DISGUISED HIGHWAYMAN.
Intellectual Attempt to Secure Wealth
from a Printer.

Virginia New Enterprise.
On Sunday evening Phil. Uko-rke,
well-known printer was escorting home
lady who resides at the north end of the
city. When they reached point You'd
North street, on the grade, man suddenly
appeared in front of them, presented a
revolver and ordered Phil. to throw up his
hands. The request was complied with,
the printer making no protest and losing
no time in obeying the mandate. The
highwayman went through Pills clothes,
but found nothing in his pockets except a
printers rule, q few leads, a broken key
and the handle Of 4 pocket-knife minus
the blades. As Phil. was ilaslily dressed
the road agent looked at him i'll blank as
constituent, and expressed Lis disappoint-
ment at nor finding any wealth about the
person of man who put on SO much out
ward style. Phil, who was never known
to miss a meal or have q cent.
apologized in a deproeating manner
stating that he had just spent the last
quarter he had for oysters. The aforesaid
early in the evening-Rep.l At this juno
ture the highwayman caught sight of a
massive brass chain dangling from Phil. S
| fob, and in the dim moonlight he mist0oil
it for gold. Remarking that be guessed he
would take the watch along, anyhow,
the highwayman seized the chain and gave
it jerk, expecting as a matter of course,
to find valuable tinepiece at the other
endbf it; but his indignation knew no
| bounds when he discovered that it was at
tached to an empty and battered tin lucifeT
matchbox. The trembling 0'Rourke at
tempted to explain the absence of his
watch, but the indignant and disguised
road agent poked the cooked weapon di-
rectly under Phil.'s nose and ordered him
to get out of his sight in second or he
would blow his brains out. Phil lit ou
on dead run, dragging his frightened
companion after him. and never looked
back to see what became of the disguised
road agent.

Out from the darker line that marks the Land,
Into the vast mid-ocean runs the Song,
Shouting its praises to the Universe
In measures loud and long.
With deep resounding through the salty main.
the switt-sent message of an iron throat
Reaches the monsters of the nether-sea
In hoaTse prolonged note.
Clear speed the winds from mizzen-sky sail
down,
Now toying with the taf1rail as they lag,
Forth to the jb, and up the mainmsst sheets
To kiss the starry Flag
Across the stormy petreTs swaying path
From polished decks the music in delight
Pushes and, like the beating wings of birds,
Takes onward, upward fight.
Unto the Earth its hills, its plains its dales,
Gladness has come because the Christ is born
Conc0rdant murInurs ever flowing cut
Welcome to Christmas Morn
The Morn that brings promise every year
From seraphs watching near the Bethlehem
shrine
Or Fold we call Manager, but a Court
Whose Courtiers are divine;
The Morn that brings no message back to those
Whose creed with Fashion shifts its course or
Or as the wild field bird that suits its plumes
To foliage aud to grass.
The heart of Erin rings in all its bells.
England and scotland, as in early days.
Honor of words of praise.
In gold and white, and scarlet as the flowers
Investured are, as kings of ancient Rome
The inner walls of each Italian fame
From Intel unto dome.
Show the fair garb of holiday attire,
With many cleaning light that shines afar,
In semblance of that jewel of the skies
We name the Shepherds Star.
From storied Rhineland' astle-bordered slopes,
From stately spires of Switzer-Alpine wales,
Broad >urging hymnal greetings floating out
Are borne on frosty gales
Through Spain and Portugal, and France and
Greece
| In this our Land, from shore to farthest shore,
| Strreth sound of sweetness and of joy
| To Him whom we adore.
| The Bugler's silvery calling from the Fort
Winds far across the prairie untouched snow.
| Startling among he shallow-reefed bluffs
The sad-eyed, timid roe.
| As DER Pacifics angry, heaving tide
The Gun prOclaims the Dawn unto the West.
| So breaks the sweeter blast of bugle sounds
| The cod Sierra's rest.

is found IN an ancient catalogue of church
festivals about 354 A. d. and it is surpris-
ing to see ssth what alacrity the date was
received aAi the Nativity celebrated
throughout Glristendom Il seems as if
the world had been waiting for this festival
of divine and human childhood, and was
ready to welcome it at once with songs of
Joy, In the yesr $50 it was already cele-
brated in Rome By vast multitudes throng-
ing the churches. Twenty years later An
tioeh had taken il up with great popular
enthusiasm And In little more than fifty
years from-its earliest suggestion the OBJ
servance of December 18th as the day of
the Nativity had become the universal
practice of Christmas. st. Chrysostom, in
Z Christmas sermon preached at Antioch,
called it the fundamental feast, or the root
from which sill other Christian festivals
