The next Christmas, Margaret handed me
little package, saying hesitatingly,-
'Since little Joe couldn't have it, and my
cousins boys are grown too much for it, and
I'd rather, If you don't mind, that it went to
Johnny"
l opened the package. 1t was the little
plaid which had bought for her in Boston.
"YOu know" she went on eagerly, you
said some people might like it more for its
being brighter than the other, and would last
Just as long"
My own words thrown artlessly back to me !.
l accepted the gift, with perhaps an unneces-
sary profusion Of thanks made it up for
Johnny, and he wore it faithfully but the
sight of scrap of that Innocent little plaid is
a reproach to me to this day.

Chicago q Alton e. r.

To accommodate the largely increased passen-
ger traffic of the Chicago & Alton r. r. and to
afford its patrons quicker and more comfortable
transportation than ever before, between the
s'Three Great Cities of the West it has been
decided to run separate trains all the way through
from Kansas City TO Chicago, and from Kansas
City to st. Louis. Heretofore through cars for
Chicago and St Louis have been hauled in one
train between Kansas City and Roodhouse. With
this new arrangement the company introduce
new Reclining Chair Palace Cars and new Palace
Dining Cars, more commOdious and magnificent
than any other cars running on any road in the
world.
AS heretofore no extra charge will made seats
in Reclining Chair Palace Cars. Dining Cars will
be run on all through trains from Kansas City to
Chicago, and also on all through trains from
Kansas City to St. Louis.
By this r0uts the entire trains consisting of
Baggage Cars, Smoking Cars, First Class
Coaches, Reclining Chair, Palace Cars, and Pull
man Palace Sleeping Cars run through without
change between Kansas City and Chicago, and
Kansas City and st. Louis; separate trains are
run all the way from Kansas City to Chicago.
and Kansas City to ST. Louis; no other line
makes as fast time to Chicago, and no other line
makes faster time to St. Louis; and this is the
only line running Dining Cars to or..from Kansas
City.

Presbyterian Sunday School

Presbyterian Sunday School.
Annual report for the year 1879, read
December 18th at the close of the re-
view:
The average attendance for the year
was 1541. Number of new classes
formed during the year, 3. Number of
classes now in the school, Is. All sup.
piled with regular teachers. Amount
of contribution during the year 500.
One third of which is given to the Sun
day School missionary work.
The report for 1873 is as follows :
Average attendance, &c. Number of
classes, 13. Amount of contribution,
$3.50. All appropriated to contingent
expenses.
These reports show at increase of
about 80 per cent. in the attendance,
during the year. Also an increase of
about 80 per cent. in the contributions.
1t is the purpose to devote one.half of
the amount given by the school this
year to the missionary cause, and it is
confidently believed that the result will
be gain in the amount kept for contin-
gent expenses. The experiment this
year of giving one-third of our offerings
to the Lords cause elsewhere has re.
suited in gain of 25 per cent. in the
amount kept for home use.
