THE MAN THAT ARGUES.

A thief and liar can be endured

When it comes to married lite it is
sale to say that two thirds of the
divorces are caused by argument.
People who do not argue seldom
appear IN divorce courts. 1t has
been SAID over and over again that
no two persons can be found who
agree upon every point, and proba-
bly, it is true assertion. Nor is it
necessary that they should. Peace

household insists that black is
white and another member is
equally sure that white is black.
Two persons who are associated
together will before long discover
that there are points upon which
they always disagree, and these
subjects should always be avoided
in conversation. They are rocks
upon which many a bark of hap.

the conversation wheneveryo you find

course of a ship if you were a pilot

the man who argues. 1t is extreme

in lyceums and debate-sometimes

THE FIRST CRRISTM4S MORN.
BY u. II. SEARS.

Calm on the listening ear of night
Come Heavens melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains;
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there
And angels with their sparkling Tyres
Make music on the air.
The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,
And greet from all their holy heights
The dayspring from on high
Ger the blue depths of Galilee
There come a holer calm,
And Sharon's waves. III solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.
"Glory to God !" the lofty strains
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn joy,
Der Judah's sacred hills!
"Glory to God !" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on Garth good will to men,
From Heavens eternal King"
Light on thy hills, Jerusalem
The Saviour now is born
More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plain
Breaks the first Christmas morn;
And brighter on Moriah's brow,
Crowned with her temple spires.
Which first proclaim the newborn light
Clothed with its Orient fires.
This day shall Christian lips be mute,
dnd Christian hearts be cold =
Oh, catch the anthem that from Heaven
Der Judah's mountains rolled
When nightly burst from seraph-harps
The high and solemn lay:
"Glory to God on earth be peace:
Salvation comes to to-day !"

USRETURNIyG.

Never To the bow that bends
shall come the arrow that has ven.
ished IN airy flight like a sweet, a
lost delight. From the bowstrings
shivering twang, straight it went to
the heart or brain, the spent AFRO "
comes not back again.
Never comes The chance that has
passed. If your future all the way,
now goes astray in darkness, never
more will that time come 10 you,
1t has passed through the gold
en- gate.
Never shall your spoken word be
again unsaid.. Well its work the
utterance wrought. Though it
pierced like a poisoned spear,
through the heart OF some loved
one, idle and vain will ii be to
weep-once for all the words are
said.
Give thy tears of blood and fire,
pray with pangs of mad desire ;
offer life and all, that one sentence
TO recall. Wresfle with its fatal
wrath, chase with flying feet its
path. Rue il all thy lingering days,
hide it deep with love and praise;
once for all thy word Is sped, none
invade it but the dead. All thy
travail will be in vain-spoken
words come not again.

Back in the North Carolina
mountains he student OF customs
may still find material forresearch.
The most unique are the kissing
games, which still cling 10 The soil
A lot of big-limbed, powerful
young men and apple-cheeked,
buxom girls gather and select one
of their number as master of cere-
monies. He takes his station IN
the center of the room, while the
rest pair off and parade around
hlm. Suddenly one young woman
will throw up her hands and say :
I'm a pinin'."
The master of ceremonies takes
it up, and the following dialogue
and interlocution takes place.
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthrop
says she's a.pinin'. What is Ara
bella Jane Apthrop a-pinin' fur ~
Pm a-piDin' fur sweet kiss"
"Miss Arabella Jane Aplhrop
says she's a-pinin' fur sweet kiss.
Who is Miss Arabella Jane Ap-
throp a.pinin' fur a sweet kiss
frum ?'
"Fm a. .plnin' fur sweet kiss
from Hugh Waddle," (blushes,
convulsiye giggles and confusion
on the part of Miss Arabella Jane
Apthrop at this forced confession.
Hugh Waddle walks up manfully
and relieves The lair Arabella's
"pinin'" by smack which sounds
like three -year-old steer drawing
his hoof out of the mud.
Then a young man will be taken
with sudden and unaccouniable
"pinin'," which, after the usual
exchanges of questions and volun-
teered information, reveals the
name of the maiden who causes
the "gnawin'" and "pinin'." She
coyly retreats out doors, only to be
chased, overtaken, captured and
forcibly compelled TO relieve
her captor's distress.
Az UllC vi tItSC tiitcl Jdliliilcllto,
which it was the narrator's fortune
TO attend, there was remarkably
beautiful young woman who had
been married about one month.
Her husband was present, huge,
beetle browed, biack-eyed noun
taineer, with a fist like ham.
The boys fought shy of ihe bride
for fear of incurring the anger of
The hrllking spouse. The game
went on for some time, when
symptoms of irritation developed
in the giant. Starting 10 the mid
die of the room, he said:
"My wife's ez pooty, an ez nice,
an sweet ez emmy gyurl hyar. You
uns has known her all her life.
This game hez been a-goin' on halt
an hour and nobody has pined for
her nnct. Ef some one doesn't
pine fur her pooty soon thar will
be troublew
She was he belle of the ball
after that. Everybody pined for
her.

actually, forty dollars was but a

over, and Mr.. Rome off for mystic
rious regions, konw as "down

ingly aud started on her shopping
expedition. On her way thoughts S
OF her dress ran through her mind.
She intended wearing il on an oc-

important. Some one was to be
present whose opinion'she valued
some one she herself admired very
much. Did he admire herg
She had asked herself The qnes-
ton over and over again She had
even pulled away the petals of a
marguerite one by one, counting
them as they fell with the words,
she loves--he loves me not" And
there were so many handsome girls
present, and she was not vain.
Thus aborbed, she suddenly found
herself several blocks below her
defamation. There was nothing
to do but walk back, and the way
lay through streets filled with
miserable tenement houses. The
fashionable girl hurried along until
all al once she found sort Of bar
ricade across the street. The md
die object OF this barricade was a
sewing machine, TO which, on one
side, clung a woman, Oil the other
man. An attendant crowd oi
residents contemplated this scene
with interest. and Emms Rome be-
came perforce one ofiheif number.
Scarcely ever in her life before
had Emma Rome been in close
contact with actual misery. Poor,
10 her, simply mesnt not rich. Now
she was amongst rags and dirt and
misery, forced to stand still for a
moment and look at n. At first,
the only emotion it excited was
disgust. But as she was about 10

his editorial ability, and that the func-

times when the editor opens his ex-

occasions, and it is of far more profit to
his readers to set before them the origi-
