THE TRIBUNE AS AN EDUCATOR.
DEAR TRIBUNE: Icheerfuly write you, at fathers

CNE the best paper published, because II contains
valuable reading, much needed at the present
time We know the stories are based on solid facts;
that they contain nothing of doubtful import, SO
characteristic of present literature. Time passes
away quickly scanning It's eniicing pages, and we
look forward TO its weekly visit with pleasure.

Of his time away from home but during the long
Winter evenings i would read him an account OF

lines on
DECEMBER.
December cold and hard and stern,
Still sings the same Old story
OF leaden skies and piercing gales
And Autumn ) fading gloryi
December tells her bitter tale
And, shivcring, we receive it;
fet, when we turn TO indoor joys,
We hardly can believe il.
December glads the heart of youth
Earth merry sons and daughters
BY chaiuing in their icy bands
The bright and ripping waters.
December sen6s gay parties out,
And sets the sieigh-Des ringing,
Each moment bright, each gliding hour
some enjoyment bringing.
December makes our busy hands
Work swift and well for others
And calls TIE TRIBUSE-yes, the world,
Our sisters and our brothers!
December, when the flowers are dead,
sends blossoms in their places
The tender flow Iets of the heart,
That glow in happy faces,
