Thuckeray on Christmas.

The play ia dono-the curtain drops,
Slow falling at the prompter's bell;
moment yet the actor stops,
And locks around to say farewell.
It is an irksome word and task;
And. when he's laughed and said his say,
He shows, as he removes the mask,
A faco that's anything but gay.
One word, e.yet the evening ends
Let's close it with parting rhyme;
And pledge a hand to all young friends
AS fits a merry Christmas timo;
On life's wide sceno you, too, have parts,
That fate ere long shall bid you play;
Goodnight! with honest, gentle hearts
kindly greeting go alway!
Goodnight I'd say the griefs, the joys.
Just limited in this mimic page,
The triumphs and defeats OF boys,
Are but repeated in our age;
I'll say your woes were not less keen,
Your hopes more vain than those of men
Your pangs or pleasures OF fifteen
At forty-ive played o'cr again.
I'd say we suffer and we strive
Not less nor moro as men than boys
With griZzled boards at forty live,
AS erst at twelve in corduroye;
Andif, in time Of sacred youth,
We learned at home to love and pray,
Pray Heaven that early love and truth
May never wholly pass away.
And in tho world, as in the school,
I'd say how fate may change and shift
The prize be sometimes with the fool,
IL IaC6 uOb alNdyB CO tue SWuLs
The strong may yield, tho good may fall,
The great man be a vulgar clown,
The knave be lifted over all,
The kind cast pitilessly down.
Who knows the inscrutable design?
Blessed be He who took and gave!
Why should your mother, Charles, not mine,
be weeping at her darling's grave?
We bow to Heaven. that wi1ledit SO,
That darkly rules the fate of all,
That sends the respite or the blow,
That's tree to give or to recall.
This crowns his feast with wine and wit
Who brought him to that mirth and state?
His betters, see, below him sit,
Or hunger hopeless at the gate.
Who bnde the mud from Dives wheel
To spurn the rags of Lazarue?
Confessing Heaven that ruled it thus.
SO each shall mourn, in life's advance,
Dear hopes, dear friends, untimely killed
Shall grieve for many forfeit chance,
And longing passion unfulflled.
Amen! whatever fate be sent,
Pray God the heart may kindly glow,
Although the head with cares be bent,
And whitened with the winter snow.
Come wealth or want. come good or ill,
Let young or old accept their part,
And bow before the awful will,
And bear it with on honest heart.
Who MISSES or who wins the prize
Go. lose or conquer as you can;
But If you fail, or il you rise,
Be each, pray God. gentleman.
A gentlemanr or old or young!
tBear kindly with my humble lays;)
The sacred chorus first was sung
Upon the first of Christmas days;
The shepherds heard it overhead
The joyful angels raised it then;
Glory to Heaven on high, it said,
And peace on earth to gentle men!
Ny song, save this. is little worth;
I lay the weary pen aside,
And wish you health, and love, and mirth,
As fits the solemn Christmas tide,
As fits the holy Christmas birth.
Be this, good friends, our carol still
Be peace on earth, be peace on earth,
To men of gentle will.

The Miss referred to above, though q
native of Vermont, and living all her
life within q few miles Of the Canada
line, was not certain what bounded Yer
mont ON the north. She bounded the
State on the south, first by New York,
then, thinking she might be wrong,
changed it to Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut. As for the western boundary,
she was in doubt. When asked why
Montpelier was called the capital Of the
State, she replied, Because it is the
busiest place." Good for Montpelier
but rather damaging for the would-be
teacher.
Another young lady, who had taught
two terms in town in New Hampshire

More thorough Bred stock.

We are glad to note the enterprise ex-
hibited by so many of our Trumbull
county farmers in the important matter
of thorough bred stock. Last week MI.
r. L. Walker, of Liberty, visited Ken

some of the famed fine cattle Of that
State. He visited some of the most no

high for full blooded Durhams. Hepur-
