Thanks.

No mothers son of us but it does
him good to get cordial Thank
you I" in return for the smallest
kindness he has tried to show.
Perhaps it was merely giving up
his seat to woman in a street car
and hanging on half an hour him
self by a strap. Still, to see her
serenely adjust her skirts ard settle
comfortably down as though that
were all that men were created for,
does not make this planet seem
a brighter orb among the revolv-
ing spheres to dwell on. Particu-
larly, if an elderly man, and dead
tired to boot, he begins gloomily
to revolve the fate of poor King
Lear, how he divided his whole
kingdom among his daughters and
found the marble hearted fend /"
of the ingratitude Of two of them
+" sharper than serpent's tooth. +"
Whereas, a CHEEKY smile from the
grateful incumbent, with a cordial
I" Thank you p would have led him
to forget all about the strap and
King Lear, aud think only of swal-
lows skimming the air.

Merry Christmas to You.

Readers one and all, we wish
you a merry and a happy Christ
mas. Whatever of sorrow has
dimmed your eyes or shadowed
your heart in the past year, may
the 10y of the present moments
atone for, besides bearing a rich
promise of hope for the future.
To the gray-haired father, who
has gathered around him under
the old roof tree his children and
his childrens children, to partake
of the bountiful Christmas cheer,
we wish him an enlarged percep-
ton and a deeper appreciation OF
the blessings and comforts which
surround and reward happy and
virtuous old age. To his partner,
who has shared the storms and
divided the sunshine of life with
him, we wish that inward peace
and pervading joy which a good
mother alone can feel, who re-
ceives back in the winter of her
wears the watchful love and
cheerful tenderness bestowed up
on the children of her youth. For
the sons and daughters we can ask
nothing better than their youth,
hope, health and strength will
bring them. if they learn to regard
with cheerful philosophy the
many ills and cares we are all sub
ject to.
Reader, if you are rich in world
ly goods-if the Great Father has
smiled upon and prospered you,
give of your plenty to him who
has nothing make one heart at
least as happy as your own. Learn
from sweet experience that it is a
more blessed thing to give than to
receive, and thus cause the poor
mans heart to brighten, and the
hearts of his children to sing for
Joy long after the sun of Merry
Christmas has gone down behind
the western hills.

BIG RAILROAD SCHEME.
A Four-track Line Between New
York and Chicago.

The following piece of news,
which will be interesting reading
to the people of New Jersey, was
taken from the Philadelphia Press.
One of the greatest railroad
enterprises in the history of the
country was incorporated at the
Secretary of States Office at Col
umbus, Ohio. The articles of the
new company, which is to be
known as the New York & Chicago
Short Line, are signed, as incorpor-
ators, by John J. McKelvey, of
New York city John McKelvey,
Henry T. Huntington, Charles A.
Judson and w. Latham, of San
dusky, O.
The purpose of the company is
to construct a railroad as nearly in
direct line as possible from New
York to Chicago. The capital
stock is $Ioo.ooo to be increased
to SIS, 900, 900 as necessity requires.
The articles of incorporation state
that the company contemplates the
construction of four track railway
between the two points named"
If the road is built, and those
who claim to know say it will be,
the probability is that the road
would go through the Delaware
Water Gap and Warren County.

Strengthened as it feeds itself to the

reaches Two cutters, which point the
end at the same time that they cut 1t
the length required. This piece Of wire
then slips along an iron plate until 1t
reaches slot. through which it is
pressed into regular shape. The hair
pins are then put into q pan and
japanned, after which they are heated
in an oven with temperature OF from
800 to AGO degrees. There are but four
American factories. The largest are In
Birmingham and Waterbury, Conn, the
others in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

Christmas.
Tho Day of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
In Passaic--1ours at the POST
Office.

