A Deer CAPTURED BY Girls.

A few days ago, SAYS the Toronto
(Canada) Globe, Rosa and Gertrude
Breckenridge, daughters of Mr.. W.
Breckenridge, of Belmont, while in the
vicinity of Long Lake, noticed large
deer madly rush into the water, evident
" pursued and slightly wounded.
Without O moments hesitation the two
girls procured boat, armed themselves
with clubs and set after the deer. They
soon encountered the aggravated animal,
when the girls oourageously commenced
the attack with their clubs, and after a
short contest brought his deership to
bay, and had him conveyed to their home
"A proof OF their prowess.

A Merry Christmas!

"a merry Christmas to you ALL"
Ia passing now from mouth to mouth,
From east to west, from north 10 south
From lowly cot and stately hall.
"a merry Christmas to us ALI"
Is shouted by the cheerful host;
The windows barred against the frost,
We toast the season, great and small.
A merry Christmas Hush-no breath
OF revelry must pierce the gloom
or yonder chamber-from that room
The spirit has passed out with Death.
The widow clasps her child, kiss
Is pressed upon its rosy face;
A choking sigh-a close embrace
"a merry Christmas?" What is this3
"A Christmas party-let US go!"
A wand'rer hopeless drops to die;
His brothers needless pass him by.
Half frozen in the freezing snow.
A merry Christmas What few
Remain of those it welcomed last;
Another year has DER us pass'd
And left us, wife, the only two.
The childish laugh We held 80 dear,
The toys that made us once more young
The infant arms that round Us clung,
Have varish'd with the passing year.
But Christmas merry is-and those
Who strive to make 1t so do well
For who can ever ftly tel
What comfort from this season aows9
"a merry Christmas :" let us bless
The season when our Lord was born;
And doubly bless the Christmas morn
That gave us "Chiist our Righteousness.
"a merry Christmas to You all !"
Let It resound from mouth to mouth,
From east and west to north and south,
To hamble cot to stately hall

The Resources of Turkey.

A London Times correspondent writes
from Varna: The measures agreed
upon by the Seraskierate for the aug-
mentation of the army, and the numbers
computed to result from them, are re-
spectively as follows : All the recruits
liable by ordinary course OF law to ser We
next year were last month summoned to
service. Bv this measure there were
raised %. 900 infantry. 1920 field artil.
lery, $3.50 cavalry, 1850 fortress artil.
lery, and 1,700 engineers-in all about
A,000 men.
Beside this new levy the Turkish army
in the field Will receive a strong rein
forcement in the Corps of Bagdad and
Yemen, the greater part of which is al
ready on the march to the seat of war.
The grand total of reinforcements-
namely, those who have reached the
front, those who are on the march
thither and those who are ready to start
amounts according to the regulations
to about 230 battalions with twenty bat
teries, or nearly 250, 600 men. But the
actual number will fall considerably
short of these figures. The rapid sum-
moning out of 80 many recruits cannot
be done without deductions. The
march, also, for weeks, and even months,
Of so many men-poorly clad, poorly
fed, and exposed to all the damaging in
fuences of the worst season of the year
from the most distant parts of Turkey
to the seat OF war cannot but be attended
with heavy losses. All deductions
made, the actual number of recruits
which the measures of the Serasklerate
should obtain would probably fall some
what short of 200, ,0UO men. That is
still, no doubt, very considerable fight
ing power. but when compared with the
present strength of the enemy and the
additions they also are continually max
ing to their numbers, the situation of
the Turks will not appear too assuring.
These measures, however, do not ex-
haust the military resources of the coun.
try. There is still reserve which may
be called out, and which would yield an
increase of 1873 battalions, or lag, 900
men. Lastly, the militia system. when
fully. enforced, would command 467 bat
talions, OF which only thirty-three have
as yet come forward. There thus re.
mains force OF 434 battalions liable to
be summoned TO arms.
Altogether the total military force of
Turkey not yet called ont may be set
down ct 900, 900 men.

Hospitality in Russia.

Russian hospitality is dazzling. The
entertainments which are given by the
richest mobiles in st. Petersburg excel
anything that can be seen elsewhere, be-
cause nowhere else can people afford to
spend so much upon show. The rich
elsewhere have claims upon their for
tunes, and spend good deal in improv-
ing their estates, but Russian draws
ali he can from his land, and gives back
little or nothing. He disburses prodi-
gally for wines, music, diamonds, rich
dresses for his wife he keeps an i'm
mense retinue of servants, CANDLES
largely, whatever may be his age or
profession, and the surplus of his income
goes to defray expenses to Paris, Nice
and the German watering places, where
he seems to set his ambition on enrich
ING hotel keepers.

Words OF Wisdom.
Little wealth little care.
The offender never pardons.
The shortest answer is doing.
he is rich that wants nothing.


The shortest answer is doing.
he is rich that wants nothing.
Praise the sea but keep on land.
Bear with all evil and expect good.
Sometimes the best gain is to lose.
Mental gifts often hide bodily defects
A gift much expected, is paid no
given.
One bad example ssoils many good
precepts.
A wise man makes more opportuni
ties than he finds.
he that hath love in his heart haiti
spurs in his sides.
Send wise man on an errand and say
nothing unto him.
Pardon and pleasantness are great
revengers of SANDER.
Incidence is the rust of the mind ani
the inlet of every vice.
Life becomes useless and insipid wher
we have no longer friends or enemies.
It is always safe to learn even Of ou,
manifestation safe to venture to In
struct even our friends.
Make no more vows to perform this OF
that it shows no great strength, and
makes thee ride behind thyself.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipat.
ing his afternoons, and wastes his after.
moons in regretting his mornings.
| When the heart is pure, there is hardly
anything which can mislead the under.
standing in matters of immediate per.
sonal concernment.
Try to combine beauty and utility. A
flower is none the less sweet because il
has germ in it's heart that will fruotify
after the fall of its petals.
Is it Just to forget all the kindness
done us by those with whom we live for
little pain, which, after all, may have
been given unintentionally9
Men are not made to hang down their
heads or lips, and those who do, only
show that they are departing from the
true paths of common sense and right.
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than in a whole hemisphere Of clouds
and gloom. Therefore cultivate all that
is warm and genial.
Life is itself neither good nor evil. It
is the scene of good or evil, as you make
it !; and if you have lived day, you
have seen all. One day is equal to and
like all other days there is 10 other
light, no other shade this very sun,
this moon, these very stars, this very
order and revolution of things, are the
same your ancestors enjoyed, and that
shall also entertain your posterity.
Leisure, the highest happiness on
earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect
satisfaction except in solitude. Indo-
lence and indifference do not always
afford leisure, for true leisure is fre-
quently found in that interval Of relax
alton which divides painful duty from
an agreeable rela1-recreation a toll
