feeling?" But, indeed, no one had
thought that, as Maud made haste to
say.
The carols were sung, but with tears
in them. The house was dressed as
usual with holly and all the decora-
tions of tie time; and there was at least
a great deal Of conversation, which
hghtened the gloom and silence of the
previous period. Even Sir Robert was
glad to talk to Mr.. Lightfoot, who
had been the rector in former times.
On Christmas night the attempt at
games was somewhat doleful, as it will
be, alas this Christmas in many a sor-
rowing and many an anxious house;
but the talk and the little hustle OF
renewed movement did everybody
good. The commonplace ghost stories
which are among the ordinary foolish
ness Of Christmas did not suit with
the more serious tone in which their
thoughts flowed; but there was some
talk among the older people about
those sensations and presentiments
that seem sometimes to convey a kind
Of prophesy, only understood after
the event, of sorrow on the way; and
the young ones amused themselves af-
ter a sort with discussions of those
new-fangled fancies which have re-
placed that old favorite lore. They
talked about what is called spiritual
ism, and of many things, both in that
fantastic faith and in the older ghost
ly traditions, which we are all half
glad to think can not be explained.
The older people, indeed, unhesitating-
ly rejected all mediums and supernat-
ural operators of every kind as impos-
tors; but even on this point various
members of the party had things to
tell which they did not know how to
explain. rs there not some tradition
of a ghost about Daintrey?" Mr..
Foot, the old rector said, as they all
sat in wide circle round the great
glowing fire just before the moment
should arrive for bed-candles and gen.
eral good-nights. There was not very
much light in the room, but, large as
it was, it was all ruddy and brilliant
with the blaze of the great cheerful
fire.
Nothing of the sort, said Sir Rob-
ert emphatically. 1t was he who was
most strong as to the whole thing be-
ing an imposition, and who did not
believe word" of the stories he was
told
II believe there is something-very
vague" said Lady Beresford. But
there was a meaning look exchanged
between them, and the talk suddenly
ceased
And by-and-by the ladies went all
foclking out of the room, carrying
their lights, like procession of the
wise virgins in the parable. But their
black dresses made that procession a
sad one, though the soft bloom Of the
young faces came out with even more
effect when the light found nothing
else to dwell upon. The young men
found little relief from the gravity
of the conversation in the smoking
room, where Mr.. Beresford the elder,
the uncle of the party, discoursed upon
town and its charms, and congratulate
ed himself that he was not like his
brother Robert, the head of the
family, and compelled to pass his win
ters in the middle of those damp acres
of park. SIT would kill me in a year,"
Mr.. Beresford said. On the whole
they were all glad that the worst was
over, and Christmas got safely done
with for that year.

''Behold, Satan hath desired to have you. that
nay sift you wheat.'-[St Luke, xii. 81.
In st. Luke's Gospel we are told
How Peter i'll the days of old
Was sifted:
And now, though ages intervene.
Sin is the same, while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires u.s. great and small,
As wheat, to sift us, and we all
Are tempted:
Not one, however rich or great,
Is by his station or estate
Exempted.
No house so safely guarded is
But he. by some device of his,
Can enter:
No heart hath armor so complete
But he can pierce with arrows fleet
Its centre.
For all at last the cock will
Who hear the warning voice, but go,
Unheeding,
Till thrice and more they have denied
The Man of SORROWS crucifed
And bleeding.
One look of that pale suffering face
VIII make us feel the deep disgrace
OF weakness:
We shall be sifted til the strength
Of self-conceit be changed at length
To meekness.
Wounds of the soul, though healed, will ache;
The reddening scars remain, and make
Lost innocence returns more:
We are not what we were before
Transgression.
But noble souls, through dust and heat,
Rise from disaster and defeat
The stronger,
And conscious still of the divine
Within them, lie on earth supine
No longer.

There was but a small party for
Christmas at Daintrey. The family
were in mourning, which meant more
than it usually means, and the whole
life Of the place was subdued. Ney-
ertheless, the brothers and sisters were
young, and were beginning to rise
above the impression of the grief
which had come upon them. The
gloom had lightened a little; they be-
gan to forget the details Of death, and
regard the image of their brother in
an aspect more familiar. 1t was not

A Comparison.

