When Daddy Lights the Tree.

Iaraaret r. Sangster in the Woman's HoI
Companion.
We have our share of ups and downs,
Our like other foik:
The pocket book is Sometimes full,
We're sometimes nigh dcad-biG Ike;
But once year, al Christmas time,
Our hearth is bright to see;
The baby's hand just touches heaven
When Daddy lights the tree.
For weeks and weeks the little ones
Have lotted on this hour:
And mother. she has planned for 1t
Sjrce summers and shower.
With here a nickel. there dime,
Tut by whsre meme should see,
4 loving hoard against the night
When Daddy fights the tree.
The tiny tspers glow like stars;
They mind of the flame
That rifted once the ste, l-hlue sky
The morn the Christ ch Id came;
The BIZ IS angels sang to earth
Above that far cnuntree--
We think they sing above cur hearth
When Daddy lights the tree.
The weest kid in mothers arms
Laughs out and cIaps her hands,
The rest Of us on tiPtoe wait.
The growr-up brother stands
Where he can reach the topmOst branch
Our Santa Claus To be.
In that sweet hour of breathless joy
Wien Daddy lights the tree.
Our grandpa says twas just as fne
In days when he was young;
For every Christmas ag through
The happy bells have rrng.
And Daddy's head is growing gray,
But yet boy is he.
As merry the rest Of us
When Daddy lights the tree.
'ris Love that makes the world 60 round,
Iis Love that lightens toll.
IT'S Love that lays up treasure which
Nor moth nor rust can spoil;
And Love is in our humble home.
In iargessc full and free,
We all are very close to heaven
When Daddy lights the tree.

The Spiders Appetite.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The spider has tremendous appetite and
his gourmandizing dsfies all human compe-
tition. A scientist who carefully noted a.
spiders consumption of food in twenty-four
hours concluded that If the spider were
built proportionately to the human scale he
would eat at daybreak approximately a
small alligator: by am. a lamb; by 8
an, a young camelopard; by l o'clock, a
in which there were 40 birds Yet, In spite
OF his enormous appetite. q spider has WON
derful power of refraintng from food, and
one has been known to live for ten months
whsn absolutely deprived of food A beetle
lived In similar state OF unrefreshment
for three years!

The Hearts Desire.
From the Pail Mali Gazette.

From the Pail Mali Gazette.
When God shall crown at last the victor's head,
And lead him home with song and .nstresy,
How thine utmost hope accomplished,
warrior that has wrought yauantyI
mo more for me the harness and the sword,
l tight more the battles of the Lord;

My mothers lips, sweet, sweet against mine own.
When God shall brim the vessel that void,
And in His likeness wake the satisfied
What anchorage of Iapture unalioyed
wit thon desiIe, o woman hungry-eyedf
The little babe that for one golden day
Slept mine H. and in my bosom lay
The clinging touch
That was tiny and that meant much"
When God replenshes the empty heart,
And with his go, dness fills the longing soul.
What wilt thou ask, world weary that thou art,
What part wilt choose who may'st attain the
whole?

At the Last.

We buried her among the flowers
At falling of the leaf,
And CHECKED back al uur, tears; her joy
Gould never be Our gfief
She lies among the living flowers
And grass, the Only thing
That perisbes--or fSiit tltat
Our autumn was her spring?
IN IE
Doubtless IL we could sic her face.
The smile is SETTLED fhere
Which almost broktl our hearts when last
We knelt by her p ptTer;
When, with tired eSes and failing breath
And hands crossed oBSher breast.
Perhaps she saw her Guardian spread
His wings abovesher rest.

So she sleeps hidden in the flowersj
But yet little whilef
And we shall see terl wsaie and rise,
Fair, with the salf-sarie smile.

The Cynic's Song,

From Vanity Fair.
Would ye your loves compare
With yonder posiesf

As the summer rose is?
Yea, for on every rose
In the word abiding.
To vex man heart, there grows
A thorn i'll hiding.

ugation and discovered that the notice
had been served on a local soliciting
agent and not on the company's regis
tered agent for Pennsylvania, as the
act of assembly requires. Yesterday he
recalled the order of Nov. 2. set aside
the order quashing the appeal and re-
instated the certiorari. Accompanying
the order was the following opinions:
Upon the showing now made the
judgment Of the alderman must be re-
versed. The defendant Is q New York
corporation doing business in this state
and In compliance with the constitu-
tion and the laws have appointed an
agent to represent It. here. upon whom
service of process Is to be made. The
plaintiff In bringing suit was. bound to
inform himself whether this had been
done, but instead of doing so he has
contented himself with serving a local
soliciting agent of the company, with
out authority to represent II. This was
no service at all and the alderman OBJ
tained no jurisdiction over the defend
ant thereby. The certiorari was taken
out more than twenty days after judg-
ment, but that does not matter. The
company acted as soon as ii had knowl-
edge OF II and that was sufficient in
view of the want of jurisdiction over It,.
The Judgment is reversed.

The grand jury made it's second re-
turn yesterday morning and its final
return yesterday afternoon. Judge Ed
wards discharged the jurors with the
thanks of the court
In the morning return approval was
given the petition for bridges at the
following points:
over the creek which crosses the
Philadelphia and Great Bend turnpike
in the township of Benton; over Spring
Brook creek, near the mouth of Green
Run creek; in Scott township over
Coon Brook; in borough of Dalton over
stream from Dalton to LaPlume; in
Scott township over Smiths Creek on
the road from Green Grove to Oily
phant; in South Abingdon over Car
penters Creek; in the borough of La
Plume across south branch of Tunk-
hammock creek; three bridges across the
south branch of the Tunkhannock
creek. between townships of Benton
and North Abingdon.
The final return was accompanied by
the following communication to court:
SOME IGNORED BILLS.
TO the honorable, the judges of the
court of quarter sessions of LaCka
wanna county.
The grand inquest inquring in and
for the county of LaCkawanna, respect
fully report as follows:
That we have visited the county Jail
and found everything in excellent con-
ditiOn.
That while we are glad to see the
constables of our county return un-
licensed liquor dealers to court, yet
such Constables are to be censured for
not subpoenainG witnesses to substan-
tiate such cases after they are returned
to court. That in numerous instances
before the present grand jury certain
constaSles seem to have made no ef-
fort whatever to bring the proof Of the
illegal sale of liquor. This explains uur
action in placing the costs upon certain
constables. We have done so. believ-
ing that they simply went through the
form of returning unlicensed dealers
and then abandoned the cases. We be-
lieve that when ConstableS make re-
turns of unlicensed dealers they should
do all in their power to bring such per-
sons to justice.
That certain aldermen and Justices
of the peace throughout the county are
in the habit of sending numerous petty
and unworthy cases TO court. making
unnecessary costs for the county
Respectfully submitted.
