Gossin nhont Nilsson.

Everywhere I call, the ladies are
talking about Nilsson. Some say
she does not sing as well as they
used TO think, while others say she
had an inferior part in ''Mignon,"
and that Mile. Duval is really the
better singer Of the two. Miss Cary
has let out to a friend that Miss Nils
son has fearful temper, and rares,
raves and tears thingS generally be-
hind the scenes. Once or twice she
has had tantrum and refused to
sing altogether. One night Miss
Gary got little extra applause, and
Nilsson was so jealous that she scold-
ed and snubbed her poor colleague
so outrageously that Miss Cary burst
into tears.
Nilsson is engaged to a French
man with a long mustache, but she
leads the poor fellow a dreadful life.
The Frenchman is naturally jealous,
and of course, jealous of Capoul.-
Capoul's love making begins to tell
on Nilsson, who has lately shown
more fondness for the handsome
love-maker than for her old faacee.
The story goes that the disti'lgue
Frenchman has been so fearfully
jealous of Capoul that the other
day he swas desirous of shooting
him - this because Capoul has
made such fearful stage love to
Nilsson that she has really lost
her heart, and declares now that
she loves him even bett9r than
her old lover. CapouI is a dissipat-
ed, jolly, deVil-may-care fellow of
the stage, and Nilsson is in a bad
fix, for he is no kind of match for
her.
Poor Nilsson, if I were in your
place, would dismiss them both,
and take the crazy Dutchman, for
you are sure he loves you. No
fellow would go over to the House
Of Correction tor ten days for a girl
if he didn't love her.-[Eli Perknsi.

Indiana KU.KIux,

On Saturday night last two ladies
and three gentlemen, disguised, dis
tributed twenty-five turkeys to vari-
Gus parties in Sullivan. About II
o'clock at night we were aroused
from our slumbers, and Oh opening
the door we were wished a happy
Christmas and presented with large
turkey. This was rather a singular
and unexpected gift, and we were
left to wonder as to who the gener-
Gus donor was. All the widow
women in Sullivan were remember
ed on this occasion, also the minis
Iters and editor5.-[Sulliv Indiana)

NY FLOWERS.

BY JOHNNIE ROVER.
Long years ago, tiny flower
I in my bosom p!auteI,
And watched it grow from hour to hour,
Until stood enchanted.
It bloomsd at last, so sweet blossom,
All gold aud silNer-hued;
Until it filled my childish bosom
With gentle motions as viewed.
This little flower still blooms to-day,
In all It's verdant splendor
1t ns'er will droop, ns'er shall decay
IT'S FRIENDsHIp plant so tender.
then beside this plant essayed
Another still more tender;
And nurtured it with care, and prayed
That God be its defender
It too did bloom, so pure and white,
Ny soul caught the in nfection;
A spirit passed on pinions light,
And whispered, "'Tis Affection F'
Though years have sped their tiresoma Night,
And passed to ages olden,
Yet this sweet fow'ret blooms as bright
As when twas first beholdeu.
And yet another grew beside
Those two I 90 much treasured,
Until in beauty it had vied,
In grandeur far outmeasured;
gazsd upon its pearly petal,
Aud stood enchained, enchanted there,
Wondering in my holy vigil,
What was Ibis flower, SO sweet and fairP
Then came an angel from above,
Straight from the heavenly portal,
And smiling said, THAT flower is LOVE-"
Then on it wrote "Immortal"

The YearIs7I.

The year 1871 will long be re-
membered as having witnessed
many stirring events in the history
of the 18th century. The dethrone.
ment of an emperor, with the hu.
initiation of q mighty nation /; the
destructive effects of a confagration
unequaled in modern times, which
laid waste, and almost ruined the
population of one of the most pro,
gressive cities of the Western world;
a prince, heir to the grandest mon
archy of the age, one on whose life
so much may rest of peace aud
prosperity to the nation which ex
poets one day to call him king
lying through anxious weeks, at the
the point of death, and finally just
escaping the destroyer the advance
of republican opinions generally in
Europe, the success of which still
seems to hang in the balance the
organization of the French Com.
mune, with it's defeat and conse,
quences - these were the salient
events of the year.
In the past year, too, we have
seen, in the visit of one of Russia IS
noblest scions, a welding of the link
of friendship between the two great
countries of the East and West,
bearing with it a political signif-
cance yet to be interpreted. We
have seen, too, a real and steady
progress in the prosperity of the
United States, whose recovery from
the shock of civil war is the admi-
ration of the world. With this sue
cess, we note the steady westward
march of civilization, the opening
up of wildds and forests, to become
the habitation of man, by railroa ad
and other enterprises, bringing dis
tant points together, which until
now were separated by weeks and
months Of travel; We see, too, the
steady determination of our people
to profit by the experience of the
past, as one of the great secrets of g
nations greatness, with a resolve tc
reform abuses to which we have
become a prey by neglect.

Mr.. Billings Opinions.

Face all things even adversely il

A man with a phew branes ia

Men ov little authority are like

I hev known people who had so

Blessed il he who can pocket sbuce

Reform School for Girls.

The annual report of the above
institution shows the school to be in
a prosperous condition. The Super
intendent says the health Of the pu-
pills is good ; that they are improv-
ing IN mind and morals. He no
longer thinks the school is an ex-
pertinent, but thinks areform school
for girls over sixteen years Of age
could be established and do great
good to girls who are now leading
improper lives. The present school
is not a place for the confinement
and reclamation of prof1igats adults,
but a refuge or home for the friend
less of tender years, where they
may be properly trained intellect
ualIy, morally aud in habits of in-
dustry. The whole number Of pu-
pills enrolled in this institution one
year ago was nIty. During the
past year hfty-fOur have been ad-
mitted, making the entire number
received one hundred and four.
During the year six were diseharg-
ed for various reasons, which leaves
ninety-eight at present in the insti-
tutisn. Nineteen were received
during the past year of American
Parentage; five colored; thirteen
German six Irish thirteen un-
known. OF the whole number re-
ceived fOrty-seven were Of Ameri-
can parentage; ten cOlored ; fifteen
German ; four English seven Irish;
seventeen unknown. The report
shows that the school and farm, in
all its departments, is in a prosper
GUS condition.

THE WINTER WEDDING.

The air is thick with falling snow,
The white drifts i'll the street;
But, decked with flowers the church, within,
As summer-time is sweet.
Ny earliest and my truest friend
To-day a bride shall be
Strew Loves own roses in her path,
For worthy love is she.
And glad to twine her bridal wreath
Of orange flowers was I,
Though well I know the wedding kiss
Is friendships last "Good-bye"
Her girlhood's hopes and fears knew,
Its pleasures and its cares;
But in a woman's highest bliss
No other woman shares.
And, grateful that this joy is hers,
do not grievs TO see
Her willing footsteps choose path
That leads away from me.
For well know the stars must fade
From out the sun lit sky,
And evermors tn wedding kiss
Is friendships last "Good bye"

"Strike out Of existence, at once, ten

banana, and the bread fruit, with a
half a dozen others which serve as
the forage of the domestic animals,
and the human race Wouid be ex-
