COMING THRo, THE RYE.

A dainty little maiden
Came a.tripping through the rye,
An airy bit of womanhood.
With laughter in her eye,
A jaunty little lassie,
With II little coy way,
As merrily she tripped along
To that natty Scottish lay: ..
"Gin body meta body
Comm thro' the rye,
Gin u body kiss body
Need body cry?"
A brawny Scottish laddie
Was a-working in the rye;
A brawny, fearless fellow,
But Il little bit too shy.
A bashful. blushing laddie,
Al that coy maiden's dare,
As merrily she tripped along
To that natty Scottish air.

The Seasons Novelties.

Every year brings some novelties in
Christmas glfts-new designs in jewels,
as well as in furniture, in silver, in
glass, and in Thousand and one pieces
of bric-a-brac, either useful or orna-
mental. sometimes possessing both
qualities. Among the most beautiful
OF the novelties this year are the vari-
GUS pieces OF Russian enamsl, so ex-
quisite in workmanship and design as
to seem only fitted for a cabinet; but
the workmanship ia 80 thorough that
even the jewelled bonbonnieres, card
cases and buckles can be used every
day; the coloring is wonderful, show
ing finish and beauty beyond any
thing that has been seen here for many
years. A jewel caslet has the entire lid
covered with a copy of the Russian
wedding feast, and each minute de
tail absolutely perfect. The PRINCIPAL
designs on the card cases have the
effect somewhat Of mosaic, represent.
ing the famous Russian beadwork, and
even those that are not set with Jewels
| arc worthy of close examination,
tine blending of the colors being so deli
eately done. Most curious of all the on.
amels, though, are some tea caddies oil
IA deep shaded red. These have nc
ornamentation except slight beading
around the top. and the fancy is tc
have the monogram cut in. This shows
the silver underneath the enamel, and,
if possible, intensifies the rare shading
of color OF course all these enameleC
pieces are expensive, and are not for d
moment to be ranked among the low
priced articles, but considering the
work upon them they cannot be called
dear. -Harper's Bazaar

Onern-l,hgs.

Newest of all of theEe pretty and USE
full articles are tho opera bags, which
are now seen with all the gorgeous
opera-Gloaks. They bear some resem-
blance TO the brocade and plush bags
in which the opera glasses have been
carried of late years, but are still more
like the old-fashioned bags that were
carried in tine day of crinoline and
farthingaie Our ancestors found the
fashion a convenient one, and it is
not to be wondered that their descend
ants should revive the pretty and
quaint custom again. So gorgeous arc
the brocades, the satins, and the vel
vets used in the construction of this
season. opera- cloaks that the bags arc
marvelously beautiful. The first night
of the opera season in New York, when
clothed in these robes OF state, en- route
10 their boxes or carriages, the women
ono and all had these bags suspended
from tho right arms by wide satin rib
bous tied in large double bow. The
bag must be like long pouch in shape,
anu is almost invariablyemade of the
same material as the cloak. These
to literally ''stand Alone" do not need
any.stiif lining or canvass sewed at the
bottom, as in the opera glass bags of
| last year. Sometimes they are not
even lined throughout, but have merely
n deep facing of satin around the top
A border of fur and frill of lace are
often seen as a finish around the top,
and it can easily be recognized that
only the handsomest qualities of either
can be used. - Harper's Bazaar.

"A WATER LILY.


Radiant and pure as pearl
The exquisite petals unfold
And fragrance like frankincense floats
From the bosom of tremuous gola.

Over evil and darkness and death.

The Christmas Dinner.

Harper's Bazar.
The chief characteristics of Christ
mas dinner table should be brightness
and glowing color. On this account
table decorations in which red and
green are skilfully combined are very
effective for Yule tide dinner. The
cloth may be of white satin damask.
The centre piece is II round OF white
satin embroidered in design of holly
leaves and berries On this centre. piece
rests huge bowl of holly with its
glossy green leaves and scarlet berries.
From beneath this bowl stretch stream
ers of broad rod satin ribbon to the four
corners of the table. At zach corner
the ribbon ends in large bow in
which is fastened bunch of holly.
The candle shades are OF deep red, and
cast warm glow upon the white cloth.
Eoutonnieres for tho gentlemen are
sprigs OF holly, while deep red Jacque-
minut roses form the ladies' corsage
bouquets White and green, or white
and gold china is pretty upon table
thus laid, although any dishes may be
used that will not contrast unfavorably
with the red and green decorations. A
menu for Christmas dinner may be

Comrades of Joseph Powell Post Enthusi-
asiic About the Sons of Veterans.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In order to
encourage others TO go and do likewise" /
desire YOU to publish in your valuable paper a
brief history of Joseph Powell Post, CAB,
GAR. located at Feesburg, o., together with
some Of the resulting benefits produced from
its organization. In July, 1894, after labori-
Gus effort Of several months, we secured about
% names to petition for charter, which was
secured, and under which the above-named
Post was at once organized.
At first we encountered many difficulties and
met with many discouragements, but having
faced many of a more dangerous character
during our lives as soldiers we soon put them
behind us by determined effort; SO that now
we have a very interesting and substantial
Post
This, however, is not what most desired 10
speak about, as it is Of minor importance 10
tie auxiliary organization of a Camp of Sons
OF Veterans, under the name of Darlington
Stewart Camp. g. which ganization was al
most "unhonored and unknown until the
veterans Of our Post presented its merits and
extolled its virtues.
Soon an interest sprang up, and with char
ter membership OF about 30 patriotic and intel
Igent young men Of the neighborhood who
were eligible, they established their Camp,
which has grown in numbers and interest at
every successive meeting since it's organ ization,
IN February. 1895 until now it stands as
living, moving monument Of Friendship
Charity and Loyalty OF which every patriotic
soldier and citizen feels justly proud. Its
members ready and willing at ali times 10
exercise the spirit Of sweet charity" that
makes men feel nobler. grander, better.
This Camp has done much good in aiding
its members who by reason Of sickness have
needed its assistance; il has set examples Of
patriotism by public demonstrations Of devo-
tion both 10 the living and dead veterans: il
has developed the mental strength Of its men,
bers by practicing discipline OF head and heart.
In fact, il is baud Of excellent. energetic. and
faithful young men, intent on doing and being
good.
Now, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE constantly
and earnestly urges all GAR Posts to en-
courage the establishment OF these Camps; aud
since il is so easily done, and Of such lasting
benefit both to Posts and members of Cam rs,
j cannot see why any Post should neglect to
give the fullest encouragement TO this work.
We now feel that we could not and would
not, under any consideration, do without our
young friends, the Sons Of Veterans of Darling
