Tired and worn out with the noise and confusion,
We retired to sleep; oh, what a delusion
Twas the night after Christmas, and all thro
the house.,
There were noises that didn't sound much like
mouse.
The creatures were stirring, and the children up
stairs
Made such singular sounds after saying their
prayers,
We felt that they certainly must be distressed;
So we jumped out Of ed,-snd III tell you the
rest;
We called to the servants for hot cloths and
water,
For sage tea, for hop tea, and pepper that's
hotter;
We tumbled Ger toys, and we tumbled Ger
chairs.
We flew through the halls and ran down the
stairs,
Cursing st. Nick, who brought candies and
toys,
With sorrow and sickness for our girls and boys.
Of for a doctor | ran in a fright.
In the smallest and darkest hours Of the night
He came, and we watched o'er the children till
morn;
There was never a night since the day was born
That suffered 80 much, both in body and mind,
As the night which left the last Christmas be-
hind.
Our children recovered after many a day,
But the Doctor died, m quite sorry to say;
His surname was Bacon, his life was insured,
They tried hard to save him, but he couldn't be

. Two Arkansas lawyers were d0mestcated
IN the rude hotel Of country town, The
hotel was crowded, and the room allotted to
our TWO heroes was also occupied by six or
eight others. Shakedown beds, enough to
accommodate the guests, were disposed
about the room, against the four walls, leay-
ing an open space in the centre of the apart
mcnt
Judge CLARK lay with his head to the
north. on one side, and Judge Thomas Law
with his head to the South, on the other side
Of the room. So far as that room was con-
cerned, it might be said that their heads re-
presented the north and south poles, re-
spoctiyely.
81 the other beds in the room were Cccu-
pied. The central part Of the room was
deemed neutral ground, in which the oceu-
pants Of the different beds had equal rights.
Here, in picturesque confusion, lay the boots,
hats, coats and breeches of the sleepers.
There wer6 no windows, and though the
door was open, there being no moon, the
night was very dark in that room.
The %ily lawyers, who had been opposing
counsel in a case tried in the town court that
day, and bad opposed each other with the
contumacity Of wild Pigs, were now the
very incarnation of meckness. for when the
hungry swarm Of mosquitoes settled down
and bit them on the one cheek, they slowly
turned the other 10 be bitten also.

Judges Clark and Thomas were wide

tons, but gave vent to another yowl.

No. No. she's on your side, said Clark.

How TO COLLECT LITTLE BILL-Some years
ago Mr.. David Brittcn, who is now eDio ying
his 0tium cum dig. at his pleasant villa on the
south shore of Staten Island, was engaged in
an extensive grocery business in New York.
Mr.. Britton enjoyed the patronage and &C
quaintance Of Secretary Fish, Coz. Morgan,
Commodore Vanderbilt, and other prominent
citizens At that time the CommodoTe's mind
was not obliyious to transactions involving less
than millions of dollars; in fact. he scrutinized
even his household bills with keen eye.
The Commodore was in the habit of dropping
into Mr.. Britton's store once a month for the
purpose of having friendly chat and settling
his bill. One afternoon he came in apparently
in great hurry, exclaiming
- Britton, if you have my account made out
I'll cash it."
Gan right, Commodore; here are the items
footed up
Vanderbilt glanced down the list unit! he had
nearly reached the bottom. when he calculated;
"How's this, Britton? I never ordered those
things
What thingsz''
Brandy, wines, cigars, sardines, anchovies.
crushed sugar, lemons, &c"
why. yes, Commodore, you ordered them
two days ago Young Cornele came after
them with the light wagon. l supposed you
were going 10 have an ev, ing party
Party be hanged He hsd aparty some
where, reckon, and a nice one it must have
been. lie was sick all day yesterday. Scratch
the things off my bill; I'm not going 10 pay the
young r8scal's debts.
- You allow him to order things here, and
yol must pay the bill. Commodore, replied
Mr.. Britton firmly.
- You will never get that money out Of me,
Dave Britton.'
Il rail get it out ofyou, Commodore.
Come, come, scratch those items of, now;
I'm in a hurry"
Well, I'll strike 'em out; but next month
you'll have TO pay up, if Cornele don't"
IN see YOU hanged first; you were a fool TO
let him have them, roared the now irate
Commodore, a. be handed over the money for
the remainder of the bill.
1t is needless to say that young Cornele never
settled that little bill II was inserted regularly
in the Commodore's account for some three
years Regularly the two old friends had their
little encounter over it, Il served to keep
their blood in healthy circulation.
Finally the Commodore ceased to visit the
store, when Mr.. Britton sent the bill to the
bluff old Commodore at stated intervals by his
son Aleck, who possessed as much hrmness and
determination as his father The BnttJns we're
bound to triumph or lie in the attempt
One evening Aleck found the Old Commodore
in good humor. He had just returned from a
drive after passing everything on the road,
This was before Bonner had bought Dexter

