A Christmas Tale
BY INNISFALLEN.
CHAPTER l.

Holly and Ivy! Holly and Ivy! Holly
clock in the old church tower of st. Pat
rick's had chimed the hour of four. An
old man upon whose aged brow the SHOWS
and frosts of sixty winters had fallen was
singing out the vendors old time Christmas
carol along the road that skirts the south
side of the city of Dublin. in Ireland. The
evening was bitterly cold. the snow which
had been threatening since early morning
was quickly assuming a wintry aspect. AS
the old man reached the end of the road
which emerges into Gardiner street little
girl of about eight years ran towards him,
the beauty of her golden ringlets which
flowed in profusiOn around her pretty face
was partially hidden by the falling snow,
but she needed it not; her heart was light
this was Christmas eve and her old friend
Santa Claus-who never yet failed her
was to steal in after she had battled vainly
with sleep and while she lay dreaming that
she was still awake, and place rich and rare
things in that old stocking which she had
prepared with so much care to be the re-
ceptacle of his grandfatherly love and af-
fectiOn.
"How do you sell it. sr?" she asked
pantingly. The old man replied, as he
smiled upon her, ''Sixpence a bundle,
miss" Twill you wait few minutes, sir,
while l run and tell mama?" Il will, my
little angel" said he; and off she skipped,
returning in little while almost breathless
from the eXertion of the journey and her
childish glee at the approach of the festive
hour. II want two buudles. sir, and mama
says to give it to me with lots of berries
upon it and as fresh as you have it, for
Santa Claus is coming tonight, and ex-
pect he will bring my dear uncle with him.
Uncle has been away some place long
time and as this is Christmas, he may come
back tonight"

THE NATIVITY.

o! tits the midnight hour!
The Roman sleeps,
Pillowed in purple power
Ger Jews and Greeks;
Years. oer the head of man,
Have ceased to be-
Since Rome's high walls began
Seven ffty-three!
See! in the East. star of holy light!
Leaps the horizons bar and gems the night
Pulseless-serene-it flngs er land and sea.
Its jewelled ray, and brings promise to Galilee.
Within his palace gates,
Herod the Tetrarch. waits
The break of day;
And. to his council-halls,
Elder and high priest calls
In pale dsmay.
Shepherds awake to greet
The Incarnate One;
And wise men haste to meet
Jehovah's Son;
While all the conscious air resounds again,
With "Halleluiah!' and 'Good will to men,"
Since that bright star was seen,
Ger porch and pine.
Have years gone by-eighteen
And eighty-nine:
Again the season comes with blithesome cheer,
To wither all the woes of yester-year.
Fill high the bowl and mantle red the cup
From East to West;
Shake hands, old friends, and call the
memory up
OF Him Who loveth best;
Let care be laid aside. and grief be done,
At Christmas-tide.
And, in the words of England's laureled son,
''God bless us-every one!'

A BEAUTIFUL ALLEG0RY.

Crittenden, Of Kentucky, was at
one time engaged in defending a
man who had been indicted for a
capital offence. After an elaborate
and powerful defense, he closed his
argument with the following beautl-
full allegory: "When God in his
eternal council conceived the thought
Of mans creation, he called to him
the three ministers who wait con.
stantly upon the thronc-Justice,
Truth and Mercy-and thus address
them: "Shall We make man ?"
Then said Justice: go God, make
him not. for he will trample upon
thy laws" Truth made answer also !:
90 God, make him net, for he will
pollute thy sanctuary" But Mercy,
dropped upon her knees, looking up
through her tears, exclaimed: 80
God, make him-I will watch over
him with my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to
tread!n Then God made man and
said to him: 40 man, thou child Of
Mercy; 60 and deal with thy broth
ers." The jury, when he had finish
ed, were drowned in tears, and,
against their own convictions,
brought in a verdict of not guilty.

The complaints Of merchants,
manufacturers, farmers and shippers
of goods generally of the lack of rail.
road facilities are loud enough to at
tract universal attention, and there
is the usual response in the lamen-
tations of the railroad officials re-
garding the want of cars. For weeks
rolling stock of all the roads of the
country has been entirely insufficient
to accommodate the business offered.
On one road it is estimated that 200
additional cars could have been pro-
fitably nsed, and on another an of
fetal said he was short 400 cars per
day for through freight alone. From
Portland to San Franciscothe reports
of o lack Of cars in all branches OF
the. carrying trade is the rule.

and had no near relatives. He was
a millionaire, his estate being esti-
mated at more than $500, 1000

is set apart for the building and
maintenance Of a public library in

COLD TRUTH In OHIO.

Mr.. Allen o. Myers has done a
prodigious lot of dirty work for the
Democrats of Ohio. He is reckless,
audacious and unscrupulous. He
has represented his employers all the
way from the jail to the Legislature.
When fraud was needed to carry
elections, he forged tally-sheets and
went behind the bars for it. When
crime was to be perpetrated under
the mask of legislation, he was the
most daring leader in the Capitol.
No one knows more OF these dark
chapters.
Mr.. Myers has now shaker. the
dry bones by his bold, breezy warn
ing on the Senatorship. He plainly
declares that Payne's Senatorship
was bought, and admonishes his
party against trying to repeat the
experiment. In q public speech at
the reception of Governor elect
Campbell he said : Will you send
a Millionaire to the United States
Senate 7 If you do, the name of the
Democratic party is Dennis" And

favors, and yet because of the meth.

