POEMS OF CHILDHOOD.
WHAT THE FIRE SAID.
(By Frank j. Stanton.)


(By Frank j. Stanton.)
This is what the Fire said
To the little boys in the trundle bed,
While the blaze was burning red and blue
And the wind sang over the chimney f1ue.
''Bad little boys,
They get no toys
They will never taste O. the Christmas joys
They will never know
Where the reindeer go
With Santa Claus, DER the Christmas snow;
Ger the housetops high
He will pass them by;
Over empty stockings they will weep and
sigh
He will pass them by,
He will pass them byp'
And the little boys in the trundle bed
Turned to the Fire, and weeping, said,
'When your red flames glow
They chatter so,
If it wasn't for you he would never know!
If it wasn't for you
We'd have toys. too
Talking, talking the long night through.
While the shadows flicker and dance about;
for a rain to put you outr'
But the Fire said; ''The skies are bright;
There will be no rain from the clouds to-
night;
My flame is fierce; L am strong to fight;
And when he comes
With his horns and drums,
And sleigh half full O. sugar plums,
I'll blister his feet
With my burning heat,
And drive him back to the snow and sleet!
1 will make him fly
Ger the housetops high
Over empty stockings you'll weep and sigh ;
He will pass you by,
He will pass you byr'
".
That is what the Fire said
To the little boys in the trundle bed;
And then, they covered each curly head
And cried themselves to sleep,
But when all save the noisy Fire was still
Ever singing its angry WILD
And on The housctop, .and on the hill
The snow lay white and deep,
There came the so und of tinkling sleigh,
And fairy trumpet blew far away;
And Santa Claus, in his coat OF gray,
Came on with a merry shout!
And over the chimney shaking the snow
To the place whele he knew the flames must
glow,
The flakes fell fast on the hearth below
And put the fire out!
Then, down the darkened chimney he sped,
And standing close by the trundle bed,
and seeing the sorrowful little boys,
He filed their stockings and hats with
toys!

MAD DOGS.

The people of many sections Of tlls
county are greatly stirred up over uie
mad dog danger. That there is danger
from this terrible disease does not ad-
nit of doubt. Three or four dogs
showing every symptom OF rabies nave
been running at large through VIDE
section, and are known to have bitten a
number OF dogs, chickens, cats ana
probably other animals, and in some
cases children and grown persons have
had very narrow escapes. Most oil tie
animals known to nave been bitten have
been killed. -Four or five dogs that seem
ed to be suffering with this disease have
been killed in Woodstock in the past
week, and quite a number in the sur
rounding country, but the great danger
is from the dogs that were bitten with
out the knowledge of their owners
There may be scores Of these, as the
rabid brutes were known to have tray
eled over large scope OF county
There can be no safety unless all the
dogs are muzzled or securely penned-
Mayor Rodeffer, OF Woodstock, has
issued proclamation requiring all dogs
within the corporate limits to be muzzled
or penned up.

A trip to the fountain.

A number OF our ladies and gentlemen,
accompanied by several visitors, made a
short trip to the Viewing place" on
the mountain last Monday afternoon.
They feasted their eyes upon the beauti-
ful natural picture OF the Shenandoah
Valley, at harvest time. The yellow
fields upon which so thickly stood the
shocks Of wheat, just severed, the deep
green corn crops which 50 beautifully
fringed the meanderings Of the Shenan-
doah, the grass just about yielding to the
mowers which were rapidly passing
through hundreds of fields, the green
groves that gave variety to the land
scape, the town of Uoodstock, nestled
among hundreds OF shade trees, the
score OF villages along the turnpike and
railroad, and at the various cross roads
in the county, the farm residences from
the chimneys OF which the smoke was
lazily rising aud floating away, indicat-
ing the preparation ofthe evening meal,
all blendedin into one large picture, which
like a map witt, dotted lines, lay before
them, presented scene which none OF
the witnesses will ever forget
Words cannot describe it, and your
correspondent will not attempt it.
After feasting our eyes, il not our
souls, upon the lovely view we repaired
to beautiful spring, where the ladies
improvised a table from mountain
boulder, and made it groan with the APP
petising food prepared for the occasion.
The young gentlemen had a surprise for
the party in the shape Of large piece OF
ice, lemons and sugar and prepared to
make lemonade, but were surpri sed and
chagrinned by the fact that none were
thoughtful enough to bring bucket.
The lemonade part of the program was
therefore abandoned and all thankfully
enjoyed what they had. After linger-
ing at this lovely dell on the mountain
side until the twinkling stars admonish-
ed them that it was time to return. they
slowly wendell their way back, tired, but
delighted wi tn their excursion to the
mountain side.
