A New Years Day That Meant "A Great
Deal to Two Folks
"a good many years have passed
since Tom Shaw brought his wife home
to the house on the hill; and there is
no doubt they have both grown u
good deal older and wiser since then.
To be sure, us folks find it nowadays,
time does fly fast remember now
the picture in my little primer books
Of old Father Time with sickle in his
hand: he seemed to be moving ut a
right smart pace, but la he looks
mighty weak in the legs, and don't
have an idea that he could get on very
fast at the best. On the very next
page there's II picture of a very little
tree with bushy top, and man as
big as itself sitting on il, and under the
tree there's bit of rhyme that says
'Zaccheus he
Did climb the tree
His Lord to see
"Now know that IL Zaccheus had
climbed into that tree he never would
have seen anything. for it would have
broken down, and. that would have

Aunt James voice was hushed, and
she knit two or three rounds upon the
gray sock that she was making for our
Poor society, and then her hands fell
in her lap. her chin dropped little,
and the old lady was asleep. Abby and
i looked intently at her; hair, that had
once been as yellow as our own. was
of snowy whiteness, and it lay on each
side of a forehead that was full of
seams and wrinkles; the eyes that
were tight shut were as blue as our
baby's. and the mouth that was little
open was almost as small as his. But
her cheeks were one mass OF Fuckers,
and even under the edge of her white
hair we could see them deep and drawn.

The Sleep Of Princes.

Among the extravagances attributed
to American women is brass bedstead
inlaid with real pearls. Across the top
rail the owners name is wrought in
pearls.
Recently bedstead made of gold and
silver, inlaid with precious stones, has
been discovered in cave between Bey-
rout and Damascus, bearing an inscription
declaring that it once belonged to Flea
nor, Queen of England.
In point of costlness this cannot com
pare with the historical cradle ordered by
Napoleon for his son, the King of Rome,
upon which all the resources of French
art were employed, the design being pre-
pared by Prudhomme.
In the Paris Exhibition q gorgeous
bedstead was to be seen which had ssen
constructed Mt II cost of S2J, 600, to the
order OF an Indian Prince
The canopy was supported by four au-
tomato figures, costumcd in the national
dresses of Spain, Italy, France and
Greece, who moved their eyes and waved
fans to cool the air. The mattress was n
gigantic musical box, which played a
series of operate airs when any one lay
down upon it. This continuance might
not prove an unmixed blessing, when one
was too weary to remember that Emusic
charms, and only wanted to sleep the
sleep of the righteous.-Me,o York Jour-
nal
