New York Repudiates Hill.

Thirty y-nine out of sixty counties
of New York have held local elec-
tions and the Democrats have lost
the control of the Boards of Super
visors in eleven which they con.
trolled last year. In these counties
the Republican Supervisors last year
numbered 42G to 352 Democrats.
This year the Republican list is
swelled nearly o hundred and the
Democratic list shrinks accordingly.
The new boards average little
more than two Republicans to one
Democrat. This is the voters an
swer to Governor Hills theft of a
State Senate and forcing a mid
winter convention.
1t is useless for Mr.. Hill and his
friends TO pooh-pooh the results of
the charter elections and declare
that they signify nothing. If the
revolution had affected only one or
even a half dozen counties it might
have indicated nothing more than a
local political unheaval, but change
so sweeping, affecting twothirds of
the State, is nothing more nor less
than revolution, which is certain
to include all the other counties
above the Harlem rive. The change
in the sentiment of the voters is
uniform; it is felt in every county,
and it can mean but one thing-dis-
gust with Hill and determination
to rebuke his INSCRIPTIONS methods.
Tt remains for Mr.. Hill to accept
this rebuke and retire with what
grace he may from active pursuit of
the Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation or to go ahead and suffer a
humiliating defeat. The Chicago
Convention will never nominate a
candidate for President from the
State Of New York whom the voters
of that State have just whacked over
the head and who have the same
club in pickle for him if ae is foolish
enough TO give them another chance.
That is the lesson of the New York
charter elections and if Mr.. Hill
can't read it as he runs he will run
against something very hard before
he is many months lder.-Philadel-
aohia Times.

"JonE WOULD SAY GOOD MORNING"
Maiden pride was sorely wounded thus so
cheaply TO be sold,
And she longed TO teach his lordship how she
valued rank and gold.
Hope unto her heart gave promise fathers
purpose TO defeat
When the broken hearted Vulcan poured his
sorrows at her feet.
She would brave her fathers anger, but her
lover must reveal
In the winning of her favor ready wit and
heart Of steel.
Said the smith, ~ VOW 10 kiss you first be-
meath the holly green,
Though the friends Of noble Curtis draw a
dozen swords betweenVn
There was dancing in the parlor there was
counting on the stair,
There was plenty in the larder, there was
pleasure everywhere;
And the parson preached sermon which
the people could enjoy
When he romped around the table with the
miller's little boy.
Rustic wives and danes Of polish in their ad
miration We'd,
AS the Colonel babe them welcome, on his
arm the lovely bride;
And Lord Curtis tapped his snufTbox with a
smile Of pure delight,
For score Of guests had promised TO be cow
ards-for that night
Laughter at the bald deception strove against
visage grim
When the father told the party Of his daught-
er's merry within;
How, to gain valiant husband, Isabel had
made a VOW
To cspouse the first TO lead her underneath
the kissing bough
Forward stepped dozen gallants, but Lord
Curtis Numbered "Stayl
I will yonder lead the damsel, though my
sword must cut the way ~
"Catch her first my Lord Fine Feathersw

And with strong arm thrown about her

A Christina, Story by DR.. TaImae..

Christmas Story by Or. Talmage.
l never like Christmas season to
pass without telling to some one a
thrilling incident which happened at
my house just eight years ago this
coming Christmas. Perhaps l have
told it to you, but l think not. We
had just distributed the family pres
ents Christmas morning when l heard
a great cry of distress in the hallway.
A child from neighbor's house came
in to say her father was dead. 1t was
only three doors off, and, l think, in
two minutes we were there.
There lay the old Christian sea
Captain, his face upturned toward
the window as though he had sudden
ly seen the headlands, and with an
illuminated countenance as though he
were just going into harbor. The fact
was he had already got through the
"Narrows. In the adjoining room
were the Christmas presents waiting
for his distribution. Long ago, one
night when he had narrowly escaped
with his ship from being run down by
a great ocean steamer he had made
hlo peace Win bOtt, anu al hiLOCT HClgn-
Dor than Capt. Pendleton you would
not find this side of heaven.
He had often talked to me of the
goodness of God, and especially of a
time when he was about to go into
New York harbor with his ship from
Liverpool, and he was suddenly inn
pressed that he ought to put back TO
sea. Under the protest of the crew and
under their very threat he put back to
sea, fearing at the same time he was
losing his mind, for it did seem so un-
reasonable that when they could get

81 did call you at 10 o'clock, and you
got up, looked around and told me to
keep right on this same course for two
hours, and then to call you at IL
o'clock" Said the Captain, els it pos
sible? l have no remembrance of that"
At - o'clock the Captain went on
deck, and through the rift Of the
cloud the moonlight fell upon the
sea and showed him ship
wreck with one hundred struggling
passengers. He helped them off. Had
that point of the sea he would have
been of no service To those drowning
people. On board the Captains vessel,
they began to band together as to
what they should pay for the rescue,
ind what they should pay for the pro-
visions. All" says the Captain, my
lads, you can't pay me anything;all l
have on board is yours; feel too
greatly honored of God in having
saved you to take any pay" Just like
him.
Oh, that the old sea Captains God
might be my God and yours. Amid
the stormy seas of this life may we
have always some one as tenderly to
take care of us as the Captain took care
Of the drowning crew and the passen-
gers. And may we come into the har-
Dor with as little physical pain and
with as bright hope as he had; and
if it should happen to be Christmas
morning, when the presents are being
distributed and we are celebrating the
birth Of Him who came TO save our
shipwrecled world, all the better, for
what grander, brighter Christmas
present could we have than heaven?

Date Of ChrIst's Birth.

The date, Dec. %, which is celebrated
in Christian countries as the anniver-
sary of the birth of Jesus Christ is
really not the anniversary of his birth.
The precise date of Christ's birth has
never been fixed and il is safe TO say
never will be. December is the rainy
season in the land of Judea, and
shepherds could not have been in the
fields at night in the vicinity of Beth

Christmas In England.

England surpasses all other coun.
tries in the world in the observance OF
Christmas-tide. In that country it is
the custom on Christmas eve, after
the usual devotions are over, to light
candles and throw on the hearth a
huge log called the Christmas Block,
and watch it until it has burned
to ashes. At Court and in the houses
of the wealthy,an officer named for the
occasion Lord Misrule is appointed tc
superintend the revels which are gen.
orally carried on until midnight. Can.
dies are usually kept burning for two
days. The favorite pastimes INDUCED
in are gaming, music, conjuring, dip.
ping for nuts, hat cookies, blind man
buff and other diversions. OF late
years clergymen have discountenanced
these forms of amusement.
