma was different from the landlady and Mrs. Joggins. They had little girls, but they called them Bet, and Bridget, and Mariarann. Popsy thought his mother had been dif­ferent from everybody in the world. True, ho did not know a great many people in the world, but he felt sure of this. His mamma did not let them play with Bet and Mariarann.

His papa was dead, too. Mamma said he was in Heaven with the Lord Jesus. But that didn’t matter so much, because ' Popsy could not remember about him. All that Popsy could re­member was that they had come from place to place, and room to room, he and mamma and Pease; and that everything that happened happened worse than the last thing, and now the worst of all had happened, and mamma lay tlead upon the bed in the corner one day, and another day a man came and took her oft', and Tom Joggins said they had buried her. And it was cold, and Pease was crying, and his finger ached—anil when mamma made rutiled nightgowns—a dozen for fifty cents— they sometimes had a dinner, and a breakfast, too—bread, maybe, and mo­lasses, or an Indian meal pudding.

“ Wished I had bread’nlarsy!” sobbed Pease at that very minute.

“ ’N a little Injun pudden!” wailed Popsy.

“ Jes’ acracker, Popsy!” cried Sweet Pease.

“ Once she had a sou—on—oup with a bone into it!” added Popsy, drawing in his breath and tasting his own lips.

“ I’m cold, Popsy!” said Pease, be­ginning to cry as if she had never cried before in all her life, and had found a new and absorbing kind of occupation by which to pass the time.

“ You get bread nlarsy!” sobDed the baby. “ Please Popsy, bread’nlarsy!”

Sweet Pease put up her little blue lips and kissed I’opsy in the neck; just as she did when she teased him for his old broken top, or his two marbles, or her turn to plague the landlady’s yellow cat waiting for mice upon the stair.

I don’t know how we can explain to one another why this seemed to Popsy the hardest thing that had happened yet. How shall we?

Popsy jumped down from his chair, and stood still in the middle of the room. He looked at Pease. His breath came fast like that of a boy who is fighting. He felt like a man. And Sweet Pease, sitting there, looked like a little woman to poor Popsy.

“ I’d ought to take care of my little sister!” said Popsy, with a grand look. After that he stood and thought a little more.

“ Pease,” said Popsy, then more soft­ly. “ I know. But we’ll say our prayers first.”

Sweet Pease stopped crying, and Popsy got hold of iter hand, and they knelt down. But it was just as cold for all that. Then Pease said, “ Now I lay me,” and Pepsy said, “ Our Fath­er,” for they did not know what else to say, and then Pease began:

“ Dear Zhesus, ever at my side” —but couldn’t remember tho rest of that prayer, and Popsy said he guessed that was enough, and so they got up again, and Pease began to cry again. And they were just as hungry as they were before.

“ Raver have bread’nlarsy!” sobbed poor Pease. “ Ilaver have bread’nlarsy zan p’avers, Popsy!”

“ You wait,” said Popsy, important­ly. “ We’ve got some business to ’tend to.”

So Popsy went to the table-drawer where his dear dead mammakept things —not many things, to be sure—but all she had. And in the drawer he found a pencil and a half sheet of paper. And when Pease said;

“ What you doin’, Popsy?”“ Writin’ letters,” Popsy said. “You

hush up, Peasie!”But he sat down and wrote, for all

that. And he looked grander and grand­er as he wrote.

Now Popsy couldn’t write, exactly; but he could print. He told Pease he wondered if they could read printing; and Pease asked. “ Who?”

“ The folks I’m writing to,” said Popsy.

So he wrote on and on. And as he wrote he looked grander and grander. Sweet Pease had never seen him look so grand. Yet he had a gentle look, and the tears were wei upon his cheeks.

By and by the letter was done. And Popsy said:

“ Now we’ll come!”But Sweet Pease never asked him

where, and went at once.So Popsy tied the plaid tippet round

her head, and he put his old cap on, what there was of it. and they started o u t .

They started out into the storm. They had each other’s hands. Popsy held Sweet Pease very hard and tight; he thought she might blow away.

The landlady saw them go, and cried out, “ Good riddance to them!” and Tim Joggins saw them, and he said

they’d better go to the p’lice—for Tim was not very drunk and a little kind. But Popsy said:

“ Never you mind where we go!” And he held up his head and looked as grand as a very small hoy could look in a very big storm. But to Pease he said:

*’ I’m goin’ on business. I’m goin’ to post my letter.”

So by-and-by they came to a letter box. It was covered with ice and snow. So was Popsy. So was Pease. So was the letter, too.

So was the letter-carrier, coming at that moment down the street, far away, and dim, and white, yet seeming to move mistily and swiftly tike tho an­gels that we see in the background of pictures.

It was so snowv that it was all Popsy could do to stand on tiptoe long enough to slip his freezing letter into tne frozen box. When he nad done that Pease began to cry. She said she was cold and must go home.

“ I wanted to wait for an answer,” said Popsy, reluctantly. But Pease cried twice as hard as ever.

“I s’pose I must go home with her,” said Popsy, talking to himself. “She is my little sister. I mustn't let her stay ’n cry. I can come back and get my answer.”

So Popsy turned and trudged away. The storm beat upon them. The two little figures seemed to bend and sink within it.

“ Young ones?” said the letter-carrier,Canting up. He shaded his eyes with

is hand, and looked through the hit­ter sleet. The little figures faded and departed in it, Popsy holding Sweet Pease by the hand.

“Pity!” thought the carrier. And then he thought no more about it.

He thought no more about it, till he took out his bunch of letters to sort them under cover from the wet. Then all at once he stopped, and said—

“ Wh—ee—ee!”And he said nothing more till he got

to the post-office. But when he was there, he beckoned to a clerk, and stopped again.

“ What's up?” asked tho clerk.“ I—vum,” said the carrier.“ We all know that. You frequently

do,” said the clerk, impatiently. “ What do you vum to-day?”

“ Look at this —vummed letter,” said the carrier, more softly.

It was a half sheet of paper, crooked­ly folded, soiled, tumbled; there were traces of blood upon it, too; and the melted ice; it was wet and limp, it was addressed in a child’s scrawl, in printed letters—a slight and senseless tiling.

