Oh, the luckiest boy in the world am I,
I've hung up my stocking, not too high
On the bed post, ever 50 close to me,
And the foot hangs just over my
mouth, you see,
And when it is dark, and mama comes
To put in the candy and sugar pIums,
She'll pour and pour, but strange to
say,
That stocking will never be full, some
way;
And I'll tell you why, if you want to
know,
There's great, big, monstrous hole

Colonial Christmas.

The Purltans were sorely tried by
the way in which Christmas was OBJ
served in the colony in 1868, and 1T
the first General Court subsequently,
held the following law was passed:
"For preventing disorders arising
in several places within this iuusdict-
ION by reason of some still observing
such festivals as were superstitiously
kept in other countries, to the great
dishonor of God and offence of 9th
ers, it is therefore ordered by this
court and the authority thereof that
whatsoever shall be found observing
any such day as Christmas or the like
either by forbearing of labor, feast
ing or any other way, upon any such
account as aforesaid, every such per-
son so offending shall pay for every
such offence five shillings as a fine to
the country"
The following from letter from
Amos Lawrence to his son, William
X. Lawrence, then at school in France
shows the beginning of the change of
sentiment. Its date is December 81,
1880:
81 suppose Christmas is observed
with great pomp in France. 1t is a
day which our Puritan forefathers,
in their separation from the Church
of England, endeavored to blot out
from these days of religious festivals;
and this because 1t was observed
with so much pomp by the Romish
Church. In this, as we'll as in many
other things, they were unreasonable
as though they had SAID they would
not eat Tread as the Roman Catholics
do. | trust and hope the time is not
far distant when Christmas will be
observed by the descendants of the
Puritans with all suitable respect as
the first and highest holiday of Chris
tians, combining all the feelings and
views of New England Thanksgiv-
ing with all the other feelings appro-
pirate to it."

CHRISTMAS FROLIC.

The scene Is a cotton plantation in
Louisiana; the time. Christmas Eve.
Company is coming from town,
and the darkies are going to have a
dance in the barn after the children
have had their Christmas tree
Miss Matte has been at work all
day with her girl friends WHO are Wis
iling her, and young Mars Willie
has climbed to the top of the barn,
getting his good clothes dusty and
his black curls full of cobwebs, fixing
the tree and hanging the presents for
the 'Hittle niggcrs."
The candles on the brackets a
round the wall are lighted, and an old
three-legged Sheet-iron stove III a
corner gets redhot and tries to 60 up
its own fine, warming the room.
Now the children are sent to bed.
The grown darkies line themselves a
bout the wall, Uncle Ebenezer with
his fiddle, and jim with his banjo,
take their places and tune up. Matt
Bean must open the dance with a
breakdown. The music strikes up
Chicken in the Bread Tray, and
Matt shakes one foot ana then the
other, apparently to see that the
hinges are in good order.
Now he is off.

"Umphu, childun, give me room"
The white folks clap their hands,
sitting in chairs around the stove.
The darkies pat time, slapping their
knees and rolling their eyes up to
the rafters. The music grows faster
aud wilder; Matt reels and rocks and
keeps up a chanting undertOne OF
words to the tune.
Mars Will comes In, sleek and smll
ing, with flakes of lint IN his back
hair and on his clothes.
No one notices him.

Matt carries the day.

Then up jumps ole Massa.
"five us Dixie. 'Nezer!" he cries,
"and all clea;' the floor"
He SEXES ole miss round the waist
and commands the boys to choose
their partners. Ole Missus resists
with all the laughing might of her
1856 pounds but to no purpose. She
is logged to her place and the youn-
ger couples fill up their place in the
cotillion.
'S'lute yo' partner, an balance
ALL cries ole Massa (they have had
an egg-nog and a cherry-bounce
since the boys came from the town
that afternoon) tapping his coat-tails
nearly over his shoulders and singing
with the fiddle:
Oh, away down yander in de land of
cotton,
Cinnamon seed an sandy bottom,
Look away, away, away in Dixie!
"Fust four forard an back agin!"
he goes on, never letting loose old
Miss hand, for if he should she
would make a break for the wall
Oh the buckwheat cakes an de good

Make my mout go filter filter futter,
Look away, away, away in Dixie!
The darkies sing to, patting their
knees and saying:
"Yaw, yaw! go it ole Massa! You
an ole Missus is younger en- 'em ALP
But alas! Ole Missus refuses to
sustain her record. She breaks clean
down, declines to bulge, and VIII
and the girls interfere in her behalf.
Off they scurry to the house, Will
nearly carrying his mother, and the
darkies have the floor.
Up comes the white moon, but her
white fingers carry no sleep on their
tips this time. On goes the dance
till the candles are exhausted and the
roosters are growing on Christmas
morning.
Meanwhile IN the cabin, old moth
ers and grannies creep over the sleep
ing children to the little yarn stock
ing dangling from the smoked jams
and the Pickering freight plays on
wooden dolls, tin horses, and red
oranges in their hands.
Up in the big house glad feet that
never tire patter up and down the
stairs. Slam! go the doors, with a
flash of light on the cold white floor
of the halls. 1t is late, but the boys
must have an egg-nogg, and ole Mas,

An Orphan Girls Good Fortune.

