Where shall we meet who parted long ago?
The frosty stars were twinkling In the sky,
The moorland lay before us white with snow,
The north wind smote our faces rushing by.
Where shall we meet? On such a moorland


lone?


In crowded city street, or country lane
On sandy beach-walk, while the sea makes


moan?


In quiet chamber? Shall we meet again
On any spot of old familiar ground,


Our childish haunts7 or in a far-oh land?
All mel what If on earth no spot be found
For longing eyes to meet, and clasping hand
What then ?-If angry fate reunion bars,
better meeting waits beyond the stars.
When shall we meet who parted in the night ?
At some calm dawning, or in nOOntlde heat
To-day7 tomorrow? or will years take flight
Before our yearning hearts find welcome


sweet?


When shall we meet? While summer roses lie
Beside our path, and rustic overhead?
Or later, when n leaden winter sky
Looks coldly on the empty garden-bed?
While youthful faith and hopefulness are ours ?
Or only when our hair Is growing gray2
All mel we may have done with earthly hours
Before 10 comes to us, that happy day
What then 7-Let life's lone path be humbly


trod,


And where or when we meet, we leave to God.

We take pride, on this twenty-irst Christmas
greeting to the patrons of the Chief, in calling
attention to our outside pages, this week. Are
they not handsomei We wish we could set
them in that style every week, but We could not
afford it. There is an immense amount OF read
ing there, nasty Christmas articles, and all oil
it interesting. We do not think there is word
on those pages that any one can object to, be he
either saint or sinner. In fact. we coDfientiy
send II forth as a model, both of mechanical
beanty and of reading matter.


As this is the last issue before Christmas, we
take the occasion to wish all our patrons Mer-
ry Christmas, and hope that the next year may
be to them one of health, happiness, prosperity,
and good gifts.


We thank those who have enabled MS to enjoy
so many n happy Christmas in Kansas, and ask
n nfimuanee of ihrir favors. In your festivi-
ties, do not forget the printer. Remember, the
better the patronage you give him, and the
prompter the pay, the better paper be can make.
When he is harassed and perplexed to obtain
the means to keep his family and his paper alive,
he cannot devote the time and care to the paper
to make it as good as it should be. We shall do
our duty, the coming year, if onr patrons will do
theirs.

An ENTERING WEDGE.-By a majority of one,
in House less than one-quarter full, a Southern
war claim has been approved, which looks some
what like an entering wedge. Our Washington
dispatches show that it is claim for insurance
money aud dividends collected on property seiz-
ed by the Union troops in New Orleans. The
property was restored to the owners ut the close
of the war, but the money collected had been
paid into the Treasury, and could only be paid
back by order of Congress. That order has
been secured, so far as the vote of the lower
branch of Congress can give it. If this bill is
but the first of series, the fact that it appears
to have been passed by party vote will give
rise to some interesting speculation as to what
might happen, if the Senate, too, should have a
Democratic majority one of these days.-Ner

The postmaster of Spencerfort, N. Y,
is not happy. His last quarters account
showed MIN indebted to the government,
over and above his salary and disburse-
ments, in the sum of $78.76 This
amount he has on hand and cannot legally
get rid of it. The department ordered
him to pay it over to the agent of the
Hudson River railroad company, but that
individual declines to receive it, as the
larger portion is composed of siver coin,
and the law is specific that silver coin is
only legal tender in sums of IS or less.


Section 35S of the Postal laws provides
that no postmaster shall "loan, invest,
appropriate or exchange" any money
coming into his hands in his official
capacity, and section 359 makes it a
prin1d fdcie case of embezzlement if he
neglects OF refuses to honor draft, duly
certified, presented by any contractor or
agent for carrying the mails. No EXCUSE
whatever will be received for non-com-
pliance.


The position of the unfortunate man
is, therefore, this: The government
cannot compel the Hudson River rail
road company to receive more than IS
worth of silver coin. They have ordered
the postmaster to pay over his surplus
to the aforesaid road. That surplus con-
sists principally of silver, which the law
forbids him to exchange for other money
and which the department itself is, under
the law, forbidden to receive from him
in any amount over $;5.


The unfortunate man has written a
pitiful appeal to Postmaster James, i'll
New York, but the entire wisdom of the
department has thus far been inadequate
to suggest any means of relief. Until
the law is changed he stands self-con-
victed of being an involuntary felon.

Yesterday was the closirg day of the New
England Fair and while the attendance was
smaller than on the previous days of the week
the number present was very satisfactory.
Great many persons who had come some dis

lessening the attendance. The removal of the
stock and implements from the Park COM
menced at noon, and the goods in the hall will
be taken away today.


