Kitty's Christmas E~e.

And Santa Claus ont tonight
Even tho winds are happy,
Tossing tho flakes 30 whitc,
or the bosutiful, beautiful SNOW storm
Como quick to the window and see
KNOW yon arc only dolly,
But tbcn you can look with mo.
And we'll wonder II, up In heaven.
Tho angels have stockings TO, fll,
And whether good Santa Claus fills them,
As thoy lic, in their cribs SO still.
Do you think they use clouds for their pillows,
And, instead OF candle, star.7
lam sure would like to 60 up there,
II 1t wasn't so very far!
But papa and mamma would be lonely,
And Carlo, and Pussy, and you-
O, you dear, darling dolly, Icouldn't!
You're love in your mantle so new;
but then, you must take 1t of now, dear,
And lie in your snug little bed;
l will slip OF your pretty silk stockings,
AndhAng them right here at your head;
Then III go to tho chimney corner
And call mp to Santa o'.aus there,
To bring you nun, and bonnet,
And ribbon to tic in your hair,
tSingil
no sleep, sleep sleep, little dolly,
Santa Claus always is kind;
Sleep, sleep sleep, little dolly,
Santa Claus rides on the wind
Sleep sleep, sleep, little dolly.
Sleep till the black hours break;
Sleep, sleep, sleep, little dolly,
And never, till morning, wake"
There Two pulled tho wire Of her eyelids
And dolly Ia fast aslecp!
When Sauta C!aus comes In the nighttime
She won't even get 4 Peep;
But there Isn't n spring to my own eyes,
Nor wire for mamma To pull,
Nor bit Of need for my sleeping,
For tomorrow IL no more school.
So I'll jump into bed AID cover
My eyes which arc wide awake,
And when Santa Claus comes down the chimney
look at his things I'll take;
And thon II his face Is gentle,
And tho way is all clear and right,
I'll seal while he isn't thinking,
And kiss him with all my might.
But haven't yet prayed to tho Savior,
To ask him "my soul to keeps"
Yes, I'll pray but, instead Of ~ layme,"
Please don't lot me go to sleep!
For want to 500 Kriss with his candies,
And his pack that is full to the brim;
And I'm sure that my prayer will be answered,
10 I'll sing him my new Christmas hymn.
I'll sing 1t over and ovor,
To fill up tho long, long time,
Til hear the tramp OF tho reindeer,
And tho bells with their merry chime.
Oh, how could ever sleep through 1t,
And only OF Santa Claus dream?
But I'm tired, so I'll just begin It,
That dear htUe Christmas hymn.

THE OLD HONESTY.

In other days it was the rigid and
faithful performance of their contracts
which gave to the banks of Charleston,
South Carolina, Mobile, New Orleans,
Savannah and other cities of the South,
their enviab,e fame and credit through
out the Union. Some of these institu-
tions never failed to redeem their notes
on demand in gold and silver coin,
even in the midst of general temporary
suspensions OF specie payment-so
rooted were they an stubborn, old
fashioned integrity. This was not ouly
expedient, but it was right. 1t made
loans easy to be obtained, because they
wepeto be faithfully returned, and the
rate of interest teds tor, because the risk
Of lending icGs small
Nowhere in the wide world of COM
merce was strict business integrity
more rigidly insisted upon and more
honored than in the cities of Charles
ton, Savannah, Mobile and New Or
leans, when the real men of the South
ha9. contiol of affairs, and before the
days of carpet-bagging and military
interference. The time has again come
when the true men of the South
should, as | believe they can and will,
restore the old regime ofhigh personal
character, and at once speak, plainly
and sensihly as of yore in favor of
such policy of administration as shall
lead to the substitution of II sound
currency, convertible at the will of the
holder into gold or silver coin. Such
u policy announced by them will in.
stantly give confidence to those who
own capital or who control capital, and
we should witness the quick reward OF
such proofs of wisdom and sound pol
icy in the abundant supply of money
upon mortgage and other security, and

