OUR DAILY BREAD.
These words in careless moods I read,
In careless mood I turned away ;
But still in every thought and deed,
Through every moment of the day,
There rang these words that I had read :
"Give us this day our daily bread.".
I
Give us, O Father! we are poor;
Our strongest efforts naught avail :
We know by sad and weary toil
That Thy strength only can prevail.
We bring no gold, but cry instead,
"Give us this day otir daily bread."
Xot food for others, Lord, we ask,
To-day our thoughts are bent within ;
We hungry ire, and at Thy throne,
Repentant for each bitter sin,
Ueliold we pray as thou hast said,
"Give us this day our daily bread."
Our yesterdays, or sad or bright,
Are passed foreverniore away,
To-morrow in Thy hand we leave;
Hut with an aching heart we pray,
Because we hunger to be lui,
"Give us this day our daily bread."
We cannot live on future food,
The bread of yesterday is past:
We need new strength each hour we live>
And so to Thee v»"c come at iasl,
And ask that we this day be fed
With helpful, needful, daily bread.
The way is rough ; our strength doth fail;
We need Thy food to make its strong ;
For bread of Heaven to hungry hearts
We earnestly desire and long.
Thy children guide as Thou hast said,
And give us, Lord, our daily bread.
Ted's Account of New Year's
'By the way,' said Mr. Samuel Gloss,
I've a letter from little Ted; its quite
a heavy one, you see, for a chap of ten;
but I can't make out such a scrwl.
Here, mamma, you read it.'
Before Mrs. Gloss could reach out
her band Uncle Joe, Mr. Gloss' bache
lor. brother, interfered with, "let me
have the boy's letter; I always did like
that young scamp of yours.'
After smiliug at the down-hill tend
ency of the superscription, Uncle Joe
soon became absorbed over the pages
that began in text-hand, continued in
spider tracks, and at last rose to the
dignity of hieroglyphics.
The Gloss family, tired out after the
holiday season, were having a domes
tic evening in the dining room. The
library, artistically hung in old Spanish
leather, lacked the embellishments that
grow out of daily use, and oppressed
one like a great bronze extinguisher;
the long drawing room, the conven
tional New York parlor, was too like a
mammoth and splendid hearse toadmit
or even its proprietors feeling at home
in it. So about the dining table were
gathered Papa and Mamma Gloss, the
Misses Lou and Rosie (Bos, Mr. Sor
ghum, a gentleman of many smiles and
compliments, of many suits of fine
clothing, of a dog cart, and gorgeous
living generally, and Uncle Joe, un
married, crusty and rich. There wus
also young fellowcalled Fred Tremaine,
but he was only a chap in papa's office
at a small salary, though he had six
feet of uncommonly good looks; still
he was very modest. 'And no won
dor,' as Lou whispered to Rosie, 'he
ought to he. Twelve hundred a year,
indeed.'
Sorghum remarked in his sweptest
tones, 'how seldom a poor dog of a
bachelor like me has the chance of en
joying a happy family gathering,'
A sigh, carefully given out for only
Rosie to hear, was a graceful hint of
his dissatisfaction with a bachelor's
existence.
Mamma Gloss clasped her plump
hands in a little ectasy, and answered:
'No one can have any idea of the peace
and contentment of family life.' A
smile both maternal and encouraging
showed that Mr. Sorghum was an ap
proved candidate for the position of
son-in-law.
Lou, who was clever, and had a lofty
bearing, a marble white skin, and won
derful rows of coal black scallops on
her pretty forhead, made a properly in
nocent and girlish comment on the
bachelor's remark; hut Rosie, who was
a confiding blonde with big gray eyes,
said nothing, and kept on with her
crochet work. Sorghum used inward
ly a warm emollient of Wall street in
vective, aud wished himself the Af
ghan stripe that could so hold her at
tention.
Just then Charlie Hedge (the young
stock brokerage firm was Hedge A
Sorghum) dropped in, and nodding
familiarly to his partner, joined the
family circle by taking a place at Lou's
side. He exclaimed:
'llow jolly! A regular boom in
domestic evenings, eh, Miss Lou ?
Now Uncle Joe was sixty at least,
tall, grizzled, cleau shaven, heavy
browed, with a cast iron look that
seemed expressly made to withstand
humbug, ami steel cold sharp eyes that
could pierce the neatest coating of
sham Having at last finished his
reading, he sat awhile shading his face
