Christmas Gifts.

Do you realize that it is almost Christ
mas time? But a few weeks now, and
Christmas with all its cheer, It's bright
ness and Joy, will be upon us. And now
the question is as to what shall be given
mother and father, to sister and brother
or son and daughter. Then there are
some dear friends to be remembered, and
with it all we wonder how money aud
ideas will hold out as we busy our brains
planning and working OF course II one
has plenty Of money the problem is
easily solved, but very few have, and the
Christmas gifts must be made with as
little expense as possible.
After all, what is there In a gift as
such outside of the spirit OF the glver?

The Lady Of Tears.

Ah0 Lazy Oh AeerAs
Through valley and hamlet and city,
Wherever humanity dwells,
With heart full Of inf lite pity,
A breast that with sympathy swells,
She walks in her beauty immortal
Each household grows sad as she nears,
But she crosses at length every portal
The mystical Lady Of Tears.
II never this vision Of sorrow
Has shadowed your life in the past,
You will meet her, know, some tomorrow
She visits all hearthstones at last.
To hovel and cottage and palace,
To servant and king, she appears
And offers the gall of her chalice-
The unwelcome Lady Of Tears.
To the eyes that have smiled but in gladness,
To the souls that have basked in the sun,
She seems in her garments Of sadness
creature to dread and to shun,
And lips that have drunk but Of pleasure
Grow pallid and tremble with fears
As she portions the gall from her measure
The merciless Lady Of Tears.
But in midnight lone hearts that are breaking
With the agonized numbness Of grief
Are saved from the torture Of breaking
By her bitter sweet draft Of relief.
Oh, then do all graces infold heri
Like goddess she looks and appears,
And the eyes overflow that behold her
The beautiful Lady Of Tears.

He was marked by misfortune from his
birth, having inherited scroiula.
Still young man, MIR. Wallace seemed,
as he told his story, to have long life Of
vigorous health and usefulness before him.
He tells about the remarkable incident
hat1ed to his complete restoration as follows:
"The first physician soon said had a
constitutional Blood disorder, and by con-
slant treatment and diet it might be cured !!
"Blood purifiers and spring medicines
made the eruptions more aggressive and
painful. In 1888 was fearful looking

The Real "Loidies" Carry canes-
Peculiar Why of Kidding
GOOd-Dy.

"Whit week." writes correspond
emit of the London Telegraph, usually
sets the seal of adoption upon the
fashions which will prevail in those
classes to whom Southend is the IA
vorite watering place and Hampstead
Heath the popular resort for Sunday
afternoons. Watching them during
the last few days, have been unable
to discover any striking developments
in millinery or raiment, but there are
two directions in which the feminine
leaders of correct style in such circles
now mark their own originality. One
is by the carrying of cane.
'Arriet now has her malacca or
wanghec tipped with a plated mount,
or her cherry-wood crook, and swings
it much more self-consciously than
she would carry her more useful UNI
brella. The first time I saw walk
ing stick as an item in the fuil-dress
attire of our less affluent citizenesses
was last July at beauty show" in
Whitechapel, when an ebony crutch
was carried by one of the fair competi-
tors who secured prize, but which
was objected to by some of the de-
feated rivals as unfair, though dis
tingue. 1t has now evidently won it's
more general acceptance.
The other distinction lies in the
manner of bidding farewell. Those
in the Smart SETS of these social
ranlts neither shake hands nor say
"good-by." They extend an arm an.
gularly, turn the hand and fingers
downward, the palm being toward the
body, and stiffly jerk the hand out
ward three times. 1t is especially eff
fective through tram windows to
friends waiting on the pavement.

Sunday last our Post, together with an
immense congregation of friends, assem-
bled at the West Hickory NJ. e. church
and listened to an able and eloquent me-
mortal sermon by Rev. r. A. Buzza of
Tionesta. The church was beautifully
decorated with flags and flowers by the
w. r.. C.
Monday at q. M, the patriotic hosts
began to arrive at the church camp
ground at Whig Hill. They came from
Hickory, Endeavor, Kellettville, New
town and other localities prompted by a
sense of patriotic duty they all contribu-
ted their full share in perpetuating the
memory of our dead. Assisted by the
able choir and post hand the G. A. r.
performed their labors of love in perfect
order, after short address j. Albaugh
deposited beautiful wreath of flowers
in memory of the boys in blue who went
down in the Maine.. thereby connecting
the memories of the fallen heroes of the
present with those of the past in one
beautiful chain of fraternity, charity and
loyalty. After general decoration of all
the graves by the assembly all marched
back to the camp ground 10 the music of
the band and on arriving at camp all at
once enjoyed the basket picnic. The
afternoon services was opened with song
by the choir and prayer by Rev. Buzza
of Tionesta, after which the young peo-
pie recited many stories in verse, inter-
spersed with singing, etc.
Rev. Buzza was now introduced and
held the large attentive assembly in per-
feet control for more than thirty minutes,
leading his hearers from one grand, pa
triotic thought to another still more
grand.
Rev. Vain of Whig Hill was the next
on the list for duty and responded nobly
and to the satisfaction of ALL
Rev. Buzza now sung few selections
for the occasion. His ability as a singer
need no comments upon the part of all
who have had the good fortune to hear
him. The thanks of Eli BerliH Post is
extended to the speakers, the cheir, the
Band and to all who in every way con-
tributed to the success of the day by their
labor and presence.
Decoration day 1898 is past and we are
marching forward towards that of 1899.
Some of us will fail short in this
march, no doubt, but let all in the love Of
God march boldly on and all will be well.
