THE government clerks dismissed under the
civil service act, are forming themselves into
clubs, and are determined to force their way
back into Office. Modest fellows they were
discharged for unftness, but perhaps they

Spanish mission in prospect. A month later
the courtier said, 81 can speak Spanish now,
sire" Happy man. said Louis, Now you

fellows have been taking lessons all this time
to fit them for business in private life, as it
is doubtful if any party will buy them up,

and hopeful feelings, after having enjoyed
the relaxation it afforded from the arduous

THERE ARE GAINS FOR ALL OUR
LOSSES

THERE ARE GAINS FOR ALL OUR
LOSSES.
There are gains for all our losses
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful has vanished,
And we sigh for it vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But 1t never comes again.

nyG UP TIE BABYS STOCKING.

Hang MP the baby's stocking,
re- sure you don't forget,
The dear little dimpled darlingl
She never saw Christmas yet;
ButI'ye told her all about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands it,
She looks so funny and wise.
Dearl what tiny stocking!
ltdoesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
kAway from the frost and cold.
But then, for the baby's Christmas
twill never do at all,
Why Santa wouldn't be looking
For any thing half so small
know what we'll do for the baby,
I've thought of the very best plan,
I'll borrow q stocking of grandma
The longest that ever | can;
Andyou'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner, so,
And write letter to Santa
And fasten 1t on to the toe,
aThis is the baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here,
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's Just the blessedest baby!
And now before you go,
Just craT her stocking with goodies
FROM the top clean down to the toe."

and he will go away.-Philadelphia Bul-
letin.
"A beatitude for the holidays
Blessed are they that have plenty, for
more shall be given to them.-Norris-
toUn Herald.
If you love your wife, give evidence
OF that affection by buying her new
wood-saw for Christmas present.
The good little boy scenteth Christ

in his hat and hieth to the Sunday
school which sets out the biggest feed.
-RhinebecE Gazette.
WHAT'S the use of carrying such a
burden on your mind any longer? Why
don't you fetch out that dressing gown
and give it to your husband now?
"A city typo, who had set the Oath as
the day for getting drunk, and was
working up to it, was disguised by an
attack of sickness which thwarted his
well laid scheme.
The bad boy who ran away from
Sunday-school all summer, now joins
class and attends regularly. A bag of
candy at Christmas has nothing to do
with the matter, of course.-Canon
(Col.) Avala'ache.
Many clergymen do not yet know
where their overcsats are to come from;
but they feel sweet and solemn faith
that they will get II pairs of slippers
each about Christmas time, and that
none of them will fit.
Christmas Day the happy family
man ''scuffs'' around in his new slip

when the shoemaker sends in his bill

Tastes of Princess Louise.

Music has long been one of her IA
vorite studies, says writer in Hdrper's
Bazar, and she recently sent word to
a new singingmaster that she would
like to engage his services. He was a
true artist, and would sacrifice nothing
to formality. On arriving at the palace,
before beginning the lesson, he gravely
told his new pupil that he could only
consent to teach her upon one condi-
ton, viz, that the restraints of rank
should be laid aside. elf have to
scold," said he, good humoredly, "I
would like to forget that it is her royal
highness,' The Prince Louise laughs
ed heartily at this, and assured her new
teacher that he should use his authority
with her as he would with any of his pu-
pills. The lessons have gone on admir-
ably since then, and as the Princess
voice is sweet and accurate, her master
cannot but make something creditable
of it.
For some years the various art gal
leries have exhibited works, both in
pencil and in sculpture, done by the
Princess Louise, and at the "Gros-
venor' last year her bas-relief of
"Enid" created quite sensation
among critics, who viewed it apart from
the favor likely to be shown a royal
artist. Patronizing artists literally, she
has often given presents of her work
to her friends. Not long ago portrait
of herself, beneath which was written
"From Louise to her dear old MASTER"
was one of such gifts.
The charity which will always be
specially associated with the name of
the Marchioness of Lorne is the Victoria
Hospital for sick children, established
some few years since, the "Louise
ward - being opened in 1874. At this
beautiful hospital for the sick children
of London, otherwise homeless and un-
friended, Princess Louise has been
constantly seen, working heartily,
and not content with the merely nomi-
nal patronage which is itself benefit.
Not long ago lady well known in lit
erary circles, and q friend of the Prin-
cess, met her at the hospital for some
special purpose. 1t SO CHANGED they
were in room alone together, and the
loyal lady's critical eye fell upon some
dust on the floor. This room ought
to be swept more carefully" she ex-
claimed; then seeing broom in the
corner, evidently left by the housemaid
who vanished on their entrance, she
took it up and began playfully to sweep.
Her companion demonstrated, when
the Princess said, laughing, "Now do
you suppose that my mother left my ed
ucation so unfinished that I can't
sweepP" and accordingly, half in jest,
but with a skill many housekeepers sigh
for, the little lady vigorously swept the
apartment, having taken the homelJ
precaution of pinning back her gowr
before she commenced the operation

disposition, kind and cheerful, was
hardening under injustice; he was thin
and white in his uniform, and cutting
his hair close to his head had deprived
him of his chief charm-his wild, elfish
expression. His brown eyes were larger
than ever, but they were full of un-
spoken griefs and suppressed tears.
1t was during working hours, on the
23d of December, and a number of
benevolent people who had brought lit
tie gifts for the children's Christmas
Festival entered the long factory to see
the work in progress. The boys sat be-
fore their stocking looms, double row
on each side of the room.
Jim, unconscious of observation, rap
idly moved his shuttle, and, having fin
ished a stocking, quickly passed it to
the boy ON his right.
"That little fellow is helping his
reighbor," said the Warden to one of
the visitors g He can do more than is
required of him in the day, and the 9TH
er can not do as much. So you see he
isn't altogether hopeless, although put
up for stealing"
The visitor approached Jim for a
nearer inspection of the child, "not al
together hopeless,'' and having watch
ed him for some minutes, said aloud:
I" can not see how he works so rap
idly. l know never could do it!" 1t
was woman's sweet voice.
Jim's hands stopped as if suddenly
petrified; for minute his heart SEEM
ed to cease beating; then, with all the
blood in his body rushing to his cheeks,
every nerve thrilling, Jim sprang from
his bench and stood before his kind
friend of the Fifth Avenue adventure.
go don't you know me? That bill
you gave me, they said l stole it, and
they put me here! 0 please take me
away, want to see my mother!"
The words came with the force of a
pent-up torrent, dashing away all OBJ
structions. "My poor, little boy!" and
Jim felt human arms around his neck
as the lady recognized him. "What
have they done to you? We have hunt
ed all New York for you, my poor child.
Your mother is nearly well. / found
her as l told you l would, and she is
only worried now about you. We
would not give you up. but | never
thought of finding you here. So many
people are searching for you; the boys
father wants to see you; and, Jim, we
will 90 home as quickly as possible.
just Think for Jimwas crying now as
if his happiness would kill him, "in
two days Christmas will be here, and
such lots of things as will be on the tree
for you.'
"But they had no right to send me
here!" sobbed Jim, feeling somehow
that the wrong done to him could never
be entirely righted.
81 know it, but my little man will
live perhaps to see some good come out
of his sorrow; for you were brave and
you have been generous even here. So.
Jim, as you were innocent of wrong,
you can forgive those who injured you,
and then al will be SO pleasant after
this, for we are always going to keep
Christmas together"
