The blessed and joyful season of Christmas is almost at hand again and already on every side prepara tions for its observance are going on- There is a lifetime of sweet emotion in this getting ready for the blisstul event. The kind and loving parents will lug their secret treasures for the chil dren in at the back door and late in the evening so that they can ovei whelm them with joy on Christmas eve. The prosy father will grow sen timental and foci some of the rosy e motions of the child ; stern parents will relent and decide to do what they had huskily refused ; practical men and women will feel the influence of the season and slighly surprise and earn the gratitude of those to whom they have not been accustomed to be over-kind. And the surprises, oh,such surprises, as will he gone over and over again during the intervening time. What they will say when they present this or that to such and such a dear one, and what the recipient will do and say. All these will be gone over in imagination in the next few weeks, though the reality will he so different from the plan. The speech will fail when the hour comes and the heart will choke from the happiness which fills it. There is no time in the year which presents the mystery and mirth of this pleasant period. The Christmas season is auspicious fordoing kindly acts, which will de light the hearts of the little folks as well as older people. The pleasant custom of giving Christmas presents is now universally observed and many are carefully scanning the stock of Holiday goods, which is temptingly displayed in the stores. Be the gift simple or expensive let it be forthcoming. Ye who have it in your power, celebrate with gifts our hallowed Christmas, and after having provided for a pleasant treat to your families, do not forget the poor, who may be shut out from the delights of the festive season. Do your Christian duty to them and show them that the Holiday joys are for all. CHRIST, the anniversary of whose birth wo expect to celebrate, from to-day two weeks, was born for ALL, and we should look to it that the joy and happiness of the commemoration may come to all.

WASHINGTON LETTER. F om our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C\, Dec. 8.1884. Although 135 members of the present Congress were lelegated to private life in the late election, the" came up smil ing as usual last Monday, and really seemed pleased at the prospect of get ting rid of the thankless work of a Con gressman, who has never a moment's time that he may call his owt>. I might say. however, that there were a few ex ceptions to the number who sought to put themselves in a happy frame of mind, among whom were the two buff oons of the House, llorr, of Michigan, and Beltord, of Colorado, whose aul ios on the floor have disgusted their con stituents enough to completely secure a permanent backset. The humor that used to bring down the House when Prentiss and Randolph were members, was of a sort that never detracted from the dignity of the body, and it, is to the credit of our American Parliament that we have had so few members who have possessed the affection ot any kind of humor. The frequent sallies of wit that came from Mr. Cox,of New York, in ilie way of repartee, have won for him deserved recognition as a true hu morist without derogating an iota from his ability as a statesman. Well, we have twenty-four thousand soldiers ill the United States Army,and the Secretary of War wants almost twenty-seven niil'ion dollars to support tliein for a single year! Is not this rather an expensive family for so small a one ? Let us see. This would make the cost for the maintenance of each soldier for a year one thousand one hun dred and twenty-live dollars, although we pay him but thirteen dollars per month and teed him on hard-tack and sow-belly. Oae of the first tilings that a Retorin Democratic Congress should do, is already embraced in a bill to wipe out these sinecure military establish ments, and stop the payment of seven teen thousand dollars per year to a satrap whose duties can as well be per formed by a subaltern. PHONO. FIERCE WINTER WINDS. A Clyclone that Knocked Tilings in Chester. CHESTER, Dec. 7. —The most terrific storm that has visited Chester for a long time swept over the city oil Sat ur eal evening. The wind blew a fright ful gale and torrents of rain descended. The storm continued all the evening, but it was most severe about 9:30 o'- clock when a cyclone of considerable magnitude swept over the 'owvr part of the city and could be beard for two or three minutes. Its course was from southwest to northeast and destroyed considerable property. From twenty to twenty-five houses ill the South ward were unroofed and tlie walls of three of them were blown in. A man named Zimmer occupied one of them and lie and his wife and ba by were >n bed. They were covered with bricks and mortar and their es cape from serious injury is marvelous. Awning posts were twisted and b oken like pipe stems, bay windows were blown out, shutters were wrenched from their hinges and cairied long dis tances up the streets and the scene was a frightful one. Fortunately few peo ple were upon the streets or the loss of life would have been considerable. There were torn from tiie ground sign boards and boxes and barrels were pick ed up and carried in the air. The loss at this time cannot he esti mated. At least one hundred and fifty buildings have either been wholly or partly unroofed or damaged in some way by the storm. LONG ISLAND CITY, L. 1., Dee. 7 The storm which swept ever Long Is land last night was one of the fiercest tyer known. Barns, fences, outhouses and huge trees were blown down and til my places Were temporarily flooded by the rain. At Flushing a large new brick building nearly com pie'ed, in tended for a steel rail factory,and own ed by parties from New Jersey, was blown down,the damage being estimat ed at SI0,0(10. The telegraphing has been interfered with all day.many wires being grounded and poles blown down. No reports have been received from the coast villages and it is not known whether or not any vessels haye suffer ed. Some Points for Gunners. As the gunning season has arrived, a few words of advice to those contem plating engaging in that sport may not be amiss. In the first place, provide yourselves with a good double-barreled gun,or if possible, get a cast iron one. The latter is preferable, as they fre quently shoot both ways, thus increas ing the chance of killing something. Next get some dogs, the more the bet ter. Any kind will do from a long-ear ed hound to a bobtailed terrier ; you al so want some powder, shot and soforth. Don't forget the soforth, as it will im prove the eyesight, often causing you to see double game. Use piper wads, as you then will be more likely to set fire to somebody's woods. After hav ing decided what direct ion to go.keep a slia< p lookout for ihe familiar sign , t4 No Tusspassiug Allowed." That's the place to look for game, and that's why the notice is pul up. B# ore going over the fence, pick out a spot where the top rail curves dowuw.ud in the middle, and jet over in that part icular spot. Tii3 rail will probably b eak,but that don't make any differeuce.as there are plenty more growing in the woods. It will save the owner the trouble of letting down bis fence to get bis cows out. Always carry your gun cocked when getting over the fence. If you should happen on a trap belonging to some small boy .take out the rabbit and break the trap ; the boy will like It. If your dogs should run a rabbit in a stone wall or wood pile, pull down the wall ! and scatter the wood the owner won't care. If a farmer's little boy should shoot one of your rabbits, take it from him. Should ihe rabbit take refuge under a barn, tear off the lightning red and punch liiin out. — Ex.

There are two stiel en gravings, each a gem in its way : 4 The R ig-Baliy," after the celebrated tier man artist. Kuans; and "A Hud A tuoiig Blossoms," after the hardly less celebrated Carl Schon. Next, there is a colored pattern for a curtain-holder, etc., etc.. a most exquisite and costlv affair; at retail it would certainly cost fifty cents. The double-sized fasliion plate. printed from steel, and colored by hand, is also a miracle of beauty.
