times he left it and the schooner
would drift a good deal. She was
also taking water, and we would go
out and work the pumps for awhile,

Governor Graham, who was one of til e

Tuao WIS altogether wonderful
rae. ~ Rochester Il week ago. when
the little stranger IIlt;t 1tfe',foj tn
champion Of Tie tiutting turf, and
walked off with The iineatTecoTd ever
yet achieved. The details of tie Of
fair show that in every Instiucc Lula
displayed capacity for speed not
merely greater bat iucOmparabiy great
er than the Goldsmith Maid Owing
to her very ugly habit of breaking and
the difficulty of restoring her to the
trot, it happened that Lula entered
upon the last quarter of each heat sew
eral lengths behind the Maid. In the
third heat, for instance, the Maid
passed the three-quarter pole four
lengths ahead of Lula, and yet in the
last quarter of mile Lula passed the
Maid trotting squarely and went un-
der the string two lengths the winner.
1t was one of the quickets heats on re-
cord-2:155-a phenomenal heat but
in that final quarter, wnlch 10y the
way was covered in just thirty-tive Sc
conds, with Goldsmith Maid eXertlng
her tremendous powers to the utmost,
the new conner, Lula, trotted exactly
six lengths more than did her
rival. It was not as though there had
been an ordinary contest in which
one horse or the other triumphed by
sustained effort. In every case the
stranger entered on the homestretch
at terrible disadvantage Of position.
aud won the race by a magnificent
burst of speed such as has never been
equaled, or even approached III the
annals of trotting. Unquestionably,
the Goldsmith Maid has never, at
any period of her career, done such
trottlng as Lula did in the third
quarter Of any of those marvellous
miles. And it is a simple matter of
repreesing Lula's tendency to break
III order to surpass the Maids best
time as signally as it had exceeded all
previous achievements.

A little inciden. came to our knowledge the
other day which, at this time, may be worth
the telling. Just after the holidays, in ls7s,a
physician in one Of the large cities, while
making his daily rounds. gave description -
one of his patients Of tho nlmhouse which lie
had visited that day, especially dwelling upon
the pitiable sight Of so many children TO whom
Christmas had not been even name, but had
passed in all the dull misery Of other days
The lady to whom ho spoke was hopeless
invalid, unable for years TO leave her bed
She was straightencd, too in means; bnt
hearing the story she determined that Tho
next Christmas should bring little pleasure
10 n. least some OF these little ones whom So
cicty bad thrust out OF the pale even a, their
birth. She had that inevitable storehouse in
every flmily, the "pieco-bag,' brought and
emptied on her bed, and began 10 make rag
babies. knitted mlt,ens. balls, &c.-the thou

only labor and patience to make them precious
to any child.
She hal a whole year in which TO work; hof
courage and zeal grew with every day her
friends became interested aud brought in their
contributions ofvevet, cloth, yarn, &c. When
she bad provided some little gift for each Of
the children she began 10 work for the insane
ward, then for the hospital OF course, as
nothing is more contagious than charity, the
idea spread among her neighbors. One brought
socks, another comfortable underclothing, m
old lady knitted Jacket, her son 4 collection
of pipes, one housekeeper pile Of chromos
and old prints, another a cart-load Of old mag
aznes. until by Christmas, although the aims
house has as many inhabitants as nourishins
town, there was not one fjr whom this woman
had p~ n little gift When the day came it
was observed as holiday the keepers making
an effort to bring the wards into condition
Of unusual cleanliness, and to provide dinnet

presents were given from the unseen friend.

All this happened las; Christmas, and was
the work Of one crippled poor woman. The
