George william Curtis on Christmas.
Che last contribution Of our pamented
Mr. Curtis to his Easy ChairT depart
ment is a little essay in his ifimihble
style on the Observance Of CHRISTMAS.
Mr.. Curtis would have the sweet and hal
lowed associations OF the day nnfailing

doing this in our frantic at
tcmpts TO make Christmas a great" day.
Are we not in our lavish display and
ostentatiCus endeavor to be generous.

earnings in order TO give a dinner TO

Of notifications. and the young pair
make themselves needlessly miserable
and at a most damaging cost. They know
It. Their good sense accuses th,m Of it.
But no other people do so. and they can
not do otherwise. What void Mrs.

christmas is made miserable to the
Timminses, because they feel nat they
must spend lavishly TO buy gifts like their

warmth that Christmas comes talt once

day not of domestic pleasure, Hbut Of

Are not the Timminses legion? Is there
not reason I'm their dread Of Christmas
because Of the sord!d and mercenary
standards by which It is measured?
"The same good sense that sees folly

HON. WALLER X. STAPLES.
His Fitness for the Position of Attorney
General Presented.

General Presented.
Editor Of The Times:
In figuring on the Cabinet slate there are
many considerations to be weighed. We
know that Mr.. Cleveland's career has been
characterized by hard common sense, his
judgment OF human nature and his Obser-
vance Of public men, and being "A man Of
good practical business capacity, such men
he will naturally summon to the public
board as his advisers and sharers in
the responsible duties Of the presidency.
Why should not the Attorncy-General
come from Virginia, and If so. what are
the elements that would recommend one
to Mr.. Cleveland? A sound lawyer. a calm
and discreet adviser, a lawyer, not merely
Of technicalities and fluent speech, not one
merely OF conducting litigation. but whose
broad and comprehensive judgment would
possibly avoid the necessity Of litigation:
a lawyer Of judicial training and one whose
reputation is so well known to the legal
profession that nm opinion expressed would
carry conviction TO the public mind.
Now, without the ~prOmptings Of partial
ity. or the ambitions OF section, hut firmly
believing that II Virginia is to be represent
ed at the national board, it will only De
done when your Cwn citizen. Judge Waller
r. Staples, is properly presented to Mr..
Cleveland. Judge Staples Is known TO and
read by every lawyer In every Office and
every court room throughout the entire
country. Having had years Of experience,
both in the Virginia Legislature and in
Congress, and being a lawyer without n
superior. net only in Virginia. but in the
entire South, a scholar and n statesman,
learned and experienced in matters Of pub
lie interest, and ranking first among the
jurists Of his time. together with the ex-
traOrdinary good judgment and fine business
qualifications, the broad liberality and COM
prehensiveness OF his mind make him pre-
eminently the man that such a President
as Grover Cleveland would soon learn tc
safely rely upon. If we will but unite our
efforts Virginia will have reason 10 be
proud in furnishing the material for the
high position of Attorney General Of the
United States. Your correspondent n short
time ago, while in Texas. in the largest
cities Of that State. heard the leading law
ycrs speak Of Judge Staples as Familiarity
IA members Of the Virginia Bar. He has
also seen him quoted by the highest courts
or CaII0rnla, massachusetts and the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. and no
doubt Mr.. Cleveland, In his practice. has

All Gone.

The tragedy was on one Of our great
Western lakes. and a friend OF the family,
a lady, was asked TO break the news TO
the only surviving member Of 1t.
There had been eight I'm all before the
tornado, when the excursion boat went
down. and the one daughter at home had
not yet heard what all the town knew.
Every one feared for her reason, and no
one dared to speak. Gathering courage
for her hard task. the friend began:
81 have something TO tell you"
h girl knew at once that some fear
full event had happened.
rs II father" she asked, trembling.
1.-THE tornado struck the boat, and your
father is missing" The lady spoke with
great tenderness.
But mother? Where is mother?" The
girls heart stopped for suspense.
your mother is drowned, too"
But Tom? Why isn't Tom here7"
TON is gone, too"
The poor girl could only whisper: "Is
Jenny, too, dead?"
A sorrowful nod was the only reply.
And Ethel?" came from the pale lips.
Eyes"
"Frank?'
Eyes"
"Baby?'
Eyes. God help you. deari-yes."
Are they all dead?"
"They are all gone"
The girls face stiffened ominously. A
wild look came into her fearless eyes.
Her friend was a devout woman. and she
said the only thing that sprang to her
trembling lips:
"God is left"
The poor girl gave her a binding look
and burst into a flood Of tears. That old
fashioned comfort, which was the main
stay of our f~orefathers, penetrated to the
broken heart. 1t saved the ntriolson eirl'O
~reason-by bringing her to her con-
seriousness the only Friend who could
adequately console her In her hour OF
desolation.

Bookn and Reading.

II Is no part of a Christians duty TO
read a pool because II happens to be the
vogue. 1t is not enough for him to be
told that the book has made a stir; he
must wait and see what kind OF a stir
It has made. 1t may be a stir In the
DEVILS own caldron, and yet all the re-
viewers may praise it and all society talk
about it.-R. +. Horton.
You must get into the habit, when read
ing n real book. Of looking intently at the
words. and assuring yourself Of their
meaning. syllable by syllable, letter by
letter. You might read all the books in
the largest library in the world az you
