A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

"God give you a Merry Christmas,
And bright and glad New Year;

Firm friends your days to cheer;

How the Ruggles got Ready for the
Christmas Dinner Party.


Before the earliest Ruggles could wake
and toot his ive-cent horn, Mrs. Ruggles
was up and stirring about the house, for
it was gala day in the family. Gala day :!
| should think so! Were not her nine
"children" invited to a dinner-party at
the great house, and weren It they going
to sit down free and equalwith the might
lest in the land? She had been prepar-
ing for this grand occasion ever since the
receipt of the invitation, which, by the
way, had been speedily enshrined in an
old photograph frame and hung under
the looking-glass in the most prominent
place in the kitchen, where it stared the
occasional visitor directly in the eye, and
made him pale with envy;
"BIRD's NEST" Dec. II, 19S-.
DEAR MRS. RUGGLEs Il am going to
have dlnner-party on Christmas day,
and would like to have all your children
come. L want them every one, please,
from Sarah Maud to Baby Larry. Nam
ma says dinner will be at half past five,
and the Christmas tree at seven, SO you
may expect them home at nine O'Clock.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, am yours truly.
CAROL BIRD.
Breakfast was on the table promptly at
seven O'Clock, and there was very little of
it, too, for it was an excellent day for
short rations, though Mrs. Ruggles
heaved sigh as she reflected that even
the boys, with their India-rubber stom-
achs, would be just as hungry the day af-
ter the dinner-party, as if they hadnever
had any at all. AS soon as the scanty
meal was over, she announced the plan
of the campaign. "Now, Susan, you an
Kitty wash up the dishes an Peter, can't
you spread up the beds, SOFT [ can get to
cuttin' out Larry's new suit? Iain't sat-
isfed with his close, an thought in the
night of a way to make him a dress out
of my old plaid shawl-kind O. Scotch
style, yer know You other boys clear
out from under foot Clem, you and Con
hop into bed with Larry, while l wash
yer under-fannels; 'twon't take long to
dry 'em. Sarah Maud, think 'twould
be perfectly han some if you ripped them
brass buttons off yer uncle policeman's
coat an sewed 'em in row up the front
O. yer green skirt. Susan, you must
iron out yours and Kitty's aprons: an
there, | came mighty near forgettin'
Peory's stockin's Icounted the whole
lot last night when was was him of 'em,
an there amt but nineteen anyhow yer
fiv 'em, an no nine pairs mates no how;
an / amt goin' ter have my children
wear odd stockin's to a dinner comp'ny,
brought up as Twas! Ely, can't yer run
out and ask Mis- Cullen ter lend me
pair O. stockin's for Peory, an tell her if
she will, Peory'll give Jim half her candy
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-12-25

Peory was young and greedy, and
thought the remedy so much worse than
the disease that she set up deafening
howl at the projected bargain-ahowl so
rebellious and so out of season that her
mother started in her direction with
flashing eye and uplifted hand; but she
letit fall suddenly, saying: "No, l won't
lick ye Christmas day, flyer drive me
crazy but speak up smart, now, n say
whether yer'd ruther give Tim Cullen
half yer candy or go bare-legged ter the
party?"
Thematter being put SO plainly, Peoria
collected her faculties, dried her tears,
and chose the lesser evil, Glenn having
hastened the decision by an affectionate
wink, that meant he'd go halves with
her on his candy.
"That's lady," cried her mother
"Now, you young ones that .ain't doin'
nothin', play all yer want ter before
noon time, for after We git through eatin'
at twelve o'clock men Sarah Maud's 60
in ter give yer such washin' an comb
in and dressin' as yer never had before
an never will agin, an then Pm goin' to
set yer down an give yer two solid
hours trainin' in manners; an 'twon't
be no foolin', neither"
"All we've got to dos to go eat :"
grumbled Peter.
"Well that's enough" responded his
mother. "There's more'n one way of eat
in, let me sell yer, and you're got heap
to learn about it, Peter Ruggles Land
sakes, l wish you children could see the
way was fetched up to eat-never took
meal o. vittles in the kitchen before I
married Ruggles; but yer can't keep up
that style with nine young ones'n yer pa
always off ter sea-"
The big Ruggleses worked so well, and
the little Ruggleses kept from ''under
foot, so successfully, that by one o'clock
nine complete toilets were laid out in
solemn grandeur on the beds. I say
'complete," F." but do not know whether
they would be called so in the best socie-
ty. The law of compensation has been
well applied; he that had neck tie had no
cuffs; she that had sash had no handker-
chief, and vice versa; but they all had
boots and certain amount of clothing,
such as it was, the outside layer, being in
every case quite above criticism. ''Now,
Sarah Maud,' said Mrs. Ruggles, her
face shining with excitement, "every thing
is red up an we can begin. I've got a
boiler'n kettle'n a pot O. hot water.
Peter, you go into heback bedroom, an
III take Susan, Kitty, Peory and Cor
nelius; an Sarah Maud, you take Glenn
n Ely, n Larry, one to a time, an git
as fur as you can with 'em an then I'll
finish 'em off while you do yourself"
Sarah Maud. couldn't have scrubbed
with any more decision and force if she
had been doing the floors, and the little
Ruggleses bore it bravely, not from nat
ural heroism, but for the Joy that was
set before them. Not being satisfied,
however with the 'tone" of their com
plexions, she wound up operations by
applying little Bristol brick from the
knife-board. which served as the proverb-
ial ''last straw" from under which the
little Ruggleses issued rather red and
raw and out of temper. When the clock
struck three thev were all clothed and

throw up the sponge. Though Kilraln's
second, he was Sulllvan's man. The re-
port that Kilrain was severely punished
was rubbish, aud he was 10 better form
the day after tho fight than on entering
the ring. Sullivan was worte dishgurcd
than Kilraln.
Mitchell denied the truth OF the reports
that he had quarrel with Kilrain, and
said that he and kilrain were good

changing his routes and by disKuintng
himself as a clergyman, q farmer and a
