AS JOSEPH WAS A-wALKING.


AS Joseph was a-walking,
He heard an angel sing:
This night shall be the birth-night
OF Christ the Heavenly King;
His birth-bed shall be neither
In house nor in ball,
Nor in the place Of Paradise.
But in the oxen's stall. "
As Joseph WAS a-walking.
Thus did the angel sing.
And Marys Son az midnight
Was born to be our King!
He neither shall be rock'd
In silver nor in gold,
But in the wooden mAngeT
That Geth on the mold;
He neither shall be clOth'd
In purple nor in pail
But in the fair white linen
That usen babies all"
As Joseph was a waIking,
Tins did the angel sing;
Aud Mary's Son at midnight
Was born to be our King
He neither shall be washen
With white wine nor with red,
But with the fair spring water
That on you shall be shed.
Then be you glad good-people,
At this time of the year.
And light you up your candles,
For his star shinrth near"
AS Joseph was awalking,
Thus did the angel sing,
And Mary's Son at midnight
Was born to be our KinglS

This is a specimen. Of the sort of
politics which has been taught to
young Americans for the last fifteen
years. 1t does not take very old
American to remember that it used to
be quite common for voters to boast
that they never scratched ticket. If
there are voters of this sort now they
keep it to themselves they are asham-
ed to speak of it.

reached his home four hours after the
accident, his leg badly swollen, and
his doctors found it difficult to estab-

and had from the first little hope that
he wOuld recover. And indeed he
sank steadily through the remaining
days of his life. How are the hospital
authorities to clear themselves from

look as if they might begin to play at

True Even Unto Death.

That was a touching story told by
Mr. Gladstone when announcing the
death of the Princess Alice in Parlia-
ment. She had been cautioned By the
physician not to inhale the breath Of
her little boy, who was i'll with diph-
liberia. The little fellow was tossing
in his bed in the delirium of fever The
Princess stood by the side of her child
and laid her hand upon his brow and
began to caress him. The touch cooled
the fevered brain and brought the wan
dering soul back from its wild delirium
to nestle for a moment in the lap of
mothers love. Then throwing his
arms around her neck be whispered,
Mamma, kiss me. The instinct of a
mothers love was stronger than SCI
ence. and she pressed her lips to those
of her child. And yet there is not a
woman in all the world but would say
she would not have had mothers
heart if she had not kissed her BARN.
And so it will be to the end of time.
The mother will kiss her child, the
wife her husband and the lover his
sweetheart, though death in thousand
forms lay concealed beneath the YER
million coloring of the pouting lips.

Teachers Reading Circles.

The members of the teachers insti-
tute assembled in this city have had a
scheme for the organization of teachers
reading circles laid before them These
circles have for their purpose the wider
promotion of professional knowledge
and general culture, and to this end
a committee appointed by the state
teachers association has arranged a
general plan of work The central or
ganization consists of board of direc-
tors composed of six persons appointed
by he state teachers association. and
whose duties are To select such reading
rs, 10 their opinion, will be of the
greatest worth to the teachers through
out the state; arrange courses of pro-
fesslonal study and issue certificates to
persons completing the work laid down.
Any teacher in the state may become
member by paying for this year fee of
forty cents and signing pledge to pur-
sue the course Of reading Local circles
will be composed of four or more per-
sons and as soon as organized will elect
a secretary who will report for his circle
at least twice year, Jan. / and July ],
10 the county manager who is appointed
by the state directors The manager
for this county is Chas. l.. Harper, and
teachers desiring to take part in this
work will communicate with him. The
best plan for teachers wishing to form
clrales is 10 consult with HIM at the iu-
stitntes or examinations The books
will be furnished to members at re-
duced rates, more than the membership
fee in some instance being saved in the
price of single book, and there can be
no question of their value to educa-
tional progress Below is list of the
books and the price for which each will
be furnished to all members. A better
opportunity for improvement than this
has not before been offered to those
who wish to improve themselves either
in matters of general information or of
professional culture-crcles may adopt
either or both courses named:

There has been much stuff and nom

apt to be obese when not yet 20 years
of age. and, as for her taste in dres-
sing, she hasn't any. Most of them
use pasty sort of powder on their

use Of colors. As a rule, Mexican

only looks really well when very young
