The mystictoe hung in the castle hail.
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall;
The baron's retainers were blithe and gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
The baron beheld, with a fathers pride,
His beautiful child, young LOveli's bride;
While she, with her bright eyes. seemed 20 be
The star Of the goodly company.
"I'm weary Of dancing, now" she cried;
''Hcre, larry q momeBt-lH hide, I'Il hide!
And, Lowell, be sure thou'st first to trace
The clue to my secret lurking place"
Away she ran-and her friends began 49,
Each tower 70 search. and each nook to scan
And ysGng LoVel cried, 20 where dost thou
I'm. Lonesome without thee, my own dear
brideI"
They sought her that night, and they sought
And they sought her In vain when week
passed aWayl
In the highest, the lowest, ioneliest spot,
Young Lowell sought wildly but found her
not,
And years few by. and their grief at last
Was told as sorrowfAl tale long past;
And when Lowell appeared the children cried
''Seel the old man weeps for his fairy bride"
At length an old chest, that had long lain hid,
Was found in the castle. They raised the lid,
And a skeleton form lay mouldering there
In the bridal wreath Of that lady faIri
o sad was her fate-in sporttve jest
She hid from her lord in the old oak chest;
IL closed with q spring, and dreadful doOmi
The bride lay clasped in her living tomb.

Boston Traveller.

Political change in the condition of
the country is visible in the prospective
complexion of the Senate of the United
States. 1t has. for years been RepubIi-
can; the next senate will be Democratic
1t is of the highest importance to the
Republicans not only to retain as many
senators as possible, but to place in po-
sition men of experience, ability and
influence. Kansas is one of the historic
and leading states, needing continuous
senatorial representation. There is no
doubt of its Republican integrity; it is
irreclaimably fixed in that position, hav-
ing attained it by a baptism in blood,
and its representation in the senate
should be sound and solid. The term
of Senator Ingalls, expires with the pres
emit session, and another election is soon
to follow. From present appearances it
seems desirable that he should, and
probable that he will become his own
successor. His six years record has
been good one; as a legislator, as
Republican, his support of public meas
ures having been practical, and his views
broad, liberal and national. He appears
to bea national man in his impulse, which
well fits him for legislator in this hour
of the nations need.
He is an old citizen of Kansas, famil-
lar with its history, thoroughly identi-
fed with its interests, and enthusiastic
over its development, while he is prop
er representative of his state upon the
leading issues before the country. Upon
the financial question he is sound and
in accord with the constituency he rep
Fesents. In his mental organization he
is well constituted to grapple with knot
ty questions of that character.
As a senator he has uniformly been in
practical accord with the administration
and always in position to give and re-
ceive the cOuFtesies and Consideration
| which would be mutual among those
/ thus placed He has been found, at
home and in the senate, on the skirmish
line of public opinion, representing the
advanced type of thought IN American
politics. His abilities are varied, being
persuasive and brilliant orator. an eff
fective debater, and an accomplished
presiding officer and parliamentarian
In legislation we notice he has been
the author of important measures affect
| ing the public land system, and IS chair
mani of the committee on pensions hehas
been of great service TO the soldiers of
the Union, TO whom he has been an in
| auential as well as a kindly considerate
friend. The experience of the past has
greatly strengthened him for the future.
Being originally New England man,
his senatorial career has been specially
noticeable by his early friends, and the
satisfaction with which they have viewed
his course stirs their interest in him for
the future and in the forthcoming cleo

A stranger preached last Sunday,
And crowds of people came,
To hear q two hours sermon
With q barbarous sounding name;
Twas all about some heather
Thousands OF miles afars
Who live in land of darkness,
Called - Borrroboola Cha"
So well their wants ne pictured
That when the plate was passed,
Each listener felt his pocket,
And goodly sums were cast;
For all must lend q shoulder
To push the rolling car
That carried light and comfort
To "BorrrObooia Cha"
That night their wants and sorrows
La heavy on my soul,
And in deep meditation
took nv morning stroll.
Till something caught my mantle
With eager grasp and wild,
And looking down with wonder,
saw little child.
A pale and puny creature
In dirt and rags forlorn;
What could she want, questioned,
Impatient to be gone
With trembling voice she answered,
'.We live just down the street, -
And mamma she's a dyin',
And we've nothing LETT to eat j"
Down in q wretched basement,
With mould upon the walls,
Thro' whose half buried windows
Gods sunshine never falls,
Where cold and want and hunger
Cfouched near her as she lay,
found a fellow creature
Gasping her life away
A chair, a broken table,
a bed of dirty straw,
A hearth all dark and hreieSs-
But these I scarcely saw,
For the mournful sight before me
The sad and sicK'ning show
oh, never had pictured
A scene so full OF woe
The famished and the naked,
The babes that pine for bread,
The squalid group that huddled
Around the dying bed:
All this distress and sorrow
Should be in lands afar;
Was 1 suddenly transported
To "BorrrOboola Cha"
All mol the poor and wretched
Were close beside my door,
And had passed them needless
A Thousand times before.
Alas for the cold and hunger
That met me every day,
While all my tears were given
To the suffering far away.
There's work enough for Christians
In distant lands we know;
Our Lord commands his servants
Through all the world to go.
Not only to the heathens;
This was his charge to them:
$50 preach the word, beginning
First at Jerusalem
o Christian. God has promis cd
Whoe'er to thee has given
A cup of pure cold water
Shall find reward in heaven.
Would you secure the blessing,
.. You need not seek 1t far;
Go find in yonder howell
