CHRISTMAS CHEER." ,
At Christmas play ami make good cheer, j
For Christmas comes but once a year. !
—Tusser. :
Be merry all. bo merry all!
With holly dress the festive hali;
Prepare the song, the feast, the ball
To welcome merry Christmas.
—W. R. Spencer.
It Is the Christmas time:
And up and down 'twixt heaven and
earth.
In the glorious grief and solemn mirth, '
The shining angels climb.
-D. M. Mulock.
The time draws near the birth of Christ: t
The moon is hid; the night is still;
The ChristmaH bolls from hill to hill
Answer each other In the mist.
—Tennyson, j
Heap on more wood! the wind Is dull, I
But let It whistle as It will
We'll keep one Christmas merry still.
—Sir Walter Scott.
This is the time when the very old man
Leaps back to the days of youth; ,
When brows and eyes wear no disguise, |
But flush and gleam with truth.
©h, then is the time when the soul exults
And seems right heavenward turning;
"When we love and bless the hand we
press,
When the Christinas log is burning!
—Cook.
We speak of a merry Christmas
And many a happy New Year,
But each in his heart Is thinking
Of those that are not here.
—Longfellow.
They who do their souls no wrong.
But keep at eve the faith of morn,
Shall dally hear the angel song.
"Today the Prince of Peace is horn!"
—James liussell Lowell.
CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY.
How the Soliller Hoys Celebrnted
During; the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George 13. McClellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1861, to Mnrcb, 1863, and most of it in
Virginia as far down tbo Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge
and as far ont toward General Beaure
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munsou's hill. Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers.
That year there was a Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
fiame3 of tho large cities had come the
best in tho market. From tens of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre
pare.
On Christmas, 1868, tho army was
shivering along tbo rivers Bappahau
aock and Bapidan, and as far out as Cul
peper Court House. It was too cold, aud
the men were too poorly housed to en
jay the day. It was not a holiday to
many—a day of misery, instead. That
was the coldest Christmas the south
had seen for 50 years, and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order of ,
tbo day in 1864. The army was strung j
along behind fortifications from Bicb
luond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, a distance of nearly 1
40 miles. The sanitary aud Christian '
commissions had arranged to supply the i
army with a Christmas dinner. Few i
men were overlooked. Except that in •
1861, it was the happiest Christmas for |
the Union army since the trouhlo began. ,
There were many signs that tho next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
aud so it was by all who escaped the 1
hot times from March 39 to the eveniug 1
of April 9, alter Grant aud Lee met at
Appomattox.—Milwaukee Sentinel. i
ClirlMtmua Table Decoration.
A very pretty decoration for the table
at the Christmas dinner is a tiny Christ- '
mas tree. Candied frnits and gilded 1
and silvered walnuts mako it bright 1
and seasonable, while a little frosting
with the powder that comes for tho pur- •
pose makes it a beautiful object under ]
the glitter of the lights. The tree will
he trimmed aud prepared for you by ,
any florist and should be planted iu a
fancy low vase or dish. The picturosqne
dwarf evergreens that come from Japan '
are most effective when used iu this
way, aud yet they are such costly treas
ures that few who own them are will- ;
ing to make table decoratious of them.
—Philadelphia Lodger. (
Adorning the Christ iun> Tret-.
The foliago of a Christinas tree may
be brushed hero and there with muci
lage and then sprinkled with common :
alt and a very pleasing result is ob
tained. A pretty drapery for the tree is
made by cutting long strips, about four
Inches wide, of tissue paper, then cut
ting it closely, partly, but not entirely,
across the widths, niakiug fringes. If
the strips be dampened and held over a
hot stove, the fringed edges will curl
and look quito ornamental.—Omaha i
Bee.
"Where Toys Are Mudc.
The greatest toy producing districts
aro tho Tliuringia mountains, sometimes
called the Tliuringia forests; the an- .
cient city of Nuremberg, in Bavaria,
and the region of tho Erzgeberg moun
tains. The most interesting of these lo
calities is the Tliuringia mountain dis
trict. Situated in upper Saxony, its
time and industry are entirely givou up
to the pioductiou of playthings in pa
pier mache, china, glass, wool, wood
and far.—Baltimore Herald.
A Cliriitma. I"vr Idyl.
The hour was late; the lignts burned low,
The Are but half dispelled the gloom;
A youth and maid, with cheeks aglow,
Sat silent In the room.
i"Twas Christmas eve, and half In Jest
They would not say good night, because
They'd vowed to watch and do their best
To see old Santa Claus. <
,Elow ticked the clock; they said no word;
The solemn midnight hour drew near,
KAnd still no telltale sound was heard
Of Santa coming near.
Twelve struck; and then, all suddenly,
A guest came In. surprised the pair;
ijt was not Santa Claus, not he,
But Cupid that stood there!

