vicious exeesses, drunkenness aud dis.
order receive more federation az Christ
mas than at any other time OF the year
IL Is half conceded that men have a right
10 make beasts OF themselves on Christ
mas and the goodnatured magistrate
feels the force Of the appeal when q tur-
hulent and drunken bum asks for mercy
ON the ground that he bad christmas
IN his bones, and therefore had q right
TO be drunk and disorderly. To quiet
people the Christmas holiday il often
made hideOus by the uproarious clamor
of tipsy jewellers, the explosions Of gun
powder and the senseless howlings and
screenings and loud.voiced profanity Of
the streets. In short, tho popular cele
bration Of Christmas Is either idle aud
without significance OF vicious, danger
Gus aud demsralizing. The enioyments
of the season, where they are not frankly
and openlYwioked, are low, sensual and
gross.
The law recognizes Christmas as a
holiday, but not as a holy day. Why
should men be allowed 10 buy whisky and
get drunk and swear aud fight on the
streets in order to celebrate the birth OF
the Savior? Why should the natal day
of Christ be celebrated like a Bacchan-
allan carnival? Why should it be, in
fact, the widest, noisiest, whickedest,
bloodiest day in the year2 Should the
law permit rowdies, drunkards and
reckless street jewellers TO take from
Christian men and women a day so full
of deep and sacred meaning and devote
it TO brawling and debaucherY?
IL would be a fortunate thing if at thi,
time the popular conception of a Christ
mas holiday could be brought into har
mony with its real significance to Chris
tian minds. What a pity it is that
festival intended to commemorate th,
birth Of the Prince Of Peace, who cam,
30 bring peace on earth and establish
good will among men, should be 81
largely devoted to violence, bloodshed
and the cultivation OF low appetites ant

NOT DANIEL WEBSTER.
.. . o 7!
Who Entertained Dickens with Imitation
Of q Hanging. -

''Holand," in Philadelphia Press.
In the London cable letter to the
Press printed upon Sunday. Is a para
graph which mentions the sale of an
autographic letter OF Charles Dickens,
in which the author told story of a
dinner which he e'attended, and at which
Daniel Webster was one of the guests,
and that Webster having ordered the
lights to be turned down caused bowl
containing a liquor which burned with
a ghastly light to be placed upon the
table. Then by this dismal light the
guests saw Webster with rope around
his neck, his head to one side, and his
tongue hanging out in imitation of a
man who had been hanged
Charles Dickens had such an expert
ence as that-in Boston,. but it was not
Daniel Webster who gave the represen-
tation of the hanged man. 1t was an
other Webster, and by an extraordinary
coincidence he was himself hanged
some years afterward for murder. 1t
was Professor Webster, of Harvard col
lege, who furnished their weird enter
tainment for Charles ickens, and who
was convicted of the murder of his
creditor Dr. Parkman, and hanged for
that crime. When the account of the
trial and conviction of Webster became
known to Dickens he instantly recalled
that incident of the dinner, which al.
ways impressed him as q very strange
and improper entertainment for such
an occasion as that.

SUCCESSFUL AUTHORSHIP.
Valuable Information from One Who
Makes $40. 600 Year,

There Is struggling young author in
Washington who had the misfortune to
nave a book published. and the addi-
tional misfortune of never being able
to sell the second one to any publisher.
A friend of his told him that what he
needed was advice from those who
made money out of their work, and a
friend of his in New York received sal
aries amounting to $4,000 q year from
his writings.
The two We're brought together at the
house of mutual friend, and the fol-
lowing conversation was overheard:
IL am very glad to meet YOU" said
the young man. advice from 80 sue
cessful an author would be invaluable
to me-
81 will be glad to help you with any
suggestions can make" was the graz
cious reply.
What class of books do you find pay
the best?'
Books. books?" was the response, in
tone of great disgust. who told you
! wrote books? Any man can write
books. You don't suppose l could make
$4,000 n year that way. do you? / write
advertisements, sir. for some of the
largest houses in the country. Do I
look like scribbler of books, sir?" and
the indignant author left the room.-
