LITTLE THINGS.

We call him strong who stands unmoyed-
Calm as some tempest beaten rock
when some great trouble hurls its shock
We say of him, his strength is proved
But when the spent storm folds It's wings
How bears he then lifes little things:
About his brow we twine our wreath
Who seeks the battles thickest smoke,
Braves flashing gun and saber stroke,
And SCOTS at ianger, laughs at death;
We praise him till the whole land rings ;
Butts he brave In little things?
We call him great who does some deed
That echo bears from shore to shore.
Dces that, and then does nothing more
Yet would his wors earn richer meed,
When brought before the king of kings,
Were he great In little things?
We closely guard our castle gates
When great temptations lou lily X mock.
Draw every bolt, clinch every lock,
And sternly fold our bars and gates;
Yet some small door wide open swings
At the sly touch Of little things.
can forglve-'tis wor th my while
The treacherous blow, the cruel thrust;
Can bless my foe as Christians must,
While patience smiles her royal smile
Yet quick resentment fiercely sings
Its shots ofire at little things.
And can tread beneath my feet
The hills of passions heaving sea,
When wind-tossed waves roll stormily;
Yet scarce resist the siren sweet
That at my hearts door softly sings
Forget, forget life's little things.n
But what is life? Drops make the sea
And petty cares and small events,
Small causes and small consequences,
Make up the sum for you and me;
Then, oh. Tor strength to meet the stings
That arm the points of little things.

CHRISTMAS TIDE.
| The grandest, sweetest days of al
the year have come New York has
put on her holiday attire, set up ter
times ten thousand little Kings and
Queens within her homes, and laid
millions of toys and treasures at their
feet in glad tribute No sooner had
election day echoes died away than
preparations for Christmas began,
and for month the children have
been uppermost in most peoples
thoughts, while loyal papas, mammas,
sisters, cousins and aunts have sought
out invention after invention, to please
them in the one day on which they
hold undisputed sway in every
household. Nor be it thought that
the children of the very poor have
been forgotten. This big bustling
city has hundreds of sweet faced
women and noble browed men, whose
greatest pleasure in living consists in
looking after the children of penury
and squalor and disease, and hundreds
more of busy men, whose money
bags open wide and jingle merrily
whenever these friends of the poor
come around for aid Oh it would
do your hearts good, and mine too, if
we could count all the tons of coal
and pounds of tea, all the turkeys
and provisions and clothing that have
gone out from the homes of the
well-to-do into the abodes of privation
and want.
And how have enjoyed sitting in
ferry house and depot, aud watching
the boxes and bundles and packages,
long and short, thick aud thin, round,
square and oblong; the carts and
wheelbarrows and sleds that are
borne by the busy people who come
trooping through from factory, office,
and store, bent on the same glad and
glorious mission of bringing happiness
to some waiting and expectant child
In yonder village, by this river and
upon those hills. Why, there isn't
tenderer sight in all the year than
watching those hurrying feet beating
broken and tumultuous time to the
Christmas anthem, swelling in our
hearts and theirs as they trot merrlly
homeward

4 Travelling Crocodile.
London Telegraph.

Some six weeks ago a lively young
crocodile contriyed one night TO make
its escape from Josepha Choilsowa' 5
travelling menageric, and, all the efforts
made to discover its hiding-place in the
neighboring brooks and ponds proving
fruitless, its proprietress, after three
days search, gave it up as irretrievably
lost, and departed on her further pro
fessional rounds.
A month later the smith of Salnau,
a village not far from Kuschwarda,
was strolling home toward evening
through the rain, when he suddenly es-
pied lying in huge puddle on the high
road, what he at first took to be a
drunken man, PROSTATE and helpless.
Upon wading into the mud, with the
charitable intention of extricating the
recumbent one from so miry u bed, he
perceived to his establishment that the
object of his solicitude was the missing
crocodile Nothing daunted, he fast
ened rope round the saurians body
behind its shoulders, and led it along
until he met cart, into which, with
the assistance of the driver, he man
aged to lift it. The crocodile made no
resistance, but followed its captor as
meekly as though it had been a tame
dog tied to a string. On subsequent
examination it was found to have in
creased in size and weight during its
spell of liberty, and to be, for crocO-
die, in excellent health and spirits.
What it had ted upon while roaming
about the country, and how it had kept
out of the cold during the chilly nights
of May and June, are still mysteries tC
its owner, who has joyfully recovered
possession of her truant.

The Story of TiIden's Love.

The story of Tilden's love is the sad
dest page in all the long history Of his
eventful life. Let him tell the people
how, in the first bloom of early man
hood. he was betrothed to beautiful
lady of one of the Oldest families of
New York; how her parents decreed
that on account of her youth she should
spend two years in Europe before her
marriage; how they pledged eternal
fidelity to each other. and registered
their VOWS at parting that no matter
how many years might intervene, each
heart should beat sacredly for the other
until kindlier fate should reunite
them; how tAc loved one sailed away
in the famous but Inflated steamship
President, from which no tidings have
ever yet been brought back; how, annu-
ally, on the day that farewells were
spoken, he repairs to the sea-shore, and
listening to the sad murmur of the
waves, renews his vows; and how,
through all the temp tations that have
come with long life of influence,
wealth and power, the pledge Of his
youth has been faithfully kept and his
heart remains true to his first love
while the wears glide by.
