The Reindeer.

The reindeer, which in one way or another
manages to be almost the entire support of
the Lapps who have herds, is a large, heavy
ANIMAL with remarkable independence of
character. He will not accept shelter under
cover, no matter how inclement the weather
may be. Neither will he eat any food that is
offered; he prefers to seek his own sustenance,
which consists principally of peculiar moss,
and as this grows very slowly, requiring
about seven years in which to reach maturi,
ty, the Lapp must shift his home from time to
time to meet the necessities ofhis herd In,
midwinter the moss may be covered by
several feet of snow, but the deer digs a hole
with his feet, and disappears from the surface
burrowing bis way through the snow as he
follows his nose from one tuft of moss to
another The flesh of the reindeer is quite
palatable and nutritious, his skin makes very
warm garments us well as durable harness,
and cheese made ofreindeer milk is very rich,
although the quantity of milk yielded per
day seems scarcely worth the taking, as it
amounts to mere teacupful.

Confidence in Self.

Rely on yourself; take it for granted that
you can accomplish your plans. Never say
| can't-thcy are ignoble words. He who
does not feel within himself the power to con-
quer fate, is not man in the true sense ofthe
word. Of course it is misfortune for him,
since he can never be of any benefit to him
self anybody else. Heaven help the woman
who marries him.
Somebody says, "Oh, don't like these self
conceited folksH' My friend, self-conceit and
selfconfdence are two qualities as different as
light and darkness although the self conceit-
ed man may not be the most agreeable ofcom-
panions, we intintely pre- er him to the creep.

Uriah Heap, spends his life in trying to be

The man who says, II will do it |" who says
it from his heart and means it, too-who bends
his whole energy to work, will almost al
ways accomplish it; and then people call
him lucky and successful, and all that sort of
thing, when, in fact, his luck has been
brought about by his own persevering efforts,
and by his Conscience in himself Fortune

be conquered by trifles is his prime favorite

SeasOnable Thoughts.

We can get along without William Tell we

or any other shape in which the Christ

different nations. Always the fancy OF the

bad children have wholesome effect in max
ing boys and girls more gentle and less sell
fish. And yet it is surprising that the little
child philosophers in our homes, so curious
about other things, do not ask more puzzling
questions about this Why do they not want
to know how Santa Claus makes his way
down the narrow chimneys of our modern
houses, or what his feelings are when he
finds nm alright stove at the bottom, or
what becomes of him when there is no OPEN
ing to the chimney short of the furnace 1t
is well that such questions are not agtated -
The Santa claus legend, to be sure, was meant

old time, but let the little people, none the
less, go on pinning up their stockings wher-
ever they can find the most convenient place
and trust that they will be found and filled.

THE ORIGIN OF GIFT GIvING-Christma
gifts, had their origin in the Roman Pagana-
liza, which was instituted by Servius Tullius,
B. G. $50 On these festivals, celebrated at the
beginning of the year, an altar was erected in
every village, and to the box placed upon it
every man, woman and child was expected to
contribute coin. Aubrey speaks Of pot in
which Roman coins were found, and suppos-
ed to be one of these Paganalian vessels
The Christmas box naturally arose from this
pagan New Years box. There isan impress
sive propriety and tender beauty, however, in
thus concentrating the event which gave q
Divine Redeemer to lost world, the greatest
gift that is conceivable to mankind 1t is
moreover, an equally appropriate custom
which makes the season one not only of COM
posing and forgetting old quarrels and renew
ing and confirming friendships, but for a uni
versal manifestation of generosity and charity
from the rich to the poor-in olden times this
beneficence being extended even to the lower
animals, practice to which Burns alludes in.

Mr.. john F. MARsHALL:
Dear Sir-This is to certify that have used the
Popplein Silicated Phosphate bought of you for
two years past on my entire range of truck and
the results have been highly satisfactory. 1t is
have used several standard brands have tested
it beside good compost from my hen-house, and
find where used the Poppein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, and the fruit is of a superior quail
ty. Where used it on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put. Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection.
Very truly, JOSEPH STEBBING.

Gentlemen-lh have used your Fertilizer for four
years past on the entire range of field and garden
crops, and always with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
/ have found it especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar BEES, and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that, in strong
competition, received six first premiums at the
last fair of the Peninsula Agricultural and Po-

play of root crops. The splendid mechanical con-
dition in which your Fertilizer is furnished, and
analysis in the State Laboratory of Delaware

THE ANGELS. SONG.


BY EDMUND HAMILTON SEARS.
1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From heavens all gracious King"
The world In solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
TWO thousand years of wrong:
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring.
Oh, hush the noise, ye men of strife.
And hear the angels sing!
And We, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and Slow
Look now; for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
On, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For, 10! the days are Fastening on
BY prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-crcling years
Come round the age of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Astronomers are on the lookout for the
Star of Bethlehem, last seen in 1872, when it
shone so brightly as to be visible at noon
day, then fading away assumed various hues
until it disappeared, This wonderful star is
believed to have been seen in 1864 and 025,
and its apparent period extended backward
would indicate that it appeared about the
time of the birth of Christ. Hence It's name

The Inaugural.

The inaugural address of President
Garfield has the true ring in it, II is bold.
outspoken and sound in doctrine. and will
be approved by every true republican in
the broad land. In regard to equal rights
the President speaks emphatically, and in
favor of free suffrage, also Of the benefits
which emancipation has conferred upon
the colored people. He pleads that the
results Of the war may be accepted and
peace and harmony reign between the
North and South. This he believes will
soon take place to the great benefit Of
both sections. OF the blessings Of a return
to specie payments he speaks freely. APP
proving our present currency with the
exception Of the silver coinage which he
would see brought up so it may circulate
equally with gold. He is in favor Of
refundinp the national Indebtedness at
low rate of interest. but not in such manner
as to destroy the national banking system.
which he thinks should be maintained.
His remarks in favor of giving more at
tention to agriculture by the government
are wise and crcditable 10 him. He strikes
at Mormonism a heavy blow. in which
there is meaning. In regard to the civil
service his remarks will meet with general
acceptance. We have no space for COM
ment, but heartily endorse this first utter
ance Of the new President. and bespeak
for it careful and thoughtful perusal by
all the readers Of the Journal.
