made a nuisance of Farmer Sellers.

trained to accurate manipulation as in
the lower grades Of school. The child
wants to be taught to handle plants

them. Here, especially, it is easiest to
learn how to do BY doing.

How slow and soft the snow-dress falls
Upon the vine. deserted walls,
A. IL some gracious soul, intent
Upon the one sweet deed e msnt, :z
Since in it, grace such bounty lay,
Should wrap each bare thing on the way,
Till all things white and whiter grow, ST

With such glow - sunrise kept IT,.
When youth and BENJAMIN were mine.
All! swift the slowest years incline,
And sunrise has NO story now
To move me like che night and snow.
II those unquiet bells would cease
Clashing their peals across this peace,
1t seems tire hours rare silentness
Ecu worldly hearts might chide and bless
and lit the lowest heavenward
To greet the birthday Of the Lord.
! eau M think the loudest bells
Can utter what pure voice tells;
The spirit needs no bra1en tone
TO whisper triumph to His own;
The blessed healing falls to them
Who touch unseen the garments hem;
Aud hidden deeds are waited higher
Than chanting of an angel choir:
Hosana still the mad lips cry,
While still the mad hands cruelty;
But angels watch and women weep,
And theirs the Rising after sleep.
How careth He for Christmas song,
TO whom all days and songs belong?
Only an ebbing love has need
Its high-tide readings thus to heed.
Always the willing angels sing
To WORKOUT workers listening;
Always our Christ Is In the earth,
Always his love has human birth
In Joy that crowns our later morn.
Al in Judean Christmas born.

With worldly hope and wisdom rife,

That needs double grant of grace.
Through all the years Ruth's tender eyes
To mine are openings of the skies,
Though love unsaid be love complete,
I find the special service sweet.
And so, perhaps, these louder chimes,
Smoothing the prose told hours to rhymes
Like some rare voice God sets to round
The Earring ones OF shriller sound;
These spires with grand and silly art,
These broken lilies, and the hush
OF feet where leaning angels hush
May be to clearer eyes than mine
Fresh spellings of tale divine.
And He whose birthday knew no bliss
Except q woman's troubled kiss.
May still forgive the foolish art,
And hide the meaning in his heart.

MISS CLEVELAND seems to be en-
dowed with that good sense which en-
ables her to discharge her social duties
at the White House without producing
murmurs of discomfort. For the New
Years reception, fortunately Mrs.
Bayard is in health warranting her
presence, so that she will not he repre-
sented by her daughter, and the mar
ried ladies of the administration will
all have the places properly theirs.
For the weekly receptions during the
season, Miss Cleveland does not intend
to have the ladies who may assist her
placed in a line, but will have them
scattered informally about the room,
and any question of precedence will be
impossible. Miss Cleveland's social
policy has the approval of the best peo-
pie in Washington society.
The late Robert Toombs graduated
at Union College, N. Y, when he was
eighteen. and began the practice of
law at Washington, Ca, when he was
twenty-one. By the time he was thir-
ty-three he had accumulated from his
practice $4,000, his income having
been $4,000 for several years. Later
in his life, his professional income
amounted to $4,000 annually. A pecu-
liar1ty Of his character was that he was
not born to obey. During the war the
Georgia legislature urged the farmers
to plant no cotton, but raise food for
the army. When he heard of it, old
Bob planted his whole farm to cotton.
THE legislature can't run my FARM
he said, ''such authority was never
delegated to it, and will run my farm
to suit myself" This trait in his char
acter made him an unsuccessful leader:
politics and military life, though he
was himself never beaten in popular
election and was in active public life
from 1887 to 1865, serving in the
State legislature. both houses of
congress % vel az in the
confederate cabinet and army.