But this hit of useless paper bore the stamp of the great Mail Service of the United States. The clerk and the car­rier dared not pass it by.

“ Just you look,” said the carrier.He spoke in a singular tone, as of one

a little in awe or fear. The clerk and the carrier gathered together, bending their heads under the gaslight across the paper in their hands.

This was the address upon the letter. In spite of the wet. inspiteof the blood, in spite of the wrinkles, in spite of the stumpy old pencil, and the blue, cold fingers that had traced it, the super­scription was quite plain and clear:

“ to The Lori) Jesus C H lllst I lO S T o y ."

The carrier looked at the clerk. The clerk looked at the carrier.

“ 1—vum,” repeated the carrier. “ I’m—dum,” said the clerk.And, indeed, he seemed to be.“ Must have been them young ones,”

said the carrier.“ Expects us to know which way to

mail it, I suppose,” said the clerk.He tried to laugh; but over his face,

too, there stole a look like one a little in fear or awe.

Another man came up, two or three gathered; they lounged and looked on idly. They leaned over the carrier's shoulder. Suddenly they broke into hoarse and heavy laughter. Then as suddenly they grew still. Eacli looked at the other strangely, and there was an awkward pause.

“ Poor little fools!” said one man, softly.

“ I ain’t so sure who’s the fools, Bill!” said another. But the carrier continued to say:

“ I—vum!”“ Got a two-cent stamp on, too,”

said the servant of the United States Mail at last. “Must do something with it. Boys, the chap thought he lived in Boston, ’pon my word, he did.”

One man laughed again, but only one.

“ It’s clear a city stamp won’t carry the thing far enough,” said the clerk. “ I shall hold it,” he added, gravely, “ for insufficient postage,” and he did.

The storm was over. Through the broken window the sun shone in fine lines between the heavy frost that over­swept the pane; it lay upon the lloor in a glare of white, cold light, itself like a sheet of ice. Popsy ana Pease sat cud­dled together in it.

“It’s warmer,” said Popsy, “ ’most.” “ I’m co’old!” said Pease, putting up

her lip again. She hadn’t cried ail night.

The landlady came and tucked them up in an old rug of hers, that kept them warm at times; for she had kind thoughts now and then, like other cross

Seople. And Tim Joggins was so runk that he gave them a johnny-cake

for supper; and so they had got along. Besides, it was morning, and that makes such a difference in this world.

“I’m going out now,” said Popsy, the first thing, “on business.”

“Pease, too, Popsy,” said Sweet Pease, with perfect assurance, scram­bling to her feet.

“You cry so,” said Popsy. He did not want to have to turn round again with her this time.

“Oh no,” said Sweet Pease, cheerful­ly. “/ don’t ky.”

"Who does, thenP” asked Popsy; but he twisted her up in the old plaid tip­pet, and let her go.

“Somebody Tries," said Pease, thoughtfully, as they trotted along in the brilliant, biting air. "But ’taint me. 1 don’t ky. Lord Zhesus Kist kies, I guess. Somebody kied. Guess it’s Lord Zhesus. Popsy!”

Perfectly satisfied with this theologi­cal explanation of her personal faults, Sweet rease clung to Popsy’s hand, anil drew in her breath complacently, laugh-

[ ing softly as they went. If anybody was I to do blamed, the Lord Zhesus seemed to Pease as convenient a person as could he found.

At all events. Pease could not think of anyone else just then, except Mr. Joggins—and he gave them their sup­per, which was more than the Lord Jesus did, poor Pease thought. She wouldn’t have Tim Joggins blamed.

“I arxpect an answer,” said Popsy, as they panted on in the cutting wind, “an answer to my letter.”

“What letter?” asked Pease, who had forgotten all about it.

“My letter to the Lord Jesus,” said Popsy; “the one I mailed yesterday.”

“ Can He wite pwint?”“ Oh yes,” said Popsy, simply. “ I’m

sure He can. I guess He's got so far as I writing, Pease. Don’t you be afraid. I | don’t b’lieve He has to print notes to little boys. But I don’t know where to find the letter, ’zactly,” added Popsy, with an air of suppressed anxiety. “ But don’t you be afraid. He’ll an­swer the letter, Pease.”

“ Maybe it’ll ho on the letter-box,” said Pease, becoming interested in the matter. “ Maybe it’ll come out that little hole, I should fink. Will it come this morning, Popsy?”

“ Sometime to-day, I guess,” replied Popsy, stoutly.

So when they came in sight of the letter-box there was somebody there. It was the carrier. He did not look dim, as he dirt yesterday in the storm, but shining and clear, for the sun fell full on him; as if a figure had stepped from the background to the foreground of a picture.

The sun fell so full that Popsy and Pease were a little blinded and con­fused as they looked.

“ It’s the letter-man,” said Popsy, “ but there’s somebody with him. There’s another man.”

And truly there was. A gentleman stood beside the carrier. He shaded his eyes with his hand, and seemed to be watching.

“ There,” said the carrier, “ I told you so. Thought thoy’d come back to this box to see after it, the poor little fools! I vum, sir. Them are the very young ones. There they be. Look across there. A boy and a gal. The gal has a sort of plaided tippet round her. See?”

“ Yes, I see,” said the gentleman, softly, still shading his eyes, which had grown blinding wet, as the little figures of the children toiled towards him on the shining, slippery street,

i “ The light’s vummed strong,” ob- | served the carrier, respectfully. “Spe- | cially for parsons, I take it. Parsons ain’t never much on eyesight. But I always did say they war the chaps for such like business. Pm glad I told you, sir. I knew you’d come. I knew the young ones would come, too. I lay and thought on’t all night. Ain’t a pious man, you know, sir, but seemed to me ’f anybody was to be swore into such like service, a parson was the chap. Always felt to home with you, sir, since you buried my boy, though I ain’t a pew-holder nor a professor, sir. He wasn’t bigger’a that little cove, Johnny wasn’t, sir. Thought on’t yes­terday, and my wife sets a sight by you. She perfesses. So I thought I’d run up and get the letter, sir, this morning, and between us and the po­lice, sir, we would find the j’oung ones. How they walk! Kinder tuckered out with the cold. I—vum. Wa’al, I guess we’ll wait right here.”

