THE SONG OF THE FROST KING.
BY w. TYLER oLCoTT.

I'm king of the Alpine heights;
I'm lord of the snow-capped peaks;
For me the avalanches roar,
And the "cold-wrought silence"
speaks.
I dwell in palace of cleaning snow,
Where the cloud-mists dream of the
sunset glow.
At my heels the wind dogs cringe;
At my word they swiftly dash
In mad career, over all the world,
For they fear my singing lash;
And the dawn-pink fingers alone for
In the glorious light of the golden sea.
I'm king of the rock-bound crests;
I'm lord of the rugged sleeps;
For me the frost-sprite weaves a veil,
And the sluggish glacier creeps
I'm monarch of Earth's vast Solitude,
Where the frost and the cold forever
brood.

ACHRISTMAS WOOING

There has been many memorable

with so stirring, so boldly-outlined
so sweet a memory.

the Kerr family kept open house for
score Of friends during the holidays
AS usual at these gatherings, we
were thrown together continually, and
my whole soul had suddenly gone out
to the sister Of my friend Eugene
Her head was covered with dark
shining, chestnut hair, luxuriant hair
that looked all the more luxuriant,
perhaps, by reason Of the careless
way in which it was wrapped about
her head. The great gray eyes were
set deeply under a straight wide
brow. A delicate nose that would
turn up a little when she lifted hei
head, and a splendidly-cut, clever
wide mouth, the lips of which parted
every now and then with a sweet
smile, were there. This was her face
and 1t was fair enough; but 1t was
her hgure, her glorious, graceful, full
yet supple figure that struck me most
Nor was she averse to my attentions.

Kerr, the mother of my young friends
She was stately matron, and In her

previously heard so much, it is

In all the surrounding towns it
is worth less than in Lancaster.
This price has brought out lots
Of cotton that has been lying
around the country. The sales
here Wednesday were 2O7 bale.
On Thursday 27O bales were
marketed here and yesterday the
receipts did not fall far short of
the previous days.
Up to Thursday night there
had been 631 bales hauled in
and marketed here. To that add
1l9 bales that had been stored
at the factory and that have
been sold this week, and we
have Il total of $50 bales sold
here in five days of this week.
"Pretty good,' you say. Well,
we think so, too, but it was
the price that did it. Our peo-
pie have learned that when cot
ton gets to the price it is now
bringing, they had best sell it.
and they have sold it this week.

A Much Abused Word.

The way certain words are
misused and abused should APP
peal to one. 1t is fact that if
any word has tried to adapt
itself to every possible and i'm
possible situation "grand" is
the one that has made the at
tempt. A person needs but
walk about any city to be con-
frontcd with Grand hotels and
Grand View houses Sometimes
it fits the house which it adorns,
sometimes it seems but Il Sar-
dOnic attempt to make them
seem the more forlOrn. 1t rises
to the sublime and describes the
mountains, it descends to the
level of every day life and ap-
pears us a descriptive term when
the weather is mentioned. On
the lips of the milliner it lures
on to her doom the woman who
without the support of a friend
is selecting Il hat, and the
"docsn't she look grand in
that?' causes her to depart with
the hat in her possession. One
hears about "grand" dinners
and "grand" times, but the last
straw is when the shop woman
says, "That coat fits you some
