TIE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

a lttlo way up one Of tho Rhcctian Alps,
beneath tho shade Of an old black piuc, grew
Christmas rosc.* The summer had passed.
ana the short days had como, when tho wind
blows and tho snow flies, and tho hardy little
mountain rose had two buds Dear me-"
frettcd tho rose, ~ wish I could blossom
when other plants do. There would be sono
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
blue gentian or tho pretty cycbright, but
with no ono to admire mo- 500 40 usc in
blooming at ALL"
"flo! no" laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, "lIo ho what Il littlo grunl-
bier. The snow and will admire YOU You
arc named after tho blessed Christ child and
ought to be happy and conteAtel. Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
and expand your buds into perfect blossoms;

shall know what it is when tho time comes

Just then tho north wind blow SO lard the
old pine was quito out of breath, and for
sonlo reason ho mover renewed the convcrs;l-

"All tho world is dead except tho pine and

better follow his advice. If was Mladc for
wiso purpose L shall not bo forgotten" SO
shc took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas tho black pinN saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white SHOW
Now, tho two little children OF Klotz the
wool cutter, were nearly hcartbroirn, for
their mother was sick and that morning tho
kind neiGhbor who had watched by her side
through tho night had said, "God pity this
home; l fear your mother will die before
night" Their father sat by the fireplace,
speechlcss with grief. and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crcpt up
to him for comfort. SO ut last they stolo out
of tho door, and, hand in hand, wandered II
short way up the mountain side, following
tho forcster's trucks till they came in sight Of
tho old black pine.

Married by Proxy.

A Galveston (Tex.) special says :
Justice Spann's court was the scene re
Gently Of the first marriage by proxy
that has ever occurred in this city. The
parties to the marriage contract were
Mrs. Antoinette Marsan, widow of the
late G.. i. Msrsan, and Senior Luciano
Calosia, Senior Calosa acting as proxy for
his friend, Senior Collieto Paazzani, OF
Monterey, Mexico: 1t appears that the
dashing widows first husband, the
Senior Marsan, was an invalid for some
time prior to his demise, and in his
search for health went to Mexico. At
Monterey the invalid and his wife So
journed at Senior Paazzani's hotel.
While to the husband the meeting with
the fascinating senior was but the 70
newal of an old friendship formed years
ego in their native Italy, to the widow
it was the beginning of an acquaintance
destined to influence her nature. Short
" after his return to Galveston,
about nine months ago, Senior Mar
san died. Of course Senior Paazzini
was informed of it, and on subsequent
visit began his attentions to the widow.
A correspondence followed, resulting
in an engagement of marriage.
Mrs. Paazzani, having closed out the
business which she has successfully
conducted since the death of her first
husband, leaves tomorrow to join her
second husband. Mrs. Paazzini is e
native Of Italy.

Especial dispatch to the Globe Democrat.l
UNION CITY, TENN, September l.
II transpires that the earthquake re-
ported in to-day's Globe Democrat was
not the only cause Of excitement in our
city last night. Citizens Of undoubted
truthfulness report having witnessed
the fight Of two very large meteors
over the city, one at about 1880 p. NJ,
and the other, an extra "Jumbo "ero-
lite, made its fight at about II o'clock at
night. These two astronomic visitors,
coupled with the gsnteel shaking up Of
terra frma, have set our superstitious
element, especially those Of color, all
sgog, and they declare, with Jasper,
that the "sun do move" and add,
I" The airth am about to be rent in
twain" Ono of our citizens this
morning, when interviewed by your
correspondent, remarked " Child, you
better be sayin' yer prayers, instead or
runnin' round guyin' inherent people
about de visitations Of righteous Pro-
yerdence.''

PHILADELPHIA, September A.
Genoral-Secretary Turner, of the
Knights Of Labor, to-day issued a gen.
eral circular to nine thousand local as
semblies of the order calling for a gen.
eral expression of opinion regarding
the establishment Of a public news
paper to be conducted in the interest Of
the Knights of Labor. The scheme
was suggested at the late Conven-
ton in Cleveland. 1t is estimated
that the total membership Of the
Knights is about one million, and the
per-capita tax Of fifty cents would
yield the sum Of 100000. The
Equity Official Journal Of United
Labor is to be its title, but whether it
shall be daily or weekly still remains
to be determined. Answers to the cir
cular are to be sent to the General Sec
retary-Treasurer soon enough for him
to formulate plans for the presentation
TO the Convention which meets at
Richmond, Va, October 4th.
