Ont In the cold they hunger and shiver,
Dear little children with brave human hearts;
Whore Is their God to save and deliver2
Where Is the comfort bis pity imparts2
Wrapped in the folds of comfortable clothing
Dear little children, with sweet, tender eye1
Gaze for q moment, then turn away loathing
Under these wonderful, glad Christmas sdesI
Under the burden Of sin, and OF sorrow,
Is there hand that is hidden, and warm7
Is there q sun that win rise on the morrow
Over the clouds Of misfortune and stormf
Out from the mold win the daisies and clover.
Into perfection Of color and grace,
Where is the bloom, then, for each little iscsf

A LOUD and laughing welcome to the merry Christ

All hail with happy gladnes the well-khawp chant
that swels;
We list the pesling anthem chord we hear the .ia-
night strain,
And love the tidings that proclaim ChristmAs-tids

But there must be melody, of purer, deeper sound,
rich Keynote, whose echo, runs through all the
music round;
Let kindly voices ring beneath low-roof or palace
dome,
For these alone are Christmas chimes that bless
Christmas Home.

"Uneasy Rests the Head That Wears a
Crown"

A thorough investigation of every por-
ton of the Winter Palace, in St. Peters
burg, having at length been completed.
and the police authorities having salts
fed themselves that no danger of an
other attempt upon the Cars life within
the walls of his town residence is at pres
ent to be apprehended, he now resides
in the palace again, sleeping, however,
in a different apartment every night.
The life actually led by the Russian En-
peror in his magnificent abode is pitiably
dismal. No nourishment, either solid
or liquid, that has not been tasted in his
presence by some official parsonage ever
passes his Ii ps. His bath is examined
every morning by the medical officers of
his household before he ventures to use
it, and he seldom approaches stove or
a fireplace, lest some explosive material,
concealed among the fuel, should have
been secretly introduced into it. Before
he retires to rest, his bedroom and dress
ing room, as well as the apartments
contiguous to them on the upper and
lower floors, are submitted to rigorous
His Majesty appears ex-
tremely nervous, takes no interest in
State business, and exhibits Indifference

constituted his favorite occupation.

-IIighlanders have the habit when
talking their English, such as it is, OF
interfering the personal pronoun " he
where not required, such as, "The King
he has come" Often, in consequence,
a sentence is rendered extremely ludi-
crous. A gentleman says he lately
listened to the Rev. Mr.. -, who be-
gan his discourse thus: "My friends,
you will find my text in the First Epistle
General of Peter, fifth chapter, and
eighth verse: The devil he goeth about
like a roaring lion, seeking whom he
may devour.' Now, my brethren, for
your instruction, have divided my text
into four heads. Firstly, we shall en-
deavor to ascertain who the devil he
was. Secondly, we shall inquire into
his geographical position, namely,
where the devil he was, and where
the devil he is going. Thirdly, who the
devil he was seeking. And fourthly and
lastly, we shall endeavor to solve
question which has never yet been
solved-what the devil he was roaring
about.''

Dear Sir-Having suffered many weary
months from liver complaint without relief,
I was last summer induced to try your Gold

time I was scarcely able to walk. Owing to

success. Yours truly,

pluck. They learn the habits of fami-
lies in houses they propose to plumber,
and then. while the family is at dinner,
will climb up the stone coping of the
front door to the second-story window,
enter there, and rapidly 60 through the
rooms, taking everything of value they
can reach, and departing as they came.
They are always young fellows,
athletic, agile, and generally are desper-
ate characters. Most of them are good
looking, and they aim to get information
of the habits of the families they mark
for robbery by forming acquaintance
with the nurses and servant girls, either
at the area gates or in the parks, when
the girls are sent out with the children.
Troy Dennis was one of the boldest of
this class, and came to his death while
practicing his nefarious work. He had
Just robbed one house in Madison ave-
nue., and was climbing up to the second
story window of another when the ILL
secured coping over the door fell with
him, and in some way, as he and the
stone came down together, his head was
undermost, and was crushed. He lived
only until he was carried to Bellevue
Hospital That famous robbery of Moore,
the gun-maker, of 100000, was perpe-
trated in that way by Troy Dennis and
Q. Carr. Carr committed suicide by
taking poison On Sound steamer.
What is the most dangerous Grim
inal?"
THAT depends on how you mean
dangerous If YOU mean dangerous to
those who attempt to interfere with him
or who seek to arrest him, your third Or
fourth-class burglar: the ignorant brute
who relies only on force, and has NOR
bid dread of arrest, is the wcrst. But if
you mean dangerous to the community
at large, by reason of his greater capaci-
ty for crime and ingenuity in evading
punishment fori it, by all odds your sober
criminal, to whatever class he may be-
long, is the worst. You will find at the
top Of every class of criminals a few who
drink nothing stronger than settler wa
ter, if they even go as strong as that, and
they are the terrors. There was William
Gray. the bond forger, who was brought
back here from Europe by Captain kealy
a year ago last July. His father was for
years Chaplain of the United States SEN
ate. He was well educated, had the
most charming manners and apparently
correct life, and never drank even sip
of wine. That was how he came to be
at the head of the most expert band of
forgers in the land The forgers, Rob-
erts and Gleason, were also strictly tenn
perate men. The really tirst-class burg
lars, those who contine their operations
to banks and other great affairs, and the
bond forgers and counterfeiters, will not
trust man who gets drunk

