 Let some of your christmas gencr- osity be expended where it will send a thrill of gladness in heart filled with want. It would be crowning virtue to our christian benevolence, If our solicitude and care abounded towards the relief of want and suffering while it is finding expression in costly tokens and gifts to ornament, embellish and win favor. There is a christmas duty as we'll as christmas pleasure. If a committee will take it in hand we will head the list with dollar for the cases of real merit If there be any among us, so that all may join our chorus of thankfulness and joy.

 -DEMoREsT's MAGAZINE for January, 1886, is unusually bright and entertain- | jag. Julian Hawthorne's story is com pleted, and q serial entitled "That Oth- CT Person." by Mrs. Alfred Hart, is commenced. Other good articles are "Victor Hugo," "The City of Skulls, and an "Orange Grove, "A plea for the Jig-saw and Jack-knife" will claim the attention of those who desire to beauti- l fy their homes inexpensively. The de- partments devoted to fashion, art, and household decoration are very full and the pictorial illustrations are excellent. The frontispiece, Naughty Boy" is a new method of photograyure; and the admirers of Ralphael will be pleased to see an engraving Of his fine painting, "St. John in the Desert, which adorns this number.

 --Mention has been made from time to time of the repairs and improve ments being made on the Cum berland Presbyterian Church of this place. But no detailed account of the improve ments has ever been given, and that those who have read .he references may know what has been done we ap- pend the following: The house was thoroughly painted on the outside from the ground to the top nf the cupoIa, giving very bright, cheerful appear ance. The seats were painted and varnished. The walls were wainscoted next to the floor, and papered from that to the ceiling with beautifully flower ed, rich gilt paper. The ceiling over head was papered with an elegant specimen of paper, matching that on walls in figure and color. Considerable display Of taste was manifested in ar ranging the border and trimmings. An alcove was built in the rear of the house. in the shape of half an octagon and in width equal to two thirds the width of the building. The alcove is supplied with four windows, two in the back section of the octagon and one in the next section in either side. These windows and the transom over the door are furnished with imitation of stained glass, which renders them very beauti- ful. The pulpit floor extends back into the alcove, and is the same shape in front The old carpet was taken up and put In the isles and a new one laid in its place. The church house is now attractive and comfortable. The total cost of all this work was $425.20.
