- eanfa Claus has come again."
M x1ch mans children cry,
ma neanh glows in their ruddy cheeks
A. they rum shouting by
@ not envy them their toys,
Nor would check their glee:
i6ut oh, I wish that Santa Claus
would visit Sue and me!
my csy he's merry, kind, and free;
Dun an very sure,
Tnoush this may be his character,
fHe ooe8 not Ike the poor
for Il he did, he'd call OF them,
And give them of his store,
fmeoeed OF atriding coldly ON
fast every poor mans door.
% not want his pretty toys,
{ yds candies or his fruits
I'd rather have. by far. a frock
Or pair Of winter boots,
Or nice warm stove to sit by,
Or . bonnet for the street,
Or pair Of woolen stockings
Or . loaf Of bread to eat
Oil II were old Santa Claus,
know what would do:
I'd visit rich mems houses,
But I'd visit poor homes, too.
And II blessed the rich mans child
With toys and dainties sweet,
I'd give the poor warm clothes TO wear,
And food enough to eat.
I'd go to every lonely hut,
And every palace grand,
Ana scatter presents everywhere
l With an unsparing hand.
And Christmas morning. when the bells
} Gave out a joyful sound
Not one sad face or bleeding heart
shouh IN the world be found.
3! II were old Santa Claus
ID make all sad homes bright;
Soys should not swear and lie, and steal
4 Nor parents drink and ight;
Nor should poor homeless wanderers
Be treated cruelty,
While plodding through the bleak dark streets
Like little Sue and me-
But am not old Santa Claus;
I'm but a beggar girl,
Who's buffeted and kicked about
In the great city's whirl.
Not one kind voice addresses me-
None heed the pangs feel,
And SO to keep myself alive
have 70 beg or steal.
Oh, meni who believe that Christ the Lord
Was poor while on the earth,
!. Steel not your hearts against us
On tho morning Of His birth;
But ss your well-clad little ones
Throng round you in their glee
Give one kind thought TO such poor waits
As little Sue and me.

The O;den Song.

Come, sing the olden song once more!
The Christmas carol sing;
With solemn joy, from shore to shore,
Let earth her tribute bring.
And she fulfilled those prophet dreams;
That Hebrew vision old;
From Bethlehem's stall a glory streams
That makes the future gold.
golden future-health and peace
To all beneath the sun;
A time when wars aud wrongs shall cease,
And heaven and earth be one.
But this our trust through long delay,
With no weak doubts defiled;
And be in all our hearts to-day,
New born, the Eternal Child.

Resuscitation After Death.

The Medical News has an article
upon resuscitation after death which,
if extensively read by the laity, is sure
to occasion doubt and anxiety in the
minds of many persons. After show
ing that two kinds of death-somatic
and cellular take place before life
has completely faded from the body to
be recalled, the article points out the
Importance of physicians properly dis
tinguishing between the .wo and re-
newing or abandoning their efforts at
resuscitating as circumstances direct.
Somatic death may be briefly described
as the failure of the main organs Of the
body, the braio, heart, and lungs, to
perform their functions, while cellular
death is where the cells or tissues of
the body die. Both may occur at the
same time, but, the writer urges, the
former may take place without the
latter, and often does, aud in all such
cases there is chance of resuscitating
the dead person until cellular death
supervenes. Authentic instances of
such resuscitation are given-among
others, the case Of a man whose body
remained at the bottom of u shallow
stream for fully half an hour before it
was taken out. He was resuscitated
after several hours of unremitting
labor. But more remarkable case
Was that vouched for by Professoc
| Armor. A friend of his died from
Indian hemp poisoning. The physi-
clan racked his brain for more than an
hour for some means of restoring hi,
friend to life while he lay dead in his
presence, and at length called To his
aid sturdy negro. They worked
manfuily for four hours. During all
that time there WAS not the slightest
sign of life, bat at its expiration u
slight movement of the lips was de-
tected, and the stethoscope disclosed
ian occasional, light, muifled sound
over the heart" Their efforts were re-
doubled with the result that respira-
tioI and circulation were very
slowly re.established. and conscious
ness returned after many hours. The
man lived for many years afterwards
indeed, up to few years ago, aud
was prominent New England banker.

A Mountain sinking.

The miners in the White Bridge
tunnel of the Delaware & Hudson
Canal Company at Carbondale, are
ordered out on account of the burst
ing of the pillars and the settling of the
roof and the ground above 1t.
One of the men employed on the
extreme end Of the workings describes
the cracking and roaring Of the earth
as being hundred times louder than
the most terrific thunder storm he
ever heard. Great pieces of coal were
forced from the sides of the pillars,
ratified along the walls and tore away
the wooden props which supported
the roof. These missels were sent
with swiftness of canaan balls. Com.
ing from all directions, it was foolhardy
to attempt to enter the gangways
leading to the under chamber excava.
tions.
The entire mountain lying west of
the city, extending from the entrance
o. the tunnel to point near the sum-
init pond, near Coles Gap. is seriously
disturbed by this settling OF the exca-
waited portions. The area actually
undermined is fully two miles in length
by about three-quarters of mile in
width. The coal in the first vein has
been removed and the mining opera
tlons are confined to the second or
bottom vein, as it is familiarly called.
The roof rock is close grained and
is what miners call 'strong cove,ing,' >
the average thickness exceeding fifty
fee'. Oyerlying this rock is the sur
face covering, which is not less than
forty feet deep and is composed chiefly
Of shelly rock. This great body Of
earth and rock has been supported by
the pillars of coal, as the wooden props
placed 10y the miners in the top vein
have long since rottei away.
Five hundred persons are thrown
out of employment and The suspension
of work will be must expensive to the

The admission of the four new
Northwestern States (the two Dakotas.
Montana and Washing,on) will un-
d9ubtedly greatly stimulate lmmig,a
tion. not only there, hut 10 the re-
maining Territories, and it is likely
that before 1000 all Of then will have
been received into the Union. If we
indulge our fancy sufficiently TO sup
pose that by that time the Indians
will have been made citizens, aud the
Indian Territory will have been
erected into State, the Union will
consist of forty eight States, there
will be forty-eight stars on the fay
where there are thirty eight. and the
membership of the Senate will be
ninety-six, instead Of seventy six, as
now. making it still one of the smallest
of the important legislative bodies Of
tae world. When this process has
been completed there will be literally
no more States to adopt unless our
nelghbers across the Canada border
conclude to come in and make one
circle of the great English speaking
family in America. All of the States
vet to come are of vast size. The
smallest is an empire beside which the
Empire State seems almost puny.
Yet the populations are not large
enough to admit of division now, ex-
cept in the case of Dakota, and the
anxiety felt i'll all 10 gain admission
will eifectually prevent the growth of
any sentiment in favor Of division.
Once in the Union, experience shows
that division, except under phenom-
two Virginians, seems All impossibilit,.
The people of Texas have the right to
demand under the organic law its divi-
sion into several States, thus multiply.
ing their present power in the Senate.
But the very suggestion of such All idea
only few months ago was received
by the press with universal ridicule.
The same proposition has been made
concerning California, only to be
secuted. IL has often been proposed
that New York City and the surround
ing territory, including the suburban
towns, should be set off AS one State,
and the remainder of the State as
another, but we venture TO say that it
would be as easy to divide London
from England as to induce the people
of New York to sacrifice their just
pride to this great Commonwealth
N. Y. Tribune.
