A PLEA FOR EGGs.-We intended, in
the desperation of our soul, to indulge
ourself in egg-nogg at our chateau this
morning, and in this view we visited
the market to procure the necessary
eggs. Desperately and frantically we
pranced through the market house, like
a bob-tailed bull through five acre
lot when flies are plenty, but nary egg
met our gaze. Anxious to squander
our lucre for eggs, it would not squan-
der, for there were no eggs. In the bit
terness of our disappointment we wept.
The pearly tears rolled down our cheeks
like pumpkins down a hill. We wept
as we thought Of the amount of money
any we'll regulated hen could make by
a proper attention to business. This is
the day OF pleas-pleas for suffering
womanhood who don't enjoy good
health without the ballot. pleas for the
poor, the wronged, the tempted-so we
let our feelings gush out in the follow
ing sample of common pleas:
Be gentle to the new-laid egg,
For eggs are brittle things;
They cannot fly until they're Matched,
And have pair Of wings.
II once you break the tender shell,
The wrong you can't redress;
Tie yolk and white will all run out,
And make q dreadful 'mess."
IT'S but little while at best
That hens have power to lay;
Tomorrow eggs may added be,
That were quite fresh to-day.
Oh let the touch be light
That takes them from the keg;
There is no hand whose cunning Ekill
Can mend broken egg!
All, touch II with tender touch,
For, till the egg Is billed,
Who knows but that, unwittingly,
Itmay be smashed and spilled?
The summer breeze that 'gainst 1t blows
Ought to be stilled and hushed,
For eggs, like youthful purity,
Are awful when they're squshed.

A WARNING TO BoYs.-On Saturday,
as will be seen by our police court re-
port, a young man was fined 81 and
costs-being over five dollars-for vio-
lating the ordinances, in coastlng on
Union street. The act for which he
was fined is committed every day by
boys on the principal thoroughfares OF
the city, and many complaints have
been made to the police about it. They
get on to their sleds, shout "clear the
track" and woe betide the person who
fails to get out of the way Of them as
they 20 down the hill with the speed OF
light. Judge Good says he is willing
that the boys shall have as much fun
as possible, but they must learn that ii
is they who must "clear the track" and
that they must arrange for coasting in
some other locality than on the public
streets.

AN IMPRovEMENT.-The room ordered
by the Committee on Police Of the City
Council to be built in the southeast
corLer of the police court room has
been constructed by the contractor,
Joseph Salisbury. 1t contains three
hunks, and is intended to be occupied
by poor women who are travelling
through our city, and are without funds
to procure a nights lodging, thus keep
ing them from. the contamination of
and the possibility of outrage by the
loafers and others who sleep on the
floor of the police court room around
the stove, for want of better Judgement.
Our readers have no idea of the number
of men and their wives and children
who find shelter in this court room
during year. The improvement made
by the committee is humane and wise.

MERRY CHRIsrMAs.-By the time

MERRY CHRlsrMAs.-By the time
your eye rests on this paragraph, gentle
reader, you will have passed through
that pleasant hour when the little ones
in their night clothes have discovered
their stockings stuffed to the muzzle
with the choicest candies in Santa
Claus collection, your ears will have
become used to the shouts Of "Oh! see
what I've gotf' tom, amt this a
bully drum =" "crickee, won't this here
sled 60 flying down hill" and all Of
the rest of the many expressions that
treak papa's rest, make him smother a
swear or two under the bed clothes, and
make mama so happy because she sees
her little ones are. By this time, We
say, you know how it is yourself" if
you are married man, and are living
your young days again in your child
rens happiness. II this be 60 we ex-
tend our right paw and wish you q
merry Christmas.
What difference does it make if the
many and various noises made BY drum
and trumpet and lille throats dc make
your usually peaceful abode resemble
mad house. Let them blow; let them
shout; let them drum. Hurrah for
Christmas, when men can forget life's
cares, its trials, its hollowness, its dig.
mites, and be boys again With your
children renew the pleasures Of boy
hood. Shout yourself, play the mad
cap, chew candy, and take afterwards
the necessary castor oil with them.
You'll feel better for unbendiDg your
dignity in a Christmas morning romp
with your children.
HuVah for the man or woman who
makes Christmas day that will live
forever in the memory Of his or her
children They are digging wells and
planting trees where, in after days, the
soul, wearied with the continued strug-
gle of life, can refresh itself with