They waited silently; only now and then the carrier vummed a little below his breath when Pease slipped down or PopBy stopped to put his bare, cut hand to his sore throat, as if it hurt him more than he expected.

The minister stood with one hand across his eyes. He was a pale man, with a gentle face. In his other hand, which shook a little, he held a piece of paper, soiled, wet, blood-stained, crumpled. It was Popsy's letter. It was open, and this was how it read:

“ D E A r L O l l D j e s u s e h r f s T s w e a t l ’e a s is m Y L i t t f . e S I M T e r a n d s h e i s c o i . d W E h a r m E n n y t l u r n o i l d i n o r a n m a n n a I S d o d N o r e n n y B o d y e l s e o c t h E l l 1 t b o r t Y o u d L i k e t u n o .

•• P l e a s s e n d M E S n n i H o d y a n d S u m S u p e r JPO lt m y l i t t l e s i s t e r y o u r s ' f r c u l y P o p s y . ’

The minister stood in the blinding sun, the carrier just behind him. The tiny toiling figures of the children came nearer, drew closer and stopped. It was deadly cold at that corner by the letter-box, but Pease forgot to cry.

Popsy steppeil up to the carrier. He had on his grand look. Pease turned her face toward him confidingly. She was sure she had never seen him look quite so grand.

“ Any letters for m e?” asked Popsy; “ I arxpoct a letter.”

“ What’s your nameP” asked the car­rier.

“ My name is Popsy. My mamma is dead. This is my little sister. Her name is Pease. She’s very little. I take care of her. I wrote a letter for her. Is there any answer for me?”

“ This gentleman’ll answer that vummed letter," said the carrier. The carrier looked embarrassed.

Popsy went up to the minister, who had not spoken, hut stood silently re­garding the children. It was dazzling bright where the minister stood, with snow and ice about him and behind him. Popsy thought he shone. The child took off his old thin cap.

the Lord Jeaus, sir?’“ Are you asked Popsy.

“ You’re Lord Zhesus P ” e ch o e d Pease.

But the minister, too, took off his hat. he ami the child stood bareheaded to­gether under the wintry heavens.

“ I am His servant, my poor boy,” said the minister, in a low voioe: “ I am His servant.”

“ Servant*”Popsy looked puzzled for a minute.“ Did He send you on a message?

Did He told you—did He arx you—to answer ftiTtaes’ letters? ”

" I think He did. We will hope He did," said the minister, but lower yet. “ Come with me, and we will find out wha ̂ He says about you, if we can.”

But Popsy said:"W e’re pretty hungry, and my froat

is sore. But I arxpected Him to auswer.I thought He would.”

Now when he turned, he saw that the carrier, too, had lifted his fine gray cap, and the servant of the great United States and the servant of the great Lord Jesus stood both uncovered be fore the child.

“ I want some zhonny-cake!” said Sweet Pease, unexpectedly. “I want a zhonny-cake because I’m co-o-old!”

It was Sunday, and the church was full. It was always full, but this Sun­day it flowed over. For the story of the children had slid from lip to l i p - fast as kind thoughts and loving deeds do, thank Heaven! though in a world where children freeze and mothers die —and it had gone abroad that the min­ister would preach to the people, in his Christmas sermon, about Pease and Popsy, and he did.

The carrier’s wife was there to hear; and the carrier sat beside her. He felt

j strange without his gray uniform, in his old-fashioned Sunday coat that he hadn’t worn since he could remember,

j The Post-office clerk who held the let- I ter for insufficient postage was there, j too; and one or two other clerks, and a | friend or so of the carrier’s besides, and ! half a dozen friends of Mrs. Carrier’s, ami in fact, a great many people who did not go to church very much were there that day to hear that sermon about the little boy who wrote letters to the Lord Jesus Christ, and thought the United States mail sefvice in daily com­munication with the court of Heaven.

Popsy was not there, for his throat was too sore; he was in a warm bright room in the Children’s Hospital, drink­ing hot chicken-soup, when the church- bell rang. And Pease was not there, for she was not big enough, Mrs. Car­rier said; and Mrs. Carrier ought to know, for she had promised to take care of her for a week.

Sweet Pease, in fact, was at home by the fire witli the Carrier children, eat-

! ing “ zhonny-cake,” when the long prayer began.

It was a short sermon, for the minis­ter could not say a great deal, he felt and thought so much about Pease and Popsy. But when he told the story, just as it had happened, and when he asked the people what he should do about Popsy, and when he said;

“ O my people, I have been thinking how proud you will be that you can be chosen to carry the Master’s answer to the little boy!”

And when he prayed;“ Lord, give us a faith like the faith

of the child whom Thou hast brought among us,” there was a stir upon the still air of the church; and presently there came an answer from the people. For they consulted together, ana chose an old white-haired man to be their spokesman, and he carried their mes­sage to the minister, and this was it.

“ The members of this church would feel it a privilege to adopt the little ones as the wards of this church, pro­viding for them in all their temporal and spiritual needs so far as power is given to us. The members of this church would thank their pastor for representing to those orphan children the love of God, and the pity of His Son our Saviour, whoso messenger their pastor is.

“ I and my wife wanted to say,” said the carrier, Monday evening, to the minister, “ that if so be you couldn’t find anybody that wanted ’em; for good homes are skerce, sir, and orphans plenty—we would do our vummed best, sir. We’ve got six. But mv wife took a notion to the girl. Anu the boy is just the size, sir, of the one you buried.”

“ It don’t seem, sir, as if a man that was chosen to deliver letters to that Ad­dress had ought to pass it by as if it wasn’t a vummed oncommon occur­rence.—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in Youth's Companion.

