CHRISTMAS cards are running the course
of valentines a generation ago, each year
growing costlier, and certain before many
years to run out in sheer _ public satiety.
It is a pity. The habit is pretty, albeit a
little troublesome, and :no pleasanter re
minder of absent love and past_acquain
tance has been devised than the Christ
mas card. The one misfortune in the
custom is the yearly advance in the upper
register of price: The cheapest are artis-
tically the best, and for the sound mert
cantile reason that there is more profit in
the sale of a five-cent card by the thou
sand than in selling one-dollar cords by
the dozen. Noe is there sound sentiment,
sound sense or the best manners 'in send
ing a thing of,expense to convey a matter
of
. compliment er carry a message of
affection. It is like slipping a bracelet In
to a- basket of Rowers, or a bunch of
violets into
: a jeweled holder. Men do
such things ; but it;iS always for a reason
and no good one. The Christmas card
should be like - a bow, eostlesa but careful.

INTERESTING EXERCISES AT
SAYRE.
Presentation of Mesiorial Medals by
the Arbor Aoloelatton.
At two o'clock last Saturday,-the chil
dren who assisted in planting the Garfield
Memorial Tree assembled at the school
house to listen to an address by the Pres
ident of the Society, the venerable Sidney
Hayden, Esq., and receive silver medals
for their participation 'in those exercises.
Professor Hutton, of Wuverly, was pres
ent by invitation to talk to the children,
and in the audience were many or their
friends with their parents. Mrs. H. W.
Thomas presided at the organ,. and. Mrs.
Lang, Miss Millie Mersereau, Mr. and
Mrs. Hovey, and others, assisted in ren
dering the "Star Spangled Banner" as
an introduction.
Mr. Hayden. then stated the cireutn
stances connedted with the planting of
the tree, and the desire of the• officers of
the Society , that each child might have
'sumo token to call to mind the impressive
4tie, and per,haps influence' their lives
forgood. , r • '\°
To this end heir names have been in
scribed upon parchment roll to be kept
with the Society's recoidi with the hope
eipre'ased that none there enrolled will
every cause the tear of shame to dim the
eyes of their friends.
Mr. Mayderi's address was full of patri
otic utterances, and in sympathetin lan
guage he related the scenes of, last' sum
mer, o. pressing 'unbounded approbation
of the course pursued by him whose re
mine now moulder to dust, 'while his no
ble aims and successes in life's struggle
are recorded in history for the encourage
ment of fneure generations. Referring

visa as to the Fathcrtif HieVtountry, the
*akar, drew pandlels, tietizig the wonder.
fel thaefleeemee the death' of our - ant
President. ..- _
His words to the ibildien were kind,
and give evidence of coming from a heart
interested -in their welfare. Such in brief
is the character of
"an address that should ,
have been - heard to be appieciated. At
the chew of his address, "Nearer •My
God to Thee" was sung, after which the
children came forwird at the call of Mr:
Hovey ii i iii Secretary of the Arbor Amicia:
tion, received from the heads of the
Presid nt a small envelope addressed to
.hem,._eath of which contained ' smallsil
ver medal Land a sheet of heavy paper
with these wordi upon its face : "Gar
field and Lincoln Medal." The next
page bore the names of tee officers of the
s
Maxi I tion, viz : Sidney Hayden, Presi
dent ;• Howard Elmer, R. A. Packer,
Thom , 'Paul, R. F. Goodman, H. , W.
Thomas and Hawley Tozer, Vice Presi
dents ;IR. M. Hovey, Secretary ; J. W.
Bishop Treasurer.
The neat page was bordered with black
enclosing the words of presentation, to
suit the amities performed. Tliiise for
the boys stating "for assistance in plant
ing ;" for the girls, " for gracefully deco
rating with flowers," , etc., the Garfield
Memorial Tree at Sayre, Monday, Sep
tember 28, 1881, and signed by the Presi
dent and Secretary. ,
The med.ls were struck at the United
States Mint, and on one side bore a like
nets of Lincoln, and on the other Gar
field's. We noted carefully the faces of
the children as they tame proudly for
ward and wondered if-any of them would
become citizens of National rotate. They
were - all of bright intelli g ent appearance,
and with such men for guardians of their
interests and education,"it is within the
iange of possibilities for the children of
Sayre to beOme citizens of high position,
May they become jewels of the Nation,
as they are now the "jewels o! Sayre,"
as stated by Mr. Haydenwhen he intro
duced Professor Hutton, of Waverly, to
talk to them.
Professor Hutton reviewed the early
histoiy of President Garfield, pointing
out - to the children his marked 'character
istics and urging them to emulate his vir
tues. The address, though directed to
the children, was, of special interest to
others, especially teachers, for new ideas
dropped by the wa;.
Professor Dreher, of Roanoke .College,
Salem, Virginia, being present, was call.
ed upon declined to make a speech, but
responded in a few well chosen woids of
plain English, • expressing sentiments of
lofty patriotism and pleasure at listening
to the exercises. He spoke of the 'recep
tion of the news of the assassination of
Garfield at the College. School was sua
pended'and appiOpriate services observed
and a mass meeting of the citizens of Sa
lem held iu the' afternoon at which but
one feeling, that of heartfelt sorrow, ap
peared.. The course of the AdminiStra
tion had given the people confidence, and
the study of the life of the Executive
head only Confiimed thole' belief that an
honest, patriotic man was; President,
heart - their sorrow: Although they were
looking forward to the National. celebra
tion at •Yorktown, and Watching the
course of Mr. Garfield with increasing in
terest, as the lines of Sectionaltsm vapidly
disappeared, the speaker thought , howev
erbrilliant might : have been his future
..othing.could have sweptaway all barri
riers so effectually as his calm suffering
and death has' dt ne. .
Speaking. of the Southern people, he
said that they would in less than. twenty
years rejoice at the way the struggle ter
minated, as they already in the dawn of a
bright future realize what an evil slavery
was, and see before them, prosperity un
heard of with its curse. His reference to
Lin - ea:Au was of the same tenor, and dur
ing his remarks patriotic responses of ap
plause were freely given. He amused the
children with apt anecdotes, . illustrating
the feelings of both sections a, few years
since.
President Dreher is a native of. South
Carolina, and • served his State in •the
Great Struggle. Sherman's March de
stroyed his property, and at, the close of
the war he worked his way thiough Col
lege. He has not labored in vain. He
received cordial greetings at the : close
of his remarks, the choir having sung a
closing selection. ' •
The men who have managed the inter
pits of Sayre are to be complimented
upon their success,• and may they contiti
neto lay the foundations of future gefier

and rade matters secure and then went
to bed. About 10 O'slock an alarm was
given and the store was found to be on
