AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

BY order of the First Baptist, church, its
trustees have called meeting of the
church for Tuesday. Dec 80. 1890, at 7:3O
p. m, for the purpose of considering an
offer of $4,000 for the church property at
the corner of Market and First streets.
This is meeting of considerable i'm
portance and one which it is thought will
be attended by large per cent of the
members. The offer is made by the
Masonic order with the view to erecting a
Masonic Temple. The matter has been
under consideration for some time and the
order was presented with a number of
for locations, some of them
quite as cheap as the one under considera-
tion but the locations not as acceptable.
As they desire good location and intend
to erect one of the finest buildings in the
west they want to close the deal soon.

For the EagIe.

Twas nearly the end Of the year,
And Christmas was coming space.
A mother spoke thus to her child
A smile on her kind, loving face
"Come, listen to what shau say,
think must tell you my dear.
Although am sorry must,
II really Is time you should hear
That Old Santa Claus is myth;
So now put it out OF your head.
For he's not the one brings you gifts
It's papa and mamma instead"
The blue eyes looked wild at the words.
And tears stood just ready to start.
That mamma could say such thing,
And she with Old Santa must part;
o, sore was her heart all the day
To think she had been so deceived;
The world seemed quite hollow and false
Could anyone now be believedl
II think III not say any prayers
She said as she climbed into bed.
NO Santa Claus, there is no God;
It's papa and mamma instead"
And Oh! how her parents were shocked
hear such q fancy expressed,
That she should have any such doubt.
1t made them feel deeply distressed;
And long did they labor in vain
This state OF her mind 20 correct
TIL at last they did fully succeed,
Fen more than they ere did expect.
And oft with a smile she looks back
To this earliest trial Of her life
She fully atones for her doubt,
For now she q a minister's wife.
