TIE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

A little way up one of the Rhatian Alps,
beneath the shade Of an old black pine, grew
Christmas roses The summer had passed,
and tine short days had come, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds. "Dear me-
f'etted tie rose, II wish l could blossom
when other plants do. There would be somo
pleasure in displaying oneself FOR the dainty
blue sentian or the pretty eyebright, but
with 10 one to admire me, SEQ no use II
blooming at all"
aHo. no." laughed tie old pine, waving his
shaggy arms. 'Ho! ho! what Ettlc gruni-
bier. The Snow and l viii admire you. Ycu
are named after the blessed Christ child, and

through the deepening snow, little friend,

sne took good caro- Of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through tho white snow.
Now, the two little children Of Klotz. the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick, and that morning the
l:ird neighbor who hcd watched by her side

We publish bo!ow, a kind express
ion to the Sentinel, from Colonel
Vance's paper. the Galiipoiis Bulle-
tin, the leading Democratic organ in
the OHIO Valley.
The friends of the Sentinel will
thank Col. Vance for his tender of
good feeling for the Democratic or
gan of the Hooking valley:
For nearly fifty Years the Demo
Gratis of Hooking have had, in the
Sentinel, an able. fearless, outspokcn
organ and to lis efforts, more than
all else, Is due the fact that the coun
ty has maintained its position in tie
Democratic column. Through good
report aud evil report. the Sentine!
has been faithful When attacked
by foes within and Toes without, the
Sentinel hss carried aIoIt the flag of
Democracy, and never allowed 1t 10
trail in the dust. 1t has been true to
The cause IN its gloomiest days, and
when defeat came and the ontlook
for the future WAS darkest, it carried
to its readers words OF ch, CT and IN
spiration, and organized the legioi S
for the next contest We have rehd
the Sentinel for thirty years, ard
speak adYisedly when we say that ,as
a party organ. it has been a power
fer good. and has never swerved from
the path of duty Or the faith OF the
fathers.
There is room for one Democratic
paper in HecKing, and no moro. The
establishment OF another paper there
will tend to weaken the party and
encourage the Republicans. Tie lat
ter always seek to foment strife with
in tho ranks of the Democratic hosts.
hoping thereby to win the tatt!e.--
The Democrats of Hooking should
not give assistance to any movement
that may tend 10 dIsorganization, no
matter from whence it may proceed.
Tie Sentinel, which has fought an
hundred battles for Democracy, and
never turned lis back to the enemy,
should continue to receive the undi-
vided support Of the party.

MAS PAf:TT.
Honor, aged 20, and her Aunt Margaret,
aged 3S and unmarried, q maintained them
selves by keeping morning sci'ooi for young
ladies in Paradise row, one OF the back
streets OF Camden Town, London, which
consists of ten mean little houses. Aunt Mar
garet was the daughter of the rector of Bray
leigh. and Honor was her sisters child. Tho
sister had married IN artist, and she and her
husband both died when Honor was Il mere
baby. Her aunt and grandfather had elu-
Gated her. Soon after the rectors death the
two ladies were impoverished by the failure
of the bank which containei their little store
OF wealth. So the school was opened, and
they got on fairly well, enjoying their indie
pendence, although hot il receipt of very
promising income.
Honor had an uncle-hc- fathers brother
the rich Mr. Bryson, who, although he gaye

niece and her aunt TO spend tho holidays at
Lis house As the Christmas OF 1872 drew

sen.
There was reason for this beyond what
the two disappointed ladies could dream of.
Tie Brysons had iaa'riagealile daughter,
and there was certain Sir Edward Dusart
who, they thought, was about to propose to
.Lcr, ard Aunt Bryson had discovered that
Eionor was mIcil too han;lso:ns and attractive
to haze around when su:.!, an important pos

fondIy dreamed that Sir Edward cared for
Eonor, whom he had met more than once at
Unclcs Bryson,s But when sl.e beard that he

The Hooking Sentinel

las just Issued PROSPECTUS for the
coming year dating from July, its natal
month. 1t sounds like trumpet blast.
1t denounces implacable war against the
party which through its long tenure OF
power has inflicted so many and so great
wounds upon the body polite.
We have no doubt the SENTINEL will
perform to the very latter. IT not to 4
aiiier measure, all the promises. menaces
aiid movements set forth in its manifesto.
No meager hand holds the pen-nlightisr
than the sword-which for years past has
filed every week the columns of the SEN
TINEL with the keenest. inont trvEchent
and best considered articles--articles
many Of them extensively copied by the
press and eagerly absorbed ami assimii.-
ted by thoughtful spirits all over the
State and country.
1t has been the peculiar good fortune of
Hooking county that its organ, the SEN
TINEL. has from the very beginning beeu
in careful and competent hands, aud the
doctrine CT true Democracy has been so
persistently preached and ilistrate3 in
