The night is spent; and as the day
Throws up the first faint flash of gray,
The guests pursue their homeward way;
And through the field beyond the gin,
Just as the stars are going in,
See Santa Claus Misunderstanding

His work is done-he fain would rest
Where people know and love him best
He -listens-looks about
But go he must: his pass Il ont

He climbs the fence and disappears,

When merry Christmas-day is done,
And Christmas-night is just begun;
While clouds in slow procession DRIFT
To wish the moon-man christmas gift
Yet Iinger overhead, to know
What causes all the stir below;
At Uncle Johnny Booker's ball
The darkeys hold high carnival.
From all the countryside they throng,
with laughter, shouts, and scraps of song
Their whole department plainly showing
That to THE FRoLIc they are going.
Some take the path with shoes in hand,
To traverse muddy bottom-land;
Aristocrats their steeds bestride-
Four ON a mule, behold them ridel
And ten great oxen draw apace
The wagon from "de oder place"
with forty guests, whose conversation
Betokers glad anticipation.
Not SO with him who drives: old jim
Is sagely solemn, hard and grim,
And frolies have no joys for him.
He seldom speaks, but to condemn
Or utter some wise apothegm-
Or else. some grabbed thought pursuing
Talk to his team, as now he's doing:
Come up heah, Star! Yee-bawee!

For hommerin an kickin'.

CITATION

On Saturday last, the.New Paris
Teachers Association met in the
school building at that place, and
the following were the exercises OF
the day:
l. Music"
2. "Arithmetic'-M. D. Tyrrell.
8. "Analysis"--J. G. Myers.
4. discussion of Analysis" Prof.
F. M. DeMott.
5. "Music."
6. "Methods of conducting read
ing'-Prof. F. NJ. DeMott.
7. Popular Education"-L. D.
Brown.
s. discussion of Popular Educa-
toni. P. Shideler.
9. "Education"-Dr. Braffett.
10. "Geology"-Dr. Gish.
IL. "Music."
At the close of these exercises the
teachers were SO enthusiastic that
they decided to hold an evening ses-
sion. This was held in one of the
churches, and a large. number OF
teachers and citizens were well en-
tertained by Messrs. j. A. Price,
Mills, L. D. Brown, L. P. Shideler
and J.. L. Braffett. This was I'M
doubtedly one among the best Asso,
Citations that has ever been held in
the county, and it is to be hoped that
the teachers throughout the whole
county will follow the example OF
their fellow-workers in Jefferson,
Monroe and Harrison townships.
