CHRISTMAS IN
THE ARMY.

The Army of the Potomac, under Cen
eral George B. Mcclellan, was camped
about Washington, from August 1861, to
March, 1862, and most of it in Virginia,
as far down the Potomac as Alexandria, as
far as up as Chain Bridge and as far out
toward General Beauregard and his tena.
cious Americans as Munson's hill. Early
December word came to the soldiers that
railroad and express companies would
carry free packages intended for Christmas
presents and dinners for the soldiers.
That year there was Christmas dinner
for every mess. From the rich homes Of
the large cities had come the best in the
market. From tens of thousands of farms
had come the daintiest dishes that mothers,
wives, sisters, daughters and sweethearts
could prepare.
On Christmas, 1862, the army was shiv-
ering along the rivers Rappahannock and
Rapidan, and as fal out as Culpepper Court
House. 1t was too cold, and the men were
too poorly housed to enjoy the day. 1t
was not holiday to many-a day of
misery, instead. That was the coolest
Christmas the south had seen for 80 years,
and it has not seen one like it since.
christmas dinners were the order of the
day in 1864. The army was strung along
behind Notifications from Richmond to
below Yellow House, on the Weldon rail.
road, distance Of nearly 40 miles. The
sanitary and Christian commissions had
arranged to supply the army with Christ
mas dinner. Few men were overlooked.
Except that in 1861, it was the happiest
Christmas for the Union army since the
trouble began. There were many signs
that the next Christmas would be enjoyed
at home, and so it was by all who escaped
the hot times from March 90 to the evening
OF April 9th, after Grant and Lee met at
Appomattox. -Milwauke Sentinel.

half the fun of getting them, so there may
be very tiny thimble as the reward for
seeking through many wrappings or boxes.
Another way of presenting the gifts is in
the form of wonder ball. Something is
taken for the nucleus, and around this are
wound many papers, with now and ther
another gift until all are in and we'll GOV

and illustrates the truth that patience is
rewarded. This is rather too much work
to be enjoyable to an impatient child.
The simplest way of preparing the offer

nothing to equal Christmas box, which

OF the trouble in this world arises
from the sin of yielding to passion.
Temper increases tenfold by action.
1t you speak you will say too much,
and the more passion you feel There
are times when it is right to show
proper resentment, when manhood is
insulted; times when something
ought to be said, but wait until the
sweet by'and-by-then you will know
what you ought to say, and often
when we thus wait we shall respect
ourselves more to keep still and LET