many of the pests that attack plants and in
most cases it may be used quite freely with
out danger of injuring anything but the in
sects. The asparagus slugs that often ap-
pear upon the young shoots in spring are
readily destroyed by liberal applications Of
lime when the plants are wet with dew or
rain. Lime is also useful in destroying and
driving away various kinds of flea beetles
that infest cabbage and cauli1ower plants,
slugs upon cherry and pear trees, cut-worms
and similar insect pests found in almost every
garden and orchard.

Fashions and Fancies i'm Wall Decoration.

The tendency in colors is gradually to
leave the olive tints and shades and to
tend toward the light, warm browns that
are styled coral in England, but which
are unlike any corals except those wide,
branching kinds called sea-fans. This
color is seen at its best in the English
flock papers, which, in spite of all inno-
vations, are almost as much used now as
they were a score of years ago. The
patterns are more elegant than those
formerly employed, being vines or sprays
of leaves so closely interviewer as almost
to cover the ground, but producing an
effect that is much richer than that of
plain color. These papers are pro-
duced in every conceivable tint, so that
it is possible to match them to any dec
Grafton or furniture. Brocade and cash
mere and tapestry papers are shown in
great variety, and are remarkable for
the skill with which the pattern is
brought out, SO that it is visible from
any point, instead of only being appa-
reht to a person who stands in exactly
the right place, as are many of the de-
signs in which the figure is outlined in
gilt. The grounds are in gold chemi-
cally treated so as to present a great
many different tints; in silver made to
assume very delicate green, and in fine
salmon pink that looks like satin. The
figures are vines in dark shades con-
trasting harmoniously with the ground,
and in looking at them it is hard to be-
lieve that each leaf is not separately
tinted by hand instead Of being the re-
suit of many successive printings. 1t
must be understood that on these papers
no machine work is possible. Those
who have examined piece of fine Dor
dering or roll of paper may have no
ticed that along the uncolored edges
there are small dashes of color apparent
ly without meaning, and destined to be
cut off or hidden. These dashes are the
registers that mark the limits of the
blocks used in printing on the prepared
ground, and as twenty impressions are
sometimes needed to produce pattern,
some rolls Of paper have to be handled
and dried scores of times before they ala.
finished. The gilt and silver grounds
are allowed to season a year before thaT
are printed, and this delay and tls
great quantity of work involved in tor
printing are the reasons why the bra
cade and the satin papers are so expesa

An exquisite youth of New Haven
took home from party pretty girl,
who promised to 60 riding with him on
the following Thursday (the first of
ApriD. She had been introduced to
him, for joke, as Miss Brown, and had
left him at the gate of genuine Mr..
Browns residence, he supposing it was
her home. Mr.. Brown has six fair
daughters, and when the youth called
there on the festive first with beautiful
horse and stylish buggy, to take ''Miss
Brown out riding, and failed to recog-
nize any one of the six as the lady with
whom he made the engagement, he felt
like just the biggest April fool in these

IN June last, at T, Pennsylvania,
time several children were christened. Little
Johnny was rather pugnacious by tempera-
ment, but seemed deeply impressed by the
ceremony. At home, during the previous
week, all the feather beds and pillows had
been renovated by peregrinating renovstor,
among the children. On the afternoon after
the christening Johnny was quite angered by
one of his sisters. Immediately the hand was
raised, as of old, to strike; but slowly 1t was
lowered, and with a serious voice and look
worthy the rebuke of an apostle, he said,
renovated, toov'-Ha,per's Drasoer.

The choice some people make of
matrimonial partners is hard to under
stand. A young Maine farmer married
a highly cultured Boston girl who didn't
know the first thing about housekeeping,
but had devoted her youth to the study
of geology and mineralogy, and when
he took her home, instead of attending
to household duties, she went roaming
about the farm, and soon discovered on
her husbands land gold mine worth
$4,000. You can't always tell how a
match will turn out.
