A GEM.

Or Christmas Eve the BELLS were rung,
On Christmas Eve the mass was sung;
That only night In ali the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear,
The damscl donned her kirtle sheen,
The hall was dressed in holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry men 20
To gather in the ~istletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all;
Power laid his rod Of rale aside,
And Ceremony doEes hi. pride.
The heir with roses IL his shoes,
That night might village partner choose;
The lord, underogsting, share
The vulgar game of "post and pair"
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage as the crown
Brought tidings of salvation down.
The FIRE, with well dried logs supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide.
The huge hall tables oaken face,
Scrubbed till it shone, the day to grace,
Bore there upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn
BY old blue-coated serving man;
Then the grim soar's head frswsea On high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
Well can the green CARRIED ranger tell
How, when and where the monster fell,
What dogs before his death he tore,
Aud all the batting of the bear.
The wasssil round in coed warn bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, slithely trowls;
There the huge sirlion reeked; hard by
Plum porridge stood, and Christmas pie,
Nor failed old Scotland 10 produce
At such high tide her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskers in
And carols roared with blithesoae din.
If uuneledious was the song
1t was a hearty note and strong.
Who lists may in their nurn airing see
Traces of ancient mystery.
White shirts supplied the masquerade
And smuttered cheeks the visSrs made.
Bat, ali, what makers richly aight,
Can boast OF Dosems hall 80 light?
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Chris na. preached the mightiest ale
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;

CHRISTMAS.

Near the hour OF six,
With pond'rous ticks,
The old clock marks the time.
Another six
And it's magic ticks
Will rhyme with the Christmas chime.
In a cottage home,
IT'S in the gloam,
The old clock ticks SO near
The faistic hour,
Whose is the power
To wake old memories dear.
And gathered are there
Young maidens fair,
One matron on whose knee
A prsttling child
With its eccings wild
Bids homage In resuish glee;
Two s~talwart, brave men,
Whose deeper ken,
Their glaAces bright, reveal,
As with loving zest
In merry jest
Round mothers chair they kneei,
And fond contest
Who she loves best,
To father anon appeal.
He quick replies,
With face drawn wise,
And mischief I'm his eye,
81 must admit
She's a favorite,
The honered one, boys, is l."
So the laugh goes round,
The merry sound
Yibrates with tenderness,
As merE'ries bow,
From the Long Ago,
Draws chords Of past happiness.
The worries of life,
It's cares and strife
Are hap'ly lost TO sight,
For once again,
As In childhood when,
They are all at home tonight.
When the old, old clock,
With tick and tack,
ushers the Christmas in
A scroll most rare
Tbs angels will bear
To Jesus throne. And within
In letters of gold,
The tale be told
OF this united band.
The Sayior's smile.
As he reads the while,
Win i~lunine all the land.
Glad Che bells will swell
With news TO tell
OF peace on earth, good viii,
And every heard
From home apart
VIII up to its utmost eli.
Loud the bells will peal
Their wealth OF veal,
Their ringing joy refrain,
And everywhere
There's "a vacant chair,
EaCn learJ 10 It's pounds Will strain
Thus a subtle power,
The sweet bells dover,
Will link on Christmas day
The hearts that roam
To the hearts at home,
And each for each, they'll pray.
But the wond'rous tale
The bells entail
To none go pure, so sweet,
As to those, who
Old ties, renew
Home friendt, round the hearthstone gree

He sat down then on lis cobbler's bench, ana
he made him q bag to hold,
Packed close and tight, a thousand bright red
crowns Of Venetian gold.

THE Preston Democrat contains petit
ton signed by 1870 of the 225 electors Of
that place, asking for the confirmation of
Thomas Hall as postmaster. The list of
names includes all the ministers of the
gospel in the town, nearly all the county
and village officials, and most of the bust
ness men and property holders. The
Democrat also intimates that the cores
pondence published in the Spring Valley
Vidette purporting to have come from
Washington. and embodying letter of
recommendation of Hall from Congress
man White to the Postmaster General,
was forgery, while the Chatfield Demo-
crat expressly pronounces it such. This
ought to end the matter 50 far as Mr..
Whites allege d connection with the ap-
pointment is concerned. 1t may he said,
however. in explanation OF the qualified
credence given to the correspondence in
question, that long before that production
saw the light, the statement had been
current in Minnesota circles at Washing
ton, and found publicity IN the Washing
ton dispatches, to more than one respect
able journal in this State, that Mr.. White
did write letter of recommendation for
Hall which was subsequently Withdrawn.
There was therefore strong presumptive
evidence in advance that the SpringValley
Videttss pretended letter was genuine
which evidence we regret to be obliged
to say, was materially strengthened by
the rather lax regard for truth and for
high minded conduct generally, which
Mr.. White himself, in his official capacity,
has repeatedly exhibited within the past
three months. Even q member of Con-
gress cannot depart from the strict line
of manly rectitude, without in some
degree, suffering the reactionary conse-
quences, as the Hon. Milo White is Just
beginning to painfully realize in his own
person. -Winona Republican.
