1t Will be seen that even the New YorL,
IaperS cOncede that the Presidents message
upon Louisiana affairs is a strong and ef
feetiye document. In Washington circles
and especially amongst the republicans. the
message is looked upon as an exceedingly
able and fOTcible defence of the course OF the
Administration. The Washington cores
pondent OF the Baltimore AB,eTic0a writes n
that paper:
The Presidents message has given great
satisfaction 10 the republican members OF
Congress. and greatly Disappointed the dem
OcTatS, who were hoping for material with
which 10 keep up the present excitement
The opinion is very generally expressed here
Tonight that after this, no matter what mis-
lakes the President may make, Congress
must shoulder the whole responsibility il it
still persists in its policy OF inactiOn."

A Christmas Story-bY Dillon O'Brien.

"Holly and ivy! Holly and IVY"
1t is Christmas eve and all Lond on re-
sounds with this cry. 1t is heard in the
squares of the marble palaces, where dwell
the rich ones Of the earth, IN the adjoining
lanes with their Wondering houses and
dark purrets, where huddle the poor.
"Holly and ivy Holly and ivy - 1t

her tirst-born, picturing to herself the many
happy Christmases that she fouIly hopes

The weather was cold and bleak enough,
even for London Christmas eve. The snow
fell fast in wet fakes that melted as they
touched the ground. The cutters on each
side of the sidewalks seemed like diminutive
rivers, and foot passengers had to splash
through mud and water ankle deep.
"Holly and ivy - Holly and ivy !"
The cry fell UNDECIDED upon the ear of

Bar, antered his carriage which had been

The footman banged the door to, and away
the Judge was whirled TO his residence in
Cavendsh square; soon the carriage
stopped, the door opened, and the footman
held out his arm to support Judge Percival

even the weather could not alter, into a
plebian hurry. Slowly he assembled the
steps leading to his hall door when, just as

CHILDREN.

Come to me, . We children!
For hear you at your play,
And the questions that perplexed me
Have vanished quite away.
Ye open the eastern windows,
That look toward the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows,
And the brooks Of morning run.
In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine
In your thoughts the brooklets flow;
But in mine is the wind of Autumn,
And the first fall of the snow.
All! what would the world be to US,
If the children were no moreY
We should dread the desert behind US
Worse than the dark before,
What the leaves are to the forest
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
OF a brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
Come to me, 0 ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In yon sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contrviugs,
Ana the wisdom of our books,
When compared with your caresses
And the gladness of your looks
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
For We are living poems
And all the rest are dead

Captain James Hobbs, half-breed
Shawnee, who was born in jackson
County, Missouri, and who tor fifty
years, as man and boy. has had lite Of
alternate daring and exposure.
He tells of all he has endured in book
written himself and entitled: " Wild
Life in the Far West" 1t is a modest
book, but it is an lliad. Captain Hobbs
was boy when the Comanches got him !;
Captain William Bent, the brother OF
Captain Silas Bent, of this city. brought
him back; he has explored in Arizona
and found absolute relics ola lost race
he was soldier under Juarez and COM
manded famous battery; he was at

he has fought Apaches in the mou ntains
Of Chihaunau, and dug gold on the head

made FIVE wounds on his body, and eleven
bullets left behind them eleven scars; as
an Indian trader he never had q super
ior, and as fighter along the frontier
he was known from California to leav-
enworth as Et Diable Santiago.
The mans word is his bond. Modest,
unassuming, and diffident, he never YET
harmed y thing that was not at war with
its species. Sojourning briefly here in
ST. Louis, as he walks the streets with
his quaint attire and his outer gait that il
a cross between the gliding of y panther
and the spring Of a she-bear, he is thu
splendid type Of a civilization, that EN-
igration will help to absorb and the rail
road consisn to oblivion.

DOWN THE SLOPE.

THE LATE MISS CHARLOTTE P. HAYES, OF
WORCESTER.
Who knoweth life but questions death
With guessings of that DINNER day
When one is slowly lift from clay
On winged breath?
But man advances; far and high
His forces fly with lightning stroke,
Till, worn with years, his vigor broke,
He turns to die;
When 10! he finds it still life;
New ministrations and new trust;
Along that happy way that's just
Aside from strife.
And all day following friendly feet
That lead on bravely to the light
AS one walks downward, strong and
bright,
The slanted street;
And feels earth benedictions wide,
Alike on forest, lake and town,
Nor marks the slope--he going down
The sunniest side.
Oh, bounteous nature everywhere
Perchance, at least, one need not fear
A change, to cross from your love here
To Gods love there.

CHOOSING POULTRY.

In the choice Of poultry, the age of
the bird is the chief point to be attended
to. A young turkey has a smooth black
leg lin an old one the legs are rough
and reddish. In domestic fowls, the
combs and the legs are smooth when
the bird is young, and rough when it is
old. The bills and the feet Of geese are
yellow, and have few hairs upon them,
when the bird is young, but they are red
if it be old. The feet Of q goose are Pill
able when the bird is fresh killed, and
dry and stiff when it has been some time
killed. Geese are called green till they
are two or three months old Ducks
should be chosen by the feet, which
should be supple, and they should also
have plump and hard breast. The
feet of tame duck are yellowish, those
of wild one reddish. Pigeons should
be eaten while they are fresh; when they
look fabby and discolored about the
under part they hav. been kept too long
The feet, like those Of most poultry
show the age Of the bird; when they
are supple, it is young; when stiff it is
| old, Tame pigeons are larger than wild
| pi OeOns.
