| CHRISTMAS UNCLES,
“I'm sick of it! It's Uncle Cyrus!
dear Uncle Cyrus, here, there, and every-
where! Hub! Mighty little they care
for Uncle Cyrus. They think he’s go-
ing to get a fortune, and they're cod-
dling him up to get the benefit of it.”
And with a very much disgusted look
on his expressive face, Chip Darcey
walked down the village street from the
residence of his Uncle Morse, which
had been his home since he became an
orphan, some years previous.
‘I'he Morses never had been to Chip’s
liking. They were less so than ever
just now. They had mad: a drudge
and a slave of him, and now, at the holi-
day season, all he had received to cele-
beans on was a solitary quarter of a dol-
ar.
True, they had given him his board
and lodging, but he knew that he
could earn that and a few dollars extra
almost anywhere in the village. He
wus seriously thinking of celebrating
the approaching change ot year with a
chaiige of employers as he proceeded to-
ward the principal business street of the
village.
The situation of affairs that called
forth Chip’s dissatisfied soliloquy was as
follows: :
The Morses had two old uncles, liv-
ing one at each end of the village.
Uncle Cyrus was a selfish, tyrannical
man, and nobody liked him. He was
shrewd, too, and it was generally known
that a relative in Chicago, a Colonel
Littleton, when he died, intended to
leaveall his enormous fortune to Cyrus.
Cyrus lived on this expectation, and
the Morses hoped by treating him well
“to some day share his wealth.
Uncle David lived alone, and was
poor and obscure. He, too, was closely
reiated to Colonel Littleton, the city
millionaire; but no one supposed for a
moment that the quiet, unassuming
David had any chance of heirship, for he
never bragged ot it, as did Uncle Cyrus.
The Morses treated Uncle David very
indifferently, but Chip liked him. He
was wont to make him kites, boats and
sleds, and as Chip thought of him, he
went straight to the nearest store, and
with a grimace, setting aside his own
longings for a certain ball he had in-
tended to treat himself to, he expended
his entire twenty-five cents for a rough
but durable pocket-knife, and then
started for Uncle David’s humble home.
“Come in!” spoke a cheery voice,
and Uncle David hastily secreted a 1et-
ter he had been reading, and seemed
much confused and excited.
“You, eh, Chip? Well, how's the
folks?”
“Mean as ever!” blurted out impetu-
ous Chip.
“Tut, tut, lad!”
“Yes, they are. You know Colonel
Littleton is dead, and Uncle Cyrus is
just strutting around, waiting to get a
letter telling him he’s the heir, and the
Morses can’t do enough for him. They
are giving him a big Christmas-eve din-
ner to-night. You invited ?”
“Ha, hum. I reckon not.”
“You bet not! You're too poor, you
are. They're stuck up noodles, and I
like you, Uncle David, and Um going
to leave them and come here and live
with you. I'm sick of them. Say,
there’s your Christmas present. If I
had more money I'd buy you a watch.”
“Beau-tiful! beau-tiful |” chirped
Uncle David. “Just the knife I want-
ed.” And the old man went into ec-
stasies over the simple gift.
“Say, lad,” he remarked, as Chip
left the house later, “I'll be down to
see the folks about your coming to live
with me.”
“Yes, do; I'm tired slaving for
them,” responded Chip.
Tired, too, was he of the cumber-
some meal to which he was invited.
Uncle Cyrus, in high expectation of the
Littleton fortune, was more boastful
and domineering than ever.
Half-way through dinner, there came
a ring at the door-bell. Then a servant
entered the room.
“Gentleman with a letter, which he
says he wishes to see Mr. Cyrus about,”
said the servant.
“Ah!” chuckled Cyrus, swelling out
witn pride, “a lawyer to notify me forra-
ally that Colorel Littleton has left me
his enormous fortune, doubtless! Show
him in! show him.in! Hello !it’s only
you ?”
Uncle Cyrus scowled dreadfully.
“Yes, it’s only me!” replied humble
Uncle David. “Mr. Morse, you often
said the lad Chip was a burden to you.
I’ve come to take him away.”
“That suits me!”
“And, Cousin Cyrus, I got a letter
this morning.”
“Aha!”
“From Colonel Littleton’s lawyer.”
“I expected one, too
‘It surprised me.”
“Kxpected a fortune, Kh?
vou get a fortune !”’
“Which I did.”
“What!”
“Yes; Colonel Littleton has left me
all his wealth.”
There was mourning at the Morse
house that night. Uncle Cyrus, a de-
