DAYLIGHT

A shining arrow, swift and keen,
The young and eager morn lets ny,-
A shaft to pierce the pallid dawn.
And part the curtains OF the sky;
The frosty easement, glimmering chill,
Across the shadowy room see,
When, with the first awakening thrill,
MESA re comes to me.
Without, the cold gray hills stand fast
Before the silver rim Of heaven,
Within, the shuddering night is passed.
And light and hope are freely given;
gaze, and lift my soul in prayer,
Awed by the solemn stress of morn,
For, 10! the immortal Day is here
To us Child is born!
We slept beneath the ban Of night,
Whose seal on brow and eyelids lay,
But with the dawn receive our sight,
And hail the Christ at break of day!
On yonder hight we see her rise
The morning pas ionless and pale;
Our Priestess. with the vcstal eyes
Behind the twilight veil.
leave the childish voices mute.
Whose Christmas greetings sweeter chime,
And steal below with noiseless foot,
To seek alone the household shrine;
The he2rth is cold, the altar bare,
But gifts and tokens piled above
Attest the old-time offering there,
The sacrifice of love.
4 STIR, a whisper overheard.
4 pattering sound of baby feet;
A burst Of stihed laughter led
BY voices ringing sweet;
The wintry twilight slips away
And leaves my silent homage done;
While forward leaps the cxultant day
Touched ~ the rising sun!
What eyes the holy vigil kept,
What band prepared the Christmas cheer,
While still the yotive maidens slept
The hallow d hour drew near?
Beyond Our ken the mystery lies,
Tho love Divine we dare not say;
Yet hearts BY human love made wise
May we'come Christmas Day!
-Good Comiany. Elaine Goo:lale.

the FjREsiOE H7ISTMAS,
TWILIGHT.


Atween the daylight and the night,
watch the swiftly fading light
That Dip the hemlock's shade more deep,
And makes the wreathed ivies creep
In heavier masses round thu doors,
While 'cros% the timc-worn oaken floors
The wavaring lines Of r.ight fly
From fires Of Christmas revelry.
Tho stockings by the chimney.side,
The generous logs that heap it wide,
Stir memories that bring again
The long-loet Joy and hope and pain;
These with unhecding eyes we see
About the gistening Christmas tree
For far-of years stand silent by,
Nor mingle with the revelry.
The radiant earth sleeps clad In white,
But Christmas cheer hath Christmas night
The woodland Odors on the air
Work their sweet spell t. Danish care.
And in the Joy Of childhood's play
Our hearts break blossom and are gay
The sweetness of life's cup we try
With merry Christmas revelry.
Rich are the stones Of garnered time;
High beats the pulse Of need sublime;
Strong is the comradeship of years;
Keen is the fellowship of tears;
None are forgot, our love is Strong
And does the present hour no wrong,
Tho voiceless faces linger nigh
And share our Christmas reyelry.
Mrs. D. Il. II. Goodale.

LAMPLIGHT,

While the Christmas bells are ringing,
And the tapers burning clear,
Join us, friends and travellers, bringing
Music for the passing year;
We have borne the wiatry weather,
Wind and storm we would not miss,
We will now be glad together
Drink TO health and happiness!
Hear the merry slcish-bells jingle
Clear above tho creaking snow,
While our pulses leap and ting'e,
Fancy following where they go;
Other errands we are finding,
For our thought is one, beneath
Many right good wishes binding
In the magic holly wreath.
We were with them, gaily, kindly,
And their burden one with ours;
We forsake our sorrow, blindly,
Cover up our grief with flowers;
Clasp We hands above our altar,
Thus forget conscious wrong.
Tho our happy voices faltcr
In the oldtime Christ mas song!

man! How they told stories and laughed,
while the children kept Norah up stairs;
and everybody declared it was nicer to
live just little way out of town, and
then people could stay all night. The
Dooleys were to stay over Christmas;
and one day Sandy and the children we're
going for a tree, taking an open wagon to
bring it home in. It was lovely morn
ing when they left the house for their
ride of five miles, and everybody was in
high glee; for Mrs. Winnerton went too,
to keep the children in order, and little
Norah sat close by her side.
At last they came to the woods, and
every one began searching for pretty
tree; for there was no snow on the ground
and it was great fun to run about ano
hear the leaves rustic.
Norah was delighted. Sometimes she
screamed with pleasure, and again she
would sit, apparently thinking. Once,
when she had been quite long time
pulling leaves to pieces, Mrs. Winnerto1
asked, kindly, "what she was thinking

