MY TREE.

WHICH is the best of all the trees?
Answer me, children ALL ii you pleased
Is it the linden. with tassels gay,
Or the willow there where the catkins sWay2
Is it the oak, the king of the wood,
That for hundred years has stood?
The graceful elm, or the stately ash,
Or the aspen, whose leaflets simmer and
flash?
Is it the solemn and gloomy pine,
With its million needles so sharp and fine?
All, no! The tree that love best,
II buds and blossoms not with the rest,
No SUMMER sun on its fruit has smiled,
But ice and snow are around it piled;
But still it will bloom and bear fruit for me,
My winter bloomer! my Christmas-tree!
And it bears its fruit in the queerest wayl
All tied by ribbons to everything,
Big and little, and little and big,
Dolls and trumpets, and balls and bats,
Horses and monkeys and dogs and cats,
Drums and whistles, and guns and whips,
Crying babies and flying ships;
Every conceivable kind of box,
With all conceivable kinds of locks;
Tigers and elephants swinging in air,
Singular fruit for tree to bear!
But SO it blooms and bears fruit for me,
Ny winter bloomerl my Christmas-treel
Elm and linden may both be fair,
But they have no elephants swinging in air;
Ash and maple may gracefully grow,
But they have no flies nor whistles to blow:
The oak may be king of the forest wide,
But he has no parcels with ribbons tied,
No guns, no rattleS, no books, no boats,
No pigs, no li0ns no cows, no goats,
No dolls, no cradles, no skates, no tops,
Nor oranges, candy, or lollipOps;
Nothing that's pretty and nothing that's good
But leaves and acorns, and bark and wood.
So the tree of all others that's best to me
Is my winter boomerl my ChriStmas-tree!

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

THE quality Of the tobacco crop grown
this year is inferior to that of last year.
THE number of telephones in the
United States is estimated to have in
creased from $4,000 last year to 100000
now.
THE Importance of patent royalties is
shown in the shoe trade at Lynn, where
two manufacturers hand over, respective
ly, $4,000 and $4,000 per annum for
the right 10 use sewing machines.
CoTToN raising in the Salt River Val.
ley of Arizona, has proved so successful,
and the Southern Pacific Railroad af-
fords such good facilities for marketing
it, that the valley will probably be added
to the cotton belt of the United States.
THE proof that petroleum sources are
almost worldwide appears to be abund;
ant, and its use would also seem well
nigh coeval with civilization. In one OF
the Ionian Islands there is spring
which has yielded petroleum more than
1900 years. The wells of Armenia, on
the banks of the Faro, were formerly
used for lighting the City of Genoa. In
Persia, too, near the Caspian Sea at
Baku, numerous springs Of petroleum
have been known from the earliest times;
and those of Rangoon, on the Irawaddy,
are said to have yielded, before the gen.
eral introduction of petroleum among
civilized nations, some 10000 hogs
heads of oil per annum.
IT is surprising how quickly the vege.
tation of many countries settled by Eu-
ropeans has been modified. A German
writer, describing the flora of Chill south
of the Valdivia River, states that the
scenery between the Rio Buna and its
winding affluents reminds him very
strongly of home. In the park-like
prairies, associated with deciduous
beeches, are numerous scattering apple
trees, originally introduced from Eu-
rope. The apple tree has spread from
Valdivia to Osorno, and even crossed
the Andes into Northwestern Patagonia,
and spread thence eastward. Indeed, it
has become so widely distributed and so
general, that the Indians from the dis
tant regions of the Argentine rivers, Rio
Negro and Rio Colorado, are called
manzaneros or apple Indians.
hANS DOOhNEh, " SklllIul d6rIudu
experimenter, announces a discovery OF
great interest and Importance in its
bearing upon the theory of evolution.
He has succeeded in transforming one
kind of microscopic fungi, which is a
dangerous agent of disease, into another
kind of fungi which is perfectly harm
less. This remarkable result was reach
ed by continuous treatment Of the fun
gi for six months, during which time
1900 generations were produced. He
was through this process enabled to
transform the bacteria which cause
"milzbrand," the dreaded infamma-
ton of the spleen, into the heupilze, 4"
or harmless fungi of hay, and vice versa.
He also produced an organism, hitherto
unknown, which forms connecting link
between the above named fungi.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

