In his recent speech at Boston banquet,
Mr.. Grady, the editor ofthe Atlanta, Georgia,
Constitution, suggested that it would have
been better that the eolored men of the South
had not been given the ballot. 10 this the
~ y. Herald says it is significant fact that
no appreciable public opinion in New England
or elsewhere in the North, has taken serious
exception 10 Mr.. Grady's opinion.

Scarcely day passes without the record of
a barn destroyed BY FIRE They used to be
the safest risks taken by insurance companies,
but now the most dangerous. The great
majority Of these fires, because mysterious,
are ascribed to incendiarism. But the cause
of them, or the greater part Of them, IS, no
doubt, the match, the pipe, and the cigar.
In other words, the widespread habit Of
smoking, added to general careiessuess, are
the chief ineendiaries so destructive to barns
at the present day. The tramp is doubtless
responsible for a large share Of them, but not
all. The pipe and the match are responsible
for many of the sins charged 10 him.

BY CHARLES T. WRIGHT.
The chill of a bleak December
Falls cold. and silent, and dread;
On the whitened homes of the living,
Ger the graves of the sleeping dead;
The wintry air bears sadness
Upon its snowy breath,
And every wind that passes,
Seems chanting a dirge of death.
All over the form of nature
Her ghostly wrappings fall
Sad emblems of the whiteness
That Grapes the funeral pail,
And it seems to our weary senses
As the death dirge still floats by,
That every joy we treasure
Must turn to grief and die;
That all of springs rare beauty
And all of summers bloom
Wait but the SHOWS of winter
To fashion them tomb.
But see around the dial
On this December night,
The tireless hands are moving,
Till now they stand upright
With sudden, startling clGarneSS
sound breaks ON the ear;
1t vibrates, thrills and trembles
With music sweet ard clear.
1t speaks stand end listen,
A great bell swings on high;
He lives! He Bees" It's ring ing.
And Christm4 As cannot die
He lives yes lives .'' l echoed,
And still will earth and Heaven
Find gladneSs in the day
When Christ to men was given
While saddened hearts need comfort.
While human souls can give
A touch Of tender pity
This glorious day viii live
So long as memory quickens
our dead thoughts OF the past.
With all its cherished sweetness
This Heaven-born day will last
SO long as Hope looks upward
Where Heavens bright planets burn
Earth with her swelling praises
VIII hail itS glad return.
While DER Judea's mountains
The morning stars shall sing.
The world with joy will honor
The birthday OF her King.
Amid earth's regal spleudors
Ofcuowu or diadem.

sherman's Election Bill.
From the New York World.

Senator Sherman's Federal Election Bill
is one of the most unpairiot1e measures ever
introduced into Congress. This bill proposes
10 take away from the people OF the Congress,
ioual districts all control over the election OF
their own Representatives. II offers bu6e
10 every State to put the choice Of Presiden-
tial electors under Federal supervision by an
agreement to pay the expenses Of elections so
supervised. Il provides for the appointment
of an army Of United States election officers
ito be appointed By Mr.. HarriSonl who shall
have the direction Of the next Presidential
election. What chance would there hs under
such \ law for free expression OF the popu
lar will? If it should ever become law, as
We trust it will not, the attempt would be
revolutionary AS It is now treacherous.

Happiness in Doing Good.

A big man walked down Fourteenth
street at about o'clock in the afternoon.
He was faultlessly dressed with flower
in his coat lapel and gold-headed cane
in his hand. His moustache was gray
and his face little flushed. he looked
to be about fifty years old, and has been
taken for prosperous New Yorker. de
was extremely dignifed. Nobody
would have suspected from his walk
that he was drunk. His inebriety was
of the sort which does not extend below
the neck. His legs were perfectly sober:
but he removed his hat and made a
stately bow to an old darky who was
passing in coal cart. A red hsndker-
chief about the colored mans neck had
apparently led him to believe that an
elegantly attired lady was going by IN a
landau.
Just above G street q poor, measly
cur dog lay on the pavement in the sun.
The big man stopped and looked at him.
The dog feebly wagged his tail, but was
either too poor or too lazy to get up. q
sympathetic and benevolent look came
into the big mans face Out from his
trousers pocket he pulled aroll of bills.
It was three inches thick. There were
tens and twenties, and there must have
been hundreds of dollars in the roll.
Carefully picking out dollar bill he laid
it on the pavement just by the dogs
nose.
"Here, poor doggie," said he, "go buy
Yourself q bone" and as he passed on
down the street his face was radiant
with the consciousness of a good deed
done. - Washington Post.