with his hands; then looked up sud
denly, as if he had made up his mind
to something, ea.it a searching and dis
comforting glance around the table, and
asked:
'Who would like to hear Teddy's
letter V
'|, ? sajd Sorghum, with the liveliest
interest. 'Ted must be a capital boy.
He's your brother.' (This last in an
aside to Rosee.)
'Fine boy,' confirmed Hedge. 'Saw
him here New Year's. So cheeky.
Cheek is business capital. Ted will
succeed. Let's have the letter.'
'I think my Teddy is very bright,'
remarked Mrs. (Jloss, 'anil so I always
keep him at school, where he has the
best advantages.'
'Yes,' answered Uncle Joe, with an
inscrutable intonation, 'the boarding
school is such an advantage to a child
of ten.'
,Oh, yes, undoubtedly,' sighed mam
ma, with a pensive look at tin; diamonds
! 011 her nice fat fingers; 'end we moth
ers sacrifice everything to the good of
[ our dear children.'
I Uncle Joe coughed neiaily, and then
I asked : 'Are you all sure you want to
hear the letter, an.l that you'll sit still
until the end V
ignite an amiable clamor of voices
assented : so he began the epistle,
which, grammatically aud orthographi
cally ran in this wise:
'DEAR FATHER A MOTHER—Prof.
Whacker gave us a subject for our first
composition when we come bac after
the holidays he said we must rite an
account of new Years it put into it all
we saw A herd wile we was home at
New year time so i rote mine A yister
day he gave it back to me with very
good marked onto it A he sed for me
nottoleve it Lyin roun luce Sol guess
he thort it was pretty good A i guess I
will send it to You so as you see i
make some progress I brush my teeth
very carefull every nite A i am entirly
out of pockit money your aff son.
'TEDHY.'
A murmur of amused admiration
went around, and every one composed
himself with a smile for further listen
ing.
'AN ACCOUNT OF NEW YEARS.
'Boys A gurls have fuu at Christmas
and get presiuts in there stockings Ac
but new Years times is foi grown folks
chrismas eve children has lots of fun so
i think Grown folks ort to have fun
New years eve. I dont want to be
mean about nothiu so I didnt answer
back nothin to 1113* Sister 100 wen she
called me a horrid troublesome boy for
sittiu down in her room after dinner
New years eve she was
'Skolding a little woman wot was a
dresmaker and had brort a long tailed
pink dres home somehow fixed up
wrong and she had her hair all in little
iron gridirons to make it skullup nice
the next day.'
Miss Lou flushed, then laughed aloud
nervously to show that she enjoyed the
joke. L T ncle Joe, without so much as
a quiver of his bushy eyebrows, went
on i
'Rosy was sittin with her feet kurled
up under etiug candy and reding a
story book in her room she sed go way
Teddy and ma she was in her room
having a row with Kamil the made
about her does and she sed go way
Teddy too, then I says were shall I go
to, and she says you may go to the
pluh and find your father. I know
were the Fenix Club is. Just roun the
koruer but father was hussy playing
cards with some men and he sed go
and sit down my son.
'So I set down A looked at some
pictures there was two men talking it
i guess they didunt know me but they
knovved niy sisters good kause one says
Charlie, you go in for 100 if you can
stand her temper A He go in for the
blondy then we wi}l maljo the old man
gloss scttil our bills ile brake her tem
per if i get her says charlie A i will get
more capatil for the Firm.
'blondy is meek A will stay at Home
A not interfear with me i Guess says
the other fellee any way we will share
the profTets.'
A funeral silence fell upon the room
Hedge looked unnaturally child-like
aud unconscious. Sorghum pulled his
moustache over a bad imitation of a
smile.
'then Father he after a good wile got
up A put on his Cote to go home A
just Out side the door of the club
House a man said some thing to lather
and father He said lots of Swear Word*
that ain't allowed boys in professor
Whacker's skdol Alt was all about a
Settihnent
'And father said he Hadunt Got the
money for it. So i thort it was a new
year's presint that Man wanted pa to
buy him
'then we went home. Mother says
to pa thegurls will lookelletrant tomor
rer A they will be sure ketch some
thing worth wile at last.
'Father says they had better ketch it
pretty quick then for things is comin
to an end then all of a sudden pa pounc

