CHRISTMAS DOINGE.
BY FRANCIS T. PATTON.

BY FRANCIS T. PATTON.
Dear Jack, you missed the grandest time
Of ali the Christmas games and capers!
wish had your knack at rhyme,
I'd write poem for the papers.
When got home-the stage was late
The house was damned from sill to rafter,
And two big sleigh loads at the gate
Were bursting out with shouts and laughter.
You'd thought the old floor-beams would crack,
With neighbors, uncles, aunts and cousins,
And how was l and how was Jack
We're questions pouring in in dozens.
The parson melted down and grew
As red and jolly as pagan
laughed till I thought "a break in two
To watch him playing Copenhagen.
To see him try to dart around,
The girls a-screamng like the nation;
You'd wished you weighedthree hundred pound
And had just such congregation.
And when we'd finished roll-the-plate
And held the forfeits for the kissing,
We found, as am bound to state,
That nearly half the girls were missing
And not whisper could we hear;
We searched the house all through to find
them;
Then tried the shed. Like St rtled deer
They broke, with all the boys behind them.
And such racing down the path,
Such tumbiing IN the snow and yelling!
And down my neck got bath
That makes me shiver at the telling
Che girls were spry as cats. More fun!
You talk Of balls and all that folly =
They came in painting, one by one
And reds the berries on the holly.
Somebody'd brought some mistletoe,
And face to face we all marched under
But when we stopped in double row
found that fate had made blunder.
You'll guess who twas I CHANGED upon
So shy at first scarce could hold her
But when whispered, "Play it's John"
She blu. hed-hey, Jack down to her shout
der.
When supper came there was g. race
The couples, fast as they were able,
flushed arm. ln-arm to find place
To stand, around the loaded table.
Each pretty girl was served in state.
And never wished the space was wider
With cheeks like apples on the plate
And eyes that sparkled like the cider.
No Christmas guest there felt the lack
OF French Corrections from the baker;
For on the pantry shelves, he'd back,
We're pumpkin pies, Jack, by the acre.
The supper done, the parson went
And Jerry gave us some selections.
The furniture knew what it meant,
And hurried out in all direcli ms.
We danced until so warm it grew .
My collar got as limp as water;
The hampers joggled open, too,
At every set, and made it hotter.
Then out it went. Each gave lift.
The pipe was down in half minute
The next twas sizzling in drift,
With pots and pans and covers in it.
Then Jerry's fiddle warmed itself;
We beat the floor and shook the sashes =
The holly on the parlor shelf
Fell off and tunbled in the ashes.
But time, Jack for no mortal stays.
At two O'clock or little lacking,
The girls were muffled in the sleIghs,
And soon the whips and JOKES went cracking.
The bells shook out their pleasant tri,ls,
The same as, half an hour after
I heard them on the crests Of hills
Or missed them in the bursts Of laughter.

TRAVJ,ERS, SHEITER

TRAvLERs' SHELTER. A new
institution has been opened in New
York. The purpose of this institu
ton is to furnish cheap shelter for
poor men. 1t has not the cOnven
fences of a respectable stable. 1t is
a lodging house on cheap scale.
Admission to the building is ten
cents. This includes warmth from
the stove and spot on the floor on
which to lie down. The lOdger pays
his ten cents, has spot assigned
him, takes of his shoes and stock,
ings, puts them by the stove, spreads
a piece of paper on the floor, uses
his coat for a pillow and goes to
sleep. There he can rest from six
o'clock in the evening till seven in
the morning, when he must turn out
and clear out. A few jute bags are
kept, which the lodger can have by
paying ten cents extra. A few
benches run around the room, ana
for five cents more the lOdger can
sleep on one Of these. Newspapers,
water, soap, towel, brushes, razors,
needles, thread and a cup of coffee
in the morning complete the enter
tainment, and "all for ten cents"
The ingenious proprietor of this con-
Germ is making money. The floors
are crowded every night.

"Excelsior Association" a literary
society organized in Manchester, N.
H., in 1858, and which f1Ourished
until the war broke out, when 81
out of 33 active members enlisted
and the meetings were discontinued.
The reunion will take place on the
14th Of April, at Manchester. In
the afternoon meeting will be held
when an address will be delivered
by the president of the day, follow
ed by an historical address, a poem,

NATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
SECTIONS. The idea inculcated by
some Western politicians that the
great bulk of the national money
laid out OH internal improvements
has been expended at and for the
benefit of the East, is far from being
correct. From the adoption of the
Constitution to June, 1873, the sum
of $32, $3.50, $40 was expended for the
improvement of rivers and harbors.
The Western rivers secured SILL
ABS, 300; the Northern lakes $40, 49,
1853, and the Atlantic coast $685.
l73. This shows pretty even di-
vision and no cause for complaint.
The nearly twenty-six millions, also,
which have been laid out on Wash
ington city, were for the whole
country. In the matter of marine
hospitals and lighthouses, it will
surprise most persons to learn that
the largest sum expended in any
one State has gone to Mich gan, and
the next to Louisiana-the former
being $1,S79,3S0, and the latter
81, 6O2 ,543 Louisiana, also, stands
second in the list for sums expend-
ed for custom houses, court.houses,
and post-offices having taken there
for $3,806,G78. Even South Caro-
lima, so jealous, under it's old regime,
of Federal interference, stands fourth
in the list. The business Importance
and the revenues of these States
contrast singularly with several of
those of the Northeast which have
had less money from the Treasury.

