following date publishes another ed,
itorial from which the following is
extracted: -''.', .-t..'s.. 81.
yesterday morning the Post ut.
tered a note OF warning to the coun-
try. It told the truth at time when
the truth was scarce and badly needed
There has been nonsense and romance
enough. Great metropolitan Jour-
nails have been misleading their read
ers through the med um or alleged
pills Of Congress. They had sent
over to Washington talented young
gentlemen who asked Mr.. Henderson
what State he came from and impor-
tuned Mr.. German for some insight
of his party affiliations. They de-
rived large funds. Of wisdom from two
or three new Washington CORES
pondents, who-as in the case Of the
New York Herald-criticlsed the Vice
President for appointing Mr.. VOORHEES,
to the craftsmanship of the finance
comm ittee. And then they gathered
their mighty intellects together and
assured mankind that the Sherman
act would be promptly and uncondi-
tionally repealed.
ut seemed high time that some
one with an intelligent comprehen
sion Of the facts Of the Case should
tell the simple truth, and that func--
tion the Post discharged. 1t would be
well TO have a pillory for newspapers
that recklessly mislead the public,
and dou btless, in some midway plai-
sance OF the future, there will be
booth in which the talented news
gatheres and poll takors Of last week
can be exhibited to gaping world.
For the present, however, it Seems to
be of the first Importance to clear
away the rubbish in which mems
minds have been enveloped to con-
vince them that neither Mr.. Cleve-
lands supposed divinity nor the i'm

what is to be done? First of all,
we say, let the aDLl-silver newspapers
discard their vicioustrade in fiction,
and then let anti-silver men of all
sorts and conditions imbibe u more
charitable, considerable and becoming
spirit. The sill, or men are noe fools
and traitors and conspirators. They
do not belong to I'm inferior order of
virtue and intelligence. They are
not here to be disciplined by con-
ceited doctrines and snubbed by fab
10y mugwumps. They are entiLIed TO
their opinions. They represent con-
stituents who honor and respect
them. They are American citizens
devoted to the nations welfare and
they must be met as such by those
who propose to help or be helped b,
them in solving the problem of the
day.
1.-THE Sherman act will not be un
condltionally repealed by the Fifty
third congress. Even Mr.. Clevelanc
had remained here to encourage tn

"Fine sermon, wasn't it?" asked one
of Farmer Peters boarders, referring
to scholarly discourse with which the
Meadowville meeting house congrega-
ton had been favored that morning by
a city clergyman.
"Mebbe, returned Farmer Peters.
"Why," persisted the boarder, that
man knows more about the Bible, ho
has made a deeper study of Biblical
history and geography, than almost
any other minister in this country"

Peters, mildly. "Well, then, reckon

1t was late in the afternoon before
the foraging party had reached the
little settlement, several miles away,
and after getting we'll warmed and
rested they had started out on their re-
turn, carrying plentiful supplies for
their fasting comrades on the snow
bound train. But in the early twi-
light they had missed their way, and
after hours of aimless wandering
through the painless snow, chilled and
overcome with drowsiness, they had
thrown themselves down to sleep, even
though they knew that to sleep then
might mean to perish. They never
dreamed that they had almost reached
their goal, round which they had been
circling for so long
Suddenly, through his half-closed
eyes one of their number saw light

dreaming, he fancied it a star. AT
that moment he was a child again in

bedside and tucked the blanket close

bright star shone down upon him

Then the dream faded away and con-

through the bewildering numbness
which nearly mastered him, but still
the star cleaned on.

THE OLD RURAL CHRISTMAS.

Things We're Different in the Old Days
Yet Children Were Very Merry.
How many of the young people know
that some forty years ago nine-tenths
of the children in America had to enjoy
Christmas with only such sums as they
had saved up for months, often a penny
at time? Yet so it was. Not one
father in ten thought of giving boy
christmas money!" the big family din
ner and such fun as cost nothing was
enough.
Indeed, save for candy and firecracls-
ers, there was little to spend money for.
Robinson Crusoe" and "parley's
Tales" were almost the only story
books, though the people had some old
standbys on their shelves, and the "Old
English Reader was like other poor,
always with them There were "Moral
Lessons" few, and tracts enough; but
no gorgeously lettered volumes of child
ish song, no fairy stories shining in
covers of blue, green and gold.
The story that artists for the earliest
Juvenile books had to label their pic
lures "This is a horse" This is
cow" etc, is no doubt an exaggera-
tion, but the toys really needed it.
Many little girl made doll. by Dress
ing up a crook-necked squash. Rag
babies" were the rule. A doll such as
any child of parents above the grade of

the furor such wonderful creation
would have excited.
1t is an actual fact that the purchase
of such doll by order from Cincinnati
at cost of two dollars-was made
matter of church discussion in one
town as late as 1S4S. "The neigh bors"
finally decided it was all right, as the
mans little girl was an invalid and
needed amusement. She certainly got
1t, If company was any amusement, for
every child for miles around was crazy
to see that doll. AS for paying ten
dollars for a doll, the people would
have asked the court to name a
guardian for the man who did it, as
one unfit to manage his own affairs
Ten dollars would buy an acre of good
timbered land in half of the country.
Wood carving was an envied accom-
plishment in those days. The "hired
hand" who had some skill with q
jacllknife had crowd of children after
him on all possible OCCASIONS; the
father who could carve human-lools-
ing figure out of walnut bark was
hero to his family.-N. Y. Mail and Ex-
