Christmas Carols.

In Shakespeare's time carols were sung
in the streets during Christmas by waits or
watches, who expected to receive gifts for
their singing. Many a writer of olden
times and customs refers to the wakeful
ssketches of Christmas eve." 1t was after
the Reformation that they ceased to sing
Latin hymns in the churches and substitu-
ted the sweet Christmas carols in vogue
those of devotional nature, which were
sung not only in the churches, but also
through the streets, from house to house
upon Christmas eve, and even after that
morning and evening until the twelfth day.
In those times men were able to spare
more than one brief day for the celebration
of Christmas, and kept up the festival for
at least twelve days. Other carols were of
a livelier nature, and were especially adapt
ed to the revel and the feast where the lord
of misrule had potent sway. The carols
were also called wassail songs, and proba-
bly originated among the Anglo -Normans,
who were of convivial nature. No Christ
mas entertainment was complete without
the Joyous singing of carols, and thence
came the motto, sNo song, no supper" for
every guest at the table was expected to
join in the carol. One of the rules laid
down by the ancient customs was that ssthe

cences, is collection from the pen OF my
brother, Capt Samuel Brown Coyner, OF
Company D, 7th Virginia Cavalry, Ashby's
command. He was known as modest in
regard to his achievements and deserts, but
the papers in my possession show that he
was trusted in most trying times by Stone
wall jackson, as ons who would do his whole
duty regardless of results. He died at Or
ange G. H., of wounds received in fight
near Brandy Station, Culpeper county, Va,
Sept. 10th, 1868. 1 subjoin an extract
from a letter he wrote me from Weyer's
Cave, Va, June 5th, 1869: ''We have had
stirring times since l saw you, and part OF
those times, we ourselves were stirred.
Never was General in worse situation
than Jackson on last Saturday and Sunday,
and never did poor being work harder for
the preservation of his army than l did.
Through wind and rain, darkness and sun
shine, mud and dust, we went, and we con-
quered. On Sunday, about Q o'clock, an
order came for me to scout in Page, and, if
necessary, to burn the two bridges upon the
Shenandoah, over which it was thought
Shields would attempt to cross from Luray
to New Market and surround Jakson. We
set out on a forced march, and about IL
o'clock that night received further orders
to burn the bridges immediately. We were
then at Mt. JacksOn-at least 15 miles yet
to travel, and nearly all the horses broken
down. We pushed on and about halfway
up mountain were overtaken by one of the
most dreadful storms / ever experienced.
We we're compelled to wait in the road un-
til 1t stopped raining and cleared off before
we could move on, and then half the time
moved only by the flashes of lightning
About halfway down the mountain the
storm was repeated. The rain fell in tor
rents and the thunder rolled, and, oh, the
darkness was so thick / could almost clutch
it in my grasp. But still we struggled on,
and my men clung to me like children to
parent. The safety of Jackson's army,
and, perhaps, our country demanded it, and
though they suffered they seemed to suffer
willingly We reached the bridges and
they were in flames by sun-up. That even
ing (Monday) the Yankees pitched their
tents and planted their cannons by the
smoking ruins. We remained in Page that
day and night, and the next morning or
ders came to burn the Conrad's Store
bridge, if necessary. We started, but, oh,
the toughest road. For two miles, at one
place, we had to almost crawl. We arrived
at five o'clock-the enemy had been there
and left about one-half hour. Soon that
bridge was on fire, and then Providence in
tervened-the windows of heaven opened,
the floods came, and jackson was safe. We
have been at this place since yesterday even-
ing, looking for the rascals to come up on
| the other side the river"

