3 The Literary Society Of District No. 8,
meets every Saturday night Mt the Paonia
school house. The. president A, B. Camp
bell, directs the society with an eye to success
which insures large crowd every evening.
So far the entertainments have been both in
structive and amusing, and persons of liter
ary taste find much enjoyment in attending
every Saturday night.
As Chfhtmas approached and the breath
of old Santa Claus could be scented from the
far off mountain tops, the desire to tip the
fantastic toe became apparent in the hearts
of the elite of the Pa0nia society, and they
began to east themselves about for place at
which they could congregate and enjoy them
selves to their hearts content. Remembering
the generous hospitality Of Mr.. Samuel Wade
and his commodious apartments, all were d-
rected toward his place, and although the
rain fell incessantlv all day the chivalry Of
the young men was undaunted, and the young
ladies equitted themselves with equally as
much valor by deciding. though the rain and
mud was up to the buggy hub, they would
not be debarred from the pleasures that the
waltz and schottische afford. Soby Z o'clock
the host and hostess; Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Wade, began to receive company from all
quarters. At 8 O'Clock twenty or more ladies'
and about 30 gentlemen had assembled to
pass the night in amusement and to have a
Jolly good time. Music was furnished by the
Hightower Bros. The enjoyment of theev
ing was unkroken n rest was called at IL
o'clock and all were invited into the spacious
dining room to partake of the winds prepar-
ed by the skilled tact of the hostess. After
Refreshments the 'dancirg continued until
morning, when all aftef expressing their
gratitude for the enjoyment Of the night,
made their way homeward, some to partake
OF a Christmas feast and others to while away
the hours Of the day in sweet slumber dieam-
ing Of the joys Of the ball room.

SURFACE CREEK, Dec. 25, 1884. Z.
Last night, Christmas eve, the neighbors Of
Mr.. Herbert Castle met at bis house, by inyi-
tation, to see presents distributed by Santa
Claus from Christmas tree previously pre-
pared. There were present ten adults, and
about the same number of children. The
impersonation of Santa Claus by Mr.. w. II.
Kimball was complete and excellent. To the
children he seemed nm actual and genuine
parsonage. To his inquiry if they had been
good children the past year, they answered
yes, with some timidity, but in entire sim
plicity and sincerity. To the grown people
the representation was so natural and so
humorous, rs to give them much mirth and
enjoyment.
The presents were so. we'll chosen as to give
pleasure.a and satisfaction to all. There was
something for each and every one present,
and also for some who werc expected, but
were prevented by the nnfavorable weather.
Much mirth was developed by the presenta-
ton Of a large rag baby to young couple
recently married. The head of large owl,
shot the day before, was sewed on for the
baIy's head, and it with its staring eyes, ad.
des1 a grotesque feature to the ludicrousness
Of the affair.".
After the distribution Of the presents, Santa
Claus said he must hurry away, for he had
far to go, and many things to distribute to
make the children happy, and wishing us
much happiness the coming year bid us good
bye and ;slsparted.
After this, Mr. Castle and his father gave
~ some comic recitations, dialogues and
sosgs, and then followed singing Of u higher
character, sentimental and devotional. II
w1s very pleasant social evening.
To-day there has. been dinner party Of
relatives aud friends Mt the same house, and
: noticeable feature Of the excellent dinner
was the abundance Of pies, sauces. &e., made
from the native rid bssrisa ffApts eloss.

There is much complaint over the Law
which places money received for liquo,
licenses in the school fund. Whether
these complaints are just or unjust is q
subject for discussion and 10 doubt con.
vincing arguments gould be advanced on
both sides Of the proposition. Lawrence
county has decided to stand the Law OF,
with the evident purpose of inducing
the legislature to amend it. In pur.
suance Of this plan the Lawrence com
missioners have issued the following in.

ingman.

After the WOrkIngman has his house
built, and has paid an increased price
for the material entering into its con-
struction in consequence of tariff eXac-
tions, he cannot live in it without still
further tariff. He must pay As per
cent. on his stove and SO per cent. ON
his pots and kettles; 55 per cent. on his
cheap crockery; 46 per cent. on his
knives and forks and spoons; 6S per
cent. on his carpet, if he has one; As per
cent. on his window curtains; 60 per
cent. on the blankets for his bed and 35
per cent. on his cheap furniture. Our
able contemporary, the Evening fele-
graph, assures the workingman that if
he did not have to pay these taxes to
protected interests he would have to
compete with cheap labor which pro-
duces these necessary articles in other
countries for less money. But the
workingman pays these prices and
finds that no bar is set up against cheap
labor. He has to take the going rate,
and the rate depends in this country as
in other countries, upon the supply of
men and women who desire to work.
The tariff puts no tax upon new colners,
so that really the American laborer
enters the field against all other labor,
crippled by protective taxes that do him
no good. There is no benefit in pro-
lection for workingmen.-F%1 Philadelphia

Baby's Mother.

Oh, little baby, all pink and wrinkled,
and upIv as YOU are in the mems eyes,
how sweet YOU are to your mother!
Heaven knows why, and Heaven only
7 saw il verently--Heaven that sent
you. A woman who has never loved II
baby is not half a woman. She does
not know what love can be. In every
other phase of love there is some sell
fishness. In that which we feel for our
baby there can be none. What does 1t
bring to mother, this morsel OF hui
manity, but pain, and fear, and weak
ness, deprivation of pleasure, and Wig
lis many and long? Yet the love she
has for it pays for all. 1t is u passion
though it has never been called so--the
strangest, sweetest, purest passion pos
sible. When n lovers lips touch hers a
girl looks fair and bright, and as beauti-
ful as she ever will in life, so that those
who see her envy and admire; yet her
emotions may then be merely an equal
mixture of love and vanity. When a
mother kisses her first babe she is often
pale and far from beautiful, but never
In her life has such depth of tender
ness dwelt in her soul; never was she so
near perfection; for all that we women
have of good and true in our hearts has
its base in mother-love. 1t is from this
that our power to care for our house.
holds, to do our duty as daughters, Sis
ters and wives must principally spring.
The woman simply capable of romantic
emotions may have lovers by the score,
but Is never true to one, one is always
selfish to the hearts's core, grasping all
she can and giving nothing. The wo-
men with strong mother-love in their
souls give that-though in less degree
than to their babies-to all they love;
and so is home built as the nest by the
mother-bird.

A Political Trick.

The Democratic House of Representa-
tives is now paying off some of the
debts Intentionally left by the Republi-
cans in the last Congress as an embar-
rassment to their successors. The Def
cheney bill reported from the Committee
Of Appropriations aggregated nearly a
million and three-quarters, every dollar
of which would have been provided at
the last session but for the desire to
bother the present House.
Mr.. Hiscock and his associates threw
over as far as possible all appropriations
that could be postponed, with two OBJ
jects in view. First, to make show
ing for themselves of pretended econo-
my; andSecondly, to burden the Demo
cratic House with obligations that must
be met, and might be falsely charged to
their account.-N Y SIN.