The Dispatch generally has printing reform
spasm once year, the annual recurrence being
about the time the GLOBE makes contract to
do the city printing. This reform ought to
strike our contemporary little earlier. For in
stance, the day before the election of the GLOBE
the Dispatch published voluminous advertise
ment supplied by the Republican State Treas
urer, for which it received seventy-fve cents
per square or total of five or six hundred dol
lars. The price is the legal one fixed by the
State and is not unfair. But if the GLOBE had
been required to perform the same work for
the city it would have received but forty cents
per square or between two and three hundred
dollars. This shows the difference between
rates fixed by Republican officials and Demo-
cratic. The Republican style might be further
noted by citing the fact that the State treas
urer publishes his advertisement in two pa
pers, while the law only requires it in one. As
the law does not absolutely forbid its publica-
ton in two papers, the State treasurer pub
fishes it in the Dispatch as well as the p. p,
paying nearly double to each paper the rate
the GLOBE receives from the Democratic city
council of st. Paul.
This is the relative style of Republican and
Democratic economy, and We commend this
evident opportunity to work great reform to
our distinguished evening contemporary. 1t
might display Spartan frmness and Roman
courage by declining the second and illegal
publication, at any price, or at least come
down to the moderate city figures.

Il MeteOric UiSplaY.

Very many of the Minnesota local papers,
embracing wide area of country, speak of
q recent bright particular light in the sky;
an uncommon, enlarged flash of lightning
with no following report, or brilliant, daz-
zling meteorolite. The Alexandra, Douglas
county, Post of January 2, speaks of the
unusual manifestation as follows:
About 6 o'clock, or shortly after, on Tues
day morning, an usual meteoric display of
great brilliancy occurred. Those who were
out and saw it say that there came first a
bright flash, like lightning, fairly dazzling
in brightness, and in the southeastern
heavens, about thirty degrees above the
horizon there appeared a blaze of light
about the diameter of the full moon, and
three times as long, which remained station
airy for several seconds, Lighting up every
thing around. Then a long stream of fire
issued from each end, an explosion of the
whole body followed, particles flying to some
distance from the central blaze, then the
light slowly faded into a mass of blleish,
smoky vapor, and finally disappeared. No
report was heard. Many who saw it were
seriously frightened, and all were greatly
startled.

II is reported that Gen. Johnston, of Vir-
ginia, will shortly introduce bill for the
reorganization of the army on the basis of
twenty five thousand enlisted men, as sug-
gested by Gen. Sherman in his annual
report. We see no objections to increasing
the number of enlisted men as proposed, but
trust that while Congress is attending to the
job it will not neglect the opportunity OF
relieving the army of its top heaviness. The
army register shows that there are at present
over twenty-five hundred commissioned Off
GERS, OF an average of one officer for every
eight soldiers. This is altogether out OF
due proportion. The average of officers to
enlisted men in the English army is about
one to twenty-one, and in France one to
twenty nine, while in Germany there is but
one commissioned officer to every thirty
four privates. We can easily dispense with
at least one-half of our commissioned officers
without detriment to the service.

A MILITARY bureau to be attached to the
adjutant-general's office is one OF the
schemes on foot to increase tho number of
officers of the army. The bill for its crea-
ton provides for the appointment of one
chief, with the rank of colonel; two ieuten-
ant colonies, four majors. four captains,
and twelve inspectors with the rank not less
than that of lieutenant colonel, four OF
whom will be taken from the regular army,
and the rest from State and militia organ
isations. 1t is our opinion that there is al
ready superabundanoe of bureaus; but if a
new one is to be created the offices can be
filled with army officers who are now kept
busy doing nothing.

GARFIELD,S SUICIDE.

