COME IN, MY CHILD.
A Christmas Song.
BY SAMUEL BURNHAM.
shivering, sad.
scantily clad,
And face SO pale and so old,
With weary, worn feet,
Treading the street, :.
Windy, and Wintry, and coldl
Something to wear
Something to eat
Poorest of fare
In hunger is sweet.
Blessed and holy the angelic strain
That sweetly descended on Bethlehem's plain.
Oh, wonderful storyi
To God be the glory,
And peace and goodwill unto men
And down the long ages,
BY bards and by sages,
BY priest and by people,
By pulpit and steeple,
By bell and by voice,
The nations rejoice:
IT'S peace and goodwill unto men
shivering, sad,
Scantiy clad,
She stands in the windows light
She sees the jov of the merry throng,
She hears the music of Christmas song,
She sees the table all spread with food,
And then she wonders if God is goodi
And weeps-for 'tis Christmas night
Come in, my child,' said a cheerful voice;
"Come in, and help us all rejoice.
Within there is warmth and food for you;
Come in and find Gods promise true"
And she stood within the cheerful hall,
She heard the welcome to one and all,
And the tears were dried from her gladdenlng eyes,
While the stars looked down from the Christmas
skies.
And SO for the weary and worn Of earth
Do the blessings come from the heavenly birth
And still sounds forth the blessed strain,
As sweet as of old on Bethlehem's plain,
The wonderful story,
"To God be the glory,
And peace and goodwill unto menp
Come unto me, ye weary and faint
Come unto me with every complaint.
The door is wide open; come enter ye in,
Leave behind you all trouble all care, and all sin
Listen the Christmas song once and again,
Peace on the earth and goodwill unto men,

~ The method of combating
the army worm are summed mp by
the Prairie Farmer as follows:
First. Burn over the meadows.
especially the slOughs and low
grounds, in the neighboOrhoOd of
the place where the worms stopped
their devastatiOns, and where, of
course, they went into the ground
to transform, and where the moths
must first appear. The eggs are
deposited after midsummer, and
the burning may be performed in
the fall or winter, or before the hat
ching of the eggs in tie spring.
Second. Fall blowing in the same
situations would undoubtedly des-
troy most of the eggs by burying
them so deeply that either they
would not hatch or the young
worms would starve.
Third. Theprogress of the worms,
when partially or fully grown, can
be checked by plowIng deep fur
rows across their path; and if the
pains were taken to dig under the
upright side of the furrOw with a
spade, it would make it much more
effectual.
Fourth. Hogs and poultry are
fond of them, and may be made in
strumental in reducing their num-

FATAL MIsTAKE.-On Saturda

FATAL MISTAKE.-On Saturday
night last, DR.. Rob't S. g. Foster,
in company with Capt w. b. Lu-
cas-. was returning to his home near
Crawford, and just beyond the De
pot asked Capt. Lucas to take a
drink with him out of a flask of
whiskcy he had purchased in town.
Capt. l.. declined. DR.. F. had also
bought bottle of Carbolic Acid, a
deadly poison, and had opened it
instead of the whiskey and, being
on horseback, hastily swallowed
some of its contents; he discovered
his mistake, Of course, Immediately,
and exclaimed, 81 am dead man,
1 have swallowed carbolic acid"
They stopped at the house of Tony
Hibdler, near by, where every effort
was used to counterfeit the poison,
but before a physician could arrive,
DR.. Foster had breathed his last.
His remains were taken to Craw-
ford for interment. He leaves
wife but no children.-Mdc0n Bca-
