father Of his country 2 Upon the
falling Of these words, delivered i'm
presslvely, the audience from pit to

shouting, the clapping of hands and
stamping OF feet shook the building.
These plaudits continued for some
time, and wound up with three hear

WELCOME CHRISTMAS GIFTs.-The usual prac-
tce in choosing Christmas gifts is to start out
with full porte monniae and come home with
it empty, having secured dozen book print
and curio shops meantime, to "fnd enough
pretty things to go round" The gift sent to
one friend might have been offered with equal
propriety to hundred others. Now everybody
(worth remembering at all on Christmas day
has a fancy, or whim, or association, which
triae will recall and crafty. Now that we
have so little money, let US set our brains to
work to remember these whims or hobbies, and
to find the suggestive trifes, and, eur word for
it, we will startle our friends with more real
pleasure than if we had sent them the costllest
unmeaning gift. There must be nice dss-
| elimination, too, in asserting these trihes.-
There are certain folk whom we know to be
| sorely in need of articles for the wardrobe, ana
to whom we must therefore give utterly useless
follies, because they know that we know it; and
| there are other and better folk in like condi-
ton who will receive collar or pair OF gloves
with as hearty and sincere feeling as though
the offering were a strain of Christmas music
There is one cousin whose gift must smell o.

other who, if we sent her our worn copy oil deo

ORIGIN OF THE TERM BROTHER JoNATHAN.-The
story of the origin of the above term, as related
many years ago, to the editor Of the Noraoich
Courier, by gentleman over eighty years of
age, who was On active participator in the
scenes of the Revolution, is. as follows:
"When General Washington, after being ap-
pointed commander of the army of the Revolu-

toe country, he found great want OF ammu-
,,ition and other means necessary to meet the
powerful foe he had TO contend with, and great
di Aiculty to obtain them. If attacked IN such
condition, the cause at once might be hopeless.
On one occasion, at that anxious period, con-
sultation of the officers and others was held
when it seemed no way could be devised TO
make such preparation as was necessary his
Excellency, Jonathan Trumbull, the elder, was
then Governor of the State of Connecticut, on
whose judgment and aid tho General placed
the greatest reliance, and remarked, we must
consult Brother Jonathan on the subject. Inc
General did 50, and the Governor was success
full in supplying many Of the wants oil the
army. When difficulties afterwards arose.
and the army was spread over the country II

So shyly charming. Was there e'er
So lovable a child?

So naughty and so good;
Who asks the a0hy of everything,
And just believes she could

If would let her go.