4 SOUND FINANCIAL RECORD.

The Republican party has no occasion to
fear discussion or action on the financial
issues. If there are Republican members who
wish to avoid those questions, it should he
fully understood that they therein represent a
personal ana private interest, and not that of
a marty. 1t is true that there are members
who feel particularly anxious, whenever any
measure of financial character is pending,
because they believe that the Greenback party
stin has great strength. to help or to hurt, in
their districts. In some cases, they may be
right; in many more, they are undoubtedly
mistaken. The GreeDback force has dwinded
wonderfully since the last election. The con-
dillon of business has worked against it; the
temper of the people has been adverse and
especially, the evidence of close alliance be-
tween the Greenbacll leaders and the Bourbon
Democrats in Maine and elsewhere, and the
narticipafiOn of Greenback partisans in the
infamous attempt to rob the people in Maine,
have gone far to disgust former Republicans
with that faction. AT the last election its vote
was small in comparison with its vote
at the elections preceding, and the events
which have since occurred have undoubtedly
diminished very materially the slender
strength which the Greenback party could
then command. Republicans who were drawn
into ASSOCIATION with the Greenback party
have become ashamed of their new leaders,
their Wild predictions and fallacious promises,
their utilization with the most dangerous and
disloyal elements, and their participation in
the most dishonest and revolutionary schemes.
1t seems safe to say that. if new elections
should be held to- day, the vote of the Green
back party would hardly appear except among
the scattering.
In some districts, nevertheless, Republicans
are timid They fear that fanatical and
revolutionary notions may still sway many
votes, as in times past. They do not dare to
vote on any financial question, because of the
supposed influence of false ideas among their
constituents. The position of these members
il not creditable to the Republican party. 1t
constantly INJURIES that party in the very East
ern States upon which the next election will
turn. Without wrongful intention, often and
perhaps unconsciously, these men are doing
what they can to defeat the party of their
choice or are deliberately sacrificing its
chances of National success for the
sake of their private advantage. Fol
| the party as whole has great reason to
be proud of It's position and record on tinan-
cial questions. 1t has every reason to court
free and full discussion Oh such issues. Vic
tory surely will reward it, if the party adj
heres firmly and manfully to the honorable
course which its pledges and its past acts
| have marked out for it.
| When Democratic members refuse to vote
upon wild and reckless proposition such as
that of Mr.. Weaver. of Iowa. their hesitation
can be understood. They have behind them
party which is full Of hostility to the public

MUSIC.
THE PIRATEs IN PHILApELpHIA.


Gilbert and Suvan's opcretta, " Tie Pirates Of
Penzance,' was produced in Philadelphia on Mon
day evening, and met with instant and brilliant
success. The occasion seemed to have acquired a
certain social Importance. and the theatre was
crowded to the roof with the best known members
of Philadelphia society. For a first night
the performance was uncommonly smooth
Three of the company that has been play
ing in New-York took part in it--Miss Bran
dram, Mr.. Hugh Talbot and Mr.. Furneaux
Cook, the first two taking the same parts that they
have had before ruth and Frederic, and Mr.. Cook
having Mr.. Ciftons part as the Sergeant Of Police.
Miss Sallie Reber was the Mabel. The music suits
her voice, and her acting Is smooth and graceful.
Mr.. Talbot did excellenty-better than we have
heard him in New-York and Mr.. Cook made a
great hit with the part of the Sergeant. The new
members of the cOmpany-the Pirate King. his Lieu
tenant and the rest--have good voices, and their
work promises well, though it is still rough and un
finished.
The piece was received with the greatest enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Sullivan, who conducted the perform
ance was met on his appearance in the orchestra
with such applause that the music could not go on
for nearly five minutes. and Mr.. Gilbert, who was
called before the curtain between the acts, had
reception that was ii possible. more enthusiastic
than his fellow workers. The Pirates" had an
unqualified success and its tour through the
country has begun most auspiciOusly.

THE UNPEcOGNIZED WEAVER.

To DOOR Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, full of things
about the currency which he deems it abso-
lutely necessary to get before Congress and
the country before his fast-ebbing Off
cial life should have utterly gone
out. the conduct of Speaker Randall
must by this time begin to seem like
something more than assembling of love ;
very like indeed the kicking down stairs COM
planned of by the poet. Mr.. Weaver, as is now
well known, though after this session it bids
fair TO be very soon and very much forgotten,
represents what may be called the ad-
vanced thinkers in finance. That is to say,
they have thought so far In advance Of old
fashioned systems and old-fashioned ways
that not creditor or a note, or anything that
demands payment, can catch up with them.
Their idea is that If You only think thing
is good, it is good; only have faith that
a piece of paper is dollar and it is dollar.
You cannot advance much beyond that in
mere thinking. Any man who gives prom
issory note and thinks that's the end of it,
may properly be called an advanced thinker.
There has always been more or less OF this

No one will gTudge the late Commissioner oil
Indian Affairs an opportunity to defend him
self against the recent verdict of the Board
of Indian Commissioners, but his best friends
must regret. after reading the letter we print
elsewhere, that he did not put the opportunity
to better use. II will not help Mr.. Hayts
position before the public to abuse General
Fisk; nor is it absolute proof of Innocence to
charge that the removal was the work OF the
Indian Ring; nor does it destroy the report o
the Committee to allege that certain evidence
(pparently that of Inspector Hammond, given
in the Commissioners presence, was aferWard
expunged from the record and subsequent
testimony by the same witness, not given III
the Commissioners presence, substituted,
though such proceeding might be Irregular.
The only portion Of Mr.. Hayt's letter which
is worthy of attention is that in which he
seeks TO prove that there was no delay OF
lemency in dealing with Agent Harris case.
There is not space here to go into the details
of these points, hut no one who has followed
the inquiry throughout will find his
faith IN the Boards findings shaken. The
most significant feature of the letter is its
important omissions. The conclusive fact
against MI. Ile1J was VIZ S"'S VI WV @AA"'''"
Mine at cheapened figure to some of his
intimate friends, through the active mediation
of his own son, travelling under an assumed
name, stated to have been assumed at his
fathers suggestion. This was not legal
proof of ownership or interest on Mr.
Hayt's part but to the minds of honest
men. who do not travel under assumed names,
it was proof of wrong of some sort. Will 1t
be believed that Mr.. Hayt absolutely ignores
all of this portion Of the Boards report