father sticks il out pretty well on the bill; when

The Discovery OF MASSACHUSETTS BAY
Before the New York Historical Society Tuesday
evening an interesting paper was read BY the
Rev. Is. F. DeCOsta on the Discovery Of Alass-
achusetts Bay The speaker held that the
Mortimer of the eleventh century must be view
ei as the original discoverers Of this Bay and Of
Cane Cod, if the Iceandic Sagas are to be taken
As authority, and he displayed a rough copy Of
a man Of the American coast, made by the Ice
lander Stephanius in 1870, and based beyond
question on data afforded by those Sagss. He
also dwelt on the extraordinary fact demonstrai-
cd by careful historic aud scientific rese I-ch,
that two islands which once existed of the coast
of Cape Cod, have gone down thirty fathoms cf
water during the last century, SO that the Cage
is now but a miserable wreck Of what it once
was.
In truth it is still being worn away at an as
tonishing rate and in time we shall have no Cape
Cod at all a circumstance. however, which is
not so surprising ~ the fact asserted by the
sneaker. that on the Pacific coast OF the United
States the ocean has worn away the land TO the
extent Of three degrees Of longitude! As to the
re- discovery of Massachusetts, Bay, subs quent
IN the explorations Of the Ncrthmen, P4lfrey,
Rsncroft and the ether leading New England
historians have unanimously settled upon the
English navigator, Bsrtholomew Gosnold, as the
man Who hrSt actually visited cape Ood- but
the speaker proved from original documents
that these writers were in error, and that Jean
Alfonsce, French pilot, anticipated Gosnold's
discovery by no less than 90 years. having, as
early as 1912, sailed down the coast from Cana
da to latitude 429 north. and entered a great
bay the end whereof ne did not reach.
As Alfonso was a veteran and accomplished
mariner, perfectly acquainted vita the use Of the
Rstrolabe il seems certain that the bay be visit
ed in this latitude must have been Massachusetts,
bay. Allfonsece's manuscript narrative of this
voyage still exists in Paris, but has never been
printed in full. though part Of it was mistrsns
lated by Hakluyt, in whose work the students
of New Eagland history might have found. at
any time during the past two centuries, All
fonsce's reference TO Massachusetts, Bay.
Allfonsce's voyage to the New England coast
was probably made in the interest of Roberval,
who, in l54l was made =" Lord Of Norombega'
or Newfoundland The speaker said that Mr. Pal
mer denied that Roberval had a grant of New Eng
land from the French King, and cited his CON-
mission to prove the assertion but this is q mis-
take, as the patent, and not the commission, is
the place to look for it This is found in full in
the Lescarbot Of 1916, and shows that Roberval
was made " Lord Of all New Englaud 80 years
before the landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers

Come and sigh, come and weep |!

Orphan Hours, the Year is dead,
Come and sigh, come and weep.
Merry Hours, smile instead,
For the year is but asleep:
See, it smiles as it is sleepirg.
Mocking your untimely weeping.
As an earthquake rocks corse
In ITS coffin in the clay,
SO white Winter, that rough nurse,
Rocks the dead, cold Year to-day;
Solemn Hours wall aloud
ror your mother in her shroud.
AS tae wild air stirs and sways
Inc tree-swung cradle Of child,
~ ene breath Of these rude days
hocks the Year. Be calm and mild.
drehohng Hours; she will arise
win new love within her eyes.
January grey is here,
Like sexton by her grave;
February bears her bier:
March with grief doth howl and rave,
And April weeps; but o ye Hours
Follow with Mays fairest flowers.
