A man in a mill in Plumes, California,
felt tug at his coat tail. He looked
around and saw that it was being dragged
in by cog wheels. He grabbed a post and
held on with all his might while the coat
was slowly torn from him. The struggle
was hard one, but the man won.

AN OLD USE FOR HAMMERS.-"l re-
member" says a correspondent OF the
Medical and Surgical Journal, shat when

ters with boiled hammers. Old DR.. Twitch-
ell, of Keene, (peace to his ashes y once
wanted to blister some one in a farm
house, far from home. He had nothing
with him to do it with. He asked his wife
to find him hammer. The article was
brought out, put in tea-kettle over the
fire, and, after the water steamed and
dubbed we'll, he lifted it out and gently
touched it to his patient in a half dozen
spots over the seat of pain, with very posi-
tive effect Boiled hammers were, for
many years, used in that neighborhood for
pleuriN and every old lady knew nothing

THE TWO ARMIES.
BY O. W. HOLMES.

BY O. w. HOLMES.
A life's unending column pours,
Two marshalled hosts are seen
Two armies on the trampled shores
That death flows back between
One marches on to the drum-beat's roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray,
And bears upon cflmsoned scfon,
''Our glory is to say.
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad, yet watchful eyes,
Calm as the patient planets CLEAN
That walks the clouded skyes.
Along its front no Sabres shine,
No blood-red pennonS wave
Its banner bears the single line.
''Our duty is to save
: For those no tieath-bed7s lingering Shade /;
AT Honor's trumpet call,
With knitted brow and lifted blade,
LII glory aims they 1dll.
For these no flashing falchions bright,
No stirring battle cry /;
The bloodless stabber calls my might
Each answers Here am p
For those the sculptor's laureled bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pealing DER their dust,
Through long caG1edral aisles
For these the blossom-sp rinlled turf
That floods the lonely graves,
When spring rolls in her sea- green surf
In howery foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning life-drop's flow.
Each falling tear OF Love.
Though from the Hero's bleeding breast,
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
Sprang from the scarlet dew
While Yalor's naughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gate,
To sit beside the throne !

George Wayland, on his way home from
hard days work stopped III the post
Office in the far off Western city for the
long delayed letter from Maggie Carroll
1t had been q fortnight now, since he had
received the last, and a worried sort Of
feeling took possession of him at the delay.
Was Maggie i'll ? away from home-or-
George hated himself for the ugly thought
that more than once fitted unbidden across
his mind-Morrison' heirship to a long
disputed estate, that Maggie could have
changed her mind? Yes, it was barely
possible, and that was all, George decided ;
and when the mail was at last opened, and
the rush at the boxes was lessened some
what, and George actually saw there was
one for him, he felt it was very impossible.
But he shook with surprise and sick fear
to see Ned Morrison's handwriting. What
was the news i'll the sealed envelope ?
He tore it open, and wrapped in tissue
paper, dropped in his trembling hands
Maggie's gold cross!
Not word; only this mute sign-the
very token he had suggested How con
temptuous the blank sheet Of paper seemed
to him, and how utterably hooking did
his name in Ned MoTison's handwriting
appear.
so not only possible OF probable that
Maggie could throw him over, but actually
undeniably the fact, that she had done SO.
And he away out West, with but one friend
his companion in labor, Maggie s,cousin
Jim and stinting to save money for Mag
gle, and working day and night for her
sake.
O was it any wonder he CRASHED his
teeth in rage Of grief! He crushed his
letter into his pocket and drew his cap
down over his eyes, and strobe on, dumb
from the blow, never seeing, never hearing
jim Carroll, who had got a letter from
home, and having read it was waiting for
George.
what can all the man?' thought jim,
with wonder, and he started after him and
stepped ON some little, hard object as he
put his foot down. He stopped and picked
up the little golden cross.
George has lost it off his watch chain

He put it in his pocket and went on, in
tending to overtake Wayland and give him

him pencil note from Wayland:

Christmas.

THERE are 40 many pleasant memo
,ies connected with the Christmases
OF the past that no matter how hard
the times are,- or how heavy cares
press upon rs, our mind goes back to
the happy days of childhood, when
the good Santa Claus was a real Il 81
and blood being a punisher of bad
boys. and rewarder OF gOOd ones I;
when our stockings we're hung with a
rev, renee BY the chImDsypi piece, ON the
old Dutch-tiled mantel, and we lay
awake, between hope and dread, lis
tening tor the bell which was KRIS
Kingle's signal. until the sandman
overcame us, and despite Ourself, we
dropped of to sleep and dream Of the
morrow.
Shame on the man who does not
enjoy Christmas. and who does not
endeavor at least one day in the year
to make all around him happy. 1t Is
the anniversary Of Gods glorious gilt
80 man, which brought salvation into
the world; let carpers say that we do
not know the exact day, but suppose
We do not; there was such aday, and
the day we observe is in memory Of
l.
Let every man,-granting cares are
many. and burdens heavy,-try to for
Get his burdens and his cares, and at
last play at happiness. 1t will do
him good. II will brush the cobwebs
from his heart, and add a year or
two, or may be ten to his life.
And then take your wife and your
little ones to the stores; let them see
the beautiful things and buy them
something; why it is worth gold
mine to see them happy. And do
not con6ne your benefactions to them.
Help the poor make everybody hap
DIV YOU have a chance to; remember
il nav be, "angels unawares."
And then again remember. Sin as
much as We did it to one Of the least
of these little ones, We did it unto me.

THERE seems to be a great pressure
of business in Congress, ana the mem
bers generally have gone to work rs
if they meant to accomplish some,
thing.
There are several propositions tor
relief in the money market, and the
most prominent one is that proposed
hy Ben Butler, which we believe Is
identical cr nearly so with the meas
ure proposed by w. d. pig IRON
Kelley, of Pennsylvania. What
ever the faults of the scheme may be,
there is certainly q great deal OF
plausibility m it.
The proposition is that Bonds be
issued by the Treasury of the United
States, bearing interest AZ the rate OF
3.65 per cent interest per year, and
that greenbacks should be convertl
bic into these bonds at will. thus max
ing the government really the great
banker of the country.
The argument is, that the average
gold rate of interest in the world al
least in England, is only 3 per cent
and as the United States bonds are
really worth more than gold, that is
the gold 6 per cent bonds, that in
the scheme proposed. bonds would be
still a little better than gold, and
greenbacks being interchangeable with
bonds. they would really be as good
as gold.
We are not fnancier enough 10 see
the faults of this scheme, but 1t has
in the view of many members of Con,
gress, faults, for there have been
several speeches made against It by
men who are looked on As good au-
thOrity. There is vital necessity
for some early action in the case, and
we are prepared TO look tayOrably o.
any scheme which will have the effect
claimed for this bill, ofmaking Green
backs as good as Gold, and money
more plentiful than it has been.
