The Salaries Of Opera Singers.

A London correspondent writes as
follows concerning the salaries of opera
singers confess to have been one
of those who was completely skeptical
as to the sums alleged to be paid to
great tenors and very leading sopranos.
[ give both the words their English
piurals, because they have become
English by adoption. But [ am con-
verified from my sceptism by facts with
In my own knowledge. I know that
within the last week Adeline Patti has
refused an offer of e200 a night. She
was offered that honorarium for each
Of six nights, extending over
fortnight. Six hundred week for
three nights singing, in
opera, OF music every bar of which she
has all by heart But she was deaf to
all entreaties., She would not be brib-
ed by FL, 200 to postpone her holiday
for fortnight, even though this fort
night would have been spent within
short rides of some Of the most beauti-
full land and sea scenery in the United
Kingdom. Managers have fguratively,
If not literally, to go down upon their
knees to the operate stars, when offer
ing them larger payment than is given
to the President of the United States,
the Prime Minister OF England, or to
Won Moltke when be was conquering
France for the Emperor of Germany.

invention for making fortune as

Christmas Times.

tbs winters reign, and winds are signing,
Der the city and the plain,
And the snow-fakes thick are flying,
Born upon the storm amain
And the poor are lowly creeping,
In their cherries dwellings sleeping,
And their eyes are red with weeping,
Sad with want and cold and rain.
IT'S winters reign, and bells are ringing,
PealiBg forth the Christmas chimes,
And blithe, buoyant hearts are singing
Of the merry festive times.
In the hall the lights alt cleaning.
And bright eyes with gladness beaming,
And each breast of joys Is dreaming,
AS they chant their Christmas rhymes.
IT'S Winters reign, and the souls peering
Into brighter realms affair;
Where its pilgrimage is nearing,
Far beyond each sun and star,
Where are lasting joys forever,
And where kindreds never sever,
And where sorrows never enter,
In those blissfHl regions far.

And sweet as has hfes vintage been through al
Still, as at Canas marriage feast tbe hest wine Is

Again before me, with your names, fair Chester's
Its meadows, woods, and ample barns, and quaint
stone-bullded homes.
The smooth shorn vales the wheaton slopes, the
Doscage green and soft,

And 10 (! from all the countryside come neighbors

From city, hamlet, farm house old, the wedding
And they who, without scrip or purse, mob-hunt.

In freedoms age, as martyrs came, as victors now
return.
Older and slower, yet still the same, files the

And hearts are light and ewes are glad though
they are badger gray.

Midst roaring flames end shouting mob, of Penn

And they of Lancaster who turned the cheeks of ty

God give them now, whate'er their names the peace
OF duty done!
How gladly would tread again the old remember

Sit down beside your hearth once more, and look in
the dear old faces /!
And thank you for the lessons your fifty years are
teaching,
For honest lives that louder speak than half our
noisy preaching;
For your steady faith and courage in that dark and
evil time
When the Golden Rule was treason, and to feed the
hungry, crime;
For the poor slaves house of refuge when the
hounds on his track, ?.
And saint and sinner, church and state, Joined

Blessings upon you What you did for that sad

So homeless, faint, and naked, unto our Lord was

The mellow sunset of your lives friends of nv

May many of quiet years be added to your

And late at last in tender love, the reckoning ange

Dear hearts are here, dear hearts are there alike

Our friends are now in either world and love is

A Christmas Gift.
BY NJ. D. BRINK.

. Around the Christmas tree we stood,
And watched the children's faces,
AS they their little gifts received
With childish airs and graces.
We grown folks had our share of fun
In making wee ones merry
And laughed to see the juveniles
Kiss meath the s. holly berry,
Beside me sat sweet Bessie Moore,
A lovely dark-eyed maiden,
While near her stood our little Eve
Her arms with love-gifts laden,
Until around the room she went,
The blue-eyed baby, shyly,
And, blushing red, into each lap
Her offerings dropped slyly.
But when to me the darling came
ALI empty handed was she
And when 1 asked, "Why slight me thus 2"
She answered, Oh, because we
We dinna know you cumming here !"
And then, with blue eyes shining,
To Bessie's side she went, her arms
Her sisters neck entwining.
But something must have,' said I,
My Christmas night to gladden."
shade of thought the baby face
Seemed presently to sadden.
I'LL all at once, with gleeful laugh
fOh know what do, Sir
I've only sister Bessie left
But I'll div her to you, sir!'
Amid the laugh that came from all
/ drew my new gift to me,
While with flushed cheeks her eyes met mine,
And sent thrill all through me.
. Oh blessed little Eve ~ cried I,
I" Your gift welcome gladly!'
The little one looked up at me,
Half wonderingly, half sadly.
Then to her father straight turned,
And humbly asked his blessing
Upon my Christmas gift, the while
My long-stored hopes confessing.
And as his aged hands were raised
Above our heads, bowed lowiy,
The blessed time of Christmas ne'er
Had seemed to me so holy.

