TRANSLATION.

Santa Claus is out See his big leather
bag is stuffed full of nice things for chill
dren. Each one of them would make
your eyes shine to see it. A poor, ragged
boy stands shivering, barefoot in the snow.
Santa Claus opens his bag, and the poor
boy reaches in, wondering what it all
means. He pulls out nice pair of boots
for his bare feet, and laughs and jumps.
Then Santa Claus went on and stopped at
the door of neat, white cottage Little
Anna came to the door and said, "WhOs
there this cold mornin's" Santa Claus
opened his bag, and little Anna pulled out
a nice, pretty doll with blue eyes. Then
Santa Claus went into house where there
wasa boy just three years old, and let him
put his hand into the wonderful bag and
he got horse that run on wheels. So he
went all round until his big, leather bag
was quite empty. Then Santa Claus was
so happy that he just laughed and danced
for joy. And all the boys and girls fiocked
around him, and laughed, too, and jumped
up and down, Everyone was as happy as
they could be; and such time you never
saw, and such a noise When we make
others happy, it always makes us happy,

Keep the Circulation Active.

A free and regular circulation of the blood is es
sential to health. 1t places the whole system in
state of active defence against all unwholesome in
fluences and is an especial safeguard against the
inimica effect of sudden changes of temperature,
and of damp and cold. IS.
Ifaproper attention were paid to this important
fact, there would not only be great decrease in
the number Of cases of stomach, bowel and renal
complaints, but also in the number of deaths by
consumption and other pulmonary diseases. l.i,ta

The Three Brothers.

THREE little brothers once lived near a
wood where the trees grew thick and
large. The names of these boys were
John, William and Reuben Their parents
were poor, and in the winter the brothers
would go into the woods and gather
sticks. -...-.,. 49,
These sticks they would tie in bundles
or fagots, and sell them in the nearest
town. L..s
Early each winter morning, the boys
would cross the little bridge that lay in
front of their house and go to the woods
One cold day, when their father was i'll,
they went alone into the woods; and
John, the eldest boy, said, "Now, Willie,
you and Reuben go and get the biggest
sticks you can find, and bring them to me,
and will bind them up into ,fagots"
So the little boys went to work, though
it was bitter cold, and Jack Frost nlpped
their hands and feet TIL they were numb.
They worked till it was dark, and then it
began to snow.
~ Little Reuben was so tired and sleepy,
that he could hardly see. So John took
him on his back; and the three boys
started for home, leaving the fagots piled
up where they could get them the next
day.
But the snow fell faster and faster, and
soon covered up the track which led to
their home: so that they wandered out Of
their way. --..---.-
The mother sat watching for them, and
hoping every moment to hear their voices
at the door,. The snow drifted up under
the window of the little cottage, and COW
cred the bridge that lay in sight.
AS hour after hour went by, and the
boys did not come, she became alarmed,
and at last went to Farmer Dawson, who
lived near by, and told him her fears.
"There, there, stop crying, my good
woman" said Farmer Dawson; -" if the
boys have lost their way, the Captain and
will find them. Never fear, Here,
Susan, bring my great-coat and lantern
and staff, and tell Jonas and Tom to come
with me-" -
The Captain was dog; and, as he was
called, he came barking out from the
wood shed, glad to be of some use in the
world. Jonas and Tom were men who
helped the farmer %~7~ 81. ,sssa e-+
They had not gone half mile into the
woods when the Captain darted off to
ward a great tree, and began to bark. -ss
There they are! The Captain has
found them. | knew he would" said
Farmer Dawson l. ,..'s'. r.. Xxx
And so it was The poor boys, tired
and chilled through, had sat down under
a tree and they could hardly speak when
the men came up. TE.k$L
Each man took boy on his back, and
in this way they all went home 4 and
there the boys were rubbed with snow
till they We're warm and well
How glad were their father and mother
tn have them safe nnce more in their
arms, by the cheerful cottage fire They
laughed and they cried.
The Captain had big bowl of milk
that night as a reward for his good con-
duct.-1Ne .NlYWpSsrG q II rrcrr, 1T

A Very Suspicious Document.

THERE are more or less things devel-
oped every day which, in reality, are
something new under the sun. And now
come q. w. Harris d Co., who call them
selves bankers, and are pleased to locate
themselves on Broadway, in New York,
with a long winded statement, and by
amending columns of figures and such, to
entice money from the pockets of an I'm
suspicious people. In lengthy preamble,
well calculated to attract the public eve,
circular sets forth that there once existed
such thing in Chicago as a I"United
States Prize Concert" under the control
of firm styled Virgins, Bradford s. Co |,
that this firm sold tickets to the amount
OF $500, 900, and then suddenly decamped.
leaving ticket-holders in the lurch; that
this firm went to New York and attempt
ed to set up in business again; that they
were there arrested by one of their old
victims, and compelled to disgorge to the
extent of $131 900; that this money was
placed in the hands of responsible bankers
In New York. SO much for preamble.
The circular then goes on to state that 49,
OO0 slips were placed in one wheel, which
number represented all the purchasers of
tickets in the former gift concert, and
seventy-three slips, on proper proper
ton OF which prizes were written, were
placed in another, and that then the prizes
were distributed, and are now ready to
be sent to the lucky drawers. These prizes
consist of watches, all kinds of iewelry.
sewing machines, etc, in which the money
disgorged was invested, as the circular
states, "In order that there might not be
too many prizes" After all this, by way
of exordium, the circular winds up by
stating that Mr.. Jones or Smith has drawn
gold watch, or the like, which he can
have by sending five per cent. of its value
We advise our readers to hold on to their
money, and not invest it in any such bus
mess; 1t has too suspicious look.-C CHI