The return Of Miss Anna Delaplaine
of Madison, Wis, to her home after
year spent with relatives in England,
one Of whom, Sir Richard Tangye, ac-
companied her, has brought up her ro-
mantle story. When a little girl, she
was left an orphan and was committed
to the Mendoza asylum for a slight
nervous disorder The attention Of Miss
Blanche Delaplaine, a daughter OF the
late General Delaplaine, was attracted
toward the child, and she took her
home, where she soon recovered her
health. She was then legally adopted
by Miss Delaplaine and assumed the
latter's name.
In 1890, through magazine article,
Miss Delaplaine's attention was called
to the fact that there was a family IN
London bearing the same name as that
Of her ward, Tangye, and she wrote to
them, telling the child's story. Prompt
" came an answer claiming the child as
a cousin, and from that time ON the
English relatives have sent the young
girl beautiful gifts and year ago in
sisted upon her visiting them. Sir Rich
ard Tangye is self made man Of great
wealth. whose fortune was made by the
invention of the hydraulic jack, with
which TIE Great Eastern was launched.
He and his brother own mammoth
works in Birmingham and London and
in Cornwall and employ thousands of
men. Two years ago Sir Richard was
knighted by the queen. Chicago Chron-

Painting by Machinery.

Painting by machinery, practiced on
a large scale for the first time in connec-
tion with the mammoth exposition
buildings at Chicago, in the United
States, in 1898, has become an every

chimes are now regularly purchasable
articles. For several years previous to

outfits, by means Of which the immense
areas Of wall space in the fair buildings
were coated with paint and calcimine,
a substantially similar plan has been
and still is followed at some Of the
American railroad shops for painting
shop walls, freight cars and the like,
but the appliances there used, though
very serviceable and time saving, were
home made and could scarcely be con-
sidered as articles of commerce. Now
however, the intending user Of paint

makeshift apparatus, but can buy 1t In

The Safe pa.I. For silver Coinage.

A sign that the silverites are begin
ming to realize that free coinage at 10
to | is an impossibility is found IN the
demand by some silver organs for tho
coinage at that ratio of all silver pro-
duced in the United States. But TINS
scheme is just as absurd as the proposal
TO open our mints to the worlds stores
of silver. No tariff would be able to
keep foreign silver out of this countryif II
il was valued here at a higher rate than
its commercial value. ENsh though tho
importation of bullion was prohibited
it would DO easy to bring in silver table,
ware, ETC., which would be melted
down The idea Of coming all United
States silver will not stand examination
The only safe basis is TO coin as much as
can be maintained at a parity with gold.
AS soon as our supply Of the latter metal
increases to proper amount we may
venture to coin more silver But not TIL
then.

The Several Factions Are Each Pulling In

1t is amusing to watch the struggles
of the silverites with their friends and
allies. the Populists and other tat
money advocates. As the men who be-
lieve in making a dollar half silver and
half fiat find their principal support
among believers in dollars wholly FIAT,
they try to avoid offending the latter by
opposing unlimited greenbacks and SIM
liar cheap money schemes But an at
tempt TO convert the Populist party to
nlatform Of the single plank Of free
coinage at 16 to has split that party IN
two wings. which are now getting ready
TO fight each other. The men who want
government loans on land and farm
products will not be satisfied with
currency scheme which will only oeneht
the silver mine owners. While the sill
yerites fear to indorse the Wild money
notions of the Populists lest they drive
away supporters who are not ready 10
swallow all the third party's nostrums'
the Co1eyites are poking fun at them as
men who have not the courage to follow
their cheap dollar arguments to their
logical end-Populism.
The result will be that the silyerites
will have to decide between such OF
their followers who really believe that
free silver would give us sound money
and those who want unlimited issues OF
cheap money based on nothing. II they
decide for the latter, they will lose the
support Of all the believers in common
honesty and property rights who have
been deceived into favoring free coinage
If they go against fat paper money
they will lose the aid of the Populists-

There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,

Still we feel that something sweet
