Christmas.

The word itself tells yolumns-more or
less. The day approacheth on swift
wings of time when more turkey, duck,
chicken salad, and chicken without salad,
will beckon the hungry and travel
stained wanderer, not the rustic tramp
home. 1t is day when the city dudes
and country ones, togo home to the
farm, or somebody's farm, and enjoy life
for day at least with the old folks. To
the handwriting, industrious man Christ
mas means much. Perhaps long before
months before-ths thoughtful man has
looked ahead, and by little economy is
prepared to mako home happy. A gift
for all, let ii be ever so small, is g glad
reminder Of love 70 those whom he gives
his little treasure. To others the day il
tho beginning of season of frolic and
nirth. To the young old Criss is won
derful fellow. He never fails to leave
every good little boy and girl lots Of
Christmas things, So dear little children
see that you are good, and old Crisis will
bring you what you ask for, provided
you don't want the sarth, or abrown-stone
front in Newark, because old Criss does
not deal in such wares. But my older
friends, don't forget the turkey. Thanks
giving made the army Of turkey scarce,
but enough has been left for ordinary
people, includes majority about
here. But q short time now and the
holidays are here.

Most Pleasant for ALI.

Mr.. and Mrs. jackson Hewitt, residing
in Mill Creek Hundred, invited their
children and their defendants to dine
with them on Thanksgiving day. Their
own children consisted of eleven, includ-
ing triplets, Jack and Dave, by
name, and as hearty and robust young
fellows ss you meet anywhere. The
whole number that took dinner were
about City. This large gathering Of
children, grandchildren, friends, ETC.,
did not forget the dear, happy old folks,
but made them doubly happy by substan-
italy remembering them with an amount
of gold and silver money, and articles
amounting to over $3.50. The whole day
was most enjoyably spent. Good cheer
went its merry round among the kinsfolk.
The day TOO soon drew to a close for the
old as well as the young, and sffectionate

The Guild Course Of Lectures.

A word as to the lectures. The Rev.
II. F. Alsop, ID. D., who delivers the Arst
lecture, "a Ride to Jerusalem" Is in
every way qualified to give an entertain
ing lecture on the subject. The lecture,
we understand, is drawn from his own
experience during visit to the Holy
Land 1t is almost unnecessary to say
that an illustrated lecture on ''Coins" by
such man as Col. Bosbyshell Of the U.
s. Mint, will be accurate, entertaining
and Instructive. Rev. Campbell Fair, d.
d =, an Irishman himself, highly educated
and yearly visitor Of his native land,
delivers lecture on 'Treland and the
Irish" that is said to give his audience an
evening of the keeReat enjoyment.
The Guild Of st. Thomas Episcopal
Church deserves the thanks of the citi-
Eens of Newark for giving them an OPP
portunity to hear such lectures ut SO re-
marksbly low a rate Of admission.
