ne This is the season for
confagrations, and unceasing
diligence should be exercised,
if we would be safe in life and
property. One of the most cf-
ficient aids for the restriction
of fire, when once caught, would
be a corporation equipment Of
hooks and ladders, One doz-
en- of the former and four or
five of the latter would be suf-
fcient to raze a building that
might be ablaze, and thus re-
strict the flames, if they could
not be extinguished, to the place
Of starting. S25 or so would
cover the expense, land the hooks.
etc, could be placed in charge of
a municipal officer, and a heavy
penalty enacted to follow their
removal by any other person,

PART q
That night the fire was buried deep
Underneath the ashes
Its flashing eyes were fast asleep
Under dull grey lashes.
So long waited there to hear
Those reindeer hoofs a-drumming,
That | began at last to fear
That good saint was not coming.
But suddenly l thought heard
Footsteps coming near me
l never moved or said a word,
Fearful he might hear me
The sound increased and louder was,
Thattirst, was but rustling,
Till ielt sure that Santa Claus
Was in the chimney burning.
KNEW he'd find the stockings there,
But feared he fill the wrong ones,
For had borrowed mothers pair,
She wore such very long ones.
So Thought to take peep
While Santa Claus was near Inc,
For when he thought was fast asleep
| knew he would not hear me.
That | should know him anywhere,
| felt profoundly certain,
So cautiously while he was there,
l folded back the curtain.
And then looked for Santa Claus.
Nor dreamed I'd see another
Now, who do you suppose it was ?
Why, bless you, 'tacaS my mother !!
She came and knelt down by my bed
When that sweet work was over
"God made her kind and good,'' she said:
'O'er her good angels hover"
never told her that knew
She was my Christmas giver,
For soon she went, as so must you,
Across the silent river.
And then little heart was left
Without her love to shield it,
OF almost every thing bereft,
That happiness could yield it.
And many, many times I've thought
OF all the thousand others,
Whose little hearts have vainly sought
To find love, like a mothers.
And so l've thought of what she said
That night while she was kneeling
Beside my little trundle bed,
Her tender love revealing.
Then have vowed would be true,
To all be kind and tender;
And so hope at last with you
A good account to render.
To be a rich sold Santa Claus"
To all it is not given,
We must all be good because
IT'S that will make our heaven.

SANTA CLAUS.
BY MRS. C. N. EvARD.

PART L.
Twas cold wild night, and the ground
IS was white
| With the frost flowers Of the snow;
And the stars looked down on the quiet
With its streets and halls aglow.
1t was Christmas time, and the merry chime
Of the evening bells rang clear,
On the frosty air, as if to declare
Twas the happiest time of the year.
For jolly St. Nick has clever trick
OF filling his sleigh with toys,
And swift as dream, with his reindeer
team,
He visits the. girls and boys.
Now I've heard it said that he has dread
Ut freezing his turned up nose;
Well, 1t may be so, for fierce winds blow
And its cold where he often goes.
But he's getting DID, and we will not scold
II we don't quite fancy his ways,
For We must depend on him as friend,
Or what would we do holidays?
When was child, with feelings wild.
uoSu W near uSdF IHOin0f say
We must keep out of sight, Santa Claus
comes tonight, !
And Tomorrow will be Christmas Day."
And l thought the old sprite, when he came
in at night,
Had to crawl down the chimney wide;
And all little boys who wanted his toys
Must hang up their stockings inside.
Well, one night l slept where the stockings
were kept
All ready for St. Nick to fill;
Then | crept into bed and covered my head, /
Determined for once to keep still
The place for the fire was wider and higher
Than places are made nowadays,
And the fire felt good, when the great logs
of wood
Were wrapped in a bright ruddy blaze!

Modern Inventions.


reader to take due notice Of
We begin to think that there is
nothing in the wide realms of
imagination that Contemplating
citizens" cannot achieve; as We
are quite sure there can be moth
ing that they are not prepared
to attempt. That association
for the scientific regulation of
storms, and supplying rain in
season of drought, who have to
the present time acted only in
newspapers and pamphlets, may
be ready for practical operation
against the exigences Of the
next potato crop. The pious
sect whose hope and aim ap-
pears to be to hasten the advent
of the day of Judgment, and
who are now chatting under dis
appointment at the last post
ponement Of the predicted G.
vent, are again preparing their
white robes, and may perhaps
succeed in bringing about the
end ofall things in 1975-which
will certainly be the last and
browning triumph of mortal en-
terprise, and save mankind the
sins and expenses of the next
Presidential election.
To bring back the spirits of
the departed IS nowadays a
trifling achievement: may We
not hope that the day is not far
distant when they will be put
to useful purposes? Now that
we can at any moment compel
them from their "vasty deeps,'
whynot make them seryiceable?
If Livingston and Story come
obcdicnt to the summons Of a
Illinois Judge. as recorded in
the Chicago Tribune, why not
re-install their spirits in the pla-
ces they filed with so much hon
or while in the body, and save
the salaries of mortal judges of
less ability? We are in want
Of new dramas, and there is no.
toriously no man can write
them: yet the ghosts Of Shaks-
pearc and Sheridan, are, may be,
longing for the opportunity
People in the country are cry
ing out for want of "help;" and
yet Mr.. Doodle and Miss Moo
die command the services of ro-
bust spirits, who lift with ease
tables with three or four men
upon them. Confound the lazy !
rascals! let them be employed
in more profitable and sensible,
The year 1874 re-
duced the old difficulty of "rais-
ing the DEVIL" to a very simple
matter: let 1875 put the william
to work, to prevent him from
doing further mischief, and to
reform his morals. The more
modern and far greater difficult
ty Of "raising the wind" remains
to be conquered, and with the
discovery of perpetual mo-
tion," will, We trust, be a.
mong the new inventions
that an anxious world is waiting
to welcome. The grand Pacific
Railroad Company, under the
of Messrs. Tom. Scott,
Jay Cooke, &c, was bent OH
the first of these prob
lens; and if human ingenuity
and pertinacity can elucidate
the mystery of financial wind
raising, it is in a fair way of be-
ing made Ineligible to the sim
plest capacity that has a few
to invest. 1he act OF
railroad from nothing
is already understood, but to
credit out of noto-
rious insolvency and reputa-
ton for desperate financial
"sharp practice" is an achieve
ment worthy of monetary ge-
MUS of the age; and its success
full accomplishment will be hail
ed with rapture by the thousands
of"poor devils" affecting society