The Hon. Thomas +. Bayard, United
States Senator from Delaware, in COM
pliance with request, has addressed
an "open letter" to the editor OF the
Atlanta GA Herald, in which he dis
cusses at considerable length the ques-
ton Of national finance and currency.
Mr.. Bayard's prominent position i'm
parts to his utterances especial impor-
tance at the present time. Commenc
ing his argument with the declaration
that whatever by law is called money
the legalized currency of the country
is the basis 81 all public and private
contracts, and therefore of credit, be-
ing made hy law the equivalent for all
things purchasable. He declares that
"if this money contains in itself no
intrinsic value it cannot be used as a
standard by which to measure the value
of other commodities, and thus at once
fails in the highest attribute of money
because instability is its inherent and
necessary feature; instability is uncer,
tainty, and uncertainty is the fruitful
parent OF fraud and wrong He then
expresses himself as follows on the in
f1atiou heresy:

WHITTIER'S HATERHILL ODE.

The following is Mr.. Whittier's ode, su
the dedication of the public library in Haver
hill to music composed by J. B. Lang, ot
Dos ton,
LET there be light" God spoke OF old,
And over chaos dark AMI cold,
And. through the dead and formless frame
cf nature life and order came.
Faint was the light at first that shone
On giant fern and mastodon,
On half-fOrm ed plant and beast of prey.
And man as rude and wild as they
AGE after age like waves, oerran
The earth, uplifting brute and man;
And mind at ,ength, in symbols dark
It's meanings traced OH stone and bark.
On leaf OF palm, on sedge-wrought roll,
ON plastic clay and leather scroll,
Man wrote his thought; the ages passed,
And To- the Press was found at last,
Then dead souls woke; the thoughts OF men
hose bones were dust revived again;
The cloister's silence found a tongue,
Old prophets spake. old poets sung
And here, to day, the dead look down,
The kings OF mind again we crown;
We hear the sage's word; we trace
The foot prints of ouI human race
Here Greek and Roman find themselves
Alive along these crowded shelves;
And Shakespeare trcads again his stage,
And Chaucer paints anew his age.
As If some Pantheon's marbles broke
Their stony trance and lived and spoke,
Life thrills around the allowed hall,
The lords of thought await our call

EFPKcTs OF INFLATIoN.

The threat Of "inflation is,
of increasing the volume of irredeem-
able paper notes of the government,
and thereby necessarily decreasing the
value in greater ratio-produces
contraction" in the amount of loans,
because it lessons tho confidence which
induces men having money TO lend it,
Thus the intlationists have been all
along, and are now, the real foes of
those who wish to borrow money on
reasonable terms in order TO employ
the men who labor for their daily
bread.
We witness in the cities plethora
of currency, whicn the owners long to
invest-to lend upon intercst-but
which the insecurity produced by the
threat of initiation deters.
To-day money can be borrowed in
millions in New York at the rate of
three per cent. per annum "oA caI'
and secured by abundant collateral
hut it will not be lent on tiwc or per-
manently invested until the owners
are assured it will be faithfully repaid
undeprCciated in value. That condi-
ton secured, and the loan is easy.

DEAR SIR "A copy of your issue Of

seuce. Having been absent much since
and when here very fully occupied with
official duty, had put aside and forgot
zen the paper. Trusting it is not yet
too late TO comply with your request, I
would say that think there is nothing
inconsistent with the ordinary rules Of
parsing and grammatical analysis" in the
sentence, eve will send the Journal for
81 10, we preparing the postage" The
second 1--WE" is clearly nominatiye ahso-
Lutte, and "prepaying" relates or belongs
30 it. The fact that the second 1--WE" is
unnecessary does not appear to make it
ungrammatical. In the sentence, eve
will send the Journal and We will pre-
pay the POSTAGE" every word can be
parsed. The second clause of the latter
sentence is simply abridged in the for
mcr. In grammaticalPhalysis the abridg-
ment is Of course an Independent ele-
ment. Whether these sentences are rhe-
toricGtly in the most concise and elegant
form is another question and admits of
only one answer. Yet l think something
can be said for therepetlticn of the eve"
on the score OF emphasis.
have thus most cheerfu!ly complied
with your request, and only regret that
I did not respond in time for your last

1t gives nae pleasure to- see that you
devote considerable space every week to
school topics. The Telegraph" is well
come visitor on this account, as also for
its other good qualities. None of our
