THE OLD TURKEY-HEN'S LAMENT's.

I mourn as one that struts alone,
Some barnyard all deserted;
My feathered spouse is in the house,
His bones and gibet's sorted
His fattening sides did i'll betide
His neck so proudly arching,
The Ratchet bright did on it light,
And sent his soul amarchng.
His young ones dear bemoan him here
With guileless hearts and teuder;
They did not know how soon they'd go
To roast upon the fender.
OH why was l left here to sigh
Alone in this cold coop,
I would not mind II should find
Myself stewed into soup.
Ali woe is me, ah, woe is he,
And children hotly frying;
Mine is the loss and theirs the sauce
scarce can keep from crying.

There is certain charm about Christmas that
does not attach to any other holiday. 1t may be
that because it is an interesting holiday for the
little folk, that the children take such happiness in
it, The little ones, after ALL are the dearest treas
ures we have on earth, and in making them happy
there is reflected happiness upon ourselves that
carries with it joy and good will
s. Then pealed the bells, more loud and Deep

With peace EARTH good will to men l'--Longfellow

The New Orleans Democrat has an article rela-
tive to the iiteracy of the colored people and the
strenuous efforts that have been made to overcome
this by the South. It says that the Southern
States have doubled their school revenues during
the last eight years, yet Notwithstanding all this
the returns show an increase of illiteracy in that
time. How to reach the poorer class of whte as
well as colored people, is one of the serious prob
lens. 1t is claimed that the taxes paid in the
South are higher in proportion than those paid in
the North for school purposes, yet four out of five
cannot tell for whom they are casting their ballots.
The bequest of Daniel Hand, of Guilford Conn,
of 81 900 for the education of the colored
people of the South, will be hailed with delight by
the Southerners.

Soon the merry pealing of the bells ringing out
on the crisp morning air, will proclaim to waking
world, the dawning of another Christmas Day.
The little ones whose dreams have been filled with
visions of good old Santa Claus with his sleigh full
of toys, drawn by his six famous rendeers will
rub their sleepy little eyes in the early gray of the
morning. then in a twinkling there will be gen
eral rush for the stockings so carefully suspended
the night before. AS treasure after treasure is
brought forth from the depths of the toe and heel,
their gleefu shouts of laughter and varied ex-
CARNATIONS of surprise, will arouse the older men,
bers of the household, who, for time, will forget
in the enjoyment of the children, that many years
have slipped away since they, too, waited and
watched for the coming of good old St. Nick The
day will come and go, with its kindly interchange
of greeting, its sermons and dinners, its happy re-
unions and recoecions-not all, perhaps, un-
tinged with sadness and regrets-then the day with
its pleasures, its hurry and bustle its happy little
surprises, will be thing of the past

II seems appropriate chat the old year shall pre-
sent us the Christmas tide as peace Offering and
with it seek to blot out some of it's transgressions
lnstinctively we feel that the disappointments of
the past are bridged over and with warmth and
forgiveness, peace and good will in our hearts, we
accept the holiday joy of the old year, and as he
passes away we accept his death-bed repentance
and bear him no malice
For once in whole year does the busy, old,
sorrow-laden world put aside its burden and hang
up its stocking. Joy becomes a contagion, the
purse and the heart expand for all humanity, rea-
son resigns to impulse and the world takes new
lease on life Thrifty principles and an all-wise
conscience peep over the shoulders of the children
of men and with smiling indulgence behold their
injudicous investments at this season. This is the
only sentmentalty that America as a nation is
guilty Of For brief spell the race for the dollar
becomes of secondary importance-over all the
star of Bethlehem sheds its kindly beams of prom
Use, the head bends to the heart and the blessing
goes with the giver

Not ike Star of Beihie..e,n.

A dispatch from New Brunswick, N. J., Dec. 21, says: According to
 Prof. G. B. Ierriman, the astronomer of Rutgers College, the bright star seen in the east during the early morning hourS nowadays Is none oth- CT than Venus. Thousands of people have been under the impression that the brilliant orb is the star of Bethle- hem and lovers have for some time presented plausible excuses for remain ing on watch until the very late hours for its appearance. 1t is certainly not the star of Bethlehem, said Prof. Merriman to-day. "Three hundred years ago a bright star appeared in the north which E said t-kave ap- -feared every gee see years since tAe birth of Christ. But this could not have been the mysterious star of Bethle- hem, as we are told that bright wan derer 'came and stood over the place where Christ was It was, without doubt, miraculous appearance that will not be repeated. If the supposed star of Bethlehem returns It will ap- pear near the North star in the con- stellatIon Casslopeia. The star under discussion and the one which has ere ated so much talk and speculation is really Venus"

The struggles of the Antl-Pov erty clergymen to abolish their own pov- erty by means of other peoples money continue to be interesting. It is an- nounced that the Rev. Dr. McGlynn has been presented with $1.2OO by his "old parishloners," and he appears to have the upper hand of his poverty for some months to come. The ad- mirers of the Reverend Pentecost in Newark have hired hall for him there, and he will begin talking against poverty and taking up collec- tions in January. The Rev. Grum- bine of Syracuse is still pursued by certain members of his congregation, and there are threats of his church closing upon him. He says if that is done he will break down the doors, which shows that he is a muscular However little headway the Anti-Poyerty Society may be mak- Ing against the great mass of poverty Tn the world, their success in keeping from want clergymen whose congre- cahons have become tired of support ing them, must be very encouraging.

 Since the raising of the New Mexi- co quarantine on November 1st, 1887, thousands of head of Texas cattle have been driven into our sister Territory.

According to the veterinary sur- geon at Fort Bayard, there are several horses effected with glanders running at large Tn this county. Glanders is a dread disease and regarded as incura- bla It is fatal alike to man and beast. In nearly all cities and states there is a stringent law requiring owners of glandered animals to kill and bury them, and making it the duty of health officers to enforce the law and exact a penalty for disobediance. The disease is contagious among animals and there should be some authority to at once remove this public danger. Cor respOndence between the veterinary surgeon and the territorial cattle san itary board published on the first page to-day shows that there IS no specified authority. However, the board or the board of county commissioners, might assume authority in such an eia9rgen- cy, and have the animals disposed of on the ground that they are Q public nuisance.-Silver City, N.
