chimney, and tonight the children were
skipping to bed as they cried, PA, we'll
hang up our stockings" and Mrs. Pace
said she would hang hers up too.
''Al right, )" said Ned, ''let ma hang hers
up''. ,
Next morning all were splendidly filled
and the little ones delighted, but ma g
seemed dolefully empty, and she looked
rather disappointed that it was SO.
'sLook In it good. my DEAR" said Ned,
II didn't forget you.''
She did look, and there in the bottom
of the stocking vas neat little note. nice
ly folded, and reading in these Words:
II present my wife with sober hus-

THE richest gift of all" she cried.
So let mothers everywhere hang up their
stockings and may the heads of the house

It appears very much as il an effort was
being made to again draw Democratic Re-
adjusters into the same disastrous trap
into which fell the 18th Of July electoral
ticket last Novamber-the trap of i'm
aginary allies. The Richm olAd .."Whig"
seems to have been imposed upon to this
end. Some days ago report was sent to
it purporting to be the proceedings OF
Republican meeting in Campbell county,
presided over by Dabney Logwocd, at
which resolutions were adopted expressing
their determination to act with the Read
justers hereafter. The "Whig" published
it and now Logwood comes out in card
denying that. there was ever any such
meeting held. The Baltimore "Ameri-
cans (which has considerably changed its
tune since the Presidential election devel
oped eighty-four thousand Republican
votes in Virginia with the Independents
ticket at the tail end of the race) crediting
the report as genuine strongly condemned
the reported action, which brought this
card from the Secretary of the Virginia
Republican State Exeeutlvs Committee:
