A WoMAN's REASON.

q WUMANS REASON,
Why should stake my happy youth,
My days of spring,
Upon mans untested truth
And proffered Ting7
You may praise me for my golden hair,
Ny eyes of blue.
But change o'ertakes the fairest fair
Then what of youl
When all You praise has suffered wrong,
And | am old,
Will love that did to youth belong
My age unfoldi
Since you but prize my smiling eyes
And blushing cheek,
Then breathe no moro your tender signs,
The things you seek
Are but the shadow of q shade,
Will vanish fast,
Mirage, of mists of morning shade,
That cannot last.

The MistletOe,

1t is natural for us to sing when we
are glad, and carol singing once formed
a principal feature at all great feasts or
banguets. But in later times the carol
seems to have been devoted to Christ
mas alone, and when the Yule log was
blazing brightly upon the wide hearth,
and the green mistletoe boughs hung
from the wall and decorated windows
and doors, the wassail-bowl was filled
to overfiowing, and true friends pledged
each other with a joyful Christmas
song; and under the mistleto boughs the
young people Joined hands in the old
fashioned dance and chanted blitLe
carol to which their feet kept time.
We, of modern days, have little idea
of the rare virtues which were once ap-
propriated to the mistletoe. He who
hung mistletoe around his neck believed
that the witches would have no power
to harm him, and that was truly a cop-
Portable thought in days when the firm
belief in witches was almost universal.
The Druids and the Celtic nations at
tributed the most valuable medicinal
properties to the mistletO, calling it all
heal In Wales it was known as
'guidhel.'

A WOman's WAY.

Now that diptheria is so unusually
prevalent there may be some good in the
following method of treatment prescri-
bed by lady who says she has cured
her six children by it:
"Take a slice of fat bacon-side meat
the older the better; sew it on a soft
piece of flannel, then saturate it with
coal (petroleum) oil. Place it on the
neck, having the meat reach from ear to
ear. After pounding several raw onions
into poultice place enough in the pa
tiert's stockings to cover the soles. of
the feet and have the patient put the
stockings on. The poultice must be
warm in order not to chill the patient.
The throat should then be gargled with
some tomato catsup, strong with red
pepper, salt and vinegar, or pepper salt
and vinegar shaken together will do. If
the patient is too young to gargle, wet
the throat with few drops. If vomit-
ing occurs lime water purchased at a
drug store, with directions, should be
given. Be sure to cause an irritation of
the neck"

My SISTERS GRAPES
BY THE AUTHOR OF JOHN HALIFAX,
GENTLEMAN"

Perhaps you might not think Uncle
Dick a "gentleman"-Aunt Emma did
not, l know, though she kept her mind
to herself, being his brothers widow, ,and
the prudent mother of many children.
Uncle Dick lived with them that is, if he
could be said to live anywhere, being
always on the move, never liking to stay
| long in one place, land somewhat restless
minded, as those are who have passed
all their life in rambling about the
world. A rolling stone" he certainly
was, though he could scarcely be said to
have gathered no moss, as he had amass-
ed two fortunes, one after the other;
having lost the first, he was now enjoy
ing the second in his own harmless but
rather eccentric way.
/ doubt if Aunt Emma really liked
him, her chief complaint being that he
never would take his position in the
world; that is, he avoided her balls,
made himself scarce at her dinner par
ties, and no persuasion could ever in
duce him to exhibit his long. thin. gaunt
figure, his brown hands and face, i'll eve
ming clothes. What a "guy" he would
have looked in them! as we boys always
agreed, and sympathized with him, and
not with Aunt Emma. But in his own
costume we admired him immensely.
His shooting-jacket,K KnickerbOckers, ,and
Panama hat were to us the perfection of
comfort and elegance.
As to his cleverness, that also was a
disputed point with some folk. But we
never had any doubt at all. And per-
haps we were right. ga fool and his
money are soon parted" says the pro-
verb. But when they part to meet
again-that is, when man can bear the
loss of one fortune, and set to work
to make another-the chances are
without any exaggerated MammOn-
worship 1 say it) that he is not fool.
"Yes, l have really made two fortunes" !"
said Uncle Dick, as we sat beguiling a
sunshiny day, when the fish refused to
bite, by plying him with innumerable
questions, till at last he "rose" like a
| trout at fly. "How old was | when
lost the first one? Well, about twenty
five. Yes, remember it happened on
my birthday, Michaelmas-day."
Happened all in one dayY" some of
us inquired.
"Ay, in day, an hour, minute" said
Uncle Dick, with his peculiar smile, half
sad, half droll, as if he saw at Lnce all
the fun and all the pathOs of life. "And
now l remember it was not in the day,
but in the middle of the night. L went
to sleep rich man; by daylight 1 was a
beggar Any more questions, boysw
OF course we raiAed them upon him
by the dozen. He sat cOmposedly,
watching his float swim down the stream,
and answered none for ever so long

The PRECIOUS Metals.

