How Is Seem. to be Vice President.

tFrom recent Washington Letter.l
Here are two good anecdotes told by Vice
President Wheeler recently to a single listen
or, while taking lunch in his parlor at the
capitol. The Vice President had been saying
that he felt the moss growing on him since
his Inauguration, and that he fretted good
deal under the enforced dleness of his posi-
tion. To show how little real power and re-
sponsibility attach to the official whom Frank
lin proposed should be called Ellis Most Su-
pertiuous Highness" he told this story of
Hamlin "When Hamlin was Vice President
he used to say the office was the meanest one
in the country. He was doing in his chair
in the Senate one day when I came from the
House and asked him jOkingly if he could
think of anything that would make his happi-
ness complete Yes, he replied, if l could
have bowl of sweet baked apples and milk
| should be perfectly happy told him that
was my favOrite lunch, and we went down to
the restaurant together. While we were eat
ing Hamlin said Wheeler, to show you
what a no-account office this vice presidency
is let me tell you what happened to me
shortly after l was elected to it. An old
friend, living in my county, wrote TO me that
he would like to be postmaster in his town.
The office paid a salary of Just S25 year
Well, went TO the Postmaster General and
he referred me to the first assistant who
The fact is, Mr., Vice President, the congress-
man from that district has recommended
another man for this post office. He repre-
sents the people now, and you-why-ah-
you don't represent anybody in particular"
So found the Vice President of the United
States had not influence enough to get man
appointed to S25 post office. " To this sto-
ry Mr.. Wheeler added one about himself;
"A few weeks after became Vice President"
he said, II went on Sunday to a church in
Washington. The good minister prayed for
the President and the cabinet, and forthesena-
tors and members ofthe House ofRepresenta-
tives, the governors of the several States, and
many for the heather, but made no mention
of the Vice President As / was walking
home Sam Shelabarger came up and took
my arm, and said, The preacher was rather
hard on you to leave you out of his prayer
altogether Yes l replied, it struck me
that he was he put me down below the
heather as not worth praying for at ALL AZ

How THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA
AND HIS ROYAL WIPE Took A WALK IN Mon
TREAL.-Now that our new governor general
and his wife have departed from our immedi-
ate midst we may be pardoned for mention
ing an interesting episode in connection with
their excelencies' first days experience of
the Canadian metropolis. After partakng of
refreshments and a short rest following the
arrival of the party Mt the Windsor on Friday
afternoon, her royal highness the Princess
Louise determined, with her liege lord, to be-
come acquainted with the sights of Montreal,
which, of course, could be accomplished with
much greater facility incognito and picd :
but would not the watchful eye of the citi-
zens quickly detect them and make the task
less easy and more disagreeable? However,
the tact of her royal highness was equal to
the occasion; nor was she deferred in the
least by the depth Of Montreal mud then Gov
ering the streets Dressed somewhat in the
style of hdbitdhte, with dress tucked up and
veil closely drawn over her face the royal
lady was prepared to saunter forth, and in
accordance with her directions the marquis
had completely disguised himself in very
common clothes, his trousers legs turned up
and slouched hat drawn over his eyes.
Their excellences' attendants were instructed
to attire themselves as 'cads, but being per-
haps Just little more proud than the mar
quis and princess, their appearance, when
they presented themselves for approval was
not pleasing to her royal highncss, who met
them with the command: You look too
well for me. You must go back and make
yourselves less respectable Amused and
astonished they obeyed her bidding, and fl
nally they all went out. But how could they
escape detection in leaving the hotel? This
way: The armed guard were in strict attend
at tla lu1iAg' th1e al,
then, avoided and that of the public Office
and general entrance door taken. Thus they
managed to escape recognition, not only
while going out but also while on the streets,
where they remained for long time admir-
ing Montreals grand architecture, and final
ly returned to the Windsor after dark, de-
lighted with the success of her royal high
ness's little stratagem and with what they
had seen. Montreal Witness

A question has long existed, whether or
not the 25th of December is really the ami
versary of our Saviours coming. The evi-
dence regarding the date is not only tradi-
tional, but is both conflicting and confused.
In the earliest records, it appears that the
Christians in some communities celebrated
the festival on the first or sixth day Of Janu-
ary others on the Goth of March, the time
of the Jewish passover, and others on the
Goth of September, or the feast of the taber-
nacles. Long before the reign of COnstan-
tine in the fourth century, the season of New
Year had been adopted as the period for cele-
brating the Nativity, though difference in
this respect existed in the Eastern and West
ern churches, the former observing the 9th
of January, and the latter the 25th of Decem-
ber. The institution of Christmas as a day
10 be observed is '5uted to Pope Teles-
phorus, about th ar l3G, since which "a
period of 17l9 y 4s) the day has been OBJ
served as a Christian festival. In the East
ern churches it however continued to be
movable feast, until the period between 337
and 35G, when, after careful investigation by
Pope julius l., at the solicitation of st. Cyril
of Jerusalem, Dec. % was settled upon as the
date for the observance of the festival. Ever
since, the festival has been uniformly Observ-
ed by all nations of Christendom on that day.
The manner of its observance in the early
ages is full of variety and interest. By the
Romans the occasion was celebrated under
the title of SatuInalia, or the festival of Sat
urn, and was marked by the prevalence of
universal license and merry making. The
slaves were permitted to enjoy freedom in
speech and behavior Every one feasted and
rejOiced business was suspended; houses
were decked with laurel and evergreens
presents were made from one to another and
all sorts of games were indulged in. Among
the Druids the day was observed in a ruder
form, and sacrifices were made both in men
and cattle, to the savage divinities of Odin
and Thor. The custom of decoration, il is

