AN INsINUATIoN.-
A disgraceful scene was witnessed on
our streets Sunday afternoon. An old,
gray-haired man, respectfully dressed
came staggering in from the country so
beasfly drunk that he could hardly keep
his feet. The tangle-foot he had placed
away under his vest was evidently of the
worst kind as his legs twisted and turned
in all directions. Judging from his con-
dition it was evident that he procured
the "vile intoxicant" not more than forty
three miles from our city, and. as he
came in on the Mount Holly road, per-
haps had receives sniff of the breeze
waited from that direcsion.--Bsvsrly Ban

All throughout the. house to-day?
Everywhere . merry scurry,
Everywhere a sound of play,
Something, too, g the matter, matter,
Out-ol-dOors as we'll as in,
For the bell goes CHATTER, clstser,
Everv minute such din!
Everybody winking, blinking,
In . queer, mysterious wsy;
What on earth can they be thinking,
What on earth can be 10 paw,
Bobby peeping DER the stairway,
Bursts into little shout;
Kitty, too, is in fair way,
Where she hides, to giggle out.
As the bell goes cliug-a-ling-ing
Every minute more and more,
And swift ieet 60 springing, springing.
Through the hallway to the door,
Where glimpse of box and packet,
And little rustic. rustic,
Makes such sight and sound and racket
Such 4 jolly hustle, hustle
That the youngsters in their places,
Hiding slyly on. of sight,
All at once show shining faces,
All at once scream with delight.
Go and ask them what's the matter,
What the fun outside and in
What the meaning of the CHATTER,
What the hustle and the din
Hear them, hear them, laugh and shout
then,
All together hear them say.

Not to know its Christmas day?'