/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-It was ascer-
tanned at the Bureau of the Mint to-day
that the Mines of the United States
have produced during the last seven
years about $2sO,OOO,OOO of gold and
S271 100000 of silver, an average pro-
duction during that time of S4o,O00,0O0
of gold and S38,75O,O00 of silver per an
mum. About 951s per cent of the gold
and 6OA per cent of the silver found its
way to the mints and essay offices to be
converted into coin or bars. The Direc-
tor of the Mint, from a careful consid-
Grafton of all the data at his command,
estimates that the amount of domestic
bullion used in the arts and manufac-
lures during the last fiscal year was
about $5,5O0,0OO of gold and $4,OOO,O0O
of silver and that the total consumption
in all forms was about $1O,000,O00 in
gold and SIS, 100000 in silver.

TAE earliest mode of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster-shells, stones, ivory,
bark and leaves of trees; and from the
latter the term "leaves of trees" is prob
ably derived. Copper and brass plates
were very early in use, and bill of
feoffment on copper was some years since
discovered in India, bearing date 100
years b. c. Leather was also used, as
well as wooden tablets. Then the papy-
rus came into vogue, and abont the
eighth century the papyrus was super
seded by parchment. Paper, however,
is of great antiquity, especially among
the Chinese; but the first paper mill in
England was built in 1888 by German,
at hartford, tn Kent Nevertheless, it
was nearly century and a half-name-
", in 1713-before Thomas Watkins, a
stationer, brought paper making to any
thing like perfection. The first approach
to pen was the stylus, kind of iron
bodkin, but the Romans forbade its use
on account of its frequent and even IA
tai use in quarrels, and then it was made
of bone. Subsequently, reeds, pointed
and split, like pens as in the present
day, were used.

Under the Christmas Sky.
BY HELEN NJ. COOKE.

Out in the cold they hunger and shiver
Dear little children with brave human
hearts;
Where is the comfort His pity imparts
Wrapped in the folds of comfortabl,
clothing,
Dear little children, with sweet, ten
der eyes,
Gaze for moment, then turn away
l0athing.
Under these wonderful, glad Christina:
skies.
Under the burden of sin and of sorrow
Is there hand that is hidden and
warm?
Is there a sun that will rise on the
morrow,
Over the clouds of misfortune anG
storm?
Out from the mold will the daisies and
clover
Into perfection of color and grace,
Spring in their perfume, to glad the
world over?

-Yonkers Gazette.
Proud bird of the barnyard, blithesome
and free,
A murderous bludgeon is lowering e'er
A fleet footed urchin, hard hearted
bub,
Will hit thee rap with more'n stuffed
club.
Make the most of thy time, for soon
thou'lt be caught,
And thy own precious head to the block
ii be brought.
Then gObblel and gobble! and gobble
away;
Thyself will be gobbled on Christmas
Day.
A rest to thy soul and peace to thy
ashes;
A dinner thoult make and sundry
cheap hashes;
A breakfast, perhaps, and light sup
per, too,
And then be dissolved in thin carcass
stew.
A loud and laughing welcome to the
merry Christmas bells,
All hail with happy gladness the well
known chant that swells;
We list the pealing anthem chord, we
hear the midnight strain,
And love the tidings that proclaim a
Christmas tide again.
But there must be a melody of purer,
deeper sound,
A rich key note, whose echo, runs
through all the music round;
Let kindly voices ring beneath low root
or palace dome,
For those alone are Christmas chimes
that bless Chistmas Home.
Write, "This is baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here,
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby,
And now, before you go,
Just cram her stockings with goodies,
From the top clear down to the toe. y
Here's Christmas-let us boldly greet
him,
We may as well, for none can cheat
him;
He will steal on and silly sprinkle
The first gray hair. and first faint
wrinkle.
And yet methinks it little matters,
What seed of Ruin-mOSS he scatters,
So that amid it we contrive
To keen Truth's haart-ease still alive
Within our breast.
