DEAR COUSIN JACK—
Pray come to spend
The Holly days with your true Friend.
In Hopes that Weather will permit
To your good Pa.rents Pa has writ.
And you and Ned and Frank can ride
Your Ponies by the Chariot's side.
I am desired to say that Nan
Expects such Sport with Cousin Fan.
She has a Doll from London Town.
With an Egret and Tabby Gown.
She is so proud I But. Jack, we Boys
Can think of better Things tha.il Toys.

Your faithful, loving,
COUSIN DICK.
P. S. —There came gilt Gingerbread
From England in a Box: for Ned
There's a Dragoon; for Francis, too;
But. Jack. I'll save King George for you

Twas sealed and sent—one must confess.

With ebon face and ivory grin.

At hospitable Holly Court -
How Dick and Nan and Harry run
To welcome Ned and Frank and TJH
And Jack, with apple cheeks
In Christmas season long ago
What mirthful games, what generou

What sirloins huge, what cider clear.
What "puddens"—Dicky spelled it thus-
What nut brown turkeys odorous.
What big mince pies in spicy row.
In Christmas season long ago I
As round the hearth the circles smiled
What log fires roared 'neath mantels tiled.
Where, figuring forth the Scripture tele,
Blue Jonah fed the azure whale I
What singing sounds, what genial glow.
In Christmas season long ago I
What stories told as snug they sat
By Cousin This or Uncle That.
Till Dicky vowed togo to sea.
But Jack a soldier bold would be.
Fight for the King and make a show
In scarlet coat. long, long ago.
All passed, like scenes in shifting fire.
And sailor Dick grew up a squire.
While —strange the change the swift
years bring-
Bold Jack fell fighting gainst the King.
All vanished like the melting snow
Of Christinas' season long ago. j

Sullivan County Man
Puts in Strenuous Day.
Talk about a run of hard luck !
Hear the story of Albert Hughes,
a farmer residing in the Forksville,
Sullivan county region. Hughes
got up at 4 o'clock the other morn
ing to start fire under the big boil
er preparatory to the killing of
three fat hogs. He laid his new
gloves near the fire place while he
applied the match, and forgetting
to remove them it was only a few
minutes until he saw them envel
oped by the flames and destroyed.
In adjusting a plank above the
mouth of the barrel in which the
hogs were to Ik* soused, and just
after the barrels had been iilied
with scalding water, Hughes slip
ped on the wet boards and his legs
went into the water almost to the
knee, burning him terribly. He
hung onto work, however, and
inside the next hour, by the falling
of a heavy butcher knife oil' the
ledge where he had hurriedly laid
it after sticking one of the pigs, a
gash three inches long was cut in
his bare arm. That wound put
him on the shelf for the remain
der of the day, though he did
manage to get around to keep the
fires going, In the afternoon,
while a kettle of lard was rendering
over a rousing lire, Hughes, with
his crippled arm attempted to ad
just the kettle, and he tilted it
sufficiently to send a shower of the
liquid grease out upon the fiames.
In an instant the whole kettle of
lard was on fire, and Hughes just
escaped being signed by the ton
gues of flame, which for ten min
utes or more reminded one of an
oil tank on fire. That really
should have been enough ill for
tune for oue da.y but that evening
at the supper table he got a bone
in his throat, and the doctor who
had been sent for ealiei in the day
to dress the knife cut, was called
again to remove the bone.
As soon as this had been ac
complished, Hughes went of to
bed, lest something else of even a
more disastrous character happen
to him. He thinks there must
have been an unlucky change in
the moon for him.--Towanda Re
