And blackberry vines are running.

The charcoal lrescoes on its WALL

The feet that creeping slow to school,
Went stormne out to playing!
Long years ago Il winters sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window pancs
And low caves icy fretting,
1t touched the tangled, golden curlS,
And brown eyes full of grieving.
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the sch DOL were leaving,
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame We're mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he lingered;-
AS restlesSlv her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressng,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
As if fault contessing.
I'm sorry that spelt the word.

LErALL THE ENDS THOU AIMsT AT, THY GODS
Written for the Palladium.
The Turkish Massacre.
A Christmas Parody.

BY HOCkAFELLO"s
At midnigt, in his favorte coop.
The "Turk'' sat, dreaming of the hour,
When barn-yard fowls in fear should stoop,
And tremble at his power
In dreams through every haunt, he bore
The trophies of a conqueror
In dreams, his potent gobble heard;
Then spread his tail, and curved his wing,
And strutted like a very king;
And vainly thought that he could sing
Like "Eden's Garden-bird."
At midnight, in the farmers house
The farmers wife, with willing hand
Disturbed the plumbers of the mouse,
And sternly gave command!
For many a Christmas there she'd passed,
And many Turkeys die had east,
In her eventful life:
But now, with more thar former zeal,
Her hands prepare the Christmas meal;
And worse than vain, Turks appeal
For liberty and life.
An hour passed on, the Turk awoke;
That bright dream was his last:
He woke to hear the poultry squall,
And join his gobbie with the brawl.
He woke to die but lived to see
His faithful conrades-One--two
Lie bleeding on the ground,
And hear the sturdy farmers voice,
Pronounce his doom All, woeful choice
Linked with his wife's command:
Here John, take this, let him expire
And Hezekiah, stir the fire
One would not think a boy would tire
w hen Christmas is at hand ~
They squalled like poultry only can,
W hen thoughts of roasting fill their brain !;
Or, dreaming of frying-pan:
Or better still-to make it plain
When preachers make their weekly call
Or when sly reynard makes them squall,
And tumble from the perch.
They squalled-the others saw-and fled
For refuge, to a neighboring shed,
Beyond the farmers search.
Come to the poulterer's stable, Death
Come after frosty Winters past,
And Spring appears, with pleasant breath
Come to "Turk" when 'ere you will,
And he will travel, aft to kill"
For thou art terrible to all,
And no one cares to have thee call
Whose mandate makes the greatest fall
Thou art terror e'en to man!
Nor bird, nor beast, nor living thing,
VIII say at last, "W here is thy sting?"
But silently will fold its wing,
Nor care to lead the van.
But to a"Turk,'' in slumber sweet,
In dreams of princely power and pride,
Hurled from his perch, and made to beat
A worse than ''double-quick' retreat
Expressive words with Webster died.
Chrstmas-when linked with turkey roast
Smacks savory, of period near,
When laugh and patriotic toast,
Rings in the genera, ear!
Therefore, thy doom we tell with joy
For thou art dead, and roasting now
And stuffed, viii not tell you how,
Imagination you may cloy.

The President in his annual mes
sage will congratulate Congress on
the workings of the Indian peace
policy. and explain the manner in
which the FIVE millions of dollars,
appropriated by Congress in July,
have been disbursed, claiming that
the annuities have been correctly
paid over to the Indian tribes, and
that all the supplies have been
purchased by the Interior Depart
ment, direct, and without the in
reference of middle-men or the
payment of commissioners. The
President comments on the good
Offices Of the various missionary
officials, and expresses his belief
that they are working the most
beneficial results in perfecting a
permanent peace, and in the edu-
cation of Indian children. The
estimate of the Indian Service for
the next fiscal year are placed at
nearly a million less than for the
present year.
