Organize a Congress-.

A writer to the Voc PopuG suggests
a Congress to fix price on farm pro-
ducts. He says:
"The growers of all States west of
the Alleghanies should organize Con-
gress to .fe q 2orice..oaa their osO'a produc-
tio,as. All other trades have their
prices, but set prices for us, making us
their slaves. This should net be the
case with those who produce that which
keeps soul and body from speedy disso-
luton. Such Congress has been recon-
mended, and would be glad to witness
its accomplishment, as it is one of the
means of obtaining our just rights. Do
not be IN too great aa hurty 4s IN tF asPoSg
creditors as best you can. Go for re-
munerative prices for your produce.
Organize this Congress in the oranges
and clubs, and come to a full under
standing before engaging in the produc-
tion of another crop, is the advice of an
Illinois farmer"

was not lost enough for that We met
seldom and constrainedly after the death
of her mother. I think that we both
wept, after those meetings, to think that
what had been could never be again.
People wondered whether the marriage,
of which they had once heard as SO
nearly accomplished, and to which many
of them had been invited, was never to
take place-and if not, why not =? I
think that many of them called us
" fools l'' and applied even worse names.
There came a relief to all this one
day-a relief, L think, to both of us, for
it must have. been that we were slowly
breaking our hearts over those dead
bodies. Another relative of Milly's
made his appearance at Holdane, we'll
to-do, they said. She went away with
him to some great distance-where or
in what direction I do mot know. We
did not bid each other farewell coldly-
only fundamentally and we have
never seen each other since.
And that is why, this Christmas night,
I, who was uncharitable, am a lonely
man among you jewellers.

How He Got Over.

In Scotland they have narrow, open
bitches they call sheep drains. A man
was riding donkey one day across a
sheep pasture, and when Mr.. Donkey
came to sheep drain, he would not go
over it. So the man rode him back a
short distance and turned him around
and put the whip to him; thinking, of
course, that the donkey, going SO fast,
would jump the drain before he ever
knew it. But not so. On they came
and, when the donkey got to the drain
he stopped all of a sudden, and the
man went over Mr.. Jacks head. No
sooner had he touched the ground than
he got up, and, looking Mr.. Donkey
straight in the face, he said: every
weel pitched; but then, how are ye going
to get over yersel ?"

A CHRISTMAS RHYME.
BY HELEN J. ANGELL.

One Christmas evening" long ago
Just how long, 1 forget
The funds of Santa Claus ran low,
So he ran into debt.
Could he his usual gifts bestow
And all those bills be met?
He pulled his beard and scratched his head,
And set his cap awry.
" There are things in the world, >" he said,
fThat money cannot buy
Things needful as one'sIdaily bread;
This year those gifts III try"
And SO to one he gave friend,
And to another health,
And showed the third the baneful end
OF blessings won by stealth
Toward what sore loss their footsteps tend
Who too much haste for wealth. -
For one he won husbands life
Back from the drunkard's doom
And for another hopeless wife
Opened the peaceful tomb;
Through many village rank with strife
Bade flowers Of concord bloom.
One sore-tried soul he made 30 brave
That right the victory won;
With tears upon new-made grave
Saw higher life begun;
Back to a widowed mother gave
An erring, sorrowing son..
He brought to many household band
A welcome little guest;
To more than one the heart and hand
To work-wOrn frames, through all the land,
The blessed boon of rest.
An opening rosebud, sweet as June,
Soothes one poor sufferers woe;
strain from some forgotten tune
Revives the twilight glow
When lips, whose music died so soon,
Entranced the long ago.
ga good days work !" cried Santa Claus,
Yet won he little fame;
Men took his gifts like Natures laws,
Not needing whence they came;
And some averred they had no cause
Their logic was SO lame.
To you who own small store of gold
have a word to say:
Great blessing in your hands you hold
To gladden. Christmas Day,
- Since love cannot be bought and sold
Or kindness thrown away.
For, should no other soul be blest,
Your own will purer grow,
And each last Christmas be your best,
If such gifts you bestow;
For Christ will be your Christmas guest,
Beginning Heaven below.

Mr.. MAGINNIs is the Delegate from
Montana, and he tells some rather
startling stories about the doings of In
dian agents. Maginnis says d" The
agents will take barrel of sugar to an
Indian and get O receipt for ten barrels;
just as they will take one sack of flour
and get receipt for fifty. They will
take 800 head of cattle, march them
four times through the coral, get a re-
ceipt for 1900. give part of them to
the Indians, sell part to white man,
and steal as many back as possible"

A CHRISTMAS VISION.
BY ROSE TERRY.

BY hOSE TEhhG.
Sadly before the window
The floating snOw-hakes fell,
Along the air all cola and fair,
And on my heart as well.
The dreary weary winter,
Held up his mighty spear,
My blood ran chill with winter cold
And slow with winters fear.
But suddenly sunbeam
Across the snow-storm shone,
And, strange tC tell, like any spell,
The snow-iakes all were flown!
They vanished like a vision
Before the sunny flame,
And in their place sudden crowd
OF smiling angels came.
A million little angels
With faces dazzling fair,
And eyes as bright as starry light
Beneath their shining hair;
And through the moaning tempest
As suddenly there fell
A tiny, tinkling, laughing sound,
Like some sweet silver bell:
Another, aud another.
Till all the frosty sky
With soft repeat was ringing sweet.
And words came wandering by.
" We are loves little angels;
When earth is bare and brown
We cover all her wounds and scars
With mantles soft as down.
" The rocks that hid their faces
In summer, green and deep,
But frown to-day severe and gray,
We cover up to sleep.
4 N.
That lose their blossoms bright,
And weep for all their loveliness,
We veil with glittering white:
f" The forest boughs that shudder,
All knotted, black, and bare,
We hang with flowers like bridal bowers,
The blossom-bells of air.
/" The drear and silent solitudes
We veil with tender grace,
There is no blight we do not hide,
On all the sad earth's face.
Above the sleeping roses,
Above the Wildwood flowers,
We spread our warm and shining robes
Through all the winter hours.
ave are Loves little angels,
But mortal eyes are dim;
Men cannot see how fair we be,
Nor hear our joyful hymn:
" We are Loves shrouded angels,
But birds and blossoms know
When Gods dear love falls from above,
Though men may call it snowr'
