It was a greou Christmas.
The sick list continues to grow.
The world did not conie to an end

Beab well in mind, that tho time is
fast approaching when you must select
men to fill your borough offices. Let

principles, and all will go well with
borough affairs.
Canada, aa well as this portion of
Pennsylvania, had a green Christmas,
the ilrst in half a century. But the
larger proportion of the northern
United States had all the snow re
quired to cover the earth and dissipate
all fears In regard to the belief that a
green Christmas makes a fat grave
yard. The New York Herald thinks it
would be tho part of wisdom in the
Democrats next year to drop both
Cleveland and Hill, and take a West
ern man. If Hill should bo the
nominee bo would not bo supported
by the Cleveland men heartily, and if
Cleveland is the nominee the Hill
men would sulk In their tents and in
either event It would be dangerous for
the Democracy, so that a western man
aeema to be tho only way out of the
Democratic troubles. Who will he
be?
Iris surprising these days to seo

Inouatitude in children Is becom
ing dally more apparent. Such was
the case in the waywardness of Edwin
M. Field, and tho result is only too
well known. Little aro some child
ren aware of tho great debt they owe
their parents. Nor of the labor, care,
or sacrifices they have been compelled
to shoulder In order to bring up their
sons and daughters. How often, yes,
far too 'often, do these children turn
ingrate and repay the "old man" and
"old woman," as thoy aro pleased to
style them, with nothing but shame
nd sorrow, often causing them to die
broken hearted. Boys aud girls, treat
the old folks kindly. Give them the
cosiest seat by the hearth, and the first
place at the table, and remember that
however much you do, you cannot
cancel the debt.
One can not always tell what is
going to follow, by what has gone be

The year before the presidential elee
tion of 188S the Democrats carried the
state of New York by a majority of
17,000. The year before tho presiden
tial election of 1884 the head of the
Republican state ticket carried the
election by 18,000. The year before
the presidential election of 18S0 tho
contest on most of the state officers
was so close that it required an official
count to determine who had won.
The Republican Lieutenant-Governor
had a plurality of 2S0. The Rf publi
can Secretary of State had a plurality
of 1,800, The Democratic candidate
for Surveyor had a plurality of 12,000,
aud tho Republican Attorney-General
won by 4,000.

Rov. Powiok Freaohod an Inter
esting and Appropriate Sermon
on Ohrlstmaa in tho Meth
odist Church.
Tho sormons on Sunday in the Methodist
Episcopal church note appropriate! to the
Christinas season. Tho account given of
tho who men and tho shepherds In Matt.
2-1.2 and Luko2-8 14 furnished tho thomo
of discourse. Tho atory of tho wiso men
or Magi, is an interesting instance of the
knowledgo of tho truo God which sur
vived among tho hoathon. It Is easily ac
counted for when wo remember that for
two thousand yoars the earth was of one
family and tongue and upon tholr dispor
Bionat Babol they bote with thorn tho truo
knowlodgo of God which was tho common
posossion of all, B.tluam was a prophotof
the truo God though he lived in tho far
oast from which the Magi came a.id he it
was who uttered tho prophecy: "I shall
soo Him but not now; I shall behold llim
but not r.igh; there shall corao a Star out of
Jacob and a sceptic shall rlsa out of Israol."
Daniol was mado tho master of tho wise
men of Babylon and doubtless ho kopt
alivo among thorn tho expectation oi tho
coming deliverer who had beon foretold un
der tho figure of tho "Star" and by his
prophocy gavo a cluo to tho time of his ap
pearance. Ilenco thoy wero on tho look
out, and whon tho miraculous star ap
peared in tho east they understood its
moaning and followed Its guidance. To
tho Jews tbo meesago was sont by angols.
Doubtless because they woro moro fa
miliar with angelic manifestation;. And bo
God rovoals himself to men and communi
cates with them according to their own
capabilities of approhonding his revelation.
In Inflnito condescension ho suits himself to
our capacities. Another lesson is, God is
no rcspector of persons though lie is of
character. In -ono case Ho selected tho
most influential and profoundly philoso
phical class, and in tho other, humble
shepherds to rocolvo tho first tidings of tho
now born Icing. God requires a receptive
spirit, a love of tho truth, meekness, do
cility in those ho employs a3 his messen
gers. In tho ono caso Ho found it in the pro
fessional roligious teachers aud sagos, and
in tho otner he did not. God has no need
for human learning nor ignorance, either.
Ro has no respect for either woalth or
poverty as such. Tho wiso men worshipped
Uitn not her and tho shepherds pro
claimed Rim, Hero wo have sido by side
tho contomplativo and active elements of
piety illu8iratcd. Thoy aro equally useful.
Another losson is concerning the univo.
Eality of the Gospol, Tho prophooy was ful
filled which said "tho Gentilos shall come
to thy light and kings to tbo brightness of
thy rising." And tho angelic visitants do
clared that tho glud tidings of great joy
should bo to all people.

