THE SINKING FUND.
Has the City Obtained Money
Under False Pretenses?

To the Daily LIGHT:
L see by the last financial report
of the city auditor that the sinking
fund contained the muuificent
amount of SIG, and find on exam
ination that section 43, of the
city charter reads: "When any
bonds are issued by the city
fund shall be provided to pay the
interest, and two per cent per an
mum on the principal, as a sinking
fund to redeem the funds, which
fund shall not be diverted or
drawn" Now, if this law had
been complied with, should there
not have been nearly 100000 in
the sinking fund? The bonds is
sued and still outstanding, not in
Guiding street improvement or

and the amount which should now
be in the sinking fund would be, at

this Is all true, has not the city
been obtaining money under false
pretenses

TWO YOUNG MEN.

Thirty years ago two Irish immigrants
employed as porters in New York ware
houses undertook to study law. After
working from morning until night, pack
ing goods, loading drays and making de-
liveries, they sat up until twelve o'clock
in their rooms in clearinghouse read
ing law-books and discussing principles
and cases.
The ambitious young men were SO
deeply interested in their night work
that they frequently argued points Of
law during leisure moments at the store,
and naturally exposed themselves to
chatting and ridicule. With Irish wit
they parted every thrust, and never lost
their tempers.
Their companions nicknamed them
the Judge" and Lawyer john" and
asked them mockingly whether they
thought that merchants would consult
them as lawyers after employing them as
porters.
"They may do it," answered the
Judge" latter we have worked up fine
criminal practice in keeping out of the
penitentiary night brawlers like your
selves. who ought to be in their beds and
asleep"
Instead of loading your drays, said an
Incorporate clerk. you stand there argu
ing whether an injunction could be
brought against the firm for obstruct-
ing the sidewalk. You are your own
lawyers, and you have fools for clients. :"
Judgment may be affirmed" said
Lawyer john" "but not with costs. We
have borrowed our law books. and we
save money by keeping out Of the sa-
looms. 1t costs us less to fuddle our
brains with law than with drink. A de-
bauch over Blackstone leaves better
taste in the mouth than a night spent in
carousing."
So the laugh in the end turned against
the Incorporate clerk. The young por-
tiers knew how to take and return joke.
By their good humor they amused every

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
A WORD TO CHILDREN.

Hattie went out to take a walk on
Christmas morning, and as she reached
the doorstep on her return, she saw a
poor, ragged looking boy leaning on the
railing. and looking wistfully into the
kitchen window, where the cook was
preparing the dinner.
Il wish you merry Christmas" che
said brightly.
THANK you, miss" said the boy. lift
ing up his torn cap, and trying to make
polite bow; but I'm afraid it won't be
a very merry Christmas at our house"
"Why not ?" said Hattie: 81 thought
everybody was happy on Christmas
day."
"Well, there won't be any good time at
our home. for fathers been sick for three
weeks, aud mother has had to work so
hard to get us something TO eat, she's all
tired out. We had only slice o. bread
apiece for our breakfast this morning,

and there isn't even crust left for our
dinner"
Hattie's blue eyes opened with wonder
at this sad story, and her bright face
was clouded with sorrow. AWAIT till l
come back again." she said, and she flew
up the steps and over the house to seek
her mamma. At length she found her,
and Selling her by the arm, exclaimed,
"Oh, mamma, there's poor boy on the
steps, who says his father is sick, and
they haven't morsel in the house for
dinner. Please mamma, give him some
money to buy one, and / will add the
form that Uncle Robert gave me this
morning"
"Don't get SO excited. Hattie; l will
talk to the boy and see what can be
DONE"
While Mrs. Allen was speaking with
him her servant. man returned with some
parcels, and as he passed the boy he
recognized him as the son of a poor man
whom he well knew. The lady was
quite satisfied that Johnny's story was
true. and calling him into the kitchen,
she filed basket with good things, and
Hattie, who stood by with a smiling
face, slipped in an envelope enclosing a
piece of money.
Johnny's mother went about her
work that morning with sad heart;
her husband was growing weaker every
day for the want of nourishing food, and
row they had actually eaten their last
crust.
What will become of us?' she asked
herself again and again, as her little ones
came crying around her for food.
Just then Johnny burst into the room,
his face aglow with pleasure. and set
ting the well-filled basket upon the ia

