The Bituminous Coal Trade.

The New York Coal Trade Journal says:
Bituminous trade along the seaboard is
not at all active, and there is not likely to
be any great stir in this branch of trade
until the spring tolls are fixed, say in an
other month. Cumberland output keeps
Clearfield. Both districts are ahead of last
year, and that was an extraordinary year
for tonnage. An address has been sent
from the Knights of Labor in the Cumber-
land region to the men in the Clearfeld,
asking them to demand the same rate of
digging-sixty-fve cents per ton. We
hardly suppose that this demand would be
successful, even if the Clearfeld men were
to fall in with the Cumberland; the rate
in Cumberland district should be put on a
par with Clearfeld. The old idea of there
being less work in one district than in the
other has been brushed aside in the march
of events"

termination shall be conclusive on ques-
tions of fact or of State law in the counting

make regulations for the meeting of the
two Houses in joint convention, and
provides that when an objection

the Hon. David Dudley Field, who will
submit an argument in its favor.

Down In the Sea.

Down In the sea Is beautiful world,
musical world OF murmurings deep,
Where the winding waves
Through the ocean caves
Ger the red-lip'd shell and the coral sweep;
And along the Drow OF the waye-worD rock,
The crimson dulse and the sea nag stream,
And the easy motion
or the rocking ocean
The mermaid lulls TO her tranquil dreams.
Bright palaces, toe, are beneath the seas,
And beautiful forms are sporting there,
And as brightly shine
In the CLASSY brine
AS creatures that breathe in the upper air.
There are gems that fiash In the golden sand,
And flowers that waste unbreaihed perfume,
IN the cocl retreat
Where the waters meet.
And the coral bower, and the soa-plant bloom.
The tufts Of the ocean are bending low
Beneath the weight Of the pearl-shells whites
And the goldfish rove
In the eEameled grove,
And mullets sport Ia the cascades bright;
While the sea-nymphs fair with their hgallns
hair
Bend DER the strings OF their ocean lutte,
And we hear a strain
From the heaying plain
Swell on the ear I'LL our lips grow mute.

Lent.
ESTABLISHED AUGUST. 1865.


But week and few days
son of Lent will commence, Ash:
Wednesday falling this year on the 22d of
February. Even outside Of the Catholic
and Episcopal churches, by which the
lenten season is principally observed, its
commencement is generally the signal for
a cessation of parties, weddings, receptions
and other social events. During the next
week, however, Washington society folks
will have gala time, as invitations arc
out for several fashionable receptions ana
entertainments to take place before Ash
Wednesday. Archbishop Gibbons has just
issued the following circular, containing
the regulations for Lent:
/, All the faithful who have completed
their 2lst year are, unless legitimately dis
pensed, bound to observe the fast of Lent.
9. They are to make only one meal day,
excepting Sundays. 3. The meal allowed
on fast days is not to be taken till about
noon. 4. Flesh meat and fish are not to be
used at the samo meal during Lent. 8. A
small refreshment, commonly called COLA
ton, is allowed in the evening, not to ex-
ceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal.
6. At the collation. it Is permitted to use
bread, all kinds of fruits, salads and vegeta-
bles. The use of butter, cheese, milk
and eggs is also tolerated by virtue
of long established custom. z.
General usage has made it lawful to take
in the morning some warm liquid, as tea,
coffee or thin chocolate made with water,
and mouthful of bread. 8. Necessity and
custom have authorized the use of hogs
lard instead of butter in preparing per-
mitted food. 8. The following persons are
exempted from the obligations Of fasting:
Persons under 81 years of age, the sick,
nursing women, those who are obliged to
do hard labor, all who, through weakness,
cannot fast without great prejudice to
their health. 10. By dispensation the use
of fresh meat will be allowed at
all meals on Sundays, and once a
day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, with the exception of Holy
Thursday and the second and last Satur-
days of Lent. IL, The faithful are re-
minded that besides the obligation of fast
ing imposed by the church this holy sea-
son of Lent should be, in an especial man.
ner, a time of earnest prayer, of sorrow for
sin, seclusion from the world
and its amusements and of gen
erous almsgiving. IL. The paschal
time extends from the first Sunday of
Lent till Trinity Sunday, during which
time all Catholics who have attained the
use of reason are bound to prepare them
selves to receive worthily the Holy Com
munion. The holy season of Lent is very
proper time, also for children to go to their
first confession, which they ought to dc

The Fiddler.

A halting man In rusty coat,
By sixty winters scanned and bent,
Still drawing thin and wfry note
From out battered instrument
Beside the kitchen chimney place,
Whose generous Yule L fickers wide,
A link with lost and laviShed days,
He tastes the cheer OF ChriStmaS-tide,
The mug OF cider emptied thrice,
He lights his pipe and tips his chair,
And once again. with narrowed eyes,
He plays the swift, fantastic air.

Or SnatcheS at the tune, and sings,
And, hand on latch, fOrbearS to GO

Or leads the light and scattered dance,
rhythmic measures rise and fall.
And through the cracking henlock boughs
The kissing OF the lighted tree,
1t rounds the humming OF the house
To fuller mlrth aud gayety.
To him the clashing strains repeat
The hollow music OF the past;
He pipes TO greet the rushing sleet
And whistles to the empty blast
Across the worn and creaking strings
He feels gilded passion glow,
As young as yOnder boy, who brings
The Christmas message through the snow
