ASLEEP.

He is sleeping sweetly now,
Not one care upon his brow;
In his eyes no fever burning.
In his heart no eager yearnins:
Both his hands are quiet. dear.
Aid there is no crystal tear
On his check; the night is sweet
To the quiet of his feet.
He is sleeping ever calm
In the perfume and the balm
That must bring to MIN at last
All the pageanIs of the past
In their bright procession winding
Down the wales beyond all finding
But TO those who sleep with him
Where the dreamless years are dim
lie is sleeping softly now.
With no wrinkle on his brow.
All We lived for-there he lies.
With the slumber on his eyes.
Everlasting, Let him sleep,
Do not murmur. do not weep.
Think. my darling. of the tears
He will know not through the years,

ON EARLY CHRISTMAS DAYS
Quaint and Interesting Customs That
Prevailed When tho Church and
Festival Were Young.

In the early days Of the church. 1t is
said that the bishops used to sing
carols on Christmas day among their
clergy, and around the sixteenth GEN.
fury the well-known practice observed
by children of going around the neigh
borhood singing Christmas carols be-
meath the windows of the houses. was
commonly observed, usually. taking
place on Christmas morning. One Of
the oldest and most beautiful Of the
Christmas carols that has come down
to the present day open with these
words:
God rest you, merry gentlemen.
Let nothing you dimay.
For Jesus Christ. our Savior.
Was born upon this day.
To save us all from Satan's power.
When We were gone astray.
o, tidings Of comfort and Joy!
For Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Was born on Christmas Day."
It Is sometimes more appropriate t.
Sing the Christmas carols on Christ
mas eve than on Christmas day. al.
though they are sung at both times;
but In England the choir Of the village
church used to 60 around to the prin.
cipal houses in the parish and sing
some Of these simple hymns on Christ
mas eve regularly.
Frequently the singers were &C.
companied on some instrument and
often the picture presented was a
pretty one. The figures Of the group
Of singers, only visible in the dark
ness by the lanterns they carried. and
the sweet melody sung and played.
made the observance striking and
beautiful one.
Sometimes in England, the carols
were also sung in the churches In
place of ehe usual psalms and hymns;
although 1t was more customary for
the clerk at the close of the service
in a loud voice to wish all the congre-
cation a merry Christmas and hap
py New Year.

AN UNUSUAL
AUCTION SALE

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 81.
Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh has just ordered what will
probably be the most unusual auc-

States. The general public will
be invited to bid on a room-full
of valuables. the unclaimed prop

abroad alone and so far as known,
friendless.
The property came from every
quarter of the globe, whence u.
s. consuls forwarded 1t to the
state department. The govern
ment has been unable to find the
heirs, and so the unclaimed per-

thousands of dollars, have for
years lain in a huge vault in the