Christmas Past and Christmas Present,

The mighty Yule log once flourished, no doubt.
But its race, like the mammoth, has fairly run out
And the cheeriest fire that is left for our dole
Is the CRATE full of clinker we purchase for coal
Where is the famous old mistletoe Dough,
With all its delightful old mysteries noWS
Alas, it grew seedy, and went to decay,
Before our great grandmother's grandmother's day
And the brave boars head--(black letter for piel-
Bedecked with fragrant rosemary sprig2
The twelfth CAKE too and the peacock pies
And the hot snap dragon, and holly likewises
Nothing remains but the noble nince-pie,
And the jolly roast goose that is said to hang
high"
But what that signifies passes my witt
Same flavor, perhaps shouldn't wonder hita

Longing and Rest.
BY N. J. BASSET1


There is heart that loves me,
But tits SO far away /;
pray thee, heart, come near me,
And with me ever stay.
There is an eye hath beamings
Of tenderness for me;
But what avail their gleamings
II these cannot see?
There is hand caressed me,
And soothed my weary brow;
Though soft and warm it's claspings
/ cannot reach it now.
There is voice so tender
That spake in thrilling tone
But that to me tits silent,
My heart makes saddest moan.
Heart, heart, thou CONTEST near me.
Soon shall I feel thy beat;
IT'S, sure, taste of Heaven
When loving hearts may meet.
Eye, eye, feel tiny soft ray,
In loving tenderness
What pow'r it hath to quicken,
What pow'r it hath to bless
Hand, hand, thy soft caressing
Hath soothed my weary pain;
I kiss thee, hand, III blessing,
And Gasp thee once again.
Voice, voice, so sweet, I hear thee,-
Thou still hast loves pure tone
To bring life rich completeness,
IT'S but thy charm I own.

SOME months ago Lithuan lynx es-
capped from travelling menagerle at
Altoona, Holstein, and 800 reward was
offered for it's capture, but in vain.
Not long ago sentinel at Kiel OBJ
served a strengthening, cat-like animal
crawling out of the mouth Of a large
cannon on the ramparts, and after a
time returning with duck in it's jaws.
The man got assistance, net was
spread over the muzzle Of the gun. and
the missing lynx was recaptured, TO-
gether with domestic cat and litter
OF three young ones. These curious
kittens have been transferred to the
botanical garden of Hamburg, where
they have been visited by many ma

LOngfellOW.


Poet of the many KEYS,
Rich are all thy melodies
Not for serf alone nor king
Is the message thou dost bring
Not for sect and not for clan.
But for universal man.
Worthy thou to win the fame
That has gathered round thy name.
Poet Of the sunny life,
Naught OF discord, envy, strife,
Harshly breaking through thy lays,
Mars the music OF thy days.
Like the stream, IN tranquil power,
Day by day and hour by hour.
Flows thy gentle life along,
SWeeter than the sweetest song.
Poet of the silver locks,
Time the thoughtless graybeard mocks,
But IN reverence bends his head
Where the great and noble tread.
Men, too, low and reverent,
Praise the years so wisely spent.
Such the life that thou dost live,
Such the homage we would give.
Poet Of the kindly heart,
Better than thy classic art
That the muse has deigned to lend
LfOiy PaSO euy uduu Las ptuHou,
Is the love which thou hast taught,
By each tender word and thought,
Sprung from other hearts to Irvine
Round that loving heart of thine.
Poet of the golden tongue,
Still sing on as thou hast sung,
Through the future, as the past
Ever sWeeter to the last
Ere the snow shall fill thy paths,
Bring home many Aftermaths
Still, as thou hast been so long,
Be our Chrysostom of songl

Wheat Pr0spect,

We learn from Mr.. P. M. Williams, who
has just returned from trip to Greene
vile and NOlachuckee, that the prospects
for good wheat crop are very Dad. He
says that here and there good field could
be seen, but that the majority of the fields
ticular pains to inform himself on the sub
ject, and from every quarter the reports
come very unfavorable. Mr.. Zimmerman,
his partner, says that he has conversed
with number of men from different coun-
ties, and from all the information that he
can gather. East Tennessee will not pro-
duce much over one-half the amount of
wheat this year it did last year. This,
however, will not necessarily increase the
price of wheat in the least, as the reports
from the west indicate tina: an extraordi-
nary heavy crop will be produced there
this year, more than making up the def
cheney in this State.