The BLESSING OF THE CHRISTMAS TINE is
that we are all gift-bringers. Thoughtless-
ness, which, more than sefshness, is the
mistake of our domestic and social lives, has
for little lost its gripe, and we are become
thoughtful, at least in one direction. How
am going to give most pleasure z" - is
uppermost. The answer that at lahC stands
fully out in the Christmas Offering, is a moral
quantity-on the right side of the account.
In making somebody happier you have made
yourself better. You may talk of the pleas
ure of receiving, and many are looking for
ward with happy anxiety to what they shall
get. But the real JOY is the joy of the giver.
Jesus was not wrong The sparkle in eye,
the feeling in tone, the all-over and all
through gladness of the receiver, what are
they compared with that inerpressible glow
that warns at the heart and hushes to the tiniest
retreat of feeling, when one secs that his gift
the gift of his heart-has touched the heart
to which it goes? OF all the glad hearts in
the glad world at this glad time, they who
are d0nd JerenteS (gift-bringers) are the glad
dest, and it's full tide of such happiness
circling the round globe this blessed Christ
mas time. Even Scrooge came to feel the
beatitude, not counted i'll among those of the
mountain, but not least among beattudes,
whichis rhim who brings gift in love and
sometimes l am tempted to feel that next af-
ter the gift of Him whose coming made for
us Christmas, was the gift from him who
brought to us, for our instruction and our
memory, Sorooge and Tiny Tim. And 30
God bless us all " and make us through all
our lives gift-bringers TO the necessities and
suherings of our fellows as to their joys and
affections.

NO. so.

supposed, was introduced by the Druids, and
has almost universally been adopted by the
Christian church and the people The OBJ
servances in connection with the mysterious
mistletoo were practiced by the ancient Brit
ons and those Of the famous Yule log, which
is still a feature in England, were derived
from the Scandinavians. As an accompani-
ment TO the latter practice, candle Of mon
strous size, called the Yule candle, shed it's
rays over the festive board, and this fact in
itself may explain the burning of the Christ
mas candle on Christmas eve, so common
among the Roman Catholic families of this
country. When the festival fell on Saturday
it was considered to indicate that an unlucky
year would follow, but when it came on Sun
day, the succeeding year would be the re-
verse. At present, Christmas day, although
somewhat shorn Of its ancient glories, and
unmarked by that boisterous iollity and exu-
berance of animal spirits which distinguished
it in the time of yore, is yet the holiday Of
the year.

OUR CHRISTMAS MISCELLANY


NSA1Nf
Though angry roar,
Outside the door,
The blasts Of wintry weather,
Inside the light
Is warm aud bright,
The while we sing together.
Though field and wood,
That lately stood
In all their summer glory,
Are dead and drear,-
We hold It dear,
This tin Of sacred story.
On meadow brown
The snow comes down
In wintry drifts and shadows;
But all the more
We bless the store
OF mirth that Christmas hallows.
The garden dead,
Lies in its bed;
but children are the flowers
OF garden room
Within the home,
That blooms ia Christmas hours.
The songs they sing,
The hymns they bring,
OF gladucss, where they gather,
From childhoods mouth
Come like the south
Warm wind in winter weather.
with carols comel
No voice be dumb!
Loud rise the ac 'lamAtions:
'Tis Jesus birth,
Aud round the earth
Roll birth-songs Of the nations.

"Christmas, says DIR. Philip Schaf in his
church history, "kindles in mid-wintera holy
fire of love and gratitude, and breaches in the
longest night the rising OF the Sun of Life and
the glory of the Lord. Itdenotes the advent OF
the true Golden Age, of the freedom and equal
ity of all the redeemed before God and in
God"
One of the prettiest stories of the Christ
mas time year ago was that of little ten
year-old Chicago girl who wanted 30 much
to spend the holiday with her grandfather in
Concord, New Hampshire, that her parents
finally consented TO let her take the Journey
alone. It was distance of over eleven hun
dred miles, but little Emma was sure she
could 60 by herself if her father would buy
her a ticket and take her TO the cars. And,
sure enough she did. Careful arrangements
We're made, and the small girl was put under
the conductors charge But she mad friends
ON the journey, and everybody was interested
in the brave and artless child who wanted 30
much to spend Christmas at her grandfather's
