Somehow the brave, cheery boy, and the equally bright and brave sister, made the homely room seem almost radiant, and the sad-eyed father and patient mother sat down to the frugal •meal with i a-Christmas carol of thankfulness in their heaztsior the neace that was theirs in the £ift<ef f thmr'Hot>le*hearted children. True, th# jrere poor and in sore tro ible, brat the trouble came not nigh them in the same manner that it had come to some of their neighbors. They had not ungrateful, rebellious children to wring their heatts with nuguish. And they chose to praise God for the blessings He had given them, rather thau to repine for what He hod denied them. " We must lose the cottage, Mildred," Mr. Minturn said to his wifs when alone With her, " but we must not lose our 'rust in God. Let us sing a hymn of praise. Our home will be sold next week, but we can celebrate our last Christmas in the dear old place with a pleneatit sound of carols, can't we 7" When Rosamond went from her grand father she sought her own room to put by her little treasure. "A love-gift to the Lord of Christmas," she repeated to herself. " That is beau tiful—but,-I have no such gift. None of mine are meant for huu. I never think such good and holy thoughts of myself."

The dear pr.ual puj words came to her mind—"a love-gifl ' to the Lord of Christmas"—and sin whispered, as slic kissed the old mau's silvery locks. " Dear Grandpa, we wil, m>t buy the piano.

" Ro*e of the world," raid Grandpa, softly, " it is because of the love-gift." And the Christmas Carols chimed lov ingly all the dreamful night, not ouly in the hearts of the dwellers in the abode of plentv, but in the grateful hearta of those who sang carol* while yet in dark nets, and to whom the Lord of Christmas had sent his servant with a promise of help for their time of trouble.

A singular change has come of late over the face of 9pring—which would be an old remark at this wintry, shivery time of the year if I meant the season in stead of my dog. I hare been a long while absent from the old house, and up-, ou ray return, this evening, the Iwisk brown tail that unco gyrated in such a spasm of glad welcome, wagged a moat feeble greeting. The dog bounded not as of yore to my very shoulder, nor wheel ed about me in ecstatic circles. Thorrf was a welcoming wriggle still, but not the old, a'wndonod, unkempt fury. But as the dear fellow sits yonder neat the andirons, there is a tender look in his dark eye that tells me. quite as well a* the former agony of joy, that his cup ! lunneth over with Use happiness of mj [coming back. His front is to the fire. , hut his small, fine head is cocked on one , side, while be watches me with full eon tent. And as I looked into that frank | face of his, every liue of which is as fa miliar to me as my own, I notice the - change of which I spoke. The hair upon his forehead is turning white, two lines of gray run down even Ito the pqiDt of the nose, and there is a look of age about his feature* -about hia whole bearing indeed—that I never no ticed before. When one comes to think of it—as terriers go. Spring is an old dog. Many a summer haa shed its leaves ■cure' we laid hia mother in her narrow tomb—a queer little African circus-dog, she— about half Spring's size, and with bide as bare and smooth as an eiepliant'n, save for the half-dozen gray hairs that stood erect on her head, imparting au air of wise and sprightly vmeralilenera —and the scrimpy tuft at the end of her tail. Aud Spring's companions have likewise fallen away from bim, one by one, leav ing him to' his solitary path and fireside —solitary save for human sympathy and cheer. Zoo was the last to go—that genial animal, the tradition of whose ear ly corpulence still in thin old ago hnng about bisrlimnken sides.rendering every movement replete with dignified un wieldinea*. The strangest part of this change in Spring i* the old-joung look. He seems like a boy with his grandfather's specßi clea and* wig. I cannot reconcile the gray hairs and weary movements with tho atmosphere of youth that remains. His young soul surely is masquerading iu this ancient guise. But I can see through the domino, my dog ! You may not know that you are wearing any—-you wonder, I think, at the unwonted film over the clear vision, at the invisible bands that bind those lithe; and willing limlis. What have tho mutations of time, the chemic laws, to do with the seula of us ? " He who lovea is in no oondition old. " Spring, my dear fellow, do you love your master ? There, there ! that will do, yon rascal, —Down, I say ! Down ! DBAISISO LAUDS.— Henry Taylor, an English farmer, who had drained many thousand acres of land, gave his view to the Farmers' Club on this subject. Draining should be deep, four feet at least; deeper would le better. On heavy lands, 20 feet apart would be prop er; on lighter lands 66 feet might do. Draining lands infested with Couch grass would rid them of that weed in two years. The soil should not bo returned into the ditch in a wet state, or the drains would not act; the earth would consolidate, and he had known two years to elaspse before any benefit assured ; while if the earth was dry wbeu replnoCQ the drains would-act at once. Tiles should be large enough to carry off water with facility. If full, the flosv was retarded. The cost of draining in' England was from 825 to 840 per acre.

