H0N0RED SIMPSON.

On Tuesday when Hon. Jerry Simp-
son arrived home to vote he was met at
the depot by seventeen young ladies', Is
OF whom were dressed in white wearing
silver hats and one dressed in yellow,
and marched with him to the polls. He
was escorted from the depot to The
election booth 10y Il. V. Cant and E
Williams, two old soldiers and CON-
rades of Jerry. The band furnished
some good music and the streets were
crowded with enthusiastic admirers
who sent forth ci.eer after cheer for the
statesman. Although it was election
day and only people OF this township
were in the city, the procession which
met MIR. Simpson was fully as great as
the one which met Chester |. Long on
the Saturday previous.
This speaks we'll for the high esteem
in which Our jerry is held at home
and the loyal reception given in honor
of his arrival home after many weeks
OF hard campaigning is an event that
Mr.. Simpson Can well remember with a
feeling of pride.
The young ladies who volunteered
their services in the cause of financial
reform are to be congratulated on their
PATRIOTISM.
The following are those of the ladies
who marched in the 'l6 to ~ ranks.
We would say that they are among the
prettiest young ladies in the county but
our readers are we'll aware of that fact
without mentioning it:

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Poor We're Not Forgotten In the Days
 of Long Ago.

The Poor Were Not Forgotten In the Days
 cf Long Ago.
 There is an ancient custom for the rector of Fiddle Hinton, in Dorsetshire, to give away on old Christmas day, the 9th of January, annually, a pound of bread, pint of ale and minoe pie to every poor person in the parish, and this distribution is regularly made by the rector to upward of 300 poor persons. At Stafford there is an old charity for providing poor people with plums for their Christmas puddings, aBd kind hearted man at Burnham left sum sufficient to provide the inmates of the poorhouse of tho parish with Christi mas dinner, followed by Q proper supply of ale, tobacco and snuff.
 At Prince Risborough, in Bueking- hamshire, there was q very singular Christmas usage. Up to about 1913 6 bull, boar, a sack of wheat and sack of malt were given away to the poor by the lord of the manor at about o'clock every Christmas morning. This practice was then discontinued, and for about five or six years beef and mutton were distributed in placeof the above articles. Mir. Grubb--fit name for the dispenser of what RittYnaster Dugald Dalgetty would call "the provend' '-of the par s0nage house, the then lord of the man. or, whose father first stopped the above customary distribution, produced to the commissioners of charities Q case which his father had laid before . justice, rel ative 10 this custom. with view of ob. taining the opinion of counsel as to whether it could be sustained as a GUS tom at common law, and whether he should be suhject to legal process If he omitted to make the distribution.
 It appears from the document that the custom had then prevailed for considerable number of years; that it was mentioned in the local histories. but that it's origin 8as lost in ohsourity. The practice, while 1t lasted, seems to have been productive of much intoxiea- ton and riot. The poor are said to have pataded the town during the whole night preceding the distribution with an incessant elamor, effeetually banish- ing all repose. On the following morn ing they marched i'll crowds to Mir Grubb's house, and these assemblies of I ten comprised many strangers as we'll as parishioners. On the doors being opened they all rushed to the feast prepared for them with so little decorum and for bearance that often in their zeal for priority they inflicted wounds on one another with their knives. The whole remaining portion of Christmas day, it is stated, was spent by many of them in the public houses. The justice before whom the matter was heard was of the opinion that this custom was not sus- tainable as common law right, and the charity commissioners reported that they had received no sufficient evidence that the custom could be considered as a charitable donation the continuance of which could be enforced.

SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Roast Goose Occupies the Place of Honor.
 Gseneva Eritters the National Dish.

Roast Goose Occupies the Place of Honor.
 Geneva Fritters the National Dish.
 In this beautiful country, where the laws and the customs vary in every can ton, the mistress of the kitchen has 0 wide variety of German, Italian and French cooking to select from. But OH Christmas day, although all these styles may be united on one table, there is an invariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall be the chief dish. The dessert is a marvellous mixture of Swiss oonfectioneries, comprehending every thing from little cocoanut cakes to eIab- crate structures of flour and sugar inter spersed with all sorts of nuts and small fruits.
 But between the opening goose and the closing patisserie is introduced the really national Christmas dish called the Geneva fritters. These fritters are made after the following recipe:
 Put into a saucepan dozen pears cut into quarters and the cores taken out, with enough water to cover them. Let them stew till they are quite tender, when the water will have eyaporated. Put them into g colander and crush them with wooden spoon. Add half their weight of sugar, little lemon and a pinch of powdered cinnamon. Put the saucepan on the fire for eight or ten minutes and then let it cool Take two handfuIs of raisins, seed them and put them on the fire with enough water to soften them, then add them to the above, with Q little glass of rum or kirsoh
 Take a thin flour paste for dozen pears of moderate size and make them into a roll about the circumference of Q dollar, cover half the surface of tho paste with marmalade and cut the frit- ters into convenient sizes. Serve with the yolks of eggs, after cooking them before hot fire and powdering them with sugar.-New York World

Hunearx,a ohristnas reast.

