The Fairest sight.

.
You ask me the faireSt sight,
That l have seen
While wandering over mountain height,
or through the valleys green
The fairesG sight that ever yet
Mine eyes have looked upon
Thrilled thrO my soul one summers day
just at the set of sun.
An aged man with silver hair,
And brow all wrinkled DER,
And chiidren'S children Spor ting round
Upon the cottage floor,
Rested his head upon the knee
OF her lie chose for wife
Long years before. standing erect
In manhood's prime of life.
And she. with gentle. loving grace,
Still threaded DER and DER.
Those silver locks with fingers, he
Had claSped so long before.
Or rested them in loves careSS
Upon that aged brow.
An this, of all the sights I've seen.
Was the faireSt one L trow.
For the faithful love of hoary hairs
Is loVelier, far, to me,
Than sparkling eyes. OF rosy cheeks,
Or youthful VOWS can be.

Christmas Tree.

Christmas was ushered in last
Thursday eve, by the usual Christ
mas tree at the court house in this
place. The house had been hand
somely decorated by the committee
appointed for that purpose, and two
handsome young fir trees were
loaded with presents. The exer-
cises consisted first of a short
program rendered by the school,
after which a collection was taken
up for the purpose of defraying the
expense of laying a sidewalk to the
school house. This collection
amounted to $Io.35. Then follow
ed the usual distribution of nuts
and candy to every child present.
After this the presents were dis
tributed from the trees. Everybody
seemed TO be we'll remembered, and
the evening was a very enjoyable
one to all present. Among the
other gifts on the tree was a purse
of money made up by kind-hearted
people of Toledo, and presented to
Mrs. Burns, whose family have
been sick so long.