'the next day which was uewyears

they were very butiful espeshully 100
tho I like Rosy best.
'ma says pa what do you think of
vour chicker Biddvs and kissed him.
'Pa says hmmf! Aud we went Out
aud he banged the frunt door.'
Mr. Gloss used every wile to turn
Uncle Joe's attention, hut he went 011
mercilessly ;
'Some of the Ladys we called on was
old A some was yung. the ole ones
moscly had no necks in their dresses
A a good many had orfully pink cheeks
A dirty eyes with black Sruudg under
them.
'but Pa sed the Same thing evry
wheres.
'how charming You Are to Day says
pa to all of them A he bowed & bowed.
And he kinder lulled A Bobbed roun A

'Says pa its a nusense so says i wot

then he tells me to hold my tung
'so then we went to see a ugly old
woman with lots of dinions A she
wanted to Kiss Me A i wouldunt do it
A after Wards pa skolded me A said
she was Misses Koopons A i must al
ways kiss such a Rich old lady Then
I asked pa if he was sick A he sed he

Koopons say he was a sick < I flan t
'And father set! more Swear words
A made the Coach man drive me home,
ma and the gurls wer in the parlor A
so was the two men that talked A
Bout 100 And rosy at tho club The big
feller with the mus tash said to Rosy
she was a crewel darling A rosy She
turned her back to him.
'then ma pi used Rosys arm and snid

fan then lots more came in <k they all
looked silly like father k all the oie
men told ma she looked like rosys
sifter, that aint so bekause ma is or
ful fat.'
By this time the whole company had
risen and were trying to interrupt the
reading, when Uncle loe, in a voice
of thunder, commanded attention.
They all fell hack into their seats, and
remained, with many curious changes
of countenance, silent to the end.
'then Xite come on & Loo A' rosy
went I'p stares it put more wite pow
der on there faces it looked at there
Back hair in the Gilas Sc. 100 said rosy
ort to niary mister Sore Gum bekause

A kept sayin rooined, rooined, and all
for appearance So i am tired ritin sich
a long Compersishun and the coach
man took me bac to skool A that is all
1 know a Bout new years.'
Uncle Joe quietly folded up the
scrawl and looked out from under the
thatch of his eyebrows at Hedge, who
glancing a Lou and seeing she was
dangerous, silently left the room and
the house. Sorghum followed, also,
politely escorted to the door by ("nele
Joe's steady gu/.e. The method failed
with Fred Tremaine, for tin; look only
sent him as far as Rosie's side, where
he sat down with determination. Mrs.
Gloss was Bobbing hysterically, and
her husband seemed inclined to drop
down dead.
'Well,' Uncle Joe began, 'well, ain't
you a pack of idiots to sacrifice your
comfort and honesty for this wrotched
show of fashionable life'( Now I've
always disappointed you in the money
way, and I'll do it still.' Mr. Sam
(jloss trembled. 'l'll do it still; for
you think I'm going to see you go to
ruin and 1 won't. I will look over
matters with you, Sain, and find out
how I can put you 011 your legs again
Bat stop this high-pressure living, and
give this girl Rosie to Tremaine, wLo
is a good fellow, if he is poor.'
Rosie and Fred tried to say some
words of thanks, but filling to do jus
tice to their feelings, consoled each
other by clasping bauds.
'There is worse misery than poverty,'
Uncle Joe went on, 'and Miss Loo had
better cast about for some good boy at
a thousand dollar salary, for no brokers
will desire her dowry to mend their
capital. As for Ted,' and I nele Joe
rose to go in the library with his
brother—'he's an example to all young
writers—exact, truthful, impartial. I
value his manuscript. I shall keep
him in pocket money and make him my
heir.'
—"How Can a Woman Tell ?" is tin
title of it recent, poem. Humph! How
can she help telling '/
Mr. K. K. McCousky, Ilellam,
Pa., savs: "Brown's Iron Bitters re
lieved me of dyspeptic symptoms and
gave me refreshing sleep."
—A wealthy young man of Natick,
Mass., while much the worse for drink,
hired a horse. He fell asleep in the
vehicle while the stablers were harness
ing the horse, and they let him sleep in
the stable. When lie awoke he
said he had used the quadruped well,
arid fed him at Newton Lower Falls.
He paid $3 for his drive, and went off
satisfied.