Goulasch is the national dish of Hun gary and consists of meat cut into small pieces and cooked with onions, toma- toes and the powerful paprika, Q species of pepper peculiar to the country. This dish is naturally the most attractive in the Christmas dinner, and with it gro fried cabbage, fish soup farina cakes and cakes made from the poppy seeds.
 Dividing the honors with the gouIasoh there will be found upon tho table a roast pig invariably decorated with roses between its teeth. This meal is eaten as an evening dinner before mid night mass, and when the worshipers return from their church after midnight the table is set with cold pork, bonbous and corn brandy i,s 9 drink. 1.-- Exchange.

THE LORD OF MIsRULE. ;
BY J. H. wITHERspooN.

 "The hearts of men throb faster than of yore We measure time by centuries no more; Life that but loitered in ages gone, Now winged with haste and eagee-eyed
 speeds on" The sootehman old would brook no thoughts
 like these, With heart both great and kind he strove to
 please
 His friends, both young and old, and chose in
 season
 A leader of jolly mein, the Abbott of Un-
 reason, Whose duty twas, throughout the holidays. To help the lads and lasses in their playsi Presiding at their feats the head of the
 wild boar He adorns in flight toset each one a7roar. The English tide began on Halloy-eye Nor did they care their sports and mirth to
 ieave; But waited for the Ghristmas-tide to pass, Der reaching, oftimes the day of Candle
 mas. They chose one called the Lord of Misrule, Who rolled in place the Christmas log-the
 yule; Then spirits did not walk abroad to harm, No witches dared to exercise their charm. The Wandering Jew. at the just command of
 God, For centuries the distant lands of earth had
 trod Rest for him this time alone could lend, He needs the command, 'Go on, till time
 shall end"
  Herod's daughter, for her cruel deed, Her saddened life in continued dance must
 lead Then she. with creatures of the wood and
 fen In prayer can kneel and pray for sinfulomen. The age of superstition has passed by, Aloud for reason do the many cry Who have no fancy or could boast love No higher than could sordid luere prove. And yet they make of self the Lord of Mis-
 rule, The Abbot of Unreason, in that a fool, Although wayfaring here from day to day, Can stay in bounds of right, the strait way. Our Christmas-tide's time for hearty cheer; Oh may no raucor find Judgement here In hearts that were for higher usage given, In souls that should prepare for highest
 Heaven In Bethlehem is born today a King; Good udings joys and and love and peace
 He'll bring: From pole to pole we'll let the song arise, Until we hear it's echo from Paradise. In heaven itself the glorious light appears, On high is heard the music of the spheres, High praise to Him, tho Victor Lion Bold, Was worthy found in Judah's chosen fold.

EVERY YEAR.
BY ALBERT PIKE
Life is a count of losses,

Life is a count of losses,
 Every year; For the weak are heavier crosses,
 Every year; Lost Springs with sobs replying Unto weary Autumn's signing, While those we love are dying,
 Every year. The days have less of gladRess,
 Every year; Tine nights more weight of sadness,
 Every year; Fair Springs no longer charm us, The winds and weather harm us, The threats of Death alarm us,
 Every year. There come new cares and sorrows,
 Every year; Dark days and darker morrows,
 Every year; The ghosts of dead loves haunt us, The ghost of changed friends taunt us. And disappointments daunt us,
 Every year. To the Past go more dead faces,
 Every year: As the loved leave vacant places,
 Every year; Everywhere the sad eyes meet us, In the evenings dusk they greet us, And to come to them ,enueat us,
 Every year. "You are growing old;" they tell us,
 Every years You are more alone, they tell us
 Every year. s'You can win no new affection, You have only recollection. Deeper sorrow and dejection,
 Every year, Too truel-Effe's shores are sllaiii sllaiiiffttiitig.
 Every year; And we are seaward drifting,
 Every year; Old places. changing, fret us, The living more forget us, There are fewer teregret us,
 Every year. But the t1uer life draws higher,
 Every year. And it's Morning-star climbs higher.
 Every year; Earth,s hold on us grows slighter, And the heavy burthen lighter, And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
 Every year.
