the little one had eaten her fill, and

her kind hostess then drawing on her
coarse cloak. she moved toward the
door, while she longed to ask for food

Are you going, little girl ? asked
Lilly, in kind. affectiOnate tone, as
she arose from the table.
Yes, maiam.'
But would you not like to take

CHRISTMAS.

Again has the year freighted with
its joys and sorrows. brought US
around to the Christmas tide and once
more let us be glad with the gladdest.
Let as forget the melancholy which
has SO long dwelt with US, and let us
give to Christmas q welcome, such as
should belong to the anniversary of
the Messi abs birth.
And yet it is not enough to say to
men, "Bs joyful" il order to make
them rejoice. Days of pleasure are
not to be created by the use of words
alone, nor are smiles caused because
ve sre glad hearted We must do
eur part, the little gift Of love. the
little deed of kindness to the needy,
the tender hand of sympathy to the
sorrowiug, the word Of encour.
apement to the fallen. these have
much to do in the forming of our
Christmas. One thing that heightens
the charms of these christian festivals
Is that they have existed SO long, and
yet are ever new. We find with pleas
ure in going back to the past, that
our ancestors rejoiced much as we of
to-day. The season has always been
. time Of marriage, of presents, of
charity and of visiting.
In olden times, however, f..rmers
renewed their leases; the tradesmen
were paid their bills; the judge and
his client conferred together, fraterni-
ties, courts of justice. universities and
corporations assembled, and the obliga-
tions they were under to receive their
neie hbor at this season made them
live on good terms with him all the
rest of the year, and peace and union
reigned among men.
While these customs are not at pres
ent observed, yet it is a pleasurable
emotion to remember how many fami-
lies gather together, and What cove
nants of love are again renewed be-
side the burning Of the yule log"
The aged grandfather, confined all
the rest of the year, perhaps. to his
room, totters out on this festive occa-
sion, and once more is the ruling spirit;
the feeble grandmother draws her
grandchildren about her, and in their
youthful vivacity, renews her youth
the father and mother have happy
secrets to disclose, and joy beams from
every countenance.
1t is true, as some would have it,
that not always is the jubilaut coca
sion remembered because of It's eignif-
canoe, but rather because it has BEN |
made a feast day. No matter, there
are thousand and tens of thousands,
who hear the story of Bethlehem and
the white stone set up is allied to
Christianity and to the memory of its
Teacher. They who look back to the
family reunion upon this day have
not lost everything, and they who
have never known such reunions have
missed much. Aye. let US rejoice in
the day, yet let it be in the highest
,ense, and not that we alone may be
happy, but that the humble poor from
mid whom Christ was born. may al
% taste the benefits which prosperity
,onfers. Let none be forgotten, and
ut of plenty. remember the INDECENT
and stretch out the helping hand to
the reedy. Better. much better. to
be imposed on by many, than miss one

Twas Christmas evening. The sun
had sunken to its home in the west,
and the shades Of the evening were
falling dim. and the pale winter moon
was mounting the blue arch above.
The cold. chilled winds were bowling
and shrieking without. while within
many household fire burned bright
ly. and the prattle of noisy children
was distinctly heard.
Twas evening. and our friend Lilly
seated herself at her window and gazed
upon the gloomy scene without. She
had net been seated long, when she
observed the approach of tall, plain
ly-dressed man. accompanied by lit
tie girl, who was coming up the gar
den path. She quickly went to the
door, and threw it open ~ the stran-
gers were about to knock The man
gazed upon her while his beaminp
ewes lit with love, and . smile of ioy
played about his mouth. Lilly stretch
ed forth her hand, for she recognized
her visitor, and in an instant, forget.
full of past scenes, she th ew herself
into his arms and wept upon his
bosom.
Reader, you may wonder who that
stranger was. IT'S useless for me to
say that the past io the lives of James
and Lilly Weston was all for
gotten and forgiven. while in the flu
ture. they looked for pleasure and real
happiness. Lily gave James her
hand. and ere another Christmas came
round. she was the honored ard hap
py wife Of Der finst love.

CHEESE Factory Floors. Cheese fac
tory floors are generally places prolific in
foul odors The whey spilled upon them
gets into cracks and crevlces, or into the
grain of the wood, which becomes soft by
much wetting, and soon sours and rots, TO
fill the room with unsavory fumes. These
do the double mischief of affecting the
health OF the occupants and the quality Of
the cheese they manufacture. In the work
man they produce feeling of lassitude-a a
sense of dullness, heaviness and exhaustion
as if excessively fatigued, though the work
mas only been moderate and light. In the
cheese, they produce flavor corresponding
with the characteristics of the fumes from
the floor; and when pretty intense, the
cheese acquires sort Of sour and metallic
taste, as If the milk has stood in rusty ves-
vessels. To avoid these disagreeeble effects,
the floor should be made perfectly tight,
and inclined TO fixed lire of depression,
so that all slops shall be quickly drained
away, and, as soon as the work of the day
is over. the whole floor should be wetted
over with weak solution of copperas we.
ter, which should be kept on hand and
dissolved in advance, to be ready for use.
Copperas is one of the most powerful anti
septics and disinfectants known, and &
very weak solution only will be necessary.

a Nocturnal RambIe and Whas Came
OF It.

