The uarpers' Publications.

In another place will be found the pro
spectuses of three of the publications by
the Harpers. They are too well and
generally known to need any commend,
alton from any quarter, but if any fam
lily neglects to have one or all of them
they will certainly lose very greatly
more than they will save. They are in
valuable as educators in the family, es-
pecially the magazine and the illustrated
Weekly. The first December number OF
the next volume of the magazine, is al
ready on our table, and though always
good. this numbers unusually so, wheth-
err in the articles on humor, Windsor Cas-
tie, Queen Mary, or any of the other
articles. The article on Queen Mary
embraces period of English history
not long after Henry VIII, and is very
interesting, though, in this age, it must
excite Indignation, as it covers sharp
era during the burning period, when pri-
Vate conscience was not allowed ana
much less religious liberation. Harper S
Magazine long since earned the reputa-
ton Of being the best family magazine
in America,
The Illustrated Weekly is most ex-
cellent newspaper of the times, sound on
the public questions of the day, and OF
high literary excellence. Its political
illustrations by Mast have never been
rivaled, and its other illustrations are OF
the best in the pictorial art. The Bazaar
fills another department in the fashion
and literary world and has always been
received with popular favor, and those
who may take any one or all Of these
publications for 1876, cannot fail to be
satisfied and repaid many times over.

while in the Capitol, and though he raj
lied from Friday to Monday, he was
not so well Tuesday from reading and

dictated letters. He still remains in
the Vice Presidents room and though he
is likely to recover somewhat it seems
improbable that he will ever again attend
to the active duties of public life. The

been quite general, and already brought
out many expressions of regard for him

A Timely story.


edge the other day which. at this tint
may be worth the telling, Just aftel
the holidays, in 1873, a physician in one
of the large cities, while making hi
daily rounds, gave description to on'
of his patients of the almshouse which
he had visited that day, especially dwell
ling upon the pitiable sight of SO many
children to whom Christmas has not
been even a name, but had passed in al
the dull misery Of other days. The la
dy to whom he spoke was a hopeless in
valid, unable for years TO leave her
bed she was straitened, too in means
But, hearing the story, she determined
that the next Christmas should bring a
little pleasure to at least some of these
little ones whom Society had thrust out
of the pale even at their birth. She
had that inevitable storehouse in every
family, the "piece bag" brought and
emptied on her bed, and began to make
rag. babies, knitted mittens, balls, etc
etc = the thousand inexpensive trihes
which required only labor and patience
to make them precious to any child.
She had whole year in which to work /;
her courage and zeal grew with every
day her friends became interested and
brought in their contribution of velvet,
cloth, yarn, etc. When she had pro-
vided some little gift for each of the
children, she began to 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, anoth-
er comfortable Undertaking, an old
lady, a knitted jacket, her son collec-
ton of pipes, one housekeeper pile of
chromos and old prints, another a car
load of old magazines, until by Christ
mas, although the almshouse has as
many inhabitants as a fourishing town,
there was not one for whom this woman
had not little gift. When the day
came it was observed as holiday, the
keepers making an effort to bring the
wards into condition of unusual clean
illness and to provide a dinner better
than the ordinary fare. The Christmas
presents were given from the unseen
friend, she lying in the faroff little
room which she was never to leave
alive; and with each gift was some
message of Christian kindness which
told of Him who was born on that day
and Of His errand here.
All this happened last Christmas, and
was the work Of one crippled poor wo-
man. The birthday of Christ is coming
again, and in every town there is an
almhouse, asylum, or Jail filled with the
miserable, the guilty, the poor-the very
class to whom He came first and in
every one of these towns there are com
munities of men and woman who pro-
tess to follow Him When one woman
can do so much to give significance to
His birth to thousands of these His
brethren, what may not these comuni-
ties do? Christians, as rule, do not
visit the prisons or almshouses. What
if they made Christmas day an excep-
ton to their usual neglect? Let them
go, not with stern rebuke or tedious
sermons, but with some cheerful, tangi-
BILE, live remembrance of their Master
which will gladden. and soften the hearts
of those who know God only through
the hard justice of men.-N. Y Tri-
