Prince Leopold, after distributing

was one which was denied to none.
The revised Bible, now that it is

Although it is the work OF the united
scholarship of the churches, and has
been carried on under the initiation and
auspices of the Church of England, the
Episcopal Church Convention, in ses-
sion at New York, has developed
strong opposition to it, and the recent
Presbyterian Council only pointed to
Its chapter provision forbidding it to

Going 1t Blind.

Galveston boasts of the smartest horse
trader in Texas. A purchaser for horse
that he was trying to sell could perceive
no defect in the animal. but still he did
not care to buy. He said to the seller
'The horse seems all right but he
may have some defect can't perceive, -
The seller, who was standing at the
head of the animal, replied:
81 stand between you and any dam
age"
The buyer thought this was sufficient
guarantee. SO he closed the sale. Next
day he came around raving. The seller
was as calm as a May morning. The
irate purchaser said:
81 want my money back. You guar
anteed the horse sound; and l find he
is blind in one eye. You promised to
make good any defect there was about
the horse"
81 did nothing of the kind. If YOU
take me for fool, you are mistaken
1t must have been somebody else.''
What did you tell me when I said
the horse might have some defect /

Professor Preyer, of Jena, who has

coquettish half veil concealing the
frcckles on her nose, and the little rosy
mouth just budding under the edge OF
the veil--oh, you lovely creature but
we must change the subject, for if we
continue to hnger about it there will be
a scandal"
The Galveston lawyers have got a
good laugh on brother attorney who
was defending a colored kleptomaniac

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

There's a wonderful tree-a wonderful tree
The happy children rejoice to see;
Spreading its branches year by year;
ii comes from the forest to flourish here;
Oh, this wonderful tree, with it's branches
wide,
Is always blooming at Christmas-tide-
It's not alone in Summers sheen
Its boughs are broad and its leaves are green;
1t blooms for us when the wild winds blow,
And earth is white with feathery snow;
And this wonderful tree, with its branches
wide,
Bears many gift for the Christmas-tide.
Ills all alight with its tapers' glow,
That glares on the shining eyes below,
And the strange, sweet fruit on each laden
Is all TO be plncked by the gathercrs now.
Oh, this wonderful tree, with its branches
wide,
We hail with joy at the Christmas-tide.
And voice is telling. its boughs among,
OF the shepherds watch and the angels song,
OF a holy Babe in a manager low
The beautiful story of long ago,
When a radiant star threw its beams SO wide,
To herald the earliest Christmas-tide.

Love and Politics.

Not far from Lackawaxen, Pike Coun-
ty, Pa, is the home of two young La
dies, sisters, aged respectively eighteen
and twenty years. They were each re-
ceiving the addresses of lovers, who
were brothers, and both couple were
engaged to be married. twas their in
| tention to celebrate a double wedding
| about the holidays, but now matters
| have changed. A few days ago the four
were sitting together in the parlor at
the girls home when the elder lady ex-
pressed desire TO attend a political
meeting then being held in a. nearby
village. She asked her lover to accom-
pany her. but he refused point blank,
giving as his reason that he was not a
Democrat. The young lady insisted,
but still he refused. Finally She turned
to his brother, who, it seems, was a
Democrat, and asked him to accompany
her. To the surprise of all he at once
consented and they went to the meet
ing. The two who remained at home
were quite indignant, the one at the
conduct of her lover, the other at the
way his sweetheart had acted. The
more they discussed it the angrier they
became. They discovered that they
the ones at home-were both Repub-
lcans, while the two who had gone
were of Democratic proclivities. They
talked on, discovering little by little
of tastes and habits, and
finally resolved each to break with the
old love and form new alliance. No
sooner resolved than the com pact was
ratified by kiss, when by chance the
others entered. The gentleman told
lis brother at once what they had de-
,ided to do. To his great surprise no
'orrow was shown, no anger manifest
I'd, and his wonder was increased when
he was informed that the other couple,
While on their walk home, had resolved
o do just the same thing. The hug
ing. therefore. now goes on as usual,
nd the weddings win take place about