After long years of weary waiting Gen.
Garfield has attained the summit of his pres
emit ambition by neutrality-suspicious. to
an election-as United States Senator from
the State of Ohio. Whether this promotion
will be to his advantage remains to be seen.
But We must confess that the project is not
one that should inspire him with extreme
qualification, for there is great danger that
his present prominence in the national leg
islature will wither and die in at atmosphere
that has hitherto proved fatal to orators
transplanted from the lower house of Con-
gress.
It is a remarkable fact that few men who
have risen from the House of Representatives
to the Senate have retained either their pop
ularity or their influence. Men have been
distinguished in the former as orators of fine
parts, close, acute reasoners and ready de-
baters, whose word in the councils of their
party was law. They have been transferred
to the upper house, and instantly they have
disappeared from public view as completely
as if they we're dead and buried. Take Sen
ators Dawes and Hoar, of Massachusetts, for
example. Both were influential members of
the House, governing to q great extent its
action on all matters of public concern.
Mr.. Dawes especially was little less
than a dictator. From the day
of Thad Stevens death he was recog-
nized as the leader of the House, and there
was none to dispute his reign. But in an
evil hour he became imbued with the idea
that he would have a wider field in the
Senate, and he secured an election to that
body. Ever since that day he has been a
cipher in the management of public affairs.
His name seldom appears in reports of the
debates, and then only by the briefest men,
ton. He might as well be out of the world
so far as his influence is concerned, for he is
completely overshadowed by his seniors in
the Senate and amounts to simply nobody.
While we donbt whether it will increase
Gen. Garfeld's prominence to go to the
Senate, and possibly dwarf him, as it has
Blaine and others, every one must concede
that, by all party usage, he was entitled to
the promotion if he desired it. He has
stepped aside for others whenever it seemed
to be advisable on party grounds until his
party owed him debt which deserved pay
ment. The unanimity with which the prize
WAS bestowed and the fact that he violated
custom by not visiting Columbus during the
contest, shows the hold which he has OBJ
tanned by his long public career. It was a
personal triumph of which he may we'll be
proud, though it will not be matter of sur
prise if he lives to regret the change from
the popular branch to the digni6ed stupidity
which predominates in the other end of the
capitol.

STATE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.

STATE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
We would call the attention of our readers
to the annual meeting of the State Forestry
association, to be held at the capitol on
Tuesday evening next. No organization
among men has more laudable object in
view, "to promote the ultimate redemption
of the treeless region of Minnesota" and it
is gratifying for US to record the fact that,
mainly through the efforts of this associa-
ton, forest culture in our broad prairies is q
demonstrated success. Hundreds of arti-
fetal groves planted within the last three
years, in all our treeless counties, will COM
pare more than favorably with any natural
groves of double their age, and already begin
to repay the labor bestowed upon them, not
only relieving the landscape of its nakedness
but already affording very perceptible Of
feet in shade and shelter from sun and
wind. Men who q few years ago secuted
the idea of forest culture on our great
prairies are now among the foremost in sur
rounding their premises with groves and
windbreaks.
How to do this work successfully is what
the new conner wants to know. TO meet the
increasing demand for such information,
the association has published a manual OF
tree:planting, prepared by its secretary, Leon
ard B. Hodges. An edition of over five
thousand was published last April. No sim
liar publication has received less notice from
the press of Minnesota, and but small
fraction of our people know of the existence
of such a publication.
Mr.. Hodges, however, tells US the demand
from parties interested in forest culture has
already consumed over three-ffths of this
edition, and that the demand for the man
ual is increasing in ratio that will absorb
the entire edition of five thousand
by April ne1t We are glad to note that I'M
der the prudent management of the associa-
ton there is yet money enough in its treas
ury to publish another edition of 5000
copies of this useful book for gratuitous cir
culation among the settlers of our treeless
frontier counties.
We call the attention of our business men
to this meeting, and ask them to give one
evening to the promotion of forest culture
Their permanent success is largely contin-
gent upon the permanent settlement of the
great prairie region lying beyond US, and
every effort contributing to this result adds
to the volume of business.
The fortunes of our great cities depend
largely upon the prosperity and comfort OF
the people who 60 forth to conquer homes
on the prairie. We should omit nothing for
their encouragement.
