The Number NIrtr Nina

''The most romantic of all numbers" says Il writ
er in Chambers journal, is the figure nine because
it won't be multiplied away, Or got lid; of anyhow
Whatever you do, it is as sure 10 turn up again as
was the body Of Eugene Aram's victim. One re-
marable property of this figure (said to have been
discovered by w. Green, who died in 1884, is, that
all through the multiplication table the production
OF nine comes to nine. Multiply by what you like,
and # gives the same result. Begin with twice
nine, IS; add the digits together and and make
9. Three times nine are q; and and make 9. So
it goes on, up to eleven times nine, which give &c.
Very good; add the digits; and are is, and and
are 9. Going to any extent, it is impossible to
get rid of the figure nine. Take couple of in
stances at random. Three hundred and thirty-Iline
times nine are sO51 add up the dgis and they give
g.. Five THOUSAND and seventy-one times nine are
45 6s9; tie sum of these digis is q, and and are
9. NJ. de Maivan found out another queer thing
abodt this number, nsmey, that if you take any
row of figures, and reverse their order to make 9
subtraction sum Of it, the total is sure to be y Fol-
example:

HIsboro"gh County, Ohio Thursday December 1e

: with which his great life closed, wa
: sheaf of ripened wheat-a fit EN-
{ blem of the rich harvest the keel
sickle of Death had SO lately reaped
Below this was q shield of white flow
ers, with the arms of the State o
New York in purple blossoms, the
gift of the Common Council. A mag
nifcent arch of white flowers, pre-
sented by the ladies of DR.. Chapin't
congregation, spanned the pulpit
over the speakers head. On its white
ground was wrought in crimson bios
SONS the legend: 'I know that my
Redeemer iveth." Indeed, these
words and SIT is done" were re-
peated again and again in the decor
ations in all sorts of devices. At the
right of the pulpit stood another gift
from the Common Council-a large
stand, the whole top of which was
composed of the choicest flowers,
rosebuds, camelias, and tuberoses,
surmounted by crown wrought
from the same lovely blossoms. A
similar stand and crown was the gift
of Mayor Hall, and another came
from the Lincoln Club.
The Lotos, the Union League, and
the Herald clubs were represented by
appropriate offerings. From the
German Greeley and Brown Club
came an immense quill, wrought in
the choicest flowers. One of the most
remarkable of the tributes was a plow
composed ofcamelias and white roses,
with a groundwork of violets and
other modest blossoms. This beau
tiful design was the gift Of the Trib-
une employees. Among the most con-
spicuous offerings was magnificent
floral tablet, three and one half feet
wide, standing about six feet from
the floor, and presenting the appear
ance of picture supported by col
mns, of which the frame consisted
of violets and tea rose buds. The
ground of the tablet was framed of
the choicest white flowers, inscribed
at the top with the words, 1T is
done" in the center, 81 know that my
Redee1ner iveth." On the reverse
were the letters, 'H. G." and the mot
to, '1n memoriam." The inscription
were in red flowers. This tablet was
presented by the Tribune Association.
About the coffin itself were arranged
gifts of the choicest personal friends.
The air was full of the sweet breath
of flowers. They were thick under
the feet which trod so reverently as
they bore him away. They filed ev-
cry available space with their beauty.
Among many significant emblems
displayed at the funeral was o simple
wreath of dry leaves, with violets in
terwined, sent by Whitelaw Reid to
the Misses Greeley. With their own
hands they bound the wreath about the
coffin of their father, as from one who,
to the last, had his confidence and
love.
Thurlow Weed was a pail bearer,
at his own request. Dudley S. Greg
ory, also pail bearer, was the man
who loUned Mr.. Greeley the thousand
dollars with which he started the
Tribune About one hundred and
twenty carriages followed the remains
to Greenwood The body was de-
posted in Mrs Greeley's lot There
were no ceremonies of any kind furth-
er than laying the body in the last
resting place.

THANKsGIvING IN oLDEN TIME

THANKSGIVING IN OLDEN TIME
Long life to Thanksgiving of thee viii sing
For green in my heart does thy memory spring:
A vision of plenty sweeps over my eyes,
With flavor of fowls and aroma of pies.
Twas Sunday; and loud from the pulpit was read,
By good ParsOn Stiles, what the Governor said
In his long proclamation, informing the land
The time of Thanksgiving was nearly at hand.
| remember it well, though summer suns pass
O'er the parsons low grave in the long, tangled
grass;
Though the tithing-man's knock forever is still,
And the church passed away from its site on the
hill.
l remember from Monday till Thursday at noon,
Which my grandmother said was entirely to soon
To accomplish the pastry and garnish the feast
For the boys from the West and the girls from down
East.
There was chopping and frying from morning till
night,
And bloody deeds done by the lanterns dim light;
While the great ruddy blaze set the kitchen aglow,
And the well polished pewter CLEANED forth from
the bow.
remember how cleanly the farm house was swept
How the cold winter moon kissed the couch where
I slept;
pane
That dissolved in the morn like the mist on the
plain.
Then came Aunt Jerusha, who wore tall cap,
And black shining apron smoothed over her lap.
And good Uncle Nose, who always looked shy,
And stopped short In his speech at glance from
her eye.
There too, was Big Luther, and Mabel, his wife;
And lean Uncle StruIhers, al fresh from his strife
In the courts Of the law, where his troubles ap-
peared- = IETUE
A lamb oi the dock, stin lively, though sheared.
There was bluff Tommy Ewing, and Mary as mild
As the May flowers that grew in the Sycamore Wild
Who refused Inc kiss, bat offered instead
A blush which told plain what her bosom had said
Then we all went to church, and fell fast asleep,
Though tried to remember the text verse to keep
And awose when the rustling of feet on the floor
Proclaimed to my ear that the service was DER.
But year after year fewer cane to the farm;
Aunt Jernsha went first, and we felt, without harm
To good Uncle Nose, who1o longer looked shy,
Though he spoke of her worth with a tear IN his
eye.
Alas for the years that since then have fed!
How few arc the living, how many the dead,
OF those who came down in lffes early prime, ~
And made glad the table of Thanksgiving time!
ShouId number them over at sunset tonight.
Or call them around where the freside gleams
bright,
My eyes would be dmmed with fast falling tears
For those who have passed down the hillside of
years.
But why should I weep for the dear ones no more,
So far on lfe's journey, so near to the shore
Which is trodden by those who, with palm branch |
and crown, =!
With Isaac, and Jscob, and Moses sit DOWN.
No; bless thee, Thanksgiving! thy advent shall
bring
To this half-frozen heart an impulse of Spring;
And cheerfully singing farewell to LIES ills,
viii pass the last guide post that points to the
hills.