ADDRESS OF ROBERT BEvERLEY PRESIDENT
OF THE FARMERS NATIONAL CONGRESS,
TO THAT BODY, MEETING IN ANNUAL sEs-
SION, AT INDIANAPOLIS, IND. DEC. 2ND,
1885.
Gentlemen of the Farmers National Con-
Nlsss:
ARgratulate you on your re-assembling
in anhS >Session, that important progress
has been Ne in the direction of determin-
ed and intelligent cooperation in further
ance of their colsmon interests by Ameri-
can Farmers throughout the Union, and in
this beautiful Capitafe;ty of the great State
of Indiana carved out Of the magnificent
is fitting place for US TO council together
for the good of the whole nation.
Gentlemen, the views of leading agricul-
turists are assuming broader and more
comprehensive scope. The bitterness of
sectional issues is rapidly dying out and the
way seems clear for peace and goodwill,
between all those whose great business is
the foundation stone of all stable society,
and of all good government everywhere
throughout the world.
The past year has been characterized by
a marked shrinkage of the prices of all the
products of the earth, and this shrinkage
has fallen mainly upon the lower grades of
all farm produce; as is ever the case in all
pursuits, unskilled and unthrifty husbandry
must bear the brunt of the decline. Cotton,
Sugar, and Tobacco are exceptions to the
rule of poor crops and the prices of these
great staples promise to be remuneraJive
Notwithstanding heavy yields. Sheep hus-
bandry is the branch of agricultural indus
try which is perhaps more than all others
depressed, as it is most distinctly the victim
of malicious legislation directed against it.,
by national legislature in which that bust
ness which gives employment to the major
ity, and bread to all the people, has been
foully dealt with so often without protest;
being practically without representation in
either branch of Congress and consequent
ly without voice which anybody hears or
heeds. The idea that Farmers have any
grievances is dealt with as joke by
professional politicians and a partizan poll
tical press uuder their control. They know
not, my friends, the men with whom they
have to deal. We have not claimed to have
grievances" but we do claim to have
rights which we are resolved to maintain,
and polcerS we are resolved to exercise in
our own behalf. There are Legislative
measures and legal reforms necessary fol
our own interest, and essential to the well
being of the nation, which can only be car
ried by majority Of the people, against the
rings and monopolies and their attorneys,
who in combination with political Bosses
have SO long misgoverned this country. Il
such misgovernment, inspired by such a
combination of corrupt influences, be a
farmers grievance, it is equally grievance
to every wise and good man in the nation
grievance common to all callings and tc
all honest and patriotic citizens. We feel a
deep sense of the responsibilities which rest
upon us. We see that between the artizani
and laboring men Of various trades and in
dustrial -uations who are from the ne
lcessif business massed together

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Come, cheerful and gay
AS the glad sun in May,
Let us carol away
The bright Christmas day.

Shines white o'er the earth
Then in transports henceforth
Let US shout of His worth.
Our griefs we will fling
To the winds as we Sing,
And our voices shall ring
With the name of our King,

CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING.

Now the Christmas bells are ringing,
And the time is loud with mirth;
Mother! feel my arms are clinging
Round thee at thy cheerful hearth,
Once more at this hour meet thee,
Never hast thou known me miss,
Gladly, fondly, let me greet thee,
With my longest, warm est kiss.
Oh, how many precious blessings
Heaven has given me for my part!
And choicest of these rich possessings
Is my soft halfwoman heart;
This has made my life embanded
With the ties of genuine love,
Twined by friendship rven..hande1,
That death only can remove.
Now the voice Of each sweet sister
Joins to make our Christmas glee:
Each sings sweeter since I've kissed her
Lov'd one, let me sit by thee.
'Tis a happy Christmas, mother.
Look at me and see my joy,
Girls rejoicing in their brother
And the mother in her boy.

The reports of the Committee were
adopted in toto.
The Institute, by vote, instructed the
Secretary TO furnish copies of the proceed
ings to the county papers for publication.
The quality of the work of teachers was
generally good, and performed with enthu-
siasm. Much social enjoyment was expe-
rienced by teachers, patrons, and spectators,
between morning and evening sessions
General good feeling was manifested dur
ing working hours, and sallies of wit and
funny retorts, occasionally enlivened all
present.
The Committee of Arrangements, the
people of Parnassus and vicinity, gave
abundant evidence of their kindness and
genuine hospitality, and entitled themselves
to the pleasant, grateful, and lasting re-
membrance of the teachers of two districts.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, December 8, 1885.
My Dear Mrs. Godaoin::
l am exceedingly pleased to accept at
the hands of Mr.. Collins the beautiful
cane which you so kindly sent to me;
and the manner in which it was envel-
oped and protected by covering, which
| hope is your own handiwork, makes it
all the more valuable in my sight. The
historical association connected with it will
induce me to carefully preserve it.
thank you most sincerely for this proof
of your thoughtfulness and kindness, and
you may be sure that I shall in my
walks frequently have your gift in my
hand.
Yours very sincerely,
