GIFT GIvING.-The beautiful custom
of Christmas gifts had its origin in the
Roman Paganaiia, which was instituted
by Servius Tullius, B. G. $50. On these
festivals, celebrated at the beginning Of
the year, an altar was erected in every
village, aud 20 the box placed upon 10
every man, woman, and child was eX-
pected to contribute a coin. Aubrey
speaks of a spot in which Roman coins
were found, and supposed 70 be one Of
these Paganalian vessels. The Christ
mas box naturally rose from this pagan
New Years box. There Is an impress
i've propriety and tender beauty now
ever, in thus eOmmemoratlng the event
which gave a Divine Redeemer 70 a Ios1
world-the greatest gift that is conceiv-
able to mankind.

A hhlEf SKETCH OF THE r.rFr OF . ,,or,7srr.
WOMAN.

7@hicH OF THE IIFE OF A NorABIE
WOMAN.
The public are aware that for como
Gays past DR.. Mary Walker bes Lea,,

Is very probable that this nofsbIe
woman Is rapidly drawing near her end
and, unless an medical DraJictio,-,
prove false, she viii IN a few DAYS Ls
where unkind sayings and thoughtlass
pen-thrusts Will have no power to cansa
her pain.
The subject Of this sketch has acouirad
an almost national reputation. and Vet
the circumstances connected with her
checbered career are known to compar-
atively few persons. DR.. Mary Walker
was born about the year 1880, i'm Os-
wego, New York. Her parents were
the best Of people, who looked upon
their daughter not as a wayward, but as
a peculiar girl. Mary was a superior
scholar, and made good use of the few
opportunities afforded her. She is q
regular graduate iu or eiicine, although
many have believed that medically She
was an impOstOr Quite early in life
she married a DR.. Miller but the match
was an unfortunate one. She detested
alcohol in all its forms, while he was
fond OF it, aud besides, she believed that
he was not true to her. About twelve
years ago she tried to obtain a divorce,
out be successfully resisted and defeated
her on the ground that he had always
been ready and willing TO live with her,
but that she deserted him without
cause. When the war broke out, Mary
espOused the side of her section with
her whole soul. At one time she had
charge of a United States hospital i'm
either Kentucky or Tennessee. She
was captured and confined in Libby
prison four months. The COnfederates
believed her to be a spy and treated her
harshly, but her unbending will never
yielded. When they learned her true
status in the United States army she
was liberated. She came 10 Washing
ton at the fall of Richmond. OF her
personal ecceutricities, Mary Walker is
known particularly for the astonishing
tenaclty she has exhibited on the sub
Ject OF dress. 1t may be that she is par
tally insane, but no person ever lived
VINO had purer OF kinder heart. AT
the time Of the hanging of Mrs Surratt,
The Doctor made repeated and successful
efforts 20 obtain permission to witness
the scene. This curiosity may OF may
not have arisen from a morbid desire to
see woman suffer the death penalty,
but Is nevertheless a stain upon her
otherwise fair reputation.

A fine piece of feminine strategy
comes to-us-well, no matter where; it
is authentic, and that is sufficient: A
husband desired To attend ball without
taking his wife. She protested against
his going, but go he would. Before he
dressed, however, she slyly took his
Sunday y-gO-tO-meetin' pantalOous and
put some cayenne pepper along the in
side seams Of them. He donued them
and went forth where youth and
beauty met. He had secured part
ner aud had cut about three pigeon
wings i'm aquadrille when he began to
look wild and serious, and, at the con-
clusion of the set, he set out for home
at a gait that was half trOt and half can
can. 10 seems to have beaten old Saint
Nitus' dance all hollow. He never
knew just what allied him, but probably
that woman will hear few remarks
when he reads these few liues.-Mddj-

The st. Louis papers tell a marvellous
story OF q merchant there named Hetb.
In making out bill one day, he wrote,
20 his astOni-hmeut, "Go aud see Mrs
Smith, on Franklin street, near the
brewery" Heth didn't know what il
meant. He cast the bill-head aside,
aud again began to make out a bill for
a quantity OF flour TO be sent to Kansas.
Again he wrote and could not help IL,
$50 and see Mrs. smith, He felt sick
and alarmed, and told his partner that
he couldn't control his hand when he
attempted TO write. Finally il was con-
cluded that he should take a hunt for
Mrs. Smith. He soon found her in an
upper story, "next to the brewery"
She was on the floor, nearly dead oi
starvation. Heth lost no time in get
ting her some food and reviving her.
Now his hand runs without his control,
and q good many surprising things are
written. Heth has yielded 10 splrituai-
istic doctrine, and lets his hand write
whatever it chooses. The 81. Louis pa

Professor Tyndall thoroughly de-
nouuces the doctrine Of spontaneous
generation. In recent lecture on this
subject he says: "I here affirm that no
shred OF trustworthy detrimental testi-
mony exists to prove that life, in our
day, has ever appeared independently
Of antecedent life" This position is no
help TO the materialists. Their only
way Of avoiding Divine Creator is by
having things Spontaneous" Until
they can develop some theory for the
origin Of life, they have nothing that
can impinge against the doctrines Of
ChTistianitY.

Mrs. Clara Neymann, of New York,
was one of the speakers at the anni-
versary meeting OF the Free Religious
Association recently. She reiOiced in
every literal convention aud gathering,
because d. showed jhe world that liber-
ais were no longer in the background,
but were up and doing. She mentioned
as reasons why more women We're not
connected with the free religious move
ment, that in the past their education,
especially iu the classes which broadened
the range Of thought, had 'been neg
lected; that they had received much
recognition in the church; that the
most intelligent women were engaged
in another direction iu obtaining the
political and other rights Of the sex. In
this connection she remarked that indie
peudence and freedom in religion and
independent citizenship for women
were intimately related to each other.
Another reason why more women were
not connected with the movement was
because they were afraid of injuring
their own peculiar cause. Mrs. Ney-
mann then spoke for this peculiar cause,
making lOrcible Woman Suffrage adj
dress. She afterward spoke strongly fOI
