THY SPIRIT WALKS WITH ME-.

l know thy spirit walks with me,
Else why should l.
So often, often think OF thee,
So tender and so true to me,
In days gone by?
When springtime gladness fills the
land,
In autumn scar.
On misty moonlit summer night,
When winter skies with stars are
bright.
Then thou art near.
The wild birds sweet and plaintive
note
From leafy dell,
The voice OF waters soft and low,
Where pebbles stay their onward flow.
The Sabbath bell.
The glow which falls from sunset skies,
Across the sea,
The perfume borne by passing breeze,
From lightly shaken flowers, all these,
Bring thoughts of thee.
I know thy spirit walks with me.
And glad am |,
To feel that now thou knowest full
well
The love my lips refused to tell,
In days gone by.

LEGALIZE THE PRIMARIES

Shortly after the converting of the
Legislature bill will be introduced
to legalize the primary elections of
Hartford county. We have endeavored
for the past several weeks to present
to our readers arguments showing
the necessity of this legislation In
fact we have kept on arguing until
the last enemy has like Davy Crock
ett's coon come down without even
being shot at. There of course can be
no surprise at this, since the need of
some check in the manner of conduct.
ing primaries has been apparent to
every right thinking man for years
past.
The sentiment has been steadily
growing and all it needed was little
Capitalization.
The most important thing at this
time, it seems to us is to get the right
kind of a bill before the Legislature.
One that will cover all the necessary
points and yet not be too cumber-
some. 1t should be drawn in man
ner so that it will not be abstruse, vet
it should contain in plain language
every necessary point so as not to re-
quire judicial construction or interpre-
tation. 1t would be well for the Dem
ocrats to get together and agree upon
the necessary provisions and we will
be glad to make their views public.
We therefore,, invite correspondence
for the time to criticise is now. Don't
wait until the law is past and then
make your complaints. Let us have
your views so that the members of the
Legislature can have an opportunity
to know your wishes.

BULLER'S DEFEAT.

Lieutenant General Sir Redvers
Butler, commanding about so, 600 men
constituting the main British army
in South Africa, was defeated in a
battle at Colenso, Natal, by the Beers
on Friday. Gen. Butler was advanc-
ing to the relief of Ladysmith, and
the full force of the disaster may be
appreciated when it is known that,
after many weeks of delay, used in
preparing for the expedition, securing
every facility ia the way of men and
guns and all the munitions Of war, he
has met with disaster worse than the
combined reverses of Generals White
Methuen and Gatacre. The Beers
captured eleven guns, and the British
loss was extremely heavy, its full ex.
tent not being yet known. The de-
feat is the most serious which the
English forces have yet experience in
the Transvaal war, and is regarded in
London as the most serious event in
Great Britain's military history since
the Indian Mutiny. 1t marks a tenn
porary failure OF all the plans to con-
quer the Beers, and verifies the old
saying

CHRISTMAS.

The institution of this festival is
attributed by historians to Teles-
phorus but the first certain traces of
it are found about the time of the
Emperor Commodus A. D. 1893. In
the reign of Diocletian, 2S4--305,
while that ruler was keeping Court at
Nicomedia, he learned that multi
tude of Christians were assembled in
the city to celebrate the birthday of
Jesus, and having ordered the church
doors to be closed, he set fire to the
building, and all the worshippers
persisted in the flames.
1t does not appear, however, that
there was any uniformity in the
period of observing the nativity
among the early churches; some held
the festival in the month of January
others in May or April. 1t is almost
certain however, that the 25th day of
December cannot be the nativity OF
the Saviour for it is then the height of
the rainy season in Judea, and shep-
herds could hardly have been watch
ing their flocks by night on the plains.
While Christmas later, became, the
parent of many festivals so that
from the fifth to the eighth century a
Christmas Cycle sprung up it was not
arbitrarily celebrated on this date. 1t
has Of later years by universal aecep-
tation been fixed on December %. II
matters act however, what day we
celebrate as our Saviour's nativity.
1t is the event, and the date is imma-
terial. 1t is indeed the most joyous
season OF the year. What one of US, mo
matter how hardened by contact with
the cruel, selfish world has made Us,
does not look back with soft tender
memories to the days of our infancy
when this great event was looked for

expectancy and even the hours were

Then came the long sleepless night