we'll have Christmas dinner yet! Only
see what l have here!'
Mrs. Morris examined her treasure as
we'll as she could through the tears Ct
JOY that filed her eyes. There were two
fat chickens, some vegetables. two or
three pies, and some nice iellies for the
sick man.
While his greatful mother emrtied the
basket, Johnny told her how it came in
to his possession, and that it was
through little Hattie's influence, who
had wished him merry Christm as
that all these good things had come

PLAYING CHRISTMAS.
BY FLORENCE B. HALLowELL.

1t was warm spring day, and Madge,
lawn with Rough, the brown terrier.
They had all been running races; but
Dion, who was plump little fellow and
only four years old. bad soon grown
tired of that.
Lets play Christmas" said Madge.
'It's good deal more fun than races
Dion will have to be Santa Claus
decided Edith, in her usual positive
way. "And we can have only one rein
deer, for we've got only one dog"
"Well. we can get along with only one
this time,' SAID Madge.
While Dion rested under beech tree
the little girls ran into the house for
their toys and the red cart. Edith
brought a white goatskin rug, too,
which she fastened around Dion's neck
with safety pin, to make him look like
Santa Claus. Then they filled the little
red cart full of toys, and after great
deal of trouble succeeded in tying Rough
to the handle of the cart with strap
and piece of rope.
you'll have to keep patting him,
Dion, or he'll run away and spill all the
things" said Madge.
"Its awful hot being Santa Claus"
rejoined Dion, beginning to pat Rough
at once. This fur rug chokes like
everything
"Never mind, said Edith, that doesn't
matter; we'll soon get the tree ready"
"And when we call you, Dion, just
take hold of Blitzen's collar and come
prancing up the porch steps," said
Madge.
II can't say Bitten, its too hard.'
complained Dion.
Eyes you can if you only try; but if
you forget it, why you can call him
Dasher that's easy"
The two little girls ran off to find a
bough that would do for a Christmas
tree. and after great deal of trouble
made it stand upright in soap box full
of stones. They we're so busy bringing
the stones that they never once thought
of poor little Santa Claus waiting under
the tree on the other side of the house.
But at last everything was ready, and
Madge and Edith lay down with their
heads on hassock, and shut their eyes,
covering themselves with two crocheted
tides from the arm chairs in the sitting
room.
Its night! come on!" cried Madge.
But there was no shout to Bitten, no
clatter, no tramp of little feet.
Dion, come on!' screamed Edith,
'the trees all ready"
Still silence on the other side of the
house.
well have to go and see what's the
matter with him." said Madge.
Perhaps Rough has run off," said
Edith.
They sprang up and ran down the
porch steps and around to the beech
tree. They half expected to find Dion
and Rough both gone. But no; there
was the little red wagon full of toys, and
besiie it in his fur cloak, fat little Santa
Claus and his one reindeer fast
asleep!-Home Guard.

"Glorious," cried Hope, clapping
her hands, while Marah's eyes glowed
with happiness. For had they not
already spent one never-to- be- forgot
ten evening in that delightful abode9
Mr.. Mervin was the mother of one
of Celestia's dearest pupils. At twelve
o'clock the trio set forth, and here,
too, were more presents; boxes of
delicate CONNECTIONS, and books Sc
lected to meet the special taste of
each.
After a bountiful dinner, an after
noon of pleasant chat, interspersed
with music, and peeps into the latest
literature, all adjourned to resi-
dence near by where dwelt friends of
the Mervins.
As If there had not yet been enough
happiness for one Christmas day,
they all spent memorable evening
at the home of Mrs. Mervin's friend
which was built and furnished in
oriental style. The young people all
took part in private theatricals.
Chocolate and cakes were then
served, and at ten the sisters and
Celestia returned to their attic. Thus
the day, which at first seemed so for
lorn, proved to be one of the happiest
of their lives.-M. r. N. IN Unity.