Clgurs Lighted With Greenbacks.( f r o m t h e l i a l l i i n o r e H u n . ]

Mrs Kmuia Simms, residing at No. 1825 Fifth street Northwest,, Washiugiou City, but stopping iu Baltimore, dropped a package uf notes, amounting (o $1,890, from her pocket on North Gay street, near Dallas street, the other morning. The mouey, somewhat scattered about, w h s

picked up by Mr. Joliu Meyers, lie remembered that ‘it was the day of the grand procession, and looked upon the shower of greenbacks as a sham or some advertising delusion; lie at ouce resolved to make it a complete give away, and hauded around the money to all who desired it with an abandon beautiful to behold. Scenes that were ludicrous in the extreme ensued, though their ending was serious. The idea of Mr. Meyers took readily, and 5 ceut cigars were coolly lighted with $20 notes, nearly all the money being in notes of that denomination. Street gamins pasted a few arouud on awning posts to deceive unsus­pecting straugers. A boy sold one $20 note for 23 cents, and it is said $500 additional were sold for the same amount. A lady, residing not fur away, got a $20 note, which she said she would keep in memory of the great celebration. A friend begged her for it that she mi gilt frame it aud keep it, and the lady gave it to her Mrs. Simms meanwhile informed Officer Gibson of her loss. lie hastened to the spot, and mauuged to recover $450 of the amount, among it the $20 note gotten by the lady mentioned above. The discovery of the facts caused consternation among those who hud so freely made away with what they believed to be bogus treasure and much regret was expressed for the loss sustained by Mrs. Simms. The case is decidedly one of the most singular on record.

Loving u whole Family.“I don’t want to make any trouble, bul

there is oue man in ibis city who ought to be gibbeted!” began a blunt spoken woman of forty five as she stood before the officials of the Twentieth Street Station a day or two ago.

When they inquired for particulars she handed out a letter and said:

“Observe the envelope. That letter is addressed to me. You will see that the writer calls me his jessamine, and he wants me to set au early day for the wedding.”

When the Captain had finished the letter she was ready with another, adding:

“And this is addressed to my daughter Lucrctia. You will see that he calls her his rosy angel, and lie says he can’t live if she doesn't marry him. It’s the same man.”

So it was, aud the letter was as tender as spring chicken. That finished, she handed out a third, with the remark:

“This is directed to my daughter Helen. It’s the very same man, and iu it he calls her his pansy, and he says he dteatns Of her”

“ Why I10 seemed to love the whole family,” remarked the Captain

“That’s just it. I’m a widow with two daughters, and lie was courting 11s all at once, and engaged to the three of us at the same time. Oh! what wretches there are in this world!”

“ Yes, iudeed. It s lucky you found him I out.”

“ Vos, it is. If I hadn’t he might have married the whole caboodle of us. If Lucrctia hadn't opened one of my letters, and if 1 hadn’t searched the gills' pockets while they were asleep we'd have thought him an innocent lamb.”

“And do you want him arrested?"“No, I guess not, but I want this matter

to go into the papers as a warning to other women. Just think of bis sitting up with me Sunday night, Lucrctia on Wednesday night and Helen on Friday night, and call­ing each oue of us his climbing rose! Oh! sir, the women ought to know what a deceiving animal man is!”

“ Yes, lie’s pretty tough."“ It has learned me a lesson,’’ she said as

she was ready to go. “The next man that comes sparking around my house lisvs got to come right out and say which he’s after. If it’s the girls 1 won’t say nothing, and if it’s me it won’t do ’em a bit of good to slam things around and twit me of burying two husbands!"

Victor H ugo was recently seen, on a cold day, riding out in a hired cab, and wearing a straw hat. He looks healthy, and has the air of a well-to-do burgeois or retired merchant.

Mr. Gladstone having been asked some little tirno ago if ho did not con­sider Tennyson tne greatest genius of the age, replied in the negative, and added that without doubt Disraeli mer­ited that title.

John Rcskin says that he was a home-bred boy, and that as diligently and scrupulously as his mother taught him his Bible and Latin grammar, so his father devotedly taught him Scott, Pope and Byron.

Kate Fijld says the marked differ­ence between English and American newspapers is that the latter have a capacity for keen and witty paragraphs, while the former—as, for example, the London rimes—often devote a column to what might be condensed into a dozen lines.

Miss Edmonia Lewis, the colored sculptor, is very happy in her Roman studio.

The almanacs for ’81 are out already. Each of them promises exactly the same number of eclipses next year. Now, if some enterprising publisher would get up an almanac throwing in half a dozen •extra eclipses and a comet or two, he would sweep the market.

An Alarm-Clock Superfluous.A persevering “ notions’’ cinvasser

walked into a lawyer’s office in San Francisco with a new kind of alarm- clock. The man of ouibbles was evi­dently interested ana heard him pa­tiently to the end. When it came to his turn to get in a word, which in these cases is about once in an hour and a half, he spake as in hereafter con­tained: “ My friend, I firmly believe that that alarm-clock is worth Spven dollars, as you state, and that you are foolish to offer it to me for two and a half; that it will go every half hour for sixteen months without winding up and wake up an elephant every pop. My heart tells me this is true, and I am simply aching to give you four times the price you demand. But when I in­form you that I have an infant threo months old at home afflicted with per­petual colic, and a baby going on three who insists on having a drink of water at regular intervals during the night, and never sleeps after four o’clock in the morning, do you not think that my investment in this beautiful invention which you are retailing might, in a measure, be characterized as extrava- gantP" That olock agent nodded, as­sented, picked up his hat, put up his alarum and retired.

HOW CHRISTMAS CAME TO TONI.“ Now, T eddie, be a good boy,

there’s a darling, and, little Clover, don’t tease Daisy. Please let mamma go away to church and know that you are all sweet and lovely and dead asnew little pennies to-night."

Splash went one little body into the bath-tub, and splash went another, andagain a third; and then, like so many roses after a shower, out they came dripping, and laughing and screaming with glee. The little mother was kept busy enough, for it was Christmas-eve, and the carols and anthems were to be rehearsed for the last time, and Mrs. Morton’s clear soprano voice could not be spared. Indeed, her voice was all that kept Teddie and Clover and Daisy in their neat little box of a house, for their father, a brave fireman, had been killed more than two years before at a fearful fire, and since then their mother had striven hard to maintain her little family by sewing and singing, and do­ing what ever work her slender hands could accomplish which would bring in food and clothing for her children.