Tho appearance of Mrs. Scott-Siddons at

should call out our theatro goers in force

The play to bo prosontod is au adaptation
from tho French by Harry St. Maur, and
is said to bo full of powerful situations.
It contains a strong part for Mrs. Slddons,
and also a good charactor-parl which Mr.
St. Maur will play himself. Mrs. Siddon's
desire to rolurn to tbo stage, which eho
used to adorn is, nftor all, a natural ono.

The Old Man Talka Again.
Eunoit Ukkaj.o: -.Ys the ond of tho
present year Is near at hand I havo con-
luded to review tho condition of matters
In general. My spirits are depressed by
tho thought tbat I havo laborod in tho
mines for half a century for naught. Tho
mandate of CtirUtianity is "tho laborer is
wo thy of his hire." Tho fulfillment of
t Is displayed in a largor and brighter
civilization. "Labor woll paid," says
Vindicator" in his troatiso on labor, " is
tho oornor-stono upon which stands tho
loinplo of progroes." I fool that one part
of tho mandato has boon sadly neglected,
ospocially tbat part tbat applies to "hire.'
havo toilod early aud late from childhood
and tho pittance I havo received in return
for my labor reminds mo forcibly of tha
trado dollar a big promise with a trust In
God fur tho balance Tho fulfillment ut
tho mandate, I am inclined to boliove, .s
like tho millonnium a long way olT. Dur
ing tho last tou years skilled labor has
suffered a torriblo sot-back. Thoro wa a
period when tho laborer was tho prlda and
buastof tbo nation. Comparitively speak
ing, ho must now tako a seat in the ba,
gago car, his opponent cheap labor l.a
put a sprag in the whtiels of tho palace car
of American industries. Tho grand of
unprincipled parties to accumulato in a U v
yeaiB colloesal fortunes has been a curse w
tho hardy sons of toil. Ignoranoe and
choap labor uro tho greatest obstMles to
succoss. Tho great statesman, Clay, onco
said : "Too manufacturers of this country
need protoctivo tariff. " I am of the opin
ion that tho labor of every Amorican
should bo protocted by honest legislation,
hut alas I tho modo of do ng of late e rs
has not como up to expectation. Many
yoars ago "Vindicator" was of tho opinion
that "tho gates of immigration should ba
shut flat." I agroo with this groat advo
cate of American !abc: to some oxtent, but
I would not go quito so far. I do not think
it would bo advbablo to oxcludo from our
shoros any honest laboring man who be-
liovos in performing an honest day's work
for honest pay, for those who make com
mon causo with us aro of us, and are
ontitlol to tho same privllozos, on tbo
condition that having immigrated to
America thoy shall become American la
all senses of tho torm. Lot him worship
his God according to tho dictates of his
conscience but, by all means, be an Ameri
can- He may labor for whom ho ploases,
but lot hun bo an Amorican, Lot him
rosido in any state of the Union, bu.lit
him act as an American resident. Buc,
on tho other hand, ho who comes to our
shores and i0cks to onforco upon us tho
customs and usages of other lands doai not,
by nny moans, ondwavor to eleva'.o himself
to tho high standard of an American
citizen. I wish all. my follow workmen
and tho IIkiiald a murry Christmas and a
prosperous aud happy New Year.