The very snails that take refuge in ita cmuaies leave an enduring mark of their presence in a eurfaee fretted with their acid exha lation#, which vvrr often juts# current j among geologist# for theboriug* of phe lades, and are the innocent oaose of j much spi-culution a# to the dcprnaeion of the mountain-tops beneath the *ea in compaiwtivetv molcrn times. The car bonic acid taken up >T 'he raiu i* de rived in the main from the decomposing ; vegetable matter which cr neridljr form* the (surface seal on the limestone. It*' , elTceta are to lie ntn in a moat marked , .li'iorne ia the bare, grey tnamc* of rock fetmed " paverocnta," that stands nut !ik rofhet *sou/ainrr# from the pmrple > •heather, and are worn and floored into 'the rtmugost possible shapes Some- ' times the surface is made up of a uura-1 licr. of sharp p. aula th;U look like a abehf j |pf sword-I'iades ; at other* are ravine# . ami cwvwa ih Wii(nature ; nod vory geoor- I ally the strata are divided into aseriea of large aDgnlar blocks, which work with the greatest freedom. The minute foa- tbi shell* and frugniontaQf remold* stand : ing out in bold relief testify that thy agent which removed so tunch rock is , chemical, not mechanical. This invisi llc agent is equally at work in the caves as well a* above proond, everywhere at tacking the surface, Cven out of tench of the streams. The endless varieties of stalartibn and ulnlagmitc arc merely so much solid matter taken by it out of the rock, and re-deposited where the excess of enrlionio acid in the water happens to lie taken up by a free current of air. To it, then, as well as to the mechanical power of the stream, the formation and enlarge ment of caves must be assigned. A Sleepless Secretarr. The following is told of Sir Evan Xe p'-tn, formerly under Secretary of State of Great BriUuu ; // One Mimravr Bight he was affected j until an unaccountable sleeplessness, tNid, bffnfc quite weary of lyiag awake, j I he pot up, dressed, and went out at three I o'clock, A.

The feeling was so j strong upon him, that he caliou up the chief clerk ih Downing street, who said he kid-sent it to the clerk of the crown, whose business it waa to forward it to York. " Bnt have you the receipt and certi fkate that it i gone ?" " Xo." "Then let na go at once to hia house in Chauccnr Lane." They li<Tao, and found him stepping into hts gig for a holidny. He ban for gotten the reprieve, and left it locked up in hia <tok*. The fleetest express pro curable was dispatched, and reached York just as the condemned man waa en tering the cart. Kisw Ys. AII'S Eva n IRKLAND.— Carl ton, one who knew the Irish peasants better than almost any one, describes the manner in which New Year's Eve is oclebrated in the "Ould Conntry." " Hare, in a snug barn, some old Mile sians are dancing in the New Yoar in their own light hearted way. Phciim, the merriest boy of them all, is trying to dance dowu Norab. Ould Barney, who haa Weu n ' dark' these ten years, is scratching sway his liveliest jigs for the glory and honor of the occasion ; being cheered up at intcrvids with eggshells full of the finest • potheen ' to bo found south of Innishowcn. While dancing goes on in one part of the barn, in an other, tlie ohler parties arc seated, grljo are enjoyingJlipraaelves with a pleasant game of cards, a glass or two of the right stuff, and their pipes." Oft dur ing the opening, midst the fun and pleasantry prevailing, can l>e henrdi a iaerrv voice exclaiming these cheetml words, " Erin go Bragh." The Probate Conrt of Cincinnati haa just decided that an attorney cannot re ceive compensation for partial or unfin ished services; that he must go through with a case onee undertaken, or surren der all pecuniary claims against his client. Also, that he cannot, without the consent, of the client, transfer to another attor ney a case intrusted to him. (JJttfJUl hTATK.H (OX.IULSA. IN THE aaw*m.

These views, to gether with the report of the Commis sioners, are submitted for your careful consideaation. aa to whether further leg islation may be nocessnrr in order to carry not an effective and beneficial civil service reform. If left to me, without further action of Congress, the rules pre sort lied by the Commission, under the reservation already mentioned, wWI lie faithfully executed; but they are not binding on my successors without fur ther legislation. I aalfr-tyr all the strength w hiohf Con gress can give me to WE able me to carry ont the reforms in thn fSvil Service re commended by the Commissioners ami adopted, to take effect, as before Minted, on Jan. 1,1872. The law which provides for tha convening of a Commission to devise nrtet ami regulation* 6>r refonn ing the Civil Service, authorizes, I think, the permnnint organization of a primary board under whose general directions all examinations of applicants for pnblic office ahull lie conducted. There is no appropriation to eontinnr such a board beyond the termination of its present labors. I therefore recommend that a proper appropriation lie made to con tinue the servieea of the present Board for another year; and, in view of the fact that threo members of the Board hold positions in the public service, which precludes them from receiving ex tra compensation under existing lnws, that they lie authorized to reeehe a fair compensation for extra service rendered by them in (he performance of this duty. ■ D.

The Missouri flow through the Sropoaad territory, find the North Paoi c Railroad will cross it. Before forni iug r territorial government, however, there ought to be Homebody to be govern ed. With the exception of soldiers, Indian tradeis, and few net tiers in Chippewa, Steven*, and Bhyenne conn trie*, there are no inhabitant* but In dians, in tho northern half of Dekota. On account of the hostility of the In dian*, the comparative poverty of the soil, and the detestablo water, years will probably elapse before any important settlement is formed. The erection of a territorial government, is, nnder the cir cumstances, quite unnecessary. Saj> ( ark. —Mr. C.
