Organize q Congress.

A writer to the Vor PopuH suggests
Congress to fix a price on farm pro-
ducts. He says
"The growers of all States west of
the Alleghanies should organize Con-
gress to .tir a price ON their oton 7,roduc-
lions. All ether trades have their
prices, but set prices for us, making us
their slaves. This should not 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 hurry in disposing
of your crops. Make terms with your
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-
ton of another crop, is the advice of an
Illinois farmer"

A CHRISTMAS RHYME.
BY HELEN J. ANGELL.l

BY HELEN J. ANGELL.!
One Christmas evening, long ago
Just how long, 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
That money cannot buy
Things needful as ones daily bread;
This year those gifts I'll 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 a husbands life
Back from the drunkard's doom;
And for another hopeless wife
Opened the peaceful tomb:
Through many a village rank with strife
Babe flowers of concord bloom.
One sore-tried soul he made so brave
That right the victory won;
With tears upon new-made grave
Saw higher life begun:
Back to a widowed mother gave
An erring, Borrowing son.
He brought to many household band
A welcome little guest;
To more than one the heart and hand
OF her he loved the best:
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.
A 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.
