Fatal Collision ofTrains.

Richmond, Va, December ga
collision of trains occurred last night at
eight minutes after midnight on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway by which
five men were killed and two wounded.
1t appears that the west bound express
train, which left Richmond at 4 p. M,
after passing MILLION station aboutthree
miles, going at the rate of 35 miles an
llulr, WAS run into by freight train,
which was running on the passenger
train time, causingthe casualties above
mentioned and badly wrecking both en-
gines and baggage and accommodation
ears The killed are Chris G. Leach,
engineer OF passenger train; John Wal,
sop, baggagemaster; J.. L. Loving and
J. Il. O'Neill, firemen, and George r.
NetherIand, brakeman of passenger
train. Wounded: L. Hogshead, express
messenger; ]. w. Hockswork, passeii-
ger, OF Milton, W. Va, both slightly.
The cause, as stated, was due TO the
freight train being thirty-fse minutes
behind, and Of course was running on
express train time. The conductor Of
the freight train claims that his watch
was over half an hour slow.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
Hail, Holy Day /!

When into earth WIS bon, mighty Prince,
Royal scion of Judas mighty race,
Whose birth was signnled BY no blazing
torch
Or booming cannon, with its Numbering
But forth from out the Heaven flashed star
Which shamed the glitterlng host, whose fa-
ces failed
Before its bright effulgence.
Blest signal thai, to those who watching,
The import, and with great exceeding JOY
Made ready precious gifts, frank incense,
Gold, mylrah, and with overflowing hearts
Did't bend thefrsteps to where the blazing
Hovered in glory over the new born Christ.
Blow softly winds, and wait the tidings glad
To earths remotest isle. Come forth, bright
sun
And drop the robe OF light DER hill and dell
Unlock the brooks, that their sweet muir
mering sound
May swell the anthem wild, which ushers In
And We, sweet birds, though re't OF whispering
boughs,
Seek out some sunny nook where MOSES
With velvet sheen doth woe thy naked feet
And tune thy gushing harmonies % praise.
Peace, peace We swelling W yes, let no rude
Awake to wrath thy depths Of mystery;
Let the hoarse murm rings OF thy ocean song
Be soft and low, and deep as thoughts which
Stir
The human heart with love, and joy, and
praise
Unutterable. Safely on thy breast
Bear every bark, which to thy brcezes soft
Her snowy sail uniurls, and proudly walks
Undaunted, empress of boundless sea.
And We gay revelers whose festal boards
Up bear the dainties of each tropic isle
With urn and vase heap high with luscious
fruit
And chalace, brimmed with winel whose
ruby lips
Tell of sunny cline, and vintage long,
Forget not in your mirth and Joy, the poor,
The suffering and oppressed. 10 such belong
Let love and charity link bands-go forth
Amid the haunts OF gaunt eyed poverty,
When mirth and song will follow In their
And Angel hands record each simple gift,
"Treasureslaid w in Heaven
Let little children feel this day the best
OF all which drops from Times revolving
A carnival OF glad and joyous things,
When esrth hath Welded up her harvest full,
And golden sheaves lie heaped In sheltered
When safely housed from ev'ry shiv'ring
They turn to blazing hearths and loving
hearts
Brim-fuIl of mirth, of Innocence and JOY.
Let ev'ry heart rejoice, let earth be glad
And holy Angels strike their golden Tyres,
While each viprati. n, rich with symphonies
Floating through peariy gates, is earth-ward
borne,
And quick the strain caught up each thrill

Quivers with eladness that to us is born

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington, Dec, %, 1882.
For d reason not difficult to discover
tbare is not the usual amount of holiday

be holiday adjournment or not. All

sion Of Christmas dissipation and revels.
Departmental, as well as legislative work,
is much behind hand. There is no rea-
son that it should be 50. Idleness, and

Children's Logic.

S. B. H., in the August Century.
When one comes to consider how
early little child learns the exact
meanings of prepositions-for in
stance, how seldom they misunder-
stand the relations expressed by the
very words that we find it difficult to
define accurately-it is indeed a
cause for wonder. This is not mere
parrotslike repetition of lesson, as
any one who has ever closely observ-
ed child learning to speak knows,
There is in the process an exercise of
severe logic that puts to shame the
cratic infections of our language.
Children, for example, show un;>
versal disposition to compare adiect-
ives and adverbs, as we'll as to conju-
gate verbs, regularly. Before child
says, Il am gooder than was, mann
ma" he has observed the ordinary
form of the comparative, he has gems
eralized his observation, and applied
his generalization to a new word.
This may be done unconscious
ly-it almost certainly is SO
done; but the result in either
case is reached after the manner of a
rational being-by processes of pure
reasoning, and not through mere
parrot-like imitation. And this rea~
soning is the work of a mind in the
earliest stages of its Development
perhaps by baby not two years old
Indeed, the tumble that children
make of their talk is often the result
OF an attempt to throw reason
overheard and. to conform to the
''idiotisms' of the English language.
The effect is sometimes too much for
them, and they struggle along in the
profoundest absurdities. One Of
my own children, when she was IN
der three years of age, was taken to
the photographers. She heard us
say, on looking at the negative, that
she had moved, and piped up, "Mam-
ma, if you want me to sit little
more stiller, 1 will try a little more
harder, but 1 did try next to the
hardest.
Too often the lagical faculty in
children is smothered to death; they
are born with latent reasoning pow>
ers, that follow the observing powers
naturally in the course of develop
ment, If they are not destroyed.
Too often the whole training of the
nursery aud the school is directed
toward eliminating the reasoning
powers and making of children mere
monkeys or mere parrots. They
ought of course to be set right when
they are wrong, but such an evidence
of the exercise of reason as / have
just been speaking of, in the regular
conjugation OF verbs or comparison
of adjectives, should neither be
treated as the cunning" ways of the
baby and encouraged, nor as the ig
norance of the older child aud I'M
conditionally reproved. Do not crush
out the little tender bud of rational
thought which is just pushing its
way into the air and light, either in
| sport OF in contempt. Do not try,
on the other hand, to force it be>
You'd its natural growth; just let the
logical faculty develop in its own
time, and in the natural way, watch
ing it, guiding it, clipping it where
it needs, but cherishing it as the
quality which separates your child
on the intellectual side from the
brutes.