lowing account of the swift manner of
English trials. O'Donuell was sen
tenced immediately after the jurv re
turned a verdict and was hung a" few
days afterward. Gen. Pryor did not
get leave to take part in his defence
and speaks of his trial as follows, en
his return to New York, Dec. 10th :
"1 firmly believed O'Donuell would
be acquitted until the Judge charged
the jury when they came in the second
time and asked what degree of man
slaughter the prisoner's crime would
be ii they found O'Donuell had acted
in the belief that Carey was about to
shoot him.
JUDGE DENMAN'S CHARGE.
''l p to that point I saw nothing to
criticize, and up to that point the jury
evidently inclined toward the prisoner.
"Hut where is the evidence to sup
port this supposition?' asked Judge
I>enman. His interrogatory, with bis
tone, was a most emphatic declaration
that there was no evidence. It was a
thing which he had no right to sav,
and which was a palpable usurpation
of the province of the jury, for it was
for the jury to say whether there was
any evidence to justify a verdict of ac
quittal or manslaughter. After these
words of the Judge it was entirely
evident that the jury were obliged to
bring in a verdict of murder, and the
Judge so knew it to be, and knew the
effect of his words, for he retired to his
private room and returned with the
black cap in his hand before the jury
came in.
"I am absolutely satisfied with the
defense, but Lere let rue refur to an
other matter. Always after the ver
dict of guilty is returned in England
the elerk asks the prisoner if he has
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced. This was asked in
an utterly inaudible tone. I didn't
Lear it, and several barristers who
were rearer to the clerk than I, told
me they did not hear it.
(.'OUNNKLI, CHOKEP OFF.
O'Donnell didn't hear it. 1 say that
absolutely. Immediately the Judge
proceeded to pass sentence. After he
concluded, the wardens on either side
of O'Donnell, took hold of him to re
move him to the prison down stairs—
and my God, it is a prison ! O'Donnell
then waived the wardens off and asked
the Judge if he might not say some
thing.
The Judge waived his hands to stop
him, and the wardens seized him.
O'Donnell had intended to make an ad
dress, but, being cut short, he supposed
it to be a trick to stop him. I shall
never forget that moment. O'Donnell,
untutored and ignorant, shook off his
guards and stood as straight as a wall
His eyes flashed the manhood that was
in him He meant to show the world
that he died game, and believing this
to bo his last chance to signify his pur
pose, as they were forcing him away,
he fulminated the words with a clarion
voice: "Three cheers for old Ireland !
Hurrah for the I'nited States! To
h—l with the British Government!"
Y"ou see he was but a rude man, but the
impression he made was profound."
ENdlilSII CONTEMPT F(\R AMERICA.
If I had made application to be al
lowed to plead for O'Donnell, I know
it would not have been granted. They
graut no courtesy to Ann rieau lawyers,
and the English people generally hold
Americans in the greatest contempt.
In America we have always allowed
English counsel the court?sy of plead
ing A case in point was the Emma
Mine case; but instances are too numer
ous to mention. O'Donnell's counsel
advised against any attempt on my
part to appear for the prisoner. They
said that the prejudice against Ameri
cans was such that any Knglish jury
would convict a man who had an
American counsel. My observations
proved the correctness of what they
said."
"It is time," he continued passionate
ly, "that the American people ceased
to crawl on their bellies to Englishmen.
The English have only derision for an
Englishmen who allows himself to be
toadied to by Americans. Lord Cole
ridge has sunk in the estimation of his
countrymen, and has lost nine-tenths of
the respect which the English people
held for him. It is high time that we
ceased to be a nation of 50,000,000
sycophants "

