For fhe TlMxs
December.


It's the blast of December that sweeps DER the hills.
I'm, And forms into drifts the white snow;
The track OF the sleigh on the bleak road it fills;
The fences u COY ers-the traveller II chills,
And ehoked Is the prattle of sweet, babbling rilS
Which sang to the lily and rose.
The pastures which, smiling bright summer did see,
, with loneliness all overgrown--
Where the buttercups bloomed and the cattle grazcd
free,
And the thick growing foliage decked every tree
Made every eye glad and each heart full of glee,
But now all their beauties have flown.
The hills look like masses of snow not of ground
- Like mounds Ger the beauties now dead;
Their brows with a wreath OF green hemlocks arc
bound
md the hemoeks themselves all regally crowned.
And the cold icy jewels, that deck them around,
A cherries and chilling light shed.
rho trees are all leafess and SILVER with cold
Their gay robes of summer all gone;
The bright happy waters now icy bonds hold
The rose bushes withered, snow -shroud entold,
Ind the vines on the arbor look haggard and old,
While dark is the storm coming on.

WILD OATs.-The boys who sow wild
oats and the girls who make runaway
matches do not have the right kind of
homes. The man who is child with the
children, who can "play horse" and
jump the rope, who doesn't call Johnnie

the basket. who gets their confidence so
that they tell him all their troubles, who
believes that old folks were made to helm
young folks he is not ploughing the
ground for wild oats. Such a parent
will see that good reading is one of the
attractions of home to his family. No
money for this purpose "goes further

Speech from Gen. Grant.

Gen. Grant was entertained by the
Union League Club, at New York, on
Tuesday evening and made humorous
speech and of unusual length for him,
which was of course received with great
applause. 1t was in response to the fol-
lowing toast:
Our Guest, the general of the army
and President elect
To which Gen, Grant thus responded:
Gentlemen of the Union League =
1t is with entire regret that | find myself
unable to respond in appropriate Ian
guage to the warmth of feeling with
which. this toast has been received. You
know how unaccustomed | am to public
speaking (hearty laughter and applause)
how undesirable talent / think it is to
possess, how little good it generally does
(renewed laughter and cheers, and how
DESTROYS | am to see more of our public
men follow the good example which be-
l'eve IN this particular, if in no other. I
have set them. Tremendous applause
l must, however, express my acknowl-
edgements to the Union Leagues of this
and other cities for the great benefits they
have conferred upon the government dur
ing the rebellion through which we have
Just passed. / wish to acknowledge their
liberality toward myself and toward the
soldiers, in serving against the rebellion,
md to thank them for it,

~ uprorious applause, which continued
or several minutes.