“ Be dood, Teddie,” repeated Daisy, after her mother, as she shook out her little wet curls at him, and Clover sol­emnly raised his finger at his bigger brother, with the warning:

“ Remember Santa Claus comes to­night.”

“ Yes, and the stockings must be hung up,” said Ted, who forthwith proceeded to attend to that important duty.

“ There! how do they look?—one brown, that’s mine; one blue, that’s Clover's; and one red, that's Darisy’s.” They were pinned fast to the fender with many pins and much care.

“ But, mamma,” said Clover, “ the stove’s in the way. Santa Claus can’t get down with that big black thing stopping the chimney.”

“ Oh, the fire will go out by and by, and then he may creep through the stove-pipe and out of tho door.”

“ He’ll be awful dirty, then,” said Daisy.

“ Well, ‘he was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot,’ so that is to be expected. But really, dear children, you must jump into your beds, and let me tuck you up; it is time for me to go.”

Very quickly the rosy little faces were nestling in the pillows, and Mrs. Mor­ton, after kissing them, put out the lamp and left them to their slumbers. Hastily putting on her cloak and bon­net, she paused at the door of her sit­ting room to see if the fire was safe. The room' was dark but for the gleam­ing stove, the chairs and table were all in order, and in one corner, under a covering of paper, was the little tree she had decked in odd moments to de­light the eyes of her children. She could not afford wax candles, so the morning was to bring the tree as well as the other gifts. Sure that all was in readiness, she tripped down the stairs, locked her door and sped over the snow to the church, the two tall towers of which stood out against the Btarry sky.

As she entered the church, her mind full of her duties and her heart tender with thought* of her children, she thought she saw a dusky little object crouching in the angle made by the towers; but she was already late, and had no time to linger. Up sne went to the choir, which was full ot light, but the body of the church was dark. Without any words, she took up her sheet of music and began to sing. Never had the carols and anthems seemed so sweet to her, and her voice rose clear and pure as a bird’s. The organist paused to listen, and her com­panions turned satisfied glances upon her; but she went on unconsciously, as a bird doer until the burden of its

theme is finished, and its exultant strains are lost in silence. They went over the whole Church service, the glo­rious Tt Dtum, the Benedictus and the anthem for the day, “ Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given,” and every delicate chord and fugue had to be repeated until the desired perfection of harmony was attained. It was really a very long and arduous study; but of all days Christmas demands good music, aud they were willing to do their best. At last all were satisfied and somewhat tired; but the organist turned to Mrs. Morton, and asked her if she would sing one hymn for him alone, as he especially desired to hear her voice in this one tune. Of course she could not refuse, aud to an exqui­sitely harmonious air she began.“ C a l m o n t h e l l s t o n i n g e a r o f n i g h t

C o m o H e a v e n ' s m e l o d i o u s s t r a i n s ,W h e r e w i l d J u d t e n s t r e t c h e r f u r

H e r s i l v e r - m a n t l e d p l a i n s .

“ L i g h t o n t h y h i l l s , . l e n t S a l e m I T h o S a v i o r n o w U b o r n !

A n d b r i g h t , o n B e t h l e h e m ' s j o y o u s p l a i n s , I i r e u k s t h e H i n t C h r i s t m a s m o r n . ”

Only the first and last verses of that exquisite hymn; but like “angels with therr sparkling lyres," her voice seemed to have lost its earthliness, and soared, as if it were winged, up to the very gate of Heaven. When she ceased gmg'utg, there was a hush upon all, as if they had been carried near to the ce­lestial portals.

One by one they pressed her hand in quiet congratulation, and with a “Mer­ry Christmas” bade her good-night.

Mrs. Morton was a little excited with her unusual efforts, and while tho old organist was locking up, thought she would run down and warm herself in the church. As she hastened toward the great heater, she tripped over some­thing, which, to her great surprise and alarm, she perceived what appeared to be a great bundle was in reality a sleep­ing child.

Yes, a child, and a little one—a boy of not more than seven years, with elf­ish brown locks, and eyelashes which swept the olive tint of his cheek. All curled up in a heap, in clothes which a man might have worn, so bigand shape­less were they, with one arm under his head for a pillow, and the other tightly5rasping a vioiin. Far had he wan-

ered in the cold wintry air, until, at­tracted by the light and warmth of the great church, he had stolen in for shel­ter, and then as his little ears drank in the melody of the rehearsing choir, and the warmth comforted him, ne fell fast asleep. He was dreaming now of the warm sunny land of his birth: olive- trees and orchards, purple clusters of the vineyards, donkeys laden with oranges, and the blue sky of Naples shining over the blue bay. Then, in his dream, an angel came floating down out of the pure ether, wafting sweet perfumes on its white wings, and sing­ing—oh! what heavenly strains!—till his little soul was filled with joy; for the angel seemed to be his mother who had died, and her kind voice again saluted him, and he answered Boftlv, “ Madre mia!”

“Poor child!” said Mrs. Morton, soft­ly, “it seems a pity to waken him, but we must do it; ne cannot stay here all night.” The old organist touched him: but his sleep was too sound for a touch to arouse him, and Mrs. Morton had to again aud again lift his head and stroke his little brown hand, before, with amazed and widely fearful looks, he an­swered them.

“Who are you, child, and what are you doing hereP” asked the organist.

“I’m Toni, Toni,” was the answer, and he began to cry. “Oh, please let me go; the Padrone will kill me.”

“Why will he kill you, and why are you here?”

“He will kill me because I have no money. I have lost, also, my way.”

“Have you no home, no motherP” asked Mrs. Morton, gently.

“No, signora, no, madame, no moth­er. We ail live, Baptiste and Vincenzo and I, with the Padrone. We play the harp and the violin; but I was tired, and I could not keep with the others, and they scolded me, oh, so sharply! and I was weary and cold, and crept in

the organist, “ I will take care of him to-night.” So, under the stars, the

here where the angels sing, and it was so beautiful I could not go away.”