A GIGANTIC FARMERS TRUST

The organization of farmers into
Changers, Alliances, Wheels, and
com binations by other names, has
for two years been going on at q
much more rapid rate than ever be-
fore. The limit of the old Grange
movement has long ago been pass

tain membership of million, and
movement is on foot to CONSOLE
date the Oranges, the Alliances,
and all the other combinations. An
explanation of this movement, as
well as the aims and methods oil
each organization, (all of which are
secret), will be published in the

MAMMOTH MULTIPLICATION

A problem that at q glance seems
easy enough to tempt many a school
boy to spend some of his spare time
in an endeavor to solve it, appeared
recently in Maine journal, and is
as follows:
Take the number 10. Multiply
it by Itself and yon have 225. Now
multiply 225 by itself, then multiply
that product by itself, and 50 on IN.
til fifteen products have been multi
piled by themselves in turn"
The question aroused considerable
interest, and New England mathe.
matician struggled with the problem
long enough to see how much labor
there was entailed ia the solution,
and finally made the following re-
port, which is anything but encour.
aging:
The final product called for con.
tains 1859 figures 1.-THE first Of
which are 1412). Allowing three
figures to an inch, the answer would
be over 1910 feet long. To perform
the operation it would require about
100000 figures. Ii they can be
made at "a rate of 100 a minute, u
person working ten hours day for
800 days in each year would be %
years about il. II in multiplying,
he should make a row OF ciphers, as
he does in other figures, the nun Der
of figures used would be more than
523, $50, o2S. That would be the pre-.
else number of figures used if the
product Of the lefthand figure IN
each multiplicand, by each figure of
the multiplyer, was always single
figure; bat, as it is NEST frequently
and yet not always, two figures, the
method employed 20 obtain the fore
going result cannot be accurately
applied. Assuming that the cipher
is used on an average of once in ten
times, 4S5,000,000 approximates The
actual number.

The Chamber Of Torture

Is the apartment 10 which the unhappy suf-
ferer from Infammatory rheumatism is con-
fined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reached
that fine preventive. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons of a rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. NeIvines, anodines and sedatives
while having none but specific effect, are yet
verydesirabe at times. Yet they can produce
no lasting effect upon rheumatism. because
they have no power to eliminate from the
blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters does this. and checks at the onset
a disease which, if allowed to gain Roadway. II
is next TO impossible to dislodge or to do more
than relieve. rheumatism, it should be re-
membered, is q disease with q fatal tendency
from its proneness to attack the heart. A
resort TO the Bitters should. therefore, be
prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney complaint. ma
laria and nervousness are relieved by it.

FARMERS SHOULD FAVOR PRoTEc.
TON.

The attorneys for free foreign
trade are persistent in their appeals
to the farmer. Protesting the
utmost solicitude for his welfare,
they seek to mislead him into the
support ola policy that will newt
ably impair the purchasing abilit, of
those who are now his chief custo.
mers. Ninety five per cent. of all
the products Of American farms are
now consumed by the American peo-
pie. A larg majority of these would
be unable to buy in quantity and
quality as they now buy were 1t not
for the wages received for labor in
industries which, under free trade,
would be divided il not altogether
given over to people fed and clothed
from the products Of foreign fields.
In return for his aid 10 overturn-
ing the existing business arrange
ments the farmer is promised lower
prices for what he has to buy, and is
asked to believe that foreign ems.
toners will be found to take the
place of those be may lose nearer
home.
The fallacy of such teaching, as
we'll as the hollowness of the prom.
Use, lies in the assumption that the
farmers success is less dependent
upon a general prosperity than that
of his fellow men in other callings.
Farming is but one of the essentials
to complete national economy, and
a farmer can no more make his busi.
ness profitable in the absence of
good customers, than can the mer
chant or manufacturer. Aud his
customers must necessarily be found
outside Of those who are engaged in
agriculture. Without steady work
and fair wages for laborers, mechan-
les, clerks, and the army of working
people who now find it more for their
interest to buy than to produce the
varied products of the soil they con-
sumo, the farmer would be compelled
to confne his efforts to the few pro.
ducts that can be shipped abroad.
Equally unreliable is the free
traders contention that the farmer
gets no benefit from the existing
tariff. During the year ended June
80, 1889, dutiable field products,
such as live animals, breadstuffs,
milk, butter, cheese, hay, hops, to-
bacco, vegetables, wool, were i'm
ported to the value of over S44, 000,-
600. To this sum may be added the
items of hemp and fax amounting
to S11 800, 900, and the more than
100000 worth of fruits on which
duty was paid. Every dollar exact.
ed from foreigners, for the privilege
of selling these articles in eompeti.
ton with the products of American
fields, served as protection to the
producers Of similar domestic pro-
ducts.
The free trade policy Of England
has reduced the number OF farms, as
we'll as the profits from those re.
naming under tillage, and, as SINH
lar results will surely follow its appli.
cation in this country, the farmer
should be the last man to vote for a
change in that direction.
