Happy Thoughts.

Love, faith, patience-these are the
three essentials ola happy life.
Every tomorrow has two handles.
We can take hold of it by the handle
Of anxiety or the handle Of faith.
The road to home happiness lies
over small steppingstones. Slight cir
cumstances are the stumbling blocks
of families.
Thurlow Weed said: II knew moth
ing in early life OF these miserable
eight and ten hour systems, and | owe
whatever | have since enjoyed of sue
cess and consideration to the habit, as
an apprentice, a iourneyman, and a
small beginner on my own account, of
devotlng from eleven to twelve hours a
day diligently and cheerfully to active
and healthful physical labor"
Eve"y solitary kind action that is
done, the world over, Is working brisk
ly in it's own sphere to restore the bal
ance between right and wrong. Kind
ness has converted more sinners than
either zeal, elOqUence or learning: and
these three never converted any one.
unless they were kind also. The con
tinual sense which kind heart has of
its own need of kindness keeps it hum
bic. Perhaps an act Of kindness never
dies, but extends the invisible undula-
tons OF its influence over the breath
of centuries.
True happiness consists in perfect
health, a moderate fortune, and life
tree from effeminacy and ignorance

There is a strength of quiet endur,
ance as significant of courage as the

Be not simply good, be good for
something.

foolish.-German Pr0verb.

ChriStm and the Jews.

Rabbi SOnneschein, OF st. Louis, de-
cides that the American Jew can keep
Christmas without in the least violat-
ing his religious convictions. He as
serts that the 25th of December was
celebrated by the pagan world as the
time when the longest night gives way
to the lengthening of the day, and that
the early Christian Church, which had
originally celebrated the natal day Of
ltsfounder in thespring, accepted at the
end OF the fifth century the pagan fes-
tlVal, transferring its celebration OF
Christ birth to December Moreover,
the MaCcabean priests instituted fes-
tival on the 25th of Kisler, the CORE
spending Jewish month, to take the
place OF this pagan feast, when they
had by their victory over the Syrian
King driven out Greek idolatry. The
learned rabbi therefore advocates the
celebration OF the Jewish Hannucah
upon Christmas, adding with the gen
eroslty OF the American jew: "Our
Jewish children may thus learn by
practice and example to respect the
work OF the great Nazarine and the
mission OF his church. 1t may not be
known to all of you that the three
doctors of medieval Judaism have
unreservedly proclaimed the fact that
without the life and work OF Jesus,
and without the continuous zeal OF the
church, the nations OF the earth could
never have been enlisted in the service
OF the true God, whom they learn to
worship and to obey so much through
the fundamentally OF the Christian
church,

KsTEV's CHRISTMAS.
4 TRUE STORY.


At earth's portals Christmas calling,
While the suOwiakes, softly falling
Seemed almost to say,
HAIl eaFth's darkness We would cover,
As anear the angels hover,
On this Christmas Day
Streets were filed with happy people,
While the Joy bells from the steeple
Rang this sweet refrain:
Come ye weary, heavy laden,
Tired age, and Joyous maiden,
Christ has come again.
And amid these people thronging,
Filled with wistful, w0nd ring longing,
stood a little girl that day.
At a windoH where Kris Kringle
Seemed all fairyiand 10 mingle,
In such beautiful array.
An old gentleman came slowly
From t1- Christmas service holy,
Full d kindly thoughts intent;
saw the little ones sad dreaming
Ger the wOndrOus fairy seeming,
Eyes on holden treasures bent.
As he paused, the poor child nearing,
Came in kind tones, bright and cheering,
What you doing, kateyr there ~
"Only looking at the Christmas,
such a lovely, lovely Christmas
And would anybody care
Poor little wall so cold and homeless.
SpaEe the listener then with kindness
"Would you Ike some nice things, too!
Come. the wee ones brown hand taking,
And old Santa Claus o'ertakIng,
You shall have a Christmas, too.
SO the little one fOrsaken,
Seeming most TO heaven taken,
Uttered not a single word,
As they warmed, and fed, and clothed her,
Wrapt in speechless, childish wonder
At the kindness seen and heard
Till were given in generous measure
Varied gifts from toy and treasure,
Doll, and books and mittens red
Then sweet, fearful eyes were lifted
By the little one so gifted;
as you DOd?" she softly said,
And heard an angel calling,
Answer sweet as music falling
Ger the Jasper sea
Thus saith Bethlehem King most holy,
AS unto the least so loWly,
Ye have done it unto ne"

The Birds Christmas Dinner.