L
Office.
Every now and again at this sea,
son of the year we are told that
the custom of Christmas giving is
becoming intolerably burdensome,
Why lift up the voice of larnenta-
ton over the prevalence of a beau
tiful custom because some people
make an unbeautiful use of it
1t is not the gift, but the giver,
that makes a Christmas present
precious. 1t is because we believe
that almost every gift bestowed
tomorrow will come from the
heart and go to the heart, that one
refuses to join in crusade against
the dear old practice. Whoever
has mingled with the surglng
crowd of shoppers during the past
ten days must have seen and heard
much of gladness. The majority
of purchases are made with the
simple and sensible view of pro-
viding for friends tokens that will
be at once useful, beautiful and
significant. Think of the sweet
secrets that have been shared, each
with a chosen friend or two, be-
cause so big a secret could not be
quite kept alone. Imagine how
many children have been learning
the lesson of generosity, and how
many lives, old and young, have
been filled with sunshine, because
filled with loving plans, since first
the preparation of Christmas gifts
began this year.
Christmas comes almost before
the special interests of Thanksgiv-
ing are gone. The two festivals
thus challenge comparison with
each other. Thanksgiving belongs
peculiarly to the older members
of the family, Christmas to the
young. The social feature of
Thanksgiving is the extension :
table. drawn to its utmost stretch !:
of Christmas, the Christmas tree,
fruitful with gifts, or the rows of
stockings. Thanksgiving, as an
institution, is of the new world,
Christmas of the old world. En-
blems of Thanksgiving are the
yellow grain and the red ripe fruit,
as emblems of Christmas are the
holly and the hemlock. Thanks
giving leads the mind back through
one year, Christmas through 1900
years and more. Each festival is
associated with religion by its
name and by its history each is
pre-eminently an occasion of joy
and gladness, of feasting and mirth.
If it is asked, Which is better,
Thanksgiving or Christmas p the
temptation is to borrow the child
ish answer, Both
Christmas-tide in Passaic will be
observed with its customary cele-
brations and it is here noted that
the Methodist Sunday school had
it's Christmas entertainm ent last
evening. All the other Sunday
schools anticipate similar happy
occasions during the week. The
carols and hymns have been well
rehearsed, and so with the distri-
button of presents and refresh
ments everything will indeed be
joyful
The Passaic Post-office will be
open on Monday from 7 to 10 a.
m. and to 7 p. m. There will be
one full delivery by the carriers
in the morning. All the outgoing
mails will be despatched during
the day.

The Pigeons Immense Flights.

From the Toronto Week.
The American passenger pigeon is
now recognized as q British bird.
Several examples had occurred, and
while some of these were probably
escapes" others were dou btless wild
birds. These had perfect plumage,
were taken in an exhausted condi-
ton and their crops showed only the
slightest traces of food. AS il well
known, the passenger pigeon is bird
of immense powers of fight, and In
its overland journeys often flies at the
however, can only come from Ameri
ca; and this opens up the interesting
question as to the possibility of birds
crossing the Atlantic without resting.
Naluralists OF the present day say
that this feat is not only probable, but
that it is actually accomplished by
several wild birds. Mr.. Darwin some.
where asserts that one or two of them
are annually blown across the ocean,
and 1t is certain that half dozen spe
cies have occurred on the west coasts of
England and ireland which are found
nowhere but in North America. Mr..
Howard Saunders states that passen-
ger pigeons are often captured In the
State of New York with their crops
still filled with, undigested grains of
rice that must have been taken in the
distant fields of Georgia and South
Carolina, apparently proving that
they had passed over the Intervening
space within q few hours. 1t GER
tainly seems remarkable that q
bird should have the power of flying
over 1000 miles of sea, but. recent.
ly two different writer's have
recorded the fact that. they noticed
pig cons settle upon water to drink
and then rise from it with apparent
ease. And Mr.. Darwin says that
where the banks of the Nile are per.
pendieular, whole focks of pigeons
have been seen to settle on the river
and drink while they fioated down
stream. He adds that, seen from 9
distance, they resembled focks OIL
gulls on the surface of the sea.