The Story of a Man who was Stricken.
Fi'om the Free Prest, Detroit, Mich.
"You talk about ball playing," said
Charlea W. Churchill, of (10 Miami Ave.,
Detroit, the well known traveling salesman,
who sells computing scales throughout Michi
gan, 11 1 will never forget the experience I
had while playing this game two years ago.
" Like all young men I played ball, in fact
during mv college days I was quite a hall
player. 1 had all the qualifications to be a pro
fessional pluyer, hut instead, secured a place
as a traveling salesman.
"Two years ago while spending a day in a
small junction town in this State, some of us
traveling men went in the suburbs to see a
scrub ball game.
" Well, to make the story short I got into
the game in less than live minutes and was
doing more talking and running than 1 had
for years.
"1 became all warmed up and had my
coat, vest and hat oil'. Every time I made a
circuit of the bases I would lay down on the
ground and try to cool oil*.
"This was a dangerous thing to do in my
heated state, and the next morning I could
scarcely walk. The physician that was called,
said 1 had rheumatism. I was taken home on
a cot.
"For nine weeks I stayed in my room and
for seven of those weeks I was on my back
in the hod.
"The day I played that game I weighed
148 pounds, and when I commenced to he well 1
enough to he out again, 1 only weighed lid I
pounds. I

OLD DINGER FINGERS.
The New York Sun prints the fol
lowing amusing article concerning the
battle of Gettysbujg:
'•The artilleiy fire at Gettysburg,"
said a gunner of the old war, "was
simply magnificent. I was in an
Ohio battery, posted on Cemetery
Hill. We were running short of am
munition, when Gen. Meade, dismiss
ing his staff below, rode with a single
orderly to our exposed position. The
boys were all at white heat and in a
state of frenzy, because the ammuni
tion called for had not come. They
heard the quiet man on horseback say
repeatedly to the Captain that the hill
must be held at ail hazards, ammuni
tion or no ammunition. This vexed
them, but they knew that the officer,
whoever he was, spoke the truth, and
they began to collect the unexploded
shells that had been fired at them
from the Confederate batteries.
"There were a great many of these
scattered over our part of the hill, and
when Gen. * Meade comprehended
what the boys were doing he was
greatly pleased. He dismounted, and
in a quiet sort of a way proieeded to
supervise the collection of shells. He
was in fatigue dress and wore no
shoulder straps, and none of the men
recognized him. They thought he was
some ordinance officer, and finally,
when he turned his horse over to his
orderly and proceeded to carry shells
himself, they did not resent his super
vision. As a rule the shells were
heavier than the General expected,
and he did not compare with the stal
wart artillerymen rushing about with
the recklessness and energy of mad
men.
"John Snicker was one of trie best
men in the battery, but was rough in
speech and action. Seeing, as he sup
posed, a Lieutenant or Captain fruin
the outside stooping to pick up a shell
he pushed the officer aside with the
remark: 'Get out of this, old Ginger
Fingers! Your mind's willin', but
your body's weak, and you are in the
way.' Meade, surprised and amused,
stood aside. A few minutes later
Gen. Warren and staff rode up for a
conference with Meade, and the cat
was out of the bag.
"Snicker was so overwhelmed with
confusion that he almost had a fit.
The Sergeant tried to comfort him
with the assurance that Gen. Meade
would excuse informality under such
circumstances, but John insisted that
what scared him was that he never
came so near kicking a man in his life
without doing it as he did Gen. Meade
when he stooped to pick up the shell.
He was grieved to think he hadn't
recognized Meade, and was in a panic
whenever he thought about what might
have happened had he acted on the
impulse and kicked the General com
manding the army."
"No, indeed; Eveyln would not
marry a man for his money."
"If I couldn't get his money while
we were engaged," she exclaimed,
earnestly, " I'd let it go!"
And yet the world, tenacious of
its fond delusions, insists that women
are sometimes mercenary.—Detroit

" I took nearly everything that has ever
hern prescribed for rheumatism, and had
the heal of medical attendance but was not
benefited much. I was told that I would
probably he crippled for years.
" I had about given up all hopes of ever
being able to go on the road again, when I
read an article in my paper about a case of
rheumatism almost identical with my own
tlint had been cured by Dr Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People.
"1 decided to try the pills and bought two
boxes of them. They gave me some relief
mid 1 bought Bix more boxes. I soon gained
strength and flesh every day and continued
using the pills until I was entirely free from
uil pain.
"That is why I reepmmend Dr Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People to those suffering
from rheumatism." 0. W. Churchii.i,
This is to certify that Mi. C W Churchill,
