GERALD GRIFFIN.

The Christmas light is burning bright
In many village pane,
And many q cottage rings tonight
With many merry strain;
Young boys and girls run laughingly by
Their heart and eyes elate,
can but think on mine, and sigh,
For am desolate.
There's none to watch in our old cot
Beside the holy light,
No tongue to bless the silent spot
Against the parting night.
I've closed this door and hither come
To mourn my lonely fate:
cannot bear my own old home,
It is &c desoia:e!
1eaw my fathers ewes grow dim
And clasped my mothers knee;
! saw my mother follow him.
NY husband wept with me.
Ny husband did not long remain,
His child was left me yet:
But now my hearts last love Is slain,
And am desolate!

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.
BY J. W. s. NORRIS.

When the Christmas chimes are falling,
And the silvery bells are calling
Angel voices DER the snow,
Alb. tbs sweet to list the swelling
OF the merry music telling
OF the blessed long ago.
Telling of tho Star, whose glory
Led the Sages, wise and h oary,
Where the Messiah lay
In the manger- crib reclining,
Softly circled bv the shining
OF tho guiding stars pure ray.
Whispering Of Our Lady peerless.
Kneeling In the grotto cheerless
From the midnight to the morn;
While the angels were descending
And the shepherd lads were vending
70 adore the Newly Born.
OF Saint Joseph, watchful. tender,
(Who could such dear service render
TO the Mother and the Child0
While the beasts were swiftly breathing
Aud the SHOWS were swiftly wreathing
Garlands on the wintry wild.
Signing of the Angels winging
Their sweet way. while sweetly singing
"G]ory unto God above"
And TO earth now brought the message
Full Of such important presage-
"Pcace!--the benson of Love.
OF the shepherds who were tending
Mountain. aocks; the angels bending
Der them, bidding them to go
Where, within the strange, dark bower,
Lily-bud and lily flower
Brightly bloom and warmly glow.
Telling Of the Christ-Child smiling,
By His Baby-ways beg1liling
ALI His patient watchers fears;
King and acknowledgements
TO their humble alteration,
Trusted loye and happy tears.
Ginning how in all the ages,
Through the varied story-pages,
Pure and bright as dark and drear,
Little Jesus in His manager
Leads his lovers from the danger
OF the world to heavenly cheer.

a japanese court room even now ID
far different from an American one.
Imagine room half of which is made
up OF a wooden rostrum three feet high,
and the other half iloored with stone
Upon this rostrum the Judges sit behind
little tables which are covered with green
cloth. In the common pleas and the
preliminary courts there are three OF
these tables The judge sits at the center
one. At his right is the prosecutor or
prosecuting attorney, and at his left is the
clerk. All three have little paint boxes
before them with brushes for writing
in black the : - characters, and no
stenographer5 are used. Close up to this
rostrum, in the pit below, there Is low
railing upon which the prisoner places
his hands and looks up at the judge as he
is tried. There are no seats for the law
vers, ard lawyers are not allowed inside
the bar. 1t the extreme back Of the
room one or two benches stand for the
accommodation Of visitors, and upon
these sometimes sit prisoners waiting to
be tried.
There is TO jury and tile judge ex-
amines the prisoner himself. The prose-
cutor states the case first, however, and
the prisoner can employ counsel. ]
watched or two criminal trials. A
half dozen offenders with handouts on
their hands and with their arms tied to,
gether with ropes, which were also bound
around their waists, were led by three
ropes into the courts. The handouts
were then taken off and laid with the
ropes on the seats while the trial went
on. AS far as | could see the judge tried
to get at the truth and the trial seemed
to be fair.-Frank G. Carpenter.

Now is the time for the Vanderbilts or
any other set of enlightened millionaires
to come forward and undertake here In
this neighborhood an experiment whose
successful working would confer upon
the human family greater benefit than
any novelty or invention or discovery
since the introduction of printing.
We refer, of course, to the new agri-
culture. the great system of subterTa-
neous irrigation, of feeding the roots OF
plants from beneath with o perpetual
supply of moisture. This system was
discovered by that irrepressihle, eiectrl-
cal veteran, Asahel Newton Cole, OF Al
legany county, and the right place to
make conspicuous and triumphant dis
play of its marvellous results is here at
the doors of this metropolis, among the
hills of Westchester. The land is there,
It's long slopes turning to the southern
sun; the living springs Of water are
there: the climate is favorable, the stu.
alton peerless. and all that is necessary
is that some great and far seeing
man, with as much money as he has
brains. should devote little thereof
to work whose success will not merely
make Its capitalist glorious and famous
but also increase his wealth beyond the
widest dreams of avaiice. No matte,
how many millions he may have already
the new agriculture would add to hi:
store, and, in addition, the blessings o.
the human family, the cry Of joy from
poverty relieved, the shouts of hopt
from heart, that dread and doubt, woulc
be piyen to him in full measure and ex
ulting chorus.
What wise millionaire, what rich ant

Did you ever observe u woman Just before
she is lifted into saddle, and few moments
after the horse has struck can5erl She be-
comes changed being. The roses spring to
her cheeks, the light seems to leap from her
eyes, her form is the inspiration OF graceful
action, and she becomes beauteous picture
of moving health And this, after all, is the
best view to take Of horseback riding. Aside
from its charm, its dash, Its buoyancy of mo-
ton, its special or general beauty, it is the
most healthful exercise within the province OF
woman. 1t Is better than dancing, lawn ten
mis-, croquet, rowing, archery. There are
many reasons why it is better, and one OF the
strongest seems 10 bs that it brings continu-
Gus changes of scene, which tend TO rest the
body as well as the mind. The fascinating
effects which it has on the fair rider cannot
be estimated, provided she has well trained
horse and indulges in moderation. Detroit

Children take to water rs naturally as do
ducks, and as repair and waste are, with
them, very rapid. frequsnt bathing is admis-
ble
For the first few days the new born infant
is usually sponged off without removing all
his clothing For this purpose worn nap
kin is used, wringing IL out of tepid water
and rubbing the surface gently. Dry with Il
soft towel and follow with hand friction. As
soon, however, as the band can be removed,
it will be found easy to put the baby into II
bath tub. For this purpose use an ordinary
foot bath, or tub made on purpose for Il
child. Place it on chair or low table Be
sure TO have everything in readiness before
beginning. The clothing should be well aired
and placed within reach, the toilet articles
conveniently near.
Place your left hand under the arms of the
child and your right one around the hips, and
put him into the water. Support him with
the left hand and battle him with the other,
using soft sponge or linen cloth.
In from three 10 five minutes he is taken
out and laid upon the lap, which has been pro-
tected by linen cloth or soft bath towel
Dry him gently with this, and rub him al
over with the hand. Soaps and nursery
powders are unnatural, and not essential &c
cleanliness and comfort; yet they may not
usually be considered iniuious.-ThsK iadsr-
