A SUGGESTION.

These days of corporations it would truly
seem to be
A splendid plan if Santa Claus would look
about and see
If he could not incorporate himself, and so
expand
His usefulnes to cover every corner of the
land.
I've noticed, as I've looked about on Christmas
days gone by.
A lot of little children who have failed to
catch his eye,
Who when the Yule was at its height had not
single toy
Or bit of peppermint to I'LL their little souls
with JOY.
And there have been some persons who have
ventured to remark
OF credence in his being they had not the
slightest spark
For had there been person of his kind twas
very sure,
There'd be some signs of presents in the
novels of the poor.
Which is a point he'll have to meet, with
many of that sort,
If ever he shall find himself hauled up before
the court.
But l. who've always found him most atten-
tive unto me,
Am certain that he does exist and works most
faithfully.
But certain TOO am | that in these Christmases
He's found his work. unaided, for his strength
by far too great:
And hence | think that he'd do well to form
company.
And everywhere throughout the land to place
an agency.
And all who love him for his labors in the
days now past
Can put their names down in his books-the
stock should go right fast.
doesn't seem that it could meet with failure,
just because
They must be few who would not take stock
in old Santa Claus.

December.

so glad!'
While in madame's little sanctum,
Ruth Barley was telling the worthy pre-
ceptress how John Bates had travelled half
round the world-how he had been a
prisoner in the heart of Africa for months
how at last he had established himself
in a good business in South America and
had finally come back to claim the promise
Ruth had given him along ago.
"He has written again and again. she
said, land he can't understand how it is
that he never got any answer. But how
could | reply to letters that never reached
me?"
Madame kissed the huttering little
governess in her slow, stately way.
''My dear, ! congratulate you," said
she. ''Of course, deeply as | regret losing
good teacher shall not object to can
ceiling your engagement with me, under
the circumstances.
And she smiled ond nodded and looked
preternaturally wise.
''How did it happen ~ said John Bates.
"Why, in the most natural way in the
world. | came in on the evening stage,
and when | got to the little stone stile
and the footpath thai led down to the old
spot, l told the driver to leave my traps
at the hotel and I'd take the short cut
through the woods, seeing that it was such
fine night and the moon at full, Just
an excuse, you know, to look at the re-
membered haunt. And as | stood there
thinking of the happy old times, who
should come right into the glade but
Ruthie herself, just as if it were only yes
terday that we parted"
"But," cried Miss Barley-Mrs Bates
she was now-"who could have sent me
that note? John declares he didn't. How
could he when he didn't even know that
was teaching at the scminary?'
'Why, Of course it was hc.' said every
one.
And deny it as vehcmcntly as he would
no one believed him.
But the young ladies Of the Applenooil
Seminary kept their counsel. Aud Alice
Fortescue and Leila Wharton declare that
they will play no more practical jokes

WHITTIER AND THE OK.

When Whittier was child his father had
a pair of oxen named ''Buck' and "old
Butler. They were treated almost as
family pets and as they lay on the hillside,
chewing their cuds, the TWO boys, Green
leaf and Matthew, used them as arm chairs,
sitting upon their foreheads and leaning
against their horns.
Old Butler once saved the future poets
life in way that entities him to everlasting
remembrance. The story is told in Mr..
Pickard's biography. The boy went to the
pasture with Iva. Of salt Tor the cattle.
Old Butler, from the hilltop, saw him
coming and scurried down to meet him.
1t happened that the slope was pretty
steep. and the heavy on acquired such
momentum that he found himself unable
to stop.
\ moment more, and the boy would
have been crushed. But the OK pulled
himself together, lcaped straight into the
air, cleared the boys head, and came to
the ground far below with tremendous
force, but happily without harm.
In after life Whittier told another story
of Old Butler. Quaker meetings were
sometimes held in the large Whittier
kitchen. On one such.occasior, in summer,
Old Butler put his head in at The open door
as if curious to see what could be gong on.
A swrct-N DICED woman hupDcnetl to be
speaking, and the on, to all appearance
paid strict attention. At all events, he
stood motionlcss and silent till she sat
down.
Then one of the brethren arose. His loud
voice had hardly began to he heard, how
ever, before the OK withdrew his head,
lifted his tail in the air, and went off bel
lowing. The children, and perhaps some
of the grown people, were greatly amused
by this bit of bovine criticism.

One reason why women are so gener.
ally troubled with some arrangement of
the distinctly feminine organism is that as
girls they learn nothing about their own