posed monarch, sneaked home. They
had coddled the wrong heir.
As to simple, honest Uncle David, he
made them all a handsome present; but
he adopted to share his wealth the boy
who expected nothing, and who made
him his only Christmas gift except the
Littleton fortune.
No, no;
A Terrible Storm mn Westmoreland
County.
Prrrssura, Dre. 11.—The most de-
structive wind and rain storm that has
ever visited the Western portion of
Westmorland County, passed over the
new city of Janette about 2 o’clock this
morning. Houses were blown down
and unroofed, and trees torn up by the
roots und carried a long distunce. Two
large three story frame buildings, owned
by Messers.Cort and Sullivan, on Clay
avenue, were completely demolished,
and smaller bulidings owned by Wm.
Wilson was blown down and reduced to
splinters,
A number of dwellings were moved
from their foundations, and in some in-
stances badly damaged. The loss will
be at least $10,000.
Jokers,
The presentation of Christmas gifts in
Norway is the chief diversion of the sea-
son, and in this many strange customs
are observed. Thus, in some districts
the giftis hid in a truss of hay or straw, |
or sometimes is placed in a bag of chaff.
The donator then watches his opportun-
ity, and slyly fixes the truss of hay
above the door of his friend's room.
‘When the lattercnters, the hay falls up-
on him, to the great enjoyment of the
kindly conspirators, who are probably
watching «lose at hand. Then ensues
an eager and exciting search. The truss
is ripped open, hands thrust in, and out
through the straw or hay till the #ift is
found, at which moment the donators
generally disclose their presence by
shouts of delight, and the expression of
good wishes for the season and the year
to come. The bag of chaff is also a
source of endless and innocent amuse-
ment. In its fall from the top of the
door it covers the receiver with a cloud
of dust, and small particles that adhere
to his beard and enter the fur of his
coat, make him feel as uncomfortable
and look as ridiculous as can well be de-
sired by most ardent promoters of practi-
cal jokes. But as he opens his eyes he
at once notices lying in the mess around
him a welcome present which has been
secreted in the chaff. It may well be
imagined with what delight children
join the rough play, and how it mater-
ially assist to pass the long winter sea-
son.
A Frightful Calamity at Johnstown.
Ten Persons Lost Their Lives at the
Opera House and Many Injured.
JoHNsTOWN, Dec. 10.—During a
performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin at
the Opera House here to-night, a ery of
fire was raised, resulting in a terrible
rush down the narrow stairs. Ten per-
sons were instantly killed and many ter-
ribly injured. The names of all the
killed and wounded cannot be ascertain-
ed at present. Among the killed are
Mrs. Nester and George Fischhorn,
the latter being a resident of Baltimore.

An ugly complexion made Nellie a fright,
Her face was all pimply and red,
Though her features were good, and her
eves were bright, ;
“What a plain girl is Nellie !” they said.
But now, as by magie, plain Nellie has grown
As fair as an artist's bright dream ;
Her face is as sweet as a flower new-blown,
Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.
As Nellie walks out in the fair morning light
Her beauty attracts every eye, ;
And as for the people who called her a fright,
“Why, Nellie is handsome ;” they cry.
And the reason of the change is that

gine standing near before the dead and
wounded could be taken out. People
rushed from outside up the narrow
stairs and were crushed by the crowd
forcing its way to the street. In all |
seventy-five persons were injured.
There were five or six hundied men,
women and children in the hall, and to
gain the stairs it was necessary to pass
own a narrow walled-up staircase and |
hrough a very narrow door. The
people from the street rushed into the
door from the outside and many were
crushed betore they could be forced
out. The following persons were
found dead upon the stairs: Miss Clara |
Burns, Mrs. Nester, George Horner,
Charles Faint, John Carr, Mrs. Lis-

Chaperon will conduct each tour in both
directions, and all the details of the
tours will be carried out in that superior
style for which these trips have become
celebrated.
Excursion tickets, including railway
