Nn, EDIToR:-Tbe anniversary of the
birth of our dear Redeemer is approach
ing. How fitting is the occasion to cal
to mind our great indebtedness to Hin
Who is the author of all the blessings
which we enjoy. and to contribute por-
ton of our abundance for the glory of
His name and the honor of His cause!
We love to give presents to our friends
on their birth days, and It's we'll, tits
joyous to be reminded on these occa
sions Of the treasures which we possess
in them.
It has bscome very popular to plant
Christmas trees in the Churches, and to
ornament them with gifts for old ana
young-with articles of value, and with
trifles; the remembrance of the name be
ing the principal object. Jealousies
sometimes occur at these gatherings,
and it has been thought that family resi-
dences would be more fitting place for
xhese festivals, while the Churches
might more appropriately be made the
scenes for contributions to the blessed
Savior for the great gift of His life to
redeem mankind from their sins and
open the way for their admittance to
heaven.
What spectacle more gloriously sub
lime than such an offering! How ex-
cee dinghy would the heart expand and
be uplifted in view of such active graft
tude Our Christmas trees in the
Churches borne down with the weight
of the offerings to Him who died
for Us, while songs of praise shall re-
sound through His temple!
And when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto Him gifts,
gold, and frankiHcense, myrrh." W.

management and alleged manipulations
of election returns, using police force to
effect his purposes.

ECONOMY IN COOKING. - Some
cooks have the faculty Of getting up
even the most common dishes in a
matter which is relished by every
one, and present a good appearance
on the table. A poor meal is never
seen on their table. The table-cloth
is white and carefully spread; the
knives and forks as bright as brick.
dust can make them, and the spoons.
no matter of what material, looking
the very best. Every husband and
father, coming from the drudgery
of business, would rather find a neat.
happylooking wife, with a plain, well
cooked, but simple dinner, than be
seated at sumptuous feast spread
on an untidy table with everything ly-
ing at loose ends, and wife with DISNEY
eled hair betokening i'll humor. The
first duty of the wife is to make the
home pleasant and aim at economy
in everything. This is an absolute
duty. There is more truth than fic-
tion in the old saying Of our grand
mothers, "A woman can throw out
with spoon faster than a man can
throw in with a shovel.-Peoples'

Veal outlets dip in egg and bread crmmb:
Fry till you see brOwniSh-red come.
In dressing salad mind this law,
With two hard yokes and take that :
raw.
Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber-brown all over.
Broil lightly your beef steak-to fry it,
Argues contempt of christian diet.
To roast spring chickens is to spoil 'em,
Just split 'em down the back and broi
'em.
The cook deserves hearty cutting
Who serves roast fowl with tasteless
stufiilIg.

A MRs. GEHNER, German lady
of St. Louis, made complaint oil
nuisance next door to her's-wild
beasts confined in a cellar, the mem
bers of Bailey's menagerie wintering
in that city. The st. Louis Demo
crat comments:
Mrs. G. says that every night be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, about the
time her family retire to rest, the
beasts commenced terrible concert
and keep it up until daylight ap-
pears; when they subside and become
as mute as mice. Besides being kept
awake all night, she is in mortal ter
ror lest the animals should escape
from confinement and tear her and
her family to pieces. She describes
the roaring of the lions as fearful to
listen to, while the snarling of the
tigers and leopards, the bowling of
the hyenas and the child-like walls
of the panthers are enough to terrify
the boldest heart. Mrs. Gehner thinks
the conduct of the inmates of the Gel
lar as decidedly beastIy, and desires
the city authorities to abate the nui-
sance. The question is what shall be
done with the nocturnal screamers?
1t will not do to turn them loose in
the streets, because the tigers would
go for the faro banks, and the lions
would register at the hotels, while
the bears would take possession OF
the city council chamber and the hy-
enas would make raid on the coun-
ty court. The leopards alone would
remain where they are put, as they
never change spots.
