without the expense and fatigue attendant
upon journey to that interesting country.
Mr.. Harry w. French will lecture on the

Der of beautiful dissolving views, illustrated

A SURPRISED ALpERMAN.-On Thursday,
Rolon c. Irish, overseer of the weaving
room at the Sprague mills in this city, was
made happy by receiving from the operatives
the following tokens, showing the esteem in
which he is held by them-a splendid secre.
tary, a pair Of steelyards, and mouse-trap.
The partner Of his joys and sorrows was also
made happy, not only by sharing the pleas
ure of her husband, but by being the recip-
lent of beautiful silver castor from the same
source. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Irish were COM
pletely surprised-the latter using her ut
most endeavors to convince Mr.. Knowlton
who delivered the goods, that he had made
mistake and brought the things to the wrong
house. Such surprises are very pleasant,
showing that friendly feelings exist between
the overseer and the operatives. We see no
reason now why Mr.. Irish cannot now reply
to correspondents, administer justice in equal
poise, and get rid of his rats and mice.

The Rural New Yorker has the follow
ing encouraging and appreciative words
for business men who have entered into
farming: "A business man, whose knowl-
edge is varied as regards everything bat
farm work, whose mind has been trained
to the methodical and accurate WAYS Of
business. takes a farm and in q short time
reduces its Irregularities to order, its work
to system. and its conduct to profitable
result. He succeeds by virtue of these
business methods. which have made the
acquisition of practical knowledge
easy. and have given habit of scanning,
with the greatest carefulness, every ex-
penditure. and of suddenly stopping every
leak through which profits might be frit-
tered away. The best of improved stock,
improved implements. drainage. the best
arranged buildings. improved plants and
seeds. effective fertilizers and the most
improved methods have many of them
been introduced into farm practice by bus
mess men who have become farmers. but
who meanwhile have suffered derision
and detraction at the hands OF those who
were glad afterwards to benefit by their
example,"

The earth res0unds,
The song the angels sang,
In Shepherds ears,
Rises above alarms,
Silences Tears.
And slowly, through the strife,
Cometh the peace
Promised to be at last
When wars shall cease,
And brightly, through the dark

Shine gen'rous actions done
To meet mems needs.
SO all our gladness springs
From that great gift
Which the first Christmas day
To earth has left;
Thus all our days this gift
With joy may I'LL.
As reign still in the heart
