most irresistible desire to hug everybody in
creation.
So Hal married Rosebud, to the 10Y Of
the whole household and nothing happen
ed after that but congratulations and good
luck.
Dick never married. He thought it safer
to live by himself; and so he lived, until
Tom, one fine day, discovered treasure,
and secured it. Tom wrote Hal long let
ter all about it, and declared, in several
places, that he was very happy-in fact,
much happier than he deserved and that
as soon as Mr.. and Mrs Hal would call on
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom, Mr.. Tom would take
very great pleasure in introducing to them
perfect little fairy, with face like cam
eo-and who to tell the whole truth, could
be none other than Mrs. Tom herself!
Then Dick, like a good fellow, went to
end his days with Tom and his wife; and
he proved to be matter-of-fact enough to
strike a balance in the domestic circle, so
that they lived happily for many years.
Rosebuds mamma grew more and more
puddingish, until, like good mother-in-law,
she died of richness. So, on the whole, the
the amount of joy, that came of that Christ
mas pudding was only equaled by the guam
tity of misery everybody escaped in doing
just as he did /; and l believe the whole of it
may be credited to the eating of that partic-
ular pudding, and the eating of it cold, after
the pantomime-all of Christmas night !

Write Home ! Write Home!

Write home write home! The Christ
mas time for tender memories. and MEETINGS
of the soul. The New Years prime for
freshened purposes. Seasons blending well,
and blending now for us. Write home!
In many household, two articles are apt
to be laid on the shelf-the family bible and
the inkstand. If the former be sprinkled
with corner dust, the latter curdles its sed-
iment in its fluid moldiness holding the
stub of a pen in soak to uselessness, so that
should one use it, it would make a thick,
black, muddy down-stroke-and nothing
else. Others ofus there are who keep the
inkstand open all the time; and it is dip,
dip, scratch and scramble-producing much
waste paper in the world-good writing,
which, in after years, shall make poor kind
ling. So much that we write is altogether
80 mechanical, superficial, formal.
But write home. Write the expected
letters. Better little oftener, and a little
earlier, than in mere surrender to the de-
mands of expectation. Nevertheless, some
times the expected eracquires new charms
in its few hours of tardiness, like small
sum of interest paid with the principal. Let
it not run too long, however. Let it never
be too late. There are letters arriving for
the hands that are folded on the breast
the letters lie upon the mantel, while the
coffin lies upon the trestles; and it is an
awkward thing for colder hands to open
them. Write home

Our Little Women and Men,

Sitting on rustic benches,
Coming their lessons DER;
Some so short their bare brown feet
Can scarcely reach the floor.
Busy with book and pencil,
Busy with slate and pen,
These are they who'll rule the state
Our little women and men.
Under the shady naples,
They are busy as bees,
All the noontime keeping house,
Keeping house under the trees;
Then again at their lessons,
Puzzling DER two times ten,
Yes, these are our future rulers
Our little women and men.
Little worn frocks and aprons,
And hats with half rim,
Little eager, sunbrowned faces,
With dimple in cheek and chin;
Saucy and full of mischief,
Scolded again and again,
Never they mind the scoldings-
Our little women and men.
All the great of the nation
Were little once like these,
Now some Of them rule the land,
And some of them rule the seas;
They'll win who toll the hardest,
With sword, or book, or pen;
There waits a golden harvest
For our little women and men.

Many of our pioneers, whose ideas of mo-
rality are not of the strictest order, have
acquired the reprehensive habit of marrying
Indian squaws, according to the savage Gus
tom, taking sometimes one, sometimes more,
and changing about at will. We are glad to
see that this matter has come into the
Courts, and that it is held that man con-
tracing marriage with an Indian woman,
even in the Indian manner, shall be held
responsible for the contract. This will put
check upon barbarous custom, which
certainly should not be countenanced.

A sad story is told concerning 300 italian
emigrants-men, women and children-who
recently landed in New York. They had
been gathered from various Italian villages
by bogus agents, under the pretense that
they were to be sent to Buenos Ayres, which
was represented as sort Of paradise. They
sailed from Naples the latter part of October,
happy and hopeful At Marseilles they
were transferred to another steamer, bound
for New York, being told that it was near
Buenos Ayres, whittier they would be con-
veyed free of charge. They were robbed Of
nearly every cent they possessed all their
baggage was either retained by the bogus
agents or sent on to Buenos Ayres, and
they. at the beginning of cold winter, find
themselves in strange country, homeless
and penniless.

readers who subscibe to the paper for no
other purpose then to be informed of the
doings OF the outside world, caring moth
ing for personal difficulties as between
editors. The influence exerted by the
press, although great, would be increased
a thousand fold if writers would coniine
themselves to their legitimate business;
and when obliged to speak plainly and
to the point, do SO without "wringing
in" all the phrases originating in Billings
gate, and eliminating on the Barbary
Coast. 1t is said such things please the
popular taste. "God save the markI'
II popular taste means blackguardism,
then il would be better to release obscene
literature and vile productions of that
class from the ban now upon them, and
allow their hideous faces to be present
among our families and become the
s~chool-books of our children. There is
now but a thin line of distinction drawn
between popular journals and the class
mentioned above. To success, it seems
now only necessary to ferret out the
most diabolical crimes and outrageous
wickedness, polish the incidents with
good English and send it forth to be de-
voured by intelligent communities to ex-
cite their morbid tastes. w advocate a
change in this direction, n calculated
to elevate the character of newspapers
