TOMMY, THE SOPRANO.
The Bad Beginning and Good End
ing of Little Car0l-Singer's
Christmas.

He was very small. Only ten years
old, and just as tall as the top of the
chancel rail. When he put on his
white robes and stood up to sing ne
looked like young angel with blue
eyes and very bright brown hair. He
had no wings. This some people
thought a pity. 1t was not, for then
be might have flown away. Besides,
a clever boy is better than two angels
in picture book.
On this particular morning he had
no white robe, and he did not feel
much like singing 1t was cold and
stormy out of doors, and one couldn t
be quite sure whether it was night or
morning. The clock on the wall said
five minutes past eleven, but that was
a mistake. The clock had stopped.
And the fire was out, and the water
had frozen in the teakettle, and the
cat was dead. Poor old blind pussy !
She had just died. Tommy looked
at the cold stove He looked at the
heavy frost on the windows. He look
ed at his hands red with the cold, and
he wondered what would happen next
Far away over the snowy house-tops
came the sound Of bells. The chimes!
How merrily they rang He listened
to the jang ling music. Such queer
old song Tommy took up the tune
and sung softly:

away again in her sleigh, This time
the organist was at home. and then
and there explained to Tommy how
selfish the church people had been in
refusing to pay him anything for sing
ing so long. and that now it was all
changed, and he was to be first So
prano in the boys choir at ST. Mary S,
and that they would pay hlm a fine
salary, and that he was to sing at
morning service every day in the year.
He even paid Tommy a part of the
salary in advance, that he might help
his mother.
Then they went to the piano and
lang Christmas carols-''The Manger
Throne," Il Saw Three Ships" 1.-The
Holly and Ivy, aud many others quite
as beautiful Then they told Tommy
how in England on Christmas day the
children dressed ia thick shoes and
warm clothing, go from house to house
and stand out in the snow singing
carols, and how the good people open
their doors and invite them in to par
take of good cheer. Last of all, Tom
my started to walk home alone. He
had not gone far before the bells In
ST. Mary y's-his church now--began
to chime, and, with happy heart, he
sang alond with them:
God rest you, merry gentlemen"
Then he turned hack softly till he
came to the good organist's house,
and there, all alone in the snowy street,
he sang good old Christmas carol,
for his heart was full OF peace and
gratitude.
"God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress too,
And all the little children
That round the table go.
And all your kin and kinfolk
That dwell both far and near,
/ wish you merry christmas
And happy new year"
And the. people in the houses round
about heard the music in their dreams
and said:
clark! The angles are singing !"
But the watchman in his big coat
knew it was only Tommy, the soprahd.

WOMAN LIKE.

Only poetical woman, with grateful recolIections
of sweet sixteen, could have written these lines:
"I'll scream If you touch me.'
Exclaimed pert miss,
Whose lover was seeking
An innocent kiss.
BY this prudish conduct
Cold water was thrown
The lover drew backward
And-let her alonei
''rll scream if you touch me!'
She hollered once more.
She cried, I'm not near your,
And found it bore.
She quickly subsidized,
Grew tender to view,
And whispered quite softly:
'.I'll scream till you do!'

GRUNEWALD HALL.
j. l.. GUBERNATOR, President.
NJ. BENNEK, Cashie

This institution refers to It's semi annual led
statement as to its liabilities and the character OF
ito investments and assets; to it's unparalleled
growth and popularity. and as to the confdenc OF
the community in its management.
While thousands have been benefited and an.
preciated our liberality, there still vast mum.
bers of the laboring classes who have not yet &C.
quired full understanding and appreci q ton OF
the advanta ges of a savings bank. Many such per.
sons pass through life without reaching the idea
that their savings may be made to earn money for
them as readily their labor. Others are too tmid
to trust their earning to any one but ,hems elves
They keep their money at their homes, where it
becomes odestone to burglars or, if overlook ed
by them, is destroyed by fire.
Considering, then, that the main point in select
ing safe depository for your money is not in q
high rate of interest, but IN the SECURITY OF
THk PRINCIPAL, we do not hesitate to cav that
the Citizens Savings Bank offers supe rior induce.
ments to the prudent investor.
l. 1t is exclusively SAVINGS BANK. 1t does
not discount commercial paper or transac ct gen.
eral banking business.
2. 1t confines Itself strictly to the receipt and
care of small savings, and pays six per cent inter-
est from the date of deposit.
g. It's investments and loans are restricted by
its charter to mortgage on improved property in
the city Of New Orleans; stocks and bonds of cor.
poratioDs within the State, and United States
bonds. Loans are never made on names alone,
4. In addition to its capital, it has q reserve
fund OF sufficient amount to protect and pay its
depostors at all times
5. detailed statement of assets and liabilities
is at all times accessible to deposltors. Thus each
one can see what use is being made of his or her
money.
b. Married WON en- and minors can deposit money
IN their own names. and it can be drawn out by
themselves only Such deposits can not be con.
trolled by husbands, parents or tutors.

DUB SECOND PUNIC WAR.

We have said that a single war settles
nothing either in domestic or foreign
policy. The White Liners refuse to be
bound by the results of the war, to which
they appealed. They demand that the
question of State sovereignty shall be
tried again within the Union. What are
the proofs? The absorption of all dis
sent under the name OF Democracy; the
election of the 1851 men who fought
against us in the war; the reassertion of
State sovereignty, with the demanded
eviction Of the Republicans for having
wasted the national money in saving the
Union, have united the whole Democratic
South. The inevitable effect of reviving
one army has been to reorganize the other.
The soldiers of the Union are indignant
at this violation of amnesty. They ex-
pect a new summons to the field. The
capitalists fear another disturbance of in
vestments. The enfranchised negroes ap-
prehend the execution Of the pledge given
by Blair, the Democratic candidate for the
vice presidency, that the amendments of
the constitution and laws passed thereun-
der should be declared "null and void" in
the event of Democratic success They
are also satisfied that in such an event
the labor laws of 1866 will be re-enacted,
with such conditions of suffrage as will
disqualify the colored voters from exercis.
ing the right of an equal vote. We have,
then, the camp fires blazing all along the
line of Mason and Dixon. If any one
does not think so he can not have read
the debates of the late Congress. Not a