The agricultural wind mill ut St.
Johnsbury still seeks to look wise
over the "gag.law" business. II sug.
gests that the Post "suppOrted Pc.
land in our late congressional elec.
ton and consequently found 1t nee.
essary to coincide with the judges
view of the law" which is very
pretty talk if you are brought up
on that plan, and goes on with y
yarn to the effect that the reports OF
congressional committees on the
scope of the law is not conclusive,
and that there is now u suit on the
docket which will bring the matter
to a decision by court of justice,
which kind of decision is the only
means of finally settling the ques'
ton.
Now, we rather enjoy the novelty
of saying that the Farmer, in its
general position, is right, but il may
also be borne in mind that the re-
port of the committee, if not abso.
lutely final, is nevertheless the best
there is. 1t is simply an expression
of opinion by some of the best law
yers in the country. They may be
wrong, and the courts may so de-
termine, but in view of the fact
that every opinion and every au
thority yet produced which is worth
Il single straw comedies with the
committee and with Judge Poland,
such a dispenSa'iOn seems rather
improbable. The organs which so
vehemently insisted upon the wick.
edness of the law somehow never
found time to discuss it at all, al
though the other side Of the ques-
ton was repeatedly urged in detail.
No lawyer, even, has yet been found
to express his belief that the law
would operate as was claimed, and
the noise about the matter can on
ly be accounted for by assembling it
to campaign insanity.-POst.

WHEELER OF the Farmer thinks
that We did him great Injustice by
something we wrote last week, and
requests us to publish the following
extracts:
Judge Poland in the role of a
patriot subjected to persecution by
u republican administration for
"speaking right out In meeting" and
saying what he believes, is an I'M.
expected spectacle, but such ap.
pears to b. his position, greatly to
his credit be it spoken.-Farmer,
Feb. 10.
Judge Poland stands firm and It
any action is taken by the House he
is sure of being observation-disclosures,
Feb. 10.
Go in, Judge. Make it warm for
'em. You've got the people on
your side, we reckon, this time.-
Farmer, Feb. 20.
Judge Poland. instead of doing
the worst he knows how, because
he won't be q member of the next
congress and don't care whether
school keeps or not, surprises every
body by his remarkably good he
haviOr.-Farmer, March 8.
Judge PoIand's Arkansas report
was adopted by the House, Tues
day, against strong opposition. The
Judge is reported as having deliver
ed "rhe ablcst speech he ever made
in Congress-" on this bill. This was
carried, it will be remembered,
against the minority report, against
the recommendations Of the PreSi-
dent in his special message, and af
ter the passage Of the force bill,
and il was passed by vote of l49
to SO.-Farn,er, March 5.
If, taken as whole, the above do
not "damn with faint praise" we
ask his attention to the following
which we clip from his paper Of the
10Th inst.
just as soon as we get ''big
brave, much fight" with lots of
scalps dangling at his belt, in full
dress Of victorious war paint, some.
body has to step is and throw cold
water on the hero business. Now
comes a story that Judge Poland
found several months ago that both
Edmunds and Adds were working
against him, and that Adds was
morally certain of the judgeship,
and that the Judges supreme indif-
ference to the judgeship was a re-
markably clear case of sour grapes.
1t seems the judge had HObson's
choice, q measure of popularity or
nothing, and chose the former. Who
blameS him 7"
1t is evident that the Farmer man
has been determined not to give
Judge Poland credit for anything
done. But as the Judge is spoken
favorably Of now by some of the
independent press, the "agricultur.
al windmill'' will set it's sails in the
same direction.

THE PRICES OF DAIRY PROD

THE PRICES OF DAIRY PROD
UCTs. The Ne,0 England Farmer
copies paragraph from a recent is.
sue of The Journal concerning dairy
products and their prices, which con-
tanned all intimatiOn of a probable
decline. The Farmer takes more
hopeful view of the prospect and
urges it's readers simply to strive to
attain higher 'ade in the quality
of these products, although it does
not recommend them to hold on for
higher prices. The paragraph in
Tha Journal was based on "a circu-
lar issued 10y a leading produce firm
in New York, and upon certain plain
statements in the New York Bulle-
tin concerning the course of the
market. While there is no question
ing the authority of the Farmer that
there has been a marked improve
ment in the quality of butter and
cheese during the last few years,
.iustifying in some measure the adj
vance in prices, it appears to be as
equally beyond question that the
present prices are out of proportion
to the cost of other necessaries of
life, and that the inevitable result is
to diminish the demand while the
supply continues to increase. Ac-
cordingly we are inclined to believe
that these products must share the
decline which has Overtaken all 9th
err commodities, and that a slight
letting down in the prices would
benefit the producer as we'll as the
by stimulating the de-
mand and making the market more
active. At the same time there is
to doubt that the best grades of
these articles will always command
handsome prices.-BOstOn Journal.