In most OF the provinces of Norway
there Is a pretty custom of feeding the
wild birds on Christmas day. All the
animals belonging to a family have
double their usual dinner, and share
in the great festival
The kind-hearted peasants also fas-
ten up wisps OF oat-straw all about
their houses for the birds, who are
quick at telling each other the news,
and docking down in great number to
peck at the grain.
In the towns great punches OF I'M
threshed oats are brought to the
market-pace, and no matter how
poor the people are, they will be sure
to have one bit of money saved to buy
the birds feast.
The little sheaves are seen fastened
on the house-tops and outside the
windows, and nobody in Norway
would frighten bird that day, if he
could help it.
1t certainly is worth while to make
the least of Gods creatures happy,
and many OF those fowls OF the air
who do not gather into barns, are
good servants of the farmer, and eat
up the insects that would destroy his
crop.
Suppose the boys and girls take a
lesson from the NOrwegians this year,
and throw out q dinner Of crumbs for
some OF the birds, and tie a bunch Of
grain here and there on the trees and
fences, for the wanderers who may need
food in the cold winter days that are
O come.

A Variable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1886 OF the sterling Medic a.
Annual, known as Hostetter's Almanac, Is now
ready, and may be obtained, free of cost, of
druggists and general country dealers in all parts
OF the United States. Mexico, and indeed III every
civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere.
This Almanac has been issued regularly at the
commencement of every year for over One-tfth of
a century. 1t combines, with the soundest prac-
teal advice for the preservation andrestOratlOn
of health, a large amount of interesting and
amusing light reading, and the calendar, astrO-
nomcal calculations, chronological items, &c,
are prepared with great care, and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue of HOstetter's Alma
nae for 1856 will probably be the largesteditiOn
of medical work ever publishedin any country.
The proprietors, Messrs. HOstetter 4 Co., Pitts
burgh, Pa, on receipt OF a twO-cent stamp, will
forward a copy by mail to any person who can
not procure one in his neghbOrhoOd.

New Motor for Water Graft.

A 1OO-foot boat with a singular mo-
tive power is building in a Brooklyn
ship-yard, the design Of Mr.. Townsend,
foreman OF the yard. A little ten
horse power steel engine viii be placed
in her hull and used to compress air,
500 pounds to the square inch, which
will then be stored in a vessel similar
to I'll 1se used in soda-wat er fountains.
1t will then be mixed with vaporized
crude petroleum, which forms an eX-
plosive to be fired by an electric spark
through cylinders leading to holes in
the side Of the vessel. This causes a
powerful conclusion on the water
and gives the motive power. There
are two holes on either side, twelve
feet from the stern, which run almost
parallel with the sides. These are
used for forward propulsion. Two
more, nine feet further forward, at
right angles with the sides, will stop
the boat by a simultaneous discharge
or turn her by a single discharge. By
experiments already tried it has been
demonstrated that seventy-tive eX-
ploSions a minute can be obtained,
each one with force enough to blow an
ordinary fagstOne eighty or ninety
feet. The boat has been built for 5.
Secor & Sons Ii IS said that any
kind OF vessel afloat, either sailing or
steam, can be altered in q very short
time and the necessary engines put IN.
The boat when launched will be rugged
as a schooner and the trial will then
take place.

The PigtaiIs to Be Cremated

IfrOm the NiCtOria C0lOnist.1
A short time ago it was ammo unced
that the government had decided to
crop Chinese and white prisoners indis-
crlmlnately. 1t was also stated that the
tails cut from the Chinese would be pre-
served and presented to- them on their
liberation. The government has since
ascertained that with the prospect of
having his locks returned 10 him
the cropping process possessed no
terrors for John. So an edict has
gone forth that the hair of the MongoI
