having a Gear record for personal honesty
ana ability, and withal, opposed to the inila-
ton hcresics, which lost TO the Democrats

this fall. The friends of Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, now come forward and declare
most positively that lie has been Il hard

ST. NICHOLAS FOR DECEMBER has for its from.
tispiecc an entirely original and most charming
portrait of Hans Christian Andersen, surround
cd by several of the representative creations of
his fancy, which are set forth with almost as
much dclicacy as in his own word-pictures. 1t
is emnently fitting, that so perfect picture
should be made to illustrate an article us per-
feet and that it does so in this case can hardly
be denied. No writer in this country is better
qualified to tell of Hans Christian Andersen than
Mr.. Boyesen, the Norwegian novelist and the
author of the article in the December number
81. Nicholas. This contribution, indeed, is 4
mortal of the children's poet, and is full of bio
graphical anecdotes, given in an entertaining
manner.
OF the other contributions to the number, per-
haps the most noticeable are H. HIS poem of
The Legend of ST. Nicholas, with its exquisite
illustration; the article Something About Rail-
roads, and giving details of the history, con-
struction and manage ment of tho railway; and
the long contribution on One Hundred Christ
mas Presents, and How TO Make Them.
As for other attractions Mr. Brooks serial
The Boy Em!grants, grows in interest and pow
er as We make our slow advance with the bows
across the Western prarics; Sandy the lIunch
back, gives lis a change OF air, and pathetic
picture of poor, MANNED boys life among the
braes of Scotland; even farther still we 30 to

of st. Nicholas Day in Germany and on our
return we stop just short Of our native shores
to meet Mr.. Trowbrldge's sporting characters
Joe and Bonwig, and experience the delight OF

Frank and the Toad, n novel mock-tlial, and
the poem of Dead Doll are sure to bring
laugh with them; and Mrs Dodge has one of
her charming rhymes, with amarvelously beat
tiful illustration by Miss Hallock.
To simply glance through the Decembcrnwn
Der of ST. Nicholas is at least to confess that new
cr before has literature for children reached SO

GoRDoN's Foop OUGHT TO BE USED ALL THE
YEAR RoUND.-Ilaving had numerous inquiries
on this subject, we investigated the matter and
find the continuous use is beneficial and not in.
furious as some people inldgae. Although it
puts animals in better condition. and has been
of great service throughout the country in ward.
ing off the Epizootic, it can no more be classed
as medicine than we can consider oatmeal
porridge stimulating drug. The materials
composing Gordon's Food are entirely yereta-
bic, and are varied TO suit the seasons of the
year. Consequently, the Food, although pre-.
scnting similar appearance all the year round
is varied to suit the climatic changes. Thus, in
spring, the food is equal TO tie fresh, budding
grass; in the hot summer months it contains
more strengthening and inyigorating properties
to enable the animals to bear up vigorously un-
der the pressure of the enervating atmosphere
In autumn and winter the food possesses fine
carmInatiye properties necessary for perfect
health during the cold weather The Gordnns
have been in this animal food business for twrn
ty years, and they have been known in Eurone
as agricultural chemists for nearly n crulurv
therefore, they know all the requirements nee.
O. sary for II perfect food. Mr.. Gerald Gordon
us this knowledge of agricultural chemistry is
the reason of their success over all competition.
for did they, like all others, simply follow some
formula, the desired change in the diet of the
animals would not be accomplished, and the
food could not be used all the year round. This
explanation and theory are reasonable, and we
are assured it has proved correct in this city by
the indorsation of our leading horse owners