The organist muttered, “Police,” at which the child again sobbed violently. “Yes, to the station house, ef course, he must go.”

But Mrs. Morton remembered the three faces asleep on their pillows at home, and as she looked at this tear- stained, dirty little gypsy, she said to

ie organist, “ I will ti i-nignl

Christmas stars, gleaming so brightly, she led the little wanderer home.

All was still and safe in the little house. “ Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” The fire still gleamed in the kitchen and the sitting- room, and it was the work of only a few moments to divest the little musi­cian of hi» uncouth garments, to pop him into the tub of hot suds, to scrub him well, until his lean little body shone like bronze, to slip him into a night-gown, to give him a slice of bread and butter, and then to tuck him up on the cozy lounge.

The children slept like tops, and the tired little mother was glad to say her prayers, and lie down beside them.

The stars were still shining when she awoke; for Christmas-day would be a busy one, and there were no moments to lose. Already the milkman was at door, and the hands of the kitchen clock pointed to six.

Hand what was that?A long, low, sweet sound, like a voice

calling ner. She listened, and again it came. “ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,” so it seemed to breathe. Then it rose in a gay carol, a sweet gushing thanksgiving, and tho children came tumbling down in their nightgowns; they rusned to the door of the sitting-

room, and there beside his improvised bed stood the young musician, playing on his violin as if all the world were hit audience. His browu eyes dashed now with light, and then grew dark and tender, as he drew the sweet sounds out. The children gazed in wonder­ment: where had this child come from? had he dropped from the stars? had an angel come among themP He played on. and on, until, from sheer fatigue, he put his instrument down. Then Teddie and Clover aud Daisy came about him; they touched his Uands, his curly locks, his violin, to see if all were real. Then they whirled round the room in a mad dance of delight, for the mother had uncovered the tree, and it was really Christmas morning.

Ah, what a happy day for poor little Toni! How nice he looked In Teddie's clothes! how gentle he was with Daisy! how he frolicked with Clover! and when Mrs. Morton came from church, how softly he played all his pretty melodies for her! It was a day of feast and gladness; and when, to her surprise

I and pleasure, a committee of church people waited upon Mrs. Morton to give her a purse through the meshes of which glittered gold pieces, she said

i then and there that Toni should never go to tho harsh and cruel Padrone again.

Perhaps some time as vou listen to a sweet voice singing to tbe accompani­ment of a violin you may think of Mrs. Morton and Toni, and be glad that the world bestows its applause aud its gifts upon them, and that the vision of his mother and her love that came to Toni on that Christmas-eve has been mado to him a reality.—Harper's Young People.

How the Buttons A11 Went Wrong.

“ Dear me!” said little Janet, “ I buttoned just one button wrong, and that made all the rest go wrong; ’ and Janet fretted as if tne buttons were quite at fault for her trouble.

“ Patience!” said mamma, smiling at the little fretful face, “ and next time look out for the first wrong button, and then you’ll keep all the rest right. And,” adtled mamma, as the last button was put in its place and the scowling

■ face was smooth once more, “ look out for the first wrong deed of any kind, for another is sure to follow.”

! Janet remembered how, ono day not long ago, she struck baby Alice; that

; was the first wrong deea. Then she denied having done it, and that was an­other. Then she was unhappy and cross all that day because shehad told a lie. What a long list of buttons fastened wrong just because one went wrong—because her naughty little hand struck baby. The best thing she could do to make it right again was to tell mamma how naughty she had been aud ask her to forgive her, but that was much harder than just to do the buttons again.

Janet thought it all over, and be­tween the buttons and her very unhap­py day, I think she learned never again to forget to look out for the first wrong deed.

Captain Horne had his men fall into line, each one armed with a stout fence rail, and marched to a more agreeable place for the balance of the term.

It is the opinion of Mr. Fontaine, the well-known locomotive inventor, that locomotives, if it were not for the re­sistance of air, could be run at the rate of 100 miles an hour.

“ I tell ye the craft which was abroad last night had a nipper,” said an old lake Captain as he dropped into a ferry-dock saloon yesterday for his morning dram.

“ Yes, she did.”“ It was jist such a morning as this

in ’59 that we, aboard of the Sally, found ourselves off Point Pelee with a heavy sea on,” continued the Captain. “ My! but wasn’t it keen above board! The air was full of frost, the wind cut like a knife, and every drop of water froze as soon as it struck the deck.”

“ But you threw on salt?”“ We hadn’t an ounce aboard, and i

we had left our ax at Cleveland. We couldn't cut off an ounco where a pound grew, and in an hour she looked like an iceberg. I saw that she would go down if we didn’t do something, but our puny efforts were of no avail! Six of us froze our ears and fingers, and then we gave up. Before noon she had a hundred tons of ice on her bow, and we couldn’t start a rope.”

“ That was a bad fix.”“ Guess it was! The ice kept draw­

ing her down and down, and finally at one o’clock she went down head first.”

“ And tho crew took to the boat?” “ No, sir; the boat was a solid mass

of ice.”“ But how were they saved?”“ They wasn’t saved. Every sou!

aboard of her went down to a watery grave!”

“ But you weren’t drowned. How did you escape?”

“ No, I wasn’t drowned; but if this crowd expects me to devote all my time for ten years to perfectin’ an in­vention to enable a man to walk ashore under twenty-two miles of cold water and then give it awav without some­body buying the drinks, I beg to in­form it that it is sadly mistaken! Come down, some of you, or the story ends in ice-water!”—Detroit Free Press.

Btabling Stock and Stable*.The opinion once so prevalent that

farm stock must be compelled to run half fed in the yards or open fields thefirst winter to give them a good const!- quantity of sugar to make it palatable

-------- » — *'-----Ti-Jr. !_ l— •»_ and administer it. as quickly as possi­ble. Almost instant relief will follow.