What Saved Him.
A young wife in Michigan had just
settled in her new home. All seemed
fair and promising, for sin l did not
know her husband was a drunkard.
I>ut one night he eame home at a very
late hour, and much the worse for
liquor. When he staggered into the
house his wife, who was very much
shocked, told him he was sick and
lie down at once; and in a moment or
two he was comfortably on the sofa,
in a drunken sleep. His face was red
dish-purple, and altogether he was a
pitiable looking object.
The doctor was sent for in haste,
and mustard applied to the patient's
feet and hands. When the doctor
came and felt his pulse, and examined
him, and found he was only drunk, he
said:
'He will be all right in the morn
ing.'
But the wife insisted that h«i was
very sick, and that severe remedies
must be used.
on must shave his head and apply
blisters,'she urged,'or I will send for
someone who will.'
The husband's head was according
shaved close, and blisters were applied.
The patient lay all night in a drunk
en sleep, and, notwithstanding the
blisters were eating into the flesh, it
was not till near morning that he be
gan to beat about, disturbed by pain.
Abontdaylight he woke up to the
most uncomfortable consciousness of
blisteaed agonies.
'What does this mean?'he said, put
ting his hands to his blistered head.
'Lie still; you mustn't stir," said
his wife, 'you have been sick.'
'I am not sick.'
'Oh, yes, you are; you have the
brain fever. We have worked with
you all the night."
'I should think you had,' groaned
the poor victim. What's the matter
with my feet?'
'They are blistered.'
'Well, I am better now ; take off
the blisters—do,' he pleaded piteous
'y-
He was in a most uncomfortable
state—his head covered wifcb sores,
and his feet and hands still worse.
'Dear,' he said, groaning, 'if ever 1
should get sick in this way again
don't bo alarmed and send for a doc
tor; and, above all, don't blister me
again.'
'Oh, indeed, I will! All that saved
you were the blisters. And if you
have another such spell, I shall be more
frightened than ever; for the tendency,
I am sure, is to apoplexy, and from the
next attack you are hkely to die unless
there are the severest measures used.'
lie made no further defense. SuHice
to say that he never had anolher attack.

Patrons of Husbandry.
IIARRISBUBO, Dec. 13.—The ses
sions of the State Grange Patrons of
Husbandry to-day were devoted to the
reception and discussion of reports of
committees. The priucipal one was
on the subject of legislation, which em
braced a number of resolutions. They
demand, first, that the conmon school
law be so amended as to embrace in
the rank of studies additional practical
branches and other technical instruc
tions pertaining to agriculture. Among
the resolutions was the following :
AN APPORTIONMENT DEMANDED.
FIFTH. That we demand at the
earliest practical moment that a just
and fair apportionment be made, divid
ing our State into districts of compact
and contiguous territory, so that the
people of the State may have equal and
fair representation in the council of the
nation and State Legislature. The
Legislature, in neglecting to perform
this important duty devolving upon
them under th? Constitution they had
sworn to support and for which they
were specially convened by the Exe
cutive of tbe State, merits our unquali
fied condemnation. Theii indolence
was only equalled by their greed. Had
they manifested half the zeal and unan
imity in the performance of theii con
stitutional duty they did in securing
compensation for non-performed service,
their action would not be a reproach to
the fair fame of our great Common
wealth.
SIXTH. Regarding our order a* a
great educational and moral organiza
tion, we unhesitatingly set our seal
of condemnation upon intemperance,
not only as an unmitigated evil mor
ally, but a fruitful source of expense
in the administration of justice.
—An evil thought in the heart of a
man who has a heart is about as trou
blesome as a wasp in the ear.
—lf you are planing a plan which
involves dishonesty you had better
chew the cud for a little and think
about consequences.
—There is no period in a fond moth
er's lifts when she is happier than im
mediately after the baby has success
fully cut his Ist 2th.
—No woman can do her duty in
fashionable society until she has learn
ed how to pull a number four glove on
a number six hand.
—A man's brain weighs three and a
half pounds. A woman's is somewhat
lighter, but of finer quality. That is
what enables her to taste lard in her
neighbor's pastry.
—There is an old proverb which
says; "You cannot get more out of a
bottle than was put into it." This is
a mistake. A nnm can get all that was
put in the bottle, and thirty days as
well.
—At a recent swell ball a lady ap
peared in a now Berlin toilet, and {im
mediately upon her entrane merriment
reigned supreme, She had on her dress
the wrong way, with the "pouf' in
front.
—lt is a sight worthy of an artist's
crayon to see a woman talking through
a telephone to her grocer three miles
awav, stamping hor foot, and shaking
her fist as though the poor man was
