The readers OF, TUE APPEAL will remem-
Der the splendid success achieved last year
by tho Christmas Club and the poor Of
Memphis have doubtless treasured in their
minds the memories OF the good cheer dis
tributed among them through the agency
OF the club. The grand Christmas dinner
in the vacant building on Main street, cor
ner OF Mccall, was but the GROWING
touch TO the series OF benevolent deeds
which preceded 1t. Through the efforts of
a large number OF charitable ladies, assem-
bled together at suggestion in these col
umns that much might be accomplished
TO make Christmas day Of 1883 blessed
memory TO the poor Of Memphis, q fund
OF ample proportions was speedily raised
and expended in relieving the needy and
distressed. Briefly stated, 3Sl families
were furnished with coal. Clothing to the
value Of 800 was distributed among the
deserving and 100 pair OF bare feet
were provided with shoes. On Christmas
Day n royal feast was spread, OF which
hundreds OF poor children partook. This
result was achieved by the united effort
of comparatively small band OF noble
hearted women, and similar scheme of
beneyolence is TO be inaugurated today at
the rooms Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. An ladies disposed 10 assist
in the good work are invited TO attend and
lend their active sympathy and aid.
There Is as much need Tor the interven-
ton Of such a charity as there was last
year, possibly more. There arc quite as
many families who will suffer for the need
Of the coal, shoes and warm raimont
as there were last year, and the Christmas
Club will find abundant use for every dol
lar raised through its fundamentally.
The ladies who contributed actively 10
the success Of tho club last year are urged
TO attend tho meeting in the Young Mems
Christian Association parors this after
noon at O'Clock. and again give the club
the benefit OF their energetic support and
influence.

GET THE BEST"

There Is no man who so imperatively
requires first-class stock as the intelligen,
poor man, says the American Dairyman
The Indifferent, lazy and shiftless poor
man can get along better with that class
of mosuate-producing scum cattle that
through generations of abuse and neglect
have learned to endure the bitter uses of
adversely and to make the most of their
opportunities or, in the words of the YER
%nacular, they can ''hustle'' for them.
They have their wits sharpened by hard
experience just as the newsboys and beg
gars do in large cities. The man, howev-
er, who is poor and at the same time
proud, ambitious and intelligent, and this
describes the mass of Americas young
farmers, must put his wits to work to
find som way for procuring for his own
use the very best quality of cows. He
knows that it does not pay to feed and
handle Indifferent dairy stock; that the
poor cows have to be carried by the good
ones. and are therefore worse than use
less in the herd that they not only take
up room. eat food, require attendance and
run the risk of dying without any chance
OF profit to him, but far worse than this,
they greatly discourage him in the life
work before him.

THEN AND NOW.

A Vermont correspondent of the n. E.
Farmer says there was never a better
line to 'farm it" in Vermont than the
present. Everything excepting wool
brings a good price, and wool cannot
(lways remain where it is. The extreme
Y low price of farms makes it a good time
% buy. Fifty or sixty years ago farm
RS ran in debt for their farms and paid
or them they certainly can do it now.
he one drawback is the price of labor,
which has nearly doubled, yet it is in
part offset by the labor-saving machine.
he mower horse rake, tedder, reaper,
owing, planting machines, were UNI
Known 80 years ago. What would the
armers now think if they had to do their
york by main strength as 80 years ago,
nd sell their produce as it was sold then
butter from 10 to II cts. a pound,
heese 6 cts. per pound, eggs s to II cts.
Ter dozen? The only market they had
br their potatoes was at the starch fac
ories, where they brought from 10 to II
It's. per bushel. Poultry now brings
bore than double. Wood brought then
rom 81 to S1.50 per cord now from 50
b SO, and all kinds of timber and lum-
err in the same proportion. Besides,
that the farmer has to sell now brings
he cash; 80 years ago it was mostly store
ay, and what they had to buy then cost
ouble what it does now. Yet with all
bese great advantages in favor of the
primers at the present time. in Vermont
hrming is not held in as high esteem as
should be. This can be seen in the
Ugh price of labor, the low price of
hrms, and the fact that many of the
hck farms that once supported large
hmilies are now Abandoned Vermont

When the Shah Was Frightened,

But twice in all his travels through
Europe did he evince any emotion.
When he was about to embark for Eng
land he looked out over the sea, which
was as smooth as glass, and concluded
that he would not entrust his imperial
person to the danger of a sea voyage;
and when it was impressed upon him
that he could not get to England from
any part of continental Europe without
crossing an interval of salt water he was
of half a mind to give up that part of his
foreign tour. But curiosity prevailed
and he stepped aboard the deck of the
Vigilant, and in justice to him it must be
said that during five hours of the voyage
he maintained that impassive demeanor
which he had displayed on terra frma,
never exhibiting an outward sign of n
internal uneasiness until the squadron
which had been sent by order of the
queen to meet and escort her royal visi-
tor hove in sight. A look of astonish-
ment came over the face of the shah and
his Oriental followers as they gazed at
the monsters bearing down on them.
When the first man of wal reached q
position exactly abreast of the Vigilant,
and opened fire with the first round of
the royal salute with a gun bigger than
anything ever before discharged in honor
of the Persian monarch, his face lost
some of its color and it grew paler with
each discharge, and when at last some
thing resembling an enormous turtle,
with a huge excrescence growing out of
its back, wallowed by and belched forth
a column of smoke, with an explosion
that actually, for a moment, seemed to
lift the Vigilant out of the water, the
king frowned sternly, though his face
was deadly pale and his Persian attend
ants collapsed with fright. Some fell on
the deck, while others crowded to the
companion hatch and scuttled below
more dead than alive with fright. But
when land was once more reached the
shah resumed his stole bearing and
maintained it thereafter l

Sheep Onterest.
A MISTAKE,

The work of cutting down the iocks in
all this section of the United States still
continues. Individual farmers are oui-
city Kidding themselves entirely of a
kind of stock in which they have lost
confidence, and substituting other varie-
ties. In a good many instances the
change is so great as to mark a kind of
neighborhood revolution. A farmer who
called on us the other day remarked that
the 700 sheep which he had a year ago
were now reduced to Is; and his case
fairly illustrates a kind of movement
which though quiet is having a marked
effect on on the flock totals of this coun-
try. In Pennsylvania the change is very
largely to horses, though since cattle
prospects are regarded as more reassur-
ing there is here and there a manifest in
clination to give them the vacated place.
10 those who are thus sacrificing their
sheep we want to say-we believe,
friends, that you are making a mistake
which you will one day acknowledge

Good Nature versus Egotism.

A remarkably bashful youth - and
what is bashfulness but panic stricken
vanity?-found himself seated by the
side Of a lovely young girl. 1t was his
first party, and this young lady was the
first trial of his social powers.
He was SO embarrassed as to be de-
prived of the power of utterance, nor
could he think of one thing to say to her,
even if he had been able to say it. He
summoned up courage at last to peep
round at her, when he observed that she
was more terrified than he was.
He began to pity her. Then he had
an intense desire to give her the relief
and consolation which he SO painfully
needed himself, and finally he recovered
nerve enough to remark that it was a
very cold evening. In two minutes they
were conversing pleasantly together.
The secret lies here: Good nature
must supplant egotism. Experience and
reflection do the rest.-Youth's Com