The success of the Fair is due to the COM

tality an official reporter has been employed to
furnish lists of the entries and premiums as

much hard work and has insured official lists
of every entry and premium. Mr.. Wasson's
labors as Secretary of the State Society for
number of years have been very satisfactory,
and it is with the kind wishes of great num-
Der that he retires from the position which he
has filled SO well. Truly he has been the right

The excitement of 1.-The forenoon was in the
second series of Lacrosse games, played by the
same teams as on the previous day. The
weather was delightly invigorating and the
clubs both played much better on the start
and would doubtless have continued but for
several severe accidents to the players.
The game was called at 1890, Gen. Beals
officiating again as referee. The judges were
the same as on the previous day, with the ex-
cepton that J. E. Prindle acted for the Mon
treal club in the place of COL A. J. Nichols.
Capt. White won the toss and chose the south
ern goal Miss Beal tossed the ball and the
redskins got the first claw at it. Soon after
Strong Arm picked it up in the centre field and
started to run, as he only can run. for the
goal. Being intercepted he threw it to Karon-
rire, the goal keeper. Just as he was to pick
it up a crosse came down on his head, cutting
through the skin and making bad scalp
wound. The blood ran down his face contin-
uously, but never once did he show any signs
of giving up. But this was only the first of
series OF casualties In the same game Griffin,
the Montreal centre" and very fine player,
was thrown down, and when he attempted to





had to be carried from the grounds. A swift ball
from the Montreal team then came down be-
tween the poles and was declared effectual and
the first game was scored for the white men.


After some delay Capt. White took Mr..
Grffin's place and Mr.. Rinhardt. a spare man,
took the captaincy. Both clubs were now eager
for the fray and the playing was very Spirited.
The second game was taken by the Indians in
just one minute, the third in five and the fourth
in seven. While playing the fifth, the longest
and sharpest of all, Beckett, in defending the
goal received a severe blow on the hand which
removed the thumb nail and he was obliged to
call physician to dress it, and he retired from
the field. This occurred in sharp fight at the
goal, but not for an instant did the contest
cease. Kay was called in from the field to
take Becketts place at the goal. and Lafebre, an
Indian fielder, was dropped to make the sides
even. The game then proceeded. but the ad-
vantage was still with the red men. Karonrire,
wiping the blood from bis head from time to
time, still defended their goal, and their field
ers were everywhere. Wherever the contest
was concentrated, there were always nine IT,
dians and six white players. There could be
but one end to such contest and at 11.50 the
Caughnawagas scored their fourth game out
of five, and the play was over.

The following anecdote shows how dan
gerous it is to object to anything with
which we are not familiar: A young lady
of a certain city recently made herself the
victim of ridiculous mistake. A hand
some and wealthy gentleman, whose &C.
quaintance she had just formed, invited her
to attend dress party in his company.
She accepted, and arrayed herself for the
event with unusual care. To her surprise
and modification he appeared, to escort her
to the party, attired in white linen coat.
She invited him to be seated, and then
begged to be excused for few moments. To
her mother she stated the fact that she
would be ashamed to go with him if he
wore "that coat" It was finally decided
that she should ask the gentleman to pass
the evening at the house. Ashamed, but
determined, she told him that she did not
believe that any Of the gentlemen would
wear linen coats at the party, and that they
had better not go; delightful evening
could be passed at home, etc. The gentle
man took the matter good-naturedly and
remarked: "Why, this is only my duster. I"
The lady recovered from her modification
sufficiently to attend the party.

There appeared in Saturdays argus an
anonymous communication rejecting with
great severity upon the skill, care and hu-

General Hospital. Satisfied of the falsity of
the charges, the Directors have requested

be "a well-known physician They are de-
termined to defend the Hospital against th Q
malicious attacks which have been made
upon it, and which are seriously inj urious to
its reputation, both with those for whose
benefit it was designed and those upon whom
it is obliged to depend for support. This
is most valuable and useful institution and
anv unfounded assaults which might tend to
lessen its usefulness will arouse both regret
and indignation in all right minded citizens.
The letter ofDr. Weeks is TO be taken as alb
solutely conclusive respecting the facts Of
which it treats. Its authors reputation for
personal probity and professional skill
and experience is too high to admit of the pos
sibility that he could make the error in prac-





degree misstate the facts in the case. He
has the supporting statements of Drs. Dan a

character, and the entire confidence of the
Directors of the Hospital 1t is safe
to assume that this assault will be thoroughly
investigated and the perpetrators of the mis-
chief be brought to punishment. The man
ayers of the Hospital owe this to themselves,
to the surgeons assailed and to the public
whom they serve in this important connection.
Anything rejecting upon the Hospital is of
too grave concern to be lightly treated and no
halfway measures will be satisfactory. We

Ter is his personal friend, and he shall vote

in the Pinchback contest as precedent for his
action. He claims that he is just as good
Republican as ever. Conover says he has
been sighted by the President. When it was
found necessary to remove the Pensacola
postmaster he named man for the place,
but the President preferred the candidate
selected by Jones, the Democratic Senator.

There's nothing like good, solid, alb

with appetite. But you can't, unless
you work. If you say you don't feel

Dick and Harry the story of your woes,
you'll lie awake and Keep your wife
awake by your tossing, spoil your tenn

times worse than you do to-day. There
are some great troubles that only time
can heal, and, perhaps, some that never
can be healed at all; but all can be
helped by the great panacea, work. Try
it, you who are afflicted. It is not
patent medicine. 1t has proved its eff
cheney since first Adam and Eve left be-
hind them, with weeping, the beautiful
Eden. 1t is an efficient remedy. All
good physicians in regular standing
prescribe it in cases of mental and
moral disease. 1t operates kindly as

and we assure you that we have taken
large quantity of it with most beneficial
results. 1t will cure more complaints

sicken you if you do not take it sugar
coated.