A dish which is sure to find favor with lovers of celery is made by taking the stalks of celery which are" not thor­oughly bleached, cutting them in pieces of about an inch long, and cooking as you would asparagus, the same

tution and make them tough is happily exploded, and we now no more expect to treat a young animal in that manner than we would make a boy go half clothed and starred in order Uiat he might make a good strong man. But yet few people realize the importance of having warm winter quarters for farm stock; they don’t seem to realize that a certain temperature of the sys­tem must be maintained, and that by making the stables warm we prevent the consumption of large amounts of feed. The animals are ours, and sel­fishness if not humanity should dictate that we make them comfortable. Any man who lets his cattle stand shivering in the lee of a straw-stack, or old fence, or under an ouen shed, should be tied in the same place and be compelled to stay one night with the themometer at zero and the snow flying thick and fast about him; if this does not convince him of the necessity of good warm sta­bles, lie is not tit to be called by the noble name of Farmer, anti the quicker he gets out of the business the better for it and himself.

In stabling cattle, have them as com­pact as possible; instead of stringing them in a single row in a long stable! prefer the stable as near square as may oe, and to put the cattle in two or four rows; the more in a body they are placed the Jess labor to care for them, und the warmer they will keep. There is no material so good for a stable as brick or stone, but where we must use wood the sills should be well bedded in mortar upon a good wall. The board­ing should be sound, put on close, bat­tened outside, and well nailed, battened inside with laths, and on these put tarred sheathing paper (not felt), and again put on strips of lath and another thickness of paper, and ov e t this sheath it up with matched lumber. This is much better than double boarding and siutlinsr with straw, chat! or saw dust; it is entirely wind-proof, and muoh warmer, and there is no harbor for rats or mice, and it is much more cleanly. Over head the floor should be matched. I much prefer having the cattle stand on the ground, providing there is plenty of straw for bedding.

The subject of ventilation is as little understood for stables, as for dwellings; it is next to impossible toopen windows or ventilators at the sides of the stable without some animal’s taking cold or suffering from a draft; a much better way—the best of all ways—is to place upright trunks or tubes, say eighteen inches square inside, reaching from the roof down a foot below the ceiling of the stables. These should be protected on the roof by a slatted hood or cowl, and should have a slide at the bottom that can be opened anti closed at pleas­ure. Iu a stable thirty bv forty feet, there should not be less than three of these*-, in secure positions in different, parts ojf the stable, place thermometers; by in da ns of the trunks mentioned above (by opening and closing the slides) we should maintain a tempera­ture as near fifty degrees as possible. In very mild days, it may be necessary to open some windows, but they should always be on the side awav from tho wind. This mode of ventilation will al­ways keep the air pure and wholesome and still create no drafts or currents of air.

If there is no convenience for water­ing in the stables (which I would pre­fer), I would only let animals out just long enough to drink. If at any time I thought they needed exercise, I would let them out, and put a boy after them and run them so as to get the needed exercise as soon as possible and im­mediately return them to the stables. Remember that all exercise takes food, and if the stables are kept clean, well littered, and dusted every day with a little plaster, the cattle can be kept all winter perfectly healthy without an hour’s exercise. Another fact we should remember: every day we keep a young animal with no growth, and every day

1 is allowed to ^et poor-a mature aniraa er, we are keeping them atcan’t afford it; we should see to it that they are constantly thriving, and to this end we should leed plenty of good nu­tritious feed and plenty of some sort of roots or other green food. But above all things keep them warm.—J. 8. Woodward, in N. Y. Tribune.

The Stage-Driver’s Story.“ Stranger,” said the stage-driver,

“ this was how I found out her speed: I was driving alongside the railroad track just as a big load of hotel furni­

tu re started. The freight car wouldn't hold it all, but they managed to squeeze everything in except a long bar-mirror, which they tied to the side of the car. The mare saw her reflec­tion in tho glass and thought it was another horse spurting for the lead. You couldn’t have held her back with a steam windlass. She just laid back her ears and snorted along like a twenty- inch shell. The passengers all began to get excited. They rushed out on the platforms and began to make bets. The conductor stood up on a seat and began to sell peols. The engineer pulled the throttle-valve wide open and tore along at ninety-five miles an hour. Soon the mare was abreast of the cow-catcher. At San Bruno we had half a mile the lead. Near the Six-Mile House the train was so nm-h ahead of time that it fell througn an open draw and everlastingly smashed up—77 killed and 199 wounded, It was pretty rough on the passengers, but then we distanced the train, net yer life. About a month after 1 sold that mare to her present owner for $00,000.

length of time being required to boil it; season with milk, butter, pepper and salt.

Cranberry S a u c e . —Pick over ono quart of cranberries, mash and put into a sauce pan with one cupful of water; stew slowly for about an hour; if thick by that time strain through a colander, then sweeten witli fine white sugar. Place in a mold that has previously been wet with ice water; let stand until ready for use.

Potato Puff. —Stir two oupsful of mashed potatoes, two tablespoonsful of melted butter and some salt to a fine, light and creamy condition. Then add two eggs well beaten separately and six tablespoonsful of cream. Beat all well and lightly together; pile in rocky form on a dish; bake it in a quick oven until nicely colored. It will become quite light like a puff'.

After an experience of several sea­sons, says the Poultry Monthly, we have adopted th« system of wanning the food all through the winter and cold weath­er, both morning and evening, and we attribute the excellent laying qualities of the fowls, in a great measure, to do­ing this. The food, whether whole or broken, grain or other food, either dry or moistened, should be warmed well before feeding.

Salvf. for Frost Bites.—Six ounces of mutton tallow, six ounces of lard, one ounce of peroxyde of iron—red iroD rust —one ounce of Venice turpentine, one-half ounce of oil of bergamot, one- half ounce of bole Armenian rubbed to a paste with good sweet oil. Heat the mutton tallow and Iron rust in an iron vessel, stirring constantly with an iron spoon, until the mass becomes perfectly black, then add the other ingredieuts, stirring until well mixed. Apply upon linen daily.

Mince Meat.—T wo quart bowls of meat, (chopped), four quarts of apples, oue quart of molasses, one quart of sugar, one pound of raisins, one pound of currants, one pound or less of citron, three quarts of cider, one tablespoonful of cloves, oue tablespoonful of allspice, one tablespoonful of cinnamqn, four nutmegs, two tablespoonfuls of salt, three lemons, (juice only), one-half pound of suet chopped fine; sca’d all together three hours. Five pounds of meat makes three bowls.

