LITTLE BR'EECHES.

! don't go much on religion,
/ never Amt had no show;
But I've got middlin' grip, sir,
On the handful o things l know.
] don't pan out ON the prophets
And free will and that sort of thing
But believe in God and the angels,
Ever since one night last Spring.
l come into town with some turnips,
And my little Gabe come along
No fou-year-old in the county
Could beat him for pretty and strong.
Peart and clipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight
And j learnt him to chaw terbacker
Jest to keep his milk teeth white.
The snow came down like a blanket
AS l passed by Taggart's store;
/ went in for jug of molasses
And left the team at the door.
They scared at something and started
heard one little squall,
And hell-to-split over the pairie
Went team, Little Brooches and all.
Hell-to-split over the prairie,
1t was almost frOze with skeer;
But We rousted up some torches,
And sarched for 'em far and near,
At last we struck bosses and wagon,
Showed under a soft, white mound,
Upset, dead beat-but of little Gabe
No hide or hair was found.
And here all hope soured ON me,
OF my Teller critters aid
jest topped down on my marrow
bones,
Crotch-deep in the snow, and prayed.
BY this the torches was played out,
And me an Isrul Parr
Went off for some firewood to sheepfold
That he said was somewhat thar.
We found it at last and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs at might,
We looked in and seen them huddled thar,
So warm and sleepy and white;
And there sot Little Brooches, and chiIp-
ed,
As peart as ever You see.
Il want chaw of terbacker
And that's what the matter of me-
How did he get thar? Angels.
He could never have walked in that
storm,
To whar it was safe and warm.
And l think that saving little child
And fotching him to his own
Is derned slight better business
Than loafng around the Throne.

BITTER AND SWEET.

From the Cleveland Leader)
The apple that grows highest is the best
upon the tree;
The rose that is most fragrant always
has the sharpest thorn;
The pearl that is the purest lies within
the deepest sea,
And the deeds that live the bngest are
of the hardest efforts born
The love that's won too lightly is not
treasured as gem;
The words that flow too freely never
have the greatest weight;
Man appreciates his blessings if he has
to strive for them,
But he, never knows their value if
they're passed up on plate.
FOR THE SUNSHINE SOCIETY.
IF we can stop one heart from breaking
We shall not live in vain;
Ii we can save one life that's aching,
Or soothe one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Into his nest again,
We shall not live in vain"
SUNSHINE.
Gods greatest gift to earth and man ID.
Is sunshine pure and bright;
1t melts the clouds that DER us hang.
Makes darkness into light
I'm sure a Heavenly blessing
Will come to one who strives
To pierce with rays of sunshine
The shadows of our lives.
AN ALARMING POSSIBILITY.
Should the Carson City bruisers
Fail to have their promised bout,
Mesdames Corbett and Fitzsimmons
May proceed to have it out.

JUST AS MOTHER USED TO DO

He criticised her buildings, and he didn't
like her cake:
He wished she'd make the bicuit that
his mother used to make;
She didn't washed the dishes, and she
didn't make a stew,
And she didn't mend his stockings, as
his mother used to do.
All, well, she wasn't perfect, though sh,
tried to do her best,
Until at length she thought her time had
come to have a rest;
So. when one day he went the same old
rigmarole all through,
She turned and boxed his ears, just as
his mother used to do.

SHE FELL, BUT

He had read that startled maidens
Fell upon the lovers breast,
When the question was popped to EN-
And he put it to the test.
But the sequel was quite different
From the romance he had read
They were skating and she tripped him
And he fell square upon his head!

The man who has never used his eyes
to consider the mercies of God has used
them to small purpose.
There is no suffering like the cruel
fxion of love.

was suggested that each child, wher- ever possible, bring something. In some schools each child brought vegetable of some kind, turnip, apple, beet, onion, carrot or something of the sort; kindling wood was contributed in some schools. In some cases children made small contributions of money, but this was not encouraged. It is estimated that fully one hundred barrels of these articles were collected and distributed yesterday morning by means of the schools.
 The object of making the school con- tributions is not only to do great deal of good to many poor families who need the articles which the children contribute, but also, and perhaps chief ly, to foster In the children the idea of thinking of other people at Thanksgiv- ing time and to foster the act of giv- ing. It is interesting to see the inter- est the children take in these contribu- tions.
 These articles are distributed at first by the teachers themselves among the poor families in their own districts whom they may chance to know and whom the children may chance to know. In such cases the teachers carefully in vestiSate the cases to be sure that the persons who receive the gifts really need them The children therefore not only bring gifts, but in many cases they assist in their distribution. Many articles are also distributed through MT. Sullivan, the truant officer, who is well acquainted with the needs of many de- serving families Articles that are not distributed by means of the schools are turned over to the Organized Charities, who were busy yesterday morning send ing out wagons to the school collecting the contributions. They will be dis tributed by Agent Preston and his as- sistants.
 In the Hillhouse high school s110S4 was contributed by the pupils, who ap pointed committees to look up deserv- ing families, and the money is to be spent for food and coal Thirty-four families are to be provided for by the pupils of the school after an investiga- tion of their needs. Among the families was one consisting of widow and ! eight children, with little or no means of support. Twenty-three dollars was turned over by the senior class to the Rev. w. D. Mossman of the City mis- sions.
 | In this way practical lesson in char 1ty and kindness was taught to thou | sands of children, and scores of needy , persons were given assistance.
 Those schools that did not take part in the Thanksgiving offering will make similar offerings at the Christmas holi- days, re--..

 New York, Nov. 24,-Amos F. Enc, when seen at his office at No. Ill Broadway, this morning, with reference to the published report that he had notified the creditors of the dry goods firm of which he was q mem Der in 1860, and which suspended with large liabiii.les at the breaking out of the war, of his readiness to pay his share of the firms debts, with interest, declined to add anything to what had already been said.
 ,.I am disinclined to say anything" he said; and 1 regret very much that the matter, which is surelyya private one, has become public. The article published in q morning paper is substantially true, though it has been colored some"
 The firm of Enc, Bueren & Valentine, dealers in silks and fancy goods, assigned during the panic that accompanied the open ing of active hostilities Tn the civil war. All that could be realized from the sale of the stock and business, making a small dividend, was turned over to the creditors. each one of whom Signed the release. Scarcely any of these firms are in business now. In some cases the name survives, but the members have changed In one, the members of the firm are the grandchil- dren of the original members. Rarely was the debt of Enc, Bueren & Valentine ever remembered
