THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Gods Other Name.


Tho snow lay sparkling on the ground,
The winters sun shone bright and clear
AND people passing, gayly talked,
Of Christmas games and Christmas cheer.
Within an attic. bare and high.
A mother a3d her children knelt
Praying to God for daily bread,
In tones the hardest heart might melt.
All day no fire hs- ii their hearth,
All day they ks 10. tasted food,
And now they cal on God to save,
And Will he? surely God is good.
After the plant had gone on high
Wee Willie said, with anxious air,
On mamma, 10 YOU think God heard?
And II he heard, dye think he'll care?r
-'My son." the weary mother said.
God hears tie ravens when they cry,
He loves them. and lie gives them food,
He will not Jet his children de-
That night, while richer children slept.
And dreamed Of whip, and horse and horn.
And what old Santa Claus should bring,
1o MI their socks on Christmas morn
That night, an angel visited
his lowly home n mortal guise,
And placed good food. and warm, plain clothes
Where first should fall their waking eyes.
Next morning. when wee Willie woke
And rubbed apart his sleepy eyes,
Hearing the Ginning Christmas bells,
He saw the basket with surprise.
- God sent il, then he thought, "I'm sure,
For mamma only las. night said
God feeds the ravens when they cry,
And now guess he's sent US bread.
He knew we waEte6 Il. think,
Because We tod him so last night
Then quickly 70 his mother ran,
His bright eyes dancing with delight.
"Oh ma wake up, and read this note,
And see the things God sent. because
We asked him 70" His mother read
"A gift to you from Santa Claus"
From Santa Clans thought twas God;
But then IL .ove hin all the same
Because, think-ms, amt il so p
Amt Santa Claus God's other name?-

For once in his life Willie could not
go 20 sleep In five minutes. He lay
warmly tucked up IN his patchwork
quit, his blue eyes wide open, listening
20 the wind roaring sway outside.
Hark |! 1t Is saying something TO him.

His eyes opened wide and wider as a
gruff voice shouted out:


gruff voice shouted out:
''Over the sea +! over the seal
have blown all the way to your home
Wake up little Willie, and listen to me,
From merry cid Euglsnd comet"
Did you? Well, what did you see
there, old northeast wind ?" asked
Willie, not the least frightened.
Surely he must have been asleep and
dreaming, or how In the world could he
have thought that the wind roared out
In answer:
Everything peeped in the win
dows of a stately old baronial castle and
saw them keeping Christmas in the old,
old fashion. Great wax lights stood in
rows along the walls, cleaning on the
ancient armor and huge antlers of the
deer which they had hunted and killed.
Wreaths of box and holly were on every
thing, and prodigious bunch of the
white waxen mistletoe berries hung
from the ceiling. On the wide, deep
hearth blszed whole tree-that was a
yule log, indeed There were games,
and jest, and laughter enough, prom
Use you Then the great wassail-cup
was brought in filled with hot spiced
ale, and every one drank from it in turn,
crying, 'Waes hazel, Sir Christmas 7
And then the waits came and stood be-
meath the windows-boys and girls from
the neighboring village-and sang the
strange, sweet old carol which their
forefathers had sung in days long gone
by"
"Oh, that must have been fine!" ex-
claimed Willie, sitting up in his excite
ment, and forgetting how cold it was
outside of his patchwork quilt. Cant
you sing it to me, old North Wind?"
I'm rather hoarse from that last
blo, answered the wind, "but I'll try.

tells US tnat, III the year lUlZ, upon the
day before Christmas, a party of fifteen
young women and eighteen young men
were singing and dancing in the church
yard belonging to the Church of St.
Magnus. Within the church the High
MSS was being celebrated, and the
revels of these giddy young people so
disturbed the officiating priest at the
altar, that, in his wrath, he prayed that
they might not cease their dancing for
a year
In those times prayers seem to have
been more efficacious than now, since
the request of the priest was granted,
and the jewellers danced on and on
throughout the entire year, knowing no
hunger, nor thirst, nor WEAKNESS, For
wear of apparel, although they wore
the earth beneath their feet until they
disappeared from sight. But the re-
turn of the Christmas time put an eud
to their frolic, and it is to be presumed
that they were quite content to return
to their homes and renounce dancing
for the rest of their natural lives.
Some of the prettiest legends come
from the Fatherland. At Christmas
the spinning wheels are furnished with
flax and left standing by the house
wives to await the coming of their
household divinity, who is called Hulda,
and who makes her annual visit at this
time to reward the diligent and to pun
ish the idle.
But when Hulda returns to her home,
at Shrovetide, the fax must be spun
of, and the spinning-wheels put out of

The TEMPERANCE MoyEMEST.-The

timed and pointed remarks were made
by the Rev. w. G. Hammond, after
which the assemblage was dismissed to

A large and interested audience as

an invitation previously extended, ap-
peared and addressed the audience in
his usual forcible and interesting style

humorous hits in thorough accord with
the speakers own genial and pleasant
disposition. At the conclusion of the
address of Mr.. Davies the meeting adj
journed. =,
As we have heretofore remarked, the
zeal manifested in this good cause seems
to be rather increasing than abating,
and the friends of it-and they are
many-indulge in the ardent hope that
our County Court, at its session next
week, will hearken to the prayer OF
hundreds of our best and most respecta-
bic citizens, and refuse to grant license
for the sale of intoxicating liquors. Inc
large majority of our people-lncludlng
among them men strongly addicted to
the habit of intemperance-we are sure,
are opposed 20 license, and if the voice
of the majority is heard, ''no license
will be granted at this term.-Sp,rH.
DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-One by

generation with the past are beng