Trees for the Farm.I believe there is not as mueh care

and attention given to forests, groves and shade trees as their value and im­portance demands. We in the West are doing considerable in this line, and this work is on the increase from year to year. And yet, on traveling through the country, we see more places where trees ought to be planted than places where trees are planted.

I believe the climatic influence of trees is more in checking the force of drying and damaging winds in summer and piercing-cold, snow-drifting winds of winter than in the increase of rain. They prevent the wind from carrying off the humidity of the air, with which it is filled from evaporation from soil and from vegetation. It has been de­monstrated, some years ago, on the prairies of Iowa, that a belt of trees around a field, to break the wind, saved the crops from damage, and thus ob­tained a greater product than it would if all the ground had been occupied by- crops.

In my opinion, tree planters for eco­nomic uses do not investigate tho value of the different sorts of timber to plant. The Red Cedar is very durable and val­uable, but so slow iu growth that we cannot afford to wait for it. Same with Mulberry and Osage Orange. In the early settlement here the Black or Yel­low Locust was considered the most valuable tree we could plant; but the worms soon found their way out here and destroyed them. The Cot­tonwood, Soft Maple and Green Willow have been planted considerable; all very rapid growers. The latter is most valuable for farm uses. Then came the European Larch, which, no doubt, will prove valuable.

Of course we have learned some good things by experience; and one is that our Hardy Catalpa is more valuable than any of the above-named varieties. It is true that the experience of this tree is quite limited aud of short time in the Northwest; but in Southern In­diana, Illinois ami Missouri it is of suffi­cient length of time to prove its dura­bility—as a post in the ground, lasting forty, fifty, and even seventy-five years. I have had twenty-five years of experi­ence with this tree, aud in the early period of my experience I discovered that we had two varieties or species of Catalpa—tho one more thrifty, beautiful and nardy, to stand tho bleak zero weather of our climate. Hence, 1 gave it the distinctive name of Hardy. With me it grows fast, about like that of the soft maple; blooms two or three weeks earlier than tho common or ten­der sort, larger, more white and beau­tiful flowers.

Trees for groves should bo planted close, not more than four by six feet apart, that they may have small limbs and send up a tall but straight tree. I have often cut tho young trees off near the ground, that tfiey may send up a thrifty, straight sprout, which will make tho better tree.—8uel Foster, in N. Y. Independent.

—In Roumelia the rose harvest is re­ported to have been an exceedingly abundant one this year, the value of the total yield exceeding, it is estimated, 1,000,000 francs. The richest harvest of late years, however, was in 1876, when 8,800 pounds of attar of roses, of the value of 982,017 francs, was export­ed from Philippopolis alone. The atta is principally exported to France, Austria, America and Germany. En-f land obtained what she requires from ndia. The Frenchscent manufacturers,

and especially the Parisian, buy (he finest qualities of attar, while the sec­ond qualities are mostly sent to Russia aud Austria.

yesterday a woman of 50, made up to look about 25 years old, got aboard at a crossing to find every seat occupied. 8he stood for a moment, and then selecting a poor­ly dressed man about 45 years of age, she observed :

•‘Are there no gentlemen on thisQ> »car f

“Indeed, I dunno,” he replied as he looked up and down. “ i f there hain’t, and you are going clear through, I ’ll hunt up one for you at the end of the line!”

There was an embarrassing si lence for a moment, and then a light broke in on him all of a sud­den. and he rose and said :

“ You can have this seat, madamc.I am alius perfectly willing to stand 1 up and give my seat to anybody j older than myself.’’

That decided her. She gave him j a look which he will not forget to | his dying day, and grabbing the | strap she refused to sit down, even | when five seats had become vacant, x j

Bees from the Holy Laud.Last week there arrived at Quebec

by the Allan mail steamer “ Mora­vian” a large number of hiving bees which had been originally packed in Palestine in small boxes constructed so as to admit of the bees obtaining food, air, and water. The bees of the Holy Land are valuable purvey­ors of honey. The question now is whether they can withstand the climate of Canada, and whether the wild honey upon which it is recorded ! John the Baptist partly fed can be made in the land of snows. The Oriental honey and figs make an ex­cellent jam, which is called figuin, and sold throughout Europe. The London papers advertise it, and some pne should introduce it here. But the transportation of bees is accompanied with risks as well as difficulties. It is recorded that some

E. A. BANGS.years ago an enterprising apiarian carried a large colony of bees to the Sandwich Islands, making sure that they would produce abundant as well as delicious honey in the perpetual summer of that flowery cltme. The bees laid in a great stock against the first winter, but finding that no first winter came, abandoned their provident habits and left their enterprising patrons with a beggarly account of empty hives.

It yearly takes 200,000 acres of forest to supply cross ties for the I railroads of the United States. It takes 15,000,000 ties to supply the demand, for which on an average j the contractors get thirty five cents apiece, making in the aggregate $5. 250,000. In building a new road the contractors figure on 2,700 ties to the mile, while it takes 300 ties to the mile to keep a constructed l oad in repair. The average of a good piece of timber land is 200 ties to the acre and twelve ties to the tree. White or burr oak is consid­ered the best timber for the purpose although cherry, maple, ash anil even locust have been used. The business gives employment to an army of choppers, who are paid ten cents apiece for each tie. A con tinned practice makes the choppers expert in the use of the ax, and a single man has been known to get out thirty-five ties in a day, yet the average is only ten, wlii'e an expert will probably get out twenty.

A housekeeper gives a written de­scription of how to “ whip cream” for certain dainty dishes ; but the quickest way 1s to let the cat lick it, if it must tie whi|»|>cd.

“ How do you like me now?" asked a b e lle of her h| h»iiho, as she sailed into tin; room with her long train sweeping liehiud her. “ W ell,” s a i d he, “to tell Uie truth, It Is Impossible for me to like you any longer.”

Homebody says tliul “The devil only came Into the world after woman was placed here.” If there had been only men in the world the devil would not have come into the crowd, He could have found better company at home.