"THEY all come home at Christmas time."-
Charles Dickens.
Build high the fire, let it's good cheer
Fling out ruddy welcome here.
With love and JOY and hope receive
The merry, merry Christmas Evel
Ring out, oh bells your welcome chime,
" They all come home at Christmas time"
Open the doors and let the blaze
Shine out upon their distant ways.
Brothers and sters, parents dear,
Children and children's children here!
Ring, bells, ring out the Christmas chime,
" They all come home at Christmas time"
And they are here, the dead, the dear,
Parted through many a bitter year;
Love lives forever, they have come,
Sit in our h. arts, their sacred home.
From frozen sea or sunlit cline
They all come home ut Christmas-time."
Yes, all are here, though tempest tossed,
In SHARES and sins forever lost;
No vacant place, no empty chair
We see them filed for all are there.
From death, from shame, from grief, from
crime,
" They all come home at Christmas tiIne"

st. Peters Episcopal Church

The APPEAL learns the following
from Rev. M. Davis, Rector of st.
Peters Church, concerning the growth
of the parish during the past three
years: In that time a debt of $4,000
has been paid, and twenty-seven new
members added to the Church. The
attendance has been and is reasonably
good. During the above period there
have been forty-eight baptisms; thirty
marriages +; twenty combinations, and
forty burials. Considering the depres-
sion in all branches of trade and indus
try, the parish was never in a better
condition than at present. 4 new
choir has been formed under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. Dorsey, composed Of the
following young people the Misses
Dorsey, the Misses WATSON, Miss Ella
Greenlaw, Miss Nellie Musgrove, Chris
Zabriskie. Thus far they have rem
dered the music Of the church with
credit to themselves and the satisfac-
ton Of the congre CATION. The church
owes no man anything but good will.
The Rector and members are to be con-
graduated on so good showing, and it
is to be hoped that st. Peters Church
will be an influence for good in Carson
for many years to come.

The Mirror of ireland

Suilivan'S Mirror of Ireland and Irish
Comedy Company will appear at the
Opera House on Wednesday evening
next. The Woodland Mail says in re
gard to the troupe:
Sullivan's scenes and characters pre-
sented at Washington Hall last night
drew large crowd and deservedly so.
There are numerous beautiful paintings
on large scale, representing to the
eye the most noted cities, castles ca
thedrals, seaports, tunnels, lakes, rivers,
craggy heights and wonders of nature as
we'll as art in Ireland, all looking life
like, and as one was beholding them at
short distance from the objects. Then
the songs and dances and apt persona
tions of the Irish maiden and lover and
his German rival were unimitable. The
solos on the instrument called xyllo-
phone were a remarkable success. The
descriptions of the different views were
short, clear and accurate. The per-
formances of different actors from first
to last gave general satisfaction, not ex-
cepting..the fantastic contortiOns of the
face and body Of Simple Simon. The
legenary and allegoricaI pictures of
Ireland in fairy times, in her real
splendor, as a captive in chains and
joined hand in hand with the United
States as Irish patriot which were not
only attractive but elected great ap-
plause, as did nearly all that was said
and done by each actor.

Mode of Com putting Interest.

Multiply any given number of dollars
by the number of days of interest re-
quired, separate the right-hand figure
and divide by six. The result is the
true interest for such number of days
at six per cent. This rule is so simple
and SO true, according to all business
usages, that every banker, broker,
merchant and clerk should post it up
for reference and use. There being no
such thing as a fraction in it, there is
scarcely any liability to error or mis-
take. By no other arithmetical process
can such desired information be OBJ
tanned with Sc few figures.
