With which she used TO tuSsle,
She snatched the wool all of lis back
And stuffed it in her hustle.
The lamb soon saw he had been flescol.

The following exquisite Irish ballad was
published over an anonymous signature in
q London paper. Let Irishmen read it:

For it's breaking my heart will be;
But a treasure j lftake for ould Irelands sake

And won't the poor lad in his exile be glad
When he sees the brave present bring?
And won't there be flowers from this treasure of

Talking to Santa Claus.

"Children make Christmas what it is," said Aunt Prim. "I remember my baby, nice little Plum, cherished firm belief that Santa Claus lived up the chimney and as Christmas drew near, and visions of possible gifts filled her little heart, she would go slowly and timidly to the fire, hesitate moment, and then deliver, aloud, 'Tea-set P up the chimney, running away instantly as fast as she could, with vague fear of pursuit from the unknown deity. We used to hear her calling ont these ab- rupt messages at all hours of the day Dolls, Nos yark,' Yittle tart wid horses, were fred up the chimney like minute-guns. Once, when she had been fretful, her mother endeavored to quiet her by the suggestion that Santa Claus might hear her. This seemed to have an effect. Miss Plum sat de- murely on her little stool for some time :; but finally the idea of an unseen sen- tlnel became oppressive, and going to the grate she called out, Santa Claus, you needn't watch me any more my mamma can take care of me-"

The Sentence of Marshal Bazaine.

M. Lachaud, the counsel for Marshal Razaine, finished his address before the court-martial. He declared that as the Marshal did not surrender in the open field he was guiltless of violating article 21O of the army code. He said: "I deeply symyathize with the valiant soldier overwhelmed by terrible accu- sation. I fear not death for him. He is brave and fears nothing but the loss of his honor for the sake of his wife and children. I feel most for France, which will .deplore the loss of valorous sol dier. Your honors, patriotism forbids that you condemn him. You know what political trials are, on the spot on which posterity has raised 8 statue to those executed after such trials"
 M. Pourcet replied, demanding that 8 terrible example be made, as lesson to the rising generation.
 Before the judges withdrew Bazaine said: l have two words in my breast, honor and country. I have never been wanting towards this proud motto dur ing forty-two years of service. I swear before Christ that I have not betrayed France"
 After 8 long deliberation the judges declared Bazaine guilty of the charges of the capitulations of Metz and of the army in the open field without doing all that was prescribed by honor and duty to avoid the surrender, and unanimous. ly condemned him to death and to be degraded from his rank previous to his execution.
 After judgment had been rendered al the members of the court signed an ap peal for mercy, which the Duke d'Aum ale conveyed in person to President MacMahon.
 Bazaine was greatly agitated when ht heard the decision of the court. The decision of President MacMah on of France, in the case of Bazaine is an. nounced. The sentence of deatl against the Marshal is commuted tc twenty years seclusion. He is to beal the effects of degredation from rank but will be spared the humiliating cere mony.
 Marshal Bazaine addressed letter tt his counsel, thanking them for thei efforts in his behalf, and concluding al | follows:
 I shall not appeal against the sentence, no wishing to prolong in the eyes of the world thu spectacle of such painful struggle. reques you to take no further steps. look no longe to men for judgment Strong in my con science which reproaches me with nothing confidently await the justification which vii como with the lapse of time and the subsidenc of party passions.
 The Conservative press generally ap prove of the communication of tn, sentence. The Steele says it will creat, painful feeling of surprise in the country.

A Salary Speech.

Among the many speeches made in the United States Congress, MT. Crocker, of Massachusetts, amid much laughter and applause described the un- certainty of his mind after the adjourn ment of last Congress as to what he should do with the back pay which he had received, after voting against the bill. He said he was in the category of those who had taken the back pay. He had collected it all according to law, every cent. He did not like to be slow in returning it. He had tried to get some company in that action but failed. He had, however, found some noble men who had made up their minds to give the back pay to schools. He had finally deposited it in one of his banks, thinking it would lie there safely enough. After that he had become grievously sick. He had not made up mind as to what his conscientious duty in the matter was, so being very sick he called his confidential clerk and said to him, Here, put that to the credit of the United States. It is small matter, but there will be enough effects left to pay for it." He had done that because he intended to do right about the mat
 ter. Now, he continued, comes the se- quel. began to get better. I took up one paper which told me that l was a salary-stealer. Another said was a salary -grabber. Another called me this thing and another that. By and by I began to open letters and the let ters continue to come to this day, and as long as they continue to come that money, unless disposed of by the act of &o; Ho,,eo ru;11 1io xuboro if 1ioc raru r say that boldly. I do not act from in- timidation. am willing to act from my sense of duty to my God and conn., try. have had letter since l came here. I never heard of such thing. I got letter the other dey informing me that the best place for me was down at BlackwelIs Island. I should there find somebody who was congenial to me. Now come here and take the oath administered by the Speaker, while I hear from my own State, where I have disbursed millions on millions. that am 8 salary thief. Sir, I shall remain so until there is better feeling in the country, unless Congress shall act in the matter, and I shall most cheerfully pay back my little stipend, as Congress says. In conclusion, l ap- peal to my friends on this floor to come to some conclusion at once, and let it be unanimous one. I have been grati- fed by the dignity, decorum, and pro- priety, which have characterized our debates. It is worthy of such House of Representatives, emanating from the most free and glorious republic that the sun has ever shone upon.

Building Associations.

This is favorite mode of investment in some sections of the country, partic- ularly in Philadelphia and its vicinity. By means of the payments that are only required monthly, many 8 workingman or mechanic has been enabled from his earnings to provide 8 comfortable home for himself and family, who would otherwise never have been enabled to raise the sum required to make the first payment to secure the property. In order, however, to provide against pos sible loss in case of death before the payments are fully made, and the con- sequent inability of the family to con- tinue the payments, the purchaser of home in building association should secure policy of insurance upon his life in good company, by means of which the property could be secured to his family in case of his early death. One of the best of these companies is the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com pany of Philadelphia, in which policies for any amount, large or small, may be secured, or agencies obtained by appli- cation to the home office, No. 921 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, or to J. w. Iredell, Jr., No. 78 West Third street, Cincinnati, Ohio.-Cona.