"Some genius-we suspect him TO be-
long to the iovial order of humanlty-has
said: "The day to drono and dream, the
night to learn and ramble." We do not
propose to dispute this worthys view OF
the matter, but present herewith the ex-
perience of a philadelphia journalist, Mr..
William ii. Cunuington, 1712 North
Twentieth street, one or whose nocturnal
rambles he thus refers to, beginning his
narration rather peculiarly, however: II
am not rheumatic, and have been trou-
bled veIy little with bodily pains. Last
Tuesday morning experienced a very an-
noyIng stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore on. Toward eve
nlng 1t became very severe, and could
scarcely turn my head in any direction.
Arriving homo at tea time il was with
difficulty that could eat my meal. My
wife wanteG TO rub my neck with st,
Jacobs Oil, but refused, saylg thought
the afllctiOn would soon pass away. Tea
over, against the remonstrances OF my
family, left h Ome to ramble toward the
new Chestnut-Stree Opera House, about
two and half miles from my residence.
/ started IN the midst OF heavy snow
storm, and remained at the theatre until
the close of the performance, although
could feel my neck getting worse and be-
coming very painful. Leaving the play
the trouble came 10 reach home. The
storm continued; the car in which was
became blocked in nearly every square, a
cold current of air swept through the car,
and did not reach my home until toward
a. M, by which time my neck had be-
come absolutely rigid. Then consented
TO the use of ST. Jacobs OIL, which my
wife applied two or three times before l
arose. continued its use that day and
by evening was free from pain, and the
next morning | amused myself by twist
ing my neck in any direction that suited
me, and not vestige of illness remained.

COFFEE GRoUNI FOR FOwLs.-It Is well
known that In many Eastern countries,
and especially in Arabia. where we get our
very best coffee. Mocha. (unless we except
the African, of which there is bat little
yet IN the market, the entire bean is used,
and in some instances the pericarp, or out
er covering OF the bean. also. The reason
of this is that when the infusion is made
and drawn of only portion of the nutri-
tive properties are extracted. What we
get are chiefly the exhiLrating and refresh
ing elements of the bean which are calcu-
laled to diminish the wear and tear OF the
animal frame, while we too often throw
away the major part of the positively nu-
tritious substances which remain in the
grounds. The chief of these is legumine,
vegetable caselne) but there are others IN
smaller quantity, such as sugar, gum, fatty
matter, etc.. all of which, ii saved and glv-
en- to our poultry, would be eaten by them
TO advantage.

SEED POTATOES -Dampness undoubtedly
favors the growth of the potato disease,
and therefore, where there is any chance
at all of the disease existing IN the roots
they ought to be stored as dry as possible.
Those which are to be kept In this general
way should be especially seen to in case OF
seed potatoes. Since the potato beetle came
among us, it is clear that we have had the
very best results from early planting, and
by the use of the earliest varieties. Now
these early kinds are more easily affected
by warmth than the late ones. They sprout
easily, and cColness is therefore, more es-
sential for them. Some people think that
it makes but little difference whether seed
potatoes sprout or not before planting. We
have known people to tear off sprouts sew
eral inches long, and cut up the tubers in
full faith that they will sprout again and
be none the worse for 1t. They do gener-
ally grow, but there is little doubt that they
ire constitutionaIly weaker and much more
liable to disease than those which do not
sprout until ready 10 90 in the ground.

Paper Hanging on Damp Walls -
A mode of banging paper on damp walls
has been patented in Germany. Lining
paper coated on one side with a solution
of shellac In spirit, of somewhat greater
consistency than ordinary French polish,
is hung with the side thus treated towards
the damp wall. The paper banging Is
then performed, IN the usual way, with
paste. Any other kind OF resin easily So
luble in spirit may be used in place of shell
lac. A layer of paper thus saturated with
resin is said to be equally eft ctual in pre-
venting the penetration of damp. 1t is not
stated how long lining paper prepared in
the manner described will adhere to a
damp wall.

FEBRUARY should be quite a busy month
with the gardener in preparing for tie
coming season. Besides the hotbeds there
are many things TO be done to put them in
proper state for repair. 1t is true the
ground is not often in a condition TO go up
on, on account of the moistness of the soil
on the one band or hard frozen on the
other. But neither will interfere with the
preparation of pea brush, bean poles, put
ting new handles IN rakes, hoes, forks, &c.
making flower trelhses, supports for plants,
raspberry, and blackberry stakes, grape
trellises, sc. These should be all ready to
use when the time comes without mo.
ment's delay, and they VIII prove a great
assistant IN pushing things forward at a
time when work is pushing the gardener,
Pruning of grape-vInes, where it has not
already been done, is OF courfe in order;
and so with apple and pear trees, Grape
vines should be left sprawling over the
ground after pruning, in order that they
may sprodt low and produce new leaders
for the following year.

Birds and VentriLOQtism- - Many
birds, according to Mr.. E. E. Fish, appear
to possess powers of ventrloqulsm A
cuckoo, not rod off, can make his voice
appear to come from furlong away; the
thrush, singing from low perch, seems
to be IN the tree tops; the vesper sparrow
and field-sparrow on the roadside fence,
as if singing from distant field. The
robin has siml ar power of throwing It's
veice, and the cat-bird can sing in loud,
voluble sound or in low, foft, sweet. and
tender warble. The oven-bird, the small
lest of the thrushes, singing from dis.
tance, can throw its sharp, ringing NOES
in such way as to cause the listener to
believe that it is almost within reach.

Now is an excellent time to put in order
tools and all kinds of farm implements
that may have become damaged during the
summer and fall. The rust which collects
on steel tools in damp weather can often
be entirely removed by submerging them
in kerosene oil for two or three days,
which loosens it, and if not of too long
standing can easily be rubbed from the
steel with rag. Rust that will not yield
to this treatment can be rubbed off with
emery paper.
