CHRISTMAS.
Harner's Weekly.


christmas comes but once year,
was the old saying by which generos-
ity was exhOrted to be more generous,
and to breach another barrel. But the
spirit of Christmas shows itself To be
so truly benignant and beneficent up
on its own day that it might well be
entreated to come more than once a
year. Why not on every day I 1t
would be announcement, undoubtedly,
| to have perpetual Christmas tree,
and hang the stocking every night by
the hearth, and to listen for the tink-
ling bells of the airy reindeer. The
Christmas tree could hardly come to
fruit every morning, the disappointed
stocking wOuld hang limp, and how
could the faintest sound of the bells of
Santa Claus be heard in the dog days
But the perpetual presence of the spir-
it of Christmas would not imply per-
petual snap dragon and kissing under
the mstletOe. The spirit of Christ
mas is that of charity, and what an
astounding revolution it would effect
IF that spirit should enter into every
department of life for one year! Imag-
inc the results of actual charity in So
ciety, in politics, in the church! Can
any Idncy properly ueplcG MrS. UTun-
dy speaking of her "friends" in the
spirit of Christmas, or Il political party
taking a fair or generous view of the
other side, or one sect SHINING by an
excess of kind feeling for another In
trade suppose the rule of cGredt emptOr
let the buyer beware Ito be suspend
ed ; in politics, the maxim of the devil
take the hindmOst to be spurned; in
the church, the exhortatiOn, little chill
dren love one another to be Obeyed.
The imagination reels before such
millennial suggestion. The spectacle
would work the miracle that seemed
impossible, for Santa Claus would
hasten at midsummer to see, and
would stay during the sight, and the
old saying wOuld be TRANSPORTED into
a new form, "Christmas comes all the
year."

Logic is Logic.

A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper which carries the sleeper while
he sleeps runs. Therefore, while the
sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleep
er carries the sleeper over the sleeper
under the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper jumps off the
sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the
sleeper by striking the sleeper under
the sleeper, and there is no longer any
sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the
sleeper.-[San Diego Union.

H0lSt1ilS for Beef.

As proof of the superiority of Hol-
stems as beef cattle, we call attention
to the following statement:
In the winter of 1884 and 1885, we
caused to be slaughtered the recorded
liolstein bull Syracuse (S22), calvcd
April 24th, 1882; the recorded cow
Signet QSlO, calved April 9Th, 1880,
and Little Wonder Q7sS), calved May

Syracuse and Little Wonder had not
been fattened for beef, and Signet we
had fed for some time, but she was not
what beef men would regard fat.
Taking everything into consideration,
we think this shows decidedly to the
advantage of Holsteins as beef animals.
