The Day we Celebrate.

Did you ever think what q nice ar
rangement it is to have q Christmas
and New Years days break into the
dreariness of midwinter? 1t may tax
the pocket, but who does not receive an
hundred fold upon the investmentY
Smiles and good. humor, and joyous
looking eyes are contagious, and al
most before We are aware, the surli-
ness that care and anxiety begets has
vanished. Our pockets are filled with
toys, and our backs with evergreens
and we lie awake bordering with real
pleasure over the happiness that will
come to the little ones as they rise in
the early morning to gather in the
treasures which they have longed and
prayed for. A great many good, con.
scientious people feel it a duty to early
drive all the romance from the minds
Of the little ones, under the plea that it
is falsehood that we are teaching them.
There are more spirits in the air hoy
ering w happy homes than one
dreams Of in our philosophy. But we
only wanted to say that we like the
glad preparation for the Joyous holt
days. We look in upon the happy
groups as the light flows from the
windows, and we echo the wish that
the holidays may over be bright days
In our calendar; when old and young
a lay aside care and forget all sorrow
and join in the glad festivities.

THE English politicians have a very
small way about them whenthey UNDER
take to throw mud. An example is
afforded in the following extract from
a handful which was circulated extern
sively amongst the constituents of Mr..
Gladstone in Greenwich and Wool
witch:
"What is a free country to do with
traitorsY We do not wish, as OF old, to
cut of their heads ON Tower Hill, nor
hang, draw and quarter them, and bury
them at cross roads. With an execu-
tive 30 gentle, IL is the duty of the free
people Of England individually to boot
down traitors when they dare to show
their faces in public. Mr.. Gladstone is
a traitor to his queen, a traitor to his
county, n traitor to liberty, a traitor to
his party, a traitor to poor Greenwich
and a servant Of that pitiless and lying
despotism, Russia. People of Greenwich
and Woolwich meet outside the Ship
hotel, Greenwich, and follow to the
Skating Rink, Woolwich, and give the
~ungrateful traitor a good sound English
hooting.n
The purpose was to weaken the force
Of Gladstone's speeches against the
Afghan war, but the sch eme sadly
failed.

A NEW VENICE.


There is something poetic, IL not
practicable, In the suggestion to make q
second Venice Of New Orleans, by tear
ing down the dykes that protect the
city from the overflow of the Mississip-
pi and allow the river to surround it.
The idea was first urged because it
would make the city more healthy,
shutting out yellow fever and other
malarial diseases. An immense amount
Of money is annually expended upon
the levees and this expense would be
saved by adopting the plan. or course
the buildings would have to be raised
on enduring foundations. much as Chi
cago and some other cities we're once
raised out of the mud. This seems to
be the principal drawback, as immense
sums Of money would be required. But
commerce could be carried on better
than now, for boats could approach any
warehouse, desired and thus effect a
great saving in drayage. Internal
commerce could be carried on more
easily, for freight can be transported
cheaper and better by water than by
vehicles.
However, 1t is improbable that the
suggestion will ever be carried out.
Still it contains much novelty and one
relishes the thought of building a mod
ern Venice. The ancient Venice is
built on eighty small islands, and the
streets, or canals, are crossed by nearly
500 bridges. The city is nearly eight
miles In circumference and contains
about $4,000 houses. So that IL New
Orleans were ever flooded, it would
have many more miles of canals than
the world famed city of Italy.

IT SEEMS that King Humbert was
saved through a fortunate mistake in
etiquette. 1t will be recollected that
Signor Carroll, the italian premier, was
chiefly instrumental in preventing the
king from receiving at least serious
wounds. Describing the attack to his
colleagues, the other ministers, Carroll
gave q detail which has not been gen.
orally known. SIT was very fortunate
that in getting into the carriage 1 made
a mistake. Instead Of placing myself
opposite the queen a I should have
done, I sat opposite the king. After
the Garage had started, Ipointed out
to his majesty the mistake that I had
made made, and wished to change my
seat, but the king begged me not to do
it, but to stay where I was. II I had
not been opposite the king l should
not have been able to defend eficacious-
ly from the blows of the assassin, who
would probably have also attacked the
20 ung Prince Of Naples" The Prince
of Naples is the %prince-royal of Italy.
Carroll, Is will be remembered, was
severely wounded by the assassin.

hope that every noble horse may have a
better life beyond, and l hope that
every dog, or, at least some dogs may
have q little immortality.p This idea
Is not original with Mr.. Beecher, bat 1t
is surprising that he should advocate 1t.
A scientific mister wrote a book to
prove the Immortality of animals, and
DR.. Hodge, of Princeton, also believes
In a hereafter for deceased animals.
There are thousands of sceptics in the
country who a scarcely tolerate the
thought of Immortality for deceased
human beings, and the advocacy of a
heaven for every moving thing on earth
does but little to win them back to or

MARRIAGE viii henceforth be per-
mitted the priesthood by the sold Cath
olics'' Of Europe, but the privilege is
hedged about by somany restrictions as
to amount almost to prohibition. The
aspirant for o lady's hand must suffer
more red tape than a man after bust
ness in q Washington government de-
partment. First, the priest must con
suit the bishop as to the fitness of the
woman he desires to marry; the selec-
ton being approved by the bishop, the
priest then submits to a vote OF his con
gregation whether he shall marry. This
Is very severe on the prospective brides
OF the clergy, running two gauntlets.
As to taking a congregational vote
one must fancy that the discarded
spinsters would profit by the system to
ayenge their jealousy. This is a seri-
GUS drawback TO the system. Howev-
er, Q priest should be able to secure a
good wife under these regulations.
