The night Is starry, cold and still,
The moon is in its glory,
And rising up to meet the blue
The mountain heads CLEAN h0aTy;
AS up the hill and down the dale,
And dashing through the dingle
All overgrown with evergreens,
The merry sleigh bells jingle
Fair cheeks outredden now the rose
Ano beauty's eyes beam brighter;
More music msidens' voices make,
For life itself is more alive,
AS, every nerve tingle,
The blood goes dancing through the veins,
When megy sleigh bells jingle.
What though the Winter King has bound N
The Earth with icy tether?
Love makes il Sum mer in the heart;
And euddled close together,
Abiding DER the frozen ground,
Two souls may meet and mIugle.
Alb. many winsome wife is won
When merry sleigh bells jingle.
Old memories stir IN aged breasts,
Though eyes through tears are twinkIing,
AS, in the frosty night is heard
Afar the silver unkling;
And grandma sitting snug at home
Beside the glowing ingle,
Grows young and is girl again
When merry sleigh bells jingle.

custom of husband and wife to discuss

These apparent spots, which are gener-

in fact, the apertures through whic n
air is admitted into the system, anu are
generally formed in such manner
that no extraneous matter can by any

they are furnished with pair OF horny

LOVES CALENDAR.

A young years freshness In the air,
A spring-tide color in the wood; -
The flowers in springtime most are fair
And life in spring-tme most Is good;
For why!-I will not let you hear
Until the summer is a-near.
A summer all Of burning lights
With crimson roses, passion red,
Aud moonlight for the hot, white nights,
Aud jasmine flowers, sweet dew-fed;
Why has each rose a double scent!
You may divine when 1t is spent.
Autumn with shining yellow sheaves
Aud garnered fruit; and half regret
To watch the dreary falling leaves
And leaden skies above them set;
And why e'en autumn can seem dear
Perchance you'll guess when winters here
Winter, in wide. snow-c0yered plains
And drifting sIeet and piercing wind
That chill the blood within our veins,
But our warm hearts can never lind
Alb, little love, you guess, L know,
What warns our hearts in sp te OF snow.

The official announcement from st. Peters
burg that previous to the departure of the
car for Southern Russia he gave an audience
to q number of Abyssinian priests in indis-
putable evidence of the close relations exist
ing between France and Russia, and is re-
garded in diplomatic circles as an answer to
the recent sharp reply of Signor Crispi, the
Italian premier, to the French note
respecting the capitulations at Mas
sowah. Those European states
men who contended that the net result OF the
correspondence between France and Italy in
relation to Massowah was to establish more
completely than ever the isolation of France
in Europe have had their confidence in the
maintenance peace through these means
rudely shaken by the action of the car
which evidently means that Russia will en-
courage Abyssinia to maintain her claims
over Massowah, as well as to Zula, another
Red sea port, which Italy has taken possess
sion Of The relations of France and Italy
have never been cordial since
the first indications of a.
French movement eastward from
Algeria. Italy regarded Tunis as part of
her own future sphere ofinfuence, and France
has all along disliked the growth in the
of navy which, with the as
sistance of a single ally would be able to
seal up all the French ports. The entry of
Italy into the German alliance and perhaps
still more, the understanding which, of late,
has SO often and SO loudly been declared to
exist between Italy, Austria and England,
enough aroused French sensibilities.
