Crooked Whisky Trial.

In the Mann whisky case day, T.
G. Hoag, IL member Of the late Grand
Jary, testified that Rhem had stated
to the jury that the defendant, Mum,
was not in the whisky ring g. L.
Burroughs also testified that Raem had
repeatedly told him that Mann had
nothing to do with the conspiracy. He
was on intimate terms with Rhem, as
his firm had paid him Rhem) $780,
900 for the privilege of running crooked
whisky. Witnesses, to prove the good
character of defendant, were then ex
amined, and the case rested. The ar
guments will begin to-day.

but think never opened through on
this line.
When we dined on our return home
ward, Frenchy step-daughter, of fif-
teen summers, or thereabouts, made
her appearance, barefoot and swift Of
speech, her tongue running with the
startling velocity of a swift shooting
meteor, with short dress, the text
ure of her hosiery suggesting that
clam-digging might be classed as sn
important industry of the new county.
So Mr.. Moore with merry twinkle,
dubbed her ''Nhite Stockings
We shall be found nearer home here
after.

For the Journal.
Ny Christmas.

I awoke with start from a droamless sleep,
And turned to the eastern sky,
Where lovely star with a stoadfast light,
Met thesearcoly conscious eye.
And thought at once Of the star in tho East,
That led the wise men on their way;
Ger Bethlehem plain till II stood DER the place,
Where the child and It's mother lay,
They worshiped with joy the lovely babe,
Presented Rim gifts rich and rare,
For they believed in their hearts that the promised
King,
Was the babe which was lying there
Glory 90 God in the highest, the shining sang,
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Savior is born who is Christ, the Lord,
lie will gather his people again,
Precious gifts, to a lost and sinful world,
From the Lord Of Life, Light, and Glory;
To live for US, TO die for US,
How sweet the ponderous story
At even-tide with burdened heart,
sought the sacred shrine;
My soul longed for words Of comfort and cheer,
Whispered by lips divine.
And my lips breathed plea for strength to bear,
The sorrows and trials, Of life,
For Faith to uphold; for Grace to endure
The worlds GOODNESS, and strife.
Sweet come the words TO the waiting SOUL
"Put thy trust and thy burdens on me
For will uphold theo my arm shall enfold thee,
My Grace is sufficient for thee"
