CHRISTMAS IN OLD TIMES.

Went roaring up the chimney wide.

Then was brought in the lusty Drawn,
By old bluecoated serving-man;
Their the grim boar 8 head frOwAed on

Crested with bays and rosemary.
Well can the green-garbed ranger tell
How, when and where the monster fell;
What dogs before his death he tore,
And all the batting of the hoar.
The wassaii round, in good crown bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, blithely trowls,
There the huge sirloin reeked; hard by
Plum-porridge stood, and Christmas pie,
MOI failed old Scotland to produce,
At such high tide, her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskers in;
And carols roared with hlithesome din;
II unmelodious was the song,
1t was 9 hearty note and strong.
Who lists may in their mumming see
Traces of anc'ent mystery:
White shirts supplied the masquerade,
And smutted cheeks the visions made;
But, oh! what maskcrs richly digit, .
Can boast of hoaoms halfs light?
England was merry England, when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas preached the mightiest
ale!
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
A ChIistm as gambol oft would cheer

NEW FIRE ESCAPE.

Mr. George H. Thompson, Piattsmouth,
Neb., has invented new fire escape
The novelty of the escape lies in the fact
that there is no apparatus. 1t consists of
small iron box, Sx44 inches, which is
set into a prepared cavity in the wall.
Across this box is placed a stout iron
bar, concealed by swinging door, which
readily takes the place of round ladder.
A row of these boxes are, one above the
other, ON the outer wall of the building,
and so located as to be of convenient
access to the windows. The advantages
of this plan are that it does not disfgure
the walls of the building. and forms an
escape that is convenient and reliable A
test was made of. the device at the Leland
Hotel lately, and if was found satisfacto-
ry in every respect. That building will
soon be equipped with escapes of this
pattern. Mr.. Thompson has already
placed his patent upon some buildings in
Plattsmonth. and has signed contracts to
equip buildings in Omaha.

There is no doubt the season 1888 will
exceed that of any other in the value of
the prizes offered for the trotting meet

seems to be in the direction of increased
purses. 1t is questionable if it is wise
policy. No sport suffers more from
gambling influences than trotting. Big
purses, while they attract the best of
horses and incidentally large audiences
also attract the gambling element, which
will stick at nothing to turn the box
