the bluntness and independence of General
Sherman's character He was no respecter OF

Johnson and Stanton at the time that they re-
fused to coincide with his arrangement with
General Joe Johnston. Many stories are told
here at Washington regarding Sherman's actions
at this time. He denounced Johnson and STAN

cowardly Falstatfs, who sought to win honor tor

Christmas In New England.


The Puritans were at first opposed to
Christmas pastimes, and the day was, for
long time, less generally celebrated in
New England than in the Middle and
Southern States. Rev Edward Ever
EFT Hale, of Boston, says that the observ-
ance of Christmas is quite a novelty in
the heart of New England among the
lords of this manor. Winslow and
Brewster, above Plymouth Rock, cele-
brated their first Christmas by making
all hands work all day IN the raising of
their first house.
1t was in that way that Christian
empire was begun. They builded bet
ter than they knew. They and theirs,
in that hard days work. struck the key
note for New England for two centur
les and half. Many and many New
Highlander, still in middle life, remem-
bers that in childhood, though nur-
tured in Christian homes, he could not
have told, if he were asked, on what
day of the year Christmas fell. But as
New England, in the advance of the
world, has come into the general life of
the world, she has shown no inaptitude
for the greater enjoyments of lite; and
with the true catholicity of our great
congregational system, her people and
her churches seize, one after another,
all the noble traditions of the loftiest
memories

SEASONABie SOLILOOUY,

To give or not to give-that is the question!
Whether It's nobler in the mind to settle
With clamorous creditors who long have dunned
me-
Or turn a deaf ear unto their pleading
And spend my all for presents? To creep-to
sneak
With bated breath beneath the friendly desk
When comes the harsh collectors knocking
And bride the boy to say I'm out of town,
Or disappoint eXpectant relatives
BY dIsregarding all the old traditions
Which make calamity of Christmas time
To men of scanty means! But there's the snub.
The freezing glance, the epithet OF miser,
The sickening dread of something worse to
come
Whene'er l circulate among my kin,
Which make me rather choose familiar Ills
Than to fly to Others that | know not Of
Yes, the ancient debts must stand.

Keeping Christmas Wisely.

Thoughtful people have discovered,
says Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Ladies'
Home Journal, that we are in danger Of
losing our Christmas by doing it to
death. 1t may die of surfeit, as well as
pet, or love.
The madding crowd making itself
maniac across the impossible streets,
choking the writing shops, Sailing
the railway trains, blocking the United
States mails, and choking, sailing
blocking, and madding more madlv
every year than it did the year before,
does not necessarily mean the growth
of the Christmas sense, but 1t is quite as
likely to mean the growth of Christmas
nonsense. 1t means vast amount OF
folly, imitation, greed, ambition. 1t
means an incalculable sum OF envles,
disappointments, jealous'es. 1t means
literally tired to death" and men in
debt, and neighbors offended. and rich
relatives cajoled, and host of human
blunders which we might call the
Christmas waste. All the processes of
action have their waste and it does not
condemn the action but only appeals
to the intelligence behind the action to
regulate the proportion between profit
and loss.
So, when we have fine thing-a fine
art, invention. feeling or custom-the
first point Is how not to lose it, and 1T
may be found that we need high splr-
itual economy to save our Christmas
from the kind ofdecadence that belongs
to a society like ours. tits the greatest

st. Nicholas has neither sledge nor

To Decorate q Church.

When flowers or other bright decor
atoms are hard to obtain a most pleas
ing substitute is afforded by the cones
of pine or Norway spruce, writes Eben
f. Rexford, in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. These, in their natural
color, are very pretty, but their effect
can be greatly heightened by bronzing
or gliding them. The liquid gold paints
sold by all dealers in artists goods are
cheap, and produce good results. APP
ply two coats, so that the cone will be
we'll covered. A cluster of them, shin
ing against background of dark
green, will stand out brilliantly by lamp
light. For good deal of the decorative
work about arches over the altar, and
in the making of crosses and similar de-
signs, they are much preferable to
flo wers or fruit, as they are more in
ha rmony with the evergreens among
which they are used. Provided your
gliding is good, most pleasing results
can be secured by giving cones such q
covering. Try it, and you will be sure
to be pleased with this new method. 1t
is always we'll to remember that artistic
effects do not depend upon elaborate
designs. The simplest decorations, es-
pecially in a church altar, are ofttimes
the most effective, and where taste is
used rather than quantity, success is, as
a rule, far more certain.

But her ear had caught the footsteps, and her

While her tears and loving kisses answered

Then she led me to the table, where the good

Serving me as though my place were still a

Cakes and jeIlies. home made candy, and ev'ry

Heaped before me with caresses and her
smiles.
Oh! I seemed a very boy again, as we sat talk
And She told me how she had thought of
prayed for me-
How I'd been Joy and comfort to her all her
widowed life
And her spirit, like an angels, could see.
How in ev'ry whistling boy that passed she
heard me coming home,
SO she had love waited for me ali the years;
Then, arising from the table, she would stand
careSslng me-
AS she breathed on me blessing through
her tears.
When I went to bed she came to me and tucked
the covers round.
In the dear old way that only mothers know.
Oh! l felt so blisstul, peaceful, and so full OF
tender love
That all silent came nv glad hearts overflow.
Happy, grateful, joyous tears l shed; ay, cried

In my boyhood home and bed again, the covers

Safely guarded by my dear old mothers

The Lily's lady,
The Rose is queen,
The Niolet's nun-like,
And seldom is seen.
But, best of Farth's children
Is the brave MistletOe,
Who brings us her berries
All covered with snow.
oh once she was honored
In an age before ours,
And her leaves were then Worshlped
For their wondrous powers,
High up IN the heavens
Her bright berries shOne.
And she looked in her oak tree
Like queen on her throne.
Then came to the forest
The Druids in white,
All chanting her praises
In the frosty moonlight.
They cut off the branches
With gold sickles keen,
And threw to the people
Her shining leaves green.
For if in goblet
There tioated one leaf,
'TWould cure every sickness
And sOrroWful grief
Then let us be grateful
TO healers of woe,
And remember at Christmas
The green Mistletoe.

Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows. and over the hill.

The merry whistle for once was still,
And something Swallowed the sunny face.
Only boy and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go;
Two already we're lying dead
Under the feet Of tho trampling snow.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs we're loud in che meadow swamp,
Over his shoulder he swung his gun
And steadily followed the foot path damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat,
with resolute heart and purpose grim.
Though cold vac che dew on HE hurryinH feet,
And the blind bats aitting started him,
Thrice sine. then had the lanes been white,
Aud the orchards sweet with apple bloom.

For news had come 90 che lonely farm,
That three were lying where two had lain,

Cropping the butter cups out Of tho grass

Loosely swung in the idle air
The empty sleeve Of army blue;
And worn and pale from the crispins hair,

For Southern prisons will sometimes yawn,
And yield their dead unto life again;
And the day that comes with cloudy dawn
In golden glory at last may wane.

For the heart must speak when the lips are

And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.
